Me: Well. I came back from 1 and a half week holiday and so here's chapter 26.
Saito: Hey Kaito. Can I ask you one thing?
Kaito: Sure bro. What is it?
Saito: How did you fall in love in Luchia?
Luchia *happily*: It's pure and simple. Childhood Love!
Azumi: Childhood Love?!
*Everyone laughed.*
Me: Thank you all for reading, reviewing and liking this story.
Suzuka: And also he does not own Mermaid Melody. Just the OCs.
Me: And now without further delay, let Chapter 26 begin.
Suzuka *tapped Luchia on the shoulder*: Tag! I got you Luchia!
Luchia *shocked*: Hey Wait! Come back here
*Luchia then chased Suzuka while Me, Kaito, Saito and Azumi laughed.*
Chapter 26: Saito's House Visit.
At night in Pearl Piari, Luchia and others are discussing about what to do tomorrow.
"What do you think we should do tomorrow?" Kaito asked.
"Well we visited Nagisa's house and Masahiro's mansion." Gaito said.
"So we will visit Saito's house." Yuri said happily.
"Are we going to visit Saito and others by surprise?" Sarah asked.
"We sure will." Sara smiled.
"How can we? We don't have his address?" Hippo asked.
Everyone looked at Hippo.
"What do you mean by that? Of course we can!" Hanon said.
"What do you mean? How can we?" Hippo asked.
"The boys? Family reunion?" Rina asked.
"Oh!" Everyone then realized.
"Awesome! Now our job has become easier." Luchia said happily, "We can just take the address from the boys."
"I'm so excited for tomorrow." Seira said in excitement.
"But the transport? We don't have any!" Taki cried.
"Well it seems that we have to take three taxis and ask them to follow the first taxi." Nikora said.
"So now let's rest for tomorrow." Maki said.
Everyone nodded as they went to their own respective rooms with Sarah returning back to the North Pacific Palace.
The next day at school:
"Hmm. I wonder where Hamasaki-san and Nagisa-kun are." Luchia said.
"We just entered the building." Hanon said.
"I have no idea." Rina sighed.
"Hey look! There they are." Kaito said pointing at Nagisa and Masahiro.
"Well let's go check them out." Seira said happily.
Then they walked towards them. Nagisa and Masahiro are happily laughing and chatting at the photo with their animal friends.
"What a day it was yesterday, wasn't it Masahiro?" Nagisa asked happily.
"It sure was Nagisa." Masahiro smiled, "Not only we reunited with our animal pals but the girls and others got to see us with them as well."
"Ohaiyo Hamasaki-san and Nagisa-kun." Luchia greeted cheerfully.
"Oh hello." Both boys smiled.
"Say. Where are your best pals for life?" Kaito asked.
"Hotoshi told me that he's coming late cause his bicycle broke down." Nagisa said.
"Kazama is here but as usual, he is hanging around with his fangirls for quite sometime." Masahiro said in which the girls and Kaito giggled.
"Well can take some time from you?" Hanon asked.
"Sure. What do you want?" Nagisa asked.
Silence occurred for a moment.
"Can you give us the address?" Rina asked.
"What address? I thought you already know our homes by now." Masahiro gasped.
"Not your address." Luchia said, "Saito's address."
"And why do you want the address?" The boys asked as they looked at them suspiciously.
"We will tell you the reason." Kaito said, "But please don't tell about that to your parents."
Masahiro and Nagisa nodded.
"We will visit them by surprise." Seira said.
"So a surprise visit." Nagisa said.
"Yeah." Luchia said happily.
"Alright then. Give me a few seconds." Masahiro said.
Masahiro then took out a small piece of paper, wrote Saito's address in it and gave it to them. With a great thanks given to Masahiro and Nagisa, the girls and Kaito ran off.
"Well what a day this is going to be, isn't it Masahiro?" Nagisa smiled.
"It sure is." Masahiro smiled as he patted Nagisa, "We are also going there as well."
"And right after school. This is so going to be so much fun."
"They are going to be in a world of surprise once they see that our parents are here as well."
Both boys giggled and giggled.
Evening at Pearl Piari:
"Well it looks like we are all ready." Luchia said happily.
"Did you get the address?" Nikora asked.
"Yep. We sure did." Hanon said happily as she showed them the piece of paper containing Saito's address.
"Now all we have left is what transport to use." Seira said.
"We will use the taxi of course." Rina said.
"But one taxi won't be enough for all of us." Kaito said.
"Yeah. We are goind to need several taxis for that." Gaito said.
"There are 13 of us." Sarah said, "One taxi might need 5 people."
"So it seems like we will need 3 taxis." Taki said.
"But in whatever cases, it's gonna be so exciting to go to Saito's house." Maki said.
"I'm not sure about that, Maki-san." Hippo said, "I think Saito must have burnt some of his memories right now because his ex-wife was a criminal."
"Except his memories with Azumi." Yuri said.
"We will see about that." Sara said, "Right now, let's go and visit Saito's house."
"YEAH!" Everybody cheered.
So everyone first went out from Pearl Piari. Then they had to wait for 25 minutes to get three taxis. Kaito, Luchia, Hanon, Rina and Seira got in the 1st taxi, Nikora, Taki, Maki and Sarah in the 2nd taxi and Gaito, Sara, Hippo and Yuri in the 3rd taxi.
"Sir, this is the address we are going." Kaito said in the first taxi, "And there are two other taxis that will be following us so try not to lose them."
"We will be following one taxi and another is behind us. Don't lose them." Nikora said in the 2nd taxi.
"Follow those two taxis." Gaito said in the 3rd taxi.
All three taxi drivers nodded and off they went to Saito's house.
Everyone was excited as the three taxis followed each other closely. However it took them 20 minutes to reach Saito's house because of some traffic. When they reached there, they looked at Hippo's Pearl Radar to make sure it's correct.
"Yep. That's the one." Hippo smiled.
Everyone cheered. After paying the taxi drivers, they looked at his house. His house is medium sized house. Outside there are lots of grasses.
"Well. This is Saito's house." Kaito said.
"Let's live together with Saito as the Panthalassa bros." Gaito said in which everybody laughed.
"So who's going to open the door?" Sarah asked.
"I will." Luchia said happily as she pushed the bell ring.
Luchia then pushed the bell ring.
"I'm coming." Saito said.
Saito then rushed to the door. When he opened it, he was super surprised!
"Whoa!" Saito said in surprise.
"Konichiwa!" Everyone greeted cheerfully.
"Yo brother. How are you?" Kaito asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Saito said, "But how did you know that this is our my house?"
"The boys gave it to the girls at school today." Gaito said.
"Is Azumi here?" Luchia asked.
"Yeah. She's here." Saito said before calling her out, "Azumi! Luchia and others are here!"
"What?! Really?!" A voice gasped, "Coming in a minute."
"If we interrupted you in doing anything then we are really sorry for that." Nikora said.
"No worries." Saito said.
Azumi soon came.
"Konichiwa!" Everyone greeted cheerfully.
"Surprised?" Taki asked.
"Yeah. Definitely surprised." Azumi smiled, "But how did you know that this is our house?"
"The boys gave it to the girls at school today and I checked it out using my Pearl Radar." Hippo said.
"So Saito and Azumi? How things are going?" Sarah asked.
"Pretty fine." Saito said.
"Anything new from you?" Azumi asked.
"Nope. We were just laying around wishing that we could be in our friends' place." Seira laughed.
"Yesterday was awesome. We met Luna and Setsuki together with Hamasaki-san and Nagisa." Yuri said happily.
"Oh yeah. Suzuka told us that." Saito said.
"And I thought 'Oh darn it! I should have been there.'." Azumi said in which everybody laughed.
"We are sorry if we interrupted you into doing anything." Taki said.
"No need to apologize. We are just talking to our guest." Azumi said.
Everyone is a bit surprised.
"Guests?" Maki asked.
"Who could it be?" Gaito asked.
"I think we will find out once we get in." Sara said.
"Yeah. You had been standing for too long." Saito said, "Why not you come in?"
Everyone gladly nodded as they entered Saito's house. Everyone was in awe.
"You had a family reunion right here, right?" Hanon asked in excitement.
"Yep and it was the best family reunion." Saito smiled.
"I really can't wait to see who these guests are." Rina said.
But what they saw totally shocked them! Do you know why?
Because sitting on the sofas is Yukito, Naoki, Taoki and Shizuro, chatting happily. When they saw Luchia and others, they smiled.
"Well who do we have here?" Yukito smiled.
"Our friends of course. Who else?" Naoki smiled in which everybody laughed.
Luchia and others are shocked!
"Yukito? Taoki? You guys are here?" Hanon gasped.
"Yep. Saito invited us to come here. So here we are." Yukito said happily.
"Naoki? Shizuro?" Rina was mouth opened.
"Same thing what Yukito said." Naoki smiled.
Then they looked out of the window and saw in shock that along with other clothes, Nagisa's and Masahiro's school uniform and bags are also hanged in to dry.
"Why are their school uniforms and bags there?" Luchia asked in shock.
"Make a guess." Taoki said.
"You do know this school uniform and bag, don't you?" Shizuro asked.
Everyone nodded. Suddenly, they realized...
"You don't mean to say..." Seira started.
"...That Nagisa and Masahiro came right after school?!" Kaito asked in shock.
Taoki and Shizuro nodded. Some of them broke in tears.
"Did the boys tell you anything about them visiting here?" Nikora asked.
"No. We asked them the address and they gave it." Luchia said.
"Why we didn't know about this?!" Yuri cried.
"I don't blame the boys. They also didn't know that we are coming on a surprise visit today right now." Rina said.
"Speaking about that, where are the boys?" Hanon asked.
"Oh. They arrived here after school." Azumi said, "They left an hour ago."
"No! We missed them!"
"Where are they going?" Sara asked.
"Playing with their sea animal friends." Azumi said.
"Suzuka is not here. That means she must have gone with them as well." Sarah said.
"Looks like we have missed a lot of fun then." Gaito sighed.
"But how did they come here?" Hippo asked.
"And where's your butler?" Maki asked.
"The butler picked them up a few minutes after school and right now, he is in the kitchen." Naoki smiled.
"Well it looks like we can now explore your house without any interference from your children." Maki said.
"So let's go then." Kaito said.
"Well it seems it looks like we will be with them around for sometime." Saito said.
"It's okay. We will wait here." Yukito smiled.
"Alright. Let's go then." Azumi said.
So everyone went upstairs. Pretty soon, the butler came.
"So it seems like the princesses and others have come." The butler said.
"How did you know about that?" Taoki asked.
"Well I heard voices from the kitchen room."
All five of them laughed.
Meanwhile in the upstairs, Luchia and others first went to Saito's and Azumi's room. The room took them by surprise.
The room has normal size bed. It has pink walls and it has a wardrobe, cupboard and some stuffs on the table with a mirror on it. However, unlike the two others, there was no wedding picture between Saito and his ex-wife. Instead, there are photos of Saito and Azumi during their teen days.
"Don't you have the wedding photo unlike Yukito's and Naoki's?" Seira asked.
"What are you saying? Saito must have burned it!" Luchia exclaimed.
"Wow! Looks like you made a correct prediction. You are a wizard mermaid princess, Luchia." Saito said in which everybody laughed.
"So after you burned it, you just put the pictures with Azumi in it." Kaito said in which Saito nodded.
"Why don't you have us?! We are Panthalassa as well." Gaito whined in which everybody laughed.
"Oh yeah. I now remember something." Azumi said.
"What could that be?" Nikora said.
Azumi then opened a drawer, took out the pink potion and gave it to Sarah.
"For me?" Sarah asked.
"Yep. You are a North Pacific Mermaid so this is a gift for you." Azumi smiled.
"Make sure you take care of it." Taki said.
"Don't worry. I will." Sarah smiled as she held the potion tightly.
"Well it now looks like if there is a water splash, you can drink the potion and you are safe." Luchia said happily.
"Oh. Now I remember one thing as well." Saito said.
"What could that be?" Hippo asked.
Saito then opened the drawer and picked up two photos. He then showed it to them.
"Do you remember these?" Saito asked.
Everyone looked at it for a moment before they gasped.
"I know! I know!" Hanon said happily, "Those are the photos that we took when we were in Nagisa's and Hamasaki-san's house and mansion."
"Yep. Here you girls. I also gave it to the boys." Saito said.
"Really! Thank you very much." Rina smiled.
Hanon and Rina looked at their pictures and smiled.
"Well it looks like you are going to post the pictures on your rooms, won't you?" Seira asked.
"We sure will." Hanon and Rina smiled.
"Seems like you really have a nice room here." Sara smiled.
"Is that the photo album?" Kaito asked pointing at a book.
"Yes it is. Unfortunately, we have only one photo album." Saito said sadly.
"No worries. I bet there's going to be plenty of pictures in it." Luchia said happily.
"Oh yes. There will be." Azumi smiled.
"So why not we go to Suzuka's room then?" Seira asked.
"Oh wow. That will be nice." Nikora said.
"I bet her room is going to be so pinkish." Luchia squealed.
"We will see about that." Kaito smiled.
So they exited Saito's and Azumi's room and soon entered Suzuka's room. When they saw her room, everyone is amazed.
In her room, there is a bed, table and some several stuff toys and dolls in the cupboard and a wardrobe. There are several photos on the wall and a drawing.
"Wow! This almost looks like my room." Luchia said happily.
"Well some of the things are really different." Nikora said.
"Yeah. Like those stuff toys and other things." Taki said.
"Oh wow! Can we explore her room?" Seira asked.
"Please do so." Saito said.
"Wow! This will be really exciting." Kaito said.
Before they could go to the wardrobe, they saw Hippo, Yuri and Seira sleeping on Suzuka's bed. Rather than calling them this time, Taki instead pulled their legs in which everyone laughed. Then they approached the wardrobe.
"Now let's see what she wears." Sarah smiled as she opened the wardrobe.
Inside the wardrobe, there are many pretty pink dresses in several different designs. One of them is a Barbie dress.
"Oh wow! Look at those pretty pink dresses." Hanon squealed.
"They are so pinkish." Luchia said happily.
"Can we see them?" Seira asked.
Azumi nodded. Everyone looked at Suzuka's clothes and they are all in awe.
"Wow. These are really pretty clothes for Suzuka." Luchia said happily.
"Could it be that Yukito designed it from them?" Hanon asked in excitement.
"What are you say? Suzuka might had those clothes from before." Rina said.
"Oh look! A Barbie shirt!" Seira said happily pointing at the shirt showing Barbie's smiling face.
"Looks like she is really a big fan of it." Nikora said.
"Wow. Unlike Nagisa's and Masahiro's clothes, all Suzuka's clothes are in the same color." Taki said.
"Whereas there are 2 or 3 shirts that are not in blue or green color when we visited them." Maki said.
"Hippo-sama? Where do you think we can buy these clothes?" Yuri asked in excitement.
"I have no idea. I never went to shops before." Hippo sighed.
"Well it's too bad for you." Kaito said.
"Well I never went there before as well." Gaito said.
"I did! With Taro." Sara smiled.
"Saito, Azumi. Your daughter's clothes are such a beauty!" Luchia said happily.
"Why thank you Luchia." Azumi said.
"Hey. What are those dolls?" Sarah asked pointing the dolls at the top of the cupboard.
"Do you want to see it?" Saito asked.
Everyone nodded in excitement as they approached the cupboard. At the top of the cupboard, there are some stuff toys and Barbie dolls.
"Oh wow! Look at those dolls. They are so pretty." Luchia squealed.
"Can we have them?" Hanon asked.
"But we don't even know them." Nikora said in which everybody laughed.
"It seems like she is a big fan of them." Rina said.
"Do you have DVDs of them?" Seira asked.
"Unfortunately we don't have them." Saito said, "But we will buy them."
"Hooray! I can't wait to see it." Yuri squealed.
"Hey. Why are Kaito and Gaito looking at the stuff toys?" Hippo asked.
"Well it looks like they are not interested in all those girly stuffs." Taki said in which everybody laughed.
"Did she bring all those when you left your ex-wife's house?" Maki asked in which Saito nodded.
"If Azumi was alive at that time, we would have seen lots of things." Sara sighed.
"Those are nice stuff toys you have." Sarah smiled
"Oh Wow!" Gaito said in awe.
"What's the matter?" Luchia asked.
"Look at Suzuka's pink wall." Kaito exclaimed.
They all looked at the wall and are taken by awe. There are many photos of pink wall. But what completely took them was the drawing of Luchia and Azumi with a Panthalassa sign at the top of it.
"Did your daughter drew it?" Luchia gasped.
"She drew it yesterday." Azumi smiled.
Everyone cheered.
"Oh Wow! The drawing is so awesome!" Luchia said happily.
"And not only that, she drew the Panthalassa symbol perfectly." Kaito said.
"But what does it mean?" Hanon asked.
"Well it could mean that the lovers of Luchia and Azumi came from the Panthalassa clan." Rina smiled.
"That's true. Azumi with Saito and Luchia with Kaito." Sarah said.
"Hey! What about us?!" Gaito and Sara whined in which everybody laughed.
"And look at those photos." Nikora said.
"What are they?" Taki asked.
"It seems like Suzuka's childhood photos as far as I can tell." Maki said.
"Yep. You are right. They are indeed her childhood photos." Saito said.
"Wow! She is so cute." Seira squealed.
"But not with the boys?" Yuri was puzzled.
"Suzuka didn't meet them at that time." Hippo reminded her.
"Oh wow! These photos and that drawing is so awesome! I better give a present to Suzuka the next time we come to your house." Luchia said happily.
Everyone smiled at Luchia. Suddenly, Sarah remembered one thing.
"Oh! Can I talk to Luchia and Azumi for a while?" Sarah asked.
"Sure. What do you want to know?" Luchia asked.
"Not in front of them. A secret talk."
"Well if you want to talk to them secretly, then it's best to let the three of you alone for a while." Nikora said.
And with that the others left except Luchia, Azumi and Sarah. Taki closed the door.
"Do you have any idea what they will talk about?" Kaito asked.
"No idea bro." Gaito sighed.
"How about we look at the photo albums then?" Saito asked.
Everyone cheered as they headed back to Saito's and Azumi's room to look at the photo albums.
Meanwhile on Suzuka's room:
"So what do you want to know?" Luchia asked.
"I want to know what in the world happened to Azumi in the past." Sarah said.
"Wait. You mean..." Azumi asked.
"Yep. If you were dead, then how were you brought back alive? Also why did the Shirai and Hamasaki family had a grudge against Hippo? And how were Gaito, Sara and Yuri were brought back alive?"
Luchia and Azumi looked at each other. Then they smiled at Sarah.
"Well since you are our close friend, we have nothing to hide from you." Luchia smiled, "Here goes."
10 minutes later:
After Luchia and Azumi told everything what Sarah wanted to know, Sarah was shocked and sad.
"So the Shirai and Hamasaki family had a grudge against Hippo because he threw the book away and you never knew the law no.34 which you found out later on after Saito dumped you which lead to your suicide." Sarah said happily.
"Hai. That's true." Azumi said, "Me, Yukito and Naoki are best friends for life."
"I know. But on the other hand, Hippo witnessed the brutal murder of his mom and her guardian, leading to fear that Takashi might get him where for real, Takashi was executed when the former mermaid princesses were in their school teens."
"Hai. Naoki, on her first visit, told us everything and we were so angry with Hippo that we beat him up and I thought of dismissing him as my guardian." Luchia sadly said, "But we were taken aback by Hippo's tragic past."
"So that means Azumi is not Suzuka's real mother. You are her step mother."
"Saito broke up with his wife because he discovered her true color and really regretted for being with her." Azumi said.
Silence occurred for a moment.
"I feel really bad for Yukito and Naoki." Sarah said sadly, "Especially Yukito who suffered a mental breakdown."
"And it's really unlucky for the boys and a butler that they never got to see her when they were young." Luchia said sadly.
"And Azumi, Gaito, Sara and Yuri were brought back alive with three simple magic steps."
"Yep but there was a lot of resistance from the Shirai and Hamasaki family about Gaito. Not to forget Meru as well."
"I'm sorry that I had to listen to your tragic past. It was just that I was wondering how those events occurred that was written on the diary."
"Hey it's okay." Azumi said, "You are also our friend."
"But now everything is back to normal again." Luchia smiled, "So it's better that we don't bring up this issue for now."
"I think you are right." Sarah smiled.
Luchia, Azumi and Sarah smiled at each other. Then they left Suzuka's room and saw Saito and others in their room. They then went there.
Saito and others are looking at the photo album.
"Oh. You came." Nikora said, "Join us."
Luchia, Sarah and Azumi gladly joined the others.
"Wow! You even had fan girls before you dated Azumi." Kaito said in awe, "I even have fan girls as well and they still chase me around.'
"I pity you." Saito said in which everybody laughed.
"Mou. You look really pretty on that photo, Azumi." Hanon said.
"Is that Suzuka? She looks really cute as a baby." Seira squealed.
"Looks like only Saito and Suzuka are there in the photo always." Nikora said.
"So that means his ex-wife didn't have a single time to spend time with them. What a terrible mother Suzuka had." Taki said.
"Not to mention that she is a criminal." Hippo said.
"But now she's in jail so now we can start taking pictures with Azumi." Maki said.
"Which we did." Azumi said happily as she showed the photo of Saito, Azumi and Suzuka.
"Well now that's a relief." Rina smiled.
"Didn't we see them before?" Hippo asked in which everyone realized.
"We did but not all of them." Yuri said.
"Look at that. A family reunion photo." Sara said.
"There's also us as well." Gaito said.
"These are really nice photos you have." Sarah smiled.
"It was really fun to go exploring your room and Suzuka's room." Luchia said.
"Let's go down now. The others might be wondering what we are doing for so long." Azumi said.
Everyone nodded as they went downstairs. Then they could see the two former mermaid princesses and their husbands watching T.V. The butler is drinking tea. They then saw them and smiled.
"Well. How did you enjoy on upstairs?" Naoki smiled.
"It was really great." Nikora said.
"We went to Suzuka's and their parents room." Luchia said happily.
"Looks like all of you have enjoyed such a wonderful time." Yukito said happily.
"We sure did." Hanon said, "And she even drew Luchia and Azumi."
"Say. Your children have been out for so long." Rina said, "Did you call them?"
"I'm sure they will be okay." Naoki smiled, "Everything will be fine."
"I can call our son up." Shizuro said, "Masahiro has a mobile phone with him."
Everyone nodded but before Shizuro could call up, there was a bell ring.
"It's them." Taoki said, "Safe and sound."
"Let me open the door!" Hanon declared.
"No let me!" Rina shouted.
"Me! Me!" Luchia demanded.
The three girls started to fight with each other while everyone sweatdropped. Saito went slowly passed them and opened the door. It's the former mermaid princesses children: Nagisa, Masahiro and Suzuka.
"Hooray! Our babies are here!" Yukito said happily.
"Babies?!" Nagisa, Masahiro and Suzuka said in shock while everyone laughed.
"Well you know your mother, Nagisa." Naoki smiled, "How things go, son?"
"It was the best!" Masahiro said happily.
"Hey! Look at them." Nagisa said, "Why and Who are they fighting?"
"Hello there!" Seira said happily as she and others approached them.
"Seira, Nikora and others?" Suzuka gasped in which everyone nodded, "Wait so that must mean..."
"Luchia! Hanon! Rina!" Nikora shouted, "Stop fighting!"
The girls then stopped fighting and smiled at the former mermaid princesses children. Suzuka is shocked but Masahiro and Nagisa knew that they would be coming today.
"Well if it isn't Hanon and others?" Nagisa asked.
"Looks like you missed us about an hour ago." Masahiro said, "But I'm glad you came."
"Since when did you guys come?" Suzuka asked.
"Well we came here many minutes back." Luchia said, "We were also shocked when we saw Nagisa-kun's and Hamasaki-san's parents, school uniform and bag."
"Wait. So when we requested you for Saito's address, you knew that there will be a surprise for us?" Hanon asked.
Nagisa and Masahiro giggled before they started to laugh.
"Well that's one surprise you really pulled it out." Rina said in which everyone laughed.
"No wonder Yukito and others weren't shock when we first came." Sarah said.
"Well we knew that as soon as the boys told us." Taoki said.
"But bad timing." Shizuro said, "Looks like Luchia and others came when Masahiro and others left an hour ago."
Everyone laughed. Seira then looked at the Mermaid of Love locket and the Mermaid Flute.
"Hooray. After a while, we finally get to see it." Seira said happily.
"You are acting as if you are seeing it for the first time." Suzuka said.
"She meant that it has been a while since we last saw Nagisa and Masahiro having them." Maki said.
"You took it with you when you went outside?" Taki asked in surprise.
"Yeah. We are aware of the risks so no worries." Nagisa said.
"So what did you do when you went outside?" Kaito asked.
"We will tell you later." Masahiro said, "But we need a break first."
Everyone nodded as the three of them went to Suzuka's room.
"I wonder what did they really do outside?" Gaito asked.
"That I have no idea." Sara said, "But I think that they might have taken some photos."
"True. I saw the Ocean-Proof Camera with them." Yuri said.
"Or it could be that they could have taken photos at the sea." Hippo said.
10 minutes later:
Everyone waited for them. Pretty soon, they came.
"So what did you guys do outside?" Luchia asked.
"First you tell us what did you do." Suzuka asked.
"Well we went to your room and your parents' room." Hanon said.
"And we saw lots of things." Seira said.
"And we saw the photo album as well." Nikora said, "Though most of them of yours are with Saito."
"But there was some pictures with Azumi." Nagisa said.
"Yep and we saw them." Sarah said.
"Looks like you have two pictures with you." Rina smiled, "What could it be?"
"You mean this?" Masahiro smiled as he showed them the photo of him and others with their sea animal friends.
"Oh wow!" Sara said in awe.
"Wow. So it looks like you had fun at the sea with the sea animal friends." Gaito said.
"It was a long time since we last had fun with them." Nagisa said.
But then there was something unusual about the photo.
"Who is this another whale beside Luna?" Hippo asked.
"Make a guess." Masahiro smiled, "I bet Rina knows him very well."
"Really? Let me see." Rina said.
So Rina looked at the photo and when she realized who that whale is, she gasped.
"Is that Minke?" Rina gasped.
"Minke, your messenger?" Yuri asked in which Rina nodded.
"Really? Let us see." Yukito asked in excitement.
Everyone then looked at the photo.
"Oh wow! It is him." Luchia said happily.
"Is that Minke who is Rina's messenger?" Naoki asked.
"Yep. That's the whale we are talking about." Hanon said happily.
"Masahiro. How did you meet Minke?" Rina asked.
"While we were having fun in the sea, another whale came up and surprisingly, Luna knew him. He then introduced us to Minke." Masahiro said.
"And as soon as Minke-chan came, I said 'Join us.' and he gladly did so." Suzuka said happily.
"Speaking about that, don't you have any messengers?" Nagisa asked.
"Unlike Luchia and Rina, No." Hanon cried.
"What about the photo we gave you?" Saito asked.
"Right here." The children smiled as they showed the photos that Saito gave to Hanon and Rina.
"Wow! You are able to keep them safe despite being in the sea." Azumi said in awe.
"What about Hanon and Rina?" Suzuka asked.
"They also got it as well." The butler said.
"Cool. So we got two photos each." Nagisa said in which everybody cheered.
"Actually I have three." Masahiro said to himself and smiled.
"Mou. You could have called us to have fun." Seira cried.
"But they went out about an hour before we came." Sara said.
"Well at least you pests didn't have to interfere us." Gaito smirked.
"Pests?!" Suzuka, Nagisa and Masahiro are shocked.
"Prepare to get blinded, Gaito." Masahiro said in which his locket is blinking green and slowly flew towards Gaito.
"No! I mean... Ah Shoot!" Gaito gasped as he is chased around by the locket in which everybody laughed.
"Well serves you right for insulting them." Nikora called.
"Sorry. Sometimes my brother acts like that." Kaito apologized.
"My stomach is really rumbling. I'm starving." Yuri said.
"Me too." Hippo said.
"Well then. It's already night." Taki said, "So it's dinner time."
"Hey Gaito. Stop running!" Maki said.
Gaito was still running while the locket is still chasing him. Gaito then fell flat on the face in which everybody laughed. The locket then returned to Masahiro.
"Well then let's refresh ourselves before we go to the dining table, shall we?" Sarah asked in which everybody nodded.
"Well this is going to be an exciting dinner, isn't it?" Yukito asked happily.
"It sure is." Naoki smiled, "But there's going to be lots of people so some of them might have to sit."
In the dining room:
Everyone is happily eating in the dining room in which some of them have to sit down as there are lack of chairs.
"Well I will never forget that day when that pie came landing on your head." Nagisa smiled.
"Eh?!" Everyone was puzzled.
"Oh Yeah. Saito was giving jelly to my dad when he accidentally slammed a plate and the pie went flying and landed on Saito's head." Masahiro laughed.
Everyone then soon burst into laughter with Saito getting a bit embarrassed.
"Nagisa told me about that outside the school." Hanon said happily.
"Wow. You boys have to remember this." Saito sighed.
"Suzuka. Where did you keep the Ocean-Proof Camera?" Azumi asked.
"In your room." Suzuka smiled.
"Say Masahiro and Kaito. Who is the most beautiful mermaid princess?" Seira giggled.
"Well I believe it's Rina." Masahiro smiled.
"No. It's Luchia!" Kaito exclaimed.
Everyone is getting prepared to hear another 'Duck Season/Wabbit Season' style argument.
"Rina." Masahiro said calmly.
"Luchia!" Kaito exclaimed.
"Rina."
"Luchia!"
"Rina."
"Luchia!"
"Luchia."
"Rina!"
"Luchia."
"Well I say Rina is more beautiful than everyone!"
And with that Kaito smiled proudfully. But when he saw everyone gasped and started to laugh, Kaito realized that he has been fooled!
"Kaito. You just became the 2nd victim to fall under Hamasaki-san's trick." Luchia laughed.
"Now that's so funny." Hanon laughed.
"Thanks Kaito for saying I'm the prettiest." Rina smiled.
"Seira. Nice job for bringing that act back again." Sara smiled.
"I wasn't there when Hamasaki-san had that argument with Kazama-san so I thought of pulling that trick." Seira giggled.
"Well Kaito said he won't get fooled but he did get fooled." Gaito laughed.
"Wait...How?!" Kaito gasped in shock.
"That's him alright." Naoki smiled, "Our son always ends up the winner when it comes to this."
"That's right, mom." Masahiro said, "Cause I really love it."
"Wait. Did that happen before?" Sarah asked.
"Why yes." Nikora said, "You weren't there at that time."
"Masahiro told me yesterday at school and I died of laughter." Nagisa laughed.
Everyone soon started to laugh with Kaito getting flustered in embarrassment.
"Well this is really turning out to be a fun dinner, isn't it?" Yukito asked happily.
"It sure is." Taoki said.
"Speaking about that, what should we do next?" Shizuro asked.
"How about you tell us how you and Taoki were able to discover your wives' mermaid form?" Yuri asked happily.
"I think we already knew about it before." Hippo said.
"Then how about how the boys met the girls?" Taki asked.
"It will be a long time narrative telling that." Nikora said in which everyone laughed.
"Then don't you have a DVD player so that we can watch any movies you have?" Maki asked.
"We do have but I have no idea where I kept the DVDs." Saito said.
Everyone fell down in anime style.
"How about Mommy and others sing?" Suzuka asked happily.
"Singing?" Azumi gasped.
"Yeah. Singing."
"That's true. Why don't you sing for us?" Nagisa smiled.
"Wha...Are you sure?" Luchia asked.
"We would love to." Hanon smiled.
"But do we have to?" Seira asked.
"Ever since we met you, you never sang in front of us." Masahiro said, "Except Rina but not in her idol form."
"How about our mommies can sing with them?" Suzuka asked happily.
"Us as well?" Azumi gulped.
"But what about Nagisa and Masahiro?" Sarah asked.
"Well we did hear our moms sing but not in their idol forms." Masahiro said.
"Even though we would love to, there's a problem." Naoki said.
"What could that be?" Nagisa asked.
"Well first of all, there are no microphones in there." Yukito said, "Nor we have our E-Pitch microphones."
"Yep and for them to do that, they need to turn into their idol forms." Hippo said.
"And for them to do that, they has to be a danger." Yuri said.
"And there's no danger." Gaito said.
"Well then how about you say your magic words right now and see if it works?" Shizuro asked.
"Eh?!" Everyone was confused.
"I don't think it's gonna work." Nikora said, "Unless a danger appears, they cannot transform."
"Let's give it a try. Just Once." Taoki pleaded.
"You never know what can happen." Saito said.
"The husbands are right." Kaito said, "Besides on Pearl Piari Party, how were you able to sing in your idol forms when there was no danger?"
The former and current mermaid princesses scratch their heads for a moment.
"Okay. We will give it a try." Sara said.
"Pink Pearl Voices!" Luchia and Azumi proclaimed.
"Mizuiro Pearl Voices!" Hanon and Yukito proclaimed.
"Green Pearl Voices!" Rina and Naoki proclaimed.
"Orange Pearl Voices!" Sara and Seira proclaimed.
And much to everyone's amazement and shock, the former and current mermaid princesses slowly transformed into their idol forms. When the girls looked at the mirror, they are shocked!
"Oh Wow!" Luchia said in awe.
"How could that happen?" Azumi gasped.
"Well ask your husbands." Taki said in shock, "We are shock too!"
"How did you know about it?" Maki was shocked.
"Well they just guessed." The butler said.
"I had a feeling this could happen." Kaito said, "Last time at Pearl Piari Party, you transformed in spite of no danger."
"See? Even Kaito knew it before!" Suzuka said happily.
"Wow. This is awesome. We are gonna here them sing." Masahiro said happily in which Rina and Naoki smiled at Masahiro.
"I haven't played the flute for a while so it's going to be really exciting." Nagisa smiled.
"Hooray! Please do." Hanon said happily.
"It will be great." Yukito smiled.
"Well then. It looks like everything is set." Rina smiled.
"Idol form check. E-Pitch Microphone check." Naoki said happily.
"I never thought we could actually do like that." Sara said.
"Me neither." Seira said.
"Is this the first time that actually happened? Or did it happen like that before?" Hippo thought and wondered.
"So Luchia. Are we ready?" Azumi asked.
"Yosh. We are all ready!" Luchia said happily before everybody said:
"PICHI PICHI VOICE LIVE START!"
And so they started singing with the tune of the Mermaid Flute played by Nagisa.
Itai hodo namida afureru shinkai no yoru o koe
GARASU no suimen te o nobaseba hikari ni todoita
Mieru mono dake ga kikoeru koe dake ga
Subete janai koto ni kidzuite
Shinjirareru mono hitotsu fueta
Ima nara tsuyoku nareru ne
Kizutsuite mata kagayaku muteki no kizuna kanjiteru
Dareka janakute kimi janakya dame
Setsunai hodo motometeru
Kiseki ga kasanareba unmei ni kawaru mitai ni
Utagai nante yaburi suteyou
Katai kizuna o shinjite
And everyone else is clapping and cheering.
Me: And what a way to end the visit to Saito's house.
Saito *shocked*: That's it?! No To be Continue?
Azumi: I don't think so. You might have destroyed most of information of your ex-wife.
*Luchia and Suzuka soon came.*
Kaito: Luchia. Any luck?
Luchia *whining*: No. Suzuka ran faster than me.
*All of us laughed.*
Me: Stay tune for Chapter 27, which will come in a week or two, cause I have a announcement to make.
Suzuka: And untill then, don't forget to review and like please.
Luchia *puzzled*: Eh? What announcement?
Me *smiling*: You will find out in the next chapter.
