Chapter 172

## Mission 172: I'm Sorry

**Mission 172: I'm Sorry** (作戦 172. ごめんね, *Gomen ne*) is the one hundred and seventy-second chapter of Hitsuji Gondaira's Mission: Yozakura Family.

## Summary

Hifumi Yozakura goes off looking for the people she saw on the wanted poster, despite not being able to read it. Alpha Yozakura uses his Alpha Watch to grab and stop Hifumi. Alpha suspects that Hifumi tried to run away from home after feeling like she was harming Alpha's life, which she confirms. She shows Alpha the wanted poster, asking if they're their relatives, but Alpha says that they don't have any. Alpha then reads the "wanted dead and alive" part of the poster, realising the danger. Multiple mechanical tentacles then come out from the ground and trap the twins in a ball.

Two villains arrive, one wearing a paper bag rushes in to attack them but the other with one eye stops him, saying not to underestimate them despite only being 4 years old as they're still from the Yozakura Family. He also mentions how their bounties were only posted 10 minutes and 51 seconds ago. As the other villain questions his reasonings, the twins break out of the ball using the Alpha Watch and Hifumi Yo-yo. Alpha uses the Alpha Watch to produce a flashbang and they both escape. The paper bag villain revels in the idea of hunting them down, and the one-eyed villain stares at him.

Alpha uses his watch to send an S.O.S. message to Taiyo Yozakura through a payphone, due to his watch's signal being jammed by the villains. They look at the wanted poster again, questioning who the other people on it are. Alpha worries about their survival and Hifumi begins to cry. She says how happy it made her to see that she may have a family to relate to, hoping they could teach her how to be a good sister which led her to run away. She's upset that she's messed things up again, making it harder for Alpha to live a normal life. She calls herself a bad sister and wraps Alpha with her yo-yo and tosses him in a tree, letting him be quiet.

The villains arrive at their location, but the one-eyed villain has killed the paper bag villain with his tentacles, stating how being allied with him was a mistake. He asks Hifumi to turn herself in, but she refuses and prepares to fight. The villain attacks with his tentacles, but Hifumi uses "Swirly-Whirly" with her yo-yo to destroy them. The villain suggests that the yo-yo is made out of Steel Spider and Sakuragane alloy, making it powerful. He also says how she's displaying the skill of a top silver-rank spy, but as he's a former gold rank she's no issue for him. He grabs and breaks her yo-yo and his tentacles close in around her. Right before they make contact with her, she is pulled out of the way by Alpha with his watch. He launches himself towards them, using the "rook" attack to fire an electric beam at the villain who blocks it. His tentacles close in on Alpha, breaking his watch. He states how he knew that Alpha would go and save Hifumi as the two lay helpless on the ground. He plans to capture them alive but injured enough to not escape and sends his tentacles onto them.

A voice is heard in the dust cloud, apologising for not stopping them from leaving right after the poster was published and calls himself a failure of a father. He says that Mutsumi is waiting at home with cocoa, and we see that it is Taiyo who has arrived and saved the kids, wielding Yae: Rain and using his Hardening.
