On Christmas Eve, four-year-old Miri Unasaka arrives in Tokyo by herself, searching for her father. Drawn in by the city’s holiday glow, she wanders into a large hotel—and straight into the middle of a carefully laid assassination scheme targeting a dangerous mafia boss.

The hit is being carried out by Kazuki Kurusu and Rei Suwa, two professional assassins who share a home and keep others at arm’s length, each haunted by a harsh past. When the job goes off course and Miri ends up in their care, their plan is simple: get her back to her mother. But Miri’s openhearted laughter and unfiltered view of the world begin to soften Kazuki—and, before long, even Rei starts to let his guard down.

With Miri’s boundless energy turning daily life into an unpredictable challenge, Kazuki and Rei discover that childcare can be tougher than any mission. Even as it threatens their work, the two men—both answering to “papa”—choose to give Miri the ordinary, happy childhood she deserves.
