The Konomashīs heard a knock on the door. Kotēji lifts its floor tiles, telling the Akiko's siblings that Akiko and two new people are at the door. Akiro got up and started walking to the door. "I got it." He said. Kotēji opened its front door, revealing Akiko, Luca, and Alberto. "Oh, hey, Akiko." Akiro said kindly.
"Hey!" Akiko replied.
"Who's that, Akiko?" Alberto whispered.
"He's one of my Twin Brothers, Akiro." Akiko said.
"One of your Twin Brothers?" Luca added.
"Yes." Akiko responded as they walked into the Kotēji. Kotēji lifted Luca and Alberto by raising it's floor tiles, welcoming them to the No Ie Konomashī. "Whoaaa! Hahaha!" Alberto hollered. Luca was just as excited as Alberto. A few moments later, Kotēji settled down as it put Luca and Alberto back down. Akiko laughed as she continued talking. "I have eleven siblings that were born the same year, month, day, and time as me, and I have five younger siblings." Akiko explained.
"Eccezionale!" Alberto replied. Aiko walked up to Akiko and the young Sea Boys. "Hey, Akiko, who are they?" She asked.
"Aiko, this is Luca, and this is Alberto." Akiko explained as she pointed to Luca and Alberto.
"Nice to meet ya, guys! My name's Aiko!" Aiko exclaimed.
"Nice to meet you, too." Luca said as Alberto agreed. Just then, Akiko's dad, Akihiko and Akiko's mom, Atsuko, entered the room. "Hey, mom! Hey, dad!" Akiko said.
"Oh! Akiko! Back so soon?" Atsuko didn't expect Akiko to leave the Ocean so early.
"Yeah, while I was there, I met these two. Luca, Alberto, this is my mom and dad, Atsuko and Akihiko, the King and Queen of Family." Akiko said. Alberto was dumbfounded. "So, you all are Princes and Princesses?" He asked, curious.
"You got it, governor!" Akito blurted from across the room.
"Where did they come from?" Akihiko questioned.
"I met them at the Ocean, they were trapped underneath a net." Akiko explained.
"Oh, that's horrible." Atsuko replied.
"I told them they could stay here until they were ready to go back home." Akiko said.
"That's great! Then, they'd have enough time to recover!" Akito blurted. Akiko smiled warmly as she nodded.
"You two are very welcome to stay here until you recover, and you're welcome to visit whenever you please." Atsuko said.
"Thank you, ma'am." Luca replied.
"Sì, lo apprezziamo davvero." Alberto agreed.
"You're most welcome. You can call me Atsuko." Atsuko said kindly.
"Okay!" Alberto exclaimed. Atsuko nodded. "You'll get a chance to get to know all of us when we sit down, but for now, you two can get settled in." Akihiko said. Luca and Alberto obliged as they both nodded. "I'll show you to your room." Akiko offered.
"Thank you!" Luca replied. Akiko nodded as she lead Luca and Alberto to their room. As Luca and Alberto got situated, Alberto was curious of something. "Hey, what language do you speak?" He asked Akiko.
"Guess." Akiko replied. Luca and Alberto shared mischievous expressions as they accepted the challenge. "Let's see. Portuguese?" Luca asked.
"Nope, try again!" Akiko replied.
"Italian?" Alberto added.
"Nope!" Akiko giggled.
"German?" Luca questioned.
"Colder." Akiko replied.
"Korean?" Alberto asked.
"Mm, nope!" Akiko said. "I'll give you a hint. It's generally spoken in the continent we're in right now, East Asia. We are also located in the city, Tokyo, which is located in the country that starts with J, ends with N. Five letters" Akiko finished.
"Thai?" Luca asked.
"Getting warmer!" Akiko replied.
"Taiwanese!" Luca exclaimed again.
"Warmer!" Akiko said.
"Vietnamese!" Luca replied.
"Warmer!" Akiko said as she slightly shook her head.
"Chinese!" Alberto blurted.
"Close, but no!" Akiko replied.
"JAPANESE!" Luca and Alberto hollered in sync.
"Yeah!" Akiko exclaimed. "You got it, sweetpeas!" She exclaimed again as she winked. "The language I speak is Japanese!"
"Wow! È fantastico!" Alberto replied as he gave a chef's kiss.
"Mhm! Mhm! Mhm! Mhm! Mhm!" Luca agreed. Akiko laughed. "ありがとうございました!" She said. It was then Akiko's turn to try guessing the language Luca and Alberto speak. "Lemme guess. Are you two Italian?" She asked. Luca and Alberto's jaws dropped. "Are you psychic?!" Alberto replied.
"Nope! Just call it knowing!" Akiko laughed. Luca tried not to laugh. "We're also from Portorosso, which, yes, is in Italy." Alberto said.
"I'll keep that in mind." Akiko replied. Just then, they heard a knock on the door.
