[01:38] State security service officer
    Pardon me. May we see
    your ID and invitation?
SIGN    You are now entering the Eden College social gathering venue
    This area is highly secured
[01:41] State security service officer
    Ah, Mr. Hamilton.
[01:43] State security service officer
    Please drive through.
[01:52] Narrator
    The social gathering at Eden College.
[01:53] Narrator
    A traditional event held every half-term
    for Imperial Scholars and their parents,
[01:59] Narrator
    as well as a handful of the alumni,
[02:02] Narrator
    including prominent figures
    in politics and business,
[02:04] Narrator
    scholars, engineers, artists, and athletes.
[02:08] Narrator
    The lineup was always impressive.
[02:12] Attendee A
    The security is rather
    intense again this year.
[02:15] Attendee B
    Well, the crowd is filled with VIPs.
[02:18] Attendee B
    I can't help but be a bit nervous knowing
    the State Security Service is here.
[02:22] Loid
    The level of security here is
    the same as a summit meeting.
[02:25] Loid
    I was prepared for that, but this
    goes beyond even my expectations.
[02:28] Loid
    Infiltrating it will prove to be difficult.
[02:30] Loid
    The easiest thing would be if I could get
    in without needing an Imperial Scholar...
[02:35] Loid
    But of course, if things were that simple,
[02:37] Loid
    we wouldn't have initiated
    Operation Strix to begin with.
[02:41] Loid
    In the past, intelligence from the West
[02:43] Loid
    tried infiltrating the gathering
    many times and ended in failure.
[02:46] Loid
    We can't keep failing just so they
    can keep strengthening their defenses.
[02:51] Loid
    The venue for the event
    is the Tower of Wisdom.
[02:53] Loid
    Other than the entrance located in front,
    there are only a handful of fixed windows.
[02:57] Loid
    The roof of the tower is a garden,
[03:00] Loid
    but infiltrating from above would draw
    too much attention to be feasible.
[03:02] Loid
    There are currently no promising
    routes from the basement.
[03:06] Loid
    At the one and only entrance, they conduct an
    extensive identity check and body pat-down.
[03:10] Loid
    They also use the most
    cutting-edge detectors.
[03:13] Loid
    Going in with a disguise or trying to place
    a wire on someone would be difficult.
[03:18] Loid
    Because none of the surrounding
    buildings are taller,
[03:20] Loid
    it would be impossible to read lips nearby.
[03:23] Loid
    Perhaps there's a way to sneak
    into the building days ahead...
[03:26] Loid
    No, that would pose quite a risk, too.
[03:29] Loid
    So there's no way to infiltrate the venue?
[03:31] Loid
    No, with a little bit of force,
    it wouldn't be impossible
[03:35] Loid
    to infiltrate just once. For example,
[03:37] Loid
    if we were trying to assassinate Desmond,
[03:40] Loid
    it would have been quite possible.
[03:42] Loid
    But the purpose of Operation Strix is
    a continuous interaction with Desmond.
[03:46] Loid
    To get into his good graces and
    extract information from him.
[03:49] Loid
    Even if we are able to clear
    all of these requirements,
[03:52] Loid
    and tried to get close to him
    disguised as someone else...
[03:56] Desmond
    Well, hello again.
[03:57] Famous Person
    Huh? But I didn't attend last time...
[04:00] Loid
    Famous people would be easy to trace,
[04:02] Loid
    and if they're accompanied by a child,
    it'll complicate things even more.
[04:05] Imperial Scholar
    You're being weird today, Papa.
[04:07] Loid
    And if I disguise myself
    as school staff or a waiter,
[04:11] Loid
    I won't even be able to speak with him.
[04:12] Loid
    I can't utilize any plans that
    could arouse suspicion.
[04:15] Loid
    Desmond is extremely cautious, so there's
    a possibility he'd never attend again.
[04:20] Loid
    My best bet is to interact
    with him as Loid Forger.
[04:23] Loid
    All I can do right now is make the
    necessary preparations for next time.
[04:27] Loid
    There'll rarely ever be a chance to
    encounter Desmond outside the tower,
[04:31] Loid
    but I'll look into any possibilities.
[04:35] Teacher
    This ends our class for today.
[04:39] Teacher
    The social gathering is this evening,
    so the school will be closed.
[04:42] Teacher
    Any students who are not attending
    should leave immediately.
[04:46] 15
    The social gathering...
    I wonder what it's like.
[04:49] 14
    Don't all kinds of celebrities show up?
[04:52] 17
    I heard that the cosmonaut Yachayka
     will give a speech.
[04:55] 16
    Ooh, the actress Amy, too.
[04:56] 9
    What? Really?
[04:58] 6
    Hey, is your father going
    to be there, too, Damian?
[05:01] 1
    Your older brother is an
    Imperial Scholar, after all.
[05:05] Becky
    I'm so excited we just have a half-day today.
[05:07] 1
    Hey, are you listening?
[05:13] (Flashback) Damian
    This is Damian Desmond from Cecile Hall.
[05:16] (Flashback) Damian
    Could you connect me to Demetrius Desmond?
[05:21] Demetrius
    What?
[05:22] (Flashback) Damian
    H-Hey, Bro.
[05:24] Demetrius
    What do you want?
[05:26] (Flashback) Damian
    Oh, sorry. About tomorrow...
    You're going to the social gathering, right?
[05:31] Demetrius
    Yeah.
[05:32] (Flashback) Damian
    When you see Father, there's
    something I'd like you to ask him.
[05:35] (Flashback) Damian
    I was wondering if I could see him,
    even just for a little bit, after the gathering.
[05:40] (Flashback) Damian
    Can you tell him I'll be waiting
    in the courtyard of Library 2?
[05:43] Demetrius
    I'll tell him, but don't get your hopes up.
[05:47] Demetrius
    Father is busy.
[05:49] (Flashback) Damian
    Yeah...
[05:50] Demetrius
    Is that all?
[05:52] (Flashback) Damian
    Yeah.
[05:52] Damian
    All right. Bye.
[05:58] 1
    Hey, let me greet your father.
[06:02] 1
    My father's going to pick me up today.
    Then we can both greet him. Okay?
[06:05] 6
    What? No fair. Hey, Damian, let me come, too.
[06:09] Damian
    Shut up.
[06:13] Ewen
    Lord Damian!
[06:15] Anya
    Is Second Son planning to meet
    with the evil boss today?
[06:18] Becky
    Hey, want to go shopping again today?
[06:21] Anya
    Anya's plan to use fassun
    on Second Son failed.
[06:24] Anya
    Which means...
[06:28] Anya
    Meeting my papa will lead
    to nothing but good things!
[06:32] Desmond (Anya)
    Oho.
[06:33] Anya
    I'll follow Second Son and
    fight the evil boss myself.
[06:36] Damian
    What the hell have you been up to all week?!
[06:38] Damian
    You're creepy! Stop following me!
[06:41] Ewen
    Lord Damian, perhaps she...
[06:44] Damian
    Wh-What?
[06:46] Ewen
    Perhaps she's following us to get
    in your father's good graces.
[06:50] Emile
    Yes! Just like the others!
[06:53] Damian
    You stupid uggo!
[06:55] Damian
    Stubby-legged uggo!
[06:57] Becky
    Well, that's rude.
[06:58] Damian
    Don't ever come near me again!
[07:00] Damian
    You creepy gorilla-girl stalker!
[07:03] Anya
    Anya is thinking of punching him again.
[07:06] Becky
    Don't. You'll get expelled.
[07:09] Loid
    As I feared, she's still not
    getting along with Damian.
[07:11] Loid
    So Plan B might be in dire straits, too.
[07:13] Anya
    Papa?!
[07:14] Loid
    No, perhaps she's trying to make
    up with him in her own way.
[07:18] Loid
    Well done.
[07:19] Loid
    For now, I need to find Damian, who may
    encounter his father outside the venue.
[07:24] Anya
    Wait! Anya will fight the evil boss, too!
[07:27] Becky
    What? Let's go home already.
[07:31] Emile
    Are you heading to the meeting spot already?
[07:33] Ewen
    Your father won't be here until
    after the social gathering, right?
[07:36] Ewen
    That won't be for hours.
[07:38] Loid
    So he is meeting with his father. Excellent.
[07:41] Emile
    Since we're here, shall we
    get closer to the venue?
[07:54] Emile
    Wow, it's quite impressive.
[07:57] Ewen
    Imperial Scholars! I may pee my pants.
[08:00] Emile
    Wow, and your father is one of the
    top VIPs among all these VIPs.
[08:05] Ewen
    That goes for you, as well,
    since you're his son!
[08:08] Emile
    Lord Damian?
[08:10] Damian
    I'm not going to see my father after all.
[08:12] Ewen and Emile
    Huh?
[08:13] Loid
    What? That's not good!
[08:15] Damian
    That's right. My father's amazing. He's very busy.
[08:19] Damian
    There's no way he'd have
    time to bother with me.
[08:21] Damian
    I'll go talk to my bro again.
[08:23] Damian
    I'll tell him to cancel the meetup.
[08:25] Anya
    That's not happening!
[08:28] Damian
    What's your problem?
    You're still here, you stalker?
[08:31] Anya
    Second Son's scared. Anya can tell.
[08:35] Damian
    Huh?!
[08:36] Damian
    Wh-What's with her? Is she
    actually reading my mind?
[08:41] Anya
    A-Anya knows that, um...
[08:44] Anya
    That you only got 50 points
    on our last language test.
[08:48] Damian
    H-How do you know that?!
[08:50] Damian
    Wait, that has nothing to do with anything.
[08:52] Anya
    I peeked over your shoulder.
[08:54] Becky
    Anya's become an actual stalker.
[08:57] Anya
    You're scared your father will find
    out that you did bad on your test.
[09:01] Anya
    Anya totally understands because
    she only got 17 points.
[09:04] Damian
    Don't lump me in with you!
[09:06] Anya
    Anya's a little scared because she's
    not sure if Papa loves her or not.
[09:10] Anya
    He always gets mad at me.
[09:12] Loid
    Anya...
[09:13] Anya
    But I believe in him because I love him.
[09:17] Anya
    And so...
[09:19] Anya
    Anya always shows him her tests,
    even if they're real bad.
[09:28] Anya
    What were we talking about again?
[09:30] Becky
    Dunno.
[09:32] Damian
    Damn it!
[09:33] Ewen
    Lord Damian, where are you going?
[09:34] Damian
    This is dumb.
[09:36] Damian
    I'm going to wait for
    Father in the courtyard.
[09:38] Emile
    Lord Damian!
[09:39] Damian
    I ain't scared!
[09:42] Loid
    I'm not quite sure what happened,
    but well done, Anya!
[09:45] Loid
    Her provocation worked in my favor!
[09:54] Becky
    Huh? You're going to wait, too?
[09:56] Becky
    Why?! My car's waiting,
    so let's just go home!
[10:00] Becky
    Wait... Is she planning to meet his
    parents because she hopes to marry him?
[10:05] Becky
    She's serious! You must be serious, Anya!
[10:08] Becky
    All right, Anya. I'll wait with you!
[10:11] Becky
    I will see your resolve through!
[10:14] Anya
    Zzz...
[10:17] Becky
    I was wrong. She's not serious at all.
[10:20] Becky
    Martha! Carry Anya to the car.
[10:23] Becky
    We're going home.
[10:24] Martha
    As you wish.
[10:26] Becky
    Anya's such a free spirit.
[10:29] Becky
    Oh, goodbye, sir.
[10:31] Disguised Loid
    Yes, goodbye.
[10:33] Becky
    And then Anya...
[10:35] Loid
    Making this replica was the right choice.
SIGN    Twilight's handmade replica
    Cost of materials: 10 dalc
[10:43] Loid
    Looks like the gathering
    ended without issue.
[10:45] Loid
    The security layout...
[10:47] Loid
    The flow of people and items, changes...
[10:49] Loid
    It was definitely worth it.
    All that's left is...
[10:51] Loid
    And Desmond's finally here.
[10:54] Loid
    He's headed to...
[10:56] Loid
    All right.
[10:58] Ewen
    I wonder if they're about done.
[11:01] Loid
    Hmm...
[11:06] Loid
    Oh, pardon me, boys.
[11:08] Loid
    Did you happen to see a sheep
    key chain around here?
[11:11] Loid
    It's apparently very
    important to my daughter.
[11:13] Loid
    But she seems to have
    dropped it around here,
[11:15] Loid
    so she came to me in tears,
    asking me to look for it.
[11:17] Damian
    Oh, is this it? It was on
    the ground over there.
[11:20] Loid
    Oh, that's it! Thank you.
    You're a lifesaver.
[11:23] Ewen
    That's definitely her...
[11:24] Loid
    Thank goodness!
[11:25] Damian
    Hey, are you Forger's dad, old man?
[11:28] Loid
    Hm? Old man?
[11:29] Loid
    I am. Oh... are you her classmates?
[11:33] Loid
    Wait. I'm sorry if you're not...
[11:35] Loid
    But might you be... Damian Desmond?
[11:37] Damian
    Y-Yeah, I am.
[11:40] Loid
    I'm so terribly sorry!
[11:42] Loid
    I'm sorry for what my daughter did
    on the day of the entrance ceremony!
[11:46] Damian
    Uh, sure...
[11:47] Loid
    I wanted to visit your home to apologize,
[11:50] Loid
    but I wasn't able to see you or your parents,
     so it's been on my mind all this time.
[11:53] Damian
    I mean, I live in the dorms.
[11:56] Loid
    I'm responsible for my daughter's
    rudeness. I'm truly sorry.
[11:59] Damian
    Uh, it's fine.
[12:01] Loid
    I would still like to
    apologize to your parents.
[12:04] Emile
    Ah, Lord Damian! Over there! Your father...
[12:07] Loid
    I'm truly sorry, Damian.
[12:10] Loid
    For the sake of my mission,
[12:11] Loid
    I'll be butting into your reunion
    with your father for a bit.
[12:16] Damian
    Father...
[12:19] SP A
    Young Master, who is that man?
[12:21] Damian
    Huh? Oh, he's my classmate's father.
[12:24] Loid
    U-Um, you must be Chairman Desmond.
[12:28] SP A
    Hey, step back. We need you to leave.
[12:30] Desmond
    It's all right. What is it?
[12:34] Loid
    I've been wanting to apologize for my
    daughter's rudeness toward your son.
[12:41] Loid
    Oh, I haven't properly
    introduced myself. I'm...

    Ah, so it was you. My staff

    I've been so busy that I haven't had
    time to address it. Sorry about that.

    Father... He was worried about me?
[14:52] Loid
    In the next few days,
    I will bring you a gift in apology.
[14:55] Desmond
    Oh, there's no need.
[14:58] Desmond
    It was merely a squabble between children.
[15:00] Loid
    But...
[15:01] Damian
    Father! A member of the
    Desmond family was punched!
[15:05] Damian
    Do you accept that?
[15:07] Loid
    Your son is right.
[15:09] Loid
    Regardless of the circumstances, it was my
    daughter who put her hands on your son.
[15:13] Loid
    I vow that I will make it up to you!
[15:15] Desmond
    It's quite all right. I thank
    you for your courtesy, though.
[15:18] Loid
    Instant rejection.
[15:20] Loid
    You are truly too kind, sir.
[15:23] Loid
    Being too persistent will backfire.
[15:25] Loid
    If he finds me at all suspicious,
    the operation will be ruined.
[15:28] Loid
    I need to be careful.
[15:30] Damian
    F-Father...
[15:31] Damian
    So he really doesn't care about me?
[15:34] Damian
    It was humiliating for me.
    My face even swelled up!
[15:37] Damian
    And yet...
[15:38] Damian
    Why? Why can't you get angrier for my sake?
[15:48] Damian
    Never mind...
[15:50] Damian
    I'm sorry.
[15:54] Loid
    No, you have every right to be angry, Damian.
[15:58] Loid
    I'll be sure to lecture her properly
    so this never happens again.
[16:02] Loid
    Then again, my daughter is rather eccentric,
[16:05] Loid
    so I'm honestly not sure what to do with her.
[16:08] Damian, Emile & Ewen
    Guy's got it rough.
[16:11] Loid
    Of course, this is my responsibility,
[16:13] Loid
    but I came to the painful realization that
    it's impossible to completely control children.
[16:18] Loid
    I guess a parent shouldn't assume
    they can control their child.
[16:22] Loid
    It's not good to have so many
    one-sided hopes and disappointments.
[16:25] Loid
    Raising a child is truly difficult.
[16:30] Desmond
    You are correct.
[16:32] Desmond
    In the end, even the child that
    shares your blood is a stranger.
[16:35] Desmond
    It is simply impossible to understand
    what someone else is truly thinking.
[16:40] Desmond
    People will never be able
    to understand each other.
[16:45] Loid
    And that's why you're using force to
    bring other nations to their knees?
[16:48] Loid
    Is that who you really are, Desmond?
[16:52] Loid
    You are absolutely right.
[16:57] Loid
    I specialize in psychiatry,
[17:00] Loid
    but I fear that I may not truly be able to
    understand what my patients are feeling.
[17:05] Loid
    It's true. "We can talk it out"
    is nothing but idealism.
[17:09] Loid
    It might be sheer arrogance to think
    you can truly understand another.
[17:12] Loid
    But...
[17:13] Loid
    What's truly important is
[17:14] Loid
    to continue walking
    beside them despite that.
SIGN    Candy Coupon
[17:17] Loid
    The things my daughter says
    and does are truly a mystery to me.
[17:21] (Flashback) Anya
    Anya is going to free some candy hostages
    at the candy store with this coupon.
[17:25] (Flashback) Loid
    Oh, really? Well, do your best.
[17:27] Loid
    I decided that I would accept her regardless,
[17:31] Loid
    and I try to find every opportunity
    I can to talk to her.
[17:34] Loid
    Though it doesn't always go well...
[17:37] Loid
    I won't abandon this path to obtaining
    information and gaining understanding.
[17:41] Loid
    I am an intelligence agent, after all.
[17:43] Loid
    Didn't you...
[17:44] Loid
    also happen to make time for your son,
     despite how busy you are?
[17:50] Desmond
    Hm. You do make a valid point.
[17:55] Loid
    I can really see why you
    look up to your father.
[17:59] Loid
    Anya mentioned it, too.
[18:01] Damian
    Huh?
[18:01] Loid
    Didn't you recently have an assignment to
    explore the career path you're interested in?
[18:07] Loid
    Anya was very moved by your report.
[18:11] Loid
    It was all she could talk
    about when she got home.
SIGN    All Lies
[18:13] Damian
    Really?
[18:15] Loid
    Have you seen his presentation, sir?
[18:18] Desmond
    No.
[18:19] Loid
    Oh, that's such a waste!
[18:21] Loid
    I only heard it through my daughter,
SIGN    Actually, he was spying at school
[18:23] Loid
    but I still sense just how much he
    respects and understands your work.
[18:27] Loid
    I was deeply moved.
[18:28] Loid
    Your boy is intelligent and
    very considerate of you.
[18:32] Desmond
    Is that so?
[18:34] Loid
    I do beg your pardon for saying this,
[18:36] Loid
    but I happened to be against the
    ideals of the National Unity Party.
[18:40] Loid
    And yet, when I heard his report,
    I became interested.
[18:44] Loid
    It made me realize that you are
    genuinely concerned for our country.
[18:48] Loid
    I was thinking about attending
    one of your lectures next time.
[18:51] Loid
    I might be taking this too lightly.
[18:54] Loid
    But his report truly was just that wonderful.
[18:57] Damian
    That's enough. You can stop, old man.
[19:00] Loid
    Sorry.
[19:01] Desmond
    You are indeed an interesting man.
[19:03] Desmond
    Forger, was it?
[19:07] Desmond
    My, what a delightful moment that was.
[19:10] Loid
    I guess that's the end.
[19:12] Loid
    He knows my name now,
    so I'll consider that good enough.
[19:15] Loid
    I've memorized his security
    team's faces and builds.
[19:18] Loid
    I humbly thank you for your time.
[19:22] Loid
    Oh, right.
[19:24] Loid
    Could you keep the fact that
    I talked to you about Anya a secret?
[19:28] Loid
    She can be quite the contrarian.
[19:30] Loid
    I'm pretty sure she doesn't
    actually dislike you.
[19:34] Loid
    It'd make me happy if you
    could be friends with her.
[19:39] Damian
    W-Well, I want to, too...
[19:41] Ewen
    Huh?
[19:42] Emile
    Huh?
[19:47] Damian
    Shut up! Shut up!
[19:48] Damian
    Like I have time to waste on that commoner!
[19:51] Loid
    Oh, ouch. Well, I'll do my
    best to raise our status.
[19:56] Loid
    If you'll excuse me.
[20:05] Desmond
    So, what did you want?
[20:08] Damian
    Oh, um...
[20:13] Damian
    It's nothing.
[20:14] Loid
    What's truly important is
[20:15] Loid
    to continue walking
    beside them despite that.
[20:19] Desmond
    If there's nothing else, I'll be going home.
[20:22] Anya
    Anya's a little scared because she's
    not sure if Papa loves her or not.
[20:26] Anya
    But Anya always shows him her tests,
    even if they're real bad.
[20:29] SP D
    Sir, we should get going.
[20:32] Damian
    Father!
[20:36] Damian
    I earned a Stella on our midterms!
[20:40] Damian
    I-It's only one so far, but I got really
    close in the other subjects, too.
[20:44] Damian
    Oh... but I got 50 points my
    language test the other day.
[20:49] Damian
    And...
[20:50] Damian
    Also, I got the grand prize
    for my griffin sculpture.
[20:53] Damian
    Also, um, uh...
[20:56] Desmond
    I see. Well done.
[21:00] Damian
    Father... Why did you come today?
[21:03] Desmond
    It was just a whim. Don't worry about it.
[21:06] Desmond
    Damian, continue working hard
    so as not to shame the Desmond name.
[21:11] Damian
    Yes, sir!
[21:20] Loid
    It wasn't much of a conversation,
[21:22] Loid
    but I got a decent idea of the
    relationship between the Desmonds.
[21:27] Loid
    Because the better their relationship,
    the better it'll be for Plan B.
[21:32] Loid
    Thinking back on Donovan Desmond...
[21:35] Loid
    He's indeed elusive.
[21:37] Loid
    It might be quicker to
    work from the outside in.
[21:40] Loid
    I need to take the intel I gained today
    back to HQ so we can discuss it.
[21:44] Damian, Emile & Ewen
    Stella! Stella!
[21:46] Damian, Emile & Ewen
    Stella! Stella! Stella! Stella!
    Stella! Stella! Stella! Stella!
[21:52] Damian, Emile & Ewen
    Stella! Stella! Stella! Stella! Stella! Stella!
[22:02] Loid
    I'm home.
[22:03] Yor
    Welcome home, Loid.
[22:05] Anya
    Zzz...
[22:08] Yor
    She came home fast asleep for some reason,
     and she's been asleep ever since.
[22:12] Becky
    Delivery for you.
[22:16] Anya
    Papa... Anya's gonna fight the boss, too...
[22:23] Loid
    She doesn't seem like
    she has a care in the world.
[22:26] Loid
    And... I have absolutely no
    idea what she's talking about.
