Loid: The time has come.
Loid: Let us check our personal effects.
Yor: All clear, sir.
Loid: And now, our appearances.
Yor: All clear, sir.
Loid: And a final check of our verbal etiquette.
Anya: All set, please. Will do my best, please.
Loid: I feel nothing but anxiety about this,
Loid: but we've done everything we could.
Loid: Now, onward...
THE PRESTIGIOUS SCHOOL'S INTERVIEW
Loid: To Eden College's interview!
Yor: It's so big!
Loid: Well, it is one of this country's top schools.
Yor: And there are so many examinees...
Loid: They're all our rivals.
Loid: Anya, are you going to be okay in this crowd?
Anya: I'll be okay, please.
Loid: Let us go, then.
Loid: This feeling...
Loid: There's no doubt about it.
Loid: I've experienced this many times.
Loid: Someone is watching us. Could it be...
Loid: Is there an enemy hidden in this crowd?
Anya: An enemy?
Yor: I feel someone's gaze...
Loid: No, that's not it.
Loid: I'm not the only one being watched.
Loid: It's always an unpleasant feeling to be observed like this.
Loid: There.
Loid: Four in the overhead passage.
Loid: Four in the bell tower.
Loid: More in the buildings to the left and right.
Loid: I have information on most of the staff at this school.
Loid: Those... are the instructors.
Loid: They're observing every action that everyone is taking and scoring them
Loid: to see if they're worthy of this school.
Loid: Which means... the exam has already begun.
Loid: I need you two to be on your guard.
Loid: We're being watched by the examiners.
Yor: Huh?
Loid: We'll do this just as we practiced.
Instructor A: D-, fail.
Instructor B: A-, fail.
Instructor D: G-, pass.
Henderson: I must say, the examinees this year lack refinement.
Henderson: They all lack true elegance.
Teachers: Good morning, Housemaster.
Eden College<Housemaster>
Henderson: It displeases me to know their crude feet
Henderson: are trudging upon the blessed ground of our school.
Henderson: Elegance creates tradition.
Henderson: Elegance is what truly makes this world a paradise.
Henderson: Fail any family lacking elegance immediately.
Instructor B: Yes, sir.
Henderson: Hm?
Henderson: Oho...
Henderson: It appears that not all hope has been lost.
Henderson: They are paying their respects to the statue of our founder?!
Loid: I, Twilight, am a man of a thousand faces.
Loid: Becoming exactly the person my target wants me to be is mere child's play.
Loid: Behold!
Yor: I haven't the slightest clue as to who this gentleman is,
Yor: but everything should be fine as long as I do what Loid is doing.
Anya: Baldy head!
Henderson: S-So elegant!
Henderson: How very elegant!
Henderson: Who is that family?
Instructor D: K-. They are the Forgers, sir.
Instructor D: Their daughter Anya just barely passed the written exam with a score of .
Henderson: Absolutely not elegant! And such awful penmanship!
Henderson: So the father has remarried?
Instructor B: Might they be an impromptu family for admission purposes?
Henderson: I am not certain. We must investigate.
Henderson: We must ascertain whether or not they have true elegance.
Instructor E: We'll confirm your admission numbers here.
Instructor F: G-. Please go to Hall .
Instructor F: Ah, A-. Please enter Hall .
Loid: I see they're wasting no time with the screening.
Instructor F: K-. Please head to Hall .
Loid: We're still being observed. Don't let your guard down.
Yor: It's so nerve-racking being watched like this...
Anya: I need to pick my nose.
Loid: Absolutely not.
Boy: Oh, no!
Boy: I've accidentally fallen into the gutter, and I can't get out!
Loid: Uh... That's too blatant if they're trying to test us.
Boy: Oh, no. Whatever shall I do?
Loid: Perhaps they're thinking he might be a thr*at,
Boy: Ah, I don't know what I should do.
Loid: but no one is trying to go near him.
Boy: Who knew there'd be a gutter here?
Loid: But if he is part of the test, we must deal with this accordingly.
Boy: I'm so shocked. I'm really stuck.
Anya: Papa! Mama! There is someone who needs our help, please!
Anya: Let us save him!
Loid: Are you all right, lad?
Boy: Oh, no! I've slipped and I cannot get up!
Boy Internal: This is all for merits... More merits!
Henderson: Precisely.
Henderson: You're heading to an interview. You wouldn't dare sully your clothes with sewage.
Henderson: Now, how will you elegantly get through—
Loid: Are you hurt?
Anya: Use my hanky, please.
Loid: Make sure you go to the infirmary, just in case.
Henderson: Clearly, I expected too much.
Henderson: In the end, they were just some commoners from the countryside.
Henderson: Do not think for a second that you can
Henderson: set foot in our house of learning wearing soiled clothes.
Henderson: Throw K- out immediately.
Boy: Oh, no... These people are going to fail because of me.
Boy: Um, I'm so sorr—
Yor: Thank goodness we anticipated this,
Yor: and prepared a change of clothes just in case!
Henderson: Who in the world would ever anticipate that?!
Yor: Besides, your grey suit seems to fit the attire at this school more.
Loid: If I had continued wearing my previous suit,
Loid: we would've been mistaken for commoners from the countryside.
Loid: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to change, lad.
Henderson: On top of everything else, they even thanked the boy!
Henderson: Brilliant... So smart, and elegant!
Henderson: Curse you and your cunning, Loid Forger.
Instructor B: Housemaster, we are supposed to be testing the child.
Henderson: Silence!
Henderson: Children learn from their parents' example!
Henderson: Yes. The parents of a child who scores points must also be only worth points!
Henderson: I'll make you reveal your true identity yet!
Man: Oh, no!
Man: The animals have escaped the farmhouse!
Loid: You're really going this far, Eden College?!
Mob : Hey, don't push me!
Mob : Just go, you moron!
Mob : Mommy! Mommy, Mommy!
Mob : Shut up!
Loid: Are they trying to see if we reveal our true selves in an emergency?
Loid: We'll be playing right into the examiners' hands if we panic.
Loid: Do not break Formation D.
Loid: We will show these animals nothing but benevolence!
Henderson: Hey.
Henderson: Who told you to go that far?
Instructor D: Wait...
Instructor D: It wasn't you, Housemaster?
Henderson: Impossible! Is this...
Henderson: an actual accident?!
Henderson: There are some very important people among the examinees!
Henderson: Go stop this mess before they're hurt!
Vice Minister: I'm the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Finance!
Banker: Hell if I care! I'm the CEO of the Central Bank!
Child A: Wait! Father!
Vice Minister: Well done, you!
Loid: Are you all right?
Yor: Loid!
Yor: It's happening to Miss Anya again.
Loid: The mass panic must've hit her.
Loid: The test is the last thing I need to worry about now.
Loid: That must be the leader of this herd.
Loid: That's the one I need to s but I'll have to use my g*n—
Loid: No...
Yor: Please look after Miss Anya for a moment.
Loid: Yor?
Yor: I-It's not what you think!
Yor: I once learned about pressure points that can stop one's movements in a yoga class!
Yor: I-I figured they might work on cows, too!
Yor: Please don't look at me like that!
Anya: Ms. Cow?
Anya: Is she scared?
Loid: That's dangerous, Anya!
Anya: S'okay, please. Don't be scared.
Loid: What are you—
Anya: They're gonna go home now.
Loid: Apparently so.
Loid: Thankfully, no one was hurt.
Henderson: E-Ele...
Henderson: Ele-le... Ele-le-le-le...
Henderson: Elegance!
Instructor B: Housemaster?
Henderson: Forger!
Loid: He's...
Loid: one of the housemasters.
Loid: Is he in charge of this exam?
Henderson: Y-You helped us avoid a crisis. I thank you.
Henderson: And... you have bested me for today.
Henderson: To give us all time to collect ourselves after this chaos,
Henderson: we will be delaying the start of the interviews.
Henderson: Return to your hall once you've had a moment to tidy yourselves.
Henderson: Your family has the right to apply to our school.
Loid: Sir...
Loid: It looks like we've avoided failure.
Loid: I humbly thank you for your generosity.
Loid: But have no fear.
Loid: We anticipated something like this...
Loid: and prepared another change of clothes.
Henderson: This isn't about elegance anymore! These people are just scary!
Narrator: The Forgers successfully make it to the actual interview.
Swan: You truly thought you could apply to our school without even knowing that?
Child B: Huh?
Swan: Well? Cat got your tongue?
Child B: Huh?
Child B: Um, uh...
Father D: Thank you very much.
Father D: What kind of answer was that?!
Loid: I've been a spy for over a decade,
Loid: and for the first time...
Loid: I'm actually nervous.
Loid: Even when I infiltrated the ranks of an evil t*rror1st group,
Loid: or when I managed to stop the launch of a m*ssile with one second remaining...
Loid: I never found it so hard to breathe as I do right now.
Loid: The fear of letting someone else decide my success or failure...
Instructor G: Next, the Forgers.
Anya: Yep!
Loid and Yor: Yes, sir.
Loid: Yes, this is definitely going to be...
Loid: the most crucial moment of Operation Strix!
Evans: Please, have a seat.
Loid: Thank you for having us.
Henderson: So you've come, Forgers.
Loid: The Forgers shall prevail in this game of information warfare.
Evans: First, we will begin by asking the parents a few questions.
Walter Evans Housemaster of Dorm Subject Taught: English Personality: Mild-mannered • Sincere • Conservative
Loid: The housemaster of Dorm , Malcom Hall.
Loid: Mild-mannered, sincere, and conservative.
Loid: The students are very fond of him.
Loid: As long as we respond with sincere, logical answers,
Loid: we'll score highly with him.
Evans: I was informed that this is your second wife. May I ask how you two met?
Loid: I see we're getting straight to the point.
Loid: Eden College does prioritize family values, after all.
Loid: I met my wife at the tailor shop that handles this school's uniforms,
Loid: and I was in awe of her grace.
Loid: Ever since I lost my first wife,
Loid: I was hesitant to pursue another relationship because of my daughter.
Loid: But the more we spoke, the more I felt that she was a kindred spirit.
Loid: She is truly kind and cares dearly about family.
Loid: I came to the conclusion that she'd get along well with my daughter.
Evans: Ah... And what about you, Madam?
Yor: Well...
Yor: L-Loid is a wonderful person who truly cares for his daughter.
Yor: He's also very considerate of me.
Evans: Ah, I'm happy to hear that you have such a loving family.
Swan: Why would a beautiful girl like you choose to be with a man who's got baggage?
Henderson: That was rather uncouth, Master Swan.
Murdoch Swan Housemaster of Dorm <Cline Hall> Subject Taught: Economics Personality: Arrogant • Greedy • Callous
Loid: The housemaster of Dorm , Cline Hall.
Loid: He's the only son of the former headmaster, and a legacy hire.
Loid: Arrogant, greedy, and callous.
Loid: His wife filed for divorce last month,
Loid: and he just lost custody of his daughter, as well.
Loid: Reviewing all of his previous interview questions and comments,
Loid: he is clearly jealous of other families, and takes out his frustrations on them.
Loid: It's best that we avoid provoking him.
Evans: Now for our next question.
Evans: Could you tell us why you chose to apply to our school?
Loid: For only one reason, sir.
Loid Internal: To get close to my target, Desmond!
Loid: The quality of the instructors at this establishment is superior.
Loid: Of course, you are all very knowledgeable and cultured,
Loid: but when it comes to teaching anything, from patriotism to how to be an elite,
Loid: the instructors of the prestigious Eden College
Loid: are second to none.
Henry Henderson Housemaster of Dorm <Cecil Hall> Subject Taught: History Personality: Elegant
Henderson: Elegantly done, Loid Forger.
Henderson: I knew I saw potential in you.
Evans: Now then, how would the two of you describe your daughter?
Evans: Please let us know about her strengths and weaknesses.
Loid: Anya is an extremely curious child.
Loid: Her habit of sticking her nose where it doesn't belong could be seen as a weakness,
Loid: but she is a truly intelligent child.
Henderson: Intelligent?! Her?!
Anya: Shock!
Loid: Sometimes, it's like she sees right through me,
Anya: Yikes...
Loid: which keeps me on my feet.
Loid: I would say her main shortcoming is that she's a picky eater.
Evan: Ah... And how would you describe your parenting style, Madam?
Yor: Just like we practiced...
Yor: As you already know, I am not her biological mother.
Yor: At first, I spoiled her quite often in hopes that she would like me.
Yor: But for the sake of her future, I'm hoping I can become a bit stricter at times.
Evans: We've been told that your daughter is a picky eater.
Evans: What kind of meals do you cook at home?
Yor: Huh? C-Cook?
Yor: Um...
Loid: I actually do most of the cooking.
Loid: Though when I'm busy, my wife is kind enough to cook for me.
Loid: Not that that's happened even once yet.
Swan: You're joking! What kind of wife can't cook for her husband?!
Swan: You should probably be stricter with yourself before you worry about that child.
Loid: Everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
Loid: She is extremely tidy and excels at keeping our house spotless.
Loid: She is also an excellent mother to my daughter.
Swan: Yes, well, both of those are things women are expected to do.
Loid: That's—
Yor: I-It's all right, Loid.
Evans: Now, now...
Loid: Yes. Calm down.
Loid: Why are you getting irritated, Twilight?
Loid: She's not even your real wife.
Swan: A lovey-dovey hot couple? You make me sick.
Swan: I'll keep jabbing at you until you slip up.
Swan: If I can't make sure these two fail, there's clearly no justice in this world.
Anya: He doesn't like Papa and Mama!
Anya: I need to do my best!
Evans: N-Next, let's ask the young lady some questions.
Loid: Here it comes.
Evans: First, could you tell us your name and address?
Anya: My name is Anya Holger!
Anya: My address is in... Berlint, West District...
Anya: Park... Avenue!
Evans: And what do you do on your days off, young lady?
Anya: We go to moozeums...
Anya: and eat operas...
Loid: Good. These were questions we anticipated.
Evans: What would you like to do once you get into this school?
Anya: Um, uh...
Anya: What was I supposed to say?
Loid: In my case, I first need to participate in a social gathering,
Loid: and get to the bottom of what the boss of the enemy organization, Desmond, is planning.
Anya: I-I want to find out what the boss of the organization is planning!
Loid: What in the world are you saying?! Hello?!
Evans: The boss of the organization? Maybe you meant the headmaster.
Loid: I do apologize. My daughter is rather ambitious.
Loid: She's extremely curious about the headmaster, since he's clearly made it to the top.
Henderson: Oho...
Henderson: The desire to learn from her predecessors at such an early age...
Henderson: That's quite elegant.
Henderson: Do you happen to know the name of the principal, young lady?
Anya: Um, B-Be...
Loid: Yes. Benedict Ivan Goodfellow.
Anya: Mr. Benedick Advent Goodheller.
Henderson: Hmm... Then,
Henderson: could you tell us how hard you would have to work in order to succeed like him?
Anya: Yes. Like getting through the jungle with no supplies,
Anya: and dancing with death over and over to get brave!
Loid: That was the training montage the protagonist of her spy cartoon did yesterday.
Henderson: S-Such incredible resolve!
Henderson: It appears as though I have underestimated this young lady.
Evans: I don't think you have to do quite that much.
Evans: Let's change the subject. What does your father do for a living?
Anya: He's a sp—a speshulist in mental health. A very good one.
Evans: Hm? Are you a little stuffed up?
Evans: Then how do you feel about your new mother?
Anya: She is very nice.
Anya: But she's scary sometimes.
Evans: If you were to give your parents a score, what might that be?
Anya: A perfect points.
Anya: My Papa and Mama are both so much fun, and I love them very much.
Anya: I want to be with them forever.
Swan: Tch. God, no one needs this rubbish.
Swan: In that case, would you score your old mother or your new mother higher?
Evans: Come now, Master Swan...
Swan: Is there a problem?
Loid: May I respectfully request a different question?
Swan: Absolutely not. If you do not answer, you will lose points.
Loid: I don't know exactly how she ended up in that orphanage,
Loid: but her actual parents are probably already...
Anya: Ma...ma...
Loid: Anya...
Anya: Mama...
Swan: I see, I see.
Swan: So you do prefer your old mother.
Yor: This is too cruel!
Loid: Please calm down, Yor.
Yor: But this is just—
Loid: We need to remain calm for the sake of this mission.
Swan: We have plenty of students here who live away from their parents in our dorms.
Swan: If she's going to cry over every little trifling thing,
Swan: she'll never survive at our establishment!
Loid: So what if he's being slanderous?
Loid: We are nothing more than a pretend family.
Yor: Trifling? You call this trifling?
Loid: This is nothing.
Swan: Now, now, Mrs. Second Wife.
Swan: Don't snap at me just because she loves her real mother more.
Swan: Oh, I feel so much better.
Loid: Restrain yourself...
Loid: Twilight!
Loid: I do beg your pardon.
Loid: There was a mosquito.
Loid: Thank you very much for your time today.
Swan: Hey, where are you going?!
Swan: The interview's not over yet!
Loid: If making light of a child's feelings is part of your establishment's educational policies,
Loid: then I'm afraid we have chosen the wrong school.
Swan: You fiend! You dare disgrace our fine school?!
Loid: Come now, you two.
Loid: Please excuse us.
Swan: Don't think you'll ever walk through our gates again!
Henderson: That's quite enough, Master Swan.
Swan: Are you taking issue with my methods?
Swan: He may be the former headmaster,
Evans: Now, now...
Swan: but my father's influence within this school is still strong.
Swan: It'd be wise for you to watch that mouth of yours.
Swan: Hey! Hurry up and call the next one in!
Loid: ...the instructors of the prestigious Eden College
flashback Loid: are second to none.
Henderson: If all I can do is curry favor with the authorities,
Henderson: I have no right to call myself an educator.
Henderson: I must ask, who truly disgraced our school?
Swan: Huh?!
Evans: Wha—
Henderson: Hmm...
Henderson: That was rather elegant, if I do say so myself.
Henderson: Now, will you be able to face the instructors at Eden head-on,
Henderson: Forgers?
Loid: Yeah... We definitely failed.
Yor: I-I'll go make us some tea.
Loid: I've failed yet again as a spy.
Loid: I let unnecessary feelings get in the way of the mission.
Anya: Papa...
Anya: I'm sorry.
Anya: I'm so sorry that I couldn't do better
Anya: on my tests.
Loid: It's all right, Anya. You have no reason to apologize.
Loid: You don't want to go to a school like that, do you?
Anya: But I want to go to school...
Loid: Huh?
Anya Internal: If this mission fails...
Anya: I have to go to school or...
Anya Internal: ...we won't be together anymore.
Loid: Anya...
Yor: If she fails, of course, our life here together will be...
Yor: But that doesn't matter.
Yor: I'm just worried how this may affect my work.
Loid: Hmm... But to be honest,
Loid: Hell will freeze over before you pass.
Anya: Shock!
Yor: I-I'm sure everything will be okay!
Yor: It'll all work out!
Anya: The grandpa with the glasses and the grandpa with the half-glasses
Anya: were really nice!
Yor: Yes, exactly!
Yor: I'm sure they'll vouch for us! Let's believe in them.
Loid: Spies don't believe in anyone other than themselves.
Loid: They always expect the worst-case scenarios and prepare for them.
Anya: I want to be with them forever.
Loid: But... Maybe just a little bit...
Loid: Yes. Let's leave the result to fate,
Loid: and try to recover from how exhausting that exam was.
Loid: Right now, just for a little bit...
Loid: To our family's bright future!
Anya: Something just fell!
Yor: Our family portrait fell to the floor.
Loid: It just fell...
Narrator: What will become
Narrator: of their mission?
