I suppose we can use the communal baths unless anyone wants a private hot tub. Take care of the rooms. I think two people per room will be enough. Can you see if there are four rooms available? If not, see how many are free so that we can decide how to divide them among us.”
The other Dog-kind boy was staring at the big grizzly bear Suijin was mounting, and asked, “Mister Alex, is that beast safe to be inside the stable? I don’t want to find the horses eaten in the morning!”

Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 20 – Night talk with Sarutahiko Okami
In the morning, Alex woke up feeling his chest heavy. He slowly opened up his eyes and saw Shinatobe smiling back at him, seated on his chest, completely naked. Before he could even say a word, she kissed him. Her hands went down, caressing his belly and when she reached his thighs, she whispered, “You collapsed in the middle of our fourth. You owe me one last climax before we go down for breakfast. What do you say? Are you up for it?” “I am not sure if I was the one to collapse or if it was you, I got a little lost in the middle. I suppose we need to try again, to see which of us owes the other. If we are not careful, we will stay in bed for the entire day, and unfortunately, we can’t do that.” &

Alex put another piece of wood over the fire and waited in silence for the morning to come. When the first light of sunshine entered the shelter through the chimney, Alex began taking care of breakfast while waiting for the others to wake up. The noise he was making with the pots and pans slowly woke up James Macdonald, who approached while rubbing his eyes. “Good morning, Mister Alex. Is it my impression, or are you louder than usual? Did you make all this racket on purpose to wake us up?” “
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 22 – Magical Voids 1
As they made the horses run along the main road, Anika kept on glancing at Pearl Pearson, angry at her not only because she was now another rival for Alex’s love, but mostly because until that day, she didn’t seem interested in him, and Anika was feeling betrayed by her. After almost two hours of fast runs alternated with trots for the horses to rest, James Macdonald raised his fist, telling everyone behind him to stop. Alex was next to him and looked in front, where, at almost one hundred meters, Sarutahiko Okami was standing on an open field on the left side of the road. In front of her, tall burning mountains surrounded a horde of Monsters with only one exit facing the powerful Spirit.

James Macdonald gave a big smile and tapped Alex’s back a few times. “Thank you! With you around, this Quest won’t be as dangerous as I thought! Maybe we have a chance of surviving this with our pockets full of Magical Orbs and gold coins, after all!” “Talking about Magical Orbs, I just want four. Two for me and two for Okami. You can have the others and divide them with everyone.” “Sure, but you deserve more than that, considering that it was your plan and straightforward leadership that granted us an easy victory!”
Alex Brim, Hero for Hire Chapter 23 – Meeting Ghar
The female Orc tilted her head, puzzled by that strange language. She placed her right fist on her chest and said, “Ghar!” She then pointed at Alex with a raised left eyebrow. As he didn’t speak, she hit her chest again and repeated, “Ghar!” Alex nodded and answered while hitting his chest as well, “Alex!” The female Orc twisted her lips in an effort to repeat the weird word, “Ax!”

James Macdonald slowly nodded. “I think I understand your point of view. But... Aren’t you worried about us finding out so much about you? Because, until recently, you were being rather secretive. You barely spoke on our last Quest, and I was questioning my choice of hiring you to help us out with getting rid of that vast horde of Goblins. Well, at least until I saw how you so easily defeated that Four-Armed-Orc. Despite that moment, you led me to believe you didn’t care if Gabriel got killed or not, but then I understood it was a tactic to make the Four-Armed-Orc angry so that he would let go of Gabriel’s foot without harming him. It totally worked, by the way.”

Gabriel Dawson rushed to Anika Wright and carried her in his arms. James Macdonald transformed his face from surprise to admiration and asked Alex in a whisper, “How could she move with that speed? I didn’t even see her! And she immediately detected Ghar and found out that Anika was a Mermaid? How?” “Miss Olive Andrews is... a very special woman. She was once the fighting teacher of the Earl’s troops and was with him and my father in the war with ‘The Galtian Khaganat’. Despite her age, she is more than able to knock out all of us if we annoy her. Let’s try not t

Alex Brim was already thirty-five, and for the last two years, he had been living permanently in Azurath because his forever-young look was making people suspicious of him on Earth. So, without informing anyone, he purchased two one-way tickets to Nepal for himself and Hangaku Mae, leaving on his kitchen counter a single note stating that they were going to live in a secluded monastery deep in the mountains for their retirement, leaving behind his stressful work at the Earthquake Institute and as a part-time teacher at Tokyo Metropolitan Nishi High School.

After nearly an hour of walking, they arrived at the vicinities of the main gate of the Imperial Palace. Sakamo thought it was weird if she lived there, but probably her parents worked there. To his surprise, a group of four men ran to them as soon as they recognised the Princess, and one of them shouted to Sakamo, “Let her go! Why are you holding her hand like that? Why did you kidnap her?” Sakamo felt Hiko trembling as she hid behind him, and he whispered, “What do these guys want? Are they friends of those guys this morning?”
