Me: Finally! I'm able to finish a big Chapter 13. Welcome everyone!
Yukito: I wonder how you were able to maintain your time between writing this story and a lot of school work.
Me: School will be over pretty soon.
Taoki *surprised*: What do you mean?
Me: I'm graduating within 5 days.
Yukito, Taoki and Nagisa *shocked*: Graduating?
Nagisa: Which means...
Me: There will be no more school work! I'm totally free!
*Yukito, Taoki and Nagisa celebrated by dancing.*
Taoki: Zahir890 would like to thank all of you for being patience and continue to review and like this story.
Yukito: Also he does not own Mermaid Melody. Just the OCs as usual
Nagisa: And now without delay, we present you Chapter 13.
*The Shirai Family continued to dance.*
Chapter 13: Battle Against A Water Demon: Mermaid Flute to the Rescue!(Indirectly).
The next day at school, Masahiro and Nagisa are walking to the school.
"Wow Masahiro! That was really the best family reunion we ever had." Nagisa said happily.
"It sure is Nagisa." Masahiro smiled, "Especially the photo shoot where Aqua Regina came out of nowhere."
"Oh Yeah! We were a bit shocked about that."
"But at the same time we were happy. She is the Sea Godness after all. So she also deserves to be in the photo."
"Yeah. You are right about that."
Masahiro took out the photo from his bag.
"You brought the photo with you?" Nagisa asked.
"Yeah." Masahiro smiled, "The girls and Kaito will be in for a surprise when they see this photo. They will be in for a further surprise when they see Aqua Regina in it."
"Oh yeah. I have it in my bag too."
So Nagisa took out the photo from his bag as well. After seeing it for a few seconds, Nagisa is getting a bit nervous in which Masahiro noticed.
"Hey pal. What's the matter?" Masahiro asked worriedly.
"It's just that I'm a bit nervous to tell the girls about the yesterday family reunion." Nagisa said.
Masahiro patted on Nagisa's head.
"Chill down Nagisa. My dad once said to me that we have to be sometimes cool and calm." Masahiro smiled.
"Well we were not cool and calm the last time." Nagisa said.
"Yeah. Maybe it's because we met Gaito and Sara for the first time, the ones who went rampage on everyone's kingdoms just for a simple misunderstanding and his simple desire not fulfilled."
"But this time we will be calm and cool. We will tell it to the girls and Kaito after all."
"Yep. Right now let's keep the photo inside or else it's gonna fly away if the wind is coming."
Nagisa agreed and so they put their photo inside the bag but were a bit shocked to discover that they brought their mermaid items in the bag.
"Crap! I brought my Mermaid Flute inside the bag." Nagisa said.
"Easy Nagisa. I brought my locket as well. It's best to keep it in our bags at all times." Masahiro said.
"Yeah. I guess."
So they zipped their bags and entered their school. There they saw Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito are chatting. It seems that they are very excited to ask Nagisa and Masahiro about the family reunion they went.
"Well it seems you are gonna be asked first since you are in the same class as them." Nagisa said, "Better get ready to answer millions of questions asked by them."
"You bet they will." Masahiro smiled, "You should be prepared as well."
"Yep."
Suddenly the bell rang which means it's time to start school.
"Well I'm heading out to my class down." Nagisa smiled, "See you later Masahiro."
"You take care pal." Masahiro smiled as he first playfully rubbed on Nagisa's hair then brofisted him.
Soon Nagisa and Masahiro went to their respective classes.
Nagisa went to his first-year class and sat on his seat. All of a sudden Hotoshi slided out of nowhere though luckily he wasn't hurt.
"Hey Hotoshi. You alright?" Nagisa asked as he helped Hotoshi get up.
"Alright?!" Hotoshi gasped, "The school is so slippery these days."
"Well at least you are not hurt."
The boys laughed.
"What did you yesterday?" Hotoshi asked.
"Family party." Nagisa said.
"Family Party? You mean Disco Family Party?" Hotoshi asked happily as he did a disco dance singing 'It's The Time To Disco.'
"Uh. Not that. Just a normal family reunion."
"Oh I see."
Soon other students are filling up the class. Hotoshi shook in fear as the maths teacher enters the class. And you know what? Hotoshi is weak in maths. His fear increases when he saw the test papers.
"Oh crap! I'm screwed." Hotoshi gulped.
"Take it easy. Masahiro told me that you have to be calm and cool." Nagisa said.
"Okay. Be calm and cool."
So the teacher started to give the maths test paper results.
After the class:
"YAHOOO!" Hotoshi said happily as he is jumping with joy.
"Whoa! What did you get?" Nagisa asked.
"An A! An A!"
"Wow! Congrats!"
Hotoshi then his disco dance singing 'It's The Time To Disco.'
"Do you do that all the time?" Nagisa sweatdropped.
"No. It's just that if something good or a miracle happens to me then I do this." Hotoshi said happily.
So he resumed his disco dancing and singing. Pretty soon Luchia, Hanon and Kaito came and saw Hotoshi doing his disco dance. The three of them giggled. Nagisa saw it and tapped on Hotoshi's shoulder.
"Yep. What is it?" Hotoshi asked.
"Looks like someone is watching you." Nagisa smiled.
Hotoshi then saw Luchia, Hanon and Kaito and gasped.
"He..He. Hi Guys." Hotoshi said nervously.
"It seems that you must be very happy about something, Hotoshi-kun." Luchia smiled.
"And what could that be?" Hanon asked.
"Is anyone weak in Maths?" Hotoshi asked.
"Sadly to say, we all are." Kaito said in which Luchia and Hanon nodded.
"You are weak in this subject as well, right?" Hanon asked.
"Yep." Hotoshi said, "But I got an A!"
He then showed his Maths test result to them. The three of them gasped.
"Wow! This is really awesome!" Luchia said happily.
"Congratulations Hotoshi." Hanon said happily.
But Kaito was a bit suspicious.
"How in the world did you get an A when you are weak in Maths?" Kaito asked, "Seems to be that you have been cheating from Nagisa."
"Oh really? Look what did he get." Hotoshi said.
He then showed the test result of Nagisa in which he got B+.
"Okay Okay. I'm sorry." Kaito said in which everybody laughed.
After a few minutes, Hotoshi asked:
"You want to talk to my pal about something?"
The three of them nodded.
"Well Nagisa. Guess I will see you later today. See ya." Hotoshi said.
"See you later." Nagisa said.
Hotoshi then left.
"Nagisa-kun. You guys really had the best family reunion ever." Luchia said happily.
"So Masahiro told you all about it." Nagisa said.
The three of them nodded with a smile.
"And he showed us the photo and Aqua Regina-sama was there as well." Hanon said happily, "It was a big surprise, right?"
"Yep." Nagisa said, "Hey. Where's Rina?"
"She's up on the roof with Masahiro listening to how he enjoyed the family reunion. She is very excited as well." Kaito said.
"And I'm gonna hear from your point of view." Hanon smiled as she grabbed Nagisa's arm and dragged him somewhere so that they can talk in private.
"I just wish I was here." Kaito sighed.
"Don't worry Kaito. We will have our family reunion once all six of us get married and have kids." Luchia smiled.
Outside the school at the place where they first met, Nagisa showed Hanon the photo. Hanon is beaming with excitement.
"Wow! So you, Hamasaki-san and Suzuka were kneeling in the front, The former mermaid princesses were in the middle, the husbands and the butler were standing at the back and Aqua Regina, out of nowhere, was standing beside you guys." Hanon said happily.
"Yep." Nagisa smiled.
"Hamasaki-san already told me what happened at that night but I really want to know from you."
"Well we came to Saito's house. Then afterwards Suzuka took us to a place not far from Saito's house. Then we showed her the mermaid items and afterwards...uh..."
"You boys had to play as a horse, right?"
Nagisa nodded with a sigh.
"Well we felt very sorry for Hamasaki-san as he had to ride with two of you in his back." Hanon said sadly, "Anyway what happened next?"
"Our parents came and took us back to Saito's house. Then we looked at the photos of our parents when they were in our age." Nagisa said, "But what really shocked us was that several photos were taken in the sea as well but Azumi showed us the camera which can take photos even in the ocean."
"The Ocean-Proof Camera. Ah! Now I remember! I really want to take photos under the sea as well."
"I see. Afterwards we went to the dining table, offer our blessing to Aqua Regina and we start eating. Oh! And not to forget that the pie came flying right straight to Saito's head."
Both he and Hanon laughed about it.
"And then we took the family photo which you saw it right now."
"What happened when you guys saw Aqua Regina in the photo?" Hanon asked.
"Well we were a bit shocked at first. We thought that Aqua Regina was there but she wasn't here. But we were too tired to talk about it so we went straight back to home."
Hanon then looked at the picture one more time before leaping in excitement and hugging Nagisa tightly.
"Kyah! You are so cute! I love you so much!" Hanon said happily as she hugged Nagisa.
"I love you too." Nagisa smiled.
Hanon then kissed Nagisa on the cheeks before kissing him on the lips. Soon Hanon is on top of Nagisa, still kissing him. Luckily no one is seeing what they are doing.
Well...except Rina and Masahiro who is watching what they are doing from above the school building. Their mouths were completely open.
Afternoon:
"I'm very sorry guys." Maki apologized, "So many people are here today and I didn't have any choice."
"It's okay, Maki-san. We will take care of it." Kaito said.
If you guys want to know what happened all of a sudden, then listen to this.
After Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito went back to Pearl Piari, Nikora told that they have to go to Maki's beach cafe immediately. All four of them are shocked but they are not the only ones. Gaito, Sara, Seira, Hippo and Yuri are joining as well. So they all went to Maki's beach cafe and there they saw a bundle of customers in which Maki is having trouble. Soon everyone quickly went to work. Luchia and Kaito are taking orders, Hippo and Yuri are greeting the guest, Gaito and Sara are just tossing the plates here and there, Seira is entertaining the guest and Hanon and Rina are cleaning the dishes and Nikora and Maki are cooking.
"Oh man. This is so not fair." Hanon whined, "Right after school, we have to work!"
"Hanon. There's something I need to talk to you about after all the guests are gone." Rina said.
"Sure."
Evening:
All the guests are gone and now the cafe is almost empty. Nikora and Maki are sweeping the floor.
"That was great work you guys." Nikora smiled.
"Once again, I apologize to you people for disrupting your activities." Maki apologized.
"It's okay Maki. At least there was something to do as we had nothing to do at all." Kaito said.
"Man. I'm so tired." Luchia sighed.
"Do we have to work as well?" Gaito grumbled.
"Well at least it was fun. We met so many guest." Sara smiled.
"Everyone really liked my entertainment. They absolutely loved it." Seira said happily.
"Well I'm glad they enjoyed it."
"Hey. Where's Hanon and Rina by the way?" Yuri asked.
"Hanon-san and Rina-san needed to talk something in the kitchen." Hippo asked.
"I see."
In the kitchen:
"What is it you want to talk to me about?" Hanon asked.
"Well about the school today." Rina said.
"What about it?"
Rina then told that she and Masahiro saw what Hanon and Nagisa were doing outside school. Hanon then instantly panic and pleaded to Rina.
"Please don't tell it to anyone. It's just that I...I..." Hanon pleaded before starting to cry.
"Hanon. Don't cry. I'm not going to tell anyone." Rina said, "But you know what you did is inappropriate in school. You were lucky that only me and Masahiro were watching. If the principal had seen it, you know what would have happen to you and Nagisa, right?"
Hanon nodded gleefully and both of them went out of the kitchen room and joined the others.
"Hanon. Rina. What were you guys talking about?" Luchia asked.
Before Hanon could say anything, the door opened. It seemed that another customer has arrived.
"Welcome to the beach cafe!" Hippo and Yuri said happily.
But who arrived? None other than Yukito Shirai, Nagisa's mother and the former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean. She was a bit confused. Everyone was surprised but they are happy.
"Ano? Is this your new home?" Yukito asked.
"That's where we work." Nikora said.
"Oh! No wonder that the Pearl Piari was locked when I came."
"There were lots of customers today so after the school, we have to go there." Luchia said, "By the way, how did you know that we are here?"
"Well after I found out that the hotel door is locked. I was wondering around the beach and then I suddenly saw you guys and so here I am."
"You were coming for a visit, right?" Rina asked.
"Yeah. Anyway, is this your first time working here?"
"No. We came here so many times." Kaito said, "It's the first time for Gaito, Sara, Seira, Hippo and Yuri."
"I see."
Hanon then immediately rushed to Yukito and hugged her.
"Yukito. Nagisa and Hamasaki-san told us so much about the family reunion yesterday." Hanon said happily, "They even showed me the photo where Aqua Regina-san was there."
"Oh yeah. What a surprise visit by her." Yukito smiled.
"So what was your reaction when you saw the photo?" Gaito said.
"When we saw the photo, we all thought that Aqua Regina was here but when we looked around, she was not there. But we are happy that she was in the photo. She is the Sea Godness after all."
"Well when we all get married. We are gonna have our own family reunion with our children when we get married." Sara smiled.
"Hey! Isn't Seira your child already?"
"What are you saying? I just met her." Seira said.
"Oh! Now I remember."
Everyone laughed.
"Yukito-san? Where is your husband?" Hippo asked.
"Out to fishing." Yukito said.
"Is everything okay?" Yuri asked.
"Everything is perfectly fine."
"It seems to me that you know them very well." Maki said, "What is your name?"
"Yukito Shirai."
"What is your professional?"
It was then Yukito gulped. She can't say to an ordinary human that she is a mermaid. If she did then she will turn into bubbles.
I will remind you again about a law. Yukito didn't turn into bubbles the last time is because it was Taoki who found her in her mermaid form. The law says that if they reveal their true form to their loved ones then they will turn into bubbles. Yukito didn't do so so that's why she was lucky.
Now she has being asked about her professional by Maki. She realized it's the end of her and she fears about her husband's and son's reaction if they find out that she is gone. However, Luchia and others understand what's going through Yukito's mind.
"It's okay. If it's anything sea related, you can still tell me." Maki said, "There's no need to be frightened."
Yukito was a bit shocked.
"What do you mean by that?" Yukito asked in shock.
"Oh. Maki finally knows Nikora's Mermaid Form." Luchia said.
"What?! Maki is Nikora's boyfriend?"
"Not really boyfriend. We are just engaged." Nikora said.
"How do you know her true form?"
"Well at night we were on the boat. Suddenly the sea started shaking the boat. I fell off from the boat but Nikora jumped on the river and saved me. Then when I opened my eyes, I discovered that she is a mermaid. She tried to swim away but I grabbed her hand and promised her not to tell anyone." Maki said.
"Hmmm. It seems that almost the same thing happened to me and Taoki."
"So now you are safe to tell him about your professional." Rina smiled.
"But..."
"Yukito. It's okay." Hanon said.
"..."
"I understand that you are thinking about your family." Kaito smiled, "But you will be safe even if you tell him."
"..."
"Yukito-san. If you really turn into bubbles..." Hippo said.
"...we will pay compensation to your family." Yuri said.
Yukito thought for a moment before sighing. Her heart is beating fast.
"My name is Yukito Shirai, former Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic Ocean and the former holder of the Aqua Pearl." Yukito said in her cheerful smile.
Much to her surprise, nothing happened to her after a few minutes. Everyone smiled at Yukito.
"Looks like nothing really happened to you after all." Sara smiled.
"I guess you are right guys after all." Yukito said.
"Former Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic Ocean?" Maki asked, "Hanon. That means you succeeded her, right?"
Hanon nodded with a smile.
"You are married, right?" Maki asked.
Yukito nodded.
"Do you have any children?" Maki asked.
"Well we have a son name Nagisa Shirai..." Yukito started.
"...who fell in love with the Hanon, the current mermaid princess." Seira said happily.
On hearing that, Maki dropped the plate but Gaito managed to catch it. Maki was surprised and in shock!
"What did you just say?" Maki gasped.
"Well to make it more simple: The son of the Former Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic Ocean fell in love with the Current Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic Ocean which is Hanon." Gaito said, "And by the way, that was the same reaction that I had when I heard that."
"Hanon. Is it true?"
"Yes Maki-san. I was so happy!" Hanon said happily.
"And I really hope that I could find someone who could be the son of the mermaid from my kingdom." Seira said.
"I hope you will." Sara said.
"Does Nagisa know you guys?" Maki asked still in shock.
"Yep Maki. He is in the same school as all of them." Nikora smiled.
"And he is my buddy as well." Kaito said.
Maki is suddenly beaming with excitement.
"Where is your son now?" Maki asked.
"He is outside with his friend." Yukito said.
"Can I see him?"
"Well..."
All of a sudden they heard screams of people as they are running away from the beach. Then they heard a evil laugh of 'MUHAHAHA!". The laughter's voice is none other than a water demon!
"Oh man! After months of peace, we have to battle another water demon again." Kaito grumbled.
"There is no time to grumble. We have to stop the water demon!" Luchia said.
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Rina said.
"Go! Go! Go!" Hanon shouted like a commander.
Kaito, Luchia, Hanon and Rina immediately left the beach cafe.
"Wait for me! Wait for me!" Seira said as she left as well.
"Yuri-san." Hippo said.
Yuri smiled and hold Hippo's hands saying, "Let's do this together."
Both Hippo and Yuri left.
"Well Sara." Gaito said.
"Let's go. They might need our help as well." Sara said.
So Gaito and Sara left as well.
"Maki. Stay inside. Don't leave till I tell you so." Nikora said.
"I understand." Maki said.
Nikora then left. Only Yukito and Maki are left.
"Maybe I will tell you about my son a bit later." Yukito said.
Maki nodded. Yukito then left as well, leaving Maki alone.
The evening skies have turned into dark, black clouds. It's a pretty scary sight. Our heroes have arrived to see the clouds being darkish and black.
"My God! Who in the world is doing that?!" Luchia gasped.
"Must be an act of the water demon." Rina said.
"Could it be that Mikeru is back for some revenge against us?" Hanon gulped.
"What are you saying? He is back to live with the ancients." Seira said.
"Whoever it is, we have to be on guard." Sara said.
"Alright! Whoever is doing this, come on out and show yourself!" Gaito shouted in anger.
"Hey calm down Gaito. Don't lose your temper at this moment." Yukito said.
"Hold on people! Threat is coming." Hippo said.
"My My! You have got good senses, haven't you?" an evil voice appeared.
Suddenly emerging from the water is the water demon octopus. She has several very VERY long legs which can catch people at very long distance. Her teeth is very sharp which makes her evil smile look even scarier! Her reddish short hair looks dirty and is ruffled all around her head! You can say that she looks pretty ugly.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Kaito demanded.
"I want nothing but flesh and blood!" The water demon octopus smiled evily.
"Who in the world are you working for?" Yuri asked.
"Nobody! Even if I do work for someone, they get defeated easily by the mermaid princesses! So I will destroy you guys! The Mermaid Princesses and anyone related to them!"
"That will never happen." Nikora shouted angrily.
"Do you have any grudge against us?" Luchia asked.
It was then the water demon octopus launched a big insult towards them.
"Grudge?! My foot!" The water demon said angrily, "Let me tell you something! You don't deserve to be the pink mermaid princess! You are not pink, you are blonde!"
Luchia was shocked at what the water demon octopus just said to her. She is now filled with anger.
"Hey stop insulting my friend!" Hanon said angrily.
"Oh look who do we have here? A cute little girl protecting the shouldn't be princess!" The water demon octopus taunted, "You don't deserve to be the Mermaid Princess either! I suggest you to go and play like a little school girl and watch kids's shows!"
"How...How..dare you?!"
"Whoever you are, stop this!" Rina said.
"Stop this?! My foot!" The water demon octopus taunted again, "All you think is yourself! You can't protect anyone and you are a failing big sister to those sissies!"
"What did you just say?!"
"You are even deaf!"
Rina was completely lost in words.
"And whoever is that orange little sissy in here, you don't deserve this title as well!" The water demon octopus again taunted, "At your age, you go and cry like crybabies!"
"You...You...I'm not a crybaby!" Seira cried.
"Well you are now!"
"You better stop this!" Sara shouted.
But the water demon octopus ignored her and turned towards Hippo.
"You don't need to be the guardian of those sissies and crybabies!" The water demon octopus shouted, "I suggest you go to Antarctica and live there for the rest of your life!"
"I will never abandon them! I will protect them!" Hippo shouted.
"I had enough of your insults!" Gaito shoted angrily at the water demon octopus, "Come brother. Let's finish that octopus with our powers!"
"I'm with you Gaito! I'm pretty pissed right now!" Kaito said angrily.
Soon Both Gaito's and Kaito's Panthalassa Symbol are starting to appear in their foreheads.
"I'm with you Gaito-sama." Yuri said as she is ready to play her piano.
But The water demon octopus are too clever for them.
"You think I will just stand there and get overpowered by your worthless Panthalassa symbol and the piano?!" The water demon octopus asked in anger, "Well take this!"
And with one of her giant legs, she hit Gaito, Kaito and Yuri badly and with full force and swooped them into the air.
"Ahhhhhhh!" The three of them are in great pain.
The girls and Hippo watched in horror as Kaito, Gaito and Yuri flung in the air. With another of her long legs, the water demon octopus slammed the three of them down with full force right straight into the sand.
"SLAM DUNK! HA HA HA!" The water demon octopus laughed evily.
The girls and Hippo looked in horror at Gaito's, Kaito's and Yuri's unconscious bodies. Some of them broke into tears.
"Kaito!" Luchia cried as she looked at him with tears on her eyes.
"Gaito! Are you alright?!" Sara cried as well as she is shaking Gaito.
"Please don't die!" Seira cried.
"Yuri-san! Please wake up!" Hippo cried as he is holding Yuri.
"Ha Ha! Cry like babies! Wa Wa!" The water demon octopus taunted them.
"You have already exceeded your and our limits!" Nikora said angrily.
"Darn it! If Masahiro is here right now, his locket would not even spare her a second." Rina thought.
Hanon wished that Nagisa is here right now.
All of a sudden, the water demon octopus looked at Yukito, who is in total shock, with great interest.
"Well Well! If it isn't the former Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic Ocean?" The water demon octopus sneered.
Everybody is shocked! Mostly Yukito.
"How...How do you know about that?!" Yukito gasped.
The water demon octopus pointed at the aqua shell locket Yukito is wearing right now. Upon realizing it, Nikora rushed and covered Yukito.
"I'm not going to let you hurt her!" Nikora said angrily.
"Nikora? What are you..." Luchia was in shock.
"He He." The water demon octopus giggled.
With her long legs, the water demon octopus, out of nowhere, grabbed Yukito from behind! Yukito is trapped as she is being tied up!
"Kyahhhhhhh!" Yukito shouted in pain as she is being dragged.
"YUKITO!" The girls and Hippo shouted in horror.
"Let her go!" Hanon said with tears in her eyes.
"NEVER!" The water demon shouted back.
"Yukito-san. We will save you." Hippo said.
"This cannot be any good." Sara gulped, "First Gaito, Kaito and Yuri are knocked down and now Yukito is being tied up."
The water demon octopus let out a roar of laughter. This time the current Mermaid Princess had enough! The four of them looked at the water demon octopus.
"What are you doing right now is totally unforgivable!" Luchia said angrily.
"We will never forgive you for what you did to our friends right now!" Hanon said angrily.
"It's payback time and you will regret it!" Rina also said in anger.
"Let's go girls and save Yukito!" Seira said in determination.
Once again the water demon octopus knew what's gonna happen next.
"You think I will watch you transform into your idol form and listen to your pathetic songs?!" The water demon octopus shouted, "Not today!"
And so the water demon octopus, all of a sudden, grabbed Hanon with her long legs just before they could transform.
"Ahh!" Hanon cried as she has being dragged as well.
"HANON!" Luchia, Rina and Seira shouted.
"Oh no! Now the water demon octopus has got both of the mermaid princesses from the South Atlantic Ocean." Sara said in horror.
"Current and Former." Hippo said in agony.
"Darn it! This octopus is very clever! She knew what is going to happen next and acted quickly before that can happen." Nikora said.
Hippo and Sara nodded in agreement.
"Hanon." Yukito said sadly as she is being tied up on one of the water demon octopuses's long legs.
"Yukito. I wish your son was here right now. He could have saved us." Hanon sadly said as she is being tied up on another of the water demon octopuses's long legs.
"I hope so too."
"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU OR ELSE I WILL CRUSH YOU TO DEATH!" The water demon octopus shouted in anger as she squeezed both of them tightly.
"Uhhh!" Both Yukito and Hanon withered in pain as they are nearly falling unconscious.
The others are becoming worried. The water demon octopus is all over them. First knocking Kaito, Gaito and Yuri out like a rug of sand and now taking Yukito and Hanon hostage.
"Is there anything we could do?" Hippo gulped.
"Not quite." Sara said sadly, "Whatever we do will be quickly known to her and she will hit or grab us before we can do anything."
"We are all doomed!" Seira cried.
"Is there anyone left to save us?" Nikora asked worriedly.
"Darn it! How can we beat her?" Rina muttered angrily as she is clenching her fist.
"Nagisa-kun. Where are you? Your mom and Hanon are in great danger. We need you!" Luchia said to herself sadly with tears in her eyes.
Hotoshi and Nagisa are enjoying themselves as they are riding their own bicycles. Suddenly they saw dark, black clouds. Hotoshi became a bit frightened because he thought that a storm is coming. Nagisa wondered how the evening skys all of a sudden changed into dark, black clouds. They are not quite far from the beach where there is a battle going on.
"Oh my days! A storm's coming." Hotoshi said in panic.
"I don't think so. I didn't feel any strong breeze right now. There's no thunder or lightening either." Nagisa said.
"Even so, let's return to our homes now or else we are gonna be blown away as if we are nothing."
"I think I would stay on the top of the tree. My house is still far off."
"You're sure?"
Nagisa nodded with a smile. Hotoshi hold Nagisa's hands.
"Okay then. But be safe and don't die." Hotoshi said.
"I will be fine pal." Nagisa smiled.
"Alright then. See ya."
Hotoshi then immediately left. He is speeding up because he feared that something bad is going to happen.
Nagisa parked his bicycle near the three. Taking his Mermaid Flute out from his pocket, he climbed at the top of the tree and looked at the black sky for a few minutes.
"What a funny weather we are having." Nagisa sighed himself, "Oh well, let's play."
And so with his Mermaid Flute, he began to play the tune of one of the songs 'Kodou (Perfect Harmony).'
Oh dear. It seems like the mermaid princesses and others are running out of options. Kaito, Gaito and Yuri are still knocked down cold. Yukito and Hanon are still tied up in the water demon octopus's long legs.
"Whatcha gonna do. Whatcha gonna do. Whatcha gonna do when something bad comes to you." The water demon octopus began to sing and taunt them.
Suddenly they heard the flute tune of one of the mermaid princesses's songs 'Kodou.'
"Wow! It seems that the flute's tune is almost the same tune of our song." Rina smiled, "Which could mean one thing..."
"Nagisa-kun is here! He is here!" Luchia said happily.
"Where? I don't see him." Hippo said as he looked around for Nagisa.
"Could it be that his Mermaid Flute can be heard in long distance?" Nikora asked.
"Hurray! Your son is here! What a beautiful melody!" Hanon said happily who is still tied up.
"I know and I am glad." Yukito smiled.
Down below, Seira noticed something strange about the water demon octopus.
"Guys! Look at her!" Seira said as she pointed at the water demon octopus.
The water demon octopus is acting strange. She is smiling and wondering being dazed. Suddenly everyone realized that she has been distracted by the Mermaid Flute's tune! She has fallen for it!
"My...god. Who...could be playing it so...beautifully?" The water demon octopus smiled as she is wandering around searching for the flute's tune.
"It seems that she has fallen heels on The Mermaid Flute's tune!" Sara said, "It's distracting her."
Because the water demon octopus is distracted by the flute's tune, Yukito and Hanon are free from her grip. They landed right into water, turning into their mermaid forms and then swam right straight to the beach and changed into human form a few seconds later after Nikora gave them the towel.
"Hanon. Yukito. Are you alright?" Luchia asked.
"Just a little bit cough." Hanon said who coughed a little bit.
"We are okay other than that." Yukito said.
Now all 6 of them stared at the water demon octopus who is still distracted by the Mermaid Flute's tune.
"Why are you princesses staring?" Hippo shouted, "There's no time. Are you gonna let his efforts being wasted?!"
"Oh sorry. We are just making sure she is still distracted." Luchia said.
"Alright then. Let's do this together." Rina said, "It's time for payback for what she did to our friends."
"I really hope that octopus doesn't find Nagisa." Hanon said.
"Don't worry Hanon. Let's sing with the Mermaid Flute." Seira said happily.
So the four current Mermaid Princess began to transform into their idol forms.
"Pink Pearl Voice!"
"Mizuiro Pearl Voice!"
"Green Pearl Voice!"
"Orange Pearl Voice!"
After they transformed into their idol forms, they transformed into their second idol form. After doing so, they are getting ready to sing.
"Yukito. You can join us as well." Hanon smiled, "Let's sing together as the current and former mermaid princesses."
"Sara. You can join us as well." Seira smiled.
"How...How can we?" Yukito asked in shock.
"Why not?" Luchia asked.
"We don't have the pearls to sing." Sara said, "So we cannot transform."
"Oh." Rina said sadly.
"You girls go ahead." Nikora said.
But before they could sing, they could hear a voice saying: "Don't sing right now. I have something to give to Yukito and Sara."
In a bright flash light there comes Aqua Regina smiling at them.
"Aqua Regina-sama." The mermaid princesses said in surprise.
"Yes. I am here." Aqua Regina smiled, "I realized it is quite a shame that the current mermaid princesses will sing without the help of the former mermaid princesses. So I have the pearls for the former mermaid princesses."
"Really?" Sara asked.
"Yep. Here you go."
So Aqua Regina gave the extra orange pearl to Sara. After the extra orange pearl went to Sara's shell locket, she began to transform.
"Orange Pearl Voice!"
Soon Sara is now in her idol form after the transformation.
"Hooray! We can sing together." Seira said happily.
"I'm very glad to do so." Sara smiled.
"Yukito. Here's an extra aqua pearl for you." Aqua Regina smiled.
After the extra aqua pearl went to Yukito's shell locket, she began to transform.
"Mizuiro Pearl Voice!"
In her idol transformation, her median-size aqua dress is with double layers filled with aqua colors. She wears blue strapless dress with a slit on the side ending at the knee. She also has aqua gloves and shoes with different layers on it. However, there are two difference between Hanon and Yukito. One is that a bow is tied on Hanon's back but Yukito doesn't have the bow. Another difference is that Yukito has an aqua heart necklace in which Hanon doesn't have. When her transformation is complete, the girls were awe-stuck by Yukito's idol form.
"OMG! You look so pretty." Luchia said.
"Yeah. You transform like this when you were battling against the water demons, right?" Rina asked.
Yukito nodded with a smile.
"I'm so glad that now we can sing together." Hanon said happily.
"I'm glad too." Yukito smiled.
"Hanon. Let's talk about fashion later." Sara said, "Let's finish this water demon octopus."
"We are all ready now." Seira said.
"Now sing, current and former mermaid princesses." Aqua Regina smiled, "Sing with the tune of the Mermaid Flute."
"Okay. Here we go." Luchia said before everybody said:
"PICHI PICHI VOICE LIVE START!"
Arashi no umi ni utarete makesou na ima wo
Furiharae ai wo mitsumete kono mune ni
"AHHHH! OH WOW! AHHHH!" The water demon is screaming in pain as she is desperately trying to cover her ears but in vain.
And why? She is receiving TRIPLE THE DAMAGE! First because of the mermaid princesses's singing in which it is damaging the water demon octopus. But at the same time, the Mermaid Flute's tune is distracting her in which it is DOUBLING the damage because...SHE IS NOT COVERING HER EARS because of the distraction and the mermaid princesses's singing.
Tachiagaru yo nando demo yakusoku no tame ni

Ima koso, ima koso

Takanaru KODOU shinjitsu wa tatta hitotsu
Kumori no nai kagami ni utsushite
The water demon octopuses's ears are pretty busted already because of the distraction of the Mermaid Flute which forced her not to cover her ears.
"AHHH! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" The water demon octopus is receiving more pain as a result.
Tsutawaru KODOU wakiagaru ai no chikara
Soshite umareru atsui PAAFEKUTO HAAMONII
"Love Shower Pitch! Encore wa ika ga?" The six mermaid princesses said.
The water demon said nothing. She simply collapsed right straight into the water as a result of the Triple Damage she received. As she collapsed into the water the dark black skies turn back into evening skies again. The mermaid princesses celebrate another victory. However, the flute's tune is still playing.
"Hooray! We finally defeated the octopus." Luchia said happily.
"I have to admit thought that the octopus was really clever." Rina said, "She knows what we were gonna do next and acted quickly before that can happen."
"I was thinking the same thing." Nikora said.
"I wanna give our thanks to Nagisa. Where is he now?" Seira said happily.
"I think he is somewhere but we will certainly give our thanks to him." Sara smiled.
"It seems like your son is still playing the Mermaid Flute even though the water demon octopus is gone." Hanon said.
"Come on Hanon. Let him play." Yukito said, "He saved us and he cares about us."
"I know. You are his mother after all."
Kaito, Gaito and Yuri finally woke up. They are still a bit dozed off though.
"Kaito!" Luchia said happily.
"Gaito!" Sara said happily.
"Yuri-san!" Hippo said happily.
They ran and hugged their respective loved ones.
"Hey what's that tune?" Kaito asked.
"It's the tune of the flute." Luchia smiled.
"The tune of the flute?" Yuri gasped, "Then that means..."
Kaito, Gaito and Yuri are finally back on their senses.
"Yes it's the tune of the Mermaid Flute." Hippo smiled, "Nagisa saved us."
"Well I have to give a big thanks to that kid." Gaito smiled, "But what happened next after we were knocked down?"
"After you guys were knocked down, the water demon octopus grabbed Yukito and Hanon and tied them up with her legs." Sara said, "Then we heard the Mermaid Flute's tune and the water demon octopus was distracted by it. Then Aqua Regina-sama came and gave us an extra orange and aqua pearl to me and Yukito. So we sang with the Mermaid Flute's tune and the water demon octopus collapsed."
"So you and Yukito can now transform into idol form, right?"
Sara and Yukito nodded with a smile.
"But then why is he still playing the Mermaid Flute?" Kaito asked.
"Do you have a problem with that?" Rina asked.
"Uh No."
"Let Nagisa-kun play. He saved us." Luchia said, "Otherwise we were truly gone."
"Is he here right now?" Yuri asked.
"Nope but I think he is around somewhere." Hippo said.
"Are three of you alright?" Nikora asked, "You took a pretty bad hit from the water demon octopus."
"Yeah. We are okay." Kaito said.
"Thankfully we didn't land on the rocks." Gaito said, "Otherwise we would have been dead by now."
And then the flute's tune slowly disappeared and then everything became silent with the exception of the cool breeze.
"Well it seems like Nagisa has stopped playing for a while." Yuri said.
Maki appeared and gave a huge sigh of relief after seeing everyone's okay.
"Thank God! You guys are okay." Maki said.
"Yeah but if it wasn't for Yukito's son, we would have been defeated by now." Nikora said.
"He helped you all?"
"Indirectly." Seira said.
"What happened?"
"Well as the water demon octopus was laughing evily, the Mermaid Flute's tune came and distracted her so we were able to defeat her." Rina said.
"The Mermaid Flute?"
"Yeah. It's in the hands of Nagisa Shirai, Yukito's son." Seira said happily.
"Is he here right now?"
"Nope." Luchia said.
"Can I see him right now?"
"Well sure." Sara said, "Let's all change back and..."
"No Sara. I want to him to see my idol form!" Hanon said.
Everyone looked at Hanon.
"Hanon?" Luchia asked.
"He knows my mermaid form and human form but not my idol form." Hanon cried, "He never got the chance to see us like this so it's the perfect time for him to do so. He saved us so it's time to repay him."
"I agree with you Hanon." Rina smiled, "Masahiro also deserves to see us in our idol form. If he is here right now."
"Exactly."
"Absolutely not!" Hippo shouted.
Everyone was shocked.
"Hippo! Why?!" Seira cried.
"Yeah Hippo. Don't you think Nagisa and Masahiro also deserves to see the girls in their idol form?" Kaito asked angrily, "They are also part of our sea family!"
"Because some other people might see it and they will start taking pictures on us." Hippo said, "And then we will be doomed in the land forever."
"Well I don't see anyone right now." Gaito said.
"Which means it is safe for them to show off in front of Nagisa." Yuri giggled.
"But..." Hippo tried to protest.
"Hippo. Think about right now what would happen to us if Nagisa hasn't played his Mermaid Flute." Luchia said.
"We were clearly in the back foot." Rina said, "Nagisa had saved us from getting us killed."
"Which means he clearly has the right to see our idol forms." Sara said, "There's nothing wrong with that."
"If they were other people then we would have thought otherwise." Seira said, "But now it's the time."
"Hippo please. Nagisa never got the chance to see us in our idol form." Hanon pleaded, "We didn't know lot about him at that time, nor we didn't about him being the son of the former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean which is Yukito."
"My son really wanted to see him my idol form." Yukito said, "But I couldn't show him because I didn't have the pearl at that time."
"Your husband saw it when you were the mermaid princess, right?" Nikora asked.
"Yep."
"See Hippo? Even he wasn't able to see his mom's idol form because she didn't have the aqua pearl at that time. Now's the time." Hanon said with tears in her eyes, "Are you gonna let him deny the right to see his mom's idol form?"
Hippo realized that he made a mistake of not allowing the mermaid princesses to let them reveal their idol form. Before that he disapproved love but now he doesn't do it anymore because the boys that Hanon and Rina have come to love are the sons of the former mermaid princess whom Hanon and Rina succeeded. He felt like they also deserve a chance as well but at the same time he was worried about other people seeing it.
"Alright but only AND ONLY Nagisa and Hamasaki-san." Hippo said, "No one else."
Everybody cheered.
"Thank you so much Hippo." Luchia said happily.
Hippo nodded with a smile.
"Come on guys." Sara said happily, "Let's go find Nagisa. I bet he must be playing hide and seek right now."
"Where are you Nagisa?" Seira started singing as they started to search for Nagisa.
"Wait up guys. Not too fast." Rina said as she is following Seira, Sara and Luchia.
"Yukito. You will finally get your son to see our idol form ever since you gave birth to him." Hanon said happily.
"I'm so happy and so excited." Yukito said happily, "Come and let's find my son together."
"Hai!"
So they followed the others.
"Wait for us!" Kaito, Gaito, Yuri and Hippo shouted as they followed the others.
"Well Maki. You can come with us if you want." Nikora smiled.
"I'm really excited to meet him." Maki said, "By the way, can you tell me about his Mermaid Flute?"
So while following the others, Nikora told Maki all about the Mermaid Flute.
Nagisa was a bit tired after playing the Mermaid Flute was so long. He looked at the sky and was surprise that the evening skies are back again. Actually, he plays the flute with his eyes closed.
"What just happened all of a sudden? How did the sky change so quickly?" Nagisa asked himself.
Nevertheless, he hold his Mermaid Flute and climbed down from the tree. He wondered how Hotoshi might have reacted when he sees the evening skies so quickly. Just before he could leave, he heard many voices approaching towards him.
"NAGISA!"
Nagisa then saw Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Yukito and many others are rushing towards him. Before he has the time to see their idol form, Hanon jumped and hugged Nagisa as they both fell down.
"Hanon! Back off!" Nikora said angrily, "Do this at home. Not on street!"
"Sorry. I'm so excited to let him see my idol form." Hanon said happily as she let Nagisa go.
"Hey son. Are you okay?" Yukito asked.
"Yeah. I'm okay." Nagisa said as Yukito helped him get up.
But when Nagisa got up, he saw that Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Seira, Sara and Yukito, his mom, are in their idol form. This is the first time he saw his mom being in her idol form ever since he was born although his mom told him about it and the first time he saw Luchia and her friends in their idol form ever since he met them.
"Mo...Mom." Nagisa gasped, "You are in your idol form!"
"That's right." Yukito smiled, "You really wanted to see me in your idol form, didn't you? Now's the time."
"Dad saw it before when you were young."
Yukito nodded with a smile.
"Nagisa-kun. This is our idol form." Luchia said, "We defeat our enemies using this form."
"I think my mom told me about that before when I was young." Nagisa said.
"So do you like it?" Rina smiled.
"I think you guys are really awesome in this form!" Nagisa said happily.
Everyone smiled at Nagisa.
"Nagisa. Who do you think is the prettiest?" Seira smiled.
Nagisa looked at them for a while before saying, "I think Hanon and my mom are the prettiest."
"You are so Biased!" Luchia and Seira whined which made everyone laugh.
Suddenly Nagisa realized one thing.
"Mom, Sara. How were you able to transform into idol form when you don't have the pearls to sing?" Nagisa asked.
"Aqua Regina-sama gave us the extra pearls so that we can transform and sing with the current mermaid princess." Sara smiled.
"Which we did." Yukito said happily.
"Does anyone know that you girls are in your idol form as well?" Nagisa asked.
"We knew it a long time ago before we even met you and Masahiro." Gaito asked.
"And Rihito knows it as well." Kaito said.
"And now you are also on the list." Yuri said happily.
Nagisa thought for a moment.
"Dark clouds, idol form." Nagisa said before suddenly realizing, "Wait so that means..."
At that moment, Yukito instantly hugged Nagisa while Hanon hold one of Nagisa's hands where the Mermaid Flute is there.
"Nagisa. Thank you so much for saving us." Hanon said with tears on her eyes, "We were really on the back foot. The water demon octopus had us in her grip."
"If you haven't play that flute we would really have been crushed to death." Yukito said with tears in her eyes, "I don't know what would have happen to you and your father."
Nagisa was shocked when he heard that his mom and Hanon would have been crushed to death if he hadn't played the Mermaid Flute. Yukito is still crying.
"You are my mom after all." Nagisa smiled, "Don't cry. You are safe with me."
Everyone smiled as Yukito and Nagisa hugged each other like a true mother-son relationship. Kaito then instantly remembered the moments he had with his foster mom.
"Man. I just wish she is here right now." Kaito thought sadly.
"Whoa! What happened to you guys?!" Nagisa asked in shock as he looked at Kaito's, Gaito's and Yuri's injuries.
"We were hit pretty badly by the water demon octopus." Kaito said.
"Water demon octopus?"
"Yeah. What happened was that the water demon octopus emerged from the sea." Luchia said.
"And she started to insult us which drove us mad." Rina said.
"She was so mean to us!" Hanon cried.
"Yeah and we tried to overpower her with our Panthalassa powers but..." Kaito said.
"She hit us with one of her long legs with full force and then we were up in the air and then we got slammed down by her." Gaito sighed.
"Thankfully we landed on the sand and not the rocks." Yuri said.
"She first dragged your mom and tighten her up." Sara said, "Then she dragged Hanon as they were going to transform into their idol form."
"But then we heard your mermaid flute's tune and she was distracted by it." Seira said happily.
"Then Aqua Regina-sama gave an extra orange pearl and aqua pearl to Sara and your mom so that they can transform and sing with the current mermaid princesses." Hippo said.
"The water demon octopus couldn't do anything because your flute's tune distracted her which means that she couldn't cover her ears." Nikora said.
"And after that, she simply collapsed right into the sea." Yukito smiled.
"It seems you guys had a really clever opponent." Nagisa said in which everyone nodded.
Hippo then went straight to Nagisa.
"Nagisa. You have now witness the idol form of our mermaid princess." Hippo said, "So I request you not to tell anyone about it."
"Sure I won't tell." Nagisa said, "But what about Masahiro?"
"It's better you don't tell him if you meet him next time." Rina smiled, "I'm very excited to show Masahiro my idol form."
"Not only yours. All of us." Hanon said in which Rina nodded.
"You and Hamasaki-san only." Hippo said, "Please don't tell it to others."
"Are you going to make the same plea to Masahiro once he finds out?" Nagisa asked.
Hippo nodded.
"I see."
Then Maki came from behind and struggled his way to see Nagisa.
"Are you son of the former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean, Yukito, and Hanon's boyfriend?" Maki asked with a smile.
Nagisa is SHELL-SHOCKED!
"Who are you and how do you know about me?" Nagisa asked in shock.
"I believe you met him before but only briefly." Hanon said.
"This is Maki." Nikora smiled, "You are free to tell anything sea related to him."
"And he now knows Nikora's mermaid form." Luchia said happily.
"Wait. How?" Nagisa was confused.
"It happened at night when you and your mom had a family reunion with others. It's also almost the same thing as what happened to your mom and dad." Nikora said, "We were on the boat, waves came, we fell down, he saw me and I was lucky not to turn into bubbles."
"I see. Well then Maki, yes I am." Nagisa smiled.
"Sorry if I shocked you. Your mom told me everything about you." Maki said.
"Nah. I'm fine."
Everyone became silent untill Maki gave his thanks to Nagisa.
"I really want to thank you for saving our friends using your Mermaid Flute." Maki said, "If she had finished my friends, she could have finished me and my beach cafe as well."
"Your welcome. And how do you know about it?" Nagisa asked.
"I told him if you don't mind." Nikora said.
"I see."
"It seems that your Mermaid Flute is very beautiful. It's unlike any other flute." Maki said.
Nagisa nodded with a smile. Maki then thought of something.
"This gives me one idea." Maki said, "Kaito, Luchia, all of you. Can you remain here tonight?"
"Sure." Everyone said.
"Yukito. Can you stay here as well?"
"I would love to." Yukito smiled.
"But why Maki-san?" Luchia asked.
"Well given that Yukito is the former mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean and Nagisa is her son and that she has a proud husband, I thought I might want to give a special dinner to the Shirai Family." Maki smiled, "The Shirai Family from the South Atlantic Ocean."
Everyone cheered.
"This is gonna be awesome!" Luchia said.
"I'm so excited to work at night with the Shirai Family being our guest." Hanon said happily.
"This is really gonna be an exciting night." Rina smiled.
"I'm gonna give my best entertainment ever." Seira said.
"I'm so happy." Sara smiled.
"Really? Thank you so much!" Yukito said happily.
"Thanks Maki. This is gonna be amazing." Nagisa smiled.
"I can't offer anything for free but I will be sure to give you guys discounts." Maki smiled.
"That's better than paying in full."
"Come on guys. Let's prepare for the night." Kaito said happily.
"Well we need to prepare in aqua colors since Yukito was the mermaid princess of the South Atlantic Ocean." Gaito said.
"Yipee!" Yuri exclaimed happily.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's do it right now." Hippo said.
"Nagisa. Just tell your dad that to come here at night and you can pick him up. Your mom will stay here." Maki said.
Nagisa agreed and went off with his bicycle while the others return to Maki's beach cafe.
At night:
Luchia and others are having a friendly chat while they are waiting for Nagisa and Taoki to arrive. They have done the decorations, most of them are in aqua color. After a few minutes, the door opened and who came? None other than Taoki Shirai.
"Welcome to the Beach Cafe!" Hippo and Yuri said happily.
"Uh Thanks." Taoki said.
When suddenly he saw Yukito, he cried in joy and hugged her.
"Yukito! You are alright!" Taoki said happily.
"I'm alright. It's okay Taoki." Yukito smiled as she hugged him back.
"So your son told you everything what has happened in your evening." Nikora smiled.
"Yeah and I was extremely worried." Taoki said, "Three of your friends got swooped in the sky, then that water demon octopus grabbed her and Hanon."
"But then your son saved us." Hanon said happily.
"I know and I'm glad."
"Taoki. Look at us." Kaito said as his, Gaito's and Yuri's face was covered in some bandages.
"Ouch. You guys were hurt. Didn't you use your Panthalassa powers?"
"Well we were about to but then suddenly she hit us with one of her legs and slammed us down as we were in the air. Yuri also suffered the same fate." Gaito said.
"It was lucky that we didn't land on the rocks." Yuri said.
"The water demon octopus was very clever. She first grabbed your wife and then Hanon just as we were about to transform." Luchia said.
"But then we heard your son's Mermaid Flute's tune which is almost exactly the same as one of our song's tune." Rina smiled.
"And the water demon octopus was distracted." Seira said.
"Aqua Regina gave us the extra orange and aqua pearl so that we can transform and sing with the current mermaid princesses." Sara smiled, "You know your wife's idol form, don't you?"
Taoki nodded with a smile.
"And then they started singing and the water demon octopus is defeated." Hippo smiled.
"And then we searched for Nagisa and showed him our idol form." Hanon said happily.
"By the way, where's our son?" Yukito smiled.
At then in comes Nagisa Shirai holding his Mermaid Flute.
"Well Well if it isn't Nagisa?" Nikora smiled.
"The descendant of the man who saved our race and saved us today." Sara smiled.
Hanon rushed and hugged Nagisa as usual.
"Well now we have former and current generation aqua lovers." Hippo smiled.
"You can say that again." Yukito and Hanon smiled.
Maki then came from the toilet and smiled when he saw Taoki Shirai.
"So you must be Yukito's husband and Nagisa's father, right?" Maki smiled.
"Yep. Taoki Shirai is my name." Taoki smiled.
"I'm Maki."
"Say. You do look like that you are married. Where's your wife?"
"I was married but she passed away. I'm now engaged with Nikora."
"I see."
"Oh by the way guys there's one of your customers are coming." Nagisa said, "And she is pretty pissed."
"Who could that be?" Luchia asked.
To everyone's shock, Taki entered stomping her foot in anger. She is really pretty not happy.
"TAKI?!" Everyone asked in shock.
"With the exception of the Shirai Family, I demand that one of you answer as to why you guys locked me in the hotel?" Taki demanded.
"I thought you said you were going outside so that's why I locked the hotel." Nikora said.
"I said I will go LATER so please keep it open. Not I'm going outside now so please lock the door."
"But then how did you get out?" Kaito asked.
"I used my magic power to teleport myself."
"Taki-san. We're sorry that we didn't hear you properly." Hippo said.
"You should be. Nagisa told me so much about what happened this evening and I was fuming myself that I missed it."
"Well. Mistakes can happen sometimes." Yukito said.
"Look at you three. You simply got whacked by that water demon octopus!"
"Taki. She's not that simple. She was very clever octopus." Kaito said.
"Yeah and before we could do anything she simply smacked us with her legs and flung us up." Gaito said.
"And then we were slammed down right into the sand and then we were unconscious." Yuri said.
"Well at least you weren't killed." Taki said in relief.
"The water demon octopus first grabbed Yukito and then Hanon before we could even transform." Luchia said.
"Yeah and we were clearly on the backfoot." Rina said.
"And then my son came to our rescue." Yukito said happily.
"Yep but indirectly." Taoki smiled, "He was playing his Mermaid Flute at the top of the tree and the water demon octopus got distracted by the tune of the flute."
"Aqua Regina gave me and Yukito an extra orange and aqua pearl so that we can transform and sing with the current mermaid princess." Sara said.
"And so we did and the water demon octopus simply collapsed." Seira said happily.
"And then we found Nagisa and showed our idol forms to him." Hanon said happily.
"And it's my humble request to you Taoki that please don't tell it to others." Hippo pleaded.
"Of course I won't tell." Taoki said, "But what about Masahiro and his parents?"
"We will show them our idol form as well so it's better you don't tell them." Rina smiled, "I can't wait to show Masahiro our idol forms."
Taki remained silent for a while.
"Well it's lucky that Nagisa was playing his Mermaid Flute at that time." Taki said, "Otherwise all of you would have been killed."
"Yeah and I wouldn't have seen my mom ever again." Nagisa said.
"But now we are all here let's forget about what happened this evening and start serving to our special guests." Maki said.
And so Taoki, Yukito and Nagisa sat on the chairs.
"I'm sorry I don't give anything for free but I will give you discounts." Maki said.
"That will be fine." Taoki said.
Soon Kaito and Luchia gave them the menu. After selecting the order, Gaito and Sara started throwing plates which surprised the Shirai family.
"Whoa! How in the world did you do that?" Taoki asked.
"Pure Easy. I simply know how to draw it at the right places." Gaito smiled.
"What about you Sara?" Yukito asked.
"I learned it from Gaito." Sara smiled.
Hippo and Luchia noticed that Seira is looking at Nagisa's Mermaid Flute curiously.
"Is there anything wrong Seira-san?" Hippo asked.
"No. It's just I wonder if my song can be played on his flute." Seira said.
"Don't worry Seira. Let them eat first and then we will see to it." Luchia smiled.
"Okay."
"Here's your dinner." Nikora and Maki said proudfully as they are carrying lots of dishes full of food.
"Maki-san. Let me help." Kaito said and so he is carrying two dishes.
15 minutes later:
"How's the food?" Hanon smiled.
"The food is awesome!" Yukito said happily, "You two, Nikora and Maki, should be the top chefs in Japan."
"We cook our best." Nikora smiled
"No wonder so many come people here." Taoki said.
"I usually close my cafe at night but this is for you guys." Maki smiled.
"Well thank you." Nagisa said and he burped a little which made everyone laugh.
"Your welcome, descendant of the man who saved our race." Luchia said.
"How many times do you have to say that?"
Everyone laughed.
"Well we love to say it because if your ancestor hadn't saved our race, then we would have never been here by now." Rina said.
"Or by the way how was your family reunion?" Yuri asked.
"It was awesome! We had the best family reunion." Taoki said, "The most surprising thing was..."
"Aqua Regina being on the photo, right?" Kaito asked.
"How did you know?" Yukito asked in surprise.
"Your son showed me the photo when we were outside the school." Hanon said happily.
"I see."
"But mom. She is a Sea Godness so we should be happy that she is in the photo." Nagisa said.
"I agree with you. She gave you guys all the new songs she has so that you can defeat the enemies."
"Does your Mermaid Flute have all of our songs?" Hanon asked.
Nagisa nodded with a smile in which everyone cheered but Seira is a bit silent.
"Ano Nagisa? Can I ask you something for a minute?" Seira asked.
"Sure. What is it?" Nagisa asked.
"Can your flute also play my song?"
"Of course it can but do you have your own song?"
"Yep. I really want to hear the flute's tune of my song. It will be so beautiful."
"The flute doesn't know about your song yet but after you sing a few lines it will eventually will. Mom, Dad. What do you think?"
Taoki and Yukito smiled at their son.
"Of course we will love to hear it." Taoki smiled.
"Oh boy! I can't wait to hear your song Seira." Yukito said happily.
"Thank you." Seira smiled.
Everybody got seated.
"Okay Seira. Do your best." Sara smiled.
Seira smiled at the former mermaid princess and began to sing:
Ai to yume ga hitotsu ni nari
Kanashii "ima" wo hoshikuzu ni shite kureru kara
Shinjite...
The aqua mermaid statue of the Mermaid Flute began to spin around a few times. Everyone stared in awe at the spinning aqua mermaid statue.
Umareta koto hokori ni shite
Tsuyoku hikaru tenshi no you na manazashi wo kumorasenaide
Kono chikara yume no tame ni
Kaseru nara umarete yukitai no
Ai ni naritai...
And then the Mermaid Flute shined, indicating it has found Seira's song. As soon as The Mermaid Flute shined, everyone realized that it can finally play the tune of Seira's song.
"Son." Yukito smiled.
Nagisa nodded, took a breathe and began to play Seira's song 'Birth of Love' with his flute. Everyone was suddenly getting excited as the flute's tune is almost matching the song's tune of Seira song.
"It is really lovely when you see someone singing and the other one playing the flute, right?" Maki smiled.
Everyone agreed. Seira continued to sing with her beautiful and cheerful voice while Nagisa is playing the Mermaid Flute.
Itsumo soba de mitsumetekita
Osorenaide tabi datte yuku sono yuuki
Mabushii...
Kurai ginga terasu tame ni
Umaretekita inochi no hikari sono imi wo tsutaete itte
Sono chikara ai no tame ni
Tsukau nara mirai no chizu de sae
Kaete yukeru wa
Kono chikara yume no tame ni
Hateru nara umarete yukitai no
Ai ni naritai...
After Seira finished singing and Nagisa finished playing, everyone clapped and cheered at Seira and Nagisa.
"BRAVO! BRAVO!" Everyone said happily.
