The series features "Twilight," or Loid Forger, a skilled spy undertaking espionage missions for a better world. He receives a special mission: "Form a family and infiltrate a certain prestigious school's parent-teacher association." Disguised as a psychiatrist, Twilight forms a family, meeting his daughter Anya, who can read minds, and his wife Yor, who is an assassin.

In the "Luxury Liner Arc," Yor acts independently from the rest of the Forger family, protecting a mafia target aboard a luxury liner.

--- With the combat scenes concluded, what scenes have surprised you with Yor's physical abilities?

[Hayami] I'm always amazed (laughs). There was a story where Yor delivers Anya's forgotten item to school, leaping between buildings. That scene was action-packed and very cool.

--- Episode 34 also featured a memorable scene where the family takes time off for a vacation.

[Hayami] That's at the end of the story. Generally, recordings were mostly with the "Luxury Liner Arc" members, where we could deepen our bonds. At the end of the last recording, Ayana Endo, who plays Orca, jokingly said, "Thanks for protecting me," which warmed my heart.

--- So, for you as well, the recording session felt like completing a mission. At the end, Matthew grants them a vacation as a reward for mission completion. There was a line where Yor declares, "I won't wear a swimsuit or anything...!!" Do you have any outfits you'd like to see Yor in?

[Hayami] During this mission, she dressed up stylishly, and her bashfulness was very cute. I'd like to see her in styles she normally wouldn't wear... Perhaps a cute, frilly dress. Since she prioritizes functionality in her clothing, it would be interesting to see her in something hard to move in.
