*Trumpets sound can be heard. I appeared with the cast of 'The Mermaid Law That No One Knows' with smiles on our faces.*

Me: Hello People! I'm back!

*Everybody cheered. Kazama then started doing the Micheal Jackson dance in everyone clapped and cheered.*

Luchia*jumping happily*: After One month hiatus, we are finally here!

Hanon: Actually, it's not a one month hiatus. There are three days left till 28th.

Rina*smiling*: Yep. Last month on 28th, Zahir890 declared that the story will be in a one month hiatus. Here we are, on the 25th this month.

Kaito: But that's still really remarkable. You were able to publish three days before the one month hiatus ends.

Me*smiling*: And not only that, I have now publish two chapters in one day. Two Long Chapters!

Saito*shocked*: What! Two Long Chapters?! How is it possible?

Suzuka*jumping happily*: So that means we can have fun again.

Azumi*smiling*: Of course we can.

Naoki: Wow. I have to admit. You do have a strong memory.

Yukito: We are just worried that you might forget to do so and may never continue again.

Nagisa: What are you saying, mom? The story is so popular that there is no way that he will forget.

Masahiro: Yeah and besides, we have lots of fans here.

Me: First of all I would like to really, Really, REALLY thank all of you for being so patience and continue to review and like my story.

Nikora: And also he does not own Mermaid Melody. Just the OCs.

Me*smiling*: And now after a long time, here's Chapter 21 and later 22, both which are published today.

Mizuri, Yuzuka, Sakura, Koyabasa, Hibiki, Natsumi, Lisa and Seira: Hip Hip Hooray!

Others: Yahoo!

Hotoshi: Hey Kazama. What are you doing?

Kazama: Break Dancing! Cause we are back!

*Kazama again break dances.*

Chapter 21: House Visit 1 (Part 1).

The next morning:

Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Seira and Kaito told Nikora, Hippo, Taki, Gaito, Sara and Yuri about what happened in school yesterday. Nikora and others had arrived late at night when Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito, Seira and Maki were sleeping. They all laughed at things like: Fin Slap, Forehead Flick, etc.

"Wow Seira. Seems like your first day of school was really fun." Nikora smiled.

"It really is." Seira said happily.

But when they told about what Kazama said to Masahiro...

"WHAT?! They are actually keeping an eye on us?!" Gaito asked in shock.

"But what did we do this time?" Yuri whined.

"We have changed." Sara whined in which everyone laughed.

"Well you better not do something fishy." Rina sang and smiled.

"That's right or else they are gonna tell their mummies." Hanon sang and went on singing.

"And their mummies will tell Coco and Noel about it." Luchia smiled.

"And you will so be in big trouble!" Kaito smiled evily.

"But what if their moms might not believe them?" Nikora asked.

"Even if they do believe them, Coco-san and Noel-san might not believe their moms." Hippo said.

When everyone realized that, Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Seira fell in an anime-style and everyone laughed.

"Ha Ha. We are safe!" Gaito laughed.

"Yipee!" Yuri jumped happily.

"But if their moms don't believe them, Kazama and Hotoshi might bring their cameras and take photos of you." Taki said.

"Oh!" Everyone smiled evily at Gaito, Yuri and Sara who sweat and gulped.

"Now there's no way you can escape from cameras." Maki smiled.

"These boys sure have tricks on their sleeves." Sara sighed.

"And not only that, Kazama dared to challenge me to a duel if we had met him." Gaito growled.

"Their so called Operation: Rescue." Yuri whined in which everyone laughed.

"Admit it brother. Before you can do anything, Kazama might give you a good kick on your face and you will be beaten easily." Kaito smiled.

"But on the other hand, Hotoshi will be helpless if I was there." Sara smiled evily.

"And what if he was able to set Noel and Coco free before you meet him?" Seira asked.

"Well..."

Everyone laughed.

"By the way, what did you yesterday?" Hippo asked.

"Beach Fun!" Luchia said happily.

"Well it's a good thing you went to the beach." Nikora smiled, "Helps to refresh your mind."

"No wonder you woke up so late today." Taki said, "You had plenty of fun, right?"

The five of them smiled.

"So what did you do on the beach?" Gaito asked.

"Let's hear it. I bet they had plenty of fun." Yuri said.

"I was also on the beach but there were so many people at that time in the cafe that I didn't have the time to talk to you." Maki said.

They took a break for a few seconds before they began.

"First of all, Nagisa-kun, Hamasaki-san, Rina and Hanon had a joyful ride on the beach motor." Luchia said.

"How was the ride then?" Sara asked.

"It was really awesome!" Rina smiled, "I never thought that Masahiro could ride on it so well."

"And Me and Nagisa stood up carefully and said 'WE ARE THE KING AND QUEEN OF THE WORLD!" Hanon said happily at the top of her lungs.

"But did you fall off?" Hippo was a bit worried.

"Thankfully not."

Hippo sighed in relief.

"And then we saw men happily feeding Sarah desserts and sweets." Seira said happily.

Nikora, Taki, Gaito, Sara, Yuri and Hippo were a bit surprised.

"Really? Seriously?" Nikora was surprised.

"Maybe they fell for her beauty I guess." Taki said.

"It could be. I wish I was beautiful like Sarah."

"Looks like the beauty of Luchia-san's people exceeded the beauty of Luchia-san." Hippo said and everyone roared of laughter.

"She reminds us of Coco." Hanon said.

"She might have." Sara smiled, "Coco used to tell me in her kingdom that she hopes to attract a lot of boys with her beauty."

"Wow!" Rina said in awe.

"But she couldn't do so cause I locked her up along with Noel when I captured them." Gaito smiled.

"But she did come." Kaito said, "I wasn't there but Luchia, Hanon and Rina were there."

"What?! Is it true?! Oh man!"

Everyone laughed.

"Did she flirt everywhere?" Maki asked.

"Nope. She claims that she does so only at the beach." Seira said, "So I guess she is a half-flirt."

"Half-Flirt?!"

Everyone laughed loudly.

"Then we saw Kazama and Hotoshi doing an act in which Hotoshi was an Evil King and Kazama as a Prince with two of his fangirls being hold hostage." Kaito said.

"We joined Kazama-san and defeated the Evil King." Luchia said happily.

"People threw roses at Hotoshi because they thought that he died." Seira giggled.

"Not really dead. He acted dead." Maki said.

Luchia, Kaito and Seira nodded.

"Wow. Wish I was there." Yuri sighed.

"And then the Oh My God moment!" Hanon said, "You totally missed it."

"What did we miss?" Gaito asked.

"After that act, Kazama challenged the unbeaten team to a match in the beach volleyball game and he had Hotoshi and Sarah with him." Rina said.

"And the way she smashed the ball. Oh God. It's almost as if I heard a bomb coming off or a missile." Kaito said.

"Whoa!" Everyone said in awe.

"So what happened? Did they win?" Hippo asked.

"They did. And handsomely." Luchia said happily.

"Wow. I never thought she could play so well." Nikora said.

"If she is selected, then Japan will be an unstoppable beach volleyball team to beat." Maki said.

"How about let me challenge her?" Gaito asked.

"Please Gaito. Your handsome face will be squashed if the ball comes straight to you." Sara smiled.

Gaito gulped and everybody laughed.

"And then I surfed." Kaito said.

"Was this your first time seeing him surf?" Yuri asked.

"Not us. We saw it a couple of times." Luchia said, "It was the first time for Nagisa-kun, Hamasaki-san, Hotoshi-kun, Kazama-san and Sarah."

"Man. They really cheered like hell." Kaito smiled.

"Nice." Gaito gave a thumbs up.

"So overall. You had a really wonderful beach day." Nikora smiled.

"Yeah. Thankfully, there is no school today and no attacks from water demons." Hippo said.

"Hmm... I'm thinking about one thing which we have never done it before." Taki said.

"What could that be?" Sara asked.

"I'm thinking...I'm thinking..."

"Oh! What about Sarah's decision about whether to stay here or not?" Maki asked.

"Well about that..." Seira was about to say when everyone saw Luchia crying.

"Luchia? What's wrong?" Nikora asked.

"If only...If only I could have seen Momo and Momo-chan earlier." Luchia cried.

"Well what happened was that Sarah can't stay here because Momo was lonely and no one wanted to play with her." Hanon said sadly.

"And if Sarah leaves, Momo will become even more lonelier." Rina sadly said.

"So Sarah decided to stay back so that she can take care of them." Seira said.

Everyone felt sad for Luchia.

"Oh dear. Now that was really sad." Sara sadly said.

"But what can they do? You guys go to random places and they can't even find you." Gaito said.

"Gaito-sama has a point. You could have stayed at one point so that the dolphins could see you." Yuri said.

"Your eyes are almost red, Luchia." Taki sadly said as she gave Luchia a tissue.

"But was she really able to meet them?" Hippo asked.

"Yep but it was pure luck." Kaito said.

"Pure Luck?" Maki asked in surprise.

"Yeah. We had so much fun on the beach that we forgot to remind Luchia about telling Sarah to bring the dolphins with them."

"Luckily at night, Sarah was able to bring them and so that's how Luchia was able to meet them." Seira said.

"I just want to reward her for all the care she has done for me when she came in this world. I really want to. I don't know how!" Luchia cried and cried and she fully cried on the table.

Everyone felt sad for Luchia as they comforted her. Nikora, Maki, Taki and Hippo had a discussion.

"Luchia-san is right. Sarah-san deserves a reward for helping Luchia-san so much." Hippo said.

"In school or outside, Sarah tries her best to make Luchia happy ever since she came here. I had never seen a mermaid so helpful to the princess." Nikora said.

"Except when it comes to checking school work in which Luchia doesn't mind since she said that she will learn from her mistakes." Maki said.

"Apart from that, Sarah does care not only Luchia's welfare but her friends as well." Taki said.

"And it will be a great shame for us if we don't take care of Sarah." Hippo sadly said.

"We also have to be grateful for Sarah for taking care of Luchia when we were gone." Nikora said.

"But the question is, how will be reward her?" Maki asked.

Everyone thought for a moment. Suddenly Nikora had an idea.

"Luchia. I know what to do." Nikora smiled.

"Really?" Luchia asked.

"Yep but first we hope that Sarah can come."

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"I think she is already here." Hanon said.

"I see. Luchia, come with me to the kitchen." Nikora said.

"Hai." Luchia agreed.

So Nikora and Luchia went into the kitchen and Maki opened the door. It was really Sarah and her stomach was rumbling.

"It seems like you are really hungry." Maki said.

"I sure am." Sarah said meekly as her stomach continue to rumble.

"How about you sit down for a while, Sarah-san?" Hippo asked.

"Oh! You guys came back."

"Yep. We are back." Taki said.

"When did you come back?"

"Very late at night when Luchia and others are sleeping." Sara said.

"I see."

Sarah then took a seat.

"Where is Nikora?" Sarah asked.

"She is in the kitchen." Hanon said.

"Princess?"

"She is in the kitchen as well." Rina said.

"They will be back soon." Kaito said.

Silence occurred.

"So Sarah. I heard that your beauty has attracted a lot of men?" Gaito smiled.

A sudden laughter occurred as Sarah was red in cheeks and whistling.

"How...How did you know that?" Sarah sluttered.

"They told us about it." Yuri said happily.

"R...R...Really?"

"Yep. You really acted like Coco who is also my best friend." Sara smiled.

"And you will attract even more men if you become a beach volleyball star player." Taki said.

"What?! You knew that as well?" Sarah gulped.

"We told them." Seira said happily.

"You smashed the ball like a flaming comet and you wowed everybody." Hippo said.

"That's right. You will be feared internationally." Kaito said.

"And Japan will become the No.1 beach volleyball team." Maki said.

Sarah couldn't help but smile. Nikora arrived, carrying a tray full of breakfast. When she saw Sarah, she smiled.

"Ah Sarah. We were expecting you." Nikora smiled, "Seems like your stomach is rumbling."

"It sure is." Sarah sighed as her stomach continue to rumble.

"Well it looks like you are in luck here.

Nikora then served the dishes to Sarah. Sarah couldn't believe her eyes: Pancakes, Eggs, Bread and many other food.

"And not only that." Nikora smiled before calling out, "LUCHIA!"

"Coming." Luchia called out.

Luchia soon appeared, carrying a big cake. She smiled at Sarah and she put the cake on the table. Sarah was a bit shock.

"I didn't do anything special to deserve all this." Sarah said in surprise.

"Of course you did. You tried your best to keep me happy and take care of Momo and Momo-chan when I was gone." Luchia smiled.

"Princess?"

Hippo, Taki, Nikora and Maki bowed at Sarah.

"Guys?" Sarah was curious.

"Ever since you came into the human world, you tried your best to make Luchia-san happy and not only her, but her friends as well and we are truly grateful for it." Hippo said.

"I have never seen any mermaid who helps the princess and her friends a lot. Thank you so much for taking care of her when we were gone." Taki said.

"In school, you were even able to help her and make your English class fun for learning and not boring." Maki said.

"Sometimes I feel like you are her real sister and not me given how much you care of her. It will be a great shame for us if we don't try to make you happy." Nikora said.

Sarah looked at the food before a single tear came out from her eye. She then hugged Luchia.

"I will be glad to have your cake, princess." Sarah smiled, "Thank you."

"Sarah." Luchia smiled before hugging her, "It was the least I could for you."

Everyone smiled at Sarah and Luchia.

"You know what Sarah? I don't think it's necessary to call me princess anymore." Luchia smiled.

"Really?"

"Yep. For now on, you have the right to call me my name."

"Wow!" Everyone smiled.

"So to make things simple: I can call you Luchia from now on." Sarah said.

"Yep." Luchia said happily.

"But you have to call her princess if we are in the kingdom since there will be many mermaids at that time." Hippo said.

"That's mandatory of course." Sarah said.

"Oh wow! I think I will tell Meru to call me by my name if she arrives here." Hanon said happily.

"I think she is already calling by your name." Seira said.

"Oh!"

Everybody laughed.

"What about Hotoshi's and Kazama's mothers?" Kaito asked.

"I think they should also have the right to call them by their names." Rina said.

Sarah's stomach continue to rumble.

"Well looks like I better eat now." Sarah said as she prepared to eat the cake first.

"Enjoy the food." Luchia said happily.

So Sarah is happily munching the food and everyone is smiling at her.

"I was wondering one thing." Maki said, "Does Coco and Noel know that some mermaids might have children?"

"Hmmm... Good question." Gaito said, "Maybe not."

"I think being the son of a mermaid or a former mermaid princess can be an advantage for them and us." Hippo smiled.

"And what could that be?" Yuri asked.

"Well if you do something fishy, they are gonna tell that to their mommies." Hanon giggled and sang.

"And their mummies might tell that to the mermaid princess like us." Rina smiled.

"And what if they don't believe them?" Sara asked.

Hanon and Rina kept mum and everybody laughed.

"You got a point." Nikora said, "Although Nagisa and Masahiro knows that Gaito, Yuri and Sara have changed, Kazama and Hotoshi are unaware of it."

"Even if they do believe them, Coco and Noel might not believe them." Seira said.

"Wow. Another puzzle to solve." Taki sighed in which everybody laughed.

12 minutes later:

"How was it?" Luchia smiled.

"I...think I'm full." Sarah said before giving a burp in which everybody laughed.

Nikora gave Sarah a glass of water and Sarah drank it.

"It's a good thing that I was able to meet the former mermaid princesses yesterday." Sarah smiled.

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised all off a sudden.

"Oh Yeah. We have met the former mermaid princesses under the sea." Luchia said happily.

"So that means they are back." Taki said.

"Yep. After many days." Hanon said happily.

"So where are they now?" Hippo asked.

"What do you mean? Home of course!" Rina said sternly.

"Yeah. Don't expect that they will come here straight away." Kaito said, "They have to be with their husbands and sons first."

"And a daughter." Seira said.

"Yep."

"Just to make sure. Suzuka, Nagisa and Masahiro are the former mermaid princesses's children." Maki said in which everyone nodded.

"And Saito, Taoki and Shizuro are the former mermaid princesses's husbands." Nikora said.

"But we haven't seen them." Gaito said.

"Maybe they were inside their respective kingdoms so that's why we couldn't see them." Sara said.

"What did they do inside their kingdoms?" Yuri asked.

"Well due to our long absence, the people are feeling a bit insecure so they decided to cover up our absence by becoming the mermaid princesses temporarily untill the people feel secure themselves." Luchia said.

"Ah! Brings them back the memories when they were the mermaid princesses, isn't it?" Hippo asked.

"It sure is." Hanon said, "Brings back the good old times they used to have."

"Well it's because no one attacked their kingdoms except that stupid witch and her three worthless water demon servants." Rina said in which everyone laughed.

"Wow. Lucky them." Maki said.

"True and at time, everyone was attacking us." Kaito sighed.

"I feel bad for you all about what happened to you guys during Gaito's evil time." Seira said sadly.

"It's okay. At least everyone is safe now." Luchia said.

"Speaking about that, what did you do in the sea?" Sarah asked.

"What we did was..." Nikora was about to explain when suddenly...

"AHHH! HELP ME!"

"Don't worry. I'll get you down!"

Everyone realized their voices and panicked.

"It's Nagisa." Hanon gasped.

"And Hotoshi." Kaito gasped.

"But it seems like Hotoshi is in trouble." Sarah said.

"Sarah, Seira, Hanon, Rina and Kaito. Come with me. Others stay here." Luchia said.

Everyone nodded as Luchia, Sarah, Seira, Hanon, Rina and Kaito ran outside. What they saw outside almost shock them.

Hotoshi is upside down with one of his legs being tied up. Nagisa is desperately trying to get him down.

"Nagisa-kun? Hotoshi-kun?" Luchia gasped.

"What did I do to deserve this?!" Hotoshi whined.

"Could someone help me get him down?" Nagisa asked.

"Of course Nagisa." Hanon smiled, "Don't worry Hotoshi. We will get you down."

"Let me help." Seira said as she and Hanon began to untie Hotoshi.

"Oh dear. The traps that we set up are still there." Luchia sighed.

"And the question is why did you set up these traps in the first place?" Kaito asked.

"Well..." Both Luchia and Rina gulped.

"Looks like you have a lot of explaining to do." Sarah said.

"I know." Luchia said.

8 minutes later:

Hotoshi had his left thumb bandaged because he got a cut when being tied upside down. Nagisa is beside him.

"Explain the meaning of this trap!" Hotoshi demanded.

Nikora, Taki, Hippo, Luchia, Hanon and Rina whistled.

"Brother, did you know about this?" Gaito asked.

"Nope." Kaito said.

"Why in the world did you really set up these traps?" Seira asked.

"Maybe they set up these traps at night to make sure no thieves can come here." Yuri said happily.

"Well it's more than that." Hippo said.

"That's funny. I never got caught in any of those traps." Maki said.

"I walk in a different route to come here." Sarah said.

"Do you have anything to say about it?" Sara asked sternly.

"I think it's better if we take turns." Nikora said.

"You go ahead first, Luchia." Taki said.

Luchia was about to explain when suddenly, she remember one thing in her mind.

"Hotoshi-kun, Nagisa-kun, Sarah, Gaito, Yuri, Sara and Maki-san might not know about Rihito-san. Maybe I will have to change things a little bit." Luchia thought before beginning to explain:

"What happened was that one night, we saw our kitchen had been in a mess which means that a thief must have entered in order to steal our precious object."

"And what object is that?" Hotoshi asked.

"A music box."

"To protect the music box, we have to set up some traps to make sure the thief gets caught." Rina said.

"Unfortunately, the first one to fall into the trap is your best friend for life, Nagisa." Hippo said.

Hotoshi gasped and looked at Nagisa who sighed for a moment. Hotoshi stood up and said angrily:

"HOW COULD YOU ACCUSE HIM OF THAT?! HE IS NOT THAT CRAZY TO GO RAMPAGE AROUND YOUR HOUSE!"

"Wow. Hotoshi does care for Nagisa." Taki thought.

"Please listen Hotoshi. We at first thought that he was the thief but when he said that he came here right now, we realize that he wasn't." Hanon said.

"Oh." Hotoshi calmed and sat down, "Sorry for my anger."

"That's okay." Hippo smiled.

"But isn't it the time to remove the traps?" Nagisa asked.

"I don't think it's necessary to remove those." Kaito said, "It could be useful."

"Yeah. It might happen in the night that the thief might spring into this place and steal some items." Gaito said.

"I think I finally your reason now." Seira said.

"But you should put the sign saying do not walk in that route cause there are traps here." Sara said.

"And what happens if the thief actually sees that sign?" Sarah asked, "They might use a different strategy."

"Maybe then you boys should make sure that you should not go to that route." Yuri said.

Silence occurred for a moment.

"I'm really sorry boys. These traps need to be kept to protect burglary." Taki said.

"We understand." Nagisa and Hotoshi said.

"How about you have something to eat?" Maki asked.

"Two ice-creams please. Nagisa will take vanilla while I will take strawberry." Hotoshi said, "Can you lead me to the toilet?"

"Sure."

So Maki lead Hotoshi to a toilet.

"Now think what will happen if Sarah or Meru gets entangled by the traps?" Nagisa asked.

"Oh!" Everyone then realized.

"Maybe you two will have to apologize by sitting up and down hundred times." Rina teased.

"Rina!" Luchia and Hanon whined in which everybody laughed.

15 minutes later:

Hotoshi and Nagisa are happily eating the ice-creame. Everyone smiled at them.

"How was it?" Maki asked.

"Cool. Thanks." Hotoshi said, "More ice-cream please."

"I think we better not or else we are gonna get brain freeze!" Nagisa said.

"Oh. You got the point."

Everyone laughed.

"Well Hotoshi. Can you answer this question?" Seira asked.

"And what is that?" Hotoshi asked.

"How did you and Nagisa become best friends for life?"

"Oh!" Everyone then realized.

"Well that will be quite interesting to hear from one of you." Rina smiled.

"Do we have to tell?" Both of the boys gulped.

"Well there's really nothing wrong with that." Luchia said.

"How about you tell us how you and Kaito become lovers?" Nagisa asked.

"Pure and simple. She saw me surfing and we fell in love." Kaito said.

"What?! Love at first sight." Hotoshi sighed in which everyone laughed.

"It's an entirely different story. I will tell you later." Hanon whispered to Nagisa.

"I see." Nagisa said slowly.

"Don't be afraid boys. We won't tell anyone." Hippo said.

"Please Please Pretty Please?" Yuri pleaded.

Both boys sighed for a moment.

"Alright then. Someone give me a glass of water." Hotoshi said.

"Here you go." Nikora said as she gave Hotoshi a glass of water.

"It's a long story, you know that." Nagisa said.

"We are ready for the long story." Sarah smiled.

"This is gonna be interesting, isn't it Sara?" Gaito asked.

"It sure is." Sara smiled.

"Alright then. It all started..." Hotoshi began to explain.

Flashback (Two years ago outside the school):

Hotoshi was relaxing happily on the tree while other students are playing, singing and laughing. It happened like that for a few minutes.

However two bullies, whom everyone feared, went around searching for someone to bully with. When the students saw them, they immediately shrieked in fear. The two bullies then saw Hotoshi and smiled.

"Well who do we have here?" One bully asked.

"A yellow haired kid happily sleeping on the tree." The 2nd bully said, "Let's throw some water at him."

The bullies then threw a huge bottle of water at Hotoshi. Hotoshi immediately got up and when he saw them, he was shocked.

"You?!" Hotoshi gasped.

"That's right, kiddo." The 2nd bully said, "What are you doing here? Sleeping on a tree?"

"Like I will tell you!"

"Oh really?" The 1st bully asked angrily.

The 1st bully then grabbed Hotoshi and slammed him on the tree. The 1st bully had Hotoshi on his grip and Hotoshi was trying to get free. The bullies were wowed by his appearance.

"Oh Wow! Not only he has yellow hair but yellow eyes as well." The 1st bully smiled.

"No wonder everyone likes you." The 2nd bully said.

"GO AND PICK SOMEONE ON YOUR OWN SIZE!" Hotoshi shouted angrily.

"What did you say?" The 1st bully asked angrily.

"You Guys are really Cowards and pick people who are smaller than you!"

The 1st bully threw Hotoshi and Hotoshi landed on the middle of the football area where the students gasped in horror and agony. One student tried to run to call the principal but the 2nd bully saw it and shouted angrily:

"If you try to tell the principal about us, you will suffer the same fate as him!"

The student gulped and stopped running.

Hotoshi was hurt and tried to get up but he couldn't. He was on a verge of crying but he didn't do so. Then out of nowhere, the 1st bully put his foot on Hotoshi's back.

"What should we do to him?" The 1st bully asked.

"Cut his hair and make him bald." The 2nd bully said happily.

"Ha Ha! What fun!"

"You have got to be serious!" Hotoshi said in shock.

The 2nd bully took out a auto hair clipper and turned it on.

"We are serious." The 2nd bully said.

But before they could do that, they heard a voice:

"Let him go."

When they turned around, they saw a boy, who has dark blue bushy hair and blue eyes, standing. He is at the same age as Hotoshi (11 years old). He is not happy at what are they doing to Hotoshi.

"Who are you and What do you want?" The 1st bully asked angrily.

"My name is none of your concern. Just let him go." The boy said.

"Oh really?" The 2nd bully asked.

"If the police are there right now, you would have been rotten in the prison."

The students gasped at what that boy is saying. The two bullies stood up and looked at him angrily. The 2nd bully was still holding the auto hair clipper.

"You got a lot of nerves and guts to come out here and say these things to us, kiddo." The 1st bully said angrily.

"Once we get our hands on you, we will make you bald!" The 2nd bully said angrily.

"Try me!" The boy dared.

The bullies were stunned by his words. The 2nd bully charged towards that boy with the hair clipper. However, the boy then moved a little bit and tripped the 2nd bully as he fell down. The hair clipper went flying and when it landed, it cut of part of the 2nd bully's hair. Everyone was shocked.

The 1st bully roared in anger as he charged towards the boy but the boy also tripped him and he fell down.

The bullies were not finished yet as they tried to charge towards him yet they get tripped over by that boy. Everyone was surprised, including Hotoshi:

"Wow! He is so brave! These bullies are getting tripped over."

"Isn't he the new student who came to our school two days ago?"

"I think he is the one."

After a few more trips, the bullies were hurt badly. The boy is laughing at them.

"Had enough?" The boy asked, "You guys call yourself superior and yet you fall over many times!"

"You son of a..." The 1st bully said angrily when suddenly their ears got pulled by none other than the...principal!

"Uh Oh!" The 2nd bully gulped.

The principal looked around in shock as she saw the hair clipper and Hotoshi lying down as he tried to get up. The principal looked at the bullies in anger.

"What's this?! HAIR CLIPPER?! A CHILD GETTING BEATEN DOWN! HAVE YOU TWO GONE MAD?!" The principal shouted at them angrily.

"We didn't actually..." The 1st bully was about to say but the principal interrupted.

"NOT ONLY YOU HAVE BEATEN HIM UP PHYSICALLY, YOU COULD HAVE HARMED HIM MENTALLY!"

"Please listen..." The 2nd bully pleaded.

"I HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR EXCUSES! IT'S TIME FOR BOTH OF YOU TOO FACE THE MUSIC!"

And so the principal pulled their ears and started to drag them to the principal's room and the two bullies were kicking and screaming in pain. The other students followed them, curious to know what will happen next. This leaves only Hotoshi and the boy behind.

The boy then rushed to see if Hotoshi is alright.

"Hey. Are you okay?" The boy asked.

Hotoshi then hugged him on the body and started crying.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! I didn't know what to do!" Hotoshi cried.

"There There. You are safe now." The boy patted Hotoshi.

After a few minutes, Hotoshi looked at him.

"How could you be so brave? I have never seen anyone brave from my class." Hotoshi asked.

"When I was little, I use to go on a far away adventures and never got lost." The boy smiled, "Plus I couldn't stand them taunting you mentally."

"Say. Are you the new student who came here two days ago?"

"I sure am."

"What's your name?"

"Nagisa Shirai."

"I see. Shidou Hotoshi."

Hotoshi then tried to get up but he was in a bit of pain.

"Looks like you landed down hard after they threw you." Nagisa said, "Let me help you get up."

Nagisa picked up Hotoshi and slowly dragged him to the first aid.

Present day:

After Hotoshi finished the story, Hanon happily hugged Nagisa.

"OMG! You are so brave! I'm so happy to have fallen in love with you." Hanon said happily.

"I really want to be brave like you." Seira said happily.

"Well you actually need to be calm and cool to do so." Nagisa smiled, "That's what Masahiro said to me."

"If that's the case, then I will need to learn something from him." Rina smiled.

"If Nagisa-kun wasn't there at that time, then they would have really cut down all of your hair." Luchia said.

"Yeah and I would have been scared for life." Hotoshi said.

"But what did the principal do to the bullies?" Sarah asked.

"She slapped them a suspension notice."

"But before that, we had the chance to humiliate them." Nagisa smiled.

"Really? What did you do?" Sara asked.

"WE MADE THEM BALD!" Hotoshi and Nagisa sang.

"Well they deserved it." Kaito said.

"Did you pull out their underwear?" Hippo asked in which everyone laughed.

"That's what other students did." Nagisa said.

"And not only that, the others who got bullied before gave them many jump scare scenes." Hotoshi laughed.

"Looks like they got bullied instead." Yuri said in which everyone nodded.

"In a form of payback." Gaito said.

"Have you heard anything from them since?" Nikora asked.

"Nope. Not much." Nagisa said.

"But we have heard that they have been arrested for shop lifting." Hotoshi said.

"What's shoplifting?" Taki asked.

"It means shopping without paying." Maki said.

Everyone laughed. Hotoshi and Nagisa got up.

"You are leaving, boys?" Sarah asked.

"Yep. We have a lot of things to do cause the school is closed." Nagisa sighed, "Let's go Hotoshi."

"Right behind you." Hotoshi said happily.

The boys then left.

"I'm still worried that what's gonna happen to Nagisa if Watashi escapes." Hanon said.

"Don't worry Hanon. Watashi is gonna regret it when he comes back." Rina said, "Beside he has been in jail for 6 years already."

Afternoon:

Luchia is on a date with Kaito while Rina is on a date with Masahiro. While others are staying behind, Hanon decided to go out on an adventure herself in which some of them are concerned.

"Are you sure Hanon-san? You might get lost." Hippo said.

"Don't worry Hippo. I won't." Hanon smiled.

"But you don't have a bike unlike Nagisa." Taki said.

"That will be fine as well. I can walk."

"Okay Hanon but don't go too far that you might end up getting lost." Nikora said.

"Hai." And then Hanon left.

Half and hour later:

So Hanon had a long walk to the forest. It should have actually been a long walk taking an hour but there was a woman taxi driver who offered her the ride after seeing her sweat a lot. Hanon gladly took the offer and they rode on the route in which Nagisa and Hanon use to go in the bicycle. The taxi driver dropped Hanon after they rode up because the taxi driver said that she can't go any further. Hanon didn't mind. After paying the taxi driver some money, Hanon resumed her journey. After walking in the forest where there are many trees, she then saw a big tree.

Hanon then realized this tree. She then remembered that this was the tree where Nagisa showed her. The Legendary Tree. The tree in which Kandou Shirai, Nagisa's ancestor, found the the Sea Godness's staff and used it to save the mermaid race. Hanon smiled after seeing the tree.

"This tree is really beautiful. This is where Nagisa's ancestor had found the Sea Godness's staff." Hanon said to herself before putting her hand on the tree, "It's still fresh and strong even after so many years."

Suddenly she heard a flute's tune of the song 'Kibou No Kaneoto'. When she looked up, she saw Nagisa, sitting on a branch, playing the flute. She smiled and listened to the flute's tune for a moment before singing the part of the song, following the tune:

Junbaku no

Tsuba wo yasumete yasashiku nemutte

Ikitai to negai umareta deshou Saa

Kibou no kane oto saigo no uta wo ima

Tsuyoi mono dake no sekai janai kara

Listen to my love kono uta wo

"Hanon. You are here?" Nagisa called up from above.

"Oh Nagisa! I'm down below." Hanon called up.

"I'm coming down. Wait for a moment."

Soon Nagisa began to climb down the tree. Hanon was surprised that he is climbing down very fast.

5 minutes later:

Nagisa is resting his head on Hanon's lap. Hanon is rubbing Nagisa's hair and smiling at him.

"How did you learn to climb up and down the tree so fast?" Hanon asked.

"My dad knows how to climb trees when he was in teens and he taught me when I was little." Nagisa said.

"Did you fall down?"

"Well yeah. I did. Luckily, my dad caught me and my mom checked to see if I was okay. I wasn't hurt luckily."

"Phew. That was a relief."

A breeze of wind came towards them.

"This tree..." Nagisa began.

"Hmm?" Hanon was curious.

"This tree is everything to us, the Shirai family cause this is where my ancestor first found the staff and used it to safe the mermaid race."

"So it seems like it's a precious to your family."

"Yep and it needs to be protected at all costs."

"I see but what if some people are determined to cut it down?"

"Then my mom will call Aqua-Regina and she will protect the tree."

"Does she know about it?"

"Yeah. She knows about it."

Nagisa then realized one thing.

"Hanon? How were you able to come here?" Nagisa asked.

"Well I thought I could walk but it was so tiring but then a taxi driver offered me a lift so I was able to come to that route where we use to go." Hanon said, "Then I was wondering around the forest and then when I saw this tree, I realized that this was the Legendary Tree you showed me."

"I see."

"Say Nagisa?"

"Yep."

"I met your mom yesterday night under the sea."

"I know. Mom told me about that when she arrived yesterday night. I was a bit worried though because I thought that she might return yesterday morning."

"So what did you do when your mom returned?"

"Well..."

Flashback (Yesterday night):

Nagisa and Taoki Shirai are scratching their heads. Yukito still didn't come.

"Dad. Where's mom?" Nagisa asked, "Wasn't she suppose to come this morning?"

"I know son but right now, I fear that something must have happened to her." Taoki said.

"You mean there is an attack from another water demon?!"

"Chill Nagisa. If there was then her messenger should have told us about it."

"Oh sorry."

Just then, the door bell rang. Taoki opened the door. Guess what? It's none other than Yukito Shirai with a cheerful smile on her face.

"Hello boys. Miss me?" Yukito smiled.

"Mom. You came!" Nagisa said happily as he ran to hug her. Yukito hugged Nagisa back.

"Of course we miss you. What happened to you?" Taoki said.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't come this morning. My friends didn't want me to let me go this morning." Yukito said sadly before giving a kiss on Nagisa's forehead and then Taoki's.

"Oh. So that's why."

"And not only that, I was able to meet Hanon and others."

"Whoa Really?" Nagisa asked in excitement.

"Yep. We were about to leave when they suddenly appeared. They must have heard our voices. I was able to meet the English teacher who hails from Luchia's kingdom."

"That must be Sarah."

"I see. Anyway what did you do in the kingdom?" Taoki asked.

"The people are feeling a bit insecure so Meru requested me to come over and be the mermaid princess temporarily untill they all feel secure." Yukito said.

"So in short: Mermaid Princess Simulator." Nagisa smiled.

"Probably you can say that."

The three of them laughed.

"But it seems it brought you back the good memories when you were the mermaid princess." Taoki smiled.

"It sure is. I felt like I am back to being the mermaid princess again." Yukito said happily.

"So what did you do there?" Nagisa asked in excitement.

Yukito then told Taoki and Nagisa about what she did when she was in the kingdom.

Present day:

"Wow. It seems like you, Yukito and Taoki are one happy family." Hanon thought and sighed.

"It really brought back the good times when she was in the school teens with Azumi and Naoki and how they had fun under the sea." Nagisa smiled.

"Well your mom had the good times. We had the bad times." Hanon cried.

"I pity you."

"Thank you."

Both Nagisa and Hanon shared a little laughter. Hanon then hugged Nagisa with tears in her eyes.

"Hanon?" Nagisa was surprised.

"I have never thought you could be so brave. Not only you saved Hotoshi from those bullies but you also saved me from that magician (Lady Bat). I don't even think I'm bravier than you." Hanon cried.

"You need to be cool and calm to do so. That's what Masahiro said to me."

"I see."

"Well I might be brave but..."

When Nagisa looked at the Mermaid Flute, terrible flashbacks started to appear around his head and Nagisa was groaining in pain. Hanon noticed it and immediately patted on his head.

"Darn that Watashi bastard! Who in the world he think he is?!" Nagisa asked angrily.

"Nagisa. I'll share your sorrow and happiness with me." Hanon smiled, "I also share your anger against that Watashi."

"Thanks Hanon. But why? Why didn't he get excuted as well? It's not fair!"

"Nagisa."

Hanon then decided to calm him down. She then put her hands on his face. Then when Nagisa turned around, Hanon then kissed him on the lips. Nagisa was a bit surprised but he closed his eyes as they share a deep kiss under the covers of 'The Legendary Tree.'

Evening:

Hanon told the others about what happned this afternoon.

"Aww! I never knew Nagisa-kun could miss his mom so much." Luchia squealed.

"What did you expect? Of course he missed his mom! He hadn't seen her for days!" Hippo said sternly.

"And he was really overjoyed to see her again. Taoki was also overjoyed as well." Hanon smiled.

"Masahiro, Shizuro and the butler were also overjoyed to see Naoki again." Rina smiled.

"Where did you find Nagisa?" Nikora asked.

"I found Nagisa sitting on a branch of The Legendary Tree." Hanon said.

Everyone got curious all off a sudden.

"The Legendary Tree?" Seira asked.

"Yep. It's that tree where Nagisa's ancestor, Kandou Shirai, found the Sea Godness staff and used it, without actually knowing it, to save the Mermaid Race." Hanon smiled.

"So the tree is still standing there after so many years?!" Taki gasped.

"Yep. Still standing tall and fresh." Hanon said.

Everyone was awe-struck.

"Oh wow! I wanna see that tree." Yuri said happily.

"I wanna see it too." Sara smiled.

"Actually it's more than just a tree." Hanon said, "It is one of the precious tree for the Shirai family."

"Precious tree for the Shirai family?" Everyone asked.

"Yep and it needs to be protected at all costs."

"Wow. So that must mean that they are not gonna let it being cut down for whatever reason." Kaito said in which everyone nodded.

"Is it near?" Hippo asked.

"Nope. It's a bit far." Hanon said.

"But then how can they protect it if some so determined people are determined to cut it down?" Maki asked.

"They will call Aqua Reqina-sama and she will protect it."

"But does she know about it?" Gaito asked.

"Yes she does."

Everyone smiled for a moment.

"We will really should see that tree one day." Rina smiled.

"Are you going to tell about that to your children when you and Nagisa-kun get married?" Luchia asked.

"You bet I will." Hanon said happily.

Suddenly there was door knock and Nikora ran to opened the door. Who it is? It's Saito, Azumi and Suzuka!

"Yo people." Saito smiled.

"OMG! After a long time." Kaito said happily as he rushed to hug Kaito.

"Where have you been brother?" Gaito also said happily as he too hugged Saito.

"Hey you two! You are squeezing me!" Saito gasped between breathes in which everyone laughed.

Kaito and Gaito realized it and let him go.

"Azumi. It's good to see you again." Luchia said happily.

"It sure is after yesterday." Azumi smiled and he and Luchia shared a laugh.

"How things go Suzuka?" Seira asked.

"It is super awesome. Mummy has returned from home yesterday night." Suzuka said happily.

"She has been so hyped up since I returned." Azumi said.

"The boys were hyped up as well." Rina smiled.

"Not to forget their husbands as well." Hanon said happily.

"So you must be Azumi's husband, I presume?" Sarah asked.

"Yep I am." Saito said, "Who are you by the way?"

"Oh Saito. This is Sarah, one of the people from my kingdom." Luchia smiled, "Sarah. His name is Saito."

"Ah. So that means you are a Panthalassa as well." Sarah said.

Saito gasped for a moment.

"How did you know about that?" Saito asked in shock.

"Well the pronounciation of 'Aito' immediately recognizes you as a Panthalassa." Sarah smiled.

"And together they make the Aito bros." Yuri said happily.

"Boo!" Kaito, Gaito and Saito whined in which everyone laughed.

"Or Panthalassa bros." Sara said.

"Yes! Thank you Sara."

"Hmmm.. Looks like she is your daughter." Sarah said, "What's your name?"

"Suzuka." Suzuka smiled.

"Nice name. Can I give you a lift?"

Suzuka gladly nodded as Sarah lifted her up and they enjoyed themselves for a while. Luchia saw in awe as she saw how Suzuka is happily enjoying with Sarah.

"Wow. Sarah could actually be a good mother if she gets married." Luchia thought and smiled.

"And so Suzuka, Nagisa and Masahiro are the former mermaid princesses children." Taki said.

"So it seems like you are happily married." Sarah said happily.

"Well..." Azumi gulped.

"It's a long story." Saito said.

"I see. I will hear it later." Sarah said.

"Anyway, what are you hear for?" Maki asked.

This is where Saito, Azumi and Suzuka gave a big smile on his face.

"We are actually thought of inviting all of you guys to come to someone's place." Saito smiled.

"We are actually going to someone's house." Azumi smiled.

"We are going to Nagisa's house." Suzuka said happily.

Everyone was in awe.

"You are actually inviting us..." Nikora gasped.

"...to go to Nagisa's house?" Taki asked in shock.

When Saito, Azumi and Suzuka nodded, everyone erupted in joy.

"This is awesome! We are going to Nagisa's house." Luchia said happily.

"Wow! That's really great." Rina smiled.

"Cool! I have never visited anyone's house other than here." Kaito said.

"This is really gonna be an interesting visit." Gaito smiled.

"We can also finally get to see Nagisa's dad after so many days." Seira said happily.

"It will be really interesting to see one of my first year student's room." Sarah smiled.

"I would just love to see what's inside Nagisa's room." Yuri said.

"I would love to see it too." Suzuka said happily.

"What do you think? It's going to be our first visit in the human world." Nikora smiled.

"It sure is." Taki said.

"I can't really wait to go there but is there space for all of us?" Maki asked.

"Don't worry Maki. We are riding on the SUV." Saito said.

Everyone was in a bit exciting mood but...

"We have a problem." Sara said.

"What could be the problem?" Seira asked.

"Did anyone ask Nagisa about his address?"

Suddenly all of them fell down in anime-style. Their hopes are being dashed away.

"Hanon!" Everyone said sternly.

"I'm really sorry guys." Hanon cried, "I should have asked Nagisa about his address."

"It's okay. We don't need to." Hippo smiled.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Yuri asked.

"We are gonna use this."

Hippo then ran to Luchia's room and a few seconds later, came back with a radar in his hand.

"What this?" Azumi asked.

"This is the Pearl Radar." Hippo said.

"Pearl Radar?" Saito asked.

"The Pearl Radar is the radar that I use to locate the pearls of the Mermaid Princesses."

"Wait. So that means.." Suzuka said.

"Yep. I can make it locate the pearl of the former mermaid princess who now holds the extra aqua pearl, Yukito. This will give us the route to where the Shirai family lives."

"Oh wow! At least it saves time into calling their family to ask for their address." Kaito said.

"Actually we are planning for a surprise visit." Saito said.

"Oh. Then you could have taken their address before." Gaito said.

"Hippo. Thank you so much. Our hopes were almost dashed." Hanon cried.

"Anything for the princess." Hippo smiled.

"Azumi, Saito and Suzuka. Thanks for organizing a surprise visit to Nagisa's house. I should have gone there before."

"No worries Hanon. You are his girlfriend after all." Azumi smiled.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's prepare ourselfs." Sara said.

"YEAH!" Everybody cheered.

So everyone went to their respective rooms to get themselves prepared.

19 minutes later:

After every preparation had been done, everyone is hoping into the SUV but they are finding it difficult to find space. Even Saito was a bit surprise. An SUV with 16 people inside is a bit tricky. Saito, Azumi and Suzuka are in the front with others stuck in the middle and back. Hippo decided to change into penguin form so that he can stand on top of the dashboard and can tell Saito which direction to go.

"Well everyone. Here we go!" Saito said happily as he started the engine.

"Yahoo!" Everyone cheered and off they went.

Everyone chatted about their excitement to go to Nagisa's house while Hippo is checking the Pearl Radar and telling Saito whether to go left or right. Azumi and Suzuka looked behind.

"I'm sorry that there is no space cause we are 16 people in here." Azumi said.

"Are you all okay?" Suzuka asked.

"I'm okay cause we are going to Nagisa's house." Hanon said happily.

"I wonder what Nagisa's room looks like." Luchia said.

"No idea Luchia but I'm sure it is gonna be filled with mermaid things." Kaito said.

"I think Masahiro knows about it cause there's no doubt that he and his parents had visited their house many times." Rina said.

"And what about Hotoshi? He must also have visited his house as well." Seira said.

"Do you think Nagisa might be in the house?" Yuri asked.

"No offense but it could be a good thing if he is not in the house. We can get to see his room and stuffs." Sara said.

"And maybe we can get to see his photos." Sarah smiled.

"Ah yes. Cute baby photos." Maki said.

"I think it's our first time riding on a SUV." Nikora said.

"What's a SUV?" Gaito asked.

"Sports Utility Vehicles like this." Taki said.

"How long?" Saito asked.

"Just a couple of meters left." Hippo said.

Few minutes later, they are going up. Hanon was a bit surprised because it's the same route where Nagisa took Hanon on a date.

"Hmmm. It seems like this is the same route where me and Nagisa went on the date." Hanon said.

"So that must mean you know where Nagisa lives!" Luchia said.

"No I don't! I was just curious about the route."

"Is this also where we can find the Legendary Tree?" Kaito asked.

"Yep."

"Well we will look at it later." Nikora said, "I don't think evening is the time where we can find the Legendary Tree."

"Yeah. We might end of getting lost." Gaito said.

"The Legendary Tree?" Azumi asked curiously.

"Yep. It's the tree where Kandou Shirai, who is Nagisa's ancestor, found the Sea Godness Staff." Sarah smiled.

"And used it to save our race." Seira said happily.

"Wow! I really want to see that tree one day." Suzuka said happily.

"We all hope so." Saito said.

"Saito. Stop right there." Hippo said.

Saito then stopped the SUV and everyone got out, feeling the fresh air after being in the SUV for more than 20 minutes. Hanon was even more surprise. She remembered being lost with Nagisa and also has clearly remember seeing these houses.

"Nagisa told me before that we should be around his neighbors. So that means one of these houses should be Nagisa's house." Hanon thought.

"Okay so it seems like we close to Yukito's aqua pearl." Hippo said.

"Which means that one of these houses should be Nagisa's house." Nikora said.

"But the question is which one?" Rina asked.

Everyone was a bit confused and pointing at different houses but as for the five of them...

"I think the left one could be Nagisa's house. It's in aqua color." Sarah said.

"I was also thinking the same thing." Hanon said.

"Who knows? Let's check it out." Azumi said.

They all went to an aqua house. Hippo looked at the Pearl Radar and smiled. The aqua pearl in the radar is blinking in the middle.

"Yep. This is the one." Hippo smiled.

Everybody cheered and jumped in joy.

"So this is Nagisa-kun's house!" Luchia said happily.

"Cool! I can't wait to see what's inside the house." Kaito said.

"But who's gonna ring the bell?" Rina asked.

"I will." Hanon said happily as she rang the bell.


"Wonder who's coming this time." Taoki thought as he ran to open the door.

But little did he know he will get a shock in his life. When he opened the door...

"It's..." Taoki gasped in amazement.

"HELLO!" Everyone gave a cheerful smile.

Taoki was a bit surprise for a moment.

"Surprised?" Gaito asked.

"Of course I am." Taoki said in amazement.

"We were actually planning for a surprise visit to visit you." Saito smiled.

"Sorry if we interrupted you into doing something." Azumi apologized.

"It's fine. I wasn't doing anything. I was just watching T.V." Taoki said.

Everyone smiled.

"Taoki-san. It's really good to see you after some time." Hanon said happily.

"Yeah. It's good to see you all as well." Taoki smiled, "You also met my wife under the sea yesterday when she was returning."

"And also Naoki as well." Rina smiled.

"We were all so excited after seeing them." Luchia said happily.

"Where were you all this time?" Kaito asked.

"I was fishing all this time." Taoki said.

"So you were living with Nagisa when she left." Nikora said.

"Actually me and Yukito left together, leaving him alone for sometime. I was competing in a fishing competition. I came back 3 days ago and Yukito came yesterday."

"Whoa! Fishing competition?" Taki gasped.

"What happened? Did you win?" Maki asked excitingly.

"Wait till you get inside." Taoki said.

"Taoki-san. I'm the new student in Nagisa's class." Seira said happily.

"My wife told me about it. Seems like you are having fun with him and his friend."

"Of course I am."

"And I'm their teacher." Sarah smiled.

"You must be the English teacher who comes from Luchia's kingdom I heard." Taoki said.

"Yep. Sarah is my name."

"Speaking about it, where's your wife?" Sara asked.

Then they heard a voice from upstairs.

"Taoki. Who's there?" Yukito called.

"It's Luchia and others. Saito and his family are also here." Taoki called back.

"What?! They are here?"

"Yeah."

"Give me a minute."

"What is she doing up there?" Gaito asked.

"Combing her hair as far as I know." Taoki said.

Yukito then soon came downstairs. Upon seeing Luchia and others, she was very surprised.

"Yukito. We are here!" Hanon said happily.

"How did you guys know that this is our house?" Yukito asked.

Hippo then took out the Pearl Radar and showed it to them.

"This is the Pearl Radar. We used it to track down your extra aqua pearl you have in your shell locket." Hippo said.

"Ah. So that means it's a new form of GPS." Taoki smiled in which everyone laughed.

"We thought of a surprise visit to your house." Saito said.

"Well we are definitely surprised." Yukito smiled.

"If you were doing anything, then we are really sorry for interrupting it." Azumi said.

"No need to apologize. I was just combing my hair."

"Is your son there?" Suzuka asked excitingly.

"That is the problem. Because you came on a surprise visit, we didn't know that you will be coming. He is outside. Should I call him to come over?"

"No. Please don't. It will be an excellent time to go and have a look around at your house." Hanon said happily.

"And his room of course." Seira said happily.

"Yeah. His room. We can look some of his stuffs when he is not around." Kaito smiled evily.

"I hope he and Masahiro didn't hatch any plans against us just like what Hotoshi and Kazama did on their so called Operation Rescue." Gaito growled in which everyone laughed.

"This is our first time visiting to someone's place. So we are a bit nervous." Sarah said.

"Don't worry. You will have an excellent visit here." Taoki smiled.

"Why not you come in?" Yukito smiled.

Everyone smiled as they went inside. By the time they stepped inside the house, they are all awe-struck by the beauty and the scenario inside the house.

"Oh wow! The walls are in aqua color! Yipee!" Hanon jumped happily.

"Your house is so beautiful." Luchia said happily in which Yukito and Taoki smiled.

"Whoa! You even have the latest flat screen plasma TV set." Rina said in excitement as she looked at it.

"Whoa! Look at those mermaid pictures." Kaito exclaimed.

"And those good times pictures in the frame." Gaito gasped.

"Your rooms are very unique. I have never seen rooms like this in our life." Nikora said in awe.

"It's our first visit to anyone's house so we should be." Taki said.

"Should we go and see Nagisa's room?" Seira asked in excitement.

"Not now Seira. One at the time." Sara said.

"I see. So this is what it's like to live in a house." Sarah smiled.

"I lived with Gaito-sama in the castle under the sea but it's really nice to live here if we are in the human world." Yuri smiled.

"I remember that you live in a different house when we were in teens but I think this is a much nicer place." Azumi smiled.

"There is plenty much to explore." Saito said.

"To make it simple: Your house is awesome." Suzuka said happily.

"Thanks. We really appreciate it." Taoki smiled.

"Why not you guys sit down?" Yukito asked, "You had been standing for a long time."

Everyone agreed as they sat down on a nice aqua sofas. Maki then looked around and suddenly saw a swordfish pinned on the wall with a silver trophy and a picture of Taoki with the captured swordfish above the drawer.

"Hey. Is this the recent fishing competition result?" Maki asked.

"Yep. It sure is." Taoki said.

"Looks like you got 2nd place rather than winning the competition." Saito said.

"That 1st place guy caught even a bigger and fatter fish."

"Well at least you did get 2nd place rather than not getting anything at all." Azumi said.

"I know and I am proud of it."

"Wow!" Everyone said in awe.

Luchia, Nikora, Taki and Hippo looked at the pinned swordfish for a moment before they couldn't believe their eyes. Luchia jumped with joy and everyone was looking at them in surprise.

"Luchia. Why are you jumping crazily?" Kaito asked.

"Maybe they are excited to see Taoki's prize." Sarah said.

"Or maybe something else." Gaito said.

"No it's not." Luchia said happily, "Taoki. Thank you so much for saving us."

"Indirectly." Hippo said.

"Who cares?! He still saved us." Nikora smiled.

"We are truly grateful to you." Taki said happily.

Everyone became confused all off a sudden.

"Luchia. How can this be related to it?" Hanon asked in shock.

"I'm totally confused." Yukito said.

"Well maybe they have a reason for it." Saito said.

"So let's hear it." Rina said.

The four of them took a breathe for a moment before saying.

"Okay. So this swordfish was always bothering us when we were swimming. He always tried to poke or impale us with his long sword-like nose." Luchia said.

"We were just wishing that he was completely gone for us." Hippo said.

"We were also wondering why he never chased us when me, Taki, Hippo, Gaito, Sara and Yuri went into the sea." Nikora said.

"And now, we found the answer." Taki said happily.

Everyone gasped for a moment.

"So you are saying that my husband caught the swordfish that has been bugging you always?" Yukito gasped in shock.

"Yes!" Luchia said happily, "Taoki! Thank you so much."

Everyone smiled at Taoki and congratulated him.

"Oh wow! You saved Luchia and others indirectly. Just like your son who saved us indirectly." Hanon said happily.

"Forget indirectly. He saved us all and that's a fact." Rina smiled.

"And now you are on the list." Seira said happily

"No wonder the Shirai family is saving us." Sara smiled, "Now I understand why your ancestor was the saviour of the mermaid race."

"I don't get it. How can you save someone indirectly?" Suzuka asked.

"You really need pure luck to do so." Maki said.

"Yeah. Just like what Nagisa did." Kaito smiled.

"As well as Masahiro who was enjoying the green scenario and it covered the battle part without knowing that you guys were battling against a water demon with horns." Saito said.

"And now you caught a swordfish that has been bugging Luchia and others without actually knowing about it." Sarah smiled.

"Thanks goodness you Shirai people weren't there." Gaito sighed, "Otherwise who knows when we can get bad luck."

"I thought I would have got caught as well." Yuri said, "If you hadn't known me before, you could have ended up frying me."

"Wow Taoki. You had made a life saving rescue by catching that swordfish." Azumi smiled.

"If we were the judges, we would have given you 1st place!" Luchia exclaimed.

"Wow Taoki. Do you have anything to say?" Yukito smiled.

"Well I don't know but I'm glad that you guys could swim freely for now." Taoki smiled.

Everyone smiled at Taoki. They then saw another picture. The picture frame was Azumi, Yukito and Naoki with their respective husbands when they were teens. The Mermaid Flute and The Mermaid of Love locket are also seen in this picture.

"I believe this was taken when you and Shizuro discovered that your wives were the former mermaid princess." Nikora said.

"Yep. This is the one." Taoki smiled.

"Kaito. Saito almost looks like you except hair and eye color." Luchia said happily.

Saito and Kaito looked at the picture and shared a little laugh.

"Ah. Brings back the good old times." Azumi smiled.

"Oh and about that..." Yukito suddenly remembered something.

Everyone looked at Yukito to hear what she has to say.

"The thing is when we told what happened to Azumi after he looked at that picture, he was very sad but he said that if he finds Hippo..." Yukito said.

Yukito turned to Hippo and gave an evil smile:

"He will throw you into the sharks."

"Oh!" Everybody gasped and Hippo looked white in the face.

"Sharks?!" Hippo gulped.

"That's right." Taoki said.

"Oh. Looks like you are lucky that I didn't get to know Nagisa at that time." Hanon smiled and teased.

Yuri shrieked and covered Hippo.

"But I thought..." Yuri gasped.

"Calm down Yuri. That was before." Sara said.

"Yeah. I think he won't throw him right now after he knew Hippo's reason, isn't it?" Gaito asked.

Yukito and Taoki nodded. Everyone sighed in relief.

"Okay. I am curious of one thing. What does Shirai means?" Hanon asked.

"White well obviously." Azumi said.

"Or shark-related." Yukito winked.

Everyone was shocked all off a sudden.

"What did you just say?" Saito gasped in shock.

"Shark-Related." Taoki said.

Everyone gasped even louder.

"Wait. So does that mean..." Luchia gasped.

"Ohhh Hippo. I bet he was really serious about throwing you into the sharks." Rina smiled.

Hippo and Yuri are white in face.

"Wait! Does it mean he will throw me as well?!" Gaito gulped.

"Yep." Yukito whinked.

Gaito's face became white.

"Oh wow! Shirai means shark!" Seira said happily.

"I seriously think that Nagisa sure really does like sharks." Kaito said.

"Maybe in his room could be a bundle of sharks." Nikora gulped.

"Stop imagining things, there's no way a shark can fit in his room." Sarah said in which everyone nodded.

"Well. Untill we see his room, we cannot be sure." Taki said.

"I am really curious about this boy." Maki was a bit interested.

"I think it's really a good thing to come here." Azumi said, "We can get to know more about him."

"But who knows when Nagisa might pop up all of a sudden." Sara said.

"And if he sees us in his room, then...then..." Suzuka gulped.

"We all know what's gonna happen." Saito said.

Hanon thought for a moment before jumping happily.

"OMG! No wonder! He has the bravery of a shark!" Hanon said happily, "Not only he was able to safe Hotoshi from the bullies when they first met, he was also able to safe me from a water demon."

"Well he is except..." Yukito said but everyone interrupted.

"We all know." Everyone said.

Taoki sighed for a moment while everyone smiled as they once again looked at the picture frame of the six of them. Rina was more curious about Naoki. Despite knowing that Naoki is strong in judo and Naoki wearing a boy's uniform, her personality is totally different from Rina's personality. Rina wondered how Naoki was able to fall in love with Shizuro in school and wished that she herself could have known a lot about Masahiro in the first place.

Then they looked at the art portrait of a man. It's none other than Kandou Shirai holding the Sea Godness's staff.

"I believe this is Kandou Shirai, isn't it?" Sara asked.

Yukito and Taoki nodded with a smile.

"The man who saved the mermaid race." Gaito said.

"That's him. He's the one!" Hanon said happily, "Me and Nagisa met him."

"But how was he able to save the mermaid race?" Suzuka asked.

"He just tapped the staff on the ground near the river and everything went flash." Yukito winked.

"Oh God. How can he be so handsome in the feudal era?" Kaito asked in shock.

"Well he was born like that." Luchia said.

"That's really a nice painting." Nikora smiled.

"Who actually drew that?" Sarah asked.

"My late father." Taoki said.

"I see." Maki said.

"What do you think would have happen if you were there?" Hippo asked.

"Me?! I would have been exterminated for good!" Yuri whined in which everyone laughed.

"That's really a nice art he drew." Saito said.

"How much will it cost?" Azumi asked.

"3 billion yen." Yukito said happily.

"Eep! So much!" Suzuka freaked out in which everyone laughed.

"Of course it will be so much. It's a masterpiece." Seira said.

Everyone looked at the art for a moment.

"We sat for sometime now. Now let's go and explore your house." Rina smiled.

"With the main being Nagisa's room." Hanon said happily.

Everyone nodded as they stood up from their sofas. First they saw the kitchen room and then they went to the door of the another room.

"What's inside this room?" Hanon asked.

And then when they opened the door, they were pretty surprised. Inside the room are couple of clothes, jeans, dresses and many other different types of clothes.

"What's this?!" Everyone asked.

"My fashion designing room." Yukito said happily.

"Wait. So that means...?!"

"Yep people. I make all the finest clothes and jeans at a different size and sell them at a very good price." Yukito said happily.

"Do you accept home delivery?" Nikora asked.

"Yes. Call me and I will deliver it."

"Which shop do you originally deliver to?" Maki asked.

"Beauty and Fashion Shop."

Luchia and others gasp for a moment.

"Beauty and Fashion Shop?" Hanon gasped.

"OMG! That's the shop we also go." Luchia said happily.

"Wow. Really?" Yukito gasped in amazement.

"Yep. What a coincidence." Rina smiled.

"But the problem is that we don't know which are the clothes or jeans Yukito makes." Kaito said.

"We can take the home delivery instead." Sara smiled.

"And besides you do know our address, don't you?" Taki asked in which Yukito nodded.

"How long does it take for you to make a cloth or a jean?" Seira asked.

"Twenty minutes or less." Yukito said.

Everyone was shell-shocked!

"Twenty minutes only?!" Azumi gasped in shock.

"It would take at lease more than 50 minutes to make a cloth." Saito said in shock.

"Are you a wizard or a magician?" Suzuka asked.

"No. She isn't one of them." Taoki said, "Even in teens, she makes cool clothes and look at the top of the cupboard to see the result."

They all looked at the cupboard and shocked when they saw a first place trophy and a picture of Yukito holding a woman's clothes with the caption label: Most Beautiful Female's clothes.

"And they are in high quality as well." Sarah said.

Everybody then said "OMG!" before looking at the other clothes and jeans that are still hanging on the wardorbe.

"Oh wow! Look at them. It's beautiful, isn't it?" Luchia said happily.

"It really is. They are in very high quality. I wanna learn from her." Hanon said happily.

"These jeans fit perfectly." Rina smiled, "It will also fit on Masahiro as well."

"Wow! You even make wedding dresses as well." Seira said happily, "Male and Female."

"Can we try them on?" Sarah asked.

"Of course you can." Yukito smiled.

Everyone tried the clothes on and to their surprise, it does fit them!

"Hippo-sama. How do I look?" Yuri asked as she is wearing the woman's wedding dress.

"I think you look really pretty, Yuri-san." Hippo smiled as he is wearing the male's wedding dress.

"Whoa! I look cool with this new T-shirt." Kaito said happily, "What about you, brother?"

"I look cool too." Gaito said happily, "What about you Saito?"

"Me three." Saito said happily.

"It has been a while since I last wore Yukito's made clothes." Azumi smiled.

"This is the first time I am wearing it." Sara smiled.

"Oh wow! I look so pretty." Seira said happily.

"Me as well." Suzuka said happily.

"We have already discovered two things." Taki smiled.

"Yep. First is that Taoki has caught that swordfish which was bugging us." Nikora smiled.

"And now we discovered that Yukito is more than a professional fashion designer." Maki said.

29 minutes later:

Everybody changed back to their original clothes and smiled at Yukito.

"Arigato Yukito!" Everyone cheerfully smiled.

"Yukito. We will pay you more than you currently offer." Azumi smiled, "Your clothes are wonderful."

"Thank you." Yukito smiled.

"Yukito. Could you teach me how do you make such high-quality fashionable clothes?" Hanon asked, "I'm also a fashion lover but there's no one who could match your skills. Not even me."

"I will certainly do so if you have the time."

Everyone smiled at Yukito.

"So. Shall we go upstairs now?" Taoki asked.

Everybody nodded as they exited the fashion room and went upstairs.

When they did go upstairs, they saw another latest flat screen plasma TV set, much to everyone's shock.

"How many latest flat screen plasma TV sets you have?" Rina asked in shock.

"Two." Taoki said.

"This one is for playing video games." Yukito said happily

"Really?" Kaito asked curiously.

"Yep. Family fun at night."

"Wow! I wish I could be part of it." Hanon said happily.

"So who wants to join?" Taoki asked.

Everyone raised their hands saying, "Me! Me!". Kaito raises his hand first so he has got the chance to play it.

Taoki then turned on the Sega Dreamcast and inserted the 'Re-Volt'. Everyone was getting excited as this is the first time they are watching someone playing the game.

"Kaito. Have you ever played these before?" Luchia asked.

"Yeah. Before I met you." Kaito said, "But it has been a while now."

"Taoki. What are these in the screen?" Hanon asked curiously.

"They are remote controlled cars. They will be racing on the ground." Taoki said.

"I see."

"It seems like you have never seen a video game before." Yukito said.

"This is our first time by the way so we know little about it." Rina said.

"I hear that children tend to be violet because they play games with lots of violence." Sarah said.

"Well we don't have any." Yukito said.

"How about I see the disks?"

"Sure."

Yukito then gave a bag of Sega Dreamcast disks to Sarah. Sarah then began to check the disks one by one. The others also looked at it with awe and amazement.

"Oh wow! So many games." Seira said happily.

"Another discovery made." Yuri said happily.

"We should make a visit to other places." Hippo smiled, "That way we can get to know more about them."

"I think you are a really good mother." Sarah smiled as she gave it back to Yukito.

"Thank you." Yukito smiled.

"But then why didn't he tell us about it?" Sara asked.

"These things are not available in the sea world and he knows that very well." Gaito said.

"True. We never saw these things in our lives." Nikora said.

"But now we are seeing it for the first time in our lives." Taki said.

"This will be really interesting." Maki said.

Suddenly the loading screen is completed and it looks like the race is about to begin.

"Ready to race?" Taoki asked.

"You bet I am." Kaito said in determination.

So the race began as Kaito and Taoki began to mash the controls. Some of them are cheering for Taoki or Kaito or both of them. It is a close contest between Taoki and Kaito.

"Looks like we really are having a pretty good race there." Suzuka said happily.

"Hmm. It does seem to remind me that we use to hang out in the arcade when we were in teens." Saito smiled.

"It sure is. Especillay with Naoki and Shizuro." Azumi said and giggled.

10 minutes later:

"NOO!" Kaito said in horror.

Kaito's player two remote controlled car crashed into a lamp post in the closing moments as Taoki crossed the finish line. Everybody clapped at Taoki.

"Hooray! You won!" Hanon said happily.

"Mou. That was so close." Luchia sighed as she comforted Kaito.

"Now I won again and no one has beaten me so far." Taoki smiled.

"Really? You did get beaten once." Yukito said.

"Eh?" Everyone asked in shock.

"Well..." Taoki gulped.

Flashback:

Taoki and his son, Nagisa, are playing the remote control car racing game 'Re-Volt' with Yukito watching. It was the final lap and Taoki is well on the lead.

"Come on son. You can do it." Yukito was cheering for his son.

"I'm trying mom but he is going too fast." Nagisa said as he tried to catch up with him.

The two remote control cars are heading for a U-turn.

"Just this one drift and I'm the winner." Taoki said happily as he began to drift.

However, to his shock, the car drifted so much that it ended up spinning around. In contrast, Nagisa also drifted but it didn't spin around and he began to speed up again.

"Oh No!" Taoki gasped in horror.

"Oh Yes!" Nagisa said happily as he crossed the finish line.

"Hooray! You win!" Yukito said happily.

Yukito and Nagisa celebrated while Taoki slapped himself.

Present:

Everyone looked at Taoki, who was whistling himself, and had a little laughter.

"Hiding from the fact that you got beaten by your own son, eh?" Hanon smiled evily before starting to laugh.

"If it wasn't for that drifting problem." Taoki whined in which everyone laughed.

"Chill out. It was really a good race." Kaito said, "Next time, I will beat you."

"We will see about that."

Everyone smiled and laughed as Taoki switched off the Dreamcast and put it back to where it was.

Luchia then saw a big picture frame on the right side of the wall.

"What's this huge picture frame?" Luchia said in awe.

"That's the Legendary tree." Yukito smiled.

Everyone saw the picture frame in awe.

"The Legendary Tree?" Rina gasped.

"The tree where his ancestor first found the Sea Godness's staff." Kaito smiled.

"So it seems that our son has told you about it." Taoki said.

"He actually told me all about it and I later told them." Hanon smiled.

"I see."

"I actually understand why this is called Legendary Tree." Sarah said, "It is standing tall and strong."

"For so many years." Nikora said in awe.

"I wonder how was it able to survive for so long?" Maki wondered.

"I think the Sea Godness was able to keep the tree for so long and protected it from any harm." Saito said.

"I think you took us there once where we all had a picnic." Azumi smiled.

"The good times." Yukito smiled.

"I think we should really go there and see it one day." Seira said happily, "What do you think?"

"Yep. It would be nice to see that tree by ourselves." Yuri said.

"I want to see it too." Hippo said happily.

"It would also be fun if we can also see Nagisa there." Suzuka said in which everyone nodded.

"It seems that the tree is really precious to you." Sara said in which Taoki and Yukito nodded.

"And it must be protected at all cost." Gaito said.

"Well luckily Aqua Regina-sama knows about it." Taki said, "And she will protect it."

Everyone nodded and looked at the picture for a moment.

"Well then. Should we head off to your room?" Nikora asked.

They all nodded as they went to the left side of the door which is Yukito's and Taoki's room.

They then entered the room where all of the visitor are amazed by it. The room has a fishing rod in which Taoki uses, a middle size single bed, two drawers, a cupboard, a shelf where three books are there in three different columns, a wardrobe and the basic items like powder, lipsticks, etc with a mirror. There is also a window.

But in there, there is also a large picture frame in which Taoki is holding Yukito happily during their marriage. Taoki smiling and holding Yukito while Yukito happily hugging Taoki while holding the Mermaid Flute. A clear sky, some people happily clapping and Yukito's shell locket can be seen on the picture as well. When they saw the picture, everyone said "OMG!"

"This must be your marriage picture, right?" Luchia asked in excitement in which Yukito and Taoki nodded with a smile.

"KYAHH! You are so kawaii in this picture!" Hanon squealed in excitement as well, "Both of you look so cute with your aqua wedding dresses."

"Oh how I wish I was there!" Seira cried in joy.

"That must be the Mermaid Flute you are holding, right?" Nikora smiled.

"Yep that's the one." Yukito smiled, "He was carrying me so I thought of carrying his flute."

"Did you invite your people as well?" Taki asked.

"Of course she did." Taoki said, "If you look closely, you will notice one of her friends is jumping happily."

"I think I saw it. OMG! This is so awesome!" Hanon jumped happily, "I'll be sure to invite all my people on my marriage with Nagisa."

"Naoki and Shizuro were there as well, right?" Rina smiled.

"Of course but there were way too many people." Yukito sighed.

"Did you get married first?" Kaito asked.

"Nope. Shizuro and Naoki got married first." Taoki said.

"I think we need a time travel machine right now to go to your marriage." Sarah said in which everyone laughed.

"So this is how marriage is in the human world." Sara smiled.

"I wonder how the marriage works in the sea world?" Gaito wondered.

"I think it's almost the same as in the human world but in different speech." Hippo said.

"So after the marriage, you began to live here?" Maki asked.

"No. We lived somewhere else and we moved hear two years ago." Yukito said.

"Was Aqua Regina-sama here as well?" Azumi asked.

"Yep. She was here to bless us." Yukito smiled.

"Nice." Saito smiled.

"Wow! So me and Hippo can get the blessing and be happily married." Yuri said happily.

"Huh? Since when did you fall in love with Hippo?" Suzuka asked.

"Well...Long short story."

Everyone laughed. Then they looked at the shelf in where three books are there in three different columns.

"What's that in the middle?" Maki asked.

"I believe that's where you keep the book of Mermaid Laws book after you found it in the sea." Nikora said in which Yukito nodded.

"And the other two?" Hanon asked.

"Photo albums." Yukito smiled.

Everyone was in a shock.

"Photo albums?! Really?" Hanon was very excited.

"Yep. The top one is photos of us and Nagisa and the bottom one is photos with others." Taoki said.

"OMG! Can I see it?! Can I see it?!"

"Not now. Later." Taki said.

"Mou."

"Can we explore your room?" Sarah asked.

"Feel free to do so." Yukito smiled.

Then they started to explore the room.

"Wow! Yukito's clothes on the left side of the wardorbe and Taoki's clothes on the right side." Luchia said.

"These must be Yukito's made clothes." Hanon said happily.

"That's very smart of them to arrange like this to avoid confusion." Rina smiled.

"Can I try them on?" Seira asked.

"They will be too big for you." Kaito said in which the five of them laughed.

"Whoa. What a fishing rod you have." Saito said in awe.

"Very Very unique." Gaito said.

"So you use this one to catch that swordfish." Maki said in which Taoki nodded.

"Yep." Taoki said.

"What do you think are these?" Taki asked curiously as she pointed at the table with items and a mirror.

"What do you mean?" Nikora asked in shock, "Powders, Lipsticks, Mirror, etc."

"What do you think is inside the drawer?"

"Questions Questions." Sara sighed.

"Hey! This is our first time we are visiting someone's house so I have the right to ask questions."

"She is right." Azumi said, "You guys are visiting here for the first time. Plus there are some items which I remember and some not."

"Well in the drawer, there is a mobile phones, contact lists and other stuffs." Yukito said happily.

"I see." Taki said.

"Hippo-sama. Look at the window." Yuri said happily.

"I know. It's a really pretty nice sky." Hippo smiled.

"Oh wow! So will I be able to see the Legendary Tree?" Suzuka said happily as she jumped at Hippo and Yuri.

"No! It's too far!"

Everybody laughed.

"It's a really nice room you have." Nikora smiled.

Then they exited the room. Nagisa's room is straight away from them.

"Where do you do your bath and toilet?" Hanon asked.

Yukito pointed at two doors which are on the right side.

"The left door is the bathroom and the right one is for toilet." Yukito said.

"I see." Hanon said.

Silence occurred for a moment. Slowly their excitement grew as they looked straight at the door that has not been explored. You could have probably guessed what is inside the door by now.

"Well then everyone. This is the moment you have been waiting for." Taoki said.

"Getting excited, people?" Yukito smiled.

"Of course we are getting excited." Luchia said happily, "The room we are waiting for."

"Nagisa's room." Hanon said happily.

"It will be really interesting to see what could it be inside his room." Kaito said.

"Yeah but we have to make sure he is not near around at outside." Gaito said.

"True. Both he and Masahiro can pull out a few surprises." Rina smiled.

"Like what happened to us recently." Sara said.

"But is the door locked?" Seira asked.

"I don't think the door is locked." Yuri said, "He doesn't know that we are here."

"It will be very interesting to see how he studies." Sarah said.

"And his grades." Nikora said.

"Maybe we can also to see his private stuffs." Hippo said.

"Yeah but we shouldn't tell that to him." Suzuka said, "Otherwise he will be very angry and might never allow us to see his room."

"That's very true." Saito said, "We are seeing his room at a great risk."

"It's a good thing that he is not here right now." Azumi said.

"I wonder if we can borrow some things from him?" Taki said.

"Huh? What are you talking about? You can't just take away things straight away." Maki said.

"Oh. Sorry."

"Enough talking now and now let's explore his room!" Hanon said happily.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.

"Alright then. Here we go." Yukito smiled.

And so, they walked slowly to the door which is Nagisa's room

TO BE CONTINUED.

Yukito: Wow! This is the first TO BE CONTINUED in the story.

Me: Say. Where are the others by the way?

Taoki: They all returned to their rooms.

Me: And where is Nagisa?

Hanon *smiling*: Looks like he is hiding somewhere because his room is next. Come out Come out wherever you are.

*So Hanon started searching for Nagisa while Yukito and Taoki are laughing.*

Me: Well then it continues on Chapter 22. Enjoy the next chapter now. ;)
