CHAPTER 6, DISCUSSIONS AND THE LEGACY OF THE HERO

The Capricorn key had a golden color with goat horns on the bow which held a beautiful black gem which had the Capricorn emblem embedded into it and connected to a golden stem with a goat head with horns on the bit. I had adjusted the glasses to be similar to shades with a light blue tinted to it. Yuri handed me a bracelet with a large circle with an indent in it, it showed that it was divided into a pie, it had a single piece of the pie on it. "What is this Yuri?" I asked her.

"The Moonlet, it allows you to teleport here and back to where you originally were, as you can see it's divided into fourteen pieces in correspondence to the fourteen facilities." She said. "When you collect another island the manager shall hand you a piece to go here, please do use it well for only you can use it."

"I see-" my sentence is cut by a loud bird sound and what I saw was a phoenix. I see, Phoenix the phoenix.

"Hey, my name is Phoenix." The bird who landed beside Yuri said before taking human form, with hair that shined like flames tied in a low ponytail, amber eyes and white skin, in a red shirt with a simple black jacket and brown jeans and black shoes a man stood before me. He then took a kiss and smiled. "Take care of me Master. Huh? The spell isn't working?"

"Ah, I know why that's happening. Give me the Medium please." I said and he handed me a pin with the bird fashioned on a golden ring. "Familiars created by the first Hero, abandon your old form and reincarnate, under the name of the new Hero, let your true power awaken. Open, Gate of the Phoenix Familiar, Phoenix."

"What's this?" Phoenix asked as a light wrapped around him, with a clear blue light his ponytail was let down, his red shirt now turned into a white dress shirt and a his jacket changed into a sweater vest, his jeans turning to black pants and his shoes into boots. On his waist a belt with throwing knives now hangs. "I like this new style... yup, I like it a lot."

"Glad to here it." I said as I received the key which had a bronze color with a Phoenix-style on it's bow and a red gem with the Phoenix constellation on the gem, the tip had split appeared with two bits on it that were similar to a Phoenix's wing on flame.

"Laters..." he said with a smile and disappeared, this guy, he seems to have a carefree personality.

"Master, what shall I do now?" Yuri asked as she looked at me.

"Well, I plan to return home... err... I guess I don't have any idea how to go home." I said as I realized it.

"The teleportation circle shall send you home, master, may I please stay by your side and serve you?" She answered me.

"Ehh, is it fine to leave this place?" I asked her.

"It's fine, it is made to be invisible from the ground, and it runs mandatory maintenance on it's own. I simple work as the one who greets the visitor." She answered. "I also have the ability to return here in case of emergencies."

"Okay then." I answered her and offered her my hand as we returned to the teleportation circle.

After activating the circle we were sent back to where I had been earlier. I see Apus has been waiting here for me so I allowed her to board the bird and we went back to the castle. I called out to the four nobles before I descended and asked them to gather in the main hall for a quick meeting. But when I was in the main hall it seems that the guild embers were also dragged with them along with my fiancees and little brother.

We all sat down around a large table and I told them about what I had found. "I see... it's unbelievable that such a place existed, but then again we are talking about the Tsuki Family Founder so I'm not that surprised anymore." Hoshi-san said with a sigh.

"That woman beside you, is she another bride?" Neph asked and I could feel cold glares from my fiancee group.

"I wouldn't count her as one, she doesn't seem to be human after all." I told him and the air calmed down. "Anyways, I was hoping we could keep her in the castle, just until I head home."

"Haru, wouldn't it be difficult for you at home if you had this many people there?" Aria asked.

"True but I was actually thinking of buying a new home." I said.

"Haru-kun, there is a mansion owned by your family on one of the floating islands, it's fairly large but not too large and you can all live there." Himari-san said. "It's up to you what to do..."

"I really don't want to settle down yet, I was hoping I could come and go from here... I had thought about it long and well but I don't want to be king yet." I answered her. "For now I want to enjoy my youth and go on adventures with my friends from the guild, I've already made up my mind to succeed the throne we the time comes but for now I wanted to live my life. But I will visit every now and then, I'll be willing to do a few paper works as well as long as I can help out. I know you've already been doing this for a while now but please continue to help the nation."

"I thought you'd say something like that." Tsubaki-san said as he came inside. "Well, I told you didn't I?"

"Very well, but with that in mind why not establish a diplomatic relationship with the nation you are living in?" Hoshi-san said.

"I agree, this might be something my father will be willing to do." Ella said clamping her hands. "I can act as mediator and our engagement can be announced and marriage can be held. The political marriage could be used as a bride."

"Weddings, ah I'll help with the preparations!" Ginga-san said with a smile.

"Stop!" I said with force. "There won't be a wedding."

"Why not!?" The four nobles exclaimed.

"The master must be planning to wait till all fifteen wives have gathered." Yuri said with a straight face.

"Ehh!? How do you know that?!" I asked her.

"Horologium, when it served under my master, said that one day, his descendant would become someone who could change the world. He would be a great Hero, and guide the Aerial Isles. He would have fifteen wives... and such." She answered. "For that purpose, the Hero, Ryusei Tsuki made Zodiac into fifteen islands."

"I see... does that means Haru-kun will marry fifteen wives?" Hoshi-san asked.

"I suppose." I answered him. "At any rate, what I want to know is more about my family."

"Ahh... that's a hard one. Most of the things we know are just what your family told us, we don't know what's at the bottom at all." Riku-san answered. "You'd have to sip down into the soup of mystery that most of us just barely skim."

"I don't get it." I answered him.

"I mean you have to dig down the deep burrow." He answered. "Sail the seas without a map, compass or any way of guiding youself, get it?"

"I kinda do and kinda don't at the same time." I answered him.

"I think he means you have to dig deep within yourself, since you're probably the only who will find anything." Camilla answered.

"Ah, I get it." I answered as I realized what she meant. "But I don't recall them saying anything. Maybe there skme in the other Familiars sealed memories?"

"Master, if I may, the Library might hold something about it." Yuri said raising her hand. "It hold most of the records of the Tsuki Family as well as personal things such as books, journals and even diaries written by your family."

"And the coordinates for the teleportation circle?" I asked her.

"I don't know." She said.

"Ahaha... why am I not surprised?" I made a sarcastic laugh.

"Why don't we send out scouts to search for them, after which we will contact you if we find anything." Tsubaki-san offered.

"Is it fine?" I asked him.

"We don't really have much to do." He said so I gave him my okay and thanks as well.

After our meeting when we were about to leave, a soldier came in saying that a noble wishes to speak to the four head nobles about something. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
