Mission 89 (: 89) is the eighty-ninth chapter of the SPY x FAMILY manga, written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo. It was released on October 30, 2023.

Summary
In a daze over the recent events that have happened to him, Yuri gets hit by a truck on his way to work. At SSS headquarters, he talks with the Lieutenant about how he has not seen Yor much recently and what his motivation is without her. Yuri is still upset over losing Twilight, but the Lieutenant assures him that after their encounter, the entire Secret Police is now scouring for suspects with the same wound as Twilight.

Chloe arrives with a potential suspect, but the man she has is a short and plump one. While it is not the man they are looking for, the Lieutenant has Yuri and Chloe interrogate him anyway. After reviewing the background of their suspect, Bobby Bockle, Yuri talks down to him and demands information on his organization, the Chicken Circle group. When Bobby refuses to answer, Yuri threatens him with torture. After Bobby reveals the Circle's headquarters, Yuri and Chloe head out to investigate it.

On the drive there, Chloe inquires Yuri about his recent mood. While they talk about Yuri's behavior back in their college days (which currently continues), Yuri suddenly hides himself in the car, having smelled Yor and heard her footsteps nearby, which creeps out Chloe. As they drive past a crosswalk, Yor is there, ready for her lunch break. Chloe learns that Yor is unaware of Yuri's job in the SSS, and when she suggests that Yuri could make something up if she had seen him, Yuri points out her presence, to which she says that they can pretend to be lovers. Yuri refuses the idea, saying that he could never do that to the woman who set aside her own happiness for him. Chloe is confused and says that she would want Yuri to find happiness if she was Yor.

The pair arrive at the Chicken Circle's base. Before Chloe can attempt a reconnaissance trip, Yuri charges in alone. Inside, Yuri fights all the group members, using fighting moves with "Yor" prefixed to them. Yuri gets injured during the scuffle, and while he stops to breathe, a member charges at him with a knife. Before Yuri is attacked, Chloe appears and defeats the man. Chloe slaps Yuri for his recklessness, reminding him that people like him can die. She asks Yuri how would Yor feel if he died and points out how everything he says he does is all for her, calling him a self-serving hypocrite. Chloe expresses admiration for Yuri's fortitude but says that it leaves him blind to too many things.

Yuri apologizes, and Chloe does the same, realizing she went a little overboard with him. Chloe tells Yuri that the way Yor supported Yuri might seem normal to him due to their time together but says there are other ways people can support each other. She instructs him to take better care of himself and be able to prove it to Yor. Remembering the time when he got sick as a kid, Yuri recalls Yor promising to get faster for his sake. This inspires Yuri to improve his defensive skills in evading and blocking, which baffles Chloe.

Yuri returns to his apartment to train when he gets a surprise visit from Yor. Yor reveals that she wanted to see Yuri again and to apologize for kicking him out last time when he was also hurt. For her apology, Yor brings Yuri some home cooking. While Yuri enjoys the food, Yor reveals that the fish he likes was made by Loid, causing Yuri to spit it out. Cursing Loid in his thoughts, Yuri wishes he was Twilight and wonders if he could find a reason to have him arrested and executed, believing Yor would not be sad about that. Yuri asks Yor about the time she said she was dissatisfied with Loid, to which Yor says that was a misunderstanding. When Yuri asks if she loves him, Yor stammers in response, and he concludes that she hates him.
