See the answer
a heartbreaker for parents
There’s a hiragana “se” in the middle of the kanji for “parent.” There aren’t any other hints, so we have to reach the answer with just this… Hmm. “Oya no naka ni se” (se inside parent) → transforms to “oyanaka se,” and the answer is “oyanakase” (parent-teaser/parent-troubling), meaning “something that causes parents grief.” Please be sure not to do anything that worries your parents!
