Summary

When Ryota Suzui loses a game of Poker to Mary Saotome and becomes housepet, he’s now treated as less than a person and is even used as her footstool. Shortly after, Yumeko Jabami enrolls and with Suzui showing her around the school, is challenged by Mary for a "Rock-Papers-Scissors" gamble where Jabami leaps head first into the gambling nightmare that is Hyakkaou Private Academy. What starts as a friendly game quickly scales up to putting 10 million yen on the line, with the loser risking becoming a housepet.

Starting to make waves at the school, Yumeko is challenged by Itsuki Sumeragi of the Student Council to a gamble of Double Memory and afterwards seeks out a gamble with a second council member, Yuriko Nishinotouin.
