The Legendary Winery Boss’s Canary

Legend has it that there is a person in the Black Organization who is beautiful and frail, beloved by the Boss and confined by him deep inside the distillery, where no one can see him.

Faced with this rumor, which has stirred up enormous curiosity among both the red and black sides, Asaba Asa can only find it absurd.

"I was only his guardian for a while," Asaba Asa says coolly when everyone asks. "Of course, if a child is poorly raised, that's the father's fault. To make up for my mistake, I'll personally send him to the chopping block."

"...Um, actually, executions by guillotine have been abolished. Japan uses hanging now."

And also...

Looking into those glimmering, emerald-green eyes, everyone thinks it's only natural that such a rumor would spread :)

Canary wine: "canary" means a songbird.

In fact, the protagonist is just grape juice that somehow got slapped with a wine label :D
