Synopsis
A spy father × A psychic daughter × An assassin mother, world peace is entrusted to these three!? This is the story of three people who grew up without knowing what a "normal family" is, and their slightly unusual "temporary family".

It was the era of the Cold War, when the nations of the world were engaged in a fierce information war behind the scenes. In the neighboring eastern country of Ostania and the western country of Westalis, a temporary peace was maintained for more than ten years. "Twilight" is a highly skilled spy belonging to the Westalian Intelligence Services' Eastern-Focused Division (WISE), and has used his advanced intelligence skills to avert crises between the East and the West on numerous occasions. One day, Twilight was ordered on a top-secret mission to investigate the movements of Donovan Desmond, the president of the National Unity Party in the East, a dangerous figure who threatens the peace between East and West. The name of the operation is "Operation Strix". The mission was to "establish a family within a week, infiltrate a social gathering at a prestigious school that Desmond's son attends, and make contact with Desmond". Twilight poses as Loid Forger, a psychiatrist who is searching for a daughter and wife to start a family. He meets Anya, a candidate to become his "daughter", who is a psychic who can read minds, and Yor, a candidate to become his "wife," who is secretly an assassin. However, their interests coincide and they end up living together while hiding their true identities from each other. As expected, the daily life of the three "temporary family members" with unusual backgrounds is full of strange happenings. Sometimes they get caught up in major incidents and face their own enemies and challenges, but at any rate, world peace is entrusted to them as they do their best to pose as an "ordinary family"...
