Chapter 114 Summary: A Surprising Proposition from Yuri
Chapter 114 opens with Yuri Briar interrogating several extremists as part of his responsibilities at the State Secret Service. As he and his colleagues finish their shift, the Chief invites them out for drinks, but Yuri turns down the offer, prioritizing his dinner date with Yor instead.
The siblings had not shared quality time in a while, so they opted to have dinner together. Before heading to the restaurant, they made a stop at a department store. Yor was taken aback by the high prices of items, leading Yuri to impulsively rush to buy a decorative piece she showed interest in—only to be stopped by Yor, who insisted she didn’t truly want it.
Yuri, suspecting that Loid restrained Yor from indulging in simple pleasures, encouraged her to allow herself some enjoyment and suggested that he could buy her anything she fancied. Although Yor was reluctant to accept anything for herself, she expressed her desire to buy essentials for Anya, such as new towels and a toothbrush for Loid. Hence, Yuri suggested they shift their focus to dinner.
As the dining experience unfolds, Yuri notices that Yor opts for Apple Juice, interpreting it as a sign that she is prohibited from drinking alcohol due to her home responsibilities. When Yor explains her behavior under the influence, Yuri feels alarmed and urges her to avoid alcohol altogether.
During their dinner conversation, Yuri expresses concern that Yor has become merely a caregiver for the Forger family. However, she reassures him, revealing that she enjoys taking care of Anya, which brings back fond memories of their childhood. Feeling that Yor sacrificed too much for his sake, Yuri expresses his wish for her happiness.
Yor reflects on their past struggles and emphasizes that despite the challenges, her time caring for him remains cherished. She expresses her loneliness following his success, but also her fulfillment since becoming part of the Forger family, where she has gained a sense of belonging and admiration for her brother’s achievements.
Despite being surrounded by the Forger family, Yuri reveals his continued feelings of loneliness and expresses a desire for Yor to take care of him. However, their dining experience is cut short when the restaurant staff asks them to leave due to Yuri’s disruptive behavior. Before departing, he proposes a trip back to their hometown, Nelsberg. Although they both find the idea appealing, work commitments hold them back. Before they part ways, Yuri gifts Yor a special present he had purchased.
Returning to his apartment, Yuri savors the spice cakes he had acquired earlier. As he enjoys the treat, he reflects on his past yearning to see Yor smile daily, which stirs confusion about his persistent feelings of isolation. He recognizes that despite the Forgers’ presence, he feels distanced from Yor because of the secrets tied to his job.
Shortly after, Yuri receives a call from the SSS Lieutenant, inviting him out for drinks with Chloe and their colleagues. Eagerly, Yuri accepts, hinting at potential new interactions that may pave the way for reconciliation with his feelings.
