## Summary

Today, students of Hyakkaou Private Academy are doing a disaster drill. Yumeko thinks it'll be fun and says that they don't know if they will survive and escape the school building. Ryota is thinking that if Yumeko is risking her life, it's not a drill, it's the real thing. The disaster drill begins, as smoke appears. Yumeko says that before her transfer, she didn’t do this kind of training at school. Mary informs them that this smoke is not from fire. The student council is planning the evacuation drill today. Mary supposes that it’s poisonous gas for the rebel students. She puts a gas mask on. All the masks have been taken before Ryota or Yumeko could get one.

Ryota suggests to Yumeko that they move to avoid inhaling smoke since they don’t have masks. The smoke is raised, so they should get closer to the floor. It would be easier to breathe this way. Yumeko understands and gets down on her hands and knees. She tells him that as he said, it’s easier to breathe in this posture. Ryota does the same and follows her. They complete the drill and Mary tells them that they’re late. Yumeko is thankful for Mary waiting for them and hugs her. Mary answers that she was a little tired and rested. Ryota finds a riot shield. Yumeko finds a grenade and wonders if it’s a real one. Mary bets with Yumeko that the grenade is real. Yumeko asks Mary if she should remove the safety pin. Ryota runs with his riot shield, as he will never participate in such a bet. He gets outside the school building. Yumeko and Mary followed him.

A girl announces that from now on, students will board the plane and evacuate to the shelter, which is a facility of the school. There are many children of influential people in the political and business world at this school. It wouldn't be strange if gambling could trigger a life-threatening event. It is safe for students to be fully prepared to save their lives. The order of boarding shall be in the order of the highest payment to the Student Council. The housepets will be asked to remain in the school. They should protect the lives of superior students. Ryota thinks to himself that he doesn’t want to become a housepet again.

## Plot

In Hyakkaou Private Academy, when school is over, gambling booths are set up in every school room. Today, they’re doing a disaster drill. Ryota finds this to be a fun thing. Yumeko agrees. She says that they don't know if they will survive and escape the school building. Ryota is thinking that if Yumeko is risking her life, it's not a drill, it's the real thing. Yumeko then suggests to Mary that they have fun together. Mary accepts. Ryota understands that Mary is just trying to undermine Yumeko since she has a chance.

The disaster drill begins, as smoke appears. Yumeko says that before her transfer, she didn’t do this kind of training at school. Ryota explains that last year, it was a normal training. He’s enthusiastic this year. Mary informs them that this smoke is not from fire. The student council is planning the evacuation drill today. Mary supposes that it’s poisonous gas for the rebel students. She puts a gas mask on. All the masks have been taken before Ryota or Yumeko could get one. Ryota believes that this school is out of standards for both assumptions and defenses.

Yumeko thinks the smoke is harmless, but it’s a little stuffy. Ryota suggests to Yumeko that they move to avoid inhaling smoke since they don’t have masks. The smoke is raised, so they should get closer to the floor. It would be easier to breathe this way. Yumeko understands and gets down on her hands and knees. She tells him that as he said, it’s easier to breathe in this posture. Ryota does the same and follows her. They complete the drill and Mary tells them that they’re late.

Yumeko is thankful for Mary waiting for them and hugs her. Mary answers that she was a little tired and rested. Ryota finds a riot shield. Yumeko finds a grenade and wonders if it’s a real one. Ryota believes that there are ridiculous disaster prevention goods here. Mary bets with Yumeko that the grenade is real. Yumeko asks Mary if she should remove the safety pin. Ryota runs with his riot shield, as he will never participate in such a bet. He gets outside the school building. Yumeko and Mary followed him. A girl announces that from now on, students will board the plane and evacuate to the shelter, which is a facility of the school.

There are many children of influential people in the political and business world at this school. It wouldn't be strange if gambling could trigger a life-threatening event. It is safe for students to be fully prepared to save their lives. The order of boarding shall be in the order of the highest payment to the Student Council. The housepets will be asked to remain in the school. They should protect the lives of superior students. Ryota thinks to himself that he doesn’t want to become a housepet again.
