Bonus Comic[]
In a scene from their childhood, Yor feeds Yuri her homemade omelet rice, which he happily eats up before vomiting. Yor also serves him her pasta and cake, both ending in the same result. After eating, Yuri compliments his sister's cooking, saying she will land a husband in no time. Embarrassed, Yor slaps Yuri and ends up throwing him across the room. All this helped Yuri develop a strong body.
In the present, the SSS Lieutenant remarks on Yuri's resilience, noting how he had been hit by a truck the other day while being light-headed after pulling four all-nighters in a row. He warns Yuri to be careful, but the young man insists he is fine.
Author's Notes[]
| “ | He may write a manga about an intelligence agent (is that what this is?), but the creator himself is a deeply uninformed person. He knows basically nothing of the world. | ” |
| “ | I hate summer. It leaves me exhausted, mentally and physically. We should be firmly in winter by the time the next volume comes out, so I'll just have to endure till then. We're living in a difficult time, in all sorts of ways, so please take care of yourselves. | ” |

Trivia[]
- In Volume 5's cover art, Yuri Briar is seated on a Barcelona chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich. Hidden underneath the chair is Yuri's SSS equipment.
- Endo chose this chair for Yuri as he could not think of one that would fit the character, so he went with the basic Barcelona chair. Due to Yuri's dark uniform, Endo also made the color of the chair a brighter brown to make it stand out, as the chairs are typically black.[3]
- Yuri is seen holding a bouquet of orchids, which he brought to the Forger home during his first visit there.
- In the English version of Key Person Page, Becky's surname is written incorrectly as "Blackwell" instead of "Blackbell." This error first appears in Volume 3 and is fixed starting from Volume 10.
- This volume's bonus comic was later adapted in Episode 17 of the anime.
