Chapter Text
“Where are we?”
Anya opened her eyes slowly as she blinked a few times to wake herself up. She was in a small theater room with several rows of seats and a huge screen. She bit her lips as her heart started beating up fast. However, she was quickly reassured when she saw her parents sitting beside her. “Where are we?” Loid stood up and almost took his gun out when Yor used her hand to block Anya so that she could protect her.
Anya felt a fluffy texture on her legs so she looked down. It was Bond! She immediately embraced him tightly, while Bond enjoyed her company as he was terrified about the sudden change of environment. “Bond! You’re here!”
“Mr. Forger/Mrs. Forger..?” she heard two familiar sounds coming from the left and right—It was Becky and Damian. Becky was on Loid’s side and Damian was on Yor’s side. Since today was a public holiday, both of them were wearing casual clothes.
“Becky! Sy-on!” She jumped up and faced them.
“Hey Anya.” they both waved. Becky ran straight to her while the other walked slower.
“Do you know where we are?” Becky asked while Damian raised his eyebrows.
Anya shrugged, showing that she didn’t either.
She heard other sounds so she turned around. Yuri was right at her back, while Fiona was on his left side. “WHERE ARE WE? SIS? WHY ARE YOU HERE?” Yuri screamed. Fiona patted him, “Will you calm down?”
“You are too loud, young man.” Sylvia was also next to him. She stared at him with annoyance.
The other one that sat next to Sylvia was Franky the informant. He laid back on the seat until the corner of his eyes reflected a new environment and Loid. “Where are we?” he shouted, though not as loud as Yuri.
“SUCH INELEGANCE TO SHOUT!” Henry Henderson was next to Fiona, saying in a quiet but firm tone. Yuri frowned, but as Yor put her finger on his mouth to tell Yuri to be quiet, he sat down without making any sounds. Oh my sis is here! She is the best sister!
Before anyone reacted, Loid turned around.”Where are we?”
A few seconds later, a mystery voice answered his questions. “Welcome to the theater room, Spy x family!”
“Who are you? What do you want from us?” Sylvia groaned. The kids hugged each other for safety while Loid and Yor were around them.
“No worries, I have no purpose of harming you. I just want you guys to watch the anime: Spy x Family!”
“What do you mean by that?” Fiona put her hand in the pocket, where she put her gun. Everyone also intended to take out their weapon.
“Believe it or not, but you are the major characters of the anime ‘Spy x Family’, which is about the lives of the Forger family. And today, I’m going to spill all the secrets out. Including secret identities and deep feelings.”
Everyone’s muscles become tense—Becky was the only exception. She didn’t hide any secrets or feelings behind, but when she examined others’ faces, including her idols and friends, she knew something was off.
“Now, Before starting, do any of you have enquires or requirements?”
“Can Anya have a more comfortable space and some blankets? Anya feels cold.” Anya shouted at the speaker. Then, the back of the seats in the front row rotates towards the Forgers. They connected with their seats and made it a large bed.
Loid glanced at the surroundings when he noticed a familiar backpack. It was full of blankets and dolls that Anya loved. As Anya wanted a comfy space, he took out all of them and placed them next to his little daughter, while Yor also helped build the space by opening the blankets and snacks for her, most of which were peanuts. After that, Loid took out a pack of tissues and water bottles near Anya so that she could reach for them at any time.
“Anya loves Papa and Mama! Anya feels so comfortable.”
It looks comfortable… Both of her friends were intrigued. Becky’s eyes were full of sparkles, while Damian never stopped looking at Anya. I wish my parents could take care of me like that…
Yor and Anya noticed both of them, especially the boy’s upset feelings. Anya reached out to them, "Do Becky and Sy-on want to sit next to me?”
Becky nodded without any thoughts and sat at Anya’s right side. Damian was taken back a little, but he also settled on Anya’s other side. The parents sat next to the kids. Bond was behind the kids, and his body made a great back for the kids to lay.
Yuri raised his right hand when everyone settled, “You can promise not to hurt anyone, right?”
“Of course. Again, If I wanted to hurt you, I would tie you up or even kill you already, so please don’t worry about it! Let’s start, shall we?”
The screen lit up. It showed an illustration that presented all 11 of them.
“It’s us!” Anya laughed and pointed to the screen.
“We look so cool!” the other kids echoed.
Some text appeared above the illustration.
Spy x Family. A famous anime that surrounds the fake family, which is none other than the Forgers.
“There's no way they are fake!” Damian protested. Becky nodded, “The Forgers look closer than any other family!”
Anya’s forehead was beaded with sweat, while Yor closed her eyes tightly. Loid tried to act like nothing happened, but Becky, who sat next to him, could feel his dreadness. Bond barked and leaned his head closer to Anya.
Everyone is hiding their identities and feelings. Maybe the person that sits next to you is a spy, an assassin, a secret police officer, or even an esper.
Loid and Yor bit their lips, and Yuri clenched his fists as the spies frowned. Anya hugged her Chimera tightly.
Meanwhile, the feelings of love, hatred, jealousy, and other unspoken feelings are still being hindered. They will all be exposed today.
Damian’s face became red, while his eyes had a bit of unshed tears. Loid and Yor blushed slightly.
Now, just wait patiently till everything is shown. A countdown appeared after the text.
