Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Anime Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Yamashita, Author: Tang Song Yuan Ming Qing's Hair

A reincarnated Tokyo boy awakens his memories of his past life.

I discovered that the girl next door is named "Kasumigaoka Utaha," my childhood friend is named "Kato Megumi," my online friend I chat with frequently is named "Kashiwagi Eri," and there's an upperclassman at school named "Sakurajima Mai," who used to be a very popular celebrity...

But before sorting out these relationships, the orphaned boy first needs to fill his stomach.

In the cramped rental room

The thin boy slowly wrote a name on the white paper...

No Longer Human

……

Kasumigaoka Utaha: A writer? I wouldn't dare say that in front of Kitahara-kun!

Eriri: Kitahara, please help me write the story plot!

Megumi Kato: A house, two people, three meals a day, four seasons—as long as Kitahara-kun is there, that's enough!

Mai Sakurajima: During those terrifying and gloomy days, Kitahara-kun was like a guiding light, saving me. It was a stroke of luck that I will never forget!

Chapter 1: Boy, Copying Books, Making Money

"Ouch, my head hurts so much..."

In a cramped rental room in Tokyo.

The boy propped himself up on the bed with one hand, feeling a slight stinging sensation in his head, as if needles were pricking it, and his handsome face was pale.

Memories flooded my mind like a tsunami, playing out scene by scene like a slideshow.

"I am... Chen Mo!"

"That's true... Kitahara Makoto!"

Feeling the memories of his past life, Kitahara Makoto rubbed his temples with his fingers.

It took him more than ten years after his rebirth to awaken his past life's wisdom, which was really slow. Fortunately, he finally did awaken it in the end, which at least injected a glimmer of hope into his life, which was as calm as a stagnant pool.

"Gululu..."

His stomach suddenly swelled up like thunder, and the intense hunger made him feel agitated.

I had no choice but to get out of bed, get some instant noodles, boil water, and add more water...

It's not that he can't cook, nor that he doesn't want to eat something good.

He eats instant noodles simply because he's poor!

A few minutes later.

"call……"

Setting down the empty instant noodle container, Kitahara Makoto let out a comfortable breath of hot air and slowly leaned back in his chair.

With his stomach full, the terrible hunger subsided, and his brain was finally able to think.

After considering his current situation, he realized that he had a very important problem in front of him.

I'm short of money!

Next month's rent, living expenses, university tuition...

He used to work at a convenience store.

But yesterday, one of the boss's relatives from the countryside came to stay with him.

Then he was fired from his temporary job.

In his frustration, he bought a bottle of beer for the first time in his life. However, he couldn't hold his liquor and became drunk, which awakened his memories of his past life.

"Damn it, this awful world!"

Kitahara looked at the cramped rented room in front of him with frustration.

The space was not only small, but also poorly lit, dark and damp, and looked terrible.

But he had no choice. Having lost both his parents at a young age, he insisted on living alone and could only choose this place because it was cheap!

After complaining about his heartless boss, Kitahara Makoto began to seriously consider ways to solve the problem.

In this life, he is just an ordinary high school student. Although he is handsome with delicate features and fair skin, he doesn't have any good money-making skills besides manual labor, so he still has to rely on his old profession from his previous life.

In his previous life, he was a literary editor at a publishing house.

I've always had a dream of becoming a writer, but unfortunately, my talent is limited, and I haven't succeeded in pursuing my dream for ten years.

In the end, he had no choice but to become a literary editor, a job he held for five or six years.

Therefore, he is very proficient in the editing industry.

Kitahara Makoto began to carefully recall his old profession.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

It's all so clear, all the memories are so clear.

It was so clear, it felt like it was happening right before my eyes.

He even remembered the details of a certain year and month when he had a hotel room with a certain artsy young woman to discuss literature.

It's like he's cheating; his brain seems to have turned into a computer hard drive.

Not only can it remember everything it sees, but it can also be used anytime.

Furthermore, Kitahara Makoto discovered something was off about this world while searching his memories!

Some of these claims are ambiguous.

The original people are still the same people, but some of the famous 'works' that should have appeared are missing, while a few 'people' that shouldn't exist have appeared!

For example, some of the famous Japanese literary works that Kitahara Makoto read in his previous life as a literary editor did not appear in this life.

However, according to the timeline, it is now the new millennium, and they should have been published long ago.

And then there's my superhuman memory...

Kitahara Makoto's eyes lit up instantly.

He seemed to see a road to unlimited wealth appear before him.

He immediately sat up from his chair, grabbed a pen and paper, and began to write a passage on it...

にんげんしっかく

The translation is...

No Longer Human!

……

“I once saw three photos of that man. The first one could be described as a photo of him when he was a child…”

"...My pride wouldn't allow me to tell anyone about these devastating days, but only I know that, in just one night, my heart was completely transformed..."

"...If one can avoid intense joy, then naturally sorrow will not follow..."

"I'm sorry for being born a human!"

No Longer Human is the representative work of Osamu Dazai, a master of the Buraiha school of literature who is on par with Yasunari Kawabata and Yukio Mishima in the Japanese literary world. It is also a semi-autobiographical work by Dazai.

This book takes the concept of "mono no aware" (the pathos of things) in Japanese culture to its extreme and has had a tremendous influence.

The phrase "I'm sorry for being born" has become a motto for countless young people across the ocean to express their confusion about youth.

Even across the ocean, this book is consistently ranked among the top fifty in terms of popularity.

Moreover, this book laid the foundation for the postwar development of Japanese literature.

Both Osamu Dazai himself and the book "No Longer Human" are figures that cannot be ignored in the modern and contemporary Japanese literary world.

Of course, most importantly, this book also achieved a staggering total sales of over 6 million copies.

It once surpassed the sales of Natsume Soseki's masterpiece "Kokoro," a work by a writer hailed as a "national author."

This is also why Kitahara Makoto chose to copy this book first!

Nothing happened all night.

Kitahara Makoto copied the book until well past midnight before finally climbing into bed and falling into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, my memory of what I had seen before was incredibly clear, and the work progressed very smoothly.

Chapter Two: Childhood Sweethearts, Two?

The next day, Monday, was school.

Kitahara Makoto got out of bed as the alarm clock rang.

I had just finished washing up when the doorbell rang.

I put on my school uniform and opened the door.

Bright light shone in from outside.

A gentle breeze stirred, softly ruffling the girl's long hair.

Kitahara Makoto looked at the girl in front of him.

She had long, straight, jet-black hair, fair and smooth skin, and wore a sailor uniform. She was well-endowed, and tight black stockings outlined her long, straight legs.

Most importantly, she has a pair of bright and captivating eyes, so watery they seem to speak volumes, instantly winning people's hearts.

Kasumigaoka Utaha lives on the street behind him. She is a year older than him and a grade higher. She is his senior and one of his childhood friends who grew up together!

"Good morning, Kitahara."

Good morning, Sister Xiaoyu.

Kitahara Shinshin felt something was off.

Before his memories were awakened, he only regarded Kasumigaoka Utaha as an ordinary girl next door, an ordinary childhood friend, at most someone who was very beautiful and alluring.

It turns out that the girl is actually a character from an anime, someone who shouldn't even exist!

Of course, this anomaly was only fleeting and quickly returned to normal.

Having spent over a decade together, no one knew better than him whether Kasumigaoka Utaha was real or not.

Even when it comes to understanding Kasumigaoka Utaha, aside from her parents, he dares to say he's number one, no one dares to say they're number two, after all, they took a bath together when they were little... cough cough...

"Kitahara, it's time to go to school!"

Seeing that Kitahara Makoto still seemed a little sleepy, Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly reminded him.

"Oh well."

Coming to his senses, Kitahara Makoto slung his bag over his shoulder, locked the door, and went downstairs with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Here, I bought too much breakfast today, let's eat together."

As Kasumigaoka Utaha walked, she casually took out a breakfast and handed it to Kitahara Makoto.

It includes a bottle of milk, a sandwich, an egg, and a piece of date cake.

"Thank you."

Kitahara Shin didn't refuse and reached out to stuff the jujube cake into his mouth.

As his childhood friend, Kasumigaoka Utaha knew about his financial difficulties.

So, to relieve his stress, the young lady would often feed him in various ways.

Kitahara Makoto was already used to this kind of thing.

Of course, this does not mean that he is content to live off a woman.
