The Story Begins
The anime takes place in a fictional world where two neighboring nations, Westalis and Ostania, are locked in a tense Cold War. Although there is no open conflict, both countries constantly gather intelligence to prevent war.
The best spy in Westalis is known only by his codename:
Twilight
Twilight is famous because he has never failed a mission. He is calm, highly intelligent, and can change his appearance using disguises. He has no permanent home or family because he believes emotions can interfere with his work.
His latest assignment is called Operation Strix, the most important mission of his career.
Operation Strix
Twilight receives instructions from his intelligence agency.
His target is a powerful politician named Donovan Desmond, who rarely appears in public.
The only place Donovan regularly attends is events at his son’s prestigious school, Eden Academy.
To get close to him, Twilight must:
- Create a fake family.
- Adopt a child.
- Enroll that child in Eden Academy.
- Attend school events as a parent.
He has only a few days to complete everything.
Twilight Becomes Loid Forger
To avoid suspicion, Twilight adopts the identity of Loid Forger, a respected psychiatrist.
He now needs to find a child immediately.
Meeting Anya
Loid visits several orphanages before arriving at one where he meets a cheerful little girl named Anya Forger.
At first glance, she seems like an ordinary six-year-old child.
However, the audience quickly learns a huge secret:
Anya can read people’s minds.
She gained this psychic ability during secret experiments before escaping from the laboratory where she was raised.
No one knows her secret—not even Loid.
Why Anya Chooses Loid
As soon as Loid enters the orphanage, Anya reads his thoughts.
She discovers:
- He is actually a spy.
- He has dangerous missions.
- His life is exciting.
Instead of being scared, Anya becomes thrilled.
She has always dreamed of adventures involving spies and secret missions, so she immediately wants Loid to adopt her.
Loid, unaware of her telepathy, decides she seems intelligent enough and adopts her.
The Entrance Exam Challenge
Once they return home, Loid starts preparing Anya for the entrance exam at Eden Academy.
He quickly realizes that Anya struggles with studying.
The funny part is that Anya often answers questions using information she secretly reads from Loid’s mind rather than what she actually knows.
This creates many humorous misunderstandings.
The Hidden Message
While Loid leaves briefly, Anya accidentally discovers a coded message related to one of his spy missions.
Thinking it sounds exciting, she follows the clues without understanding the danger.
Unfortunately, a criminal organization also finds the message and kidnaps her.
Loid’s Rescue Mission
When Loid realizes Anya has disappeared, he immediately switches back into his spy persona.
Using his intelligence and combat skills, he tracks the kidnappers to their hideout.
The rescue sequence showcases why Twilight is considered Westalis’s greatest spy:
- He infiltrates the building undetected.
- He defeats multiple enemies with precision.
- He uses clever tactics instead of brute force.
- He protects Anya while completing the mission.
These scenes combine intense action with stylish animation.
Anya’s Feelings
Throughout the rescue, Anya can read Loid’s thoughts.
She realizes that although he claims this is “just another mission,” deep down he genuinely worries about her safety.
This is the first sign that their fake relationship is beginning to become something more meaningful.
Becoming a Family
After escaping the kidnappers, Loid apologizes for putting Anya in danger.
He asks if she still wants to be part of his family.
Anya happily agrees.
Although their relationship began as part of a mission, they officially become father and daughter.
The episode ends with the next challenge still ahead: finding a wife to complete the fake family.
