The Littlest Spy – Chapter 9, Act 2, Strip 19

The littlest spy, agent 00.25, in action. Very convenient that Akane has a kid sister who shares her devil-may-care attitude.

Although she wisely reserves the right to care at a later date, once she’s old enough to be allowed to understand what kind of operation she was involved here. At the moment she is, at least nominally, too young and innocent to do that, so she naturally thinks that an operation code-named “Brokeback Climax” is about somebody who hurt his neck while mountaineering. She will realize what that all was about later, and commiserate over her lost innocence with Youichi’s younger sister, who also got involved into this whole mess through no fault of her own. But that is another relationship, and it will be told another time (or likely never).

But for the moment, Mopey and her besties have gotten their hands on a very useful dossier of Youichi’s likes and dislikes. Should they prove able to decipher the crayon drawings, and plot necessity will enable them to do that, they will gain a wealth of useful intelligence. It would have been simpler if Youichi had had a heart of gold, but even a heart of meat has its proclivities…and there has to be an exploitable weakness somewhere.

More on Thursday.
