Sasaki and Peeps

Sasaki, a lonely office worker pushing forty, adopts an adorable bird to brighten up his life a bit... Little does he know that the Java sparrow he picks, Peeps, is a powerful mage who's going to bring him a whole lot more than he bargained for.

Sasaki gets the hang of his trading operation in the other world right about the time he gets in over his head in the modern world. He's (forcibly) recruited into a government agency for psychics, and his first job is right around the corner.

Sasaki catches wind of an unsettling development in the other world that could spell trouble for the entire country, let alone his trading operation. When called upon to help, can he use his modern business skills to make a difference?

War is now upon the Kingdom of Herz. What's a middle-aged businessman with a pet Java sparrow supposed to do about it? Well, if that pet sparrow happens to be the reincarnation of a legendary mage, then...

Sasaki returns to the modern world to find out there's been an interesting development while he was away, and little does he know yet another strange turn awaits him on his next job.

After a... magical encounter, Sasaki finds himself in an unlikely alliance with the most dangerous psychic around. Can he convince his other allies that she's not the threat she appears to be? And can he find a way to profit from this?

The war may be over for now, but the conflict has left the king shaken... and he's about to announce a new policy that will shake up the rest of the kingdom too.

Sasaki's unexpected stowaway casts his dealings with Futari Shizuka into doubt. Is there any way he can salvage the deal and keep Elsa happy so as not to ruin his relationship with her father, the count? A little sightseeing is in order!

Marc has been thrown into prison for a farce of an offense, and it's up to Sasaki to cook up an otherwordly scheme to get him out... and maybe make a tidy profit in the process.

The hour of Marc's execution draws near, and Sasaki is ready to lay everything on the table in one final gambit to save his life.
