Summary[]

The Forgers' Break and Belle[]

Yor tells Loid that she likes the news with a peaceful world — Yor's words prompt Loid to take the family on an outing

Eden Academy goes on an end-of-term break, making Anya lazy and displeasing Loid, who is quick to make her study. The TV suddenly starts showing news about Belle, a Nordic seal that was first spotted in the Eber River. Belle's appearance has attracted the citizens to come to the river to look at her, and Anya also lights up with the same desire. However, Loid remains adamant against it in front of Anya's requests and tantrums. He tries changing the channels and is sick that they are all covering the seal, but when Yor kindly tells him that such news shows how peaceful the world is, he softens up and decides to take the family to see Belle.

At the river, the Forgers briefly reunite with Becky, Martha, and Wiesel, and they agree to wait for Belle together. However, as time passes, the seal does not appear. Becky becomes irritated and threatens to send a submarine after her but gets held back by Martha, after which they decide to leave. Now left to wait by themselves, Loid and Yor sit on the grass to rest while Anya and Bond run to the riverbank to play, where they find Belle nearby.

Loid and Yor find the two shortly after and also notice the seal, who keeps her distance from the Forgers. Reading her thoughts, Anya notices that Belle is afraid of them, so the family sits quietly and leaves her be. Gradually, Belle gets used to the presence of the Forgers, demonstrating to them the inherent cuteness and laziness of seals. The Forgers watch her, sharing their admiration and reasoning about how Belle ended up on the river alone. When Yor decides to point Belle the way to the ocean, the seal surprises the family with her intelligence, leaving them a thank-you crawfish before swimming away in the indicated direction. Belle's act makes Loid remember his past conversation with Sylvia about Project Apple, but his thoughts do not reach the end after he watches Bond get his nose pinched by the crawfish. Having received their desired meeting with Belle, the Forgers return home.^[1]

Damian's Vacation[]

Emile, Damian, and Ewen see a Geschocran — The boys see a Geschocran

Meanwhile, Damian is spending his break studying in the National Library, much to the annoyance of his friends, Ewen and Emile. While he tries to read up more on History, he is informed that a former Eden student once earned a Stella Star while making a discovery on an archaeological trip. This story inspires Damian to go a forest on an archaeological trip of his own, followed by his friends as well as his and their butlers. Without much progress, Damian wants to give up after running into various wildlife. However, he then stumbles into a giant plant known as a "Geschocran," also known as a "Witch's Crib." It is not Stella-worthy, but it is still a rare sight, so the three boys document the flower and head home.

On the way back, Damian's butler, Jeeves, teases Damian about his reluctances to go home as well as his dance with Anya during the end-of-term gala.^[2]
