Chapter 123

## Mission 123: Spy Association President Kai Izumo

**Mission 123: Spy Association President Kai Izumo** (作戦 123. スパイ協会会長出雲灰, Supai Kyōkai Kaichō Izumo Kai) is the one hundred and twenty-third chapter of Hitsuji Gondaira's Mission: Yozakura Family.

## Summary

Kai Izumo introduces himself as the president of the Spy Association to Taiyo Asano and they sit down to drink tea and eat crackers. Izumo stares at Taiyo and gathers that Kyoichiro Yozakura must have accidentally harmed Taiyo after making a split-second decision to protect everyone. Taiyo is shocked that Izumo was able to figure out all that information. Izumo explains how Kyoichiro was the one who got him to become a spy and also the one who make him president after he had turned down the position. Izumo mentions how Kyoichiro had come by earlier before he went to face the past heads and brought him senbei crackers like normal, so the fact that he asked Taiyo to deliver some this time means he wants him to give Taiyo advice. Izumo has faith Kyoichiro will return and Taiyo is shocked to find out Kyoichiro has a good friend like this. Taiyo asked about their relationship and Izumo explains that they'd been good friends since middle school.

A flashback shows how they first became friends. Whilst changing for gym class Kyoichiro's hand which was covered by fake skin to hide his scars had come loose whilst changing, he tried to quickly cover it up without anyone noticing and Izumo came over and stood in front of him to cover despite not being anywhere near him before. Kyoichiro wanted to thank him for that, he had noticed he has been looking at him earlier so he must have been concerned for him. Kyoichiro also points out how he knew about the accident with Izumo and his family, where a car accident ended up killing them all apart from him. He also mentions how Izumo suffered a traumatic brain injury which led to his brain's sensory area exponentially developing, heightening all his senses. As a result, Izumo has to take drugs, wear earplugs and wear contacts to dull his senses. He apologises for looking up his history and invites him to become a spy so he can suppress and make the most of his new abilities.

Izumo mentions how he was happy that Kyoichiro reached out to him. Despite his having an aptitude for being a spy, Kyoichiro had no reason to have reached out to him and reveal the spy world's secrets to him. He guesses that Kyoichiro was just happy to have a friend with him. He says that Taiyo is the only one who can save Kyoichiro, saying that the Profuse Blooming of 10,000 Flowers is that power that can save him but to do that they'd have to face each other. He tells Taiyo that he is glad to have gotten to meet him and it feels like he's known him for so long.

Taiyo receives a phone call from Futaba Yozakura where she tells him to meet them at some coordinates sent by Shion Yozakura. She says that they've got Kyoichiro surrounded and we see all the siblings around Kyoichiro in a rocky field.
