MISSION:35
PART A: ENJOY THE RESORT TO THE FULLEST

Resort island!

Super landing!

Don't jump, you'll trip.

I'm glad the State Security Service
is on guard searching for the bomber,

but I feel their eyes roving about,
and it's unnerving.

Father.

Usually, at times like this,
a father would

jump, skip, and get excited with
his daughter. Or so I've heard.

Let's enjoy the resort island!

Father is so simple.

- Mother!
- Yor!

- Mother!
- You got our message?

Yes.

They gave me a day off today.

- Is your face a little swollen?
- Oh crap. He noticed.

- Are you okay?
- Oh... ah... well...

Our possible client
got in a fight with his wife,

and I got a little hurt
when I stepped in to break it up.

I see. Then what about the attempt
to attract them to our city?

That fell through.

But we did all we could.

And in the end, they were both smiling.

So I'm satisfied.

I see.

Can you play with us today, Mother?

Yes, let's have lots of fun!

- Let's enjoy!
- Let's enjoy ourselves!

They look like Bond!

- It's so nice and peaceful.
- It sure is.

Although the situation on board
was pretty threatening.

I hope this peace

goes on and on forever.

In order to make that happen, I will...

Father! Mother!

I want to dive in the water
and look at the fish!

What? That will require us to
wear swimsuits, right?

Oh crap.

I can't let them see the wound
on my chest.

Oh never mind. I don't want to get
eaten by sharks.

Oh, but...

I can probably hide my wound
if I wear these swimwear!

Let's try it, Anya!

Don't worry. There won't be any sharks.

Even if there is, I'll quietly
take them all down.

THE FISH ARE BEAUTIFUL!

YES, THEY LOOK DELICIOUS.

- I want to try surfing next!
- Let's do it!

- There's a big wave coming, Anya!
- Yes.

Ready? Go for it!

Oh crap! I've been working for days,
so I forgot to control my strength!

Anya, are you all right?

I want to do it again! Again!
It's so thrilling!

You better not.

I'm so sorry!

- We did so many fun things!
- We sure did.

It's almost time to return to the ship.

You're right.

I was fighting without sleep or rest,
so I'm suddenly getting sleepy...

Hey... Yor.

Father, Anya is sleepy and tired too.

I can understand Anya, but Yor too?

I guess her job was really exhausting.

But she still spent all day with Anya
to make her happy.

Thanks for your hard work.

SOUVENIR

Regarding the incident on Lorelei,

nothing has been made public, but a large
number of passengers are missing.

They were all passengers with fake IDs.

Well, I did notice numerous
suspicious individuals on board.

We'll have to be on guard if they're
trying to wage w*r between East and West.

The State Security Service believes
that a third country is involved.

They'll most likely

attempt a cover-up of this incident
in order to save face.

As for us,

we should look out for any
extremist groups in Ostania that may

yet be unknown.

It'll affect Operation Strix as well,
so I'm counting on you.

Understood.

And aside from the b*mb fiasco,

how was your vacation?

Was Anya very happy?

I've had enough. It was a lot more
exhausting than a mission.

I can't really tell if he's clever
or clumsy.

MISSION:35
PART B: BRAGGING ABOUT VACATION

Good morning.

Yor, you're back already?

I still can't believe it, Yor.

It's so unfair that you got to go.

Where's our gift from your cruise trip?

It was work, remember?

Well, I found some lovely gifts
on the ship.

Here it is.

SOUVENIR

What is this?

It's a skeleton model keychain.

Ugh, this is awful.

I really don't want this.

What kind of taste do you have?

Usually, souvenirs for coworkers
are things like wines or snacks.

It's usually something they can consume.

Oh, is that right?

Father wouldn't buy this for me.
Buy it for me, Mother.

I said that I'll buy it for you.

It's so cool, Anya!

I'll buy these as gifts for Camilla
and the rest.

Oh no, what should I do?

Loid picked out some snacks
as Yuri's gift, but should I give that

to these girls?

But there aren't enough for everyone.

Oh well, I guess it's very Yor.

What? Wine would've definitely
been better.

Maybe I'll give it to my kid.

Skip, skip, tra-la-la

You seem to be in a good mood, Yuri.

Did something good happen
with your sister?

How did you know it was about
my older sister?

Can you read minds?

Maybe.

My sister returned from her business trip.

I'm going to stop by to see her
after work.

It's been so long since I saw her.
Sis! Sis!

But if Sis is back,
that also means he's back...

The preparation is done.

It's a hassle to do all this
every time her brother comes over.

Even though he's family,
he's the secret police, WISE's enemy.

One careless mistake on my part
could ruin everything.

Will it be more convincing if I move
the pillows closer?

I'll add some new family pictures

and prepare some matching pajamas
just in case.

Did you go anywhere during the break?

I went to the art museum to see some of
Pecasso's work.

I saw an orchestra
at the National Opera House.

You're so lucky.

- Good day, Anya.
- Good morning.

You look a little tanned.
Did you go somewhere?

You really want to know, Miss?

It's quite a long story, but yes,

Anya was on the sea that day.

That was the beginning
of a never ending adventure.

What character is she playing?

I went on board...

- the luxury liner!
- What?

Wow Anya, you're like a celebrity!

Are you serious?

You really went on board
that legendary ship?

It's about time you stop looking down
on Anya!

I'm sorry, Miss Anya!

The Forger family is worthy
to visit my house!

Please come!

Skilled Agent Anya never forgets
her mission.

I see. So it was just an ordinary break.

It wasn't ordinary at all!
It was super big.

It was some ship called
Princess Lalalalai.

Princess Lorelei?

I went on that before school started.

It was so-so, wasn't it?

I stayed at the Imperial Suite,

but their furnishings were nothing
to rave about.

Anya stayed in the third-class prison.

If I had stayed in the third-class cabin
I'd be too embarrassed to talk about it.

Stop it. Have pity on the commoner.

I flew over the skies of Münk on
a helicopter the day before yesterday.

It was so much fun.

We stayed at the first-class hotel
in Bayan

and ate lots of good food!

So what?

I asked Papa for a favor,

and partied with Rachel,
the actress from Berlint in Love.

There were about 100 guests and I heard
stories behind the drama and got gifts.

I had so much fun.

That's so amazing, Becky!

It's the Blackbell Heavy Industries
after all.

You're on a whole different level.

- Hehe.
- Tell us all about Rachel!

Is she really pretty in person?

Introduce her to me!

Anya's ship had about 100
dangerous people on board.

What do you mean by "dangerous people"?

Were there celebrities on board?

Who was it?

There were some from foreign countries.

- What?
- Foreign celebrities? That's amazing.

Don't keep us in suspense.
Give us some names!

For example,

Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby!

Who is that?

Who is that? Never heard of him.

- Is it a street performer?
- Who else was there?

Oh... um...

The elephant tamer Paon-man.

And Shashasha-man who can teleport.

LIES

What kind of people are they?
Are they in a circus?

They're... villains.

- Villains?
- Did you run into pirates or something?

How unfortunate for you.

I didn't see any stories like that
on the news.

Don't take it seriously.

That's right! They covered-up
that incident caused by the bad guys.

I wasted my time listening to you.

Tsk, tsk. It's not on the news,

because they are secret villains
that the government

doesn't even know about.

They came up from the bottom of the sea.
Their true identity is...

Octopeople.

Heroic Anya secretly took them down

with the stabbing tool...

Mother did.

And what did you talk about with Rachel?

Introduce her to me!

- And world's peace...
- No way!

Samantha was there too?

- You're so lucky.
- I want to see her too!

She has no shame.

She's such a big liar.

It's remarkable, in a way.

I never get tired of watching her.

What's with the elephant taming
Octopeople?

You're absolutely right.

Take your seats everyone.

Did everyone enjoy their break?

Teacher, Forger says that she took
down some Octopeople.

Oh, that's impressive.

I understand, Anya.

Humans have the tendency and urge
to fib in order to impress others.

But if you do that,

and try to become the ideal version
of yourself,

you can become a lovely lady.

- That's what Mama told me.
- Becky!

But don't lie too much, because if you do,
you'll end up all alone like me.

Sis! It's been so long!
I haven't seen you in so long, Sis!

Here's your souvenir.

Yay! I'll treasure it forever.

Eat it before it expires.

Then I'll take a picture of it,
and gaze at it every day.

He's so loud.

- Anya's home.
- Welcome home.

What's wrong, Anya?

You exaggerated and stretched the truth,
and your classmates made fun of you?

They called me a liar.

Anya cried a little.

Why did you lie?

- For Plan B!
- How do you know about that?

I wanted to stand out.

If you let emotions take over, and lie
instinctively, you'll destroy yourself.

If you want to disguise yourself,
do it strategically and thoroughly.

Stake your life.

To make your lies convincing,
add in some details,

and sprinkle some truth in it.

But be bold...

Oh I see...

But lying is bad.

I've seen many liars.

Humans who lie are all scumbags.

They're scum who are nothing
but pests ruining this country.

Me? I'm lying about my current status
for the sake of Sis.

Everything I do for Sis
is in the name of justice.

Yes, liars are all scumbags.

Yes... That's right...

It's best to show your true self,
as much as possible.

That'll help you to get along
with everyone too.

Being a liar seems complicated,
so I won't lie anymore.
