Plot

For an agent named “Twilight” Loid Forger, no mission is big or small if it is for the sake of peace. He operates as Westails’ master spy and has worked tirelessly to control radicals from sparking a war with bordering country Ostania. In his latest mission, he has to investigate Ostanian politician Donovan Desmond by infiltrating his son’s school, the reputable Eden Academy. To complete this mission he has to fake marry, get a fake child, and play a family man.

Twilight adopts an orphan named Anya, a six-year-old as his daughter and a student of Eden Academy. For his wife, he fake marries a woman named Yor Briar. She is an inattentive office worker who needs a partner to impress his friends or so it seems. In reality, Anya is an esper that allows her to read minds and Yor is a lethal assassin who goes by “thorn princess”.

Anya is excited to have cool parents as her family and for Yor to marry Loid is a perfect cover that keeps her identity hidden. Under the disguise of “The Forgers”, they must act like a family and carry out their agendas.
