Kotaro jumped to his feet and cried out, "ODD! I WON! I WON!!!"

The other gamblers sneered at him.

Midori, however, had no interest in the humor circulating the room. With practiced efficiency, she counted the money she had just won - 5,500 yen in a flash. Finishing the tally, she calmly slid 500 yen in Kotaro's direction.

"Thank you for the tip," she said with a smile. "I wouldn't have won if not because of you."
