Chapter 85

## Mission 85: Graveside

**Mission 85: Graveside** (作戦 85.墓前, Bozen) is the eighty-fifth chapter of Hitsuji Gondaira's Mission: Yozakura Family.

Ban confronts Momo and the mission is wrapped up, with everyone returning to their daily lives.

## Summary

Ban meets Momo at the cove of the island, he mentions how Momo had no interest in helping Kawashita and it seems like he planned to watch him get defeated and leave. He realises that the only thing Momo cares about is Rei's heart, which Momo has in a case. Ban asks for his daughter's heart but Momo states that it belongs to him and Rei. Ban pretends to accept his answer before activating his Passage and firing at Momo. Momo however used one hand to block the bullet, the force of which broke through the rocks behind him and parting the sea. Shion, Mutsumi and Keiko feel the force of Bans attack as well as seeing the sea part, but it seems like only Keiko knows that it's Ban's doing. Momo's hand has leaves coming from it and seems to absorb the bullet, he mentions how he couldn't absorb the entire attack before saying his goodbyes and turning into petals, off into the wind.

A written report of the mission mentions that Kawashita was successfully apprehended for his numerous crimes and the Spy Association, Police and other organizations will decide what to do with him. The Fate of the other captured members of Tanpopo is also being considered, which is also considering their extenuating circumstances. After their trials and plea bargains, they will be protected and monitored by each of the groups in charge. We see Kurosawa who has his body back but restrained, as well as Rin who has Ai in a bedroom of toys. The report is finished and signed by Mutsumi who spend the night typing it up, it's now 7am and she heads off to tidy "the grave".

She walks past various rooms in the Yozakura Manor. We see Futaba juggling Kengo as he tries to escape using his Kengo-Chans, she's been keeping him up for 3 days. Shinzo is using his Turmeric as a massage chair for Ayaka and Nanao. Kyoichiro tries to get Mutsumi to hang out with him, but she tells Goliath to stop him. As she heads to the forest outside she walks past Shion, Ban and Keiko who are scaring away the moles underground using Shion's analysis and Bans Passage.

Mutsumi sees Taiyo at the graveside weeding the grass, she tries to sneak up behind him to scare him but he could notice her from 100 meters away. She thanks him for doing the weeding and he apologises for not knowing how to do the offering properly. She tells him how it's perfect and that blue carnations are her and her mother's flowers, Despite Rei's passing her blood still resonates with them and she can sense her presence. She tells him how she couldn't believe that he hid his mission to retrieve Rei from her, and we see that when Futaba found out she attacked Kyoichiro as he took the blame. Taiyo laments at not being able to find information on Momo and swears he'll finish the job. Mutsumi thanks him and they sit together in front of Rei's grave as the mission is finished.
