In fact, he didn't even know how many times he had sighed today.

Even when working, he was a bit distracted, all because of family matters, which were constantly on his mind.

Ayane found out about Aya's fondness for cross-dressing.

He had just recently realized that, despite his warnings, Aya hadn't given up this interest in cross-dressing. Instead, under Ichihime's deliberate guidance, it had become even more secretive. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Even after Ichihime left, this peculiar interest remained.

Unfortunately, once Ayane found out about this interest, it naturally caused an immediate explosion.

Originally, he thought he would enjoy a very wonderful evening with Ayane, but ended up spending the night out in the cold wind.

None of his children gave him any peace of mind.

Asuka used to seem relatively easy to care for, but lately, Asuka had also been continually asking how to become a special child... which made Hakushi wonder if there was something wrong with the family's feng shui.

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Generally speaking, nobody would be so rude as to enter without knocking.

But seeing who came in, Hakushi was relieved.

"Father!"

The girl who burst into the office might already have the appearance of a young lady.

Kazahana Koyuki was the girl's name.

The current Female Daimyo of the Land of Snow, the nominal ruler.

Of course, she was also his lovely and smart adopted daughter.

"Koyuki, why are you here? This shouldn't be a holiday in the Land of Snow, right?"

Moreover, there was no notification from his subordinates, which suggested that coming to the Land of Demons was Koyuki's own decision.

This girl was becoming bolder.

"Because I missed you, Father. Could it be that you don't welcome me, Koyuki, here?"

Koyuki ran to Hakushi's side, seemingly dissatisfied as she pouted.

"Your Highness, please don't make Mr. Hakushi uncomfortable. I apologize, Mr. Hakushi, for Her Highness's willfulness, please be a little lenient."

The panting man who followed her inside was Asama Sandayu, the minister of internal affairs of the Land of Snow, who assisted Koyuki, and he spoke to Hakushi with a wry smile.

"You came too, Sandayu."

Hakushi was fairly surprised.

Sandayu continued his wry smile and said, "There's no choice, Her Highness Koyuki was too willful this time."

"Really?" Hakushi rubbed his chin, looking at Koyuki, who was affectionately holding his arm, and finally said, "What problem have you given Sandayu this time? You're a Daimyo of the Land of Snow, after all, don't be so willful all the time."

"I'm not being willful, this is a thoroughly thought-out decision, Father."

Koyuki patted her chest, which had not developed, and spoke proudly.

"A decision?"

Hakushi was somewhat puzzled, and then looked at Sandayu, asking, "What is Koyuki's decision?"

"Ah, well, the decision is…"

Sandayu was momentarily unsure how to explain it to Hakushi and stammered unable to articulate it clearly.

"Koyuki, what is your decision?"

Hakushi was also very curious about what decision Koyuki had made that troubled Sandayu so much that it came to this.

If it wasn't something particularly excessive, Hakushi thought it might be fine to agree.

"An actress."

Koyuki uttered the words from her mouth.

"An actress?"

Hakushi seemed not to react, blinking and looking at Koyuki with an inexplicable gaze.

"Yes, Father, I've already decided. I plan to debut as a film actress! You'll support me, right, Father?"

Koyuki looked at Hakushi with a face full of anticipation, hoping he would support her decision.

"An actress…"

Hakushi picked up the cup on the table, took a light sip of tea, and fell silent.

"Um, Father… what's wrong?"

"No, nothing, I just wondered if I should visit the Shrine before going back tonight…"

"Shrine?"

Koyuki blinked her beautiful eyes, not understanding.

"The feng shui at home hasn't been good lately, it needs an exorcism."

Before Koyuki came, he was just suspicious. Now he was certain.

There was indeed some problem with the feng shui at home.

Originally it was just his own children, now even his adopted daughter was affected.

Choosing not to be a Daimyo of a nation but to become an actress…

Hakushi felt that if this continued, he would sooner or later suffer a stroke.
