Full-time college student Kimimaro works his fingers to the bone, but he’s still flat broke. That is until an odd fellow invites him to the Financial District, a parallel world where he can increase his cash flow - if he’ll invest his future as collateral.

After being hurled into the Financial District and meeting his asset, Mashu - a petite girl with candy-striped antlers - Kimimaro is forced into a deal against an opponent who wastes no time launching staggering attacks with his monstrous asset.

While searching for clues about why he was chosen to be an Entrepreneur, Kimimaro makes an unsettling discovery after finding a notebook filled with numbers in his family's storage. Meanwhile, an investigator following Mikuni takes interest in Kimimaro.

When Kimimaro's second deal is a desperate wager against one of his own professors, he gets a lesson on how devastating the consequences can be in real life. Later, Mikuni makes Kimimaro a tempting offer to join his Starling Guild.

A look into Mikuni’s past reveals his introduction to the cold world of business, money and power. Later, the ever-curious Mashu analyzes her Entrepreneur’s behavior, calculating what makes him different from everyone else in the Financial District.
