Recapitulating Chapter 115: Beginning of a new mission
The previous chapter began a new mission involving director Wilker, a SSS security agency figure, and the mysterious Shopkeeper, leader of the Secret Garden organization. Wilker submits three requests to Shopkeeper, the first two being rejected, but the third, the protection of the rare creature known as Miteran Elk, catches the attention of the organization.
During the meeting, Shopkeeper officially presented the mission to the new Garden members: Hemlock and Gympie. Thus, alongside Yor Forger and Matthew McMahon, they assumed the task of protecting the Miteran Elk creature against illegal hunters. Despite maintaining the details confidential, the mission has been risky from the beginning.
Hemlock, who volunteers for the operation, adds an extra layer of complexity and charisma to the team, while the role of Yor as a professional killer (the "Thorn Princess") is essential for the development of the plot.
What to expect from Spy x Family chapter 116?

Forgers' daily life and Yor's excuse: As usual, Yor will need to invent a plausible justification for his absence at home. Loid Forger, a disguised spy and a façade husband, will probably accept the explanation without question, while Anya, with her ability to read minds, can perceive the true nature of her mother's mission.
The beginning of the operation in the forest: There is high expectation that the chapter focuses on the dynamics between Yor, Hemlock and Matthew during the patrol. Thus, this can be the perfect opportunity for the author to deepen the bonds and skills of Garden members, revealing new secrets about the organization and expanding the universe of espionage of the work.
In addition, the threat of illegal hunters promises to bring action and tension to the plot, which can culminate in new combat, moral dilemmas and unexpected twists.
