The Winery Heir Is Still Worrying Himself Sick Over Scotland Today

My name is Yujimiya Akiya, but my registered name is Karasuma Akiya. I'm the adopted son of the tycoon Karasuma Renya.

My adoptive father, Karasuma Renya, founded an organization that recruits talented people from all over the world to help us take care of some things... that simply have to be done. You know, like wearing rubber gloves when cleaning up kitchen scraps: convenient, quick, and hygienic.

And what do you do with used gloves? Throw them away, of course. Would you keep dirty gloves in your house?

...You would? Officer, you're a strange one.

My life should have been carefree, with everything going my way. In the jujutsu world, I'm the young master of the Karasuma family, the fourth of the Big Three. Outside the jujutsu world, I'm the heir to the Karasuma family, which controls half the wealth in the entire world.

Officer, did you know that my seventh birthday present was the deed to an entire shopping district in Roppongi, Tokyo?

Why was that my seventh birthday? Because I awakened the Karasuma family's inherited technique that year, and that's why Karasuma Renya adopted me.

...No, no, don't look at me like that. I'm not some poor, miserable child with a tragic childhood. My birth family, the Yujimiya clan, is a fabulously wealthy household, and we own farmland across an entire mountain in Nagano Prefecture. Joining the Karasuma family wasn't a lifeline for me. It was just the icing on the cake.

Where were we? Right, my life should have been...

...if I hadn't met Morofushi Hiromitsu when I was six.

Who is Morofushi Hiromitsu? Officer, you don't know him? He graduated at the top of his class from the police academy, is a capable agent in Public Security, a blade driven into the heart of the organization, Scotch Whisky, and my lover.

...I said, don't look at me like that. I'm not some poor fool deceived by his lover.

Did you forget? I met him when I was six.

From beginning to end, I knew exactly who he was.

I knew why he had infiltrated the organization, that he was secretly passing information to Public Security, who his handler and his accomplices were, what he was about to do, and when he would be exposed.

In the end, I put a bullet in his chest with my own hands.

Officer, why are you shaking?

What, you're going to call your colleagues to arrest me?

All right, all right, I understand. Officer, please forget everything I've told you today.

Forget Yujimiya Akiya. Forget Karasuma Renya. Forget Morofushi Hiromitsu. Forget the strange man who appeared out of nowhere in the interrogation room.

My confession is over. It's time to return to my real life.

My life? Just like yours, Officer. I live with my lover. Tonight we're having beef curry stew, and I came out to buy paprika.

My lover is a wonderful cook. It's a shame I can't invite you to try it.

That's right, Officer. Even a terrible sinner like me has found happiness.

The organization? It still exists, only now it's sunk deeper into the darkness, never to appear in Public Security's sight again.

My lover? I saved him from the organization. He doesn't know who I am. He thinks I'm a childhood friend he lost touch with long ago. After I pursued him persistently, he finally agreed to be with me.

Goodbye, Officer.

I hope you, too, can enjoy the happy life you've always dreamed of.

Yours faithfully, Yujimiya Akiya.
