Summary
Twilight's chief is informed by his secretary that the admission results for Eden Academy will be announced today. However, the chief isn't worried as he knows Twilight is the best spy and will soon contact them to say he got in. Meanwhile, on their way to check the results, Loid and his family run into a series of "bad luck" events. Getting on the admission board results, Loid is unable to find Anya's name.

Realizing they failed, the Forgers are depressed. Henry Henderson approaches them and shows them a confidential waiting list of successful applicants with Anya being on top of it. Henry explains that if someone of the successful applicants decide to withdraw, Anya will get in the school. Loid is surprised considering what they did, but Henry states that the mosquitoes are the number one human killers and Loid saving Murdoch Swan from it, boosted their points. Yor realizes that if no one withdraws. For a moment, she imagines killing an applicant's father so Anya can get in, but decides not to as she mustn't kill an innocent person. Henry tells the Forgers to wait for a call as usually few applicants withdraw each year. However, he explains that due to his actions against Murdoch, he may not be a teacher for long. Loid wonders who will be more useful between Henry and Murdoch, but is ready to destroy Murdoch if he stands in his way.

Three days later, the Forgers are still waiting for a call. As the phone rings, Loid rushes to it and picks it up. When he hangs up, he informs Yor and Anya that Anya is in, making everyone happy. Few moments later, Franky, who already knows that Anya is in, comes and brings booze for them to celebrate. While they celebrate, a bit drunk Franky slips that he sold Loid the test answers, but being drunk, Yor didn't hear it right. Franky tells Anya that Loid will be her anything she wants as a reward. Anya states she doesn't want he to buy her anything, but do wish to do something. Anya shows Spy Wars and wants Loid to save her from a castle. Loid refuses, but Franky explains that the castle from the show is remodeled as a theme park and can be rented. Franky then persuades Loid to reward Anya and Loid ends up accepting. Loid then contacts WISE agency, informing them that he got into Eden. He also requests a plane and believing it’s an emergency situation, they immediately send him one. The Forgers and Franky then get on the plane and head towards the castle.

At the castle, Anya and Franky are excited and run around, but soon Anya stops, saying that without enemies or servants it's not fun. Franky agrees with her and tells Loid to step up. Loid then contacts his agency again and requests as many agents they can send. WISE then calls all agents in Ostania for an emergency over SS rank mission at Newton Castle. As the agents arrive, they get excited to see the famous Twilight. Loid then thanks them for coming and helping out, but secretly gives them a Morse code message, that this is a mission related to Operation Strix. Franky and Anya then explain that Anya will be the princess, while Loid will play Loidman, a spy that came to save her, and Franky will play Count Scruffy Head, the big bad guy. Franky tells the agents that they are his subordinates, and they must do everything they can and want to get in Loidman's way.

As the play starts, Franky takes Anya and tells Loid that he must answer the quiz that Anya made and if he doesn't answer correctly, he will have to put Bondman costume. Franky then asks what Anya likes about Bondman. Loid guesses his face, but Anya reveals it’s the fact that he has a pistol with a silencer. Loid gets the second question right, saying that Anya's favorite food is peanuts. For the final question, Franky asks what Anya wants right now. Thinking about it, Loid says it’s Bondman's spy gear, but Anya explains she is thirsty and wants some water. As he got two of the three questions wrong, Loid is forced to put on the Bondman costume.

Proceeding, Loid enters a room with large balls and agents and Franky explains that he needs to pass through them. Loid manages to pass through them and reaches a tower, but to reach the top, he needs to pass through more agents who has guns shooting balls. Loid manages to find one and take his gun and proceeds to shoot the rest and make his way up. From the top of the tower, he zip lines to a room, where Franky has Anya, who asks Loidman to save her. As there are agents in the room, Loid feels embarrassed having to act out, but for the mission success, he decides to do it and asks Franky to hand over the princess. Franky then introduces the most powerful witch in the world, Yorticia, played by Yor. Drunk, Yor takes it seriously and starts attacking Loid, giving him a hard time, but ends up breaking her shoe heel and falls asleep on the ground. Loid then faces Franky as the final boss but beats him with ease. Loid tells Anya that he came to save her and that makes her happy. The agents are happy as well. They activate fireworks and congratulate Anya for getting into the school. After everyone leaves, Anya stays with Loid watching the sky and she tells him that she had so much fun after leaving the orphanage and it’s all thanks to Loid, and she will do her best at school. Loid smiles at her and congratulated her for passing the exam, and as they looked at the sky, Anya leaned on him while. The next day, WISE receive invoice for expenses for a shocking amount.
