My Boss Keeps Falling Into the Water, but I'm from the Liquor Factory

Hello, everyone. I'm Jager, a rare desk-jockey operative at the distillery. I can't reveal my real name for now.

Today I'm here to expose my shitty boss.

Back in the day, I was plucked from an orphanage and joined the distillery's glorious cause. I blazed through every evaluation with flying colors, always ranking near the top. Just as I was about to earn my codename and reach the pinnacle of life, my shitty boss took one look at me and made me his "Vodka."

The strong liquor I'd been promised turned into a little after-dinner liqueur that's often used to make ice cream. Apparently, my boss even considered calling me Jack Daniel's or South African Elephant at one point.

My job also changed from dodging bullets to driving my boss around, finding people when he loses them, fishing him out when he falls in the water, and staying up late to write little essays.

"Jager."

"It's nothing, Mr. Dazai."

Oh, right. My shitty boss is a little different from the others, too.

Everyone else's codename is a kind of alcohol. He's different.

His codename is Osamu Dazai, just like that famous literary author.

I thought this guy was one of the rare cultured people at our distillery. Though I didn't quite understand his bizarre behavior, surely a bookish man had his reasons.

That was until I accidentally got linked to a forum.

On there, we're all characters in a manga, and people keep going on about some kind of dream crossover.

Only then did I find out that Osamu Dazai is actually my shitty boss's real name, and this guy hasn't even gone to school.

We've been lied to, folks.

"Jager, I'm soaked through and miserable. You can handle all of today's work."

"...Yes, Mr. Dazai."

Unfortunately, life goes on.

Everyone, please send me 50 yuan so I can escape my shitty boss's clutches sooner.

At some point, people's memories began to change without anyone noticing, and the world changed along with them. Only Dazai remained the same.

After searching for a long time, Dazai finally discovered the culprit behind it all.

As long as this person lived, all was calm. When they died, the world was reshaped.

And for some reason, this guy often tried to kill himself over the most inexplicable things.

Watching the world grow more unfamiliar with each reshaping, Dazai finally took action.

But how can someone who has already fallen into the abyss bring hope to others?

You are the latest model of police android, designed to complete your missions. To that end, you can sacrifice everything, including yourself.

But one day, you suddenly find yourself in an unfamiliar world. Here, you are human, with a life that can only be lived once, and no idea what it means.

Fortunately, in this life, you still have a handler. Their expectations of you are simple: just as you were programmed to do before, continue to put completing your missions first.

That is, you can sacrifice everything, including yourself.

Reading Notes:

1. The main story is told in third person.

2. The love interest is the boss.

3. In their previous life, the protagonist was an original android character.

More details will be added if I think of anything else.
