I assume you're playing 02, though it should be the same for II. The menus might just be named differently. Did a quick check and it worked for me.

Make sure you're flushed out of Maria's lab and you interacted with the locked door south of her lab. Nay should only spawn then anyways.

On the nay helping route, you'll have to help her get the frog earrings first (I believe you'll just get the info directly if you bully her). These are found in the same room you encountered her after she asks you to help her find them. Return them and she'll tell you about where she dropped the key.

After you get the info that she dropped the key in the lake, you'll get the option to Search: key in the lake. Do this in 6 different squares and they'll talk about the evaporation fruit. Try to buy it in the item-store then go to the bar and ask then talk owner then buy uroroon. This should get you the fruit.

Go to the lake and use the evaporation fruit from the camp menu. Then just start searching again and find the key.
