Synopsis:

Five years after the fall of the oppressive Gaz Empire, a fragile peace exists between six nations. Tooru Acura, a veteran saboteur struggling with post-war life, finds himself drawn into a complex situation when he encounters Chaika Trabant. She seeks to honor her deceased father by recovering his remains, a task that quickly becomes entangled in political intrigue. Hired as protection, Tooru and his adoptive sister Akari find themselves pursued by agents of the Council of Six Nations, tasked with preventing Chaika from uncovering truths about her lineage. The story explores themes of legacy, duty, and the moral compromises individuals face when history and present-day peace collide. As the Acura siblings navigate a world wary of the past, they must decide whether to aid Chaika in her personal quest or uphold the uneasy stability of the continent.
