Yor Forger/Synopsis

History
Yor and her younger brother Yuri grew up in Eastern Nielsberg. Orphaned at a young age, Yor was recruited into Garden, where she began working as an assassin to provide financially for her brother. Wanting her brother to live without worries, she would use her paycheck to buy whichever educational books or snacks her brother desired.

She continued to support her brother with paychecks from her assassination jobs until Yuri was hired into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a diplomat. Afterwards, she used the money for herself instead and continued doing contracts into the present. Before her work at Berlint City Hall, she gave "massages" to customers, a euphemism for her assassination work.

Introduction Arc
Yor first appears as a female employee working at Berlint City Hall. Her coworkers, Camilla, Millie, and Sharon, try to involve Yor in their gossiping and fashion talk, but her indifferent and air-headed response causes them to make fun of her. Camilla warns her of appearing suspicious as a single 27-year-old, then invites her to a party and suggests that she bring someone along. At her home, she converses with Yuri over the phone. She tries to appease his concerns about her getting married by lying that she will bring her boyfriend to the party. This backfires as Yuri decides to hear about the boyfriend from his friend, Dominic, who is also attending the party and hangs up before Yor can protest.

As Yor is frantic about being exposed as a liar to her brother, she receives another call, this time from her employer, who dispatches her to The Royal Hotel. Yor is revealed to be the assassin known as the "Thorn Princess," who easily takes down her targets and any obstacles. As she is cleaning up, she realizes her only good dress is torn. The next day, Yor goes to the boutique to have her dress mended, where she meets Loid and Anya Forger. After her initial misunderstanding of Loid's marital status, she requests that he be her pretend boyfriend at the party, which he agrees to under the condition she pretends to be his wife at the school interview.

On the night of the party, Yor waits outside for Loid, who is running late. She eventually gives up, disappointed at being stood up, but attends the party alone to avoid worrying her brother. She endures humiliation from her coworkers for lying about bringing a boyfriend and even contemplates killing all of them to prevent her brother from finding out. When she decides to leave the party, Loid suddenly enters, bleeding and injured, and introduces himself as her husband by accident. Camilla, jealous of Yor having a refined and handsome husband, attempts to humiliate her, but Yor turns the tables without understanding her coworker's intent. Camilla exposes Yor's previous job of performing "massages," Loid expresses his admiration for Yor doing such harsh tasks for her brother, moving her. Loid excuses the two of them from the party, and they leave.

As Loid drives away, he apologizes for introducing himself as her husband. As Yor is about to propose an idea, they are interrupted by a car ramming into them. Loid makes up an excuse that they are his patients still suffering from delusions, which she believes. They escape into an abandoned factory and abandon their van. As they run around the factory knocking their pursuers out, Loid saves Yor from being shot and in return, she saves him after sending a surprise attacker rolling away with a single kick, much to Loid's surprise. They both laugh together, and he thanks her. Another attacker causes them to run away, and Yor decides to ask Loid to marry her, causing him to trip. She explains that she wishes to extend their agreement and remain together as camouflage. Loid agrees as he throws a grenade at their pursuers, using the pin as a wedding ring as he says his vows to her.

Admissions Interview Arc
With the marriage cover now established, Yor relocates to the Forger residence and receives a warm welcome. After unpacking, she helps Loid and Anya with a mock interview on what to expect, but neither doing so well. Loid takes Yor and Anya on a tour of high society locations to broaden their perspectives and take in the culture to improve their standing with the admissions, but it also does not go as planned. To help them relax, Yor takes the two to a park overlooking the city, which Yor admits she visits to remind herself that her work matters. When they witness a purse snatching, Yor gives chase immediately but loses the thief in a narrow back alley. Returning to check on the robbed elderly lady, Yor regroups with Loid and Anya, where she watches over Anya as Loid finds the thief and knocks him out. With the purse returned, the Forgers visit the grateful old lady, who compliments the Forgers as looking like a sweet family. Returning home, Yor prepares some drinks as they retry their mock interview questions with better results, and they enjoy their evening before the admissions the next day.

On the day of the interview, the Forgers make their entrance onto Eden Academy, and Yor immediately senses observing glares as Loid acknowledges the faculty observing them. Yor follows Loids lead to salute the statue of the school's founder to earn favor and proceed to their next location as directed, where Loid rescued a boy from a storm drain. Sullied by rescuing the boy, the Forgers took on new apparel before a stampede from the school's petting zoo came down the scene. Leaving Anya with Loid, Yor lunges at the cow leading it and strikes it down with pressure point strikes, ruining her second dress. Realizing her actions, Yor hastily forms an excuse about learning yoga before Anya walks to the downed cow, and it then walks away from her kindness. Once the animals passively depart, Housemaster Henry Henderson greets the Forgers and invites them in after they clean up, to which they had already done so.

At the interview, Yor answers questions about being Anya's stepmother just like she practiced with Loid, but is caught off-guard about questions concerning her cooking by Walter Evans and Murdoch Swan's disappointment in her, which Loid defends her for. Once they question Anya on Yor as her stepmother, the child gives Yor and Loid a perfect 100 score. However, Professor Swan asks Anya to compare her birth mother to Yor, resulting in Anya crying and Yor coming to her aid. Hearing Swan's dismissal of Anya's feelings, Yor's bloodlust flares up but is stopped after Loid smashes the table. After Loid gives the teachers a departing comment, Yor takes Anya with her as the family go home, where they sulk at the likelihood of Anya's failure to get accepted. Preparing tea to calm the nerves, Yor worries about her future with the Forger's but justifies it as being about continuing her cover. Serving the tea, Yor asks Loid to cheer up as Anya noted Professors Evans and Henderson being more likely to recommend her. The family toast to a positive future before growing dismayed at their family portrait falling, scared by the bad omen.

On the day of Eden Academy's admissions announcement, the Forgers look for Anya's application number on the board and are dismayed when it is not there. As they prepare to leave, Henry stops them and shows them a waiting list with Anya's name on the top, explaining that Anya will be given a spot upon an accepted student's withdrawal. While he continues to talk, Yor fears the possibility of none of the accepted students declining and imagines killing a parent of one of the accepted students to obtain a spot for Anya. After her daydream, Yor shakes her head and reminds herself not to kill an innocent person, to Anya's amusement.

Three days later, Yor is ecstatic to hear that Anya has been offered a spot. Franky Franklin arrives at the Forgers' front door with a bottle of alcohol to celebrate Anya's success. The group drinks while eating delivered dinner, with Yor quickly becoming drunk from the alcohol and unable to listen to Franky and Loid's conversation. Anya requests to be saved in a castle, so Loid rents one and brings Yor and Franky. Anya assigns Loid and Franky roles to play while telling Yor that she can be whatever, to her shock. To stop "Loidman," Franky summons Yor, dubbing her "Yorticia," the world's deadliest witch. Yor drunkenly attacks Loid with a kick that he barely manages to dodge, leaving him with a bleeding cut on his cheek. Yor continues to attack Loid with rapid kicks, but the heel of her left shoe eventually snaps, sending her falling backward as she falls asleep.

Eden Beginnings Arc
The Forgers go to the boutique to get Anya's measurements for her uniform. The shop owner is surprised by Yor's marriage, and Yor apologizes for not telling her the last time she visited. Five days later, Loid receives a call from the boutique saying that Anya's uniform is ready and asks Yor to handle it. At the boutique, Anya tries on her new Eden Academy uniform, delightedly showing off and posing to Yor. They drop by the park after, where Anya continues to show off to other people. As Yor overhears other mothers deciding what to cook, Yor is reminded of the events at the admissions interview and wishes to become a better mother to Anya, despite being a fake family.

Yor decides to drop by the supermarket and try cooking dinner for that night. As Yor purchases her groceries, Anya goes outside and gets nabbed by delinquents, who hope to extort some cash from the girls. Yor knocks one of the delinquents out with her bag of groceries, and when another tries to hit her with a pumpkin, she slices through it with her hand, breaking it to pieces. Yor asserts herself as Anya's mother and scares the delinquents away. Yor comforts Anya but becomes depressed that all the groceries are in a mess now. Anya pats Yor on the head and declares that she loves Yor as she is: a cool and strong mother. She then asks Yor to train her to become strong like her and be safe at Eden Academy. Yor realizes she may not be a normal mother but becomes confident with her abilities, and they go home to train. Loid returns home and is confused to see them training.

Yor asserts herself as Anya's mother and threatens the delinquents, scaring them away. Yor comforts Anya with a hug but becomes depressed that all the groceries are in a mess now. Anya pats Yor on the head and declares that she loves Yor as she is, a cool and strong mother, and imitates Yor's punch. Anya asks Yor to train her to become strong like her and be safe at Eden Academy. Yor realizes she may not be a normal mother but becomes confident with her abilities, and they return home to train. Loid returns home and is confused to see them training, Yor telling him they are preparing for school.

On Orientation Day, the Forgers listen as a faculty member gives a speech congratulating the new students. After Anya's class leaves for the school tour, Yor and Loid head to the Hall C Lounge for a meet-and-greet with the student's guardians, where she stays with him while he mingles with the parents.

During the tour, Anya gets bullied by Damian Desmond and his friends. She considers punching him but remembers Yor teaching her to smile when confronted with conflict. Anya tries following Yor's teachings, but she makes the situation worse, eventually escalating to her punching Damian. When Henry confronts her, Anya recalls another lesson from Yor, who said violence is only appropriate to use when saving a friend in trouble. Anya makes up an excuse that Damian stepped on Becky Blackbell’s foot earlier, which is why she got mad and punched him.

After orientation, a faculty member announces that a group photo will be in the courtyard. When the students return to their families, Loid notices that Anya is nowhere to be seen and is pulled aside by Henderson, who informs them that Anya punched Damian and earned a Tonitrus Bolt. Yor consoles Anya and apologizes to Loid. As the Forgers take the commemorative photo with the other families, they cannot hide their distressed faces.

The following morning, Yor and Anya apologize for yesterday's incident. Loid brushes it off and says to forget about it if Anya learned her lesson. After they drop Anya off at the bus, Yor and Loid go to their work.

The next day, Loid forces Anya to study. Yor suggests giving her a break, but Loid turns her down. When Anya asks Yor for help, her thought process starts going on a tangent as she reads the question, shocking Anya as she reads her mind. Sick of studying, Anya runs off to her room, and Loid orders her to come back. Yor intervenes, telling him not to force the studies on her. Loid contends that if she does not study, she will never become an honors student. Yor asks if that is what Anya wants and says that she wants Anya to enjoy her school life while studying enough to keep her from failing. Loid admits that Yor is right and thanks her for speaking up, and she suggests taking a break while she makes tea.

Loid and Yor later try coaxing out Anya with some hot cocoa, but she stays in her room. Yor says the situation reminds her of her brother, prompting them to talk about him. Loid says Yuri’s intelligence must be impressive since he works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asks how he studied back when he was younger. Yor admits that Yuri taught her more than she did with him, remembering their numerous lessons and telling Loid how happy he seemed when she praised him for his studies. Loid realizes Yuri's motivation was earning Yor's praise, and she proposes doing the same for Anya. When Loid starts doubting himself as a father, Yor reassures him, telling him to believe in himself more and reminds him of Anya’s 100-point score. Loid thanks Yor, who grows flustered and apologizes for being so forward despite being an outsider. Loid asserts her as part of the family and asks if she could help with Anya's study sessions and she agrees.

Secret Police Arc
At Berlint City Hall, Millie explains to Yor and Sharon how Jim Hayward got detained by the SSS for espionage. Camilla arrives and asks Yor if she has told Yuri about her marriage. Yor starts worrying, having forgotten about Yuri. Even though she married so he would not worry about her, she was too relieved that she forgot to tell him. After hearing that Yuri will call her later, Yor’s coworkers chat about him and how attached he is to her. Yor returns home from work and worriedly announces Yuri's imminent visit to celebrate her marriage. She asks Loid what they should do, and he replies that this is the occasion he prepared the "loving couple" set for, decorating the house with stereotypical things a loving married couple would have. Anya asks if they will kiss now, and her flustered parents say they are not. When Yuri arrives, Yor and Loid welcome him with smiles.

After Loid and Yuri greet each other, Loid goes to the kitchen to make dinner while the siblings catch up. While showing him to his seat, Yor pledges to act as a loving wife in front of Yuri, not wanting him to discover her reason for getting married. Yuri expresses his disapproval of Yor's marriage and asks why she kept it a secret from him for a whole year. Yor confidently says she just forgot to tell him. Yuri brings up their last phone call, during which a partner was mentioned, and asks why Yor did not tell him then. Yor says she forgot that she forgot to tell him. Yuri accepts her response, losing all reason when dealing with his sister, and they laugh it off.

Yuri reveals a bottle of wine he brought, inviting Loid to join him. Yuri starts asking specific questions about their relationship, including what they call each other. After Loid says he calls Yor by her name, Yuri asks Yor what she calls Loid, suggesting nicknames like "Loidy" or "Loi-Loi." Yor is too flustered to speak, and Yuri, who assumes it true, drinks away in anger. Loid changes the topic to Yuri's career, and they chat about his trip to Hugaria. After Loid says they will treat Yuri for the wine he brought, Yor asks Yuri if he is happy to have such a wonderful brother-in-law. Yuri angrily reiterates that he does not recognize their marriage or Loid as his brother-in-law, explaining how much Yor is important to him. In response, Loid proclaims his love for Yor, and she is surprised by his boldness.

After Yor and Loid get uncomfortable when they accidentally touch hands, Yuri questions their relationship. He tells them to prove their love by kissing each other, or he will have their marriage annulled. Loid accepts his terms, telling Yor they will do what they always do. On the other hand, Yor is unprepared for her first kiss and furiously blushes as Loid moves closer.

Unable to kiss Loid sober, Yor downs the wine bottle and gets drunk. When Yuri accuses them of stalling time, Yor throws a fork at him and tells him to be quiet. She pushes Loid down onto the couch and moves in to kiss him. Yor cannot help but be embarrassed, so she tries slapping Loid. However, Yuri jumps in at the last second to stop them and finds himself on the receiving end of her slap. Yuri misinterprets the slap as her being mad that he tried to stop their kiss and temporarily concedes defeat. When the siblings start staggering while trying to help each other up, Loid catches them. He says he admires the sibling’s bond and will do everything he can to support Yor. Yuri pushes Loid away and announces his departure. Yuri says he will be back to find proof that Loid duped Yor into marrying him and warns him before leaving.

After Yuri leaves, the couple cleans up the house. Yor thanks Loid for tonight and how he was willing to accept Yuri as family. Loid says that as someone with no other family apart from Anya, he envies the siblings. But more importantly, he is glad Yuri did not find out about their sham marriage. Yor agrees and suggests that they go to bed. They then remember the shared bed and decide to sleep separately. In her sleep, Yor mutters that if Yuri hits Loid, she will be very cross.

The next day, Anya gets upset at not being able to meet Yuri, so Yor tells her they will see him again soon. While having breakfast, Anya says Yor is a bad cook. Yor is shocked that Anya knows she made breakfast and apologizes. As they prepare to leave, Loid says Yor has gunk on her neck and removes it. Yor thanks him but gets flustered, thinking he was going to kiss her. She reflects on her incompetence as a wife and determines that Loid has been distant because he is upset at her. When Yor and Loid drop off Anya at the school bus, she looks back at them and tells them to get along.

At Berlint City Hall, Yor types at her desk while holding back tears, calling herself a failure of a wife. She then asks her coworkers for advice on how to be a better wife, but they tell her to break up with Loid. Their conversation is interrupted by Chief Barnes, who tells them to get back to work and asks Yor to drop off a letter at the post office for him. After Yor drops it off, she wonders if the money she earns as an assassin could make her useful but realizes it might end up being suspicious and that Loid probably does not need financial support.

While she thinks, she gets stopped by two Secret Police officers. Unbeknownst to her, they are Loid and Franky in disguise, trying to see if Yor has connections to the SSS through her brother. The officers take her to an alley for questioning, making her wonder if she seemed suspicious looking at the married couple's account poster because she does not look married. They elaborate that in their mail inspection, they noticed the letter she just posted was a coded message to the West. After confirming that Yor’s name is on the letter, they list Yor as a collaborator and suspect of conspiracy. Yor then hears stories of the torture of SSS captives and how someone with a SSS family member can be cleared of any suspicions.

Yor defends her innocence, even getting ready to fight the officers for Yuri and Loid’s sake. The officers double-check the letter and realize they decoded incorrectly, which they say is from Mr. Barnes to a renowned hemorrhoid specialist. They apologize for the misunderstanding and excuse her, but not before asking her to keep the letter's contents a secret. After work, Yor walks home, concerned about the recent events. She runs into Loid, who suggests that they walk home together. He removes gunk from her again as he removes the bug he planted earlier. Yor apologizes for her incompetence as Loid’s wife, but he comforts her by telling her to be the way she is without worrying about their facade. A relieved Yor then expresses her happiness and appreciation for being Loid's partner. Loid proposes getting a cake to celebrate their fake first anniversary, and she agrees. Anya returns home and is relieved to see them getting along.

Stella Star Arc
Anya tells her parents that she has a chance to earn a Stella Star in a dodgeball match for P.E. class. Determined to help Anya do well, Yor trains with her in preparation for the game and teaches her how to make a strong throw.

After Anya saves a boy from drowning while doing community service, she earns her first Stella Star. Yor is happy for Anya and gives her a big hug, squeezing her a bit too hard. She then says she will cook something special for dinner, but Anya says she would rather have Loid's cooking, shocking her.

When Anya arrives home, she tells her parents that she wants a dog as a reward for her Stella Star. While thinking about dogs from her experience as an assassin, Yor envisions dogs that would attack and kill Anya. After reading her parents' minds, Anya tells the two of them that she wants a small, cute dog which makes Yor envision a small dog slashing Anya's throat with a knife in its mouth. The family then spends the rest of their night looking at different dogs that Anya might want. Somewhere else, a large, white dog's ears perk up as he visualizes an image of the Forgers happily smiling at him.

Doggy Crisis Arc
The Forgers go on an outing to the pet shop to get a dog for Anya. There, the family meets muscular and ferocious-looking dogs that Anya rejects. They hear of an adoption fair at the animal shelter, and they decide to check it out. Before they leave, Loid says he has bowel issues and needs to find a restroom, telling them to go ahead without him. Yor says they will wait for him, but Anya says Loid takes a long time in the restroom, and Yor awkwardly agrees to go. At the animal shelter, Yor is surprised at the size of the adoption fair and wonders why Loid did not take them there first. While Yor talks about what kinds of dogs to adopt with an employee, Anya runs off on her own and ends up at the hands of a terrorist group.

Yor frantically runs around the fair in search of Anya. Anya is nowhere to be seen, and Yor assumes the worst has happened. She remembers seeing on the news that young women have been kidnapped and forced to get married and imagines Anya in that scenario. Yor wonders what to do and nervously paces around, hoping for Loid to return. She overhears Anya yelling and looks out the window to see her on the back of a large white dog. When Anya gets cornered by Keith Kepler and Kurt in an alleyway, Yor jumps from behind and kicks Kurt, ricocheting him off the walls. She shouts that Anya is too young to get married, believing the men were kidnappers.

Keith sends his German shepherd after Yor, who makes a scary face, frightening it and Anya. A crowd starts gathering near the alleyway, so Keith runs away and ditches the large dog. Yor stays with Anya and asks what the story is with the dog, and Anya explains that the men are terrorists who are planning to use bomb dogs. Yor reports this to the police and asks Anya for information about the terrorists. While she does this, Anya runs off with the dog, saying she needs to bring Loid toilet paper before rushing off. Yor quickly finishes her call and chases after Anya, only to lose her.

Looking for Anya, Yor crosses a footbridge and spots Keith driving nearby. Determined to stop him, she jumps off the footbridge and into the road in front of the car. Keith tries to press forward, but Yor kicks him off the road, causing him to crash and fall unconscious. She then notifies the police of the incident and resumes her search for Anya. Running back to the pet shop, Yor crosses paths with Loid, Anya, and the dog.

She explains to Loid their side of the story with the terrorists, shocking him. He apologizes for being in the restroom the entire time, but Yor apologizes for the breakfast she made, which she assumes is what kept him there. The family is approached by Handler, disguised as a SSS agent, who asks them questions and needs to take in the dog. Yor and Loid are surprised when Anya objects to the idea and threatens never to go to school again if she cannot keep the dog. After Handler relents, Yor celebrates with Anya and the dog. As the family head back home, Yor proudly thinks about how she saved the country. The next day, the dog is dropped off at the Forger Residence and receives a warm welcome from the Forger Family.

The Forgers decide to take their new dog out to the dog park. When talking about giving the dog a name, Loid says that "dogs prefer plosives," and Yor mishears that "dogs prefer explosives," imagining their dog wanting to use C-4 for her next assassination target. When the family returns home, Anya introduces her parents to Bond Forger. Yor starts washing the dishes and sees Anya and Bond sleeping beside each other after playing. She calls Loid to see them, and they decide to give her a pass from studying for the night.

Midterm Exams Arc
Yor arrives home late with a grim face and hands covered in cuts and bandages. Loid asks if she would like dinner, but she declines and tells them to eat without her as she is not hungry. Yor goes into her room and shuts the door. Yor thinks to herself that if she fails at "this," it could cost her the family. The night after, Yor arrives at Camilla's house after work to practice her cooking.

Three days earlier, Yor told her coworkers about wanting to learn how to cook because a breakfast she made put Loid on the toilet for a whole day. She worries that her marriage will be over if she cannot cook. Dominic overhears the conversation and says Camilla is a great cook. Despite Camilla’s rejection, Dominic and Yor push her to help. Back in the present, an angry Camilla tells Dominic that he will be 'poison-testing' tonight, but Dominic reveals that he invited Yuri for that. Yuri arrives shortly after, to Yor's surprise, and she explains that she is trying to improve her cooking in secret.

Yor starts by trying to prepare the ingredients but ends up messing up the kitchen. Camilla gets upset and tells Yor to give up and divorce her husband. Yor pleads with Camilla to help her, and she relents. She helps Yor finish two dishes, which Yuri enthusiastically digs in and says are fantastic while eating and throwing up the dish. Camilla asks if Yor can remember anything her parents made for them, and the Briar siblings recall a stew that their mother made. Yor starts her attempt to recreate her mother's stew, carefully following Camilla's instructions. Camilla watches Yor cook and notes that she has been much less robotic lately. Yor completes the soup without trouble, but Yuri says it is not quite how he remembers. After Yor tells Camilla they are from Eastern Nielberg, Camilla adds some sour cream to the soup. Yor and Yuri both take a spoonful and look at each other, realizing this is the stew they had as children.

Yor returns home and proudly announces that she will be making dinner tonight, to Loid and Anya’s shock. While preparing her dish, she explains to Loid that she was taking cooking lessons and apologizes for hiding it. Yor presents her finished stew to Loid and Anya, who is surprised that it is good. Yor cries out of happiness and realizes that the marriage is not just to protect her contract-killing job but also because she likes making her new family happy. Loid says he cannot wait to see what she makes next, so she presents them with a "Yor Forger original" dish. Loid and Anya excitedly eat it before collapsing to the ground.

As Anya's midterm exams approach, Yor enlists the help of Yuri to tutor her. Yuri arrives to help Anya but starts getting upset at her ineptitude. Yor asks him to be more supportive, and Anya exaggerates her love for her, making Yuri kinder with his critiquing. While the two study together, Yor watches them in the kitchen as she makes tea and sweets. After an exhausting study session, Anya appears to have not learned anything, causing an impatient Yuri to storm out of the house, only returning for a moment to eat all the cookies Yor had just made. When Loid returns home, Yor tells him how hard Anya studied. After Anya receives her midterm scores, Yor congratulates her, telling her that if they are all added together, it is over 100 points.

When Anya returns home from school and tells her parents about George Glooman's situation, Yor is touched by the story.

Campbelldon Tennis Arc
Anya asks Yor to help with her 'job investigation' project for school, which requires the student to ask someone about their profession and watch them at work. Yor wonders which job to talk about and imagines a scenario where she brings Anya to her assassin work. In it, Yor explains her job and why she chose it. She thoroughly explains her work conduct and killing methods while demonstrating them to Anya. Back in reality, the two agree that Anya should make her report on Loid's job. Two days later, Loid and Anya return from Berlint General Hospital, where Loid helped Anya with her project. Yor tells Anya about Loid’s concussive therapy, to his dismay.

Fiona Frost visits the Forger home and meets Yor. Fiona introduces herself as Loid's co-worker and is returning a magnifying glass Anya left behind at the hospital. Yor thanks her and invites her to come in. During their conversation, Fiona claims that Loid frequently complains about Yor, but she is interrupted by the return of Loid, Anya, and Bond. Yor explains to Loid why Fiona came to visit and decides to make drinks for everyone.

As she prepares the drinks, Yor thinks about Fiona talking of Loid's complaints and imagines him deciding to report her to the authorities and marry Fiona instead, causing her to lose confidence in her role. After serving everyone their drinks, Anya accidentally spills her cocoa on the table, and Yor quickly wipes any of it off her in concern. Suddenly, Anya starts clinging to Yor and calls her the best mother in the whole world for wiping up her cocoa. Yor is touched and tells Loid that she will try harder for the family, who smiles and reassures her. Fiona leaves abruptly, leaving her umbrella behind. Loid decides to return it and walk her to the station, and Yor agrees.

While Loid goes out to a tennis competition with work associates, Yor plays tennis at the park with Anya and Bond. Yor's mind drifts off and wonders what exactly Fiona is to Loid. She considers doing whatever it takes to prevent the possibility of her going back to her old life and making Yuri worry for her, but stops herself from thinking about such things. Having read her thoughts, Anya pats Yor and tells her not to worry. Yor is surprised and wonders if Anya knew what she was thinking, but Anya says she does not have to worry because Loid will bring home the tournament trophy. Yor agrees and cheers him on with Anya.

After Loid's competition, Yor, Anya, and Bond are still at the park. Yor is surprised when Fiona and Loid appear, who explain that she gave him a ride back. Fiona assumes that Yor must be a skilled tennis player and challenges her to a game. Loid tells his wife that she does not have to accept, but Yor believes that if she declines or loses, Loid will report her to the SSS for being a weak tennis player and replace her with Fiona, so she accepts the challenge. At the start of the game, Yor makes a powerful swing and ends up slicing the ball to pieces. Yor realizes she needs to hold back a little if she wants to hit the ball and goes for another shot.

Yor then tells a stunned Fiona that she is going to try again. Yor swings the ball, which moves faster than sound and in a perfectly straight line. Fiona tries her best to return the ball but ultimately loses. Fiona falls to the ground in defeat and declares Yor the victor for now but swears to challenge her to a revenge match one day before driving away. Yor walks up to Loid, enthusiastically proclaiming her victory to him, and struts away. Sometime after this, while Loid attends his briefing, Yor sits at home on the couch looking dazed.

Yor trudges home from work with a dazed expression. Yor mutters that she is being kicked to the curb, causing the neighbors to assume Loid is cheating on her. Overhearing their gossip and looking to clear up her misunderstanding about his and Fiona's relationship, Loid invites Yor on a night out. He takes her to a bar, where they make a toast for her hard work. Yor assumes that Loid will replace her with Fiona, and when he tries bringing up Fiona, Yor suddenly shouts, believing it is true. Yor then remembers that she and Loid married out of self-interest, so she does not have the right to pry into his personal life. Assuming Fiona is someone Loid legitimately cares for, Yor decides to withdraw from their fake marriage for his happiness.

She tries to inform Loid of her decision but cannot bring herself to speak. Seeking strength through liquid courage, Yor downs her and Loid's drinks. However, a now-drunk Yor asks Loid if he is in love with Fiona, demanding an answer. Loid tries to explain that he and Fiona have a strictly professional relationship, but Yor does not listen to him and talks about how she is a bad wife and is not pretty like Fiona. She sulks, remembering Loid’s compliments for her, and says he must be bored with her now. Loid then surprises Yor when he starts making advances toward her. He tries asking her to be his real wife but is kicked clean in the chin by an embarrassed Yor and knocked out.

The bartender kicks them out for causing a commotion, so Yor takes Loid to a bench where he rests on her lap. Five minutes later, Loid awakens to Yor singing a familiar lullaby. Yor brings him up to speed and apologizes for being unable to contribute anything to their relationship. Loid then confides to her about his mother, who always made him feel safe around her because she was strong. He relates this to how Anya feels safe around Yor, who he says is also strong. He assures Yor that she is already an incredible mother and does not intend to replace her with Fiona. Loid tells her to have more faith in herself, which is why he hopes she will continue being Anya's mother and his wife. Yor starts to tear up and accepts his proposal.

They return home late with Loid having swelled his chin, to which Anya and Franky tease him. While making tea for everyone, Yor thinks about how she is surprised to have found a place she was so unwilling to leave behind. The next day, Yor has forgotten everything that happened yesterday, and she and Loid end up having the same conversation all over again.

Imperial Scholars Mixer Arc
Before Becky Blackbell and Anya go on a shopping trip, Loid hands Anya some spending money before leaving for work, and Yor is shocked by the amount he lent their daughter. After Becky arrives to pick up Anya, Yor thanks her butler, Martha, for looking after Anya.

After the Imperial Scholar's Mixer, Loid returns home, and Yor welcomes him back, telling him how Anya had been asleep since she was dropped off home by Becky and Martha.

Having run out of dog food and Loid coming home late, Yor decides to make Bond's dinner. Bond foresees his death from Yor's dinner and has the idea to help Loid with his work and comes home early to make his food instead. Bond runs away from home to find Loid, despite Yor calling him back.

Yuri drops by the Forger home with the whole family at home. When Yor asks if something is wrong, Yuri says he wanted to see his sister's face. Yor praises him for working hard and decides to make tea for everyone.

After Anya receives her quiz scores, Loid and Yor look at her papers, and she is surprised at how tough they are. Loid tells Anya that he made her favorite hamburg steak for dinner, and Anya is cheered up. Yor chimes in, saying she tried making dessert, and Bond barks in horror.

Great Cruise Adventure Arc
While out for her lunch break, Yor runs into Franky and learns about his hunt for Kacey's missing cat Kopi. Yor decides to help Franky, saying that a friend of her husband is a friend of hers. After using a machine to lure in cats, Yor and Franky get swarmed by a crowd of cats. Franky finds and tries to capture Kopi using several of his inventions. When Kopi starts running towards a busy street, Yor rips off a large chunk of Franky's exoskeleton suit and throws it in front of Kopi. The cat stops in its tracks, allowing Yor to capture him.

After helping Franky, Yor returns to work in a good mood. Her co-workers see this and ask if Loid bought her something nice. When Yor denies it, they get annoyed at her for having such a nice time. Sharon sarcastically suggests that Yor is probably happy now that she is somewhat normal. Yor is excited at being called normal, relieved that it will help maintain her cover. Director Matthew McMahon arrives to tell Yor that a phone call is waiting for her and privately says that the call is from her "special contact." Yor answers the phone, and the Thorn Princess has a new client.

The Thorn Princess and McMahon arrive at a garden maintained by the Shopkeeper. While Yor takes a moment to smell the flowers, the Shopkeeper decides to test her instincts. After successfully dodging the attack, the Shopkeeper is satisfied and briefs her on her latest assignment, protecting Olka Gretcher and her son aboard the cruise ship, Princess Lorelei. After explaining the background and what it entails, Thorn Princess hesitates to accept the job as she worries about her cover at work and home. However, the Garden has already prepared a cover story that she is there as part of her work. With her mind at rest, the Thorn Princess gladly accepts the assignment.

On her way home, Yor runs into Yuri, who is dozing off on the subway. As they chat, he reminds Yor that he is not a child anymore and can take care of himself. After Yuri leaves, Yor wonders why she is keeping her assassin job. When she arrives home, Anya excitedly parades the tickets to a cruise she won at a raffle. Loid suggests Yor go with Anya as he is busy with work, but after looking at the tickets, Yor reveals she is going on the same boat as part of her work trip. Anya demands to go on the trip, so Loid asks for some time off work.

The big day arrives, and the Forgers make their way to the port. Yor thinks she would enjoy this trip if she did not accept her assignment, but can perhaps do this job as her final mission as the Thorn Princess. At the port, before meeting her colleagues, Yor says farewell to her family, promising to contact them when she can. Inside the ship, Yor's group goes to the first class suite, where they meet with Olka and her companion Zeb, disguised as Shaty and Furseal Grey. While the rest of the group tours the ship, Yor stays behind with Olka. After inspecting the room for entry and escape route, Yor talks with Olka and learns of her history and desire to live a quiet life. Olka then requests that she and her son go outside for a short moment, and Yor accepts.

As they prepare to leave, Yor nervously looks outside the door. When Olka questions her actions, Yor explains her circumstances and family, who are also aboard the ship. Olka asks if they are for her cover identity, and Yor affirms it with a tender look on her face. Olka then lends some clothes to Yor as a disguise. When they go outside for fresh air, Olka is wistful about leaving her old life behind. Before they head back, Yor pledges to give it her all and finish the job for Olka and her son. Her words move Olka, who reveals her son's name, Gram. Unbeknownst to them, their conversation got captured by a listening bug, which an informant uses to locate Olka's room.

In the evening, the group has dinner at a fancy restaurant. Yor is too nervous to taste anything, but McMahon reminds her to relax. Afterward, Yor escorts Olka to her room while the men go out for drinks. In the room, Olka notes how there has not been any sign of trouble the entire day, but Yor warns her that they must keep their guard up as they have no idea where the enemy is or their plan. She predicts that the enemy will try attacking at the last possible minute, which will be the next day. Olka then asks Yor if she will see her family after she completes her mission, and Yor considers it. They then hear a knock on the door, and Yor wonders if it is McMahon.

Yor looks through the peephole and sees a waiter with room service. Yor is relieved, but Olka says she did not order anything. Yor quickly pushes Olka and Gram to safety, dodging the bullets fired through the door. While McMahon arrives to distract the assassin, Yor hurls her weapon through the door and pins the man’s head to the wall. After retrieving the body, McMahon reveals that their schedule got leaked and that there are multiple enemies aboard the ship. He directs Yor to vacant rooms in the second-class suite and to take the others with her. He also warns her that if there is a public incident on the ship, it might turn back before the rendezvous. After receiving masks to disguise themselves, Yor, Olka, Zeb, and Gram leave the room and head to a masquerade ball in the second deck lounge.

On their way to the ball, Yor notices they have been followed. Yor plans to lose their pursuer before their destination is known, blend into a crowd at the lounge, and try causing a disturbance. Upon arriving at the ball, Yor senses the enemy’s bloodlust. As the group makes their way through the crowd, Yor covertly defends them from attackers. After exiting the lounge, they go through the shopping promenade to the second-class area.

At the promenade, the group confronts Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby. As their battle draws in a crowd, Yor spots Anya among them and is horrified. However, Anya pretends not to recognize her and convinces the onlookers that the fight is a circus performance. When Barnaby gets distracted by the crowd, Yor charges at him. Barnaby tries attacking her, but she weaves through the attacks as she closes the distance. Yor quickly ties him up in his chains and immobilizes him by striking his pressure points. After finishing her 'performance,' Yor exits with an unconscious Barnaby and returns to Olka and Zeb after ditching him in a seat.

In their new room, Yor assures the group that the room is secure and they have everything they need to hole up safely until the rendezvous. McMahon arrives and chastises Yor for forgetting their secret knock earlier. He orders Yor to stay at the door while he patrols the floor to reduce the enemy's numbers as much as possible. Before leaving, he warns Yor not to drop her guard and to focus on the job. While the group rests, Yor remembers that she did not reach out to Loid and Anya and imagines herself with them. She realizes that in her fight with Barnaby, she was dragging her feet out of fear of losing her cover or abandoning the family. Yor reminds herself to keep her priorities straight, but as she thinks about Yuri, Loid, and Anya, she asks herself what she is doing here.

The group remains in the room until the evening when they receive a message from McMahon. He informs them that he got the all-ready signal from the ship at the rendezvous. While it is in four hours, Yor tells the group to prepare and change into their disguises. After seeing that the coast is clear, the group heads out. Heading to Storage Area 3, Yor explains their plan to reach the rendezvous, hoping to proceed during the fireworks show. Realizing all the passages to the ship's bow are guarded, Yor takes everyone up to the deck. There, they are startled by the sudden boom from the fireworks show. Amidst the noise, a large group of assassins reveals themselves, and Yor prepares to fight.

Surrounded, Yor realizes that there is no escape for them. McMahon arrives, killing the sniper, and shoots down other assassins before blowing the lock of a hatch, where Olka, Gram, and Zeb hide. After they make it inside, Yor kicks a crate over the hatch, securing it. When an assassin tries blowing up the hatch, Yor kicks him off the ship, and her rampage begins. McMahon comes down to assist Yor, telling her not to leave anyone alive. With the fireworks in the background, Yor swiftly and brutally tears through the assassins while McMahon follows close behind, cleaning up after her. After killing an assassin through an endless barrage of attacks, Yor complains that she jammed a finger, leaving the remaining assassins dumbfounded while McMahon cleans up the mess.

While Yor and McMahon clean up, the acting leader of the assassins reveals himself. Yor proposes they back down and walks away, which the leader turns down. While McMahon and the Assassin Leader argue, the Swordsman suddenly appears and strikes them, which Yor and McMahon barely dodge. After the Swordsman incapacitates McMahon, Yor is left to fend for herself and the others. She trades attacks with the assassin, but her grip loosens, losing her weapon.

As they battle, Yor starts hesitating, her thoughts filled about her family. Sensing this, the Swordsman tells Ypr to withdraw if she fears death. Yor refuses, saying she will not let them lay a hand on Olka or the others. The Assassin Leader tries making a business proposition for Yor, saying that if she stands aside, she will have a share of the bounty. Yor turns down the offer, saying she is not like them. While she fights, Yor wonders why she is doing her job. Distracted by her thoughts, Yor accidentally slips up and is knocked back to a wall. Lightheaded and at the mercy of the Swordsman, Yor flashes back to Yuri, who she acknowledges as having grown up and independent of her support. Yor decides to stop here, not needing her cover anymore. But when the Assassin Leader tries to leave to finish Olka and the others, Yor stops him. Recalling Olka's desire to live a quiet life, Yor finally remembers why she became and stayed as an assassin: the desire to protect Yuri's carefree life. She realizes this desire is still the same, even more with her new family in the Forgers.

Reinvigorated, Yor holds the sword pointed at her and breaks it, surprising the Swordsman, who slashes her chest. Yor says if she must live a life that could end at any moment or must leave the Forger Family, she believes Loid would understand and respect her decision, flashing back to the night he expressed his admiration for her dedication to her work. With new resolve, Yor says she will not give up thisfight.

Yor resumes her fight with the Swordsman, and she starts gaining the upper hand. However, she cannot finish him off as she does not have the proper reach. Hearing gunshots behind her, Yor looks to the side and spots her weapon, lodged in an assassin's behind. Yor retrieves it, and she and the Swordsman charge at each other for one final strike. Yor defeats him, winning the battle and relieved that it is finally over. Getting up, Yor picks up her weapon and wonders how she found it the way she did. Not thinking much of it, she goes to the hatch to retrieve Olka's group.

As they approach the rendezvous, Yor and McMahon prepare the inflatable boat for Olka and the others. Yor wishes Olka a great life on the other side and receives a hug from her as thanks for everything. Despite Yor’s protests because of her dirty hands, Olka has her hug Gram as she says those hands are the reason he has a future. Yor appreciates the gesture and warmly hugs the child. Olka tells Yor that she will pray for her and her family to find peace and happiness. After Olka's departure, McMahon sees Yor getting sentimental and snaps her out of her daze. He then tells her that Loid and Anya requested to meet her the next day. McMahon says he will be on the lookout for any more killers and tells her to do as her family asks as a reward for completing her mission.

After the ship reaches the resort island, Yor waits for Loid and Anya. After Loid notices the swelling on her face, she says she stepped in to stop a quarrel between their prospect and his wife. With the family together again, they decide to spend their day having all sorts of fun at the resort. At a petting zoo, Loid and Yor watch Anya play with the sheep, and Yor says she feels at peace, which she wishes could go on forever, thinking about her decision to continue her job as an assassin.

Her thoughts are interrupted by Anya, who asks to go snorkeling. Fearing that they might see her chest wound if she wears a swimsuit, Yor starts thinking of an excuse. However, she changes her mind after seeing full-body diving suits available for rental. While snorkeling, the family admires the view of ocean life. When they try surfing, Yor gives Anya a strong push on her surfboard that sends her speeding across the water and flings her off the waves. Loid surfs to Anya and catches her. While Yor frantically apologizes, Anya asks to go again, but Loid refuses.

On their way back to the ship, Yor falls asleep on Loid's shoulder, tired from fighting for so long without rest. Anya falls asleep shortly after, forcing Loid to carry them both, to his embarrassment. The family returns home and is welcome by Bond and Franky. The family then sits together while having some drinks and snacks. Later, while Loid is out for work, Yor and Anya are fast asleep, tired from the trip.

At the Forger Residence, Yuri makes his visit and shouts for joy over reuniting with his sister, who gifts him a souvenir. After a gloomy Anya returns home and sits in the living room with everyone, she tells them how she lied about her trip to her classmates. After Loid and Yuri tell Anya that lying is wrong, Yor agrees, telling Anya to be comfortable with herself and will get along better with everyone if she is honest. The room falls silent, and Anya says she will try to stop lying, as being a liar seems pretty rough.

WISE Arc
Yor arrives home after walking Bond and getting groceries, and greets Becky, who came over for a playdate. Yor seats Becky beside Loid and serves them black tea. When Becky asks if Loid was playing with her when he asked about her family, Loid spits out his drink. He worries that Yor might get the wrong idea, but Yor does not. Becky then leans on Loid's arm, pretending to be tipsy after drinking the tea. Yor is distraught, believing she somehow poured alcohol into Becky's tea and quickly carries her to a hospital, despite Loid’s protests. In her rush, Yor sees an oncoming car and tosses Becky in the air before taking a hit from the car and doing a roll to catch Becky. Yor continues to rush to the hospital, but Becky stops her, and reveals that she lied about being drunk to get Loid to go out with her, apologizing to Yor.

Yor is not upset by this and is relieved that Becky is alright. She then says it makes her happy that Loid is beloved by so many people and proud of her husband. Yor apologizes for jumping to conclusions and dragging Becky to a nearby park, wondering aloud how Loid can put up with her. When Becky asks why Loid chose Yor to be his wife, she thinks back to her, albeit hazy memory of the night Loid told her that she was strong, which Becky takes at face value. Shortly after, Loid and Anya catch up with them. Seeing a strongman game, Becky tries to prove her strength to Loid but falls under the hammer's weight. Yor mistakenly assumes that Becky wants to win the grand prize for Loid and single-handedly wrecks the game with her strength, rendering everyone speechless. Defeated, Becky asks Yor to train her, and when they return home, she teaches Becky how to punch. Martha, who arrives to pick up Becky, is confused at the sight of Yor training Becky.

At the Forger home, Anya tells Loid that Damian will be giving her cake one day. Loid and Yor are happy to hear that they are becoming friends, but Loid faints after seeing the Tonitrus Bolt on Anya, to Yor and Anya's shock. After laying Loid down on the sofa, Yor and Anya leave him to rest while sitting by his side. When Loid wakes up, Yor is relieved that he is awake, telling him how he was tossing and turning while he slept. Afterwards, Bond’s stomach starts grumbling, so Loid prepares the family some hot soup for dinner as they eat together.

TBD Arc
When Anya returns from school, Loid and Yor wobble to the kitchen to prepare dinner, both worn out from their secret jobs. Anya asks Loid to study with her, but he jumps to the conclusion she got another Tonitrus and starts to fall over with Yor catching him.

Before Yor heads out shopping, she asks Anya if there is anything she wants. Anya asks for some tea cakes Henry Henderson gave her, but she cannot remember the name, so Yor promises to find them, along with an "amazing cake." On her way out, Yor thinks about how nice it is that Anya and Damian are getting along and how bad she felt after Anya had punched him. Exiting the building, Yor runs into the neighborhood ladies. Thinking that the women should know the best bakeries in the city, she attempts to ask them but quickly stops herself and runs away, fearing that a normal mother should already know and she would be reported to the SSS. In the city, Yor starts to get discouraged at being unable to act normal, but she motivates herself to keep working for the sake of her work. She decides to go to a department store, believing they would have the best cakes.

While Yor nervously walks around the store, an employee tries selling her some eyeliner for some "piercing eyes," but she gets intimidated and asks where the bakery is. After getting directions, Yor heads down to the next floor. When she sees a woman holding a large number of boxes fall down the stairs, Yor swiftly catches the woman, as well as the boxes. Amazed by Yor’s movements and skills, the woman asks Yor to join her for something, offering her the cakes in the boxes as a token of her gratitude. After the woman and her butler insist, Yor is brought to a sports hall and dressed up in a gym uniform, where it is revealed that the woman, named Melinda, brought in Yor as a ringer for her women’s volleyball team.

The ladies are part of an organization called the Lady’s Patriot Society, where they partake in all sorts of community activities, including this all-mothers volleyball game. Yor is asked to help the team win and agrees after hearing that playing volleyball is normal. After revealing that she has no experience playing volleyball, Yor is given a rundown of the rules by Melinda after introducing herself to the group. However, Yor’s lack of experience playing with a team causes her to try playing the game by herself and ends up breaking a few rules. Melinda tells Yor to relax and enjoy herself, as she just wants to have some fun together, and Yor agrees. The game continues with Yor properly playing with the team and having fun, but not without Yor forgetting to hold back a few times.

After the game, the mothers go out to have tea and cakes together and talk about how much fun they had, despite losing the game. After Yor is asked about her family, she admits that as a mother and wife, there are many times when she does not know what she should do. The mothers empathize with her, which is why they get together to talk to each other. Melinda hopes Yor will come over again to join them for other activities, and Yor promises that she will, saying there is so much that she wants to learn from them and will not waste this opportunity. Consequently, another mother brings up how her son got another Tonitrus Bolt. Surprised, Yor reveals that her daughter also goes to Eden Academy and is in first grade. Melinda realizes who Yor is and formally introduces herself as Melinda Desmond.

Upon realizing who Melinda is, Yor immediately apologizes for Anya. Melinda brushes it off, but when Yor insists, she repeats herself in a more serious manner. The mothers explain that the Desmonds have a "hands-off" parenting philosophy. They say Yor is lucky to be invited by Melinda to a get-together, as most of them were friends with Melinda before she became First Lady. Yor is unaware of the title’s meaning, while Melinda says that she thought they could become friends without preconceptions about her political position. She hopes that Yor will, if possible, come over again and become friends with her. Afterwards, Melinda wraps up the conversation and gives Yor a ride home. In the car, Melinda brings up Damian, saying that she heard from her house staff that he is enjoying Eden Academy and suggests that he may have been getting along with Anya lately. Yor agrees, saying that Anya brings him up all the time and seems happy when she does. Melinda mutters that she hopes they can get along while making a strange face.

At the Forger home, Yor tells Loid of her meeting with Melinda. She learns that Melinda is the wife of the former prime minister and tells Loid that despite the strange air about her, she was nice. Yor asks Loid if it would be okay if she attended another one of their get-togethers, saying she could better understand what is normal by learning parenting from them. Loid says it is a great idea to join them, saying it could help with their cover outside the home. He says that having kindred spirits to talk to is important so she should take all the things she has not been able to share and go talk and have fun with her new friends, as that kind of "normal" is something she deserves. He adds that joining them could lower her chances of being reported. Yor is convinced and decides to join the Lady's Patriot Society.

At night, Yor sits on her bed and contemplates the notion of having friends. She suddenly remembers that if Melinda is an important person, she should probably inform the Shopkeeper of her decision. The next day, Yor meets with the Shopkeeper, who says he has no problem with it. Yor is relieved, but the Shopkeeper mentions that Melinda is a conservative and would not recommend befriending her if "anything" were to happen to her. He tells her to at least watch herself so Loid does not start thinking she has one-sided political beliefs. Yor tells him that it should not be a problem, mentioning Loid's meeting with Donovan, and his interest in the National Unity Party, piquing Shopkeeper’s attention.

During a mission, Yor hits Steel-Gut Gullickson with a powerful palm strike, launching him off the pier. The following day, Yor’s hands have swollen. She tells her family that a fire door slammed on her hands at work, and if she rests them all day, they might get better. Shortly after, Yuri bursts in to have fun with Yor on his free day. He sees her injured wrists and immediately blames Loid. Yor tries holding him back but strains her wrists. Yuri then tells Loid to do the cooking in Yor’s stead, something Loid usually does anyway.

Loid and Yor head to the kitchen to start cooking. Yor apologizes for always having Loid cook, but he says it is okay. Yor tells Loid that he always takes such good care of her, and she cannot thank him enough for his kindness. Wanting Yor’s praise as well, Yuri decides to take over the cooking.

Because Yor cannot hold a fork, Yuri offers to feed her his dish. After eating, a nervous look on her face grows. In her thoughts, Yor says Yuri’s food is not as good as she remembers. She wonders if he has lost his touch or if her tastes have grown more refined from eating Loid’s cooking. An upset Yuri tells Loid to feed Yor one of his dishes. Yor says she can feed herself, but Yuri insists, saying it will prove Loid’s love for her. Loid tries feeding Yor, and she starts blushing. Yuri yells at Loid not to feed her in front of him and tells Anya to do it. After being fed, Anya asks Yor if the food is good, and she says it is delicious.

A defeated Yuri pushes for another battle with Loid: cleaning the dishes. Yor thanks the two for helping tidy up and, happy to hear her praise, Yuri drops some of the dishes. Afterwards, the adults look at the results and see that Loid has the most cleaned dishes, whereas Yuri’s pile is all broken. Yuri challenges Loid to several more chore battles, and Loid beats Yuri in all of them. Yor says they have used up all of their detergent and garbage bags. Yuri declares a final bout with Loid, which will see who can buy the best stuff the fastest and for the least money. Yor says that is enough, but Yuri tells her to make a list of everything she needs. After obtaining the list, Yuri dashes off. Loid also takes his leave, and Yor sees him off.

When Yuri returns with the goods, Yor and Loid, who had already returned, greet him. Yuri drops to the ground in defeat, spilling items from his bag. Yor walks over and spots a package of whistle candy, one of their childhood snacks. The siblings recall when they would go into the mountains, and whistle the candies to scare the bears away. Yor cannot believe Yuri found the candies after all these years, and she thanks him. Loid props up Yuri, saying that Yuri knows Yor better than he does. Yuri eats up the compliment and declares this his victory before leaving. Yor and Loid stare silently for a moment, and Yor apologizes for Yuri’s antics.
