* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: She gives her cash card and her bank book to her uncle and her aunt-in-law, as means for them to help Kaori out when she passes away. Except that they turn out to be ruthless embezzlers planning to steal all of it from her bank accounts for their purposes. It doesn't help the fact that both of them actually [[AbusiveParents do not treat her well]]. Nyaa is far less pleased with this.

But she has no problems getting used to ''both'' the conventions between two worlds with chronologically different eras.

* {{Jerkass}}: His rather immature, jerkish personality as Kaori's adopted father is often a source of headache for her.
