Chapter 46

Mission 46 (: 46) is the forty-sixth chapter of the SPY x FAMILY manga, written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo. It was released on May 17, 2021.

Summary
The chapter opens in Berlint, where Camilla, Millie, and Sharon have an after-work meal at a pub. Millie complains about how lucky Yor is to be on the cruise trip, and Sharon reminds her that Yor is there to help out with a VIP. Millie asks why they did not pick her, and Camilla says that she heard that the VIP was bringing a child and was also from the same town as Yor. Millie expresses her envy, saying Yor is probably having a fancy dinner as they speak, while Sharon and Camilla are satisfied with their after-work beer and sausages.

On Princess Lorelei, the City Hall group and the Grey family have dinner at a fancy restaurant. While the men from City Hall chat about the splendid quality of the food, Yor and Furseal Grey fidget around, too nervous to taste anything. Matthew McMahon kicks Yor's chair and whispers to her to calm down. He reminds her that the enemy is smart enough not to attack in public and that her family is not allowed access to the restaurant, so she must relax and help sell their cover story.

After dinner, the men head down to the lower deck for more drinks while Yor escorts Olka and Gram back to their room. Once inside, Olka notes there has not been any sign of trouble the entire day, but Yor warns her that they must keep their guard up as they have no idea of where the enemy is or their plan. She predicts that the enemy will try attacking at the last possible minute, which will be the next day. Olka asks what everyone else will do if she manages to escape safely, and Yor explains their prepared cover story. Olka then asks if Yor will see her family after she completes her mission, as the ship will stop at a resort island on the third day. She suggests that Yor could use it to spend time with her family, but Yor is hesitant.

On the lower deck, Loid and Anya have dinner at a buffet, where Anya feverishly eats an array of food, hungry from playing all day. She then pauses and notes how strange it is to have dinner without Yor. Loid agrees with the sentiment but gets flustered when Anya calls him sappy. He then moves on to tell Anya to finish her food so they can return to their room.

Nearby, Furseal, Matthew, and the other men walk around after drinking at the bar. Matthew spots a man watching them, so he tells the others that he left something at the bar and leaves. The man continues to follow the group, and once he stands behind a corner, Matthew is there waiting for him. The assassin tries to attack him, but Matthew restrains the man and breaks his arm, covering his mouth to muffle the scream. Matthew starts interrogating the assassin, and after breaking his other arm and leg, learns of other assassins working independently to see who can finish the job first. The assassin says he got his intel from an informant who knows Olka's cover identity and cabin number. Matthew then kills the assassin, disposing of his body into the ocean.

Matthew catches up to the group and grabs Furseal, telling the others to rest up while he takes the man to his room. Matthew tells Furseal what he just learned, and says that because of the secrecy of the operation, there is no way the information could have leaked. Matthew asks Furseal if he made any contact with the outside world while hiding, and Furseal admits to making a goodbye phone call to his parents three days prior but swears that he did not tell them anything important. As they rush to the room, Matthew realizes that the enemy had no intention of waiting until the next day. Inside the cabin, Olka decides to get changed for the night when she and Yor hear someone knock on the door, and Yor wonders who it could be.

Trivia

 * The other name of the pub the City Hall ladies eat at, Yasui Pub, uses the Japanese word yasui (安い), which is "cheap" in English, literally meaning that the ladies are eating at a cheap pub.
