DIRTY LIAR

I love my job, I do. That said, there are times when it gets under my skin like a rash, and makes me wonder why I didnât listen to my mother and become an accountant. An accountant can work regular hours and go home every night secure that heâll be sleeping in his own bed. As a private detective in Tokyo, one of the most expensive cities in the world, my life is a cycle of feast and famine.
Then again, it was better than unemployment. My first case was for an ex-boyfriend, the one who left me for an arranged marriage when his parents made it clear that it was either that or kiss his trust fund good-bye. Not a year after the wedding, he asked me to find out if she was cheating on him. At the time I was face-to-face with eviction and eventual starvation, so I was willing to swallow my pride and forget what a sackless asshole he was. Within two days I had everything he needed. The wife was fucking his father, who arranged the whole marriage so that he could keep her as his mistress.
As fucked up as the case was, it kick-started my career. Word of mouth spread, and I became Japanâs go-to guy for cuckolded men. Given that I was openly gay, my clients didnât worry that I would take liberties with a promiscuous wife or lover. My friends even gave me a new title: Atsuto Honda, Slut Hunter. My cases were usually pretty straightforward, no pun intended. All I had to do was tail the woman long enough to catch her doing the wrong thing. Occasionally, I had to go undercover. My last job, for example, was to investigate a wife whose husband suspected her of sleeping with her boss.
Since the affair was in the workplace, I had to get a job at her company and blend in. That meant a new suit, no more jewelry, and a conservative haircut. Before that I had a goatee, long hair and pierced ears. The earrings were easy enough to put back in, but the haircut stung. I knew it would be months before I looked like myself again. After the case was over, and I proved the wife was riding her boss like he was an amusement park ride, I needed to lick my wounds so I collected my money and headed south to a ryokan, an old-style Japanese inn. Hell, if I was going to look like an upstanding citizen I was going to take advantage of it.
It was a bit of an extravagance. The ryokan was far from cheap, and I knew the bill would come around to bite me in the ass. Even so, the first day alone made it worth the money. Had I been a straight man, I could have definitely gotten myself into trouble. The women who brought me my meals and tended to my room were beautiful. Of course, I was more interested in the food.
