## The Girl is Human Again

**The Girl is Human Again** is the eighth chapter of Kakegurui written by Homura Kawamoto and illustrated by Toru Naomura.

## Summary

As the game of Indian Poker continues, Jun Kiwatari continues his abuse of Nanami Tsubomi, but Yumeko Jabami provides a chance... a chance for Nanami to get back at Jun!

## Plot

The chapter begins with Sayaka Igarashi noting how the gamble has been reduced to the best bluffer. The gamble continues on with Nanami Tsubomi having a seven-eight suit. Jun Kiwatari tells her to play this round, and she tries to call, but Jun screams at her, telling her to raise not call. Mary Saotome and Yumeko Jabami notice this and simultaneously fold. Jun then recounts the current chip total which shows Yumeko in first, him in second, Mary in third, and Nanami in last, and notices that if he continues on like this, he will become a Housepet. The next turn then begins, and Jun calls one of Mary's chips. Mary then guesses that if he is calling one of her chips, his hand must be a suit, but the numbers are low, which is correct. Mary then wins with a 2-pair.

Turn nine then begins, and Jun is in third place, and if he doesn't change the ranks, he'll be in debt for 50 million yen. Jun's last minutes attempts to change the ranking is forcing Nanami to bet Yumeko's chips so that he can win them. Nanami calls one Yumeko chip, Yumeko calls one of Jun's chips, and Mary folds. Yumeko reveals a six-two suit, and although Jun may look like he lost, he reveals his seven-five suit, which means he now has five of Yumeko's chips, totaling to 155 million yen. Yumeko then laughs and notes that the results of the game are not final until it's over. Jun doesn't believe that he can lose, until he realizes that Yumeko can take Mary's Yumeko chips and win. Jun then decides that this turn is up to the hand he gets.

Although Jun doesn't get a good hand, Nanami has a pair of nines. Nanami begins by betting one Mary chip, but Yumeko calls with one of her chips. Yumeko believes that the turn will end with Nanami winning. Yumeko then convinces Mary to raise three of Yumeko's chips. Jun tries to prevent Nanami from winning by threatening her, and she agrees to listen to him, but Yumeko interjects. She tells Nanami that if she doesn't stand up for herself, she'll be a housepet forever. Jun tells Nanami to not listen to her and to fold, but Yumeko continues persuading Nanami to not listen to Jun. After Yumeko calls her an 'eternal housepet,' Nanami gets mad at her, but then remembers that days before she was a housepet.

Nanami recounts that her long hair was her pride and joy. She'd grown it out since grade school, and it had reached her waist. People would sometime remark that it looked heavy or gross, but she didn't care and loved it no matter what people said. Her parents then enrolled her at Hyakkaou Private Academy after ninth grade, but she wasn't wealthy and quickly became a housepet. Her nightmare of being a housepet truly began when she was put into the same class as Jun, who cut off her long, beautiful hair. Losing her hair, Nanami felt as if she'd lost who she was, because her hair was her pride and joy. She asked Jun why he would do such a horrible thing, and he told her that he just wanted to know what it would be like to cut off really long hair. Nanami's last thread that supported her snapped. She then went through hell under the control of Jun, but now she could defy him. She could get back at him, because Yumeko was dangling her thread in front of her again. Nanami then became overrun with revenge, and she calls, against Jun's will.
