Short Mission 14

Becky and Martha drop by the Forger home unannounced during the school break, and Becky invites Anya to the movies. Anya lobbies for an action picture, but Becky is set on Kiss Distance, the latest romance starring Rachel, an actress from Berlint in Love whom she adores. Framing the film as research into romance for Plan B wins Anya over, and with Yor invited along, the four head to the cinema.

On screen, Rachel's character and a punk named Ricky start as enemies, fall for each other, and hit an obstacle: his towering pompadour keeps blocking every kiss. Proclaiming his love the stronger force, Ricky douses the hairstyle with water, clearing the way for a long, passionate embrace. The audience reactions tell four different stories, with Yor flustered, Becky weeping, Martha stone-faced, and Anya out cold.

Outside afterward, Anya, having dozed through the romance, gushes over Ricky's cool moments and mimics his lines. Becky preaches that kissing solves everything, prompting a rattled Yor to ask Martha whether that much kissing is normal; Martha pleads no expertise. Becky's hopes for girl talk collapse entirely when Anya prefers being the protector in a relationship and Yor and Martha both side with her, leaving Becky the only romantic in the group.

Becky, Martha, Anya, and Yor attend a screening of Kiss Distance, Rachel's new romance film. The screening produces wildly mismatched reactions, with Anya sleeping through the love story. Post-movie discussion reveals Anya, Yor, and Martha all favor the protector's role in love, dashing Becky's dream of normal girl talk.

Numbered 105.1 and printed in Volume 15 within the Term Break Arc, the extra's status was confirmed by Endo in a September 9, 2024 announcement. The monster movie Anya wanted, Gobyzilla vs. King Chihuahua, spoofs Godzilla and King Ghidorah and possibly the film Godzilla vs. Kong. Rachel, first name-dropped by Becky in Chapter 57 and glimpsed in Chapter 105, gets a proper introduction here, and the film shown is the same one Franky watches with the racetrack teller in the preceding chapter.
