Summary
While preparing breakfast, Loid recalls that he successfully managed to get Anya in Eden Academy. As it won't be easy to make her an Imperial Scholar, he made Plan B, but it failed as Anya punched Damian. However, Loid decides to not yet give up. Yor and Anya join him for breakfast. Both feel bad about what happened yesterday, but Loid cheers them up. They send Anya to school and Loid tells her to apologize to Damian.

Arriving at Eden, Anya sees Becky arriving in a car and realizes she is rich. Becky learns that Anya came with the school bus and suggest she could make her driver pick her as well. They see Damian and his friends and sparks fly. Anya attempts to apologize, but Becky pulls her, saying that class is starting soon. Meanwhile, Loid was worried and infiltrated Eden to spy on Anya, and gets annoyed at Becky. He recalls that Blackbell and Desmond Group are business partners, and wonders if Becky has orders to stop their mission, but in the end decides that shouldn't be possible.

In the classroom, most of the kids are talking about Anya and stand away, afraid of what she did. Meanwhile Damian looks at Anya, recalling that no one ever defied him and that even his brother had never hit him. During the first class, the teacher teaches them math, but Anya falls asleep. The teacher notices, but doesn't have the courage to wake her and feels she indeed is a delinquent. As it ends, Becky wakes Anya as next is science class. Anya wonders about Damian, but Becky tells her he left already. Anya heads out looking to apologize to Damian, stating that the peace depends on it and Becky thinks that she means her school life peace is in danger as its unknown what Damian may decide to do. Becky hugs her, stating that she will protect her. Using her mind reading ability, Anya hears Loid's voice and realizes he is disguised as a janitor. Next, Anya has science class outside. Loid uses a mirror to reflect light and show Anya a message that today is a good day to apologize, making Anya think its message from God. Next up is language class. The kids read from the book, where the character John in the end doesn't apologize, but in Anya's book, its corrected and John apologizes.

Heading towards the cafeteria during lunchtime, Anya sees the bushes being cut to spell "sorry", and then a student with "sorry" sign on his back. At the cafeteria, the students are told they can order anything and Anya orders omelet rice, which ends up having "sorry" written with the ketchup. Anya sees Damian and wants to go to apologize, but Becky stops her. Loid then decide he needs to get Becky away from Anya, and uses the school's announcement system to call Becky to the student hall in Tower A. Anya uses that chance and goes to apologize to Damian, who has some weird feeling standing in front of her and is unable to talk. His friends start to wonder what insult he will come up with and guess in their head, but as Anya can read their mind, she feels offended and starts crying and apologizes. That moves Damian, who seemingly falls for her and his face turns red. Damian states its because he is angry, but starts to realize that's not the case. Not wanting to believe it, he runs away, stating he will never forgive her. Loid saw it all and thinks that he rejected completely her apology and Plan B is done for.

At home, Loid decides to proceed with the original plan and improve Anya's academics. He gives her a math problem and tells her she won't watch her favorite show if she doesn't solve it. Anya attempts to read his mind, but as he is thinking about other things, she gets overwhelmed. Anya then decides to ask Yor for help and read her mind, but Yor makes division analogy with cutting bodies to pieces and then gets distracted. That shocks Anya, who then runs in her run, stating she doesn't want to study. Loid states that she needs to study to become an Imperial Scholar. Yor wonders if that is what Anya wants and states that she would like Anya to enjoy going to school. Loid agrees, noting that Anya is young and probably doesn't worry about grades. They make some hot cocoa, but Anya still refuses to get out. Loid guesses that due to his job, Yor's brother must had brilliant academic record and wonders if Yor helped him with homework, whoever, Yor states that Yuri was more capable child than she was and he probably taught her more. Every time they studied together, he was teaching her something and it seems that he enjoyed it. Loid realizes that his motivation was likely earning her praise and Yor wonders if they can do the same with Anya. Loid doesn't think he has been acting as ideal father, but Yor reminds him that Anya thinks otherwise. He tells Yor that she is the mother and he would love if she can help out with the homework too.

Loid decides to understand Anya better. He goes to her room and tells her that her spy show is starting and she is free to watch it. As he doesn't get a reply, he enters the room and sees Anya sleeping over her textbooks while have been trying to study herself. He moves her to her bed and decides to record her show.

Dominic meets Yuri Briar, who asks him about the party the other day and the guy his sister went with. Dominic is surprised he haven't met him and congratulates him, telling him that his sister is married, which leaves Yuri in shock.
