After I Was Forced to Die for Love with Dazai

[Suicide Log]

First suicide attempt: failed.

The rope I bought snapped while I was hanging myself. Strange, I clearly remember there being no frayed spots.

Fine, I'll try again next time. I'll never buy hemp rope from that shop again. Such poor quality.

Dazai, fallen to the ground, rubbed his neck, sore from the brief lack of oxygen, dusted off his clothes, and left the scene.

Second suicide attempt: failed.

Fifth suicide attempt: failed.

I feel like someone's stopping me from killing myself. Who's so awful that they'd stop me from leaving this boring world?

Tenth suicide attempt: failed.

I've found him, but why can't I find any trace of him in Yokohama? It's as if he doesn't exist. And yet he shows up every time I try to kill myself. Who is he?

Then let's take a gamble. This time, I'll catch you for sure.

Osamu Dazai wore a smile, but his gaze was a little obsessive. The wind tousled his hair as he sat leisurely on the railing of the Mafia headquarters rooftop. He picked up the gun beside him, aimed it at his temple, and pulled the trigger.

[Chuya's Survival Notes]

First forced death:

I secretly sabotaged that guy's rope. Let's see him try to hang himself now.

Second forced death:

Is this guy crazy? It's only been a few days and he's trying to die again. Are people in this tiny country of Japan all this insane?

Third forced death:

Damn, not again! If I didn't keep living by stopping him from dying, this would've been my third death in front of my big brother. How unlucky can I get, being bound to a suicide maniac?

Fifth forced death:

Looks like that guy's figured something out. I'd better be careful.

Eleventh forced death:

He's forcing me to show myself. He knows about me.

Chuya, who was raised from childhood by the Nordic god Verlaine, is forced into a life bond with Dazai, who keeps attempting suicide in the Mafia in far-off Yokohama, Japan. Thus begins a long struggle to stay alive by preventing someone else from dying.

Osamu Dazai, I will transmigrate through time and space to save myself, and to save you.
