Summary

Yumeko and several Student Council members are invited to an auction. They seem to be able to profit, but all of them end up losing more than they gain. Throughout the game, they realize that more people, including Rei have been secretly participating. It also turns out that Rei was behind the auction to begin with and is now unveiling her plan.

Plot

Yumeko, Saotome and the other students receive invitations to a "Hundred Votes Auction". The only ones to accept the invitation are Yumeko Jabami, Ryota Suzui, Mary Saotome, Yuriko Nishinotoin, Midari Ikishima and Ririka Momobami. Yumeko completely ignores Midari Ikishima. Rei Batsubami is the auctioneer and Inaho Yamato is to be the Election Committee monitor. The bidding for the first lot goes quickly, with Saotome winning on a bid of 80 votes, however the unseen sponsor collected 130 votes from the bids. The second round goes to Nishinotoin, again with a winning bid of 80 votes. After the third round, Saotome realizes that Rei Batsubami is also bidding, and she forces Rei to stop bidding. However, Yumeko then suggests that Rei is both the sponsor and auctioneer which is apparently not against the rules. Yumeko then has three billion yen brought into the room, and challenges the real Rei Batsubami to an all-or-nothing gamble, and Rei accepts, removing her glasses, wig and gloves to reveal her true self.
