Chapter 17: Pearl Piari Fun and a glimpse of Nagisa's and Masahiro's birth.
It was another beautiful morning at Pearl Piari with everyone relaxing after hectic days in Maki's beach cafe and battling against the water demons. Everyone was still a bit tired because they stayed late at night in Maki's beach cafe.
"Thanks for letting me stay here with you guys." Maki smiled.
"It's really a pleasure that you are staying with us permanently." Nikora said.
What happened was that Maki, at Kaito's request, sold his house so that he can live with Nikora since he now knows Nikora's Mermaid Form. He is now living here permanently.
As they all relaxed they began to think about what happened in the last three days.
"Wow! It's really been the most toughest day for us." Luchia sighed.
"Yeah. We had to battle three water demons in three days. One each day." Kaito said.
"Two sisters and their brother." Hanon said.
"With their brother being the toughest." Rina said.
"I never even thought that they could so clever than us." Sara said.
"True. Even Lady Bat, Alala, Launah, The Black Beauty Sisters and others didn't think of doing like that." Hippo said.
"Which is attack us before we can do anything." Seira said.
"I'm still the smartest Panthalassa Prince in the world!" Gaito proclaimed.
"There we go. Another proudful boasting by Gaito-sama." Yuri smiled.
Everyone laughed.
"These three days really took a toll on me." Sara sighed, "I really feel like not working anymore."
"I still haven't got the payment from the boys." Maki sighed, "All the hard work wasted."
"Don't worry Maki. We will catch them." Nikora said.
"But we also had the good times, right?" Taki asked.
Everyone nodded.
"True. The boys helped us even though it's indirectly." Luchia said.
"And we showed them our idol forms." Hanon said happily.
"They also saw their mom's idol form for the first time since their birth." Rina said.
"And we also invite them to dinner with us." Sara said.
"Their parents also came as well." Seira said happily.
"And not to mention about Saito's and Azumi's rescue." Kaito said.
"He is also a Panthalassa after all." Gaito said.
"Also we found out that Suzuka is a mermaid because Aqua Regina gave her a chance to become a mermaid." Yuri said happily.
"Not only that. We also found that Nagisa's and Masahiro's best friend for life are the sons of a mermaid from South Pacific Ocean and Arctic Ocean respectively." Taki said.
"Speaking about that, are you going to tell that to the English teacher?" Nikora asked.
"Well of course, we will tell." Luchia said happily.
"But you must make sure that Hotoshi, Kazama-san, Hamasaki-san and Nagisa doesn't hear about it." Hippo said.
"True. Otherwise they will be very upset." Taki said.
"We know very well. So untill now, let's think that Kazama-san and Hotoshi are just normal humans." Hanon said.
"Can we show them our idol forms?" Seira asked happily.
"Not now. First let Coco and Noel realize that they are the sons of a mermaid from South Pacific Ocean and Arctic Ocean." Rina said.
"We are still not really sure about their parents so let's keep that for awhile." Maki said.
Everyone nodded. Suddenly there was a bell ringing.
"I wonder who could it be?" Luchia asked.
So she opened the door and it's none other than Saito, Azumi and Suzuka. Upon seeing them, Luchia hugged Azumi and others rushed to see them.
"Azumi. It's you." Luchia said happily.
"Hi guys!" Azumi smiled.
"Hello." Everyone said.
"Hey bro. What's up?" Kaito smiled as he brofisted Saito.
"Yeah. We are fine Kaito." Saito said.
"Hey about me?!" Gaito whined in which everybody laughed.
"Hey chill down bro. We are the Panthalassa boys after all."
Both Gaito and Kaito smiled upon hearing that.
"Hey Suzuka. Let's play outside." Seira said happily.
"Okay." Suzuka smiled.
"I'm joining you." Yuri said happily in which Seira agreed.
"Okay girls but don't get hurt while playing outside." Nikora said.
"And don't get lost." Azumi smiled.
The three girls agreed and went off to play outside.
"So what did you come here for?" Sara asked.
Azumi took the photo album from her bag and showed it to them. Everyone was in awe.
"You're going to show us the photo of your lives?" Hanon asked.
"Yeah. I realize that I didn't bring the album with me yesterday so I thought of bringing it today." Azumi said.
"The boys also saw it, right?" Rina asked.
"Yep. They saw it during the family reunion." Saito said.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's see the photos." Hippo smiled.
"I'm pretty sure there's gonna be thousands of photos in there." Taki said.
"We will see." Kaito said.
So they began to look at the photo albums. Everyone looked in awe as they saw the photos of Azumi, Saito, Yukito, Taoki, Naoki and Shizuro in their teen age. Having lots of fun, having a picnic, etc.
"My God. You really had a fantastic time." Luchia smiled.
"There's more." Azumi said.
Then Azumi went to another section of the photo booklet in which there are many pictures taken at the sea.
"So you used the Ocean-Proof camera to take pictures at the sea, right?" Nikora asked.
Azumi nodded and while they are browsing it, all laughter broke loose when they saw a picture in which the sea witch and her three water demon servants were struck on the net and the witch is whining and the former mermaid princesses laughing out.
"Is that the sea witch and the three water demons you told us about?" Kaito asked.
"Yep. It sure is." Azumi said.
"Lol. They fell into their own traps." Gaito said.
Everyone laughed loudly.
"And you even took photos inside the palace." Sara gasped.
"Is that you Taki-san? Seems it looks like you." Hippo asked.
Taki looked carefully at the picture before smiling.
"Yep. It is me though I didn't know the device untill yesterday." Taki said.
"Not only the North Pacific Ocean Palace but even they took the photos inside the North and South Atlantic Palace as well." Maki said.
They continue to look at the photos and finished browsing it after 10 minutes.
"What about Nagisa's birth and childhood life?" Hanon asked curiously, "I wanna see his photos as well."
"Masahiro's?" Rina also asked curiously.
"How can we even have those photos? You should say that to their parents." Saito said.
"Oh sorry."
"Don't worry Hanon and Rina. We will see their photos." Luchia smiled.
"I don't think the boys will like it." Kaito said.
Everyone laughed. Suzuka, Seira and Yuri returned and they began to look at the photo album except Suzuka who already saw it in the family reunion. Suddenly a door bell rang in which Hippo opened the door and it's none other than Nagisa Shirai and Masahiro Hamasaki.
"Ah. If it isn't the sons of the former mermaid princesses?" Hippo smiled.
Upon seeing them, Hanon rushed and hugged Nagisa while Rina smiled at Masahiro as he lifted her up.
"Nagisa!" Hanon said happily.
"Whoa Hanon. You are reacting as if you haven't seen me for months." Nagisa smiled.
"Gomea."
"Masahiro. How things are going?" Rina smiled.
"Fine and up high." Masahiro happily said as he lifted up Rina and threw her up and down.
"Whoa! Ha Ha Ha!"
Both Rina and Masahiro laughed as everyone approached them.
"It's the boys!" Suzuka jumped happily as she rushed towards them.
Both Nagisa and Masahiro smiled at Suzuka.
"Nagisa-kun, Hamasaki-san. Your parents came yesterday." Luchia smiled.
"Oh yeah. They told us about it." Nagisa said, "And we got excited so we came here."
"Hey Masahiro. How's your sleep?" Kaito asked, "Your mom said that you have some sleeping problems."
"Oh really?! Sometimes I do. Sometimes I don't." Masahiro said.
"Chill Masahiro. One day, I slept on the floor without actually realizing it."
Everyone laughed.
"Well if it isn't the boys?" Saito smiled.
"It's us of course. Who else?" Nagisa asked.
"Nobody."
Everyone laughed. Azumi smiled and patted at the boys hair.
"First of all I would really like to thank you for telling us about Maki's cafe." Azumi smiled.
"The food was great and so tasty." Suzuka said happily.
"Seems like we now knew who those familiar faces are actually are." Saito said.
"Ah! Speaking about that, is Maki-san here?" Masahiro asked.
"Yep. I'm right here." Maki said.
"Wait. Since when did you move here?" Nagisa asked.
"Early in the morning. He sold his house so that he can live with us permanently." Nikora said.
"I see. Letter to you by the way." Masahiro said as he handed the letter to Maki.
Everyone was curious to know what is the letter. Maki was about to open the letter.
"Not now Maki. A bit later." Nagisa said.
"Now can we have everyone's attention?" Masahiro asked.
Everyone was curious to hear what the boys had to say.
"Azumi. Congratulations that you were able to transform into your idol form." Nagisa smiled.
"Aww. Thank you boys." Azumi smiled.
"Ah. That means we have four sets already." Masahiro said.
Everyone was confused.
"Four sets?" Kaito asked.
"Yep. Let's start with Suzuka." Masahiro said.
It was then Suzuka immediately realized what Masahiro was talking about.
"Mummy and Luchia." Suzuka said.
Everyone then realized about it. Azumi and Luchia nodded and smiled at Suzuka.
"Mom and Hanon." Nagisa said.
Hanon hugged Nagisa at the back and smiled at him.
"Mom and Rina." Masahiro said.
Rina hold Masahiro's hands and smiled at him.
"Me and Sara." Seira said happily.
Sara patted on Seira's head.
"Ah! Now that does really make four sets." Yuri said.
"Pink, Aqua, Green and Orange." Hippo smiled.
"So let's give a big applaud to the mermaid princesses." Saito said.
And they all clapped as the mermaid princesses bowed and smiled.
"Well. It looks like we now have 11 mermaid princesses." Taki said.
"There are still 7 mermaid princesses though." Hanon said.
"But in the idol form, there are 11 mermaid princesses." Rina said.
"7 current mermaid princesses." Luchia said.
"And 4 former mermaid princesses." Sara said.
"Well it looks like that your singing will now become powerful now that the former mermaid princesses are there." Gaito said.
"Probably a warning message to other water demons who will try to attack us." Kaito said.
"So it seems like your parents told you about what happened to us last night." Maki said.
"Yeah. There was a big, muscular water demon who was desperately searching for you guys." Nagisa said.
"And once he founded you, he started shouting at you, taunting at you, etc." Masahiro sighed.
"And what we are quite shocked was that the water demon octopus and the water demon with horns were...his...his..."
"Sisters." Seira said.
"Yeah. Sisters!"
"Then he started attacking you, trapped you in an electric cage as soon as you turned into idol form, grabbed Kaito and threatened to eat him..." Masahiro said.
"Now that was very painful for me." Kaito said.
"He even grabbed me as well." Luchia cried.
"He even slapped me." Taki growled.
"That electric cage was easy to escape but I got a really shocking price to pay." Yuri said, "I got electric shock."
"That water demon did whatever it takes to avenge his sisters even though it means killing us as well." Hippo said.
"Very True. He was also angry as well." Nikora said.
"But your suffering didn't last as Saito came to the rescue as he used his Panthalassa power." Masahiro said.
"But somehow the water demon was able to hold on. It was only when I used my full power that Kaito and Luchia were freed from the water demon's grip." Saito said.
"Yep and they were flying in the air before we manage to catch them." Azumi said.
"And I dragged Yuri to the cafe." Suzuka said happily.
"Well that's brave of you." Nagisa said.
"And there goes the same old story. You transformed into an idol form and you defeated him." Masahiro said.
Everyone nodded and smiled.
"But I really feel bad that the water demon had to go through this pain after his sisters's death." Hanon sadly said.
"We didn't know that they were his sisters until he angrily told us." Rina said.
"How did the sisters died?" Nagisa asked.
"For the water demon with octopus, when you were playing the flute, she got distracted and fell in love with the flute's tune and she couldn't cover her ears as a result while we were singing." Sara said.
"As for the water demon with horns, you were enjoying the green scenario. Meanwhile the green skies were also there during our battle and she became weak as a result." Seira said, "So weak that she couldn't cover her ears."
"So both of them died because their ears got busted." Masahiro said.
Everyone nodded.
"I was a bit surprised about that. Normally they would have been deaf if they couldn't protect their ears." Gaito said.
"Could it be that their ears were their biggest weakness?" Kaito asked.
"Maybe our singing was very powerful due to the fact that we had two former mermaid princesses singing." Rina said.
"In that case, you should thank me, Masahiro and Saito for helping you otherwise you know what would happen to you." Nagisa said, "So we deserve a reward."
"Uh Nagisa. I think we already had the reward." Masahiro said, "Dinner with mom and dad with discounts."
"Oh! Why did I forget about that?"
"Oh Nagisa." Hanon smiled.
Everybody laughed loudly.
"It seems like you also came for some other reasons, right?" Luchia asked.
"Yep and now it's related to Suzuka." Masahiro said.
Suzuka looked at the boys curiously.
"What about it?" Suzuka asked.
"HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU BECOME A MERMAID?!" Both boys asked in shock.
Everyone jumped a bit.
"Well I had a feeling that you boys won't believe about it." Taki said.
"But it's really true boys. Your parents really saw it with their own eyes." Hanon said.
"There's no way Suzuka can become a mermaid." Nagisa said.
"Beside the law says that the daughter of a mermaid or the former mermaid princess can become a mermaid at the age of 8." Masahiro said.
"It's true but with an exception of Suzuka." Rina said.
"Then we shall test it by ourselves."
"How so?" Luchia asked.
Nagisa then took his water gun from his pocket. Most of them thought it was a real gun!
"Ah Nagisa! Don't shoot us." Yuri and Hippo cried.
"Hey calm down. It's just a water gun." Gaito said.
"It's really harmless. Just water coming out from it." Luchia said.
"You are going to test it with this?" Saito asked.
"Yeah. Suzuka, if you don't mind." Nagisa said.
Suzuka nodded. Nagisa then pulled out his water gun and it went straight to Suzuka. What happened next was a real shock of their lives! Suzuka is transforming into her mermaid form.
"My God!" Masahiro gasped.
"It can't be!" Nagisa was shocked.
They stared in shock as they saw her legs are turned into fins and her clothes disappeared leaving her pink bra shells in place.
"How did you like it?" Suzuka asked.
Masahiro and Nagisa are so shocked that they couldn't speak.
"You see boys. What happened was that we called Aqua Regina came and she told us that while she gave me an extra pink pearl, she also made Suzuka being a mermaid by saying some magic words and that happened when Maki accidentally threw a glass of water." Azumi smiled.
"Satisfied now boys?" Maki asked.
"Well. It seems like I have nothing to say. Our parents were right." Nagisa sighed.
"Yeah. We were too shocked to believe." Masahiro said.
"These things can happen. I also once didn't believe that Luchia is a mermaid in the first place." Kaito said.
"Isn't being a mermaid awesome?" Suzuka asked happily.
"Yeah but you cannot say that you are a mermaid otherwise you will turn into bubbles." Hanon said.
"You cannot play water splash either." Yuri sadly said.
"No she can. With the boys." Luchia happily said.
"But they are gonna have a hard time covering Suzuka while she is in her mermaid form."
"Well they can play somewhere in private or if only three of them are here." Rina said.
"Yeah. Just be careful that no one sees her in the mermaid form." Taki said.
Both Nagisa and Masahiro nodded. Suzuka jumped happily.
"Where is your Mermaid Flute and The Mermaid of Love locket?" Nikora asked.
"Kept it at our homes." The boys said.
"I see."
"Well it seems like the marriage has already been set quickly. You girls will get married to those boys, right?" Saito asked.
The girls nodded and jumped happily.
"But what will be your full names then?" Hippo asked curiously.
"Hanon Shirai." Hanon said happily.
"Rina Hamasaki. Not bad, isn't it?" Rina smiled in which everyone nodded.
"Luchia Domoto." Luchia said happily.
"Sara Domoto." Sara smiled.
"Well we better think of our last name when we get married." Yuri said.
"I'm trying to think of it but I can't." Hippo sighed.
"I want to find love. I want to get married as well." Seira cried.
"Don't worry Seira. You will." Suzuka said.
"But where will you be planning for our marriage?" Kaito asked.
"Here of course." Nikora said.
Everyone is shocked!
"Are you serious?" Gaito asked in shock.
"Well of course we can. We will try to arrange it here." Maki said, "There is still plenty of time left."
"What about me?" Suzuka asked.
"Don't worry. We will make sure everyone's invited to the marriage." Luchia said happily.
"Thank you." Azumi said happily.
"But what about the..." Taki wanted to ask about Hotoshi and Kazama but she thought she might upset the boys so she kept herself shut.
"Well thanks for everything. We have to go now." Nagisa said.
"So soon?" Hanon asked sadly.
"Hanon. They are gonna visit here often." Rina smiled.
"Yeah. We will." Masahiro smiled, "Once again, congratulations to you Azumi and Suzuka."
"Thanks boys." Azumi smiled happily.
"Will we see you again?" Suzuka asked.
"Of course you will get to see them." Luchia said.
"True. It's not that they are going to go overseas." Kaito said.
"Well Nagisa and Masahiro. Thanks for coming here and enjoy your life to the fullest." Hippo smiled.
"We will. Bye now." Both boys said.
"Goodbye." Everyone said.
So Nagisa and Masahiro left. Suzuka whipped herself with the towel and changed back into her human form.
"Well now that they are gone, let's see what's inside the letter." Saito said.
Maki then opened the letter and began to read the letter. Everyone else joined in.
To Maki,
We realize that we forgot to pay the bill of the food we had on your cafe yesterday. The money is attached at the back. Have a nice day and we are glad to visit your cafe.
From Nagisa, Masahiro, Hotoshi and Kazama.
P.S: 'Give me free food!'- Kazama.
Maki then looked at the back of the letter and saw the money being stapled into it. While everyone laughed at the P.S, they were extremely happy as to how the boys realized that they forgot to pay the bill.
"OMG! They are so nice!" Luchia said happily.
"Yeah. They realize that they forgot to pay the bill and so they did it." Hanon said.
"Maybe that's why they wanted to Maki-san to look at the letter later." Rina said.
"They are very very grateful boys." Nikora smiled, "Maybe next time they can have dinner with us."
"Indeed they are." Maki said, "Maybe I will prepare the food for free for them next time."
"Oh! Speaking about that." Saito said.
Saito then took out his money bag from his pocket and gave the money to Maki for the bill.
"It was very late at night at that time." Saito said, "So I couldn't pay it."
"That's alright. You will get free food as well." Maki smiled.
"Hooray! Free food!" Suzuka said happily.
"That's great. Thanks Maki." Azumi smiled.
Maki smiled at them.
"Well we got to go now as well." Saito said.
"Well then take care of yourself." Sara smiled.
"And we hope to see you again." Seira said.
"Well. Just remember that we are always the Panthalassa bros." Kaito smiled.
"Yeah. I remember." Saito said.
"The good ones." Gaito said.
"Well we will play again sometime." Yuri said.
"Suzuka. Make sure that people don't see you in the mermaid form or else you will turn into bubbles." Hippo said.
"Don't worry. I will remember." Suzuka said.
"Well off we go now. Bye Luchia." Azumi said.
"Take care of yourself, Azumi." Luchia said happily.
So Saito, Azumi and Suzuka left.
"What about the other two boys?" Taki asked.
"You mean Hotoshi and Kazama?" Nikora asked.
Taki nodded and everyone smiled.
"Shidou Coco." Luchia said.
"Noel Yoshiro." Rina smiled.
Afternoon:
Everyone's busying in cleaning the hotel after Saito's, Azumi's, Suzuka's, Nagisa's and Masahiro's morning visit. Everything became peaceful until suddenly there was a voice.
"Hey you!" A voice said.
"Huh?" Everyone was confused and when they looked at the window, it's none other than the Mermaid Flute!
"Yes! You people." The voice said.
"No way!" Kaito gasped.
"It...It can't be." Gaito was shocked.
"The Mermaid Flute can talk?" Luchia asked in shock.
"That's right. I'm the Mermaid Flute, the talking flute." The voice said, "And now you will face the music of the mermaid princesses's song."
Actually the flute is not speaking, it is Nagisa, who is hiding under the window, is speaking in a different voice so that they won't realize that it's actually his voice. What happened was that was that Nagisa is again visiting Pearl Piari when he had a really funny thing spinning on his mind. Then he hid under the window and holded the Mermaid Flute in such a way that no one can see his hand.
"When did you learn to talk?!" Rina asked in shock.
"About 500 years." The voice said.
"500 years?!" Hanon gasped, "Does your owner know about this?"
"Of Course! The owner and his parents know about this. The proud Shirai family."
"But then why didn't he tell us about it?" Luchia asked.
"Well...uh...I don't know."
"Did you simply walk all the way here without anyone looking at you?" Kaito asked in shock.
"That's right. Cause I'm the Mermaid Flute, the talking flute and you will face the music of the mermaid princesses's song."
"Is that really your motto?" Gaito asked as everyone sweatdropped.
"Yes. Do you have a problem with that ?"
"Hey!" Gaito whined as everyone laughed.
"You are lucky that you weren't there at that time where his ancestor would have exterminated you and other water demons with a single tap on the ground using the Sea Godness's staff."
Gaito looked down for a moment. He had to accept the fact despite being reluctant to accept it.
"Well you have to face the truth Gaito-sama." Yuri said, "He might have exterminated us if we were there."
"For 500 almost years, were you always like this?" Maki asked.
"Are you serious? There's no way that I remain the same for so long." The voice said, "I've been washed, I've been cleaned, I've been upgraded and I've gained a new power."
"New power?" Taki asked, "What could that be?"
"I thought you knew it by now. Anyway, it's that when the danger is nearing by for Nagisa, then this small aqua mermaid statue will glow so that I can warn him that danger is approaching."
"Ah! Now I remember. We went to meet his ancestor and we also met the aqua mermaid princess at that time and she gave you a new power." Hanon said happily.
"Yes Yes. That's the one. You were there." The voice said.
"Well you better make sure that he is safe." Nikora said.
"Of course! Cause I'm the Mermaid Flute, the talking flute and you will face the music of the mermaid princesses's song."
Everyone sweatdropped upon hearing that.
"His dad once had you, right?" Sara asked.
"Of course. It was another best moment for me." The voice said.
"Really? How so?" Seira asked.
"Whenever the owner's mom and dad went out on a date then on night, his dad used to play the flute and boy oh boy does his mom absolutely loved it and she still does.
"Wow!" Everyone said in awe.
"Now that was really sweet." Seira said.
"Yep and the owner's dad even played it at house when the owner was born." The voice said.
"OMG!" Yuri gasped in awe.
"Yep and it was so lovely."
Everyone smiled at the flute.
"Now that's some sweet memories you made." Hippo said.
"Hey! Bad boy! Bad boy!" The voice said angrily and started to poke Hippo.
Everyone was shocked at what the flute just said and did.
"Wait. Why are you doing this?" Luchia asked in shock.
"He was saying nice things to you." Yuri said.
"Not that one. Another one." The voice said.
"Wait you mean...?" Rina gasped.
"Yes. The suicide one."
Everyone gasped.
"Are you still hurt by that incident?" Hanon asked.
"I was badly hurt by it and now it's payback time." The flute said.
"But Azumi was brought back alive." Nikora said.
"And your owner and his parents has forgiven him." Taki said.
"Even so, he must pay for his crimes. Bad boy! Bad boy!" The voice said angrily and again poked Hippo.
"Ow! Stop it and listen to me." Hippo cried.
"No need. I know about it and you were a coward at that time."
"I was but now no more."
"Well then if you didn't know that Takashi was executed when the owner's mother and father was in high school and you were still afraid that he would be looking for you, then how you were able to bring Luchia here in this world?"
"Well I thought he might left so I took Luchia in the human world."
"Ha! You are still afraid."
"Hippo-sama is never afraid. He protects us all." Yuri said with determination.
"Protecting you all is fine and I salute him for that but now let's test his courage."
And so the Mermaid Flute jump out of the window.
"You have any idea what the Mermaid Flute will do next?" Gaito asked.
"No idea." Kaito said.
All of a sudden a ghost appeared in front of them.
"BOOOO!" The ghost roared.
"AHHH!" The boys shouted in horror.
"KYAHHH!" The girls squealed in horror.
"It's...It's a..." Maki gulped.
Suddenly there was a roar of laughter from the ghost who is actually Nagisa in disguise! Nagisa is laughing loudly.
"Wait. Isn't that Nagisa?" Kaito asked.
"Ha Ha! Scary Cats!" Nagisa laughed loudly.
"So if he disguised himself as a ghost..." Nikora started.
"So that means..." Sara gasped.
"Nagisa! How could you play prank on us?!" Hippo, Seira and Yuri whined.
Nagisa is still laughing. Hanon is also starting to laugh as well.
"Hanon?" Luchia asked.
"Calm down people. Nagisa just did it for fun." Hanon smiled and laughed as both she and Nagisa are laughing on the floor.
"Well that was one prank he really did." Rina smiled.
"Yeah. He even fooled us thinking that the flute is actually talking." Kaito smiled.
"Well it seems like Nagisa has proven that you are still a scary cat." Gaito smirked
"I'm not!" Hippo whined in which everyone laughed.
"Okay you two. Enough laughing." Maki said, "Otherwise you might die of laughter."
After a few minutes, Hanon and Nagisa stopped laughing though Nagisa laughed a little bit.
"Well Nagisa. It seems that you have become quite an actor." Taki said.
"How so?" Nagisa asked.
"You somehow were able to change your voice such that we ended up realizing that it was actually the flute who was talking." Sara said.
"And you proved that Hippo and Yuri are still scary cats!" Luchia said happily.
"No! Not that." Yuri and Hippo whined.
Everybody laughed.
"How were you able to do that? Could you please teach me?" Seira asked.
"Well..." Nagisa was about to say but Hanon interrupted.
"Seira. Nagisa is not in a mood to tell." Hanon said in which Seira agreed, "Can anyone give him a glass of water?"
"Let me give him." Nikora said and she ran to give him a glass of water.
10 minutes later:
"Seems like I slipped some additional information about me, eh?" Nagisa asked while drinking another glass of water.
"Well yeah. It seems that you really did." Hanon smiled.
"Is it true that your dad played the Mermaid Flute when you were born?" Seira asked.
"Not at hospital but at home." Nagisa said.
"Of course it should be home. How can anyone make a noise at the hospital?" Maki asked.
"Yeah. Anyway Hippo, sorry if I scared you."
"No need to apologize, Nagisa." Hippo smiled, "You proved me wrong there."
"How about you tell us about your birth?" Yuri asked happily.
Nagisa was shocked.
"Do I have to tell?" Nagisa gulped.
"Well you can at least tell us about your birth and how did you get the Mermaid Flute." Kaito said.
"I'm sure that Masahiro and his parents were here since he was born 3 years ago." Rina said.
"We can ask Hamasaki-san as well if he comes again, won't we?" Luchia asked happily.
Everyone nodded. Nagisa sighed.
"Alright I will tell." Nagisa said, "But I need another glass of water at first."
Nikora poured another glass of water and Nagisa drank it.
"Alright then. It all started with this..." Nagisa said as he began his narrative.
Flashback (13 years ago in the hospital):
"Congratulations Taoki. Your child has been born." The doctor smiled.
Taoki, Naoki, Shizuro, the Butler and Masahiro (who was 3 years old at that time.) got excited. Shizuro started patting at Taoki's back.
"Well pal. Seems like you are a father now." Shizuro smiled.
"Congratulation Sir." The butler smiled.
"Mummy. Can we go see...uh...?" Masahiro was a bit confused because he doesn't know whether it's a male or female.
"Of course we will." Naoki smiled, "But we better take the doctor's permission first."
"Is my wife okay? Can I see them?" Taoki asked.
"No worries. She is safe and you are free to see her." The doctor said.
Excited, Taoki, Naoki, Shizuro, the Butler and Masahiro went into the room where Yukito is smiling while holding the baby, who is crying.
"Mummy. Look at his cheeks." Masahiro said happily as he playfully poked his cheeks.
"Aww. He is so cute." Naoki smiled.
"What will you call him?"
"We will call him Nagisa Shirai." Yukito smiled.
"Did you prepare his name or it went through your mind?" The butler asked.
"We prepared his name beforehand so that we can tell the doctor quickly." Taoki said.
"Well. It's always good to prepare beforehand." Shizuro said.
Everyone nodded. Meanwhile, Masahiro was still poking at the baby's cheeks when somehow the baby was able to touch his finger.
"Aqua Regina was there to help me to safely deliver him." Yukito smiled.
"She was here?" The butler asked.
"Yep. I think I saw the white light down below which lead me to think that she was there." Taoki said.
"Mummy. Is she the Sea Godness you told me about?" Masahiro asked curiously.
"Yep. She is the one. One day, you will get to see her." Naoki smiled.
"And we will tell you more about her once you get a bit older." Shizuro smiled.
"Hooray." Masahiro said happily.
But then they saw that Taoki and Yukito are bit in a depressed mood.
"Is there anything wrong?" The butler asked.
"It's just that I wish Azumi was here right now to see him but she was gone a long time ago." Yukito sadly said.
"I wonder where Saito is now?" Taoki sighed.
"I think it's best to remember them with our hearts even though Azumi is gone and I have no idea where Saito went." Shizuro said.
"Who are Azumi and Saito?" Masahiro asked curiously.
"There were our good friends but..." Naoki was about to say.
"He is not in a age right now to tell the death thing." Shizuro said, "But they were our good friends. However their relationship ended in a tragic way."
"Oh dear. Poor them." The butler sadly said.
Everyone nodded sadly. The nurse came and smiled at them.
"You will be discharged within a few minutes. Get your clothes ready." The nurse smiled.
"Well looks like we have to go now. See you later." Naoki smiled.
"But mummy, daddy. Will I see him again?" Masahiro asked.
"You will, son." Shizuro said.
"Well sir. Let's leave them alone so that they can spend sometime with the child." The butler said.
"I agree. Bye now." Taoki said.
Soon Naoki, Shizuro, the butler and Masahiro left.
"Well kiddo." Taoki smiled, "Welcome to the Shirai Family."
"He's now the descendant of the man who saved our race." Yukito smiled.
"He sure is."
14 minutes later:
When everything was packed up, Taoki and Yukito left the hospital with the baby, who is sleeping peacefully. They began to drive towards their home.
"Well I can't wait for him to see our home." Taoki said happily while driving.
"I'm excited too. That's really the best day of our lives." Yukito smiled.
"Just one thing. Are we, males, are allowed to go your kingdom?"
"Sadly no. But we can take him on a trip to the South Atlantic Ocean."
"That's a great idea."
Both of them smiled at each other as they drove towards their home.
When they reached home, they kept the baby in the bed and went off to change their clothes. After doing so, they began to sleep with the baby in the middle.
After a few minutes rest, they were then woken up with the bright, white light which was none other than Aqua Regina.
"Aqua Regina-sama." Yukito smiled.
"Bless the child." Aqua Regina smiled, "What's his name?"
"Nagisa Shirai." Taoki said.
"That's a nice name. Congratulations you two. I hope all three of you can have a wonderful future."
"Thank you Aqua Regina." Yukito smiled.
Aqua Regina began to touch the babies's cheeks. After a few minutes, the baby began to cry.
"Oh dear. Poor him." Yukito sighed sadly as she patted the baby's hair.
"I think if Taoki can play the Mermaid Flute, it might calm him down." Aqua Regina said.
"Good idea." Taoki said.
So Taoki ran to his room to get the Mermaid Flute. After getting it, he returned to the bedroom and started playing the tune of 'The Legend of Mermaid'. Pretty soon, the baby stopped crying and is enjoying it.
"He's smiling." Aqua Regina smiled in which Taoki and Yukito nodded.
5 years later:
"Happy 5th Birthday, son!" Taoki said happily.
"Happy Birthday." Yukito smiled.
"Thanks mummy. Thanks daddy." Nagisa said happily.
"Here's a present for you." Taoki smiled as he gave the Mermaid Flute.
Nagisa looked at the Mermaid Flute with curiosity.
"It's a very special flute which I will teach you within a few days." Yukito smiled, "And we will tell you about it when you get to an age to go to school."
"You really are the best." Nagisa said happily.
Both Taoki and Yukito smiled at him.
Present day:
After Nagisa finished his story, everyone was in awe.
"Wow! OMG!" Everyone said.
"Seriously. If we have a time travel right now, I would love to go at that time when you were born." Hanon said happily as she hugged Nagisa.
"Kyah! Your story was so kawaii!" Luchia squealed.
"I wonder how Masahiro looked like when he was 3 years old." Rina smiled.
"Man! You and Masahiro had such a lucky childhood." Kaito said.
"And we had such a terrible childhood." Gaito sighed.
"I just wish we could see your photos." Maki said.
"Thanks guys." Nagisa smiled.
Nagisa then stood up.
"But I must leave now." Nagisa said.
"Wah! That was a short visit." Yuri cried.
"Hey no worries. I'm coming at night."
Everyone got curious and was a bit surprised.
"At night?" Sara asked.
"Yeah. Cause I've got a big surprise." Nagisa smiled.
"A surprise?" Seira asked excitingly, "Like it's someone's birthday party today?"
"No not that. He must meant something else." Taki said.
"That's right. You will really like it." Nagisa said.
"Well then. See you at night." Hanon said happily.
Nagisa smiled at Hanon and he left.
"What surprise do you think he will give to us?" Hippo asked.
"I have no idea." Nikora sighed.
Evening:
Everyone was wondering about what happened this afternoon when suddenly they heard another voice:
"Fe Fi Fo Fum.
I see some people are having fun."
When they turned around, they saw the Mermaid of Love Locket flying around. They are SHELL-SHOCKED!
"No way! I must be dreaming." Kaito said in shock.
"I think what I'm actually seeing is real!" Gaito gasped.
"Can The Mermaid of Love Locket fly and talk?" Luchia gasped.
"Yes. I'm the Mermaid of Love Locket, the flying and the talking locket." The voice said.
Not really cause it's actually Masahiro who is talking. He was about to enter the hotel but he decided to play a little prank on them. He then took out the Mermaid of Love locket and it began to fly. Meanwhile Masahiro hid under the window so that no one can see him.
"When did you learn how to fly and talk?" Hanon asked.
"From the very day I was created." The voice said.
Everyone was shocked!
"So Long?! Does your owner and his parents know about this?" Rina asked in shock.
"Of course they know about it." The voice said.
"But why didn't he tell us?" Luchia asked.
"You know 90% about me. What more do you wanna know?"
"I think we know almost everything about you." Kaito smiled.
"Exactly. Well Well..."
The locket began to fly around Gaito, Sara and Yuri.
"If it aren't the ones who created chaos in the sea?" The voice asked.
"You...knew about this?" Yuri gulped.
"Of course I know about this! Now prepare to get blinded for your evil deeds."
Everyone was shocked.
"But your owner has forgiven us." Gaito gulped.
"But I do not forgive you as you are the main culprit of the chaos." The voice said.
"Please forgive him! I was the one actually responsible for it." Sara cried.
"And that's why you will be blinded as well."
Everyone gasped and Sara, Gaito and Yuri are prepared for the worst to come. The locket again flew around them in circles.
"You are lucky that you have changed, otherwise you might have been blinded by now." The voice said, "And if there was green skies, you three would have been so weak that you would have been acting like old people."
"Hey!" Sara, Gaito and Yuri whined.
Everybody laughed. The locket then flew to the current mermaid princesses and Kaito.
"Well pink princess it seems that you have an incredible mind as you did discover a new feature of ne." The voice said.
"How so?" Luchia asked curiously.
"Remember? The more the love or hate, the more powerful I am."
"Ah! Yes I remember."
"But the more hate will happen if you are changed to the Mermaid of Hatred." Hanon said.
"True. Well luckily, the change didn't happen." The voice said.
"You may be able to take down one powerful Panthalassa but not two." Kaito smiled, "As Gaito said, two is better than one."
"Well we will see about that."
Everyone laughed.
"Did your owner and Rina went to meet the ancestors like what Nagisa and Hanon did?" Seira asked.
"Yes. They got the blessing from the Awami Shrine and, in the process, got transported to the time where they witness the rescue." The voice said.
"Now I remember. We saw the green mermaid princess at that time rescue Masahiro's ancestor and they fell in love." Rina smiled, "They approached us and blessed us."
"Exactly."
"It was really wonderful."
Everyone smiled. The locket then flew straight to Nikora, Taki and Maki.
"His dad once had you, right?" Nikora asked.
"Yep and it was really another best moment for me." The voice said.
"What was that moment?" Taki asked.
"The owner's dad and mom used to go sight-seeing with green sight everywhere around it. And she enjoys it a lot but the best thing was the green full moon."
"Wow!" Everyone said in awe.
"Now that's really sweet." Seira smiled.
"And not only that. When my owner was three or four years old, he also saw the green full moon with his parents and butler." The voice said.
"Now that's really nice." Rina smiled.
"And I'm glad he enjoyed it."
"Were you like this for a long time?" Maki asked.
"The design was like this for a long time but I've been cleaned, maintained and upgraded as time flies."
"I see."
Everyone smiled at the locket.
"Now I wish I could be in the good old times." Hippo said.
The locket the went around Hippo for sometime.
"But the good old times were destroyed by you!" The voice said.
Everyone was shocked.
"What do you mean? What did I do?" Hippo asked in surprise.
"Didn't you realize what you did was traitorous?" The voice asked, "And so disgraceful?!"
Everyone then realized what it is talking about: The suicide part.
"But...But." Hippo tried to explain but he failed.
"No buts. Prepare to get blinded for your betrayal act." The voice said.
In a sudden panic, Luchia and Yuri rushed to cover Hippo.
"Please don't blind Hippo." Luchia cried and pleaded, "Azumi was brought back alive."
"Your owner and his parents has even forgiven him." Yuri said.
"He also said that to forget the past and look for the future." Rina said.
"But I cannot forget this horrible past and now time to get blinded." The voice said.
The locket then spun around for a few times which is making them confused.
"Come closer." The voice said.
Everyone was curiously following the locket as it slowly flew away to the window before going down.
"Why is it asking to follow us?" Kaito asked.
"I have no idea." Gaito said.
Suddenly out of nowhere comes a boy with a ghostly mask.
"RAHHHHHH!" He roared.
"AHHHH!" Everyone shouted in fright.
"Oh no!" Taki said in horror, "It's..."
Suddenly there was a roar of laughter from that boy. The boy then removed his mask. To everyone's shock, it's none other than Masahiro Hamasaki! He is laughing loudly.
"Masahiro?" Everyone asked in shock.
"You got goosebumped!" Masahiro laughed loudly.
"He simply wore a scary mask." Nikora sighed
"Wait! So that means..." Taki gasped.
"Hamasaki-san! You too?!" Seira, Yuri and Hippo whined.
Masahiro is still laughing. Rina, at first, giggled and then started to laugh.
"Rina?" Luchia asked.
"Masahiro is just having fun. I actually did get goosebumps!" Rina smiled as she dragged Masahiro inside before both of them started to laugh on the floor.
"Well. He did really give us a surprise there." Hanon smiled.
"He even fooled us into thinking that the locket was actually talking to us." Kaito said.
"That's twice we got fooled!" Gaito sighed.
"But the locket actually did fly." Hippo said, "That's one thing we didn't know about it."
"Okay Rina and Masahiro, that's enough laughing for now." Maki said, "Otherwise you might die from laughter."
After a few minutes, Rina and Masahiro stopped laughing though Masahiro laughed a little bit.
"Well Masahiro. Looks like you two naughty boys pulled pranks on us." Nikora said.
"So Nagisa was also there?" Masahiro asked.
"Yeah. In afternoon, he made us think that the flute was actually talking and let out a big scare on us." Sara said.
"And now you did the same thing." Yuri said in which everyone laughed.
"But Hamasaki-san, the locket actually really flew." Luchia said.
"That really surprised us because this is the first time we are actually seeing it." Hippo said.
"If you don't mind, can you tell us about this flying feature?" Seira asked.
Masahiro was breathing a bit because of all the talking and laughing. Rina patted on Masahiro's back.
"Looks like he needs a glass of water after all the talking he did and laughing." Rina said.
Nikora then went to get a glass of water for Masahiro.
10 minutes later:
"So the your locket does fly but that rarely happens, right?" Rina asked smiling.
"Yeah. It barely happens that it flies." Masahiro said, "So that's why I didn't tell you."
"Or maybe you wanted to tell us but you forgot." Hanon said.
"Uh...Yeah."
Everyone laughed a little bit.
"How was your experience when you first saw the green full moon when your dad once had the locket before?" Seira asked.
"It was really amazing." Masahiro smiled, "I had never seen like it before. That was my first time seeing it."
"Nice." Sara smiled.
"Gaito, Sara, Hippo and Yuri. I apologize for giving you guys a real scare."
"Nah. It's okay. You really pulled that out perfectly." Gaito said.
"Yeah and I was really frightened when the locket spun around and you said that it will blind me." Hippo said.
"How about you can tell us about your childhood?" Yuri asked happily.
Everyone smiled at Masahiro.
"Do I really have to tell?" Masahiro gulped.
"Well Nagisa did tell us about his." Taki said.
"And it was so kawaii!" Hanon squealed in which everyone nodded.
"I'm sure Nagisa-kun and his parents were here at that day you were born." Luchia smiled.
Everyone stared at her in shock.
"Luchia. Have some sense." Nikora said in shock, "Nagisa wasn't even born at that time!"
"Oops! Gome." Luchia quickly apologized.
"You can tell us about your birth and how you got the locket." Kaito said.
"I just wish I could see your pictures." Rina said.
Masahiro sighed.
"Alright. Give me another glass if water." Masahiro said.
Nikora poured another glass of water in which Masahiro drank it.
"It all began with this..." Masahiro started his narrative.
Flashback (16 years ago in the hospital):
"Great news Shizuro." The doctor smiled, "Your child has been born."
As soon they were told about the news, Shizuro, The butler, Yukito and Taoki were extremely happy.
"Yahoo!" Shizuro jumped happily.
"Congratulations Shizuro. You have become a father." Yukito said happily.
"Can't wait to see your child right now. I'm so excited." Taoki said.
"But sir, didn't she feel a bit trouble before?" The butler asked, "She vomited yesterday and was in a bit of the pain.
Everyone then suddenly became worried.
"Oh God! You are right pal." Shizuro gulped before asking the doctor, "Is she okay?"
"Don't worry. She is safe. Sometimes when they are pregnant, they face this difficulty." The doctor said, "But she is okay now."
Everyone sighed in relief.
"You are allowed to see her." The doctor smiled and left.
Soon they went to Naoki's room and there they saw Naoki holding the baby and smiled at them.
"Shizuro. He is smiling and crying at the same time." Naoki smiled.
"Hello there kiddo. Welcome to the Hamasaki family." Shizuro smiled.
"Awwwww. He's so cute." Yukito squealed as she touched the baby's cheeks, "What's his name?"
"Masahiro Hamasaki." Naoki smiled.
"You prepared his name or it went through your mind?" Taoki asked.
"Well. It went through my mind."
"Well maam. How should I call him?" The butler asked.
"Young sir?" Shizuro asked.
"Yes. Young sir."
"Well he's too young to be called young sir. So maybe you can call him that when he is 10 years old." Naoki smiled.
Everyone laughed a little bit.
"Maam. I saw a bright white light under the door." The butler said, "Isn't that the Sea Godness you told me about?"
"Ah yes. She is the one." Naoki said.
"Wait. So she was here?" Taoki asked in surprise.
"Yep. She helped me deliver the child safely."
"Thank God she was here." Shizuro said happily, "Otherwise, given that you were in a bit of pain, things might have gotten complicated."
"A bit complicated." Yukito said.
Everyone nodded. Naoki sighed for a moment.
"What's wrong Naoki?" Shizuro asked.
"I wish that Azumi is here right now to see him." Naoki sadly said.
"But she is gone unfortunately." Yukito sadly said.
"Do you have any idea where Saito is right now?" Taoki asked.
"I have no idea." Shizuro said, "I haven't seen him ever since that day Azumi committed suicide."
"It seems that their relationship ended in a tragic way." The butler said.
Everyone nodded sadly at the butler. The nurse came and smiled at them.
"Since everything has gone well, you will be discharged after a few minutes." The nurse said.
"Thank you." Naoki said.
The nurse then left.
"Well Naoki. It's better to leave three of you alone so that you can spend some wonderful time with him." Taoki said.
"I hope we can get to see him again." Yukito said, "Anyway bye for now and have fun."
"You take care of yourself." Naoki smiled.
So Yukito and Taoki left.
"Well maam and sir, are we ready for a new adventure?" The butler asked.
"Adventure?" Shizuro asked confusingly.
"Oops. I mean future."
The three of them laughed a little bit.
"He's now the descendant of the man who built the Awami Shrine so that mermaids and humans can really love each other." Naoki said happily.
"He sure is." Shizuro smiled.
15 minutes later:
With everything packed up and all the birth documents completed, they left the hospital with Naoki carrying the baby who is sleeping peacefully. They began to drive to their mansion.
"Now drive carefully, pal." Shizuro said, "There's gonna be some speed-bumps on the road."
"Don't worry sir. Everything will be okay." The butler said.
"I can't wait for him to see our mansion."
"I'm really excited. All four of us are going to have a wonderful lives." Naoki said happily.
"Maam. Are we actually allowed to go your kingdom?" The butler asked.
"I'm sorry but I don't think they are allowed to go." Naoki sadly said.
"Trip to the North Atlantic Ocean?" Shizuro asked.
"Now that's possible."
"Well at least it's better to travel to that ocean rather than not going at all." The butler said.
Naoki and Shizuro agreed and let out a little laugh.
Soon they reached the mansion. Naoki and Shizuro went upstairs to Shizuro's room while the butler went to an empty room to clean it up so that the baby can have his room when he is in a suitable age. Meanwhile after changing their clothes, Shizuro and Naoki went to sleep with the baby. After a few minutes, the butler came with a smile.
"A special guest is here." The butler smiled.
"Who could that be?" Shizuro asked.
In a white bright light, enter Aqua Regina with a smile on her face.
"Aqua Regina-sama." Naoki smiled.
"Bless the child." Aqua Regina smiled, "What's his name?"
"Masahiro Hamasaki."
"That's a nice name. Congratulations all of you. I hope he has a wonderful future."
"Thank you."
Shizuro then bowed at Aqua Regina.
"How can I ever thank you for helping her?" Shizuro pleaded.
"Your wife was in a bit of a critical condition so it's my duty to help her so that she can deliver the child safely." Aqua Regina smiled.
"Thank you."
The butler also bowed to Aqua Regina. Aqua Regina then touched the babies's cheeks. The baby hold her finger and he is enjoying it.
"He's smiling." Aqua Regina smiled.
"He sure is." Naoki smiled, "But will he be able to see you?"
"Of course he will be able see me when he grows up."
8 years later:
"Happy 8th Birthday, son!" Shizuro said happily.
"Happy Birthday." Naoki smiled, "What do you wish for?"
"A trip to the North Atlantic Ocean, mummy." Masahiro said happily.
"Wow! That's exactly what we wanted to do." The butler smiled.
"I know. What a coincidence." Naoki smiled.
All four of them laughed.
"Son. This is a present for you." Shizuro smiled as he gave the Mermaid of Love locket to him.
Masahiro looked at the locket with curiosity.
"It's called the Mermaid of Love Locket." The butler said.
"The Mermaid of Love Locket?" Masahiro asked.
"Your father will tell you how to use it while I will tell you the history of it." Naoki smiled.
"Thanks Mummy, Thanks Daddy, Thanks Butler."
"Your welcome." Shizuro smiled, "Now let's cut the cake."
Present day:
When Masahiro finished his narrative, everyone was excited and they all said, "Wow!"
"Now I really need to go to that day you were born." Rina said excitingly as she hold Masahiro's hand.
"Like I said, you and Nagisa had such an awesome time." Kaito said.
"Your story is so awesome." Luchia said happily.
"I wish I could see your photos." Maki said.
"Wow. Such a wonderful flurry of events." Gaito said.
"With the exception that Azumi and Saito were not here at that time." Yuri said.
"Wow! I bet you were so cute at that time, Hamasaki-san." Hanon squealed.
"Well thank you people." Masahiro said, "But I must leave now."
"Wah! So quickly?" Seira cried.
"Nope. Cause I'm coming at night."
Everyone was a bit surprised.
"You are also coming as well?" Sara asked.
"Yep." Masahiro said.
"Could you tell us your surprise?" Hippo pleaded.
"Later cause it's a secret."
"Well then. We will see you tonight." Rina smiled.
"Yep. Untill then, take care."
Soon Masahiro left.
"Do you think both Nagisa's and Masahiro's visit are in common?" Nikora asked.
"I think so. They said that both are coming tonight." Taki said.
"Well then we have to wait and see what it is." Luchia said.
Night:
Everyone is watching a comedy show on T.V in which everyone is laughing at it. Then there was a door knock in which Nikora opened the door. It's none other than Masahiro Hamasaki and Nagisa Shirai. Others approached them
"Well boys. It seems that you were expected yourself to come at night." Nikora smiled.
"We sure are." Nagisa said.
"So what is the surprise?" Taki asked eagarly.
"Well..." Masahiro was about to answer when suddenly there were some exciting voices.
"Hello People!" A voice said and he jumped beside Nagisa, which is none other than Shidou Hotoshi!
"Hotoshi-kun. You are here!" Luchia said happily.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome...me!" Another voice said and he jumped beside Masahiro. Gueese who? It's Kazama Yoshiro!
"Kazama-san is here!" Seira said happily.
"You brought them here?" Kaito asked.
"Yeah. They were actually wondering where you really live." Nagisa said.
"And when we told them that we know where you live, they really wanted us to take them to this place." Masahiro said.
"Well I'm glad you guys did." Sara smiled.
"Wow! What a big home you have." Hotoshi said in awe.
"Yep. This is where we live." Hanon smiled.
"Wow! Pearl Piari. Home sweet hotel home!" Kazama said happily.
"It sure is, Kazama." Rina smiled.
"Who owns such a big hotel home?" Hotoshi gasped.
"It is owned by Madame Taki and managed by me." Nikora said.
"Wow! What service does it offer?" Kazama asked excitingly.
"All service including wedding services." Taki said.
"Wedding service?!" Both boys asked in shock.
"Yep. It's big enough." Hippo said.
Both Kazama and Hotoshi smiled at their best friends for life.
"So pal, when are you going to get married?" Hotoshi smiled at Nagisa.
"What do you mean? All of us are still not in the age to get married." Kazama said.
Everybody laughed.
"If we get married, I'll be more than happy to invite you boys." Hanon smiled.
"Whoo-Hoo! Thanks." Hotoshi said happily.
"So let's see." Kazama said, "The surf champ with Luchia, Nagisa with Hanon and Rina with my best pal."
"Yep. That's correct." Rina smiled.
"Hey Hotoshi and Kazama-san. If you can find love then maybe we can have a double marriage ceremony." Seira said happily.
"Seriously?!" Both boys asked in shock.
"Yeah. Two is better than one." Yuri whinked.
"WHOA!"
"I think that will be better." Masahiro smiled.
"We will wait for you then." Nagisa said.
"Oh yeah. So in that case, me, you, Hanon and whoever I will fall in love will get married." Hotoshi smiled.
"That will be Coco." Hanon thought and smiled.
"And me, my pal, Rina and whoever I will fall in love will get married at the same time." Kazama said happily.
"Noel and you would be perfect." Rina thought and smiled.
Soon Kazama and Hotoshi jumped on the chairs.
"Ah! Such warming chairs." Hotoshi said happily.
"Nice. You got everything." Kazama smiled.
"Thanks." Nikora smiled.
Suddenly they saw Maki smiling at them and they were surprised.
"Maki. You live hear as well?" Hotoshi asked.
"Well I lived somewhere else but I moved here today." Maki said.
"I see." Kazama said.
"Boys. I want to really thank you for paying the bill of the food we had yesterday." Nikora smiled, "We thought that you might have forgotten it."
"No problem. We were also well aware of it." Nagisa said.
"Do you have the money with you?" Masahiro asked.
"Yep I have it." Maki said, "And as a result, you will have free food."
Hotoshi and Kazama jumped in joy.
"Three Pancakes!" Hotoshi called.
"Big Steak!" Kazama called.
"Cheese Sandwich!"
"Fish Fingers!"
So Maki and Nikora took down the order and went straight to the kitchen.
"Any luck?" Taki asked.
"If you are talking about sky luck, then sadly no." Hotoshi said.
"So it seems like nothing has changed since that day." Kaito said.
"Why? Oh Why?" Kazama cried.
"There goes my trip to the South Pacific Ocean." Hotoshi sighed.
"And there goes my trip to the Arctic Ocean."
"Hotoshi-kun, Kazama-san, don't be sad. I was never able to see the pink sky." Luchia said.
"Yeah. Me and Nagisa were never able to see the aqua sky." Hanon said sadly, "Isn't it Nagisa?"
"It sure is." Nagisa sighed and gave a thumbs down.
"But then how were you and Rina were able to see the green night sky?" Kazama asked in shock.
"It happens once in a life time." Rina smiled.
"Impossible. I sometimes even see the green sky twice!"
"Maybe the sky likes them." Hotoshi sighed, "Lucky green couple."
Everyone laughed.
"But there was red sky." Gaito said.
"No one is interested in the red sky." Masahiro said.
"I wanna see the orange sky." Seira said happily.
"Orange sky would be nice." Sara smiled.
"Brown sky." Kaito said.
Everybody laughed.
"Black sky?" Taki asked.
"WHAT?!" Everyone was shocked.
"Oops. My bad."
"Orange sky, Aqua sky, Pink sky! Goodness me people!" Hippo said, "How about rainbow sky?"
"Ah! Rainbow sky would be very nice." Yuri said.
"We're here." Maki called as he and Nikora served the plates to the four boys.
"Enjoy your free food." Nikora smiled.
"Oh boy! I'm so hungry. Let's dig in!" Kazama said happily.
"I'm joining you!" Hotoshi called.
"Me three." Nagisa said happily.
"Whoa! Slow down." Masahiro said.
So the four boys began to eat their free food with everyone smiling at them.
Me: Yep. End of Chapter 17.
Voices: The culprits are here!
*Enter Hotoshi and Kazama with handcuffs.*
Gaito *shocked*: Why in the world are you arresting us?!
Hotoshi: You are arrested for creating chaos and destruction. You yourself know what you did.
Kazama: And that goes for Sara and Yuri too.
Sara *gulping*: I can explain...
Kazama and Hotoshi: You will explain in the court!
Yuri: Ahh! Run for your lives! They are really serious about arresting us!
*So Gaito, Sara and Yuri are getting chased by Kazama and Hotoshi while Me and Seira are laughing.*
Me: See you in Chapter 18, people!
Seira *smiling*: And don't forget to review and like. Bye for now.
