Even though Sasaki's fun corporate life is constantly full of work, it leaves him tired and unsatisfied at the end of each day. In search of a companion to fill the void in his life, he visits a pet shop, without realizing that he is about to change his life forever. After choosing a bird and bringing it home... his new roommate reveals that he is actually an incredible sage from another world who promptly grants Sasaki supernatural powers as well as the ability to cross worlds. All Sasaki wants to do is use these new powers to live in peace and comfort.
