==Plot==
Amasawa and Itokura play a game of old maid to practice their bluffing skills, but Amasawa faces her tenth consecutive defeat. She states she needs Yagami to go undercover in a proper casino to find Hayakawa, who gained access to one. Hayakawa has a good reputation but is noted to be competitive in games, and Amasawa suspects obtained a fake ID with help from a third party - likely the Professor. She states she learned of Hayakawa gambling from her boasting about it to one of her peers, and Amasawa is worried that with how much she is raising the stakes that it will cost her, even with her perfect winrate.
First, Yagami must find the member-only casino, which Amasawa suspects is in Chinatown because she would lose sight of Hayakawa there whenever she tailed her. Yagami finds Hayakawa and sees her enter a public restroom, but he does not see her leave after half an hour. When a worker looks for her, she says Hayakawa was not there. Yagami overhears people talking about a secret casino and learns it is being discussed on Chatter. With the Buzz Researcher, he learns the secret entrance is in the bathroom. He overhears a man guarding a stall talking about a membership with another and uses the Noise Amp to hear their conversation. He learns that to obtain a membership, he must say "bon au chic" to the Ijincho Ebisu Pawn broker.
The broker asks Yagami for a photo ID and 50,000¥ for a membership. Yagami shows the stall guard his ID and he is directed to a wall in the stall, which leads to the casino. When he searches for Hayakawa, he finds a man whose appearance is identical to hers named Mikitaka Makari, who has not left fingerprints due to wearing gloves. He decides to make a bet: If he wins a hand, she must answer all of his questions, but if he loses, he will remain silent about her. Regardless of Yagami's efforts, Hayakawa wins. Yagami makes another bet with the same condition if he wins, but a shoulder rub for Hayakawa if he loses. While Hayakawa is playing, Yagami notes her eyes are closed and sees her react to a customer right before he lashes out.
Yagami discusses his findings with Amasawa, and she suspects Hayakawa may have an enhanced sense. By process of elimination, they deduct she has a strong sense of smell, with Amasawa stating she read a report of how dogs can sense emotions through scent, and Hayakawa may have unlocked the olfactory potential not normally accessible by the average person. Yagami buys perfume from Welcome Pharmacy to mask his own scent and applies a very strong dose right before returning to the casino.
Hayakawa's reaction indicates Yagami has figured out her strategy, but she still accepts the rematch, and he emerges victorious. Back at the MRC, Hayakawa states she is able to discern smells thanks to her synesthesia. She also states that while he heard of the Professor, they were not involved in forging her ID; she was able to pose as her brother, whose appearance nearly matches hers, and whose name is different due to their parents being divorced. Hayakawa states that delinquent students have a distinct scent which is more present in recent times compared to when she started high school, which she suspects is linked to the Professor, and asks them to put a stop to it.
