> When it looks like contenders are drying up, step up to the table. "Hi! Can I have a go at it?"

> Between ?5-60, depending on how risky they are.
> Ah...you don't have any ? with you right now, you left it at home in exchange for this new currency...
> Either way, once the kappa slow down in participation, you step forward.
> Mitori looks somewhat humbled by your presence. "Ohh, a human!" She grins. "How much are you willing to lay down?" She gestures to the pile of coins on the table.

> You show Mitori a sample of your currency. She squints at it and frowns a little.
> "Ahh....another one's using that...I kind of prefer ?, but since that's not useless, I'll take it."
> She shoots a few glares at the kappa in the crowd, who are now murmuring amongst themselves. "And don't get any ideas from that, you hear?!"

> "We can deal with that later." You set the ?5 in front of Mitori and watch her carefully.
> Mitori takes the glass marble and sets it under the right cup. She then starts to shuffle them around. It's easy at first, because she's going slow, but then she goes faster and faster. Before you know it, you've almost completely lost track of the cup the marble is under.
> Mitori finally finishes shuffling.
> "Well? Left, right, or middle?"

> You point at the middle one.
> Mitori reaches out and lifts the cup.
> It's....empty! Agh, you lost!
> Mitori lifts the other cups. It was under the left one...

> You gather your miracle powers, and tap the middle one.
> "The middle, huh...?" Mitori reaches over and lifts the cup...
> ...To reveal a slice of cake. Yes, it has chocolate icing!
> Mitori's eyes bug out of her head. "What the heck?!" Meanwhile, the kappa around the table seem to be rejoicing!

> You take the cake and eat it, wondering where the marble ended up. You chew carefully, in case it really ended up in the middle cup, but when Mitori lifts the other two cups, the marble turns up under the left cup.
> Both she and the kappa are looking at you in astonishment.
> "How did you do that?" Mitori asks suspiciously.

> "You're from Yasaka-sama's and Moriya-sama's shrine?" Mitori blinks. "Should've realized it earlier, what with those hair charms of yours."
> You move out of the way, and soon enough, the kappa are at it again with betting.

> You finish off the cake and continue watching.
> Watching for a little while longer reveals that while Mitori is very good at shuffling the cups, there are still those who are lucky enough to guess the right cup and get howevery many coins have accumulated on the table. Still, it seems a little repetitive. How do they not get tired of doing this over and over? Maybe they just like the thrill of betting?

> "The wheat fields at the bottom of the mountain." Mitori turns back and lifts a cup that a kappa has pointed at. "Nope, wrong one. Kawashiro Nitori'd probably be the one to go to, but she's kind of hard to find these days. You might want to check the forest on the way down to the fields."
