[Chapter image - Littre
••His story••
A Gatekeeper who travels between stars within seconds. This Gatekeeper has a problem of being late very often, but is good at getting away with it. Be careful not to mention that this cute fellow looks like a rice cake, because he will get very upset. Strangely though, he is okay with people saying that he looks like a rabbit.]

-At St. Calia-

Littre: The Galaxy League is the biggest soccer event in the galaxy. The Gatekeepers and the Galaxy League Committee manage the league. The Galaxy League Committee consists of representatives of every planet that the Gatekeepers look over. Only the players that have been approved by the Gatekeepers and the Committee can enter the League. I'll help you guys enter the Galaxy League.

Noa: So, you're asking us to fly off to space and play soccer?

Lia: Cool! Space soccer!

Shootmeister: It's as Noa just said. We don't have much time. Get ready.

Yuna: Wait! Can we even breathe in space?

Wayne: Why do we even have to go to space to play soccer?

Shu: Yeah, it seems like too much work. I don't like it.

Noa: Sorry, but we have multiple matches to prepare for. I'm not interested in you league.

Shootmeister: ..... Fine. Well, if you can't pass the test, you wouldn't be able to go even if you wanted to. So, why not start with a simple test?

Noa: Once again, why do we have to listen to you?

Shootmeister: .... So, you're backing down?

Noa: That's not true...!

Shootmeister: I don't want to ask unqualified people to do things they can't. There's a lot of good players out there.

Lia: Ooh! Then I'll go! I'm good at soccer!

Sage: I'm in too. Sounds like fun.

Jang: Good player? Man, I'm the best player. Lucius! We're going!

Lucius: You're right, we are. I never back down when it comes to soccer.

Shootmeister: Okay, so shall we start the test without St. Calia? Looks like we never had to come here in the first place.

Noa: ..... Hold on! We'll take the test. Just the test though.

Shootmeister: ..... Very well. We'll begin right away. Get ready. The test starts now.

Noa: Okay.

Shu: What? A test? We're going for another round? Give me a break.
