Spy X Family Chapter 117 Delayed As Short Mission Takes It’s Place—New Release Date, Recap And More

Last week, fans were anticipating the release of Spy X Family Chapter 117, but were instead presented with a brief bonus chapter, which left some feeling let down. Despite the unexpected update, there’s no reason to worry, as the official release date for the upcoming chapter has been confirmed.

Short Mission 16: Extra chapter recap

Set before the Princess Lorelei mission, Short Mission 16 follows Matthew’s morning with his wife, Maureen, who scolds him for relaxing before work. After confirming his chores are done, she hands him lunch. At city hall, Dominic comments on Matthew’s wife’s cooking, prompting banter about food.

At home, Matthew feeds Keekee and reflects on his killings. Before departing, he asks Maureen to care for Keekee. After the mission, Matthew returns injured, refusing to quit despite Maureen’s concern. She prepares dinner, and he praises her cooking, then gives her souvenirs.

Expected plot in Spy X Family Chapter 117

Spy X Family Chapter 117 may begin with Yor countering Hemlock’s attack while trying to lead the elk to safety. Despite Hemlock’s aggression, Yor will likely avoid seriously harming him, mindful of mission priorities. Meanwhile, Matthew could locate the poachers’ hideout and gather key intel about their operations and leader.

He may dispatch Keekee to summon the others. Additional poachers or border control agents may appear, increasing the threat level. This could force the assassins to split tasks—rescue the elk, subdue the enemy, and protect vital information about illegal cross-border activity.
