Crossover: Pen name: Dazai Osamu, Omega Kasumigaoka

That's when I learned the whole story.

The situation was very good after "No Longer Human" began serialization.

It gained recognition from many readers as soon as it was launched.

It has received high praise from many readers.

It also generated a great response within the industry.

Many professional book reviewers and writers have given this book extremely high praise and recommendations.

None of these people from the Shincho Society paid any money; they were all volunteers.

These book reviewers and authors already have a considerable number of fans.

Thanks to their promotion, more and more people have become aware of the book "No Longer Human".

Then, the quality of "No Longer Human" was so high that it quickly won over these new readers, who then spontaneously recommended it to others...

This virtuous cycle, like a snowball rolling downhill, has led to this situation.

"No Longer Human" has become increasingly famous and has become a rising star in pure literature.

In this stagnant literary world of Japan, where nothing has changed in years, it's like a pool of still water.

Dazai Isamu, a newcomer with no background, managed to break through with the "extraordinary" quality of "No Longer Human".

After hanging up the phone.

Kitahara Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.

The book was a success and gained recognition from readers.

All I have to do now is wait for the serialization to end, then I can release the standalone volume and make a fortune.

Of course, it would be even better if we could win some awards along the way.

This also helped increase the fame of "No Longer Human".

We can sell better and earn more money.

No, it should be said that winning the award was inevitable.

Given the quality of "No Longer Human" and the powerful background of Shinchosha, it's impossible that it wouldn't win any awards.

From this perspective, the dream of buying a car, buying a house, achieving financial freedom, and enjoying life is within reach.

"Hahaha……"

Kitahara Makoto's cheerful laughter echoed from the cramped rented room.

……

……

After the turn of the millennium, the Japanese literary scene entered a period of transition and decline.

Some of the older generation are passing away, while the new generation is unable to take up the mantle.

Despite the light content, commercial authors of romance novels and other genres are thriving.

Sales continue to reach new highs.

However, this type of author's use of language only reaches the most superficial level of 'accurate expression', which does nothing to help the development of the literary world.

The development of the literary world suddenly came to a standstill.

Until the appearance of "No Longer Human".

For the Japanese literary world, which has not seen such 'superior' works for many years.

It was as if a muscular man had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was like parched earth receiving a shower of sweet dew.

Some radicals have even bestowed upon Dazai Osamu the title of "literary savior".

Even rational people are full of praise for the quality of "No Longer Human".

Of course, there is praise, and there is also criticism.

Some people say that "No Longer Human" is too weak and pretentious, too feeble, making it unpleasant and unpleasant to read.

I think the so-called "literary masterpiece" and "savior of the literary world" are all exaggerations and are just marketing slogans come up by Shinchosha.

Some people say "No Longer Human" is excellent, while others say it doesn't deserve the title.

The two sides started arguing online.

This actually increased the fame of "No Longer Human".

Some passersby who had no prior knowledge of "No Longer Human".

After seeing such a heated discussion online.

Everyone would be curious and want to buy a copy of the Trend Weekly to see what kind of book could attract so much discussion.

Chapter Twelve: The Son-in-Law Arrives at the Door?

The popularity of "No Longer Human" is still growing.

Thanks to the efforts of Shinchosha, more and more people have joined the discussion on "No Longer Human".

However, Kitahara Makoto temporarily put these matters aside.

It's still being serialized, so no matter how popular it gets, it's useless; he's already received his fixed royalties.

The real big part will be revealed when the standalone volumes are released later.

So he went back to being an 'ordinary' high school student.

Friday, noon.

Kato Megumi sat quietly in the chair, her pen scribbling away, making a soft scratching sound.

A gentle breeze occasionally blew by, ruffling the girl's hair, her delicate and sweet face resembling a lively mountain fairy.

Kitahara Makoto lay on the table next to him, tilting his head to look at his beautiful classmate.

"Why do you keep looking at me?"

"I don't think my wife is good enough?"

"Pah, who's your wife?"

Kato Megumi spat, but her pink earlobes and upturned lips betrayed her delighted mood.

Noticing her change, Kitahara smiled knowingly, turned away, and didn't disturb her while she did her homework.

It's good for your deskmate to study together, since she'll be the one who will be responsible for most of your future family education. We can't be careless for the sake of the next generation.

Kitahara Makoto turned his head away.

But then he saw a pair of eyes at the door, staring straight at him.

A beautiful, pure, and exquisitely cute girl stood at the door.

But the boys and girls passing by seemed to be blind, completely ignoring the girl's existence.

This doesn't fit Kitahara Makoto's impression of his classmates: the boys were horny creatures and the girls were gossipy busybodies.

At the same time, the girl's extremely resentful eyes made him feel as if he had committed some unforgivable crime.

His eye twitched violently a few times.

I got up and went outside the classroom.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mai Sakurajima breathed a sigh of relief. "That's great. You can still see me after all."

Seeing the girl's appearance, Kitahara Shin shook his head, finding it somewhat amusing.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

“I was hungry, but the situation seemed to be getting worse. I couldn’t see anyone, and I couldn’t buy food.”

Kitahara Shin said nonchalantly:

"You can buy it from a vending machine, or just take it directly from the supermarket. Anyway, no one can see you."

"Pooh!"

Sakurajima Mai shouted like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"I would never do such a thing! Even if I starve to death or jump off this building, I would never do such a thing!"

Kitahara Makoto looked at the haughty senior in black stockings with a strange expression.

"I never knew you had the potential to be a philosopher!"

Mai Sakurajima didn't understand the meaning behind Kitahara Masato's words and thought he was praising her for her noble character, saying she could be a philosopher.

He hummed twice and said smugly.

"Of course, I am a moral person!"

"hehe."

Kitahara Shin remained noncommittal, then proactively changed the subject.

"Let's go, I'll take you to buy some food."

At the entrance of the school convenience store.

Kitahara Shin handed the bread in his hand to Sakurajima Mai.

Sakurajima Mai looked at the two portions of bread in front of her and asked with a puzzled expression.

Why did you buy two portions? Do you want some too?

"Idiot, one portion is for you to eat tonight."

Kitahara Shin said, somewhat speechless.

Do you really think he's some lonely old man like you? He's a genius who gets fed by his neighbor's pretty sister and his cute classmate, why would he need to eat this kind of garbage?

"oh oh."

Mai Sakurajima suddenly realized what was going on and said, half-jokingly.

"Seeing a beautiful girl like me encounter difficulties."

"Don't you want to treat me to dinner tonight?"

"I'm busy, I have plans tonight."

After saying that, Kitahara Makoto strode towards the classroom without looking back.

Mai Sakurajima was slightly taken aback as she watched him walk away.

Having grown up in the spotlight, she began to doubt her own charm for the first time.

……

After school, I said goodbye to Hui-chan and then picked up the girl next door.

The two returned to the Kasumigaoka family home together.

Today is Kasumigaoka's mother's birthday, and we've prepared a sumptuous meal. We've specially invited him to come over for dinner.

"Beiyuan is here, come in quickly."

"Your uncle hasn't come back yet. Go play in Shiyu's room for a while. We'll have dinner when your uncle comes back."

Kasumigaoka's mother warmly welcomed Kitahara Makoto inside.

On the contrary, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was being neglected, looked like she wasn't even his biological daughter.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha was already used to this situation.
