Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

In addition to the royalties earned from the previous two reprints.

In just half a month since the release of the single volume, he has earned 1.45 million yen.

Earning over 100 million a year is achieved instantly.

Although some of it is subject to taxation.

However, this amount of money is enough for him to buy a large house in Tokyo.

"Damn, that's over 40 million yen, and the personal income tax rate is over 45%."

"This is outrageous!"

"No, I need to start a company before the next reprint contract, otherwise paying so much money to the Japanese government every year is a huge loss."

Inside a Michelin three-star restaurant.

After calculating the taxes he needed to pay, Kitahara Makoto immediately decided to start a company.

Forty-five million out of one hundred million—who the hell can afford that?

Moreover, starting a company will help him carry out his next plan.

As a reincarnated being.

Kitahara may enjoy life, but that doesn't mean he'll be a lazy, complacent parasite.

They have the opportunity to stir up trouble and gain glory and power they never had in their previous lives.

He won't miss it.

Writing books was just the first step in his money-making scheme!

Chapter Twenty: The World Will Tell You My Name

After paying personal income tax.

Kitahara Makoto immediately began working on setting up the company.

Because it's just a small company that's essentially a studio.

This kind of thing is simple.

There are many intermediary companies on the market that specialize in doing this for people.

So Kitahara Makoto inquired around and entrusted the matter to a reputable intermediary company in the industry.

The second thing is to allocate a large portion of personal funds.

They then used all of these funds to buy Bitcoin, and shares in Apple and Amazon.

People of this era would never have imagined that these investments would later yield returns of over a hundredfold.

However, for Kitahara Makoto, these investments were merely a form of security, not his primary means of making money.

These are just to ensure that no matter how recklessly he goes in the future, he can still succeed.

Even if we unfortunately fail.

They can also live an incredibly wealthy life.

But if you want more, you still have to start your own business and open a company.

Only after gaining sufficient influence.

It concerns the basic needs of hundreds of thousands of people, including their food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

No one will treat you like a 'golden pig'.

Fatten them up, then kill them!

……

After the offline autograph session ended.

The promotion of "No Longer Human" has also entered a period of lull.

The period when readers were most eager to buy has passed.

Next came the 'slow and steady' stage.

Although daily sales are not as alarming as they were at the beginning of the release.

However, sales have stabilized, and the number sold each month remains quite substantial.

Moreover, the quality of literature, unlike romance, light novels, and comics, doesn't have a short lifespan.

Literature has a very long lifespan, and strong literary quality can withstand repeated viewing, contemplation, and scrutiny.

Like fast food, which appeared around the same time as "One Hundred Years of Solitude," none of them are known to modern people.

But One Hundred Years of Solitude still exists.

Moreover, it has always stood tall in the pantheon of world literature, transcending time and eras.

It is still admired by countless people even now.

To put it aptly, it is...

Traditional literature is like a jar of wine, while fast-food literature is like a cup of milk tea.

You drank the milk tea and thought it was novel and delicious.

But in reality, you'll forget it after a while; you don't really remember it at all.

But wine is different.

It won't become bland or lose its appeal over time.

On the contrary, it gets better with age.

Let time prove it.

True gold is not afraid of fire.

This is the charm of traditional literature.

The influence of commercial articles is at most limited to one generation, remaining superficial.

But literature can transcend the world and social classes, taking root in the spirit of a nation and a country.

This is why literary writers have a much higher social status than commercial writers.

Because the two are standing at different angles.

……

Although the publicity efforts have been reduced.

However, Shinchosha actively submitted "No Longer Human" to various awards.

Awards represent authority and recognition.

If a work wins an award, it can gain popularity, significantly increase sales, and generate huge profits.

If it's a major award like the Akutagawa Prize or the Naoki Prize.

It can even make you famous overnight.

He quickly rose to become a 'well-known writer'.

This is of great benefit to both publishers and writers.

Kitahara Makoto was very pleased with the operation of Shinchosha.

After all, no one would be unwilling to win an award.

……

……

Sunday is a day off.

The award selection process is handled by Shincho-sha.

As a long-established publishing house, Shinchosha has a wealth of experience in this area, so Kitahara Makoto doesn't need to worry about it at all.

So after being busy for more than half a month, he was finally able to start resting.

The girl next door was surprised to learn that he had finally returned.

They even made a special trip to check up on me.

"Xiao Zhen, what have you been doing for the past two weeks?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha asked with a curious look.

For the past two weeks, Kitahara Makoto had been inviting Kasumigaoka Utaha and Kato Megumi to dinner every night to let the two girls know that he was safe and sound and that they didn't need to worry.

But regarding what I am doing.

He has never revealed it.

I just said I'd tell them when it's successful.

This made the two women incredibly curious, as if a cat was scratching at their hearts.

"We're doing something big, making a lot of money!"

Kitahara Makoto wrapped his arms around the young lady's slender waist, rested his head on her soft shoulder, and inhaled her gentle fragrance.

After being busy for more than half a month, my mind and body felt cleansed.

"To do big things? To make big money?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked a grape and fed it to Kitahara Makoto.

"what's up?"

"Don't tell you."

Kitahara Makoto smiled mysteriously, "The world will tell you what I'm doing in time!"

Compared to saying it to her face, showing off in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha is a simple and direct way.

He felt that it was more interesting to let Kasumigaoka Utaha learn the truth herself through the news and newspapers.

"Will the world tell me?"

A hint of suspicion flashed in Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes.

Seeing that she wanted to ask again, Kitahara Makoto decisively changed the subject.

"Sister Shiyu, I bought you a gift!"

"Gift?"

Upon hearing that Kitahara was indeed going to give her a gift, Kasumigaoka Utaha did not pursue the matter any further.

For her, as long as Kitahara Makoto is safe and sound, that's enough; what he does is not important.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Kitahara Makoto with shining eyes.

Kitahara Makoto got up and took a gift box out of the cabinet.

This is the platinum necklace he bought at Tiffany's last time.

After making the purchase last time, I was busy with various things and couldn't give it away until now.

"Give."

"Thank you."

The girl carefully accepted the gift box.

When he saw the Tiffany logo on the gift box, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at Kitahara Makoto in disbelief.

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly, "Open it and take a look."

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened the box, and the platinum and diamond necklace shone brightly under the light.
