Synopsis[]
In an era in which the nations of the world were waging a fierce war of information just out of sight...
Loid Forger, codenamed "Twilight," a talented intelligence agent in the WISE division of Westalian Intelligence, is on his usual mission when he receives an order to change missions. However, the new man chosen for Operation Strix is incompetent.
Meanwhile, a cooking competition is being held at Eden Academy, with the winner rumored to be awarded a Stella Star. To show progress in Operation Strix and negotiate with WISE to continue the mission, and ultimately to protect world peace, Loid suggests to Anya that she make the "meremere," a traditional pastry from the Frigis region and a favorite of the principal, who is also the head judge of the competition. Thus, the Forgers decide to take a family trip to Frigis to taste the real thing. On the other hand, Yor witnesses an exchange between Loid and a mysterious woman before their departure, resulting in some uneasiness about their temporary relationship during the trip.
During the trip, Anya discovers a key, and through Bond's visions, locates a suitcase on the train. Inside, for some reason, there is a single chocolate. While wondering, the owners of the suitcase return, and in her surprise, Anya accidentally swallows the chocolate. However, the chocolate hides a serious secret that could threaten world peace!
And just like that, a series of happenings occur on the journey!
The fate of the world has once again been entrusted to this temporary family.[2]
Plot[]
Loid and Yor return home from their secret jobs
While Loid is undergoing an infiltration mission at a masquerade to obtain some information, Yor completes an assassination at a warehouse. The two return home at the same time to Anya and Bond after completing their respective jobs, and Anya gets to hear the exciting things her parents did today after reading their thoughts. Yor suggests making dinner for the night, but after seeing herself and Loid suffering after eating it through Bond's vision of the future, Anya requests Loid's peanut butter pizza from last night's dinner instead.
The next day at Eden Academy, Henry Henderson announces an upcoming cooking class next Monday, where the students must make a dessert. He also says that the principal will be judging their desserts and that the previous winner won a Stella Star. This catches Anya's attention due to her wish to become an Imperial Scholar. Observing Anya's class from afar, Loid also learns about the competition and, knowing that the Imperial Scholars are a way to get close to his target Donovan Desmond, decides to prepare Anya for the sake of progressing Operation Strix on the weekend.
Loid and Sylvia discuss his replacement for Operation Strix
Loid is suddenly called to WISE Safe House D to meet with Sylvia, who has a new infiltration mission for him. After quickly reading its details, Loid declines it to prioritize the upcoming competition. However, Sylvia informs him that he will be replaced by Major Depple of Westalis's Military Intelligence. Loid believes that Depple will be an incompetent fit for the mission, and while Sylvia agrees, she explains that Depple is being backed by a powerful higher-up in Westalis's assembly. However, she tells Loid that if he can come up with any progress in Strix, they can negotiate against it.
Loid catches Fiona's hat, though the position causes a nearby Yor to misinterpret the scene
Upon leaving the photo booth to the safe house, Loid encounters Fiona, and the two discuss Operation Strix. A gust of wind causes Fiona's hat to fly off her head, and Loid reaches over her to catch it. Across the street from them is Berlint City Hall, where Yor is on the roof with Camilla, Millie, and Sharon to raise the flags. Yor spots Loid but does not recognize Fiona, and she believes the two are kissing from her position. Coincidentally, her co-workers happen to be talking about cheating, and Camilla tells Yor the three signs of cheating: taking more business trips, a change of clothing taste, and suddenly giving gifts.
The meremere, the Forgers' target dessert for Anya's cooking competition
At home, Loid contemplates the end of the Forger family if he is pulled from Strix while Yor worries that he plans to replace her with the woman she saw with him. Anya returns home and informs her parents of the cooking competition. Loid suggests making the meremere, knowing that it is the favorite food of the principal and that he especially likes the one from his homeland of Frigis. To appeal to the principal and ultimately earn Anya a Stella for Strix's progress, Loid suggests that the family take a trip to Frigis on the weekend. Loid invites Yor to come along, not disclosing the detail that the restaurant that serves the meremere they are looking for has a strict family-only policy. On the other hand, Yor worries that Loid is actually cheating on her, thinking back to Camilla's first sign of cheating.
The Forgers travel to Frigis
After packing their things, the Forgers take the train to Frigis, bringing Bond along. Anya tries to have fun during the ride, but Loid still gets her to study. Anya goes to the bathroom to escape studying and finds a key on the sink. As she questions it, Bond suddenly has a future vision. In it, he and Anya go to the luggage car, where she opens a suitcase with the key and opens a box, as well as two men mentioning that there is a treasure inside. Excited and curious about this treasure, Anya decides to look for it.
Back at the Forgers' train car, Loid and Yor discuss Anya's penmanship, which Yor mentions working on with her. Loid compliments Yor's motherly side, which gets her flustered and confused about Loid's cheating. She is further flustered when she sees a couple kissing outside their cabin and twitches her lips. Loid notices her fidgeting and asks if something is wrong, to which Yor claims that her lipstick is itchy, then excuses herself to look for Anya, who has been gone for a while. Outside, Yor calms herself down and reminds herself that she and Loid are only a couple for appearances.
Anya fails to catch the chocolate and accidentally eats it
Anya reaches the luggage car, where she finds the suitcase from Bond's vision. Bond tries to stop her from opening it, making Anya consider the morality of going through other people's belongings. However, she justifies doing this for world peace after remembering that the two men in the vision said the treasure is from the Republic. Opening the suitcase, Anya is disappointed to find a single piece of chocolate inside. Suddenly, the two men from Bond's vision enter the car, which startles Anya and causes her to drop the chocolate. Anya fails to catch it and ends up accidentally swallowing it.
Domitri and Luca beaten by Yor
After returning the luggage to its place, Anya and Bond quickly hide as the two men, Domitri and Luca, members of the Ostanian military, arrive at the scene. Domitri and Luca are shocked that the chocolate has been stolen and declare to kill its thief. This scares Anya, who accidentally makes a noise and alerts the men. Anya and Bond escape the car but find that the door to the next one has been locked by Domitri. The two men realize that Anya ate the chocolate and prepare to kill her. Anya calls out for Yor, who arrives and tears open the door just before the duo can do anything to her. Though the men plan to take them both out, Anya accuses them of being chocolate thieves planning to do something bad to her, prompting Yor to beat them up.
The Forgers eat at Rubble and Bonds
The Forgers finally arrive at Frigis, and Loid hurries them to the local restaurant Rubble and Bonds. At the same time, the beaten Domitri and Luca exit another train car and say they need to contact their colonel. At Rubble and Bonds, the Forgers enjoy Frigis's cuisine and order the meremere. Bond is left outside but is treated to a meal by the waitress. While they eat, Yor notices Loid's new turtleneck, which furthers her belief in Camilla's three signs. The Forgers talk with the head chef, who shares his experiences from the war that led him to make the restaurant, and Loid empathizes with him while recalling his past.
Yuri is restrained from going to Frigis
Meanwhile, at the SSS headquarters in Berlint, Yuri gets word of the Military Intelligence Special Reconnaissance Regiment in Frigis and declares to go there to ensure Yor's safety. However, he is prevented from going by his captain and his fellow agents. Back at the restaurant, the Forgers receive the last slice of the meremere. Just as this happens, Colonel Snidel and his regiment soldiers arrive at the restaurant, where he takes a seat for himself and makes an order. Despite the restaurant's family-only policy, Snidel threatens to shut down the restaurant if they do not obey him.
Loid competes with Snidel for the meremere
Snidel orders the meremere, and when he hears that they have run out, he notices the Forgers' untouched slice and takes it. Loid politely confronts Snidel to ask for the dish back so Anya can have it. Recognizing Loid as a fellow food connoisseur, Snidel challenges him to a game with the meremere as the reward. In this competition, the two must specifically identify the types of sugar in three different cakes, and if Loid gets the same answer, the meremere will be returned. Loid agrees to play, confident that he will win due to his past experience as a chef at a 3-star restaurant. Loid correctly identifies the sugar types, but to everyone's surprise, Snidel got the same answer and specified the exact number of grams used, thus making him the winner. Yor and Anya are shocked by Loid's defeat while he remains silent.
Loid buys lipstick for Yor
After Snidel and his soldiers leave, Loid says they can return to the restaurant tomorrow for more meremere, but the chef informs them that they do not have the ingredients to make the dish until Monday, the day of Anya's competition. The chef refuses to give the Forgers the recipe for the dish but agrees to cook it again when Yor suggests getting him the ingredients. The Forgers head out to Frigis's city market to obtain all the ingredients for the meremere. After memorizing the list, Loid quickly purchases all the ingredients they can find at the market, impressing Anya and Yor. Their shopping is briefly interrupted by some women who offer Loid lipstick for Yor. Loid purchases one as a gift for Yor, recalling her saying she had itchy lipstick. However, he unknowingly fulfills all of Camilla's signs of cheating, making a depressed Yor drag herself away to the bathroom.
Loid wins the shooting gallery
Searching for a bottle of orange syrup, Loid and Anya find a shooting gallery booth with the ingredient placed as one of the prizes. Anya tries her hand at the game but fails. The old booth owner's thoughts reveal that the game is rigged, having placed metal brackets hidden behind the prizes. Loid quickly catches on to the scam and decides to play. Ricocheting his shot on many prizes, including the orange syrup, to fall over, Loid exposes the owner's scam and convinces him to run a more honest business. With the orange syrup obtained, Loid prepares to find the final ingredient but notices that Anya is missing, only to find her happily riding a mini train.
Loid reunites with Yor, and the two get drinks at a wine and coffee booth. Determined to confirm if Loid is cheating on her, Yor begins drinking wine and gets herself drunk to be able to confront him about it. In her drunkenness, Yor throws Loid to the ground and asks him what he thinks about her before passing out. Yor is taken to a bench to rest, where she later wakes up sober and worries that Loid will want to divorce her. Fearing a divorce after hearing about it from Becky, Anya gets the idea to go to a Ferris wheel where Loid and Yor can "flirt."
Loid reminds Yor of their vows
At the Ferris wheel, Anya pushes Loid and Yor into the gondola while she and Bond remain outside. Inside, Loid asks Yor what has been going on with her, and she confesses to seeing him with the mystery woman the other day, believing she is his girlfriend. Loid realizes what she is talking about and clears up the situation, claiming that Fiona was simply a stranger asking for directions. Yor is embarrassed by the misunderstanding and worries about her role as a mother and wife. Loid takes her hand and reminds her of their vows together. Yor gets flustered as Loid gets closer and slaps him so hard that he flies out of the gondola. Loid makes a safe and graceful landing, but he gains a large lump on his cheek. As the family gathers outside, the flustered Loid and Yor deny Anya's claims that they were fighting or "aggressively flirting." As the family realizes it has gotten late, Loid tells Yor and Anya to rest at the hotel while he finds the last ingredient they need: cherry liqueur. As the drink is rare and rarely on the market, Loid decides he must get it through illegal means, which is why he must go alone.
Sylvia discusses Snidel and the microfilm with her agents
Elsewhere, Snidel arrives at a hangar holding the large battle airship Enormity. With their preparations complete, Snidel readies for his plan for war with Westalis and to take off for the Republic of Albo. He then shoots one of his officers dead, revealing him as a traitor who leaked their information to WISE. As the soldiers board the ship, Domitri and Luca inform Snidel that their microfilm has been eaten, to the latter's shock. Meanwhile, Sylvia gathers with several WISE agents to inform them of Snidel, whom they have been keeping close tabs on. WISE is also after the microfilm, and Sylvia emphasizes how it could lead to an all-out war between the East and West. As Loid is currently in Frigis, he may be their only hope. Sylvia orders the WISE Agent and another agent to meet with Loid at Frigis and get the microfilm, but Fiona elects herself to the mission and hurries to be on a mission with Twilight while ignoring Sylvia's protests.
Anya upset with Loid's distantness during their trip
Loid scours every place he can think of around Frigis to obtain the cherry liqueur but ultimately comes up with nothing. Out of options, Loid calls Franky to get him the liqueur by tomorrow morning. Franky, who was in the middle of chatting with a pretty girl, is annoyed by the difficult task but begrudgingly accepts. At the hotel, Yor, Bond, and Anya unpack their things. After the three play together, Anya eventually gets tired and falls asleep. Loid arrives at the hotel room, only to announce that he will be leaving again to find the liqueur in another town with a car provided by the hotel. Anya wakes up and is upset that Loid arrived late and is leaving so soon. However, after reading his mind, Anya learns that if she does not get a Stella soon, the Forger family will end, so she demands to go with Loid. He sternly rejects her, making Anya realize that he thinks she will hold him back. Thus, she sadly retreats to the bedroom with Bond.
Yor convinces Loid to find the cherry liqueur together as a family
Before Loid can leave, Yor stops him and asks how many people can fit in the car. Loid answers five, prompting her to ask if they can all go together, reminding him that this is a family trip. In the bedroom, Anya sadly hugs Bond, who suddenly receives a vision. Anya reads his mind and discovers some cherry liqueur at a store in a plaza near the hotel. Anya thinks of telling Loid and Yor but worries about revealing her and Bond's powers and decides to get it herself. Yor relates Anya's happiness to Yuri's whenever they spent time together on birthdays and trips when they were younger. Loid recalls how happy Anya was since they started their vacation and remembers her gratefulness to him after he adopted her. Yor tells Loid that Anya was looking forward to being with him and how lonely it is to be separated from one's family, knowing it from her own experience, then asks again if they could get the liqueur in the next town together. While Loid initially thinks of the possible danger of bringing Anya, he ultimately agrees with Yor.
The disguised Fiona talks to Loid
The two are interrupted by room service, and Loid is surprised to see Fiona behind the door disguised as a hotel staff. Loid excuses himself to talk with Fiona, who fills him in on the situation with the microfilm and Snidel. Back in the room, Yor goes to the bedroom after hearing a sound and finds the window open with Anya and Bond missing. Yor quickly informs Loid of the situation and shows him Anya's scrappily written note she left behind, and the two head out to the city's streets to search for her.
Anya is captured by Domitri and Luca
At the plaza, Anya purchases the cherry liqueur and secures it in her bag. On her way back to the hotel with Bond, the military is searching for her, as Snidel refuses to leave Frigis without the microfilm returned to him. Anya is found by Domitri and Luca and gets captured. Bond tries to protect her and bites Luca's shoulder but is thrown aside while the duo drives off with Anya. As they leave, they knock back a can that hits Bond on his head and renders him unconscious. Shortly after, Loid and Yor find and recover the dog, who had torn off the regiment emblem from Luca's uniform. As Loid realizes Anya's situation, Fiona arrives and urges him to take back the microfilm, prompting him to ask her for a favor.
Anya is taken to Enormity to meet with Snidel, who asks if she has gone to the bathroom since eating the chocolate. Reading his mind, Anya is horrified to learn that the microfilm they need is in the chocolate she ate and that he intends to have her killed after she poops. Anya denies needing to go to the bathroom but quickly admits to lying after Snidel glares at her. Snidel tasks Domitri and Luca with watching her and to inform him when she poops. With the microfilm finally in their possession, the regiment moves on with their war plan as Enormity takes off into the sky. Anya fears for her life and begins her efforts to hold back her poop.
Loid learns that Anya ate the microfilm
Back on the ground, Loid and Yor go to Recky and Brandon's old military aircraft at Frigis's train station, which Loid powers up. Using its radio to listen to the military's communications channel, he overhears Anya and is dismayed to learn that she ate the microfilm. Loid informs Yor that Anya has been detained by the military and asks her to stay behind while he retrieves their daughter. Yor suspects that Domitri and Luca are from the military but does not want to tell Loid she beat them up. As Loid takes off, Yor remembers their promise to go together as a family, so she stows away onto the plane by entering its hatch.
Fiona reacts to hearing Loid's praise
Back at WISE, Sylvia hopes for Loid's success, saying that the fate of the world depends on whoever holds the microfilm. On Enormity, Anya desperately resists the urge to go to the bathroom. She shifts around to try holding it back, which she tells Domitri and Luca is a dance she learned from school. Meanwhile, Fiona infiltrates the Military Intelligence Special Reconnaissance Regiment's air traffic control station at Loid's request and takes out the men there. Communicating with Loid's plane, Fiona informs him of the location of Snidel's airship. Loid compliments her on getting the information so quickly, much to her happiness. Fiona proposes taking over the wife role in Operation Strix, only to realize their communication got cut off.
The Poop God appears before Anya in her hallucination
Anya continues to fight off her toilet urges while Domitri and Luca wait for her to go. She eventually hallucinates meeting the "Poop God," who praises her efforts to hold back and encourages her to relieve herself. Returning to reality, Anya still refuses to poop, much to the duo's disappointment. Luca reports Anya's resistance to Snidel, who orders him to cut open her stomach to retrieve the microfilm. Luca informs Domitri of Snidel's order, which they reluctantly follow. The now frightened Anya is restrained by Domitri while Luca pulls out his knife, and she calls out for her parents.
Loid dodges Enormity's gunfire
Loid flies up to Enormity and contacts them on the radio, requesting an emergency landing on the airship. Snidel ignores the request and demands his soldiers to shoot down the aircraft. Enormity opens fire on the plane with its turrets, but Loid maneuvers through them. Frustrated with the plane's evasion, Snidel orders the use of guided missiles, reasoning to his surprised subordinates that there will be a war anyway. While Loid evades the missiles, Yor is still in the hatch and gets dizzy from Loid's flying. When the plane is struck by bullets, Loid crashes it into Enormity. The crash causes the ship to shake and Domitri to drop Anya. As Anya escapes and runs through the ship's halls, Domitri and Luca quickly chase after her.
Yor causes an explosion inside Enormity
Inside Enormity, Loid exits the cockpit equipped with his bag of spy tools and begins his search for Anya. On the other side of the plane, Yor opens the hatch to find herself on Enormity's exterior. After seeing Loid missing from the cockpit, she decides to find her own way in and begins sprinting across the ship. The soldiers spot Yor, to Snidel's disbelief, and he orders to have her shot down as well. Yor avoids the turrets firing at her, and when a soldier tries to toss a grenade at her, she takes off her coat and throws it at him, causing him to lose his balance and fall backward into the ship with the grenade, which detonates and sets fire to the deck. Leaping into one of the opened turrets, Yor heads into Enormity's hull. Snidel orders the fires to be put out and dispatches Type F, their mysterious mechanical soldier, to handle Yor.
Yor fights Type F
Anya manages to elude Domitri and Luca, after which she finds herself hiding in a bathroom and happily uses the toilet. However, after exiting the bathroom, she is once again caught by the duo. While evading the soldiers, Loid disguises himself as one of the regiment's lieutenants. Yor encounters soldiers trying to put out the flames and asks if they have seen Loid and Anya, but they immediately open fire on her. Yor dodges their attacks and knocks them all out by rolling a fire extinguisher at them. Taking two knives with her, Yor heads further into Enormity. Yor arrives at the ship's fiery helium tank space, where she is attacked by Type F. Yor evades the soldier's rounds of bullets and pins him down, managing to break off the top part of his mask. Yor points her knife at Type F's forehead, but he instead presses against the knife and shatters it. Yor retreats from Type F, who stands back up. The flames burn up his coat and reveal his cyborg body, with both arms holding dangerous firepower.
Domitri and Luca beaten by Loid
Loid learns that Anya is at the bridge with Snidel and makes his way there. At the bridge, Snidel learns that Anya has already pooped but believes that the microfilm may still be in her digestive tract, so he decides to cut her open himself. He then orders Domitri and Luca to search through the sewage tank to find the microfilm on the chance it is there. Snidel has Anya gagged and tied up in the room below, deciding to deal with her after the chaos in the ship is dealt with. On his way to the bridge, Loid crosses paths with Domitri and Luca. Upon recognizing the missing patch on Luca's uniform that Bond tore off, Loid pulls them aside and beats them up.
The captured Anya hears Loid's thoughts above
When Loid enters the command bridge, Anya hears his thoughts and gets his attention by banging her head on the pipes that extend to the bridge. Loid walks over to the hatch near the pipes but gets stopped by Snidel, who exposes him as an imposter and the man he met at the restaurant, revealing that he instantly smelled Loid's "city scent" once he entered the room. Snidel and his men begin firing at Loid, who returns fire and removes his mask after it gets damaged.
Meanwhile, Yor continues her fight with Type F, dodging his vast array of firepower in his arms. Equipping herself with a nearby fire axe, Yor runs to Type F and grabs his gatling arm, making him shoot a hole into the platform. She then kicks it open, causing the cyborg to fall many floors down and crash. Yor drops down in a spinning motion with her axe to make a finishing blow, only to discover large rounds of ammunition inside his chest.
Loid gets the upper hand against Snidel
Back on the bridge, Snidel decides to use a poison gas grenade he has been developing to kill Loid. After he and his men don gas masks, Snidel tosses the grenade at Loid. Hearing the plan with her telepathy, Anya manages to break free from her restraints and faceplant into a console in front of her, hitting buttons that open the windows and releasing the gas as it detonates. Amidst the confusion, Loid quickly disguises himself as Snidel and grapples with him, causing the men to cease fire as they are unable to shoot their colonel. Angered by Loid's trick, Snidel pulls out his knife and attacks him, intending to damage his mask and expose him as the imposter once again. Loid outmaneuvers and overpowers Snidel, putting the colonel into a chokehold until he loses consciousness. After making Snidel's soldiers believe that he is their leader, Loid orders them to abandon Enormity and take the real Snidel with them, after which he stays behind and removes his disguise.
Yor destroys Type F
Yor continues to struggle against Type F as she tries to make him run out of ammunition but is beginning to wear herself out. After discovering the lipstick Loid bought her still in her pocket, Yor makes her final move against the cyborg. Before doing so, she tries to convince Type F to stop fighting, which falls on deaf ears. Yor charges at Type F, circling him while dodging his firepower. After Yor seemingly makes her final blow, Type F comments on her futile efforts to defeat him but is surprised to see lipstick markings on the magazine in his chest, as well as more marks encircling him that Yor had drawn. Yor explains that lipstick is mainly made of oil before lighting it on fire and dropping it onto the lines, engulfing the cyborg in flames and causing him to explode.
The Forgers reunite on the command bridge
Loid opens the hatch to the floor below the bridge and reunites with Anya. He discovers the cherry liqueur in her bag and smiles as he realizes why she left the hotel by herself. As more explosions go off in Enormity, Loid and Anya prepare to leave and run into Yor, who arrives on the bridge. Loid asks how she got on the airship, to which Yor explains herself and tells him that they promised to go together as a family. When Yor asks if the men on the ship are from the military, Anya claims they are chocolate thieves, and Loid plays along, which Yor accepts. Loid and Yor then scold Anya for stealing and eating the thieves' chocolate, but they cannot help but smile when she tearfully apologizes.
The Forgers work together to turn Enormity's wheel
As more explosions engulf Enormity in flames, the Forgers prepare to flee but see the Frigis city skyline on the horizon. Realizing they will crash into the city, Loid begins operating on Enormity to avoid this disaster. When questioned about his ability to fly the ship, he claims to have learned it from part-time work when he was a student; while Anya knows he is lying, Yor is impressed. Below, the people of Frigis panic and run away as they see the ship descending from the sky.
While Enormity's propulsion system and lifting platforms are dead, the rudder is still operational, so Loid takes control of the wheel and struggles to turn it. As he does so, debris from the damaged ceiling drops down and injures him. Yor and Anya help Loid, supporting his hands and helping him move the wheel. Using their combined strength and effort, the Forgers avoid crashing Enormity into the city, barely dodging one of its towers.
Loid recovers the microfilm from Anya
Enormity crashes into the nearby lake, and Fiona and Bond worriedly watch from afar. The Forgers survive the wreck and climb up to higher ground on the airship, where they witness the beautiful scene of the snow and lights outside. They are suddenly soaked by water pouring from above, causing Anya and Yor to laugh while Loid smiles. When Anya sneezes, Loid notices something in her mouth and finds the microfilm, which had been stuck in Anya's teeth the entire time. When Yor asks what it is, Loid says it is their ticket back home.
Yuri and the Lieutenant work on cleaning up the Frigis incident
Back at Berlint the next day, Yuri is busy doing paperwork concerning the clean-up of Enormity's crash in Frigis, which has been covered up as an accident during a training exercise. When he expresses annoyance at having to deal with the military's mess, the Lieutenant tells Yuri that if the reason behind the incident was the military acting prematurely, it would be troublesome if the public found out. Yuri suspects WISE was somehow involved in the incident and believes Twilight was behind it.
The Forgers head back home after their vacation
Loid returns to Safe House D to meet with Sylvia and give her the microfilm. To his surprise, she informs him that he will continue as the lead agent on Operation Strix, as Depple was caught having an affair, causing him to lose backing from his father-in-law, one of the higher-ups initially pushing to have him on the mission. Sylvia insinuates being behind Depple's fall, which amuses Loid. Afterward, Loid meets with the rest of the Forgers at a fountain in the park, having left under the pretense of meeting with an emergency patient. Anya reads Loid's mind and is happy to know that the family will stay together, and their mission will continue with them. As Loid and Yor hold Anya's hands, the family returns home to prepare her for making the meremere in the cooking competition.
The Forgers' next trip in Bond's vision
On Monday, Anya's class prepares to cook their dishes, and Damian mocks her when he hears she will be making the meremere. Deciding to advance the Friendship Scheme, Anya offers to let Damian have some of her meremere when she finishes it, but he rejects her in embarrassment. Suddenly, a loud sound goes off in the kitchen. After school, Anya returns home to inform Loid and Yor that the oven in the school kitchen broke, forcing the competition to be postponed, with the vice principal now serving as the head judge due to scheduling conflicts. Loid recalls that the vice principal likes berry pudding from the southern region, so the Forgers decide to take another trip. As they begin planning for their next family vacation, Bond has a vision of them happily playing on the beach.
Franky in Frigis with the cherry liqueur
In a post-credits scene, a freezing Franky arrives at Frigis's train station with the cherry liqueur for Loid, which he went to great lengths to obtain. He calls out for Loid in vain, unaware that the Forgers have already returned to Berlint.
