chapter thirty one

i get on all fours. "meow, meow~ i'm a loser cat with a gambling addiction. i lost to the student council, and now i'm three million yen in the hole!" i stand up, slowly walking towards kenma's spot on the couch. "how do you think i should get it back, hm?" i slightly lean down to kenma, lifting his chin up with my index finger as i bring my face closer to his. "i think i should gamble more.. and i want to. would you like to be my patron, pretty please~?"

i turn around to see all of the boys faces red. oh shit, i forgot this skirt was a little too short. i adjust it and turn back to kenma. "how was that?" i cross my arms.

"i.. did you practice that?"

"no. i actually recently rewatched kakegurui. you kinda gave me the perfect dare.." i go back over to makki and sit on his leg again.

"ch-chinami-chan.." oikawa looks at me like i'm crazy while his face flushes red.

"yes?"

he runs off to the bathroom.

um, okay.

the game continues until everyone has spun once. i ended up getting dared, once again, by nishinoya. i now have to act like yumeko for the rest of the party. i'm definitely gonna forget.

"okay, let's play the next game!" nishinoya exclaims and looks to tanaka, who's holding a hat. i get off of makki's leg as the game ends and oikawa comes back from the bathroom. before starting the next game, we eat some food we ordered during truth or dare.

"murder mystery is next! everyone pick a role from the hat." tanaka walks around the couches and every one picks a piece of folded paper. i pick out mine and make sure nobody is looking before i unfold it. detective, sweet. the paper reads..

'you are detective 007. it's you and the other detectives job to find out who the murderers are. collect key information that can help in the trial.

p.s. you may want to find out who the other detectives are ;)'

"everyone got a role?" tanaka says. we all nod and he pulls out a piece of paper himself. i watch as his eyes slightly widen before he sits down. that's suspicious.

"there are 3 murderers and 10 detectives among us." nishinoya explains the game. "everyone will scatter around and making 'convo. the murderers will have ten minutes to 'kill someone,' basically bring them to a different room, until we all regroup. once doing so, the unknown detectives and others will put their heads together, without letting anyone find out they're the detectives, and figure out the murderers. if they guess wrong, oh well. if you're suspected as a murderer, you're out. got it?"

damn, that was a lot to take in.

we all nod and get up from the couch.

"chinami-chan, what's your role?" oikawa follows me over to the dining room.

"why would i tell you..?"

"i thought we were friends!"

i look at him, unamused. oikawa looks at me in disbelief and runs off, probably to bug iwaizumi.

"yumeko." i hear a voice behind me. i turn around to see kenma, who comes closer to me.

"ew, don't call me that."

"chinami, then."

"what.."

"can i talk to you?"

"go for it."

"you're a detective right?" he whispers.

i look at him blankly. how can i trust him?

kenma lets out a sigh and pulls out his note. he's 003.

"007." i pull out my note as well and show him.

"let's work together."

"okay.."

we walk over to the kitchen. i see mattsun blowing out smoke rings from the vape next to makki, yamamoto and tanaka. holy shit, i didn't know he could do that. it's so fascinating.

"heyy, chinami! kenma!" mattsun greets us.

"how'd you do the rings?"

"tanaka here taught me." mattsun slaps tanaka's chest with the back of his hand.

"can you teach me?" i look to tanaka and put my hand in my pocket, looking for my pen. where the fuck is it? oh, yeah. these pockets are fucking fake.

"here." mattsun holds his down to me. i lightly pour and take it, since i have no clue where mine would be by now.

"sure! just make an 'o' shape with your mouth and tap your cheek. that's what i do- and kinda blow air.." he demonstrates.

seems easy enough. i nod and do exactly what he just did, creating smoke rings.

"oh shit." i say as i hand the pen back to mattsun.

"dude, first try?" he takes the vape back and hits it.

"that looked so badass." makki says while looking at me in awe.

"hey, ten minutes are up! come back to the living room!" nishinoya calls from the kitchen doorway.

that was way quick. we nod and go back to the living room, i go to the table carrying the pens first though because i did not come here to play. i grab a blueberry ice and slip it into the top of my thigh highs so i won't lose it again.

"alright, who's got info?" kuroo says as i sit down next to makki.

"first off, who's missing?" i say looking around the room.

"no one from nekoma." yaku says.

"no one from aoba johsai." iwaizumi says.

"no one from karasuno." asahi says.

"so, the murderers played it safe.." oikawa sits back and crosses his arms.

"come on guys. the game won't be fun like this." kai says.

"new rule! there has to be atleast one person killed or someone will be eliminated randomly. i'll bump the time up to twenty minutes just this once." nishinoya shoots up from the couch. we all agree and head off for the next twenty minutes, kenma and i still working together. walking around the house, i spot kunimi pushing asahi down a hallway.

"wait." i lightly grab kenma's arm as he's about to continue walking. i point to the hallway.

kenma looks to me with a small smirk. "well, we've got our intel."

i nod in agreement.

"chinami-chan~" i hear the only voice i didn't wanna hear call out to me. i turn around to see oikawa.

"what."

"mattsun and makki are looking for you for some reason.. they said something about rings? are they talking about our rings?"

"no.. where are they?"

"kitchen!"

"okay, i'm out." i leave kenma and oikawa and go to the kitchen.
