The story begins with a young boy entering a cafe and he wants to order a milkshake for himself. He walks to the counter with a big smile on his face.
Boy: One vanilla milkshake please!
Employee: Okay, here you go. he hands him the milkshake
Boy: Thank you so much! And can I also have one of those lemon meringue pie slices? It's for my grandfather.
Employee: Such a kind heart, little boy. Here you go and have a nice day.
Boy: Thank you! He runs off, and he spots two other people and walks up to them. Hello their neighbors! How do you do?
Other boy: Ah! Oh, hey there.
Boy: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
Other boy: Ah, no worries. What's your name, pal?
Boy: I am Amami Souta! What's yours?
Other boy: Nice to meet you, Souta. I am James, and this is my little sister Matilda.
Souta: Nice to meet you both!
Matilda: Hello! *waving her hand as she licks a lollipop*
Souta: I can see you like sweets too. *smiling*
Matilda: Oh yes! And judging by your milkshake and the pie slice, you must like them too!
Souta: That slice? Oh no, it's for my grandfather. My parents went on an important business trip for a couple of weeks, so they left me in the hands of my grandparents.
James: Gee, that must be tough for you.
Souta: No need to worry too much, I love my grandparents! *he then notices Matilda is holding a specific picture* Hey, who are those guys in the photo?
Matilda: It is the legendary heroes, the Dream Team! Legend says that they protected a different dimension where a princess ruled with her trustworthy dog assistant. One of the girls apparently became that, and later in the future, she was an idol for a chorus group!
Souta: Wow... that's amazing...
Souta's mind: Dream Team and heroes? I wonder what it would be like to actually become a hero, and who will give me my powers if I had any abilities to be one. Time passed, and Souta doesn't realize that he is late to return home.
Souta: Say, what time is it?
Matilda: Um... the afternoon?
James: Yeah, it's probably around 3 o'clock.
Souta: Oh, shoot! I am very sorry to cut this short, but I have to go home. It was nice meeting you guys! *he runs out*
James: Okay... see you later. Boy, he is fast. And really friendly.
Matilda: Yeah!
James: *he continues to drink his milkshake until...* AHHHHHH!!!! Brain freeze!!
Matilda: *giggling*
When Souta returns home...
Souta: Grandpa, I'm home!
Asahi: Oh, welcome back.
Souta: I got your lemon meringue slice. Just the way you like it. *handing it to him*
Asahi: Thank you child. *he takes the slice of pie and eats it*
Elena: Oh, Souta! You're back! How are you honey?
Souta: I'm doing alright, thanks grandma! I actually discovered something incredible on the way there! One of my new acquaintances told me the story of the Dream Team, he said that they were heroes protecting different lands!
Asahi: Aye, that is correct my dear boy. Your uncle was actually one of them.
Souta: Really? *he sits down next to his grandfather* Please tell me more!
Asahi: Very well then. You see, your uncle Seiji used to be a track and field runner at school with the other members of the gang. He and another boy were both known as Warriors Crystal and Sonic. Seiji was Warrior Crystal in the team, and he teamed up with another member, known as Dream Lightning in one of the subunits. His work has been an absolute blessing, as he has protected Nebuland in the legend.
Souta: Wow... so all of this is real?
Asahi: It is indeed, lad. And one day, it could be you. *smiling*
Elena: Asahi, please don't push his luck. He will find it at his own pace.
Souta: Grandma, it's alright. *he chuckles* I'll find my chance whenever I can. I'm going to the garden now for fresh air. *he then hops off the couch and walks in the garden until he hears some rustling in the bushes* Hello? *he hears the bushes rustle and the little voice keeps crying* Is anyone in here? *in the moment, a brown fox walks up to him, covered in dirt and with a scratch on his leg* Aww... you poor foxy... *he tries to reach for the fox, but he shies away* Don't worry little one, I'm not gonna hurt you. *he gives a gentle smile*
Fox: *he gently creeps up to him and nuzzles his hand*
Souta: There we go, it's alright. *he gently pets his fur and picks him up* Oh dear, you poor fella must be starving. I will clean you up. He takes the fox to the other end of the garden and he pumps up a paddling pool before he fills it with water and puts the fox in and uses the hose to clean him up a bit, before he takes him out of the pool and wraps his leg with a bandage. There we go.
Fox: Thank you so much-tsu~
Souta: No worries. *but he pauses for a moment* Wait, you can talk?
Fox: Mm-hmm. I am not just any fox you see... I am a ruler from another dimension.
Souta: Another dimension?
Fox: Yes, my beloved sent me here to look for the legendary warriors, the Dream Team.
Souta: Hey, I actually heard about this earlier! My grandfather told me a lot about it.
Fox: My world is in danger, and– *his stomach growls*
Souta: Are you hungry? You can try a bit of my milkshake. *he takes the milkshake and lets the fox take a sip*
Fox: Yummy~ I love vanilla. You are a very nice boy.
Souta: Well, I do like making new friends!
Fox: Well then, allow me to introduce myself. I am Caramel, also known as Wilbur Timber. *he transforms into a young man with a top hat*
Souta: Incredible...
Fox: What's your's, dear boy?
Souta: Amami Souta!
