Chapter 10: New Family Member, Bond Forger (Part 1)

~ Special Chapter ~

[Loid Forger/Twilight]

'Just... Offer her some candy or something.' 

Loid sighs as he walks back home after meeting with his handler. He knew very well it was not as simple as that to motivate his youngest daughter.

After all, she'd made him rent a whole castle right after she got into Eden. He was almost afraid of what she would ask for now that she earned a Stella.

'And there's the matter of Y/n too...', he thinks, frowning slightly with concern at the thought of you. Unlike when he first met you, these days you rarely smiled, and were usually in your room studying. At least that's what you claimed. 

Of course, you occasionally joined Anya and played with her when you could, and you also never skipped eating with them all at meal times, but he was concerned because you would barely talk to him or Yor about things you needed or how your days at school went. 

You were very distant from the rest of the family. Heck, Loid didn't even know what your favorite color was, let alone what you like to do. He'd been too busy trying to tutor and figure out Anya that he had neglected to know you better. 

'I'm failing as a fake father and spy..', he thinks, clenching one of his hands into a fist dramatically, while his other hand holds onto his briefcase. 'I must spend more time with Y/n and make her happy... For the sake of world peace!'

He thought of how to do this. 'Perhaps we can all go on another outing as a family to wherever Y/n wants? I'll use this time to focus on her and note down what she likes and how she spends her time.' 

Nodding to himself, he decided this was a good plan, which he will have to announce later, because for now he must figure out what to give Anya as a present for doing a good job yesterday. 'I wonder what Anya wants..' 

Hopefully it's not another fake scenario where he has to pretend to be bondman, because he was not doing that again. It was embarrassing enough the first time, and it always creeped him out how similar himself and this bondman character look. 

He sighs deeply and looks up at the sky as he continues to walk.'Yea... I really hope that is not what she wants as a reward... And I hope Y/n is alright.. Yor too.' 

He didn't know why, but lately he found himself thinking a lot about you all as he heads home everyday. He thought of what new recipe he's going to cook for dinner, weather Anya or you needed new clothes, if Yor had trouble at work today... 

Sometimes he even thinks to himself, 'Oh... I sound like a normal person...'

It's strange really. 

So strange.

The next day, at school, you sighed for what seemed to be the millionth time as Anya ignored you when you called her by her name. 

"Starlight Anya", you say with a deadpan, and she finally turns to you with a hum, while you hold out the notebook that had fallen out of her open bag while she was walking. "This fell out."

She expresses shock when you show her the notebook, but instead of handing it to her, you put it back in her bag and close the zip to secure all the items inside. 

"There." you pat her back with a light smile, and she thanks you before rushing off to Becky, who waves at you with a grin. You wave back in a friendly manner, then begin to walk to school, unwilling to go due to how boring classes are to handle everyday.
