Ones Dearest

Housepet 3

The housepet system has always been here at Hyakkou Private Academy, but it was never this bad until my sister became president. I don't like how things are here, I wanna help Mary in any way I can. I look over at Mary, She is sitting at a table alone and sulking.
A girl at another table suddenly shouted, "Hey mittens! Got a big coffee spill over here, come on, double time!" I watch Mary get up and go over to the janitors closet and get a rag out. She left the room and came back a moment later with a wet rag.
A sudden loud voice emerges through our classroom. "Hey come check it out! Itsuki from the student council is gonna gamble!" "A girl stands up and asks, "against who?" They guy in the hall responds with, " You're never gonna believe it, Yumeko Jabami." Everyone that was sitting is now running through the door, except for Mary. I should stay and watch Mary like my sister said to do, but I wanna go see the gamble. It takes me a minute to decide on what to do, but I come to a decision and decide to go watch the gamble.
In the end itsuki ended up winning the first round, then Yumeko figured out how Itsuki was cheating and asked to play once more, and well, Yumeko ended up winning. While I was watching the gamble I also saw Sayaka there which was unusual since she doesn't like gambling unless it was the president who was gambling. After the gamble was over I make my way to the student council room and a couple minutes later Sayaka shows up and tells us what happened. I guess that explains why Sayaka was there, my sister probably told Sayaka to keep an eye on Yumeko Jabami.
                  I make my way out of the room and I go look for Mary, I was making my way through one of the hallways when I hear a voice, I look down the flight of stairs to my right and I see a boy talking to someone. The other voice, was a girls. I listened in for a moment. The only thing I heard them say is something about where Yumeko could gamble some more. In a couple minutes I find Mary in the Traditional Culture Research Club.
    Shes having a official match with Yuriko, she seems to be struggling, I can't stand here and watch her like this so I make my way out of the room and go to the student council room. I looked around the room and remembered that I've never seen Kaede, Sayaka, or Runa ever gamble. I wonder if they even knew how to gamble, and if they did I wonder if they would cheat.
A couple minutes later, The President, Sayaka, Runa, and I were walking down a flight of stairs, the same stairs I heard the boy and girl talking on, then we walked until we reached the Traditional Culture Research Club.
When we walked in I could see Yumeko and Yuriko gambling, "poor Mary, I bet she lost." Yuriko looked like she was panicking. She was so pale and I could see sweat dripping from her face. The dealer revealed where the swords landed. One of the swords that were in a pointed up position landed on 10 which was death. The other one landed on seven which was life. Yumeko betted one of the swords would land on 24 and it didn't. The dealer then said, "Yuriko bet five chips on life, so she now has 195 chips in total. Yumeko lost 115 chips, with 310 million yen...Yuriko is the winner. My sister said a few words to Yuriko and a couple to Yumeko and then with that we left the room. Now Mary and Yumeko are both housepets.
