Me *jumping happily*: Wow! I thought the next two chapters might take 4 weeks but it took only two weeks instead.

Shizuro: It took you only two weeks because you had nothing left to do.

Naoki *smiling*: Will this story go on forever?

Me: Not really cause there are a few chapters left.

Naoki *sad*: Oh man.

Shizuro *puzzled*: Say? Where is our son and his would be wife by the way?

Butler: Playing chess.

Chapter 23: Mansion Visit (Part 1)

Afternoon:

Rina sat on a rock in the cliff where she and Masahiro agreed to meet there. It was also the cliff where Masahiro first saw her singing.

Rina looked at the sky as the cool breeze came by. Rina smiled as she remembers the day Masahiro first saw her singing and the day she found Masahiro with the locket on the beach.

"Wow. The memories. So beautiful." Rina thought and smiled.

And then she started to sing.

"Itsuka, konna hi ga kuru to yokan shita..?

Koi ni tomadou kokoro yurete yurete itai hodo..

Daremo, kidzukanai fukai kanashimi mo

Naze ka tsutawatte shimau

Marude saiai no hito no you ni

Someone was watching her singing. Yep, it's him. None other than Masahiro Hamasaki. He smiled as he continues to hear Rina's singing. He is wearing the Mermaid of Love Locket around his neck.

Watashi to iu chiisa na hoshi

Hito shizuku no ai ga mebaeta

Ushinau mono osorete wa tatakaenai

Tsuki ni inori hoshi ni inori

Yuku beki michi mune ni kizamu

Namida ga atsuku naru wake wa..

Unmei no Piece of Love

Meguriaeta Piece of Heart"

And then suddenly, everything become green all of a sudden, much to Rina's surprise.

"Ah! The green sky. Wait! So that must mean only one thing..." Rina thought and realized.

But before she could turn around, someone closed her eyes.

"Nice singing." A voice smiled.

He then uncovered Rina's eyes. When Rina turned around, it was Masahiro smiling at her.

"Yo." Masahiro smiled.

"Masahiro." Rina said happily and flung her arms around him.

"You are acting like you haven't seen me for days."

"Well..."

Both of them started to laugh. Rina then sat on the rock while Masahiro stood up.

"Rina." Masahiro said, "You know something?"

"What could that be?" Rina asked.

"You remember that I told you that I sit here when I have something to think about and I enjoy the scenario and it cools my head off?"

"Ah yes. You told me about it."

"Well now I can finally say that when everything becomes green, I enjoy it and that cools down my head."

"Masahiro."

Masahiro then sat beside Rina as Rina rested her head on Masahiro's shoulder. They watched the scene for few minutes.

"Let's go somewhere." Rina smiled.

"Where?" Masahiro asked.

"Anyway."

"Okay then."

Then Masahiro stood up and tapped Rina's shoulder and happily said, "Tag!"

"Eh?" Rina was confused.

"Catch me if you can."

"Come back Masahiro. I will catch you soon enough."

So Rina started to chase Masahiro. They are laughing, smiling and running at the same time.

"I know I had lots of fun with my friends but I don't remember the last time I had fun with someone special." Rina thought and smiled as she happily chased Masahiro.

---

Outside the Awami Shrine:

Rina and Masahiro are sitting on a bench, breating heavily after all the running. Rina then tapped on Masahiro's shoulder.

"Tag! I finally got you." Rina said happily.

"What?! Oh Man!" Masahiro whined in which Rina laughed.

Soon they looked at the shrine. That's right, The Awami Shrine. Rina and Masahiro hold each other's hands.

"That's the Awami Shrine." Rina smiled.

"It is. Remember the day we went there to have our blessing?" Masahiro smiled.

"I sure do. And not only that, we met your ancestor and the green mermaid princess who saved him. What was his name again?"

"Tajiro Hamasaki."

"And this was the day where the yakuzas got blinded by your locket."

"And the way they jumped and screamed."

Both Rina and Masahiro started to laugh loudly.

"This shrine is really famous. Many people come here." Masahiro said.

"But only you, your parents, me and my friends know about the true history of it." Rina smiled, "But does the Shirai family know about it?"

"Yep. They know about it very well. Speaking about that, what about the others?"

Rina then thought for a moment.

"I think everyone knows it. I'm not sure though." Rina said.

"Never mind about that. We can talk about it later." Masahiro sighed.

Masahiro and Rina had a little laugh.

"Masahiro. I met your mom yesterday under the sea." Rina smiled.

"Good for you cause we are overjoyed to see her again." Masahiro said happily.

"And Luna."

Masahiro's happy face immediately turned into sad face.

"You met him with mom, right?" Masahiro asked.

"Yep." Rina said.

Masahiro looked a bit down. Rina could easily understand why Masahiro is down.

"Masahiro, please don't be sad. Naoki told me and others everything about it. Luna cried because he didn't see you for so long." Rina said.

"It has been a long time since I last rode with him when me, my parents and my butler went on a trip to the North Atlantic Ocean. I have a photo of it. Sometimes when I see that photo, I tear up." Masahiro said sadly.

"Masahiro."

Rina then comforted Masahiro by hugging him. Masahiro knows that Rina is sharing her sadness with him so he embraced as well.

"Your mom will find some ways to make Luna see you." Rina said.

"I believe in her." Masahiro smiled.

Rina also smiled as well.

"So what happened when your mom came back?" Rina asked.

"It all started with this..." Masahiro then began the tale.

Flashback (Yesterday Night):

"Dad. Did anything happen to Mom?" Masahiro asked worriedly.

"I have no idea son. I'm also worried." Shizuro was worried too, "If there was any attack, then Luna would have told us and you could have met Luna after a long time."

"Sir. Did you keep contact with her ever since both of you left?" The butler asked.

"Problem was that I haven't seen Luna as well."

The three of them gulped. Suddenly, the bell rang. The butler opened the door. It's none other than Naoki Hamasaki, who is smiling at them.

"Hello. Did I worry you all?" Naoki asked.

"Mom! You are hear! I'm so glad! Of course, you made us worried." Masahiro said happily as he rushed to hug his mom. His mom hugged him back.

Naoki looked sadly at his son and then to her husband and butler.

"Butler, Shizuro, son. I'm really sorry I couldn't come in the morning. My friends didn't want me to leave." Naoki sadly said as she gave a kiss on Masahiro's forehead.

"Well the best thing is that you came back with no danger at all." The butler said.

"There was actually no danger at all." Naoki smiled as she gave a kiss on butler's forehead.

"Naoki. I'm really sorry that I couldn't keep in contact with you. I was so busy that if you had sent Luna to search for me, he won't be able to find me." Shizuro cried.

"Shizuro. Please don't blame yourself. I myself forgot to keep in touch with you." Naoki said as she gave a kiss on Shizuro's forehead.

Shizuro and Naoki hugged each other with Masahiro and the butler smiling at them.

"Oh by the way, son. I met Rina and others at the sea when we were about to return." Naoki smiled.

"Oh Wow! Really?" Masahiro asked in excitement.

"Yep. Not only them but the English teacher as well who came from Luchia's kingdom."

"That must be Sarah. Amazing!"

"But how did you meet them?" The butler asked.

"We were comforting Luna when they appeared all of a sudden. It seems that they must have heard our voices. There we had a chat."

"Mom. How is Luna? Is he fine?" Masahiro asked worriedly.

"Luna is in fine and in good health. I know you want to meet him. He wants to meet you too. I'm finding a way of doing so."

"Please do so, Mom."

"Shizuro. When did you come?"

"Between Morning and Afternoon but our son was out to the beach by the time I came." Shizuro said.

"I see."

"Well. At least, Rina and others were able to meet you, Yukito and Azumi."

"You bet. And they met Luna too."

The four of them smiled.

"So maam. What did you do there?" The butler asked.

"Luna told me that some people are feeling a bit insecure because Rina is out for a long time. So I decided to cover up her absence by becoming the mermaid princess temporarily untill all the people feel secure." Naoki said.

"So you became the mermaid princess temporarily. Now you are back to being the former mermaid princess yet again." Masahiro teased.

"Well yeah. I'm back to being the former mermaid princess."

All four of them laughed.

"But this brings the good times when you were the mermaid princess, isn't it?" Shizuro smiled.

"It sure is. I feel like I am back to being a mermaid princess again." Naoki smiled.

"So maam. Why not you tell us?" The butler asked.

"True. I'm also really excited to hear it." Masahiro said happily.

"Well then. Here I go." Naoki smiled.

Naoki began to tell Shizuro, The butler and Masahiro about what she did when she was in the kingdom.

Present day:

"Amazing. All four of you are living really happy lives without any trouble at all." Rina thought and smiled.

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

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

"I feel really sorry that you had to bear the pain and witness Gaito's destruction on your kingdom."

"I had so much hate against Gaito at that time and I even thought that Kaito was Gaito in disguise. But now after hearing all the reasons, I can't help but feel sorry for Gaito and Sara. Especially Yuri."

Both Masahiro and Rina sighed for a moment. Rina put her hand on Masahiro's hand.

"Masahiro." Rina said softly.

"Yep?" Masahiro asked.

"Do you remember what happened the last time on the cliff?"

A big sigh appeared on Masahiro's face.

"Yeah. I remember." Masahiro sighed, "I'm sorry I acted like that towards you which caused you to cry."

"No Masahiro. It was my fault. We had our secrets. I didn't know that your mom will turn into bubbles if you did tell me about this locket without knowing the real truth about me." Rina said.

"Rina."

"Masahiro. I want you to listen to me please. I said it the last time but I was in tears and I didn't know what I was saying."

"I'm listening Rina. Go ahead."

Rina then took a breathe for a moment before saying this to Masahiro:

"Masahiro." Rina began, "Ever since I saw you, I thought I can spend some time with after you saw me crying on the beach. But I was scared. My heart split into two. Half of my heart wants to be with you and half of my heart wants me to go back to the kingdom."

"At that time, I knew nothing about you apart from you do boxing and motor racing. I didn't know anything about your parents, your locket, your ancestors, nothing. I was even mislead by the book in which Naoki threw it and I had to force you to speak about the information which you yourself knew that this was not true. The truth is, that picture in the book was actually your uncle and you were never expected to take over the company."

"I was in a constant worry. I didn't know what to do. Then when you told me not to leave you, I was in constant panic. So I had to break up with you for the sake of my future, without actually knowing anything about you."

"Even though we resumed our relationship when we kissed on a beach, I was myself in constant worry and I felt that our relationship is under the knife after Yukito, who is Nagisa's mom, showed us the Mermaid Law which we didn't know and I was the one remaining."

"But then when I met your mom, Naoki, whom I succeeded, I learnt everything about you. You are her precious son, your ancestor built the Awami Shrine, your locket is very powerful and can protect us from harm. There was even another law in which I could had actually revealed to you if your last name is Hamasaki."

"Masahiro. I'm really sorry that I wasted our precious time together. I just didn't know what to do."

"You shouldn't blame yourself, Rina. I thought that we knew each other perfectly but in reality, we knew each other very little. As you said Rina, we have our secrets." Masahiro said.

"I know." Rina said, "But now everything has been told and revealed and now I completely know about you. I really want to tell you this..."

Rina then smiled at Masahiro.

"Masahiro. I love you. I have feelings for you ever since you saw me crying on the beach. I holded my confession and feelings for too long and now I am revealing it to you." Rina confessed and smiled.

"Rina. I love you too." Masahiro smiled.

"Masahiro."

Rina and Masahiro hugged each other and then they shared a kiss. As they kissed, Masahiro's Mermaid Of Love locket flashed in green color and the scenarios became green within their distance.

---

Next early morning:

Rina looked at the window for a moment, lost in thoughts.

"I wonder what Masahiro is doing right now." Rina thought.

"Rina. How things go?" Hanon asked which interrupted Rina.

"Oh Hanon. You came." Rina said.

"Yep. Just came now. I had an awesome breakfast with Nagisa and his parents before Nagisa dropped me."

"Nice."

"Where are the others by the way?"

"They are sleeping still."

"Hanon. You came!" A voice said happily. It was Luchia.

"Yep. I am here." Hanon said.

"How did it go well?"

"It was awesome. I had breakfast with them."

"Nice."

The three girls then sat down, recalling what happened yesterday.

"Yesterday we had the best night in our lives." Luchia said happily, "Going to Nagisa-kun's house."

"True. We have discovered so many things there." Hanon said happily.

"Yeah and we have even read his diary and learned something about his past and others." Rina smiled.

"Speaking about yesterday, how was your date with Hamasaki-san?"

Luchia and Hanon smiled at Rina, who blushed and gulped.

"Do I have to tell?" Rina gulped.

"Come on Rina. You do love Hamasaki-san, don't you? Or do you still have problems with Hamasaki-san?" Hanon asked.

"Problems? I have no problems with him at all!"

"Rina. It's only three of us." Luchia said, "No one else is listening."

"Think about what will happen if the others are listening just now?" Hanon asked.

Rina realized that Luchia and Hanon is right. If Nikora and others are there, it would feel that as she is saying it to the audience which she never wants to do. She knows that Luchia and Hanon are the only ones who knew Hamasaki-san when she first met him.

"You are right, Luchia and Hanon. I think it's better to tell you now rather than later." Rina smiled.

Luchia and Hanon cheered as Rina told them what happened yesterday.

5 minutes later:

"Whoa! You and Hamasaki-san played Tag!" Luchia said in awe.

"Mou. We never played tag with our boyfriends." Hanon sighed.

"Masahiro and I were breathing heavily in the bench and it was then I was able to tag him." Rina smiled.

All three of the girls laughed.

"And you confessed your love to him." Hanon said happily.

"Yes I confessed. So what? What's the problem with that?" Rina was a bit upset.

"No Rina. We have no problem at all. We are really happy that you were able to confess to him properly unlike what happened the last time." Luchia smiled.

"Thank you Luchia."

"Just make sure Hamasaki-san doesn't go out and flirt with other girls." Hanon said.

"I don't think Masahiro is a guy who would go out and flirt with others. He said he only has eyes on me. Unlike Kaito, who flirts with others."

"Hey!" Luchia whined in which Hanon and Rina laughed. Soon Luchia laughed as well.

"I think it's time we start cleaning now. The earlier, the better. We can relax and go somewhere." Hanon said.

Luchia and Rina agreed as they began to clean the house. Pretty soon, Kaito joined them.

1 hour later:

Everyone is busy working in the house except Luchia, Rina and Kaito, who are having breakfast, and Hanon, who is lying around.

"So Hanon. How was your time in Nagisa's house?" Nikora asked.

"It was really amazing and I even had breakfast with them." Hanon said happily.

"Oh Yeah. His mom told me about it. I also wanted to say yes but by that time, we drove away."

"I see."

"We should start visiting somewhere." Taki said.

"Like where?" Maki asked.

"The Awami Shrine?" Seira suggested.

"Kaito's house?" Luchia asked.

"Just to remind you. I already sold my house." Kaito said in which everyone laughed.

"Hotoshi's house?" Sara asked.

"But we know nothing about him other than he could be the son of a South Pacific Mermaid." Gaito said, "But we even don't know about his parents."

"Kazama-san's house?" Yuri suggested.

"Other than he could be the son of a Arctic Mermaid, we know nothing about him." Hippo said.

"What about you Rina?" Taki asked.

"I have no idea." Rina sighed.

Actually what happened was that Rina wrote on 3 small pieces of paper and gave it to Luchia, Hanon and Kaito without noticing. Luchia, Hanon and Kaito looked at it.

How about we go to Masahiro's gym this afternoon?

Excited, Luchia, Hanon and Kaito smiled at Rina and gave a thumbs up. Rina smiled back.

"This will be an interesting visit." Kaito whispered.

"Good thing we are invited." Luchia whispered back.

Then suddenly, there was a door knock. When Nikora opened the door, they were all a bit surprised.

Sarah was a bit ruffled up. Her pink hair was a bit messed up.

"Sarah. What happened to you?" Kaito gasped.

"I came to the palace late in the night yesterday." Sarah sighed, "I'm so hungry that I forget to wash myself before coming you. Luchia, can I go to your room?"

"Of course. Come with me." Luchia smiled.

Luchia then led Sarah to her room.

"Were we in that state like her?" Hanon asked.

"Probably once or twice." Rina said.

In Luchia's room:

Luchia was combing Sarah's hair.

"I'm sorry that I came in like this." Sarah sighed, "This never happened to me before."

"That's okay. Sometimes I was like this once or twice and Nikora scolds me for that." Luchia smiled.

Both Sarah and Luchia shared a little laugh.

"So Sarah. What did you do in Yukito's house?" Luchia asked.

"I looked at the whole book of Mermaid Laws." Sarah said, "I now know the other two laws which were shown to you and believe me Luchia. The Law No.34 is the best."

"It's also my favorite law as well."

Luchia jumped in joy.

"Uh Luchia?" Sarah asked.

"Yep." Luchia said.

"Well never mind."

"It's about Hippo and Azumi, right?"

Sarah gave a big sigh.

"I will be happy to tell you." Luchia smiled, "But a bit later at the right time."

"I understand."

So after Luchia finished combining Sarah's hair, they went back to join the others. Sarah joined Nikora and others for breakfast.

10 minutes later:

Everyone finished having breakfast and are now relaxing.

"Nikora. We still didn't know what you and others did on the sea." Luchia said.

"Well. What we did was..." Nikora was about to explain when suddenly they heard some crying voices.

"AH! WE ARE STUCK!"

"SOMEONE HELP US! MOMMY!"

"Oh God! That's Masahiro!" Rina said in panic.

"And Kazama!" Sarah gasped.

"Oh no! It seems both of them fell into our traps!" Luchia said, "Come on girls and Kaito."

So Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Sarah ran outside.

"Looks like you got interrupted again." Gaito said in which Nikora sighed.

Outside:

Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Sarah looked for Masahiro and Kazama. After a few seconds of searching them..

"Look! Look right there!" Kaito pointed out in which everyone looked.

Kazama and Masahiro are stuck in the net. The net is dangling and moving here and there.

"HELP! HELP!" Kazama cried.

"It's not life threatening but can someone get us down?" Masahiro called.

"Don't worry boys. I'll get you down." Rina called back as she rushed to try to untie the net.

"I'll help." Sarah said as she followed Rina.

"Well Luchia. It looks like you have to give the same explanation to them." Kaito said.

"I know." Luchia sighed.

10 minutes later (Back to Pearl Piari):

Nikora gave two glasses of water to Kazama and Masahiro, in which they drank it. Both of them are fine but Kazama is not happy.

"Masahiro. Are you okay?" Rina asked worriedly.

"No worries. I am fine." Masahiro said.

"Kazama?"

"I'm fine but WHAT DID WE DO TO DESERVE THIS?!" Kazama cried.

"You didn't do any wrong, Kazama-san." Hanon said.

"Eh?"

"You are not the only ones who fell into our traps." Kaito said, "Nagisa and Hotoshi also fell into the traps but separately."

"And may I know why you set up those traps?"

"Probably for the fact that there might be some thieves burgling in Pearl Piari?" Masahiro wondered.

"Wow. That's the correct prediction." Rina smiled, "But a little bit different."

"That's right. It all started with this." Luchia began to explain.

So Luchia explained this to Kazama and Masahiro: One night, they saw their kitchen room messed up and they had a music box with them. Fearing that the thief might steal the music box, they set up the traps. They then told them that Nagisa was the first victim.

"And you accuse him as a thief, did you?" Masahiro asked sternly.

"At first we thought so but when he told us that he just came here, we realized he wasn't." Hanon said.

"And were you able to hide the music box?" Kazama asked.

"Well...no." Luchia said meekly.

"Then I think it's now the time to remove those traps."

"Yeah. Besides, other people might fall into it." Masahiro said.

"No please. We have to keep those traps." Luchia pleaded.

"Yeah. What happens if we remove the traps but then the thief appears?" Hanon asked.

"Maybe you know now that the path you crossed is trap infested." Rina said.

"So I think it's better to go in a different path." Seira said.

"There are lots of paths to Pearl Piari. I went on a different path and I didn't get trapped." Sarah said.

"How do you guys do? It has been a while." Kaito smiled in which Masahiro and Kazama smiled back.

"So why not you put a sign 'Don't cross there.'?" Masahiro asked.

"Are you serious? If the thief sees that sign, then they will use other different strategies." Taki said.

"We are very sorry if you boys were hurt." Nikora said.

"Well boys. These traps are necessary to avoid being burglary." Gaito said.

"Even we didn't know why Luchia and others set up the trap in the first place. Then we heard what Luchia said to Hotoshi and Nagisa, we understood the reason." Sara said.

"Once again, we apologize for troubling you." Hippo said.

"It's okay. We understand." Masahiro smiled.

"Maki. Can you give us some pancakes and orange juices?" Kazama asked.

"Certainly." Maki said as he and Nikora went to the kitchen.

"I'm just heading to the toilet."

Kazama then went to the toilet.

"Good thing our parents go on a different route but what if they go on the trap infested route?" Masahiro asked.

"Ohhh!" Everyone suddenly realized.

"Well maybe we have to apologize continuously if that happens." Yuri said in which everyone nodded.

"Well. You should tell your parents about this." Rina said.

"I know." Masahiro said.

20 minutes later:

"Yum Yum." Kazama was happily munching down the pancakes.

"Nice." Masahiro smiled.

"Let's eat some more."

"No way! I am full!"

Everybody laughed.

"Well Kazama-san. Can you answer this question?" Seira asked.

"What is that?" Kazama asked.

"How did you and Hamasaki-san become best friends for life?"

"Oh!" Everyone then realized.

"Now that will be really interesting to hear from you." Hanon smiled.

"Boo!" Both boys whined.

"Okay. Let's decide on a coin toss." Kazama said as he took out a coin from his pocket, "Heads or Tails?'

"Heads." Maki said.

So Kazama then tossed the coin and the coin flipped and landed on his hand. With a smile on his face, he uncovered his hand only to see that it actually landed on heads. Kazama's face became white and he slowly gulped.

"It's heads, right?" Gaito smiled evily.

"Well..." Masahiro sighed, "It did."

Everybody cheered.

"Now it has been decided. You are going to tell us how you and Hamasaki-san became best friends." Nikora smiled.

"Now don't think of escaping again, eh?" Taki smiled evily.

"How about you tell us how did Kaito and Luchia-chan fell in love?" Masahiro asked.

"It's simple. She saw me surfing and we fell in love." Kaito said.

"Like that? Seriously?! Now that will be put as the joke of the year!" Kazama said.

Everyone laughed.

"It's a different story. I will tell you later." Rina whispered to Masahiro.

"I was also thinking the same thing of asking you." Masahiro whispered back.

"Childhood love, right?" Sarah whispered.

"Yep. I will tell you later how that occurred." Luchia whispered back.

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

"Please Please Pretty Please?" Yuri pleaded.

Kazama and Masahiro sighed for a moment.

"Alright. We will tell." Kazama said, "But first let me comb my beautiful indigo hair."

"You know this will be a long one, right?" Masahiro asked.

"No worries. We are ready for the long one." Sara smiled.

After combing his hair, Kazama took a deep breathe.

"Very well. It started 10 years ago..." Kazama began to explain.

Flashback (Ten years ago at elementary school):

Kazama sat on the swing as he sadly watched other children playing.

"I have no friends. What can I do?" Kazama said to himself and sighed, "Mummy said I will make lots of friends but here I am, being alone."

"You are lonely cause cause you are not expressing yourself to others that you are lonely." A voice said.

Kazama turned around and saw a boy with green spiky hair and dark green eyes. He is at the same age as Kazama (6 years old).

"Uh? What's your name?" Kazama asked curiously.

"Oops. I forgot to introduce myself." The boy said, "I am Masahiro Hamasaki."

"I see. I am Kazama Yoshiro."

Masahiro then sat on the swing next to Kazama.

"Why not you join them?" Masahiro asked.

"Well. I am a bit shy." Kazama meekly said.

"See. That's why you don't have friends. If you can't join them having fun, then they will never invite you to the friends circle."

"But what can I do?"

"What can you do? You see some of them discussing what to do next?"

"Yeah. I see someone."

"Well go there and ask that if you want to play. I can guarantee you that they will certainly allow you."

"Well..."

"Come on. I'll help you out."

So Masahiro started pushing Kazama towards a group of kids. The children are in an exciting mood.

"Who wants to play tag with me?" The girl asked.

"Me! Me!" The children raised their hands.

"Can I join too?" Kazama asked nervously.

"Of course you can." The girl smiled, "What's your name?"

"Kazama Yoshiro."

"Well then everyone. Give me a few seconds."

Kazama couldn't believe his eyes. It's the first time he is invited to play with someone and he made new friends. Kazama turned around to gratefully thank Masahiro but he isn't there. Before he could turn back, the girl touched his shoulder.

"Tag! You are in!" The girl said happily.

"Wah! Wait! Come back here!" Kazama said.

And so Kazama started chasing the girl and others. He is having a whole lot of fun. He never had so much fun before. While he was running around, he saw Masahiro, sitting on the swing, smiling at him. Kazama waved at him, thanking him. Masahiro waved back.

Present day:

"Aww." Everyone was so touched by Kazama's story.

"You helped Kazama from being a nervous boy to the boy he is today. I am so proud of you." Rina smiled as she hold Masahiro's hands.

"Well I felt pity for him when I saw him sitting on the swing along." Masahiro said.

"And so that's how you become best friends for life for a very long time." Luchia said happily.

"Well...Three months after that, we hadn't seen each other then." Kazama said.

Everyone became shock all off a sudden.

"Wait. So you haven't seen each other for 10 years?!" Sarah asked in shock.

"Not 10 years. 8 years." Masahiro said.

"But then what about the photos Kazama-san showed us at school?" Hanon gasped.

"The photos that I showed you at school are when we were 14-15 years old." Kazama said.

"Oh!" Everyone then realized.

"So then where were you able to see each other again?" Kaito asked.

"The previous school before we came to your school." Kazama said.

"But then how were you able to reunite with him?" Seira asked.

"This happened..."

Flashback (2 years ago at the rooftop of the school):

Kazama is relaxing nicely on the roof, seeing the clear skies but he is really in a depressing mode.

"Well looks like I am back to being lonely again. Except my childhood pal Hotoshi, I have no one else. I hadn't seen the green haired boy for 6.5 years already." Kazama said to himself and sighed.

Kazama then took out the photo in which it shows them with others when they were kids. Kazama sighed. This photo reminds him of Masahiro, who helped him get out of his loneliness. Kazama can't get him out of his head.

1 and 30 minutes later:

School has finished. Everyone is going outside, chatting about what to do next. Kazama is walking by alone. Suddenly he bumped into someone and they both fell down.

"Oops. I'm sorry." Kazama said.

"It's alright. Bumps do happen sometimes." The boy said.

But when Kazama looked at him, he couldn't believe his eyes! Green spiky hair and dark green eyes. Kazama can recognize him! Could it be...Could it be...?

"Uh. Why are you shocked?" The boy asked in a puzzle way.

"My God! It's you! Brother from another mother!" Kazama said and jumped happily, "Masahiro Hamasaki! Long time no see!"

"Wait. Who are you and how did you know my name?"

"I knew that you might forget about me after we last seen each other for a long time. This picture might remember you."

Kazama then showed the photo to Masahiro. After a few seconds of looking at it, Masahiro immediately recognized him and couldn't believe his own eyes.

"Hey! Are you Kazama Yoshiro? I think I remember now seeing you being alone in the swing." Masahiro said.

"Yes. It's me!" Kazama said happily.

"Kazama!"

"Masahiro!"

Both boys hugged each other. After 6 and a half years, they finally meet each other again.

"It has been a while." Masahiro smiled.

"It sure is." Kazama said happily, "Where have you been for a long time and what you had been doing all these times."

"Lots of things. Recently, I had turned 14 a month ago."

"Wow! I turned 14 two months ago!"

Both boys laughed.

"What have you been doing all these years?" Masahiro asked.

"Lots of things. Come on, I will tell you about it." Kazama said happily.

And then Kazama grabbed Masahiro's hand and they trotted off to somewhere.

Present day:

"Well at least you have a strong memory unlike Kaito. He forgot about Luchia once." Rina smiled.

"Hey! For the last time, I did it just...uh...uh." Kaito was about to say the mermaid princesses stuff but he realized he can't bring that issue in front of Kazama.

"Rina!" Luchia whined in which everyone laughed.

"Sorry Kazama-san and Hamasaki-san. Sometimes, Kaito and Rina get tangled up with each other over unnecessary issue." Hanon said.

"That's okay. These things can happen." Masahiro smiled.

"So now. What do you have to say about that?" Kazama asked, "Done? Satisfied?"

"Yep. We are satisfied." Gaito said.

"Good thing we were able to see you guys." Sara smiled.

"The reason we asked you is because we asked Hotoshi and Nagisa the same question." Seira said.

"And why did you ask them?" Masahiro asked.

"Well because..." Yuri wanted to say some mermaid stuffs but she couldn't.

"Because we are your friends now." Hippo said.

Kazama and Masahiro stood up.

"You are leaving now, boys?" Sarah asked.

"Yep. We have something to do right now." Kazama said.

"Well. Thanks for the morning visit." Nikora said.

"We hope to see you someday." Taki said.

"Rina. I will see you again then." Masahiro smiled.

"I will see you too." Rina smiled.

"Once again. Thanks for the pancakes." Kazama said.

"With pleasure." Maki said.

Masahiro and Kazama then left.

"Can't we do anything in the afternoon?" Seira whined.

"We will see." Sara said.

---

Afternoon (Outside):

Everyone was relaxing at Pearl Piari except Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito, who are able to sneak outside. They are going to the gym where Masahiro practices boxing.

"Thanks Rina for the invitation to the gym." Luchia said happily.

"It's alright. I don't want so many of them to come to his gym." Rina said.

"We understand. There will be lots of guys inside and they will all stare at us oddly if we bring Seira and others with us." Hanon said.

"It seems like you know where the gym is." Kaito said.

"Yeah." Rina said, "We are nearly there."

After a few minute walk, there they saw the gym.

"This is the gym where Masahiro trains." Rina smiled as she pointed out.

"Oh wow! Let's go meet Hamasaki-san then." Luchia said happily.

"Well Well Well. Who do we have here?" A voice smiled.

When Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito turned around, they could see two yakuzas. One female and one male.

"Oh no! It's them!" Luchia said in horror.

"The yakuzas!" Hanon shrieked in fright.

"Aren't those the ones who attacked you and Masahiro when you came out of the Awami Shrine?" Kaito asked.

"Nope. They are completely different." Rina said before turning at the yakuzas, "What do you want?!"

"Yeah. You have no business to be here!"

"Of course we have." The female yakuza smiled, "Why not you take of your clothes?"

"And once we are satisfied by touching your bodies, we will let you go." The male yakuza said.

Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito are shocked and stared at them in horror. They couldn't believe what the yakuzas just said.

"Run!" Luchia cried in fright.

"They are really dangerous." Hanon also cried in fright.

The four of them tried to run to the gym but the female yakuza used her rope and threw them at their feet. The four of them fell down on the tree which is beside the gym.

"Ah! We are trapped!" Rina said.

"Gah! I can't move." Kaito tried to get himself and others free but failed.

The male and female yakuza slowly approached them.

"Looks like you leave us no choice but to do it by force." The female yakuza said.

"Force?!" Luchia shrieked in horror.

"Don't do it." Hanon pleaded, "If you do it, the police will see you and throw you to jail."

"Well the police is not here now. So we will do it!" The male yakuza smiled evily.

"Grr.." Kaito growled.

"This is not good." Rina gulped.

But before the yakuzas could do anything, they saw an object slowly descending and then staring at them. It's the Mermaid Of Love locket, with a string attached to it.

"What is this?" The male yakuza was puzzled.

"Oh my! Such a beautiful locket someone is giving it to me." The female yakuza said happily, "It's very gorgeous."

But before the female yakuza could touch the locket...

FLASH!

The locket angrily flashed the green color once. A second later, Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito saw that the two yakuzas are covering their eyes and screaming in your pain.

"AHHH! MY EYES! MY EYES!" The male yakuza scramed in pain.

"I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING!" The female yakuza scramed in pain as well.

The two of them began to run away bumping into several objects and people because they are blinded.

"Ha! Serves you right!" Luchia shouted.

"Go and get an eye surgery!" Hanon also shouted.

Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito then untied themselves and smiled at the Mermaid of Love locket.

"Well thank you..." Rina was about to thank the locket but then they saw the locket got pulled up and went into the window of the gym.

"...Very much." Kaito sweatdropped in which the four of them laughed.

"Hamasaki-san saved us!" Luchia said happily, "He must attached the string to the locket."

"So what are we waiting for? Let's go to the gym." Hanon said happily.

The four of them went straight to the gym.

---

Inside the gym:

Masahiro's coach is having a nice cup of tea while the others are training. The coach then packed his bag and was about to leave when suddenly he saw Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito inside.

"Who are you and what do you want?" The coach asked.

"We are Hamasaki-san's friends." Luchia said happily before introducing herself, "I am Luchia Nanami."

"Hanon Hosho." Hanon introducing herself

"Rina Toin." Rina introducing herself

"Kaito Domoto." Kaito introducing himself.

"Oh I see." The coach smiled, "I am Masahiro's coach then."

"Oh. How long have you been training him?" Rina smiled.

"I have been training him for 2 years. He is really a nice guy."

"Where is he now?" Luchia asked.

"Upstairs in the locker room. His locker room number is 26."

"Can we go and see him now?" Hanon asked.

"Yep you can. I am about to leave now after having a nice cup of tea."

"Well thank you for your time, coach-san. It's great to meet you." Kaito said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too."

And with a smile on his face, the coach left. Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito then went upstairs and saw many different doors. Luckily, they have been numbered.

"Hmm. Let's see. The odd number are on the left side while the even numbers are on the right side." Kaito said.

"So that means Masahiro's locker room is on the right side." Rina said.

"So let's go then. We have plenty to thank him for." Luchia said happily.

"No.26. Just to be sure." Hanon said in which the three of them nodded.

So all four of them began to search for Masahiro's locker room on the right side. After walking past locker room number 2, 4, 6, 8...20 and 24.

"Yep. Here it is. Locker room number 26." Rina smiled.

"The door is open." Luchia said.

"But then why did he leave the door open?" Kaito asked.

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

So they tip-toed their way near Masahiro's locker room door and took a peep look at it. They could see Masahiro packing the stuffs in the bag. He wore his jeans but he is still wearing the singlet.

"Look. He is packing his gym bag." Luchia said slowly, "He is about to leave now."

"He is putting the Mermaid of Love locket in his pocket." Hanon said.

Then they saw Masahiro zipped his bag and then...opened his singlet. Luchia and Hanon are red in their face upon seeing Masahiro's hot body and giggled. Rina blushed a little bit but smiled and Kaito was a bit jealous. Rina then immediately realized what Luchia and Hanon will be doing right now.

"Hey! Don't tell me that you are gonna..." Rina gasped but by then Luchia and Hanon slowly went behind Masahiro, who is still shirtless and desperately trying to find out where his t-shirt is.

"Well looks like I am not the only one who shows off." Kaito smiled as he and Rina followed Luchia and Hanon.

All four of them are now behind Masahiro. Masahiro finally found the shirt in his gym back and was about to put it on when...

"Wow Hamasaki-san. You look so hot when being shirtless." Luchia said happily.

Masahiro immediately realized that voice and slowly turned around. When he saw Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Kaito smiling at him, he jumped in fright and his face began to turn red.

"What...How...When?" Masahiro tried to ask but he is so embarrassed that he couldn't ask properly.

"Yep. It's us." Hanon said happily, "I bet Kaito is jealous right now that you are hotter than him."

"Hey!" Kaito whined in which everyone laughed.

"Masahiro. It's okay. It's just us." Rina smiled as she patted on Masahiro's head.

5 minutes later:

Rina is massaging Masahiro's hair while the others sat down.

"You seriously did not really have to do that." Masahiro said.

"We are really sorry if you were a bit frightened." Hanon apologized.

"Hey Masahiro. Luchia sees me shirtless a couple of times." Kaito said.

"Hey! You yourself brought me to those embarrassing situations." Luchia whined in which everyone laughed.

"We came to the gym just to see how you are doing." Rina smiled.

"I see. Thanks for dropping by." Masahiro smiled as he put his shirt on.

There was silence for a moment.

"Hamasaki-san. Thank you so much for saving us." Hanon said happily.

"Oh yeah. I saw you guys down there. Your welcome." Masahiro said.

"But how you able to do that?" Kaito asked.

"Simple. I heard your crying voices from the locker room and saw the two yakuzas chasing you guys. Then I grabbed my locket and tied the string with it and lowered the locket down with the string."

"And then they saw it and a second later, they were covering their eyes and screamed in pain." Rina smiled.

"Yeah. I heard their crying voices."

"And now we are here, seeing you being shirtless." Luchia said happily.

Masahiro blushed and everyone laughed.

"So Rina. How did Kaito and Luchia fell in love?" Masahiro asked.

"Oh!" Everyone then realized.

"Well now the five of us are here. So it's safe to tell you now." Rina smiled.

"Rina. Let me tell." Luchia said.

"Okay. Go ahead."

"Oh No!" Hanon shrieked in horror.

"What's wrong, Hanon?"

"I also wanted to tell Nagisa about how Kaito and you fell in love but in the midst of all the fun we had yesterday, I forgot to tell him."

"Well you can at least talk to him on the phone. There you can tell him." Kaito said.

"Okay."

"It all started with this." Luchia said.

She began to explain it to Masahiro.

"Seven years ago, I was little at that time. One night, I saw fireworks and a ship. When I started to sing, Kaito, who was also on the ship, saw me on the sea. He wondered what I was doing on the sea and when I showed him my fins, he realized that I am the mermaid."

"But then the big wave that shipwrecked the cruise ship and killed both of Kaito's foster parents. Luckily, I was able to rescue Kaito and brought him to the shores. However, he still didn't wake up so I had to use my pearl to save him. It was then he woke up."

"But then were you able to get your pearl back?" Masahiro asked.

"Yep. Seven years later."

"I see. Childhood love."

"Yep. It really is." Kaito smiled, "But at that time, I didn't know that Luchia was a mermaid so I had a bit of a hard time believing that Luchia could be the same person."

"It was only during our battle with Gaito that Kaito realized it." Rina smiled.

"How do you like it? Isn't it touching?" Hanon asked.

"Yeah. It sure is." Masahiro said, "Luchia-chan, you really have a strong memory remembering Kaito, whom you saved and looked around for him."

"Why thank you, Hamasaki-san." Luchia smiled, "Oh. By the way, I have something else to say."

"I see. What could that be?"

"One month later after that incident, me and Nikora were swimming around when suddenly, the sea became green. We were a bit surprised so we swam up to see how it became green. Then we saw the even the sky became green. It was really a beautiful green night sky."

Hanon, Rina, Kaito and Masahiro are a bit shocked.

"Wait. So you and Nikora were the first one to see the green night sky?!" Kaito gasped.

"Yep. It was so beautiful that I really wanted to see it again." Luchia smiled.

"Well you do know now how did the green night sky happen." Rina smiled, "And you did see it when we were battling against the water demon with horns."

"True. Hamasaki-san, we are really glad that we were able to meet you."

"Well. I can't say anything about that." Masahiro smiled.

"Mou. Not fair. Little Luchia got to see the green night sky first." Hanon whined in which everyone laughed.

"Masahiro. Want to have lunch with us in a restaurant?" Rina smiled.

"Really? I can come?" Masahiro asked.

"Of course you can. We were also thinking about it after seeing you in the gym." Kaito said.

"Can I invite Nagisa as well?" Hanon asked in excitement.

"Sure you can." Luchia smiled.

"Hooray! Maybe you can tell the same thing to Nagisa."

"Okay then. I'm joining you guys then." Masahiro smiled.

So all five of them exited the gym. While they are walking to a restaurant, they met Nagisa and they invited him to join them in which Nagisa agreed. There in the restaurant, Luchia told the same thing to Nagisa about how she and Kaito fell in love in which Nagisa is impressed.

---

Evening:

"So you guys had lunch with Masahiro and Nagisa, didn't you?" Nikora asked.

"Yep. It was really fun." Luchia said happily.

"Hope you didn't eat too much and get yourself fat." Taki said in which everyone roared in laughter.

"But then what did you do in the afternoon?" Maki asked.

"We went to the gym where Masahiro trains." Rina said.

"Then why didn't you take me there?" Seira asked.

"Because gym is not a perfect place for you to be around." Kaito said.

"Kaito is right. Since Masahiro is a boxer, you will see a lot of guys hitting each other in their faces and you will really not like it." Sara said.

"Oh. What about the true fact about how did Kaito and Luchia fell in love?" Sarah asked.

"Don't worry. Luchia told Nagisa and Hamasaki-san about it and they now understand." Hanon said.

"But what about Hotoshi and Kazama-san?" Yuri asked.

"It's better if we tell them about it later." Hippo said, "Even though Hotoshi and Kazama could be the son of the mermaid from South Pacific Ocean and Arctic Ocean respectively, it cannot be confirmed untill we meet their parents."

Everyone agreed with Hippo. Suddenly there was a door knock. Nikora went to open the door. It is Saito, Azumi and Suzuka.

"Hooray! You are here again!" Kaito said happily.

"Hug us!" Gaito said happily.

And so Kaito and Gaito jumped to hug Saito but this time, Saito moved out and both of them landed on the ground. Everyone laughed at it.

"So Sarah. Did you see the whole book?" Azumi asked.

"Yep and my favorite law is No.34." Sarah smiled.

"It's my favorite law as well." Luchia said happily.

"Mine as well." Suzuka said happily.

"So. What did you come here for?" Maki asked.

Saito, Azumi and Suzuka gave a big smile on their face.

"Well we are going to someone's house again." Saito said.

"Not just a house. Mansion." Azumi winked.

"We are going to visit Masahiro's mansion." Suzuka said happily.

Everyone is shocked and in awe.

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

"...to go to Masahiro's mansion?" Taki asked in shock.

When Saito, Azumi and Suzuka nodded, everyone cheered and jumped in joy.

"OMG! Mansion!" Luchia said happily.

"This is awesome! I bet we are going to see so many rooms and things." Hanon said happily.

"A mansion visit will be really awesome." Kaito said.

"True. I bet Masahiro might have some new stuffs which Nagisa might not have." Gaito said.

"I heard that some mansions might have a swimming pool. Could this be true?" Sarah asked.

"Yep. That's true. Some mansions do have a swimming pool." Maki said.

"So if Masahiro's mansion does have a swimming pool, can we swim on it?" Seira asked.

"Maybe we can." Taki said.

"Now this visit will be even more exciting." Yuri said happily.

"It sure is. But I wonder how Naoki and her family are able to live in the mansion." Nikora wondered.

"Have you went to Masahiro's mansion before?" Maki asked.

"Not really. This is our first time visiting them." Saito said.

"Then we have a problem." Sara said, "Did anyone ask Masahiro about his address?"

Everyone fell down in anime-style upon hearing that.

"Rina!" Everyone said sternly.

"I'm sorry everyone. I should have asked Masahiro about his address." Rina said sadly as she put her head down.

"Hey no worries. We will use this." Hippo smiled as he showed everyone the Pearl Radar, "We can use this to locate the pearl of the former mermaid princess who now holds the extra green pearl, Naoki. This will give us the route to where the Hamasaki family lives."

"Oh!" Everyone then realized that it worked the last time when they were going to Nagisa's house.

"Well. You should have taken the address before in that case if you are planning for a surprise visit." Gaito said.

"Thank God Hippo. I thought that we might never visit his mansion." Rina cried.

"Anything for the princess." Hippo smiled.

"Azumi, Saito and Suzuka. Thank you so much for organizing a surprise visit to Masahiro's mansion. I wish I could have gone there before."

"Don't worry Rina. You are his girlfriend after all." Azumi smiled.

"So let's get ready then." Sarah smiled.

"YEAH!" Everybody cheered.

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

20 minutes later:

Everyone got on to the SUV with Hippo again changing into his penguin form to guide Saito using his Pearl Radar. Saito started the engine and off they go to Masahiro's mansion.

Everybody is chatting about their excitement about going to Masahiro's mansion while Hippo is guiding Saito on the way to the mansion. Azumi and Suzuka looked back.

"Are you guys excited?" Azumi asked.

"Of course I'm excited." Rina said happily, "Cause we are going to Masahiro's mansion."

"I wonder what Hamasaki-san's room will look like." Luchia said.

"I bet there's gonna be plenty of stuffs since we are going to the mansion." Kaito said.

"Nagisa and his parents must have visited the mansion many times." Hanon said.

"Kazama-san must also have visited his mansion as well." Seira said.

"Do you think Hamasaki-san might be in the mansion?" Yuri asked.

"It would be good if he is not here. We can get to see what he does on the mansion and his parents's room." Sarah smiled.

"And also his photos." Sara said.

"Him and with other's photo albums." Maki smiled.

"I think some photos will be the same when it comes to with other's album." Gaito said.

"I really wonder what it's like to be in the mansion." Nikora wondered.

"Who knows? There is only one way to find out." Taki said.

"Are we there yet, daddy?" Suzuka asked.

"Nope. Not yet." Saito said, "How long Hippo?"

"A bit further." Hippo said.

However much to everyone's surprise, they are going up.

"Are we going to Masahiro's mansion or Nagisa's house again?" Rina asked.

"Don't know Rina. I'm just following The Pearl Radar." Hippo said.

"Maybe they live close by." Luchia said.

"Now we are going pass these houses and follow straight." Hanon said.

"I just wish I could have asked Masahiro about his address." Rina sadly said.

"Hey don't worry Rina. We will know his address once we reach there." Nikora said.

"How about we call Naoki?" Taki asked.

"No! We don't wanna spoil our surprise visit to the mansion." Azumi said.

"Besides. We want to see Masahiro's room if he is not here." Suzuka said.

"Azumi and Suzuka are right. Maybe he and Nagisa must had hatched some plans against us in the mansion." Gaito said.

"Gaito. Why are you so worried about the boys hatching some plans?" Sara asked.

"Because Kazama and Hotoshi were dead serious about their Operation Rescue. It might had inspired Masahiro and Nagisa do to the same thing should their best friends for life fail."

"Well Gaito. That's past." Sarah said.

"Hippo-sama. How long?" Yuri asked.

"I think we are close. I think everyone should get ready now." Hippo said.

"Wait. So that means..." Maki gasped.

"Saito. Stop!"

Soon Saito stopped. Everyone got out of the car and looked at Hippo, who is checking out the Pearl Radar. The green pearl in the radar is blinking in the middle.

"Well. It seems like this is the mansion where the Hamasaki family lives." Hippo smiled.

"OH MY GOD!" Everyone said in awe which frighten Hippo a little bit.

They stared the mansion in awe because The mansion is quiet huge. There are two huge gardens on each side of the mansion. It even has a swimming pool, which they don't see it because it has been covered.

"My God! What a mansion." Luchia said in awe.

"What a beautiful mansion! It even has gardens." Hanon said happily.

"Seriously. It almost look like the Mermaid Princess's Palace." Kaito was mouth opened.

"Palace and Mansion are quite different." Gaito said.

"What could that be?" Seira asked as she pointed at the covered one.

"I don't know but we will ask them about it." Sara said.

"Well. Who's going to ring the bell?" Sarah asked.

"Let me have the honor to do so." Rina said happily as she rang the bell.

---

"Hmm. Who could arrive at that time?" The butler wondered as he walked to open the door.

But little did he know what await him. When he opened the door...

"Oh Me. Oh My." The butler gasped.

"KONICHIWA!" Everyone greeted him cheerfully.

"Surprised?" Nikora asked.

"Definately. It's really good to see you again after a while." The butler smiled.

"Who came?" A voice asked.

"Sir. Princesses and their friends are here."

"What?! Give me a sec."

A second later, Shizuro appeared running. Upon seeing them, he was filled with surprise.

"Yo." Shizuro smiled.

"KONICHIWA!" Everyone greeted him cheerfully.

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

"Looks like you really caught us by surprise." Shizuro laughed.

"We are sorry if we interrupted you into doing something." Azumi apologized.

"Good thing you came at the time when we are doing nothing." The butler said.

"Yep. We were pretty bored wondering what to do next." Shizuro said.

Everyone smiled at him.

"Butler, Shizuro. It's reallt great to see you again after some time." Rina smiled.

"It's good to see you as well." Shizuro smiled, "My wife also told me that you met them under the sea."

"We also met Yukito and Azumi as well." Hanon said happily.

"We were so overjoyed to see them." Luchia said happily.

"Your son told Rina that you were in a business trip." Kaito said in which Shizuro nodded.

"Yep and my wife went to the kingdom as you know by now." Shizuro said.

"And I took care of young sir." The butler said in which everybody smiled.

"I'm the English Teacher. It's really good to meet you." Sarah smiled, "You must be Masahiro's father."

"Sure I am." Shizuro smiled, "My wife told me that you are one of the mermaid from Luchia's kingdom."

Sarah nodded with a smile.

"So that means Luchia has the advantage. Sounds fishy." The butler said in which everyone laughed.

"Nope not really. Sarah is doing what the other teachers are doing." Nikora said.

"Yep and they might suspect Sarah if they find out that Luchia is getting all the good marks." Taki said.

"And I'm the new student in Nagisa's class." Seira said happily.

"Nice. Did you take a tour around the school?" The butler asked.

"Yep. I did."

"Say. What did you do outside?" Maki asked.

"Long but short story." Shizuro joked in which everyone laughed.

"Where is your wife by the way?" Sara asked.

"And what's that covered?" Yuri asked as she pointed at the covered swimming pool.

Suddenly there was a voice.

"Shizuro. Who came?" Naoki called.

"Luchia and her friends came." Shizuro called back, "Saito and his family are also here."

"Holy Moly! Give me a minute then."

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

"I have no idea." The butler said.

Naoki soon came. Upon seeing them, she is very surprised.

"Whoa." Naoki is in awe.

"Naoki. How are you?" Rina smiled.

"I'm fine. It's really good to see you all. But how did you know that this is our mansion?"

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

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

"Wow. What a new form of GPS." Shizuro appalued in which everyone chuckled.

"But I don't think it's a GPS, sir. If it can only track down the pearls, how can they locate other places where we are not there?" The butler asked in which everyone nodded.

"Yep. True enough." Naoki smiled.

"We planned for a surprise visit to your mansion." Saito said.

"Well you sure got us by surprise."

"If you were doing anything, then we are sorry for interrupting you." Azumi apologized.

"That's okay. I was just relaxing on my bed."

"Is your son here?" Suzuka asked excitingly.

"Unfortunately not. We didn't know that you are coming today so he is outside."

"I can give him a call if you want." Shizuro smiled.

"Please don't. It will be a really good time to explore your mansion and his room." Rina smiled.

"Yeah and we can look at some of his private stuffs when he is not around." Kaito said evily.

"Wow. You guys are really cunning." The butler said in which everyone laughed.

"Well. It's our first visit to the mansion so we are a bit nervous." Sarah said.

"Don't worry. You will have a pleasure time here."

"It looks like you have covered something here. What could that be?" Yuri asked as she pointed at the covered swimming pool.

"Well then. Here it is." Naoki smiled as she pressed the button that is on the other side of the bell.

Slowly, in front of their eyes, the swimming pool has been uncovered. When they saw the swimming pool, everyone was excited.

"Oh wow! It's a swimming pool!" Luchia said happily.

"A swimming pool! a swimming pool!" Seira was excited.

"Let's jump right now." Hanon couldn't wait anymore.

"Wait for me!" Suzuka was excited as well.

So Luchia, Hanon, Seira and Suzuka are about to jump on the swimming pool but Nikora grabbed Luchia and Hanon while Taki grabbed Seira and Suzuka.

"Not now. Later." Nikora said.

"But why? No one is here except us." Luchia whined.

"True. We could have lots of fun im the swimming pool if we have known his mansion before." Hanon cried.

"Does your son swim here?" Rina asked.

"Yep. Along with his best friend." Naoki smiled.

"If we swim now, we will end up wasting our time here and not exploring the mansion and Masahiro's room which you so desire." Taki said.

"Taki's right. Who knows when Masahiro wll come." Azumi said.

"Mommy's right. If Masahiro appears when we are exploring his room, then he might block us from seeing some of his stuffs." Suzuka said.

"True. We can swim later if we come again." Seira said.

Everyone agreed as they looked at the swimming pool.

"Well everyone. You had been standing for too long. Why not you come in?" Shizuro asked.

"Sure. Thanks." Saito said.

So then everyone left the swimming pool with the butler pressing the button again to cover the swimming pool. By the time everyone stepped into the mansion, everyone was in awe.

"Oh Wow. This mansion feels like I am in my own kingdom." Rina smiled.

"What a really big latest plasma T.V you have." Luchia said happily.

"What big lights you have." Hanon said happily.

"There is another switch in which the lights can be on in different color." Naoki said.

"Really? Can we see it?" Saito asked.

Naoki switched off the lights and then turned on the green switch. All the lights are in green color. Everyone was awe struck.

"OMG! The lights are in green." Rina was so happy.

"Incredible. This is really a unique mansion we are seeing." Nikora smiled.

"Really thanks but better now turn on the lights back to its original color." Maki said.

Naoki agreed as she switched off the lights and then turned on the original switch. All the lights are in original color.

"Look! There is even a water foundation here." Seira was in awe as she rushed to see the water foundation. Yuri and Suzuka followed her.

"I have never seen a mansion in my life. Now within a few minutes, I am already in awe." Yuri said.

"This mansion is really awesome." Suzuka said happily.

"Why. Thank you." Naoki smiled.

"Does Nagisa also come here?" Hanon asked in excitement.

"Of course he does." Shizuro smiled.

"Wow. This is going to be one heck of an awesome visit." Saito said.

"Yeah indeed. Seriously, I had never seen some of the things before." Kaito said.

"True indeed. I bet this mansion can fit more than 30 people." Gaito said in which everybody laughed.

"I think Masahiro's room will be even bigger than before." Sara said.

"It's a good thing we came here." Hippo said.

"You have been standing for some time. Why not you sit down?" The butler asked.

"True. My feet hurts." Taki whined in which everybody laughed.

"Well it seems like this almost looks like a palace but with more stuffs included." Sarah said.

Everyone then sat on the nice big sofas and relaxed for a while.

"So. How was your day yesterday?" Naoki asked.

"It was really great." Azumi said happily.

"Really? What did you do?"

"We visited Nagisa's house." Hippo smiled.

"Whoa! What did you do there?" Shizuro asked.

"We explored so many things in there yesterday." Hanon said happily.

"The first thing was that Taoki saved us indirectly by catching that swordfish which was bugging us." Luchia said happily.

"Wow. Pure luck has increased recently." Shizuro joked in which everyone laughed.

"And then we went to the fashion design room where Yukito makes such beautiful clothes in high quality." Hanon said happily.

"We knew about that long time ago. She is all about fashion and love." Naoki smiled.

"What a coincidence, I am too."

"Then we went upstairs and played a game name Re-Volt." Kaito said.

"And you lost." Gaito smirked.

"I was leading untill I crashed into the lamp post!"

Everybody laughed.

"Then we visited Nagisa's parents room." Nikora said.

"And we are really looking forward to seeing your room." Taki smiled.

"Naoki. Have you heard of the The Legendary Tree?" Rina asked.

"Why yes. The tree where Kandou found the Sea Godness's staff." Naoki smiled.

"Nice."

"And then we visited Nagisa's room." Seira said happily.

Naoki, Shizuro and the butler became curious.

"So what did you do there in Nagisa's room?" The butler asked.

"Well we discovered many things in his room." Suzuka said happily, "A single medium size bed, a wardorbe, a very large aqua table, a middle size cupboard, an open air balcony outside, a shelf, a door in which leads to Nagisa's toilet, a big picture on the aqua wall with couple of photos and finally, the Mermaid Flute and the alarm system hanging on the wall."

"There we discovered what he wears, what stuffed toys did he like, the picture frames and his drawings, a telescope and so many other things." Saito said.

"Just to say in short, Nagisa's room is Epic Awesomeness!" Hanon said happily.

"Well looks like Masahiro's room will be even more awesome." Rina said evily.

"Hey!"

Everybody laughed.

"And then we saw his diary." Azumi said.

"You saw his diary?!" Naoki gasped.

"Well we thought we wanted to have a look at it since Nagisa was not around at that time." Sarah smiled.

"Wow. You really are cunning people indeed." The butler said in which everyone giggled, "Looking into someone's diary."

"Well it was a good thing that Nagisa was not around." Shizuro said, "Otherwise, you guys would have been in big trouble."

Everyone nodded.

"Then we watched two movies partly and looked at the photo albums." Sara said.

"Oh speaking about that, there's a law which..." Naoki was about to say the law but Rina interrupted.

"We know that now and we were so depressed." Rina said.

"We saw a picture of Nagisa and his parents having water splash and we were shocked that Yukito didn't change." Hanon said.

"It was then that Yukito showed us the law and we were all crying." Luchia said.

"And the blame games started again." Hippo said.

"But at least you know it now." Shizuro said.

Everyone nodded and smiled.

"And then Nagisa came and we had dinner." Hanon said happily, "I stayed with them and I had breakfast with them this morning and I came back to Pearl Piari."

"Ah. So overall, you had a wonderful trip to Nagisa's house." The butler said.

"I stayed also to see the whole book of Mermaid Laws and I left after doing so." Sarah said.

"Good for you." Naoki smiled.

They looked at the big latest plasma T.V and then they looked at the two picture frames pinned on the left and right side on the wall. The left picture frame shows Azumi, Yukito and Naoki with their respective husbands when they were teens with The Mermaid Flute and The Mermaid of Love locket. This was the same picture that Luchia and others saw it in Nagisa's house.

"This was the same picture that we saw it yesterday." Azumi smiled.

"I see." Naoki smiled back.

The right side of the picture frame shows Naoki herself sitting in the princess's seat. Rina got a bit excited.

"You took it with the Ocean Proof Camera, right?" Rina asked in excitement.

"Yep I sure did. How is it?" Naoki asked.

"I really like it. It seems as if you are right now the mermaid princess."

"No! Not fair! Why can't we have a picture frame like that?" Hanon whined in which everybody laughed.

Then they looked at the art portrait of a man. It's none other than Tajiro Hamasaki rowing a boat with a green mermaid princess.

"I think this is Tajiro Hamasaki, isn't it?" Sara asked.

Naoki and Shizuro nodded with a smile.

"The man who built the Awami Shrine." Gaito said.

"I remember that Me and Masahiro met him when we were went to the Awami Shrine to get the blessing." Rina smiled.

"But why did he do that?" Suzuka asked.

"He built the Awami Shrine because this green mermaid princess safed him." Naoki smiled, "Although he hadn't seen her a few days or months after they met, he built that shrine to shows his love for her."

"He is even handsome as well?" Kaito whined in which everybody laughed.

"Jeez Kaito. If there is a single person like that, you are always jealous." Luchia said in which Kaito sighed.

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

"I think your late father drew it, I presume?" Sarah asked.

"Nope. My late grandfather painted it and my late father fixed it." Shizuro said.

"I see." Maki said.

"I heard there is another law which could have benefited Rina-san?" Hippo asked.

"Why yes. Mermaids are free to reveal their true form to anyone whose last name is Hamasaki. They will not turn into bubbles." Shizuro said.

"If only I had known that before." Rina sighed.

"I think the art is so good that you might win the first prize in art competition!" Yuri said happily.

"And in really good details." Saito said.

"How much will it cost?" Azumi asked.

"Not sure but probably 2-3 billion yen." Naoki smiled.

"Not surprise this time. It's a masterpiece." Suzuka said happily

"Can we have it for free?" Seira asked.

"Give the money then." Shizuro said.

"Well..."

Everybody laughed as they looked at the art for a moment.

"I was wondering about one thing." Rina said, "Naoki, what does Masahiro means?"

"Wise." Naoki smiled.

"Whoa." Everyone is in awe.

"Well that means Masahiro is very wise about love. He said that he does have eyes on me." Rina smiled, "Unlike Kaito who sometimes cheats on Luchia."

"Hey!" Kaito whined and started crying.

"Rina! Kaito doesn't cheat." Luchia whined.

"I was just only joking." Rina sighed, "Sorry. Luchia and Kaito sometimes takes things seriously."

"That's okay. People are sometimes like that." The butler said in which everyone nodded.

"What about Hamasaki meaning?" Seira asked.

"Seashore cape." Shizuro said.

"Oh wow! No wonder Hamasaki-san always enjoy the green scenario on the beach." Hanon said happily.

"Not always on the beach." Sara said.

"But why did you ask us about it?" The butler asked.

"Well it's because yesterday we asked what Shirai means." Nikora said.

"And it was this answer which frightened us a little bit." Taki said, "Shirai also means Shark-Related."

"You know Setsuki?" Sarah asked.

"Why yes. The shark with a very complex personality who also knows us very well." Naoki smiled, "He was also the part-time messenger when Yukito was the ruler."

"Yep and we read the diary, we realize how serious Nagisa was about throwing me into the sharks." Hippo gulped.

"Not only you. Us as well." Yuri cried.

"So it seems like we have to be very careful when we meet the shark." Saito said.

"What about Masahiro? Does he have some sea animal friends?" Gaito asked.

"Why yes. Luna." Naoki said.

"The whale who was your messenger when you were the mermaid princess." Rina smiled.

"And why you didn't tell us about him?" Maki asked sternly.

"Well..."

Everyone laughed.

"I saw Luna but I would love to see Setsuki one day." Azumi said.

"And get eaten by him?!" Suzuka asked in which everyone laughed.

Everyone then looked at the T.V for a moment.

"I feel refresh now so let's go and explore your mansion." Hanon said happily.

"I can't wait to see Masahiro's room." Rina was excited.

"You don't need to show us so many rooms." Nikora said, "Just your room, butler's room, what Masahiro does and Masahiro's room."

Naoki and Shizuro agreed as they all got up from the sofas and started exploring the mansion. First they went to Shizuro's and Naoki's room. When they went there, the visitors are totally amazed by it.

The room is very huge. It has a huge bed, a big wardrobe with plenty of clothes in it, a huge drawer where there are several trophies and picture frames at top of it, a shelf where two books are there in two different rows though there are 10 rows, basic items like powder, lipsticks, etc with a mirror. There is also a huge window. Two black belts are also pinned on the window.

But there is one huge picture in which Shizuro and Naoki, in their green wedding dresses, happily holding each other's hands. They are wearing their Mermaid of Love locket and the green shell locket respectively. A clear sky and many people clapping and cheering can be seen on the picture as well. When they saw the picture, everyone was mouth opened.

"OMG! Their marriage!" Luchia said in excitement in which Naoki and Shizuro smiled.

"Wow! Both of you look beautiful." Rina smiled.

"Is there a time travel right now? I really want to go to your marriage." Seira said happily.

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

"Yep." Naoki smiled, "You can see that most people in the picture frame are the people from my kingdom."

"I am really glad you did so. I will also invite my people when me and Masahiro get married." Rina smiled

"I see Yukito and Taoki! This is so awesome!" Hanon jumped happily.

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

"Yep. We lived here when we got married." Shizuro said.

"What a picture frame." Kaito was in awe.

"But what about the butler?" Gaito asked.

"I came after they got married." The butler said.

"Did Aqua Regina appear?" Nikora asked.

"Of course she came to bless us." Naoki said.

"This is even a bigger picture frame than I saw in Nagisa's house." Sarah said.

"Is it there all this time?" Sara asked.

"Yep." Shizuro said.

"Wow! This frame never gets old." Hippo said.

"But will there be space if there is a photo of your son and Rina getting married?" Yuri asked.

"That's what we are trying to figure it out." Shizuro said.

"Well this mansion is really big so there should be plenty of space." Saito said.

"We should have asked Nagisa's parents the same thing." Azumi said.

"Hey. What are those things?" Suzuka asked as she pointed at the top of the drawer.

Everyone looked at it and are amazed to see so many trophies and picture frames. When Rina went to look at it, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"My God. What Masahiro told me is true." Rina gasped, "3 time extreme motorcycling champion and 2 times professional motorcycle racing world champion."

"2 black belts as well on the wall." Kaito gasped.

"Well one is karate and one is judo." The butler said.

"What are you people?" Gaito gulped.

"It seems that you Hamasaki family are a martial arts family." Sarah said.

"Martial arts for self defense." Shizuro said.

"Oh wow! I bet no criminals could break into your mansion cause if they do, they will end up in the hospital." Luchia said in which everyone laughed.

"But how you were able to do all three at the same time?" Rina asked.

"I did karate and extreme motorcycling when I was a teen." Shizuro said, "And then I did professional motorcycling when I got married."

"But are you still doing it now?"

"Nah. I left it after 4 years. I just want to spend sometime with my family."

"That's nice of you." Sara smiled.

"But what about your son?" Hanon asked, "We know that he does boxing and extreme motorcycling but what about professional motorcycling?"

"How can my son do three things at the same time?" Shizuro asked.

"True. In fact, it's best to let our son decide what he wants to be. We respect his decision." Naoki smiled.

"That's nice." Rina smiled.

"Now that you told about it, I remember that battle against the water demon with horns." Yuri said.

"Yeah. Naoki-san was this close to tearing her hair out and after the battle, she threw that water demon away." Hippo said.

"Like a javelin throw." Seira said in which everybody laughed.

"So that means big brother will protect us." Suzuka said happily.

"Big Brother? You mean who?" The butler asked.

"Masahiro." Rina said, "These three now are the former mermaid princesses's children as you know by now."

"Suzuka. You can't just rely on him. You have to learn to defend yourself." Azumi said.

"Mou. You are right." Suzuka then realized.

"Well it looks like these are still really shiny trophies even after so many years." Saito said.

Everyone smiled. Then they saw a shelf where two books are there in two different rows.

"What are those two?" Maki asked.

"Photo albums." Naoki smiled smiled.

Everyone was in a shock.

"Oh wow! Photo album!" Rina said happily.

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

"OMG! May I see it?"

"Not now. Later." Taki said.

"Sure."

So they then began to explore other stuffs at their room.

"Wow look at these clothes in the wardrobe! Aren't they pretty?" Hanon squealed.

"Yeah. They are sure are." Luchia said happily.

"Good thing that they didn't make it look confusing. Shizuro's clothes are on the right while Naoki's clothes are on the left." Rina smiled.

"Well we better keep it back to its proper place." Kaito said in which the three girls nodded.

"Isn't this bed really nice?" Seira asked as she, Suzuka, Yuri and Hippo are relaxing nicely on the Shizuro's and Naoki's bed.

"All beds are really nice." Suzuka smiled.

"Well I can't wait to see Hamasaki-san's bed." Yuri said.

"We should not make a mess of it." Hippo said.

"Hey Get up four of you! This is not bed time you know." Taki said.

"Taki. Let them be there for a while." Nikora said.

"Can I sleep there as well?" Maki asked.

"No!" Suzuka, Yuri, Hippo and Seira whined in which everybody laughed.

"Hey what's there outside the window?" Sarah pointed out.

"Must be the garden. After all it's the mansion." Sara said.

"Is this another water foundation outside?" Azumi gasped as she pointed at it.

"Oh wow! It really is." Saito is excited.

"Seriously. Who are you people?" Gaito was puzzled.

"Why. We are the Hamasaki family of course." Shizuro smiled.

"I know that! I mean something else."

Everybody laughed as they exited the room.

"That is really an amazing room you have." Rina said happily.

"Why thank you." Naoki smiled.

"Well then everyone. Shall we visit my room?" The butler asked.

Everyone nodded as they went to the butler's room. When they arrived, they are amazed.

The butler's room has two posters hanging on the wall and it has a medium size bed. The butler's clothes are in the wardrobe and there is a big picture frame on the wall. The cupboard is also present.

"Can we go explore your room?" Rina asked.

"Feel free to do so." The butler smiled.

"We will wait here for you." Naoki smiled.

So they began exploring the room. The first thing that they saw is the black belt pinned on the wall.

"What's that black belt?" Kaito asked.

"Kung-fu." The butler said.

"What!" Luchia gasped, "So Shizuro does karate, Naoki does judo, you do kung-fu and Hamasaki-san does boxing."

"No wonder that this mansion doesn't get burglared." Rina smiled.

"Oh Gaito and Yuri, you would had been beaten up so badly if one of them meets you by chance." Hanon teased.

"Hey!" Gaito and Yuri whined in which everybody laughed.

"Hmm. No wonder you are a big fan of them." Azumi smiled as she pointed at the posters.

"Who are they?" Seira asked.

"I think you might not know them." Saito said, "Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee."

"Isn't this bed really nice?" Seira asked as she, Suzuka, Yuri and Hippo are relaxing nicely on the butler's bed.

"All beds are really nice." Suzuka smiled.

"Well I can't wait to see Hamasaki-san's bed." Yuri said.

"We should not make a mess of it." Hippo said.

"Again?!" Taki said scornfully which made Seira, Suzuka, Yuri and Hippo got up instantly.

Nikora sighed for a moment.

"Wow. Looks like your clothes are very neat and well dressed." Sarah said.

"Do you go outside sometimes?" Maki asked pointing at the casual clothes.

"Yes I do. That's why I even have these clothes." The butler said.

While they are exploring the butler's room, something caught Nikora's attention. It's the picture frame at top of the cupboard.

"What's that?" Nikora asked.

"Oh. That's the picture of my deceased parents." The butler sadly said.

Rina then looked at the picture frame for a moment.

"Is that your mother who was one of Naoki's people?" Rina asked.

"Yes it is." The butler asked.

"Wow. She is really pretty in the photo." Hanon smiled.

"Can you call Naoki and Shizuro for a moment?" Rina asked.

The butler nodded as he called Naoki and Shizuro. Naoki and Shizuro soon came.

"What is it that you called me for?" Naoki asked.

Rina showed Naoki and Shizuro the picture.

"Ah yes. That's his mother and father. His mother was one of my people." Naoki smiled.

"Did you know before that she has a family?" Luchia asked.

'Why yes. I saw her and her husband." Naoki smiled, "The butler was a cute little boy at that time."

The butler whistled and everyone giggled a little bit.

"But then how did you know what happened to his parents?" Seira asked.

"We saw him in the orphan house and we were quite shocked and puzzled about why he was there." Shizuro said, "It was then he told us that his parents died in a car crash."

"Now that's really sad." Sarah said sadly.

"I feel pity for the butler." Rina said sadly.

Silence occurred for a few minutes.

"Well butler. It looks like your room is really good." Nikora said.

"Why thank you." The butler smiled.

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

Everybody nodded as they exited the butler's room and went upstairs. The stairs are very huge in which everyone is in awe.

When they reached upstairs, right in the middle is the big picture frame.

"Oh My God! What is this?" Luchia asked in awe as she pointed at it.

"That's the Awami Shrine." Naoki smiled.

"Oh wow. We just came upstairs and this is the first thing that we saw is this instantly." Maki said in which everybody laughed.

Everyone saw the picture frame in awe.

"Wow. That shrine looks beautiful in the picture." Rina said happily.

"The shrine built by Masahiro's ancestor, Tajiro Hamasaki." Kaito smiled.

"We also went there." Hanon said happily.

"Yeah but at that time we didn't know the real history about it." Seira said.

"But we have never went there." Nikora said.

"It would be really interesting to go there." Taki said.

"The Legendary Tree and the Awami Shrine." Maki said.

"Oh. You didn't go there?" Shizuro asked.

"No. Only Luchia, Hanon, Rina, Kaito, Masahiro and Seira went there." Sara said.

"Did Nagisa also went there?" Sarah asked.

"Why yes. With his parents." The butler said.

"What about The Legendary Tree?" Gaito asked.

"We also went there." Naoki smiled.

"I had really no idea about these two untill yesterday and now." Saito said.

"But it's so far away from us." Yuri cried.

"Yeah. Unlike you guys, we don't use any transport." Hippo said, "We just walk."

"Mommy. Can I see them one day?" Suzuka asked.

"Sure we will. We will just ask the directions from them." Azumi said.

Everyone smiled as they looked at the big picture for a moment.

"Hey. What's that room there?" Rina asked as she pointed at the opened door.

Naoki, Shizuro and the butler smiled as they led them to that room. When they saw the huge room...

"Oh Wow!" Everyone was in awe.

"Everyone. This is where he trains." Shizuro smiled.

"And plays." Naoki said happily.

In this room, there are Jump Rope, Focus mitts, The Heavy Bag, The Speed Bag, The Double End Bag, The Maize Bag and The Slam man. There is also Chin-up bars, a mirror and some small weights. There are also different gloves hanging on the wall and huge self-portrait pictures of Muhammad Ali, Joe Fraizer, Takamura Mamoru, Rocky and Ivan Drago on the wall as well. There is also a big plasma tv with a PlayStation 2's plug being connected to it. A window is also there.

"This room almost looks like a gym." Kaito gasped.

"Not really. There are some few things missing and there is also the lastest plasma T.V with another home video game console on it." Saito said.

"Does he train there all day?" Rina asked.

"No. Just three days." Shizuro said.

"But it seems like he also plays there." Luchia said.

"Yep. Family fun at night." Naoki smiled.

"What are these pictures?" Hanon asked.

"Oh. These are his favorite boxers." The butler said.

"Wow. So many." Sara said in awe.

"Wow. This guy is hot." Seira said happily as she pointed at the self-portrait picture of Ivan Drago, "Can I see him?"

"Unfortunately, him and the picture beside are just fictional characters but they are really famous and made an impact on everyone, including our son." Shizuro said.

"Really?" Everyone was curious.

"Yep. They fought each other in a match and it was really brutal." The butler said.

"Can we see it?" Rina asked.

"Sure. He has that movie in a DVD." Naoki said, "But I warn you, some of you might not be suitable to watch the fight."

"Don't worry. We will make sure they won't watch it." Sarah smiled.

"No!" Suzuka, Seira and Yuri whined in which everyone laughed.

"Wow. He has so many favorite boxers." Azumi said in awe.

"No. It's only 5 of them." Taki said.

"What is your son's own fight record?" Maki asked.

"I'm not sure but I think 11 wins and 2 losses." The butler said.

"That's good." Yuri said.

"Oh dear. These 2 losses are actually my fault. I'm sorry." Rina thought sadly.

"But then why can't he turn professional?" Sarah asked.

"First of all, he is only 15-16 years old so he is underage." Naoki said, "Second my son is in a dilemma on what professional he wants to seek."

"Oh!" Everyone then realized.

"He told us that after 1 or 2 years, he will sit and discuss with us." Shizuro said.

"Whatever he becomes, call us and we will become his first fans." Rina smiled.

"We will all become his first fans, Rina." Luchia smiled.

Everyone smiled for a moment when they saw Gaito taking aim at the heavy bag.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Kaito asked.

"Let me see how hard I can punch this bag." Gaito said as he is preparing to punch it.

"Hey! Wait.." Saito desperately called.

But it is too late. Gaito punched the bag and then jumped and cried in pain.

"You need gloves to hit it, not with bare fists." Shizuro said.

"Are you okay Gaito?" Sara asked.

"No! Not really!" Gaito cried in pain as the butler tried to heal him.

"Hmm. It seems like there are some tape marks on it." Seira said, "Why is that?"

"Oh. About that." Naoki said as she ran to her room and came back with a piece of drawing.

"What's that?" Hippo asked.

"A picture of you." Shizuro said.

Everyone gasped.

"Picture of Hippo-sama! So that means...?" Yuri gasped.

"Yep. Young sir always punches this paper as if Hippo is a punching bag." The butler said.

"Oh. I bet you would had been so much in big trouble if he had met you." Rina smiled evily while Hippo was white in face.

"Nagisa will throw him to the sharks. Masahiro will beat him up." Sara said.

"But then why did he remove it?" Sarah asked.

"After I told him what happened when I first met Luchia and others, he removed it." Naoki said.

"Well. Consider yourself lucky Hippo." Luchia laughed.

"Yeah." Hanon said happily.

"Wow. There's tons of equipment there." Nikora said.

"Why not we explore other things around here?" Saito asked.

"Yeah!" Everybody cheered.

So they started to explore other training equipments: Jump Rope, Focus mitts, The Speed Bag, The Double End Bag, The Maize Bag, The Slam man, Chin-up bars and some small weights. They even tried some of it: Gaito and Kaito tried to carry small weights, Saito trying pull ups and Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Yuri tried jumping ropes taking turns. However, they all failed with only Saito being able to do pull-ups.

"Well. You are not Masahiro that you can do those properly." Suzuka said.

"True. I really need to learn something from Masahiro." Rina smiled.

Then they approached the big plasma TV with a PlayStation 2's plug being connected to it. The PlayStation 2 is also there and a bag full of games is on top of it.

"Well. It looks like we have entered Masahiro's playing section." Rina smiled.

"I am really surprise that Hamasaki-san trains and plays here at the same time." Hanon said.

"Well then, who wants to play with me?" Shizuro asked.

Everyone raised their hands saying, "Me! Me!". Looks like Gaito raised his hand first so he has got the chance to play with him.

Shizuro inserted the 'Boxing Championship'. Everyone was getting excited as the game is loading.

"You never played these before, haven't you?" Naoki asked.

"This is our second time seeing it. Kaito played with Taoki when we visited Nagisa's house." Rina said.

"Hey. I never played these before." Gaito said, "Could you show me how to play it?"

"The rules option will help you." Shizuro said.

As Shizuro is telling Gaito the controls and also showing how to play it, others are discussing about it.

"Will we see lots of violence here?" Suzuka gulped.

"No. It's not really bloody. Just they will show some battered faces." Naoki said.

Everyone sighed in relief.

"Can I see this bag?" Sarah asked.

"Here you go." The butler said as he handed a bag full of games.

Sarah then began to check the disks one by one. The others also looked at it with awe and amazement.

"So many games." Rina whistled.

"Wow. Had we known about them before, we could have so much fun in Nagisa's and Hamasaki-san's home." Hanon said happily.

"What happened about that?" The butler asked.

"Well. Me and Taoki were racing and I was leading on the last lap but then I crashed into the lamp post and I lost." Kaito sighed.

"But then Yukito told us that his son defeated him." Luchia said happily in which everybody laughed.

"Thanks. I was juat curious to see it." Sarah said as she handed the bag back to Naoki.

"Your welcome." Naoki smiled.

"But where do you have the space to have all of those things?" Taki asked.

"It's a mansion of course so there's plenty of space." Sara said.

"How about we can relocate the Pearl Piari between Nagisa's and Hamasaki-san's home so that we can visit them frequently?" Seira asked.

"Oh really? What about other people? What will happen to them?" Nikora asked.

"True. It will take a huge amount of time to move it from one place to another." Taki said.

"Yeah and we don't have any vehicles." Maki said.

"But now that we know their home, we can try to find a shortcut to their home." Yuri said.

"Oh maybe in case of crisis, we can settle in one of their house." Hippo said.

"I think we should live here when me and Masahiro get married." Rina smiled in which everyone smiled back.

"I think I know what to do now." Gaito said, "So let's brawl!"

"Whatever you say." Shizuro teased in which everybody laughed.

They then randomly choose their boxers in the screen. After that, the game is loading.

"Well then. Best of luck, bro." Kaito said.

"Thanks." Gaito smiled.

And then the fight began when the bell rang in which Gaito and Shizuro began to mash the controls. Some of them are cheering for Shizuro or Gaito or both of them. It is a becoming a slugfest with neither of them backing down.

"Wow. They are really fighting tooth and nail." Suzuka said happily.

"Yeah but it seems like Shizuro is really gaining a upper hand." Saito said.

"But this is really gonna be an interesting fight." Azumi smiled.

5 minutes later:

"Oh Crap!" Gaito said in horror.

Gaito watched in horror as the boxer collapsed for the third time, resulting in a T.K.O in the second round.

"Well. Shizuro was in complete control of the match." Kaito sweatdropped, "You were saved in the first round by the bell."

"But this was your first time so it was expected." Rina smiled.

"But you did give Shizuro a few pushovers." Sara said.

Gaito gave a big sigh.

"Well looks like no one has beaten me so far." Shizuro said happily.

"Not quite, sir." The butler said.

"Oh really? What about the fight between you and Masahiro?" Naoki asked.

"Eh?" Everyone asked in shock.

"Uh Oh." Shizuro gulped.

Flashback:

Shizuro and his son, Masahiro, are playing the boxing game 'Boxing Championship' with Naoki and the butler watching. It was Round 2 and both of them knocked each other twice already.

"There's still a minute left and it could be anytime that either one of them will get T.K.O" The butler gulped.

"Well I'm still rooting for my son. Come on Masahiro." Naoki is cheering for his son.

"Thanks mom." Masahiro smiled but then panicked after his boxer got hit by a hard hook.

It is boiling down to a point where one hard punch decides it all.

"Now just one raging punch and I win." Shizuro said happily.

But then he made a really big mistake by simply giving a jab to Masahiro's boxer which isn't enough to finish him. Masahiro unleased his boxer's raging hook. Shizuro desperately unleashed his boxer's raging jab but it was too late. Shizuro's boxer got clean hit by the raging hook and he is tumbling down.

"No!" Shizuro cried in horror.

"Yes! T.K.O." Masahiro said happily as he celebrated with his mom and butler.

"Hooray! You win!" Naoki said happily.

"Bravo young sir. Bravo!" The butler clapped.

The three of them celebrated while Shizuro was left to rue himself for bad luck.

Present:

"Oh!" Everyone smiled evily at Shizuro who is whistling a little bit.

"Very clever of you, eh?" Rina smiled evily, "Proudfully saying unbeaten but actually got beaten by your son."

"I just pressed the wrong button. That's why I lost." Shizuro whined in which everyone started to laugh.

"Maybe once I learn something from him, I will challenge you again." Gaito said with determination.

"We will see about that."

Everyone smiled and laughed as Shizuro switched off the Playstation 2 and put it back to where it was. Then they exited the room.

"Naoki. Where do you do your toilet and bath?" Rina asked.

"The toilet room is on downstairs." Naoki said.

"The bath room is on downstairs as well." The butler said.

"Wow! I bet the bath room is so huge that it can fit four of you as if you are playing water splash." Hanon said happily in which everybody laughed.

"Wow. What a correct prediction you made." Shizuro smiled.

Slowly their excitement grew when they looked straight at the door that has not been explored. The one and only...

"Okay then everyone. This is the room all you have been waiting for." Shizuro said.

"Are you all excited?" Naoki asked.

"Well I can see their excitement on their faces." The butler said.

"Well of course we are excited. We can discover a lot about him by exploring his room." Luchia smiled.

"Masahiro's room." Rina said happily.

"Oh boy. I wanna see what clothes does he wears." Hanon is excited.

"I really wonder what he does in his room." Seira wondered.

"It can only be found out when we enter his room." Sara smiled.

"And maybe we could look at some of his private stuffs." Kaito smiled evily.

"True. Like the diary." Gaito said, "If he has one."

"We really got lucky the last time." Saito said, "Nagisa still wasn't here when we finished exploring his room."

"So just like yesterday, we are exploring his room at great risk." Azumi said.

"But is the door locked?" Suzuka asked.

"I don't think so. It's because he doesn't know that we are here." Sarah said.

"It will be really interesting to find out what he did in the previous school." Nikora said.

"And his grades." Taki said.

"I think things are gonna be a little bit different since this is a mansion." Maki said.

"Are we just gonna stand there and chit-chat about it?" Yuri asked sternly.

"True. Hamasaki-san might come anytime." Hippo said.

"Well then. Should we start exploring Masahiro's room?" Rina smiled.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.

"Very well then. Straight ahead." Naoki smiled.

And so, they walked slowly to the door which is Masahiro's room.

TO BE CONTINUED.

Me: Phew! What a long chapter 23 I have written.

Shizuro *puzzled*: Hey. Where is our son by the way?

*Masahiro was tip-toing out of the room when suddenly a creek sound could be heard.*

Rina *smiling*: Well Well. Why are you slowly walking out of the room without us noticing?

Masahiro: Well. I have to got to go to the toilet. So see ya.

*Masahiro then went off like a flash.*

Rina: Come back Masahiro!

*Rina then started to chase Masahiro with the butler, Shizuro, Naoki and me are laughing.*

Naoki *smiling*: Looks like our son's room is next. Maybe that's why he is running off.

Butler: Well we are going to hear it on the next chapter.

Me *smiling*: That's right. It continues on Chapter 24. Enjoy the next chapter now. :D.
