The Blues are...

recruiting members!?

What?

Everyone!

Your condition has improved!

That's a really good combination.

That's thanks to the brat that would turn the team upside down leaving us...

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's game!

Don't worry.

Well, we'll work it out somehow.

Got some kind of problem?

You damn white four-eyed pig...

Just tell me that I pass!

Well, seems good.

You pass.

Then, right now,

I am counting on you from tonight's "Blues vs. Rockets" game onwards.

Sure, leave it to me!

Boss, it suits you perfectly!

Our boss...

Finally!

Let me touch your uniform!

Stop it, fools!

You're all snotty!

Hey you!

This is the Blues' changing room!

Don't think you can just...

Oh... Hey...

What's this?

Don't "what's this" me!

Get to work already!

You got it?

You're in charge of the west side seats of the second floor!

If you understand, get going!

What the...?

"Pana-

-Cola" is written on it.

Y-You bastards...

Hey, you're wrong!

We don't know-

Don't complain!

Go away!

Ouch...

They think I'm a cola seller?

What do they think an Intergalactic League genius like me is?

Small, but-

Ouch...

What do you want?

Let me go, bastard!

I told you to let me go, you! Let me go!

Quit slacking, rookie!

I didn't come to sell cola...

Ol' man, ol' man!

I know a guy that looks exactly like you!

Aren't you fifteen years old?

I'm 27!

Wow, that's impressive!

Gyuma is high-spirited!

It's all right, boss,

they're all caught up in the game.

Nobody will notice you, boss!

Nobody will...?

No...

Like this... and like this...

That hurts!

All right!

What's wrong!?

It hurts!

Stop it, it hurts!

Huh? Huh? Want me to stop?

Hey!

Cola!

Hey, can't you hear me?

I told you to give me two colas!

What?

Yes, immed-

Hey, what are you doing!?

He dodged three players during it...

Let go of me!

Yeah...

Let go of me, I'm telling you!

Cleo-san, what is it?

That's...

S-Son of a bitch!

Let go of me!

Hideyoshi?

Let go!

Hideyoshi?

Of the Earth Team?

Hideyoshi!

That's Hideyoshi!

What!?

Hideyoshi is now a cola seller!?

I got contacted by a reporter for Cosmos Sports.

It seems that he worked at the Blues' Frontiers Stadium.

A player being a cola seller in another team's stadium...

That's unprecedented!

If we don't stop him fast, I fear that it'll become a problem-

Leave him alone!

But, owner!

He quit our team because he wanted to become a cola seller?

Damn, what is he thinking?

Why should I care about the actions of a guy who quit the team!?

More importantly, you should think only of the next game instead!

They're all so childish...

Dumbass!

Being violent to a customer!

W-What's the meaning of this!?

I wasn't violent.

I just poured some cola on him.

That's a huge problem, dumbass!

Don't tell me that, hurry up and fire me, dumbass.

Too bad, but you promised to work for one year here.

One year!?

Indeed.

Based on this contract,

you cannot work anywhere else for one year.

What's that crappy piece of paper?

It doesn't have any effect on me.

It seems like you don't understand how important things are.

That's fine. You can cry, you can scream...

This contract is legally enforceable.

Even if it stinks, the merit of using an Intergalactic Minor Leaguer like you is just as we expected.

Please do your best.

That's all!

Damn old geezer!

I see...

As expected, he caused a disturbance.

I-If I can express my opinion,

he is a gifted young man who has a future.

Maybe we went a little overboard.

Manager Gastor?

Yes?

Are you an Earthling half-breed or something?

No, I've always been a Gor-

Then, as a Goran, you don't really feel bad, do you?

Even if it's a minor league,

the Earth Team's Hideyoshi is a popular player of the Intergalactic Minor League.

If he stays as one of our company's cola sellers,

he'll become a good mascot!

Boss!

It's nothing to get depressed over!

In the very beginning, we started out with nothing!

Coming up from being a cola seller...

It's no big thing!

Boss?

Boss!

Awesome!

The lights have been left on!

Hey!

Do you have a ball?

Ball?

Of course!

Okay, then let's do this!

Basketball time!

Huh?

Eddie, where are my basketball shoes?

Why didn't you bring them?

But a cola seller is always on roller skates-

Who's a cola seller?

But it's all right, isn't it?

Even if you don't have basketball shoes?

Dumbass!

The basketball court is a sacred place, you know!

Go bring them!

But the locker is closed. Let's do it tomorrow. Tomorrow!

Dumbass!

Do we have any guarantee that we'll be able to sneak in here tomorrow!?

Huh?

These are basketball shoes!

Why did basketball shoes fall like that?

Boss, that's suspicious!

This is a trap for sure!

Hey, you!

If someone's here, come on out!

We won't fall for your trap!

I hid myself without thinking.

Boss, let's run away!

No matter how you look at it, it's too suspicious!

Huh?

He's already got them on.

You're putting them on!?

Pretty okay.

All...right!

All... right!

Okay, let's begin!

Boss!

What's the problem?

Boss...

You look so much like... Gyuma!

You look so much like... Gyuma!

Shut up!

I look like Gyuma?

Someday I'll definitely defeat him!

Okay, let's go!

YEAH!

Louder! LET'S GO!

President, Ms. Liz is here.

Enter!

It's been a while, hasn't it, Liz?

So you finally came back,

my daughter, Liz Murdoch?

I always thought you'd come back,

but this time it's been pretty long.

No, I came to ask you a favor,

Mr. Murdoch.

To tell you the truth,

one of our players has ended up being a cola seller under contract at the Blues' Stadium.

What!?

That player obviously thought the contract would allow him to become a player.

A player!?

Such an idiot actually exists?

Your team full of Earthlings is a pretty interesting bunch, isn't it?

Listen, Liz,

as the director of the Intergalactic League, I'll say this clearly to you only once:

Do you really think that humans could ever be accepted into the Intergalactic League?

The answer is "no"!

The history of the Intergalactic League has proven that.

For a Goran like you, why is it so interesting to support the Earthlings so much?

Haven't you done enough, Liz!?

Come back and be my daughter obediently, Liz Murdoch.

If you did, I would listen to any of your wishes.

If you want a coaching job,

I'll recommend you to whatever team you wish.

To entrust your dreams to an inferior race like the Earthlings is the selfish action of a fool.

I know very well what you think,

Mr. Murdoch.

I am not your daughter anymore,

and I do not feel like coming back.

And they, the Earthlings,

are certainly not an inferior race!

In that case,

this conversation is now over.

There is just no way I'll even listen to your requests.

Excuse me.

If I don't play basketball, I shouldn't have to wear a uniform, right?

This is just a stupid...

Don't cut work!

I'm not cutting!

Damn those bastards,

treating people like trash...

Hey, cola!

Shut up, ass!

Geez, each one of them... Who the hell do they think I am?

Boss!

Boss, look at this!

The Earth Team is playing a game!

The Earth Team?

They're playing basketball!

The Earth Team plays so bad without me that I can't watch that!

Here you go.

Hey, the guy just now was Hideyoshi, right?

Nope.

Yeah, right...

Yeah!

All right!

Lucky! It's open today too!

It seems like it's always just this place where the lights are on.

Hey, that's true!

Okay, let's begin then!

Let's play basketball!

YEAH!

Hey, hey, this is bad!

When a Blues' star player himself uses the court without permission...

Isn't it a somewhat delicate situation?

Not really.

I was just thinking that if he and I were the same type of person,

and if he had a court and a ball, he would certainly come here.

And look, he came as expected.

Those types always rise above the rest.

Just watching him is interesting.

It's been a while...

since I've seen a guy who seemed to have that much fun playing.

ALL RIGHT!

That's enough!

This is it for today's practice.

Good work.

Still, it does feel strange...

when that guy isn't here.

Yeah.

Even during the game the other day against the Jets,

when I think about how the stage would've been if he was there for us,

I'm sure it would've been quite different.

Yeah, for sure.

Besides, the critics against us in the Intergalactic Minor League are getting stronger these days.

It seems that we're not in a position to be praised by the Earthlings either.

Someone go get him back!

He's not really working...

as a cola seller.

If you take away basketball from a "basketball monkey,"

he'll become a mere monkey.

Besides,

the evolution of Earthlings will come by Earthlings becoming league champions by themselves,

and breaking into the Intergalactic League.

With him on the team... the strongest team.

With him on the team... the strongest team.

After all, he's the Earth's monkey, right?

So you were here?

What's with that idiot?

Is he still selling cola?

Yes, most likely.

So you went to see Murdoch.

Yes.

Sorry about that.

You deal with painful feelings for the sake of that idiot.

No, it's because that's also my job.

He is an important member.

In order to display the inner strength of Earthlings,

he has to be here.

It's my responsibility to bring him back.

Nah.

Actually, you are doing very well.

The only bad ones are that midget and that really disgusting Goran.

You don't have to worry about it.

I'll bring him back soon.

Lowering my head to Murdoch is not a big deal.

Owner!

But still,

he brings nothing but trouble to us!

There's nothing to worry about.

Even if a claim came from the Earth Team,

the one who bound him to the contract is the player himself,

so there is no problem.

Besides, those guys are from the minor leagues.

Whatever they say, just reject it.

You make people enter into pretty vicious contracts, don't you, Lloyd?

No, t-this is...

Gyuma-san?

It'd be best to annul it immediately.

Or else I'll just drop my Blues number.

Yes!

Do I really have to wear this uncool getup for one year?

But we can drink cola!

Don't drink it!

The carbonation is pretty weak...

Hideyoshi!

Hideyoshi!

Hideyoshi!

Hideyoshi!

W-What is it?

W-What is it?

I heard that you snuck into the basketball court after work without permission!

That's for the players only!

It's a sacred court!

It's not a place where people like you can set foot!

Old man, you are...

Idiot, you're w-wrong!

A-Anyways, a claim came from a star player you couldn't even dream of meeting!

I don't know who it is, but it seems like a stingy guy was there...

Shut up!

In any case, you're fired!

And this time for sure,

come back as a player!

"Fired"...

Fired!?

Yeah, without a doubt, you don't have time to sell cola!

Make your way up here! I'll be waiting for you!

This cola doesn't have enough carbonation!

Yeah, not enough!

Not nearly enough!

Let's get out of here!

Don't ever come back, you damn kids!

Hideyoshi did?

What's the meaning of this?

I can't tell you the details,

but it seems that Hideyoshi caused some problems.

Yeah, of course, the contractual issue has been fully resolved.

Summary dismissal.

We caused you a lot of problems.

That's for sure.

Boss, which ship is the one bound for Earth?

Should we call the coach?

Hey, hey, the lights are left on again?

What's it for this time?

Gyuma?

What is he doing?

My basketball shoes...

That bastard.

What should we say?

As I thought, I've got a bad feeling...

That's a good combination, isn't it?

It makes it harder and harder to get in...

Get prepared quickly!

Hideyoshi! You bastard...

Y-Yeah, I came back for you!

We didn't call you, though.

Let's go!

I guess it will become loud again.

Next time, on Buzzer Beater:
