## Summary

As a new day begins at Eden Academy, students chatter about what they did during their midterm break, and Anya confidently walks to her class with a smile. She enters and is greeted by Becky, who notices that she has become a little tan and asks her friend where she went during her break. Anya tells Becky about going to the "Grandest Luxury Liner in all of Ostania." Becky and Damian are surprised by this, the latter saying that the Forgers are worthy of coming over to his house; at least, that is what Anya imagines will happen.

In reality, Becky brushes it off as nothing special, surprising Anya. Anya says her trip was special and struggles to say the ship's name. Becky recognizes it as *Princess Lorelei* and says she went on it before the start of school, mentioning how she stayed in the Imperial Suite. Anya is shocked and says she stayed in a "third-class prison cell." Emile laughs at her while Ewen remarks how Anya is not embarrassed to admit to staying in a lower-class suite. Anya hears their insults and reddens up in embarrassment and irritation.

The boys brag about their fancy escapades during their break, and Becky talks about how she had her father let her meet the famous starlet Rachel at a party. The other students gather around Becky, praising her and her family, and ask about her meeting with Rachel. Wanting a share of the attention, Anya gets up and exaggerates about the villains on the boat. The students ask about the villains, thinking they are from a show. Anya claims the villains were from foreign lands, making the students believe they are international movie stars and ask who was there. Anya decides to tell them about Sickle-and-Chain Barnaby, who she calls "Sickly Chain Bartebly."

The students have no idea what Anya is talking about and only ask more questions. Anya stammers around, talking about the abilities of the enemies. The students laugh at Anya, saying she got attacked by pirates. One of them points out how it would have been on the news, and Anya remembers how the incident on the cruise was covered up. She tells her classmates that the enemies were secret villains from beneath the sea: the "Octopeople." Anya tries to continue her story of slaying the Octopeople, but the students ignore her to ask Becky about Rachel. Watching from the side, Damian and his friends are impressed by how much Anya is making herself look like a fool. Their teacher walks in and tells the students to take their seats. He asks if the students made the most of their midterm break, and a student mentions Anya's story. The rest of the class bursts into laughter while Anya's face flushes in embarrassment.

At the end of the day, Becky comforts a gloomy Anya, saying she can understand the desire to make oneself look better. She says there is nothing wrong with it if it helps Anya to become the person she wants to be. While Anya is happy to hear this, George interjects, warning her not to lie too much lest she becomes an outcast like him.

At the Forger apartment, Yuri has arrived to see Yor. He jumps and shouts for joy as his sister gifts him a souvenir, and Loid wonders if he has to be so loud. When Anya returns home, Yor notices her glum demeanor and asks if something is wrong. After everyone sits in the living room, Anya tells the adults how her classmates mocked her for falsely boasting about her trip. Loid asks why she felt the need to lie in the first place, and she tells him that she wanted attention. In his thoughts, Loid lectures Anya on casually lying and how to lie. When he speaks, he ends up half-heartedly telling her that lying is wrong. Likewise, Yuri thinks about how he always deals with liars and how they are worthless trash. He then justifies his own lies, saying they are for Yor’s sake and that anything would be righteous if it was for her. When Yuri speaks, he agrees with Loid and says all liars are trash. Yor also agrees, telling Anya to be comfortable with herself and that she will get along better with everyone if she is honest. The room falls silent, and Anya says she will try to stop lying, as being a liar seems pretty rough.
