Where did this come from?

While searching through my mail box, I found this text that I translated

I can't remember which novel I translated it from but it was translated about 4 years ago. It's the first page of one of the novels. I'm pretty sure I translated more for my friends 4 years ago though

I say, Shibuya.
  Thank you for helping me but I am definitely not the type to suffer silently and be bullied.
  This is the first time I was taken upon on and was threatened.
  Moreover, you said that view my (exams) results as my life! XXXXX* But you don't really understand me so please don't be prejudiced by my first impressions. Although feelings of my existence is very weak but to strengthen my body and spirit, I had to learn martial arts which is karate. Eh, it's only correspondence teaching.
  In any case. even I don't know how exactly am I as a person so please can you don't assume?
  As I was saying, "who exactly am I", to humans this is always a mystery, isn't it? That is why those self-reflective books sell so easily.
  Since this is the case, I shall ask you, Shibuya.
  Who are you?
  Why are you born? Why do you live?
  You see, that is why I say don't be bothered over this! Because nobody knows the answer!
  Actually, I have already suffocated to death, right?  that is why breathing is so difficult.

"Oh,oh, Bandou , you jerk!"
  "Please wake up, your Majesty."
  Although it is dawn, that face that never bruises and the hair, never messed and always giving people a happy impression, Conrad was looking at me.
  "My name was given by you so don't call me "your majesty"."

*foreign japanese term, i have not found the exact english term yet. ignore this XXX
