The Current Arc is the fourteenth story arc in SPY x FAMILY.

The lives of Westalian agents in Ostania are put at risk after a mysterious mole steals classified documents, one of which includes operations in Ostania like Operation Strix. The intelligence services of the two countries begin the pursuit of the thief and the stolen files in the hope of getting to them first.

Yor's Gripe
At Berlint City Hall, Camilla and Millie get stuck working overtime. Luckily for them, Yor offers her help, and Sharon gets dragged along into helping as well. After finishing all their work, Camilla, Millie, and Sharon agree to go out for dinner, and Sharon invites Yor to join them. Yor agrees but quickly gets drunk, and the ladies discover a new side of Yor, which they find surprisingly hilarious and adorable. Camilla and Millie grill Yor for any gripes she has with Loid, but Yor cannot think of any, which they all find hard to believe. After the ladies share the gripes they have with their partners, Yor tries to fit in to appear normal, even attempting to drunkenly leave the restaurant with a butter knife to prove it. The girls accept Yor has a "lovey-dovey" marriage and tease her about getting intimate with Loid. Sharon tells Yor that a welcome home kiss is normal for couples, and Yor is shocked by this. When she returns home, Yor faints at the thought of giving Loid a welcome home kiss. After Loid catches her from falling, Yor ends up crashing around the house, to Loid's bewilderment.

The next day, Yor wakes up and worries that she made a fool of herself in front of Loid the night before. Meanwhile, Loid prepares Anya for her trip to the zoo with Becky. After Anya leaves with Becky and Martha, Loid sees Yor creeping into the living room. Loid remarks to Yor about how she overslept and worries to himself that because she unusually drank heavily, she must be dissatisfied with him. Simultaneously, Yor thinks back to her conversation about gripes with her co-workers and believes Loid is griping about her oversleeping, and thus concludes that she should have a gripe too. Loid decides to ask Yor to tell him if she has any concerns about their life together, which only furthers Yor's misunderstanding. Yor cannot think of anything and tries to be vague by saying that she has problems with everything, which astounds Loid.

Yor then declares to Loid that she is dissatisfied with their life together. As she says this, a recovered Yuri bursts in for an impromptu hangout and is shocked by what he hears. From this point on, Loid struggles to quickly resolve this problem with Yor as soon as possible, but Yor wants to have a problem, and all the while, Yuri antagonizes Loid. The discussion is interrupted after Loid gets an emergency call - and secret emergency code - from the hospital and promptly leaves. Believing that Loid could be having an affair, Yuri attempts to stalk him with Yor but is forced to withdraw after receiving an order for an emergency summons from his superior. Yor follows Loid to the hospital, but as she finally sobers up, she realizes that this whole thing is foolish and heads home.

At the hospital, Fiona tells Loid that they have an extreme situation: a mole from WISE HQ in Westalis has stolen important, top-secret files, one of which was a coded map regarding agents' operational activities in Ostania, including Operation Strix. At the same time, Yuri and other SSS agents are ordered by their boss to ensure the mole's security upon crossing the border.

The Chase for the Mole
The mole is revealed to be Winston Wheeler, a talented spy who effortlessly eludes his pursuers from WISE as he makes his way through the border. Even his abilities are praised by Twilight himself. As the agents make their way to Wheeler's supposed destination, Shellbury in northwest Ostania, Fiona is worried about the risk of this mission and she suggests pulling the plug on every operation in Ostania, then restarting with a clean slate. Loid refuses, saying that in Operation Strix's case, it would take years to get as close to Donovan Desmond again as they are now. Agents from both the SSS and WISE arrive at Shellbury, and Loid is ordered to keep the SSS from getting Winston. At the same time, Winston receives orders to meet at a predetermined location, the city's hotel. Winston scouts the area from afar and spots several WISE agents in disguise waiting for him. Winston encounters Yuri on the street and informs him that he will change the meeting location to a park. Winston successfully evades the agents waiting for him at the hotel as he arrives at the park, where SSS agents welcome him.

The agents ask for the file, but Winston wants to verify if they are really SSS. Winston is asked the same, and he tells them that his green tie and yellow gemstone tiepin was the signal that they specified. The agents report the color yellow to the Boss at HQ, who goes to chat with one of their members, Jeffrey. The Boss reveals to Jeffrey that the agents never specified the gemstone's color for their meeting with Wheeler, but told other agents a different color. This would reveal who was leaking their information, and the Boss proceeds to expose Jeffrey as the mole for WISE. Loid, who had been impersonating himself as Wheeler to buy his fellow agents time, gets outed, and the agents prepare to arrest him.

However, Loid is a step ahead, triggering several hidden traps around the park as he escapes. Loid then disguises himself as Yuri and tricks the agents into heading elsewhere. The real Yuri arrives in the area shortly after and notices that Twilight left a track behind leading to the sewers. Yuri gives chase but is almost killed by Loid, who hesitates when he recognizes him. Yuri is shocked to find Twilight posing at him, while Loid is shocked to see Yuri, and the two men shoot at each other. At the Forger home, Yor is still rattled by Yuri's suggestion that Loid is having an affair and wonders to herself if Loid will be coming home late.
