Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

Kitahara Shin smiled slightly.

Then he took Kato Megumi to the driving school.

He had always wanted to get a driver's license and buy a car.

However, there has never been a long holiday.

Now that spring break has finally arrived, with a full month to spare, it's time to make some plans.

He originally wanted to learn to drive with the three women.

But as soon as she started her vacation, Mai Sakurajima began to work on the huge amount of work that had piled up over the past two months.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, on the other hand, was taken on a 'graduation trip' by her parents.

In the end, only Kato Megumi was left to accompany him to take his driver's license test.

However, Kitahara Shinya was quite content to have one left.

I finished my driving lesson at the driving school this morning.

At noon, the two returned to Kitahara Makoto's house together and cooked lunch together.

I'll take a nap in the afternoon.

Go to sleep at night.

Eating late-night snacks in the middle of the night.

It wasn't until noon the next day that Kitahara Makoto finally took Kato Megumi home.

Then the cycle repeats itself every two days.

During the more than one month of holiday nights, Megumi Kato spent at least two-thirds of her time at Makoto Kitahara's house.

……

……

Xin Chao Society.

Reception room.

Led by the receptionist, Kitahara Makoto arrived at the reception room.

He was doing just fine at home.

I was just about to have hot pot with Kato Megumi at noon.

Suddenly, Yamamoto and Noboru received a phone call saying they had something important to discuss and came directly to me.

"Editor-in-Chief Yamamoto, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see me?"

Kitahara Makoto walked into the reception room.

Only then did I realize that besides Yamamoto and Deng, there was no one else inside.

There was even a blond, blue-eyed foreigner standing there.

"Teacher Kitahara, let me introduce you."

Kazuto Yamamoto explained with a smile.

"This is Mr. Jimmy, an international bookseller who has always had a good working relationship with our Shincho Publishing House."

"Hello, author Kitahara."

Jimmy speaks fluent Japanese.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

Kitahara Shinya replied politely.

The three of them sat down at the reception table.

Kitahara asked.

"So, Editor-in-Chief Yamamoto, why did you call me here this time?"

"Mr. Jimmy has his eye on the overseas potential of your two works, so he wants to inquire about overseas distribution."

"I see."

Kitahara Shinichi understood perfectly.

Shinchosha is one of the five major publishing houses that specializes in the Japanese domestic market.

The Akutagawa Prize and Naoki Prize are the most awarded.

However, its overseas distribution capabilities are also the weakest, almost non-existent.

Therefore, the overseas copyright operation of books is carried out by cooperating with international booksellers.

"Sure, Mr. Jimmy, how do you plan to negotiate?"

There are also beautiful girls and a piping hot and delicious hot pot waiting for me at home.

Kitahara really didn't want to waste time, so he got straight to the point.

Upon seeing this, Jimmy directly stated his price.

"Two hundred thousand US dollars per book, to buy out the overseas rights for eight years!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Kitahara Makoto said expressionlessly.

Haruki Murakami is the most internationally renowned writer from Japan since the millennium.

His works are bestsellers in many countries overseas.

Among these, "Norwegian Wood" is one of the best-selling works.

Kitahara Makoto did not know the specific sales figures in the United States.

But the number of copies will definitely not be less than 500,000.

Even if he only takes three dollars per book, he would still have 1.5 million dollars.

The profit margin is nearly eight times.

He'd have to be crazy to do this kind of business.

“No Longer Human can be bought outright, but the copyright is only for three years, and it will only be sold to you in the Americas.”

"As for 'Norwegian Wood,' it's absolutely impossible to buy it outright; we'll only accept a revenue share."

Kitahara Shin revealed his bottom line.

Jimmy wasn't angry. In business, it's always the case that if you ask for an exorbitant price, I'll try to drive it down to the limit.

The two then went back and forth.

Meanwhile, Yamamoto Kazuto quietly served as a competent matchmaker.

Finally, an agreement was reached.

The American rights to "No Longer Human" were bought out for five years for $300,000, equivalent to 33 million yen.

"Norwegian Wood" was licensed to Jimmy to find someone to translate and publish, with Kitahara Makoto receiving 11% of the royalties.

The news that the American rights to the two books have been sold.

Yamamoto Kazuto immediately published it, writing extensively about it.

Due to various historical reasons.

And the culture of admiring strength that is ingrained in their very being.

Japanese people have always had a sense of inferiority towards Europe and America.

They fear Europe and America, yet yearn to defeat them.

There is a sense of admiration for any Chinese person who can gain international fame and achieve success in Europe and America.

Since "Norwegian Wood" is still being serialized, the impact is minimal.

However, the sales of "No Longer Human" were poor.

However, it then experienced another small surge.

Kitahara Makoto and Shinchosha made a fortune.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Buying a Car, Buying a Company

Life is ordinary and uneventful.

The spring break, which lasted for more than a month, passed in the blink of an eye.

Kitahara Makoto and Kato Megumi both successfully obtained their driver's licenses.

The first thing to do after getting a driver's license is naturally to buy a car.

Kitahara Makoto simply waved his hand and purchased three more cars.

A Lamborghini Aventador, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and a Toyota Alphard seven-seater.

The Lamborghini is cool and stylish, a dream sports car for young people.

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a high-end business vehicle, exudes understated luxury and is the standard for successful individuals.

The Alphard is perfect for both home and outdoor activities, and is ideal for taking the whole family out for fun.

But only children make choices; he chose to have it all.

Moreover, with the end of the Spring Festival holiday, it is foreseeable that the number of people in the household will definitely increase.

The number of people using cars will naturally increase as well.

Buying more cars will save you from not having enough to drive later.

With his current wealth, buying a car is just a drop in the ocean for him.

……

The new semester has begun.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sakurajima Mai moved into Kitahara Makoto's house openly and legitimately.

Living under the same roof, the two women got along quite harmoniously.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is able to get along well with Kato Megumi because of his presence. The two women have known each other for a long time in private, but he just doesn't know it.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha's ability to get along harmoniously with Sakurajima Mai is entirely due to his extraordinary physique.

Under his suppression, Kasumigaoka Utaha, that little brat, was powerless to fight back and had no chance to cause trouble at all.

On several occasions, it was Mai Sakurajima who sacrificed herself to save her from the gun.

After several such incidents, Kasumigaoka Utaha gradually accepted Sakurajima Mai.

After all, if they can accept Kato Megumi, then having one more wouldn't be unacceptable.

……

……

With the start of the school year.

Kitahara Makoto found himself becoming bored again.

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Sakurajima Mai had just enrolled in a prestigious university in Tokyo, and they were so busy with their studies that they didn't have much time to spend with him.

Kato Megumi, now a senior in high school, needs to start preparing for university entrance exams.

For the sake of his future children's home education, Kitahara Shinya dared not disturb Kato Megumi's studies.

The serialization of "Norwegian Wood" and "White Night" is not yet over.

With nothing to do, he began to idle away his time.

Just then, a real estate agency contacted him, and the matter he was concerned about seemed to be progressing...
