Spy x Family chapter 116 opened with Yor, McMahon, and Hemlock heading into the demilitarized zone of the forest. While McMahon described the area's unique ecology, his pet bird Keekee landed atop Hemlock's head. At that moment, McMahon explained that Keekee was his pet trained to scout the area.

Just as Yor began describing her pet dog Bond to McMahon, Hemlock questioned her if her domesticity had dulled her edge. This wasn't the first time Yor had heard this question, but she was confident that her marriage only strengthened her resolve. That's when McMahon reminded both Yor and Hemlock about his married life.

In response, Yor asked McMahon if he had kissed his wife when he returned home after a mission. McMahon revealed that he used to do so when he was young. Yor was shocked to hear that an assassin could maintain a romantic relationship, while Hemlock found it inappropriate.

Moments later, the three assassins hid their vehicle and headed into the forest on foot. During this, Hemlock confirmed who they were allowed to kill. He tried to turn it into a competition with Yor, but she immediately rejected the idea. Soon after, the assassins found a lead and located the Miteran Elk. Just as the beast was set to step on a poacher's trap, Hemlock scared it away.

Unfortunately, this did not help, as the Miteran Elk ran towards the poachers. Just as the poachers shot the beast and proceeded to switch to heavier artillery, the assassins sprang into action and eliminated the poachers one by one.

Amidst this, McMahon saved one poacher from Hemlock's kunai knife, hoping he could lead them to their base. While Yor was trying to help the Miteran Elk, the beast's injury made it furious. As the beast flung Yor into the air, Hemlock wanted to kill it.

That's when McMahon reminded Hemlock of their mission and asked him and Yor to direct the beast towards the river. Meanwhile, he was set to pursue the poacher to locate the enemy base.

After McMahon left, Yor Forger tried to tame the beast. Just then, Hemlock attacked her unexpectedly. His bloodlust was running high as he sought to harm the Thorn Princess.
