She reveals that the Galaxian System are searching for items called the Star Crystals, that she has 4 of. While Hayate initially doesn’t believe her story, it’s when the Nebulae attempts to kill his close friend Natsuki Akatsuki and Altair uses a device called the Starry Tambourine to transform into Cure Meteor that Hayate quickly changes his tune. How will he help the magical alien heroine not only save the world from being frozen over, but also gain knowledge of human customs?*
