Chapter 3
Hinata eventually fell asleep and stayed asleep for a while. She isn't a heavy sleeper, per say, but nobody had tried to bother her after she finished helping Komaeda with her hair.
Well, good things can't last forever, can they?
"Oh Hinata!~" the monochromatic bear sang after appearing out of Atua knows where. Hinata slowly opened her eyes only to roll them.
"If you're expecting another scream out of me, don't count on it. That was a one time thing."
"Oooo! So feisty! Are you on your period already?"
'He couldn't do that to us... Could he?' Hinata thought as she swallowed. "Why are you hear?" She said flatly as she sat up on her bed, crossing her legs and clutching a pillow over her torso.
"I just came by to say I want everyone at the beach in one hour! In your swimsuits!"
"What? Why?"
It took a moment before it hit her. 'He wants us to be uncomfortable in these weird bodies by making us show skin? Pshhh, right.'
"Yeah, no thanks. I'd rather not." She clutched the pillow closer to her absent-mindedly.
"Well, too bad! Attendance is mandatory, unless you want to become swiss cheese!" Flashbacks of Monokuma holding his shotgun appeared in Hinata's mind.
She really didn't want to die at all here, but being shot by a robotic bear was something she definitely didn't want to happen. "Fine..." She said reluctantly.
"Good to hear! Make sure you pick a swimsuit from the Rocket Punch Market!" With a giggle, he disappeared.
'How the hell does he do that!?'
~
After another drafty walk to the market, Hinata glanced over to where the swimsuits were.
"W-What the hell!? Does he expect me to wear that!?"
All the female swimsuits in stock were thin bikinis, with only tieable backs. The selection itself wasn't bad, but there wasn't any Hinata was willing to wear in public!
"Ah, seems like I wasn't the only one threatened to pick out a bathing suit, huh?"
'Why. Why is it always hi- her.' The slightly taller woman walked next to her and sighed.
"Of course, Monokuma probably did this just to see how uncomfortable we get like this. But these are just..." Komaeda picked a random swimsuit to examine it. "...to revealing. They'd barely cover anything."
"Yeah... Wait, you were threatened too?"
"Mhm. I refused twice and he pulled his gun out of nowhere. I'd much rather die at the hands of a Symbol of Hope than that despairing creature."
"I... Suppose I see what you mean. So... Uhm..." Hinata cleared her throat. "I'm just gonna..." She quickly approached the selection of swimwear. Scanning through them, she ended up picking a dark green bikini with lighter green ribbons for tying. Quickly saying goodbye to Komaeda, she left and headed for her cottage.

When Hinata arrived in her cottage, she sat done on her bed and sighed. "I... Should probably get this over with."
With that, she slowly got up from her bed and walked into the bathroom.
"As fast as possible. Don't think about it."
~
"That was... Interesting."
Hinata stood infront of her mirror, admiring how the swimsuit looked on her. "Honestly, I think I look decent in this."
'Wait what the hell?' Brushing that weird self comment aside, Hinata made her way to the beach.
As soon as she got there, she made a terrible discovery.
Pale bodies with black bikinis are a thing.
And damn, are they hot.
