*Tsune's POV*

After a while of helping Leon practice, we sat on the bleachers and I held my hair out of the way to let my neck cool off a bit. "It's pretty warm out here," I said and I looked towards the sky for a bit.

"Yeah, it always is,"

"I'm not used to working with no waves, so it's a bit new to me right now,"

"Hey, Tsune!" I looked to see Mahiru and Hiyoko walking over. I then got an idea and grinned.

"Hey, girls!" I exclaimed. I then got up and headed over to them. "Mahiru, can I borrow you for a minute?" I asked before looking back at Leon. "I'll see you later, okay, Leon?" I exclaimed and then I began dragging Mahiru away by the arm.

"W-Wait! I didn't even get the chance to say anything!" She exclaimed and I rounded the corner to the school, waving back at Leon and once we rounded the corner, I smiled and let Mahiru go.

"Hey, Mahiru," I said and she seemed confused. "I need a little favor. Would you be okay with helping me with a little something?" I asked and she became curious.

"Help with what?"

"Getting something like this as an actual photo," I said with a grin as I held up a drawing I made of Nagito, Mondo, Kokichi, and Angelica. "Angelica with them individually is fine too," I said with a smile.

"Aren't the other two aside from Nagito basically in different classes entirely?" She asked and I smiled.

"That's where the beach comes in," I said with a smile.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait," I blinked curiously. "So then, the beach thing was a setup sort of thing that you and Nagito came up with?"

I blinked. "Actually, I had no idea about Nagito requesting it as well. I just got asked by Kazuichi and I just thought I'd be able to spend my time in the open ocean for a little while. So, win-win on that part," I said with a smile.

"I'm starting to think you're too carefree to think of yourself or anything, if a guy asked, then shouldn't it raise red flags for you?" I deadpanned, glancing away.

"Only if Teruteru was the one who requested it. . .I would've said that would've been a hell no, but since it was Kazuichi, I feel more comfortable about saying yes," I said simply and Mahiru sighed.

"Maybe be more or less not so welcome about the idea of that if you're gonna want to avoid getting hurt," She said and I smiled.

"It'll be fine, Mahiru! Besides, plenty of us will be at the beach, likely!" I exclaimed with a grin and Mahiru smiled a bit.

"Then I'll do it," She said with a smile and I giggled a bit with a smile.

"Great!" I exclaimed with a grin. "See you inside then," I said and I went to go inside.

"Wait a second!" Mahiru called and she ran to catch up with me and we walked side-by-side. "How exactly did you get Nagito to change his mind and let two other classes come?"

"I just showed him this," I showed her the paper and she sweatdropped with a slightly pale look.

"Oh. . .that would explain. . ." She said and I grinned, proudly. "But. . .did you have to explain it as a comic page. . .?" She asked and I blinked curiously.

"Would you rather I have explained it as math?" I asked and she glanced at me.

"Yeah. . .I like your artistic style attempt, but don't you think it's a little childish that you did it this way?" She said and I felt like an arrow struck through me twice. Once at 'attempt' and the second at 'childish'. I then curled up in the corner and I pouted.

"I know it looked childish and it was an attempt, but it was a last second out-together, so I couldn't be as artistic as I usually am. . ." I said and she put her hands up a bit.

"Hey, I wasn't trying to mean anything by it," I smiled and stood up quickly.

"I'm sure you didn't!" I exclaimed and she sweatdropped.

"It really makes me wonder exactly exactly how you are. . ." She said while I giggled, sticking my tongue out af her.

"No worries about that, Mahiru," I said, hugging her. "Now, maybe we should go ahead and go get some cookies, don'tcha think?"

"Uhm, okay,"

After a few days, it was early morning and I had a stack of envelopes in my hands and I slid a corresponding one under each door as I went by them. I was quiet when I was walking, since I've had practice with walking through halls. I eventually put the last envelope under the door and I went back to my room, until my stomach growled and I immediately wrapped my arms around myself in an attempt to muffle it.

"Damn it. . ." I muttered and then I headed to the kitchen to get something to munch on. "Might as well grab something to eat while I work on making food for the beach tomorrow!" I exclaimed once I was inside of the main building. I eventually got to the kitchen and I went to working on making meals upon meals and setting them up at the tables and I worked on having a few candlesticks along the tables, by measuring how far the light would reach with each and having it to where they would sometimes barely light where they were.

After doing the meals and candles, I worked on setting up different drinks. Coffee, sodas, tea, juice, protein shakes, slushies, etc. I went for every drink accessible and set it all up for everyone. I know I made everything I could possibly make, but it seemed like it would be something I'd be able to do. . . I wasn't too thrilled about the fact I was up all night doing it, but if it was to make everyone happy, I was glad to do so.

"That should be good," I said with a smile and I sighed. "That took longer than I thought. . ." I said with a smile and when I looked out the window, the sun was rising and I groaned. "Dang it, now everyone's gonna be awake. . ." I said and I smiled, walking through the main building and when I got out of the main building, I went to a small restaurant and ordered a simple salad and maybe a couple of sugar and snickerdoodle cookies. And chocolate chip cookies too.

Hey, I love my sweets when I can have them! It's just between cookies and chocolate, it's most difficult for me to choose. I eventually went back to my dorm and began eating my food and then I heard a knock.

"Hey, Tsune," I heard Leon and I blinked, standing up and I got to the door and opened it. "Oh, you're awake?"

"Barely, but I should be fine," I said with a small smile.

"Okay, what exactly were you doing all night?" He asked, as he seemed to cross his arms.

"I was out." I hopped slightly, grinning at him. "Besides, I was just planning a few things,"

"Like what?" He asked and I giggled a bit.

"Come on, silly, I can't spoil anything like that!" I exclaimed as I then began to leave. "Now come on," I said and I walked out of the room with Leon behind me. I locked my bedroom door behind me and then headed back with Leon to the cafeteria. We had a casual conversation before reaching the cafeteria.

"Who the heck cooked that much food. . .?" Leon asked as everyone seemed to be enjoying the food and I giggled with a smile.

"It might not be known, but. . .it's still nice to see everyone happy like this," I said with a smile and Leon looked at me for a moment before chuckling.

"You should give yourself a break, Tsune. Besides, now it looks like you're just trying too hard." He said with a smile and I giggled.

"Everyone still enjoys it, so why don't you go ahead and eat, Leon?" I asked with a smile.

"I guess I could. . ." He said with a smile before I heard Kazuichi yell.

"Hey, Tsune! Why don't you have some? The food tastes great!" Kazuichi called and I smiled a bit more.

"Alright, guess that's my call. Anyway," I looked over at Leon. "It's also a great chance to socialize with others too, Leon, so give it a shot, okay?" I said before joining to sit next to Kazuichi.

I noticed Leon go sit next to Mondo and Chihiro and I smiled a bit before joining the conversation next to me.

"Go ahead and stuff your face, Tsune!" Ibuki exclaimed, shoving a meat kebab into my mouth and I paled a bit while sweating a bit.

"Hey, don't just shove it in her face like that! She needs to taste it first!" Teruteru exclaimed and I paled a bit more before putting my hand where Ibuki's was and I let go of the food from my mouth and smiled nervously.

"I like your enthusiasm, Ibuki, but maybe try to refrain from forcefully stuffing my face with a meat kebab," I said with a smile and she chuckled.

"I'll try! No guarentees, though," I sighed, tiredly.

"Figures. . ." I said, tiredly and she smiled before continuing to eat.

Akane was already too busy helping herself with maybe half of the food on the table. Gundham was enjoying the food with the Devas as well as everyone else.

"By the way," I looked at Kazuichi. "Where were you?" He asked and I smiled nervously.

"I was up all night working on something at the dorm."

"I can already tell you're lying," I yelped as I looked to see a boy who was maybe an inch shorter than Angelica and he had purple hair and eyes with a white suit and checkered scarf.

"How long were you there?!" I exclaimed in shock and Kazuichi screamed in shock.

"Yeah, who the heck are you anyway?!" Kazuichi asked and I calmed down from my shock.

"I'm one of the newer tranfers here. Name's Kokichi Oma! I'm the Ultimate Surpreme Leader," I sweatdropped.

"That makes me worried. . ." I muttered and Nagito chuckled.

"There's nothing to be worried about," Nagito said and I looked at him.

"You're one to talk. . ." I said simply and Nagito chuckled.

"And why's that?"

"You're the Lucky Student. For all we know, he could be trying to kill you and you'd probably survive out of pure luck," I said simply, taking a drink from a root beer. "For the rest of us, I'm not sure whether to be concerned or not," I said with a sweatdrop.

"I suppose that's a good point," Nagito said and I paled a bit.

That's. . .somehow. . . even more worrying. . . I thought and I chuckled a bit.

"Anyway, let's continue eating!" Kokichi took his seat next to Angelica and she began to socialize with him a bit. Mahiru took a quick picture and then hid her camera quickly before continuing to eat. I smiled and went about eating, myself. After eating, everyone seemed happy and went to class.

When we got to class, I was sitting in my usual seat and Ms. Yukizome was going over different activities planned for the week. The beach event was going to be tomorrow. I was excited for it, honestly. I had set plans with Mahiru and everything for it as well.

The beach was going to be fun!

*Haruka's POV*

"Mother," I looked at Monophanie and she had a nervous look. "Is something the matter?"

"Hm. . .well. . .now that you ask, Monophanie," I said, while staring up at the ceiling. "There's been a little something bothering me, but I just think it's from not killing somebody for a long time. . .It's much more difficult for me to be the Good Girl Haruka anymore. I'm sure your brothers and father understand,"

"D-Does that mean you're. . .wanting to kill someone, Mother?!" She exclaimed in fear and I smiled.

"Yes, but it's definitely not going to be you children or your father. In fact, I actually think if I were to kill anyone, I kinda want it to be the girl who claims to be the Ultimate Despair," I said with a sweet smile. "And if there were anyone to hurt you or your brothers," My expression became dark with a smile. "They'll answer to me for their crime," I said simply and Monophanie paled a bit.

"U-Uhm. . .if Father were to hurt us. . .then would you. . .?"

"Of course I would, cupcake," I said with no hesitation.

"B-But, Father only has one body, so if he dies-!"

"His body's durable enough to withstand a nuclear explosion, dear." I said simply and I rubbed her head a bit. "So, no need to worry your cute little head about such a thing, Phanie," I said with a smile. "Just go ahead and relax for now, okay? Mama's gonna be staying right here for now," I said with a smile, as I hugged Monophanie and she hugged me back while resting her eyes and I began to pet the top of her head.

*Tsune's POV*

Once I got to the beach the next morning, it was vacant of anyone outside of those of us in the three classes. "Hey, Tsune! Come on and join us!" Kazuichi called, grinning and I smiled.

"Okay!" I exclaimed with a grin before running over to meet with him and the others he was in the water with.
