Vincent,

I love you.

This isn't right, Sonia.

I have a fiancée
I left behind in the West.

But that's just an arranged marriage!

I'll help you forget about her!

MISSION:36
PART A: BERLINT IN LOVE

No, we mustn't Sonia! I can't breathe...

Anya!

I'm out shopping
near your house right now,

but can I stop by your place?

I can? Great, thank you! I'll be there!

Good day, Anya!

Please tell me you're not home alone!

Becky, are you
the teleporting Shashasha-man?

I will definitely meet Mr. Loid today

and ask him to go out with me.

Miss, you must not have an affair.

Father, Becky is here.

Hey, welcome.

It's Mr. Loid in the flesh!

Miss, you mustn't forget your greetings.

Um... um...

Hello. Thank you for having me...

Sorry for visiting unannounced,
Mr. Forger.

No problem at all.

My daughter's happy
to have her friend stop by for a visit.

Hello, Miss Becky.

Miss Becky...

- Miss Becky...
- Lo...

Thanks for always being so good
to my daughter.

A star, hashtag, triangle, ampersand,
smiley face, hot spring, heart...

Is this a code?

Miss, please get up.

It's bad manners to lie down on the ground
in someone else's house.

I love you.

I remember seeing
someone like this before.

LOVE

Please behave well, Miss.

I'll be back to pick you up.

Okay.

Thank you for looking after her.

Sure.

The way she carries herself tells me

that she's a former experienced soldier.

It's the Blackbell family after all.

Do you want to explore Anya's house?

Come to think of it,
it's my first time inside.

This is the living room.

What? I thought this was the storage area
by the entrance!

This is Anya's room!

Oh my, it's much smaller
than my Wiesel's doghouse.

Isn't it suffocating?

Let's quit exploring.

If you want.

By the way, where's Mrs. Forger?

Mother took Bond on a walk.

This is my chance!

Mr. Loid!

This isn't right, Miss Becky.
I have a wife.

It was an arranged marriage, right?

UNFOUNDED

But...

I'll use my charms to help you forget
about her!

Miss Becky!

Becky as my mom?!

I'm sure it will make Anya happy
if I become her mother.

Let's live in this spacious house.

It's a castle!

Come Anya, let's go to school together
in my helicopter.

Mother!

A first-rate chef will prepare our meals
every day.

- Delicious!
- Yummy!

The servants will take care of
all the tiresome chores.

Let's go out and play.

Yay!

It's not bad!

Sorry, Mother.

I'm leaning more towards Becky
because of the first-rate chef.

Father! Come play with us.

Nice assist, Anya!

Play with you guys?

We can just talk if you'd like.

Oh... um... ah... I'm Becky Blackbell.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

First-rate chef! First-rate chef!

The Blackbell family is very famous.

I already knew about you
before you became Anya's classmate.

As an important source of intel.

He knew about me from long ago?

I've already secured a few outlets
to gain intel from Blackbell,

but I might be able to get something
out of the daughter.

It's worth trying.

Father is always thinking about work.

How is your father doing?

I hear he's been busy restructuring
his business.

Ah...

Yes, but Papa is really nice,

so he plays with me on his days off.

We went to the movies the other day.

Next time, I want to go with you.

I see. What did you watch?

Was it that movie theater along the river?

There are lots of great restaurants
around there.

Her father's time off.

Area of activity, habits,
and food preferences.

There's countless useful information.

The movie was a love story...

Is he trying to gauge my preferences?

Even the restaurants?

Wait, is he asking me out to eat? Is he?

You must be close with your father.

Do you go out with your family often?

Do you play together at home too?

Currently,

nothing suggests that Blackbell Industries
is taking part in planning a w*r.

But it won't hurt to gather intel while
taking future possibilities into account.

Pa... Papa likes chess.

I have no idea how to play it,
but I always have to play against him.

Oh... and...

I didn't think he'd express such interest
in my family!

Mr. Loid, are you...

thinking of me as someone
to share your future with?

He looks somewhat serious!

This is fun.

We're back.

Oh? Welcome, Becky!

She's here! The last boss!

-Right when Mr. Loid started
-First-rate chef!

- expressing interest in me!
- First-rate chef!

Hello, Mrs. Forger.

Oh my, how cute.

Look Becky, this is Bond!

Mr. Loid's heart is leaning towards me
right now!

- Look Becky!
- You're so close, Becky!

You have to give it your all right now!

I'll use everything I learned
from the drama!

Loid,

I bought the ingredients for dinner.

Thanks, Yor.

Is she trying to show off
her competence as a wife?

How naive.

You can't move Mr. Loid's heart
with something trivial like that.

Father and Mother are already married.

Jonathan in Berlint in Love said

that even after marriage, a man wants
his mate to maintain her womanly appeal.

Hm?

What? His reaction is a bit dull.

Maybe I needed to glance upwards
a bit more.

Tommy said that it's sexy
whenever girls tie

and untie their hair.

Becky must be really happy
because she's been wanting

to see you for a very long time, Loid.
Is she expressing her happiness?

Oh... hm.

I brought some tea.

Loid, why don't you sit over there
on the couch?

Mr. Loid is sitting next to me!
He's next to me!

Mrs. Forger must be crazy.
Why is she aiding her enemy?

She must have accepted her defeat
after seeing me flip my hair.

This is your chance, Becky!
Go in for the k*ll!

It seems like she's ill...

Um... Mr. Loid, let's continue
with our discussion from earlier...

You were showing interest in my family.

How formal.

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to pry. I was just
curious since your family is so famous.

Oh crap. Maybe I went too far,
thinking that she's just a child.

What? You were just playing with me?

What are you saying?

Yor will get the wrong idea.

Oh, Loid is so impressive.

He was playing with Becky
while I was away?

He's so nice!

Look at Mrs. Forger's smile!
She must be confident she b*at me!

You really think I don't have a chance
with Mr. Loid?

I'm going to lose the first-rate chef.

It's time to go for broke!

It's the tactic Penelope used on Tommy!

I think I'm a little drunk.

It's just tea.

According to Berlint in Love,

this is the prohibited technique
to make any man fall for you!

There's no turning back now!
The fight is on, Mrs. Forger!

Yor, don't misunderstand...

Oh no!

Did I serve alcohol to a child?

What should I do?

No, this is just tea.

Perhaps the tea leaves were
fermented too long...

What?

Let's go to the hospital!

Wait!

Yor!

Are you okay, Becky?

Do you feel nauseous?

I'm okay! So put me down!

Acute alcohol poisoning
shouldn't be underestimated!

It's not about that!

Which doctor should I take her to?

Let's go to the emergency room!

We'll be there soon! Stay awake!

Don't fall asleep! You'll die!

You're thinking of something else.

Don't forget to breathe!

That's something else too.

Wait, Mrs. Forger.
You've got it all wrong.

I lied because I wanted to go out
with Mr. Loid.

I'm not drunk!

What?

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!

I'm so glad you're okay.

What?

Can you stand?

You're not going to get mad at me?

Why would I? You're safe and well.

Oh well, there's the thing
with Mr. Loid too...

It makes me happy to know that Loid
is loved.

He is a lovely person after all.

Oh my!

She's so broad-minded!

She's okay with affairs?

I should be the one to apologize.

I misunderstood and dragged you out here.

No, it's my fault.

Compared to Loid, I'm so useless.

But Mr. Loid chose you!

How did you sh**t and capture
Mr. Loid's heart? I'm so curious!

sh**t and capture...

No, I didn't sh**t Loid at all!

I don't use bows and arrows to begin with!

Loid chose me because...

I can't say that it was because
we matched each other's requirements.

I only remember vaguely,
but one time he told me,

"Because you're strong."

Because you're strong?

Mr. Loid likes strong women?

Come to think of it,
Mrs. Forger is very strong! And tough!

Hey!

There they are!

Becky!

Becky, you forgot your bag.

Mr. Loid, did you come running after me
because you were worried?

Your bag.

I'm strong.

I have to show him how strong I am!

How can I do that?

That's it!

Oh, I have the sudden urge
to hit something with a hammer.

What kind of urge is that?
I don't understand rich kids at all.

Sir, can I try this?

What? You have any money, Missy?

Chef!

- Let's do this!
- Chef!

Chef!

You give up?

I'm a weak woman.

I'm a weak, worthless woman.

Are you all right?

At this rate,
I will never catch Mr. Loid's attention.

Oh, I see.

Becky probably wanted to give
the grand prize to Loid as a gift.

Let me try it one time.

All right.

Grand prize!

- Oh... yay...
- Grand prize!

I should've held back a little more.

This is the meaning of strength.

Mr. Loid is staring at his wife!

So it's true that you like
strong women, huh?

Yor...

It's not what you think, Loid!

I once trained under
a professional hammer wielder!

Those rounded eyes!

That's definitely the look of love!

I'm no match for you, Mrs. Forger.

What?

You have the mind and heart as broad
as the sky, and the strength of the earth!

You're the perfect lady.

Please be my master and teach me the way!

I want to become strong like you!

L... like me?

Okay! Let's train together!

Okay, Mrs. Forger!

And someday I will win over Mr. Loid...

I'm here to pick up Miss Becky.

Ya!

That's not right, Becky.

You must twist your hips a little more.
Like this!

Ya!

- Ya!
- Ya!

- Is this a déjà vu?
- Ya!

- My mother is more fun after all.
- Ya!

BERLINT GENERAL HOSPITAL
THURSDAY

Doctor Forger, you'll be on vacation
starting tomorrow, right?

Sorry for the inconvenience.

No, you're a workaholic,
so you need this vacation.

Relax and have fun.

I'm so envious. Please tell us all about
your trip when you return!

Will do. Thank you.

Thank you for dealing with
any inconveniences while I'm gone.

WISE SAFEHOUSE G

That's the summary of
the mission this time.

Any questions?

No.

I'm counting on you, Nightfall.

Oh, and one more thing.

Look through this.

I was planning on giving these missions
to Twilight after his vacation.

But plans have changed.

Sorry, but this is urgent.
Can you take on a few of them?

Of course I'll assign some
to the other agents too.

No, I can do it all on my own.

I'm glad you're willing, but you have
your own current mission as well.

I don't want my agents to get exhausted
by overworking themselves.

But I highly doubt there is anyone else
besides me who can complete these tasks.

Fine. But don't push yourself too hard.

Agent Twilight, WISE's most skilled spy.

Missions assigned to a skilled spy
such as him,

are anything but easy to accomplish.

But this will be a big opportunity for me.

Twilight taught me many valuable things.

Like the skills necessary to be a spy,
and fighting techniques.

I will make full use of all that I was
taught and complete this mission.

And...

after I perfectly complete my mission...

I will take the place as his wife...

All right. I'm sure this will
make him realize

that I'm most suited to be his partner.

But...

this is not enough.

It's not enough for me to be certain
of my victory

against Yor Briar.

I need to do more
in order to become Mrs. Forger.

More...

More...

MONDAY MORNING

Those are the files I put together
of your patients while you were away.

This is helpful.

I missed seeing him
the last three days. Love you.

- How was your vacation?
- Did you find any major faults?

- Anything out of the ordinary?
- Concerning your wife for Operation Strix?

There was back-breaking work to deal with

like Anya's tantrums
and a potential bombing.

No, nothing in particular.

I see.

Dammit.

How about you?

Anything out of the ordinary
while I was away?

I worked hard on missions
because I wanted to be useful to you.

Next time, I will make sure
to win against that woman.

So please choose me
for the role of your wife.

No, nothing in particular.

I see.

Nightfall said that?

Yeah.

She was fired up and told me to leave it
all up to her.

She impressively completed the work.

I can't believe Nightfall covered my work.

Even when she had her own mission
to complete.

SOUVENIRS

By the way, I passed out souvenirs
to everyone, and there's one left.

Would you like it?

She's glaring at me!

What? What does this mean?

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Oh...

I love you. I love you.

I love you. I love you.

- I love you.
- I thought it was now or never.

So I said it.

- I see.
- Oh, Ms. Fiona!

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

LOVE
