Beach House

You sighed, pushing open the door to a building near the ocean. It was comforting, the ocean. Calm. 

As you stepped into the building, you gasped in surprise. You had thought it was a beach house, due to its close proximity to the ocean, but... it seemed to be celebrity-style.

Too fancy for your tastes.

"Ha, hey!" A gruff voice cheered from beside you, and you turned to see Kazuichi. "Isn't this awesome!? It's like a celebrity's pad or something!"

You blinked, still surprised at his sudden appearance.

He paused, knitting his brows. "W-well, she shower's out of order, but the ambience is nice... and the fridge is stocked with loads of drinks! Hehe, plus, the beach outside feels so private! It's awesome!!"

Letting out a chuckle, you smiled. "I didn't peg you for the type of guy to like a peaceful beach!"

He laughed, holding up a thumb's up. "Compared to urban seas full of trash and debris, this place is completely different!"

"Okay, makes sense. But, Kazuichi, this is an island. Anywhere we go is a private beach."

"Hey, hey!" He groaned, palming his forehead. "Don't shatter my dreams like that! More importantly, why don't we splash around at this private beach?"

He stopped, practically drooling as he spoke. "I wonder if Miss Sonia would come too... I wanna see Miss Sonia in a bikini!"

"You can't!" A robotic voice hollered out, and you both looked over to see Monomi.

"WHoah!" He screeched. "It's here!! And why not!? Are you trying to interfere with my love affair with Miss Sonia!?"

"I... don't think you have one..." You mumbled.

Monomi shook her head. "Changing in the beach house is prohibited! It would be bad if shameful peeking occurred!!"

You nodded. "So changing here isn't allowed, but we can go to the beach, right?"

Kazuichi huffed. "Fine, then I'll come here after changing. I'm never gonna give her up!"

"Anyway," Monomi sighed. "Breaking the rules is not allowed. Also, playing is fine, but focus on your studies too!"

"Wh-where!?" Monokuma chimed. "Where's the rulebreaker!? I'll beat the crap out of em', no questions asked!!"

"AHHHH!" You screamed. "Is that a fucking gun!?"

"Kyaaaaaaaah! He's here!" Monomi squeaked.

Monokuma breathed heavily. "Rulebreakers will be shot to death, obviously. That's just common sense."

"I-it's really not!" You nervously hummed.

Kazuichi stepped back. 

"Common sense!? Where!??!? It's not like we're under a military dictator-ship!!!"

"Aghh, I really want to shoot something... I know it's not allowed, but I really want to shoot something right now!!"

Monomi frantically waved her arms. "C-control yourself!!"

"I have iron willpower," Monokuma began. "So I'll endure it... no matter the cost... until the day someone breaks the rules!!"

Monokuma disappeared after that, leaving everyone in stunned silence.

"U-um... as you can see..." Monomi began. "It's very dangerous... so please refrain from changing in the beach house..."

"U-um, y-yeah..." You hummed. "Yeah, g-got it, Plush Toy..."

Monomi disappeared as well.

"Wow.," Kazuichi groaned. "That was... really bizarre... Man, they're annoying..."

You nodded. "Yeah... I feel tired all of a sudden..." But maybe it was also because of your diner rendezvous.

You perked up, a thought popping into your mind. "Hey! That reminds me!" You started. "I had a question to ask you!"

"Hm? He hummed. "What?"

"W-well, it's about Nagito..."

His face twisted in panic. "Uggh...!?"

"No one has seen him all day. Do you know where he is?"

"I-I don't know... S-seriosuly don't ask me! Hey, who cares about that crazy-ass bastard!?" He snapped. "We need to search this island first and foremost! There might be a way to escape!" 

You raised a brow at him as he continued. "So let's just end all annoying talk right here! That's it! All done!"

There was a long moment of silence before pushed him back with your hands. "What the fuck, man!? You obviously know something so, fess up!"

He shook his head. "N-no! I really d-don't! Let's talk about something el-"

"I swear to god, I'll slam your fucking head against the wall!"

"Hey, get off o' me! I- I don't know what happened to Nagito!"

"So you admit you know something happened, huh?

His eyes widened. "Wh-what!? no! I never said that!" 

And without hesitation, you grabbed the side of his head, slamming it against the wall of the beach house. 

"Ow, goddammit, you're insane!" he shrieked.

"And? Just tell me where Nagito is, fucker!"

"Fine, fine! W-we tied him up!!"

"Who the hell's we?"

"Nekomaru, Fuyuhiko, and I! We tied the crazy fucker up!"

"..." You let go of him, and stepped back, your eyes widening in shock as the boy rubbed the side of his head. "... Fuyuhiko was involved...?"

Kazuichi nodded, glaring at you. "We did it this morning..."

"Ah, Y/n, Kazuichi!" A soft voice chimed. 

You slowly turned around to face Chiaki.

There was a long awkward silence before she spoke. "... Did I interrupt?"

You shook your head. "No, what is it?"

"... Um, I'm letting everyone else know too, but can you come to the ancient ruins on this island right away? You can, right? Right away, okay. Hurry up."

And with that, she turned around and left.

You sent Kazuichi a glare, before letting your gaze soften. "Thanks for finally telling me. And... sorry about your head and all."

He didn't answer, only continuing to glare at you as you left after Chiaki, heading to the ruins.
