Yor's swollen hands, souvenirs of an assassination she blames on a fire door, put her out of commission for a day. Yuri storms in to nurse his sister and instead wages a losing war of chores against Loid, until a bag of childhood whistle candy hands him a small, genuine victory.
Mission 68 of Tatsuya Endo's SPY x FAMILY was published on September 19, 2022, occupying 17 pages of Volume 11 within the Friendship Schemes Arc.
On assignment, Yor sends a target called Steel-Gut Gullickson flying off a dock with an open-palm blow, and by morning her hands have ballooned. To Loid and Anya she blames a fire door at work and prescribes herself a day of rest. Yuri then barges in, thrilled to spend his day off with his sister, spots her bandaged wrists, and instantly holds Loid responsible. He orders his brother-in-law to handle the cooking, which Loid does routinely anyway, and when Yor thanks Loid for his constant kindness in the kitchen, a praise-starved Yuri seizes the stove for himself.
Yuri turns out an oversized spread radiating a menacing aura, then spoon-feeds Yor his dish since she cannot grip a fork. Her uneasy expression betrays the truth she keeps to herself: either his cooking has slipped or Loid's meals have refined her palate. Wounded, Yuri insists Loid feed her next as proof of marital love, then erupts when Yor's blushing reaction arrives, shoving Anya into the feeding role instead. Anya asks how it tastes, and Yor pronounces it delicious.
Refusing to accept the loss, Yuri escalates into a gauntlet of household duels. Dishwashing goes to Loid on volume while Yuri leaves a trail of shattered plates, dropped in his euphoria at Yor's thanks. Contest after contest ends the same way, and Yuri begins doubting whether he can care for Yor better than Loid can. When the household runs out of detergent and garbage bags, he declares one final showdown: fastest shopping trip, best goods, lowest prices. Yuri sprints to a back-alley informant, badge out, demanding intelligence on bargain shopping, while Loid calmly plots an efficient route that includes replacing the broken dishes. Loid still gets home first.
Collapsed in defeat, Yuri spills his purchases, and Yor lifts out a package of whistle candy, the treat the siblings once blew in the mountains to frighten off bears. Her delight at the rediscovered snack moves Yuri to tears, and Loid graciously concedes that Yuri understands Yor best. The younger Briar declares total victory and departs beaming, leaving Yor to apologize for her brother's chaos.
Yor injures her hands eliminating Steel-Gut Gullickson and hides the cause from her family, claiming a workplace accident with a fire door.
Yuri arrives on his day off and challenges Loid to a series of domestic contests, cooking, feeding Yor, dishwashing, and a shopping race, losing every round.
