Spy x Family chapter 115 recap

Spy x Family chapter 115 saw SSS Director Wilker visit the Shopkeeper with three job requests. While the Shopkeeper rejected the first two requests, he was interested in the third request, which was to protect the Miteran Elk from poachers.

The anime later introduced fans to two new Garden members, Hemlock and Gympie. The two new members, alongside Yor Forger and Matthew McMahon, visited the shopkeeper for a meeting. During this, the Shopkeeper assigned Yor and Matthew to the poacher mission. Hemlock also volunteered to partake in the mission.

What to expect from Spy x Family chapter 116 (speculative)?

Spy x Family chapter 116 will most likely see Yor Forger make up an excuse for her absence during the mission in the forest. While Loid Forger might accept Yor's reasoning at face value, Anya might read her mother's mind to learn she had taken on another assassin mission.

Otherwise, the manga could directly switch its focus to the mission as the Thorn Princess, Hemlock, and Matthew McMahon dispatch for the mission. With that, fans can expect to learn how the poachers operate in the mission vicinity.
