Rio: Rainbow Gate!

Good morning. Do you want to get a morning coffee together?

Do you?

I'm considering making an extended stay.

Look after things while I'm gone.

Yes, sir.

Sounds like we'll have nothing to do again, Choco.

Forgive me, Mint.

Howard Resort is just too irresistible.

What are we going to do about your casino addiction?

Right, Choco?

What was that?

See you later.

Don't be a stranger.

Okay.

I hope she likes this place.

Between a casino and a walk, going for a walk is more fun.

I didn't need to see them put it away.

We'll tell the owner.

We'll tell him.

Huh? What was that?

How lucky. We saw the Goddess of Victory before going to the casino.

Maybe today will be our day.

What are they talking about?

"Goddess of Victory"

Hey, is that...

Yeah, isn't that the Goddess of Victory?

I'm bored.

You're right, Choco. Why is every casino city the same?

I want to see something so amazing my heart will burst.

Hey, it's the Goddess of Victory!

I've never seen her in person before!

Let's shake her hand!

The Goddess of Victory's here?

Where?

The Goddess of Victory is here!

The Goddess of Victory...

That sounds interesting.

Goddess of Victory!

Goddess of Victory!

What is this Goddess of Victory?

Could I get your autograph?

I can't see anything.

Could I get a picture with you?

Choco, don't you want to see her, too?

All right...

I shook her hand! Now I'm sure to win!

Hey, wait! Give me some good luck, too!

Goddess of Victory!

She's not here, and I hurt all over.

What on earth is this Goddess of Victory?

They're talking about Rio.

She's quite popular. Even a Hollywood star like me doesn't hold a candle to her.

Who's Rio, old lady?

Old... You're quite a rude child.

Is Rio the Goddess of Victory?

Where can I meet her?

Oh, Chip.

Perfect timing, Chip. Take this girl to your master.

Take me where?

If you don't hurry, you'll lose him.

Okay! Thank you, miss!

You're not so bad after all.

I found it.

Wait for me.

The casino...

Awesome!

Hey, Rio-chan.

Our goddess.

It's Rio.

Hi.

Hey, Rio!

Where are we going?

A full house!

Is this yours?

Thank you.

I hit the jackpot!

Where did he go?

What's going on?

Awesome!

Hooray!

I just saw the goddess walk by!

I saw her, too!

Maybe we'll win big, too!

Hooray!

Everyone's excited about something.

Hey, wait up!

Everyone gets excited when Rio shows up.

They get excited.

Wait!

There he is!

Oh, Chip.

The Goddess of Victory?

You're Rio?

Yes.

What a cute bear.

What a splendid customer.

I know.

This is Choco, and I'm Mint.

Welcome.

You wouldn't believe where she came from.

You wouldn't.

Sorry.

That's got to be it.

How is everything, Mr. Clark?

This is a wonderful view, Howard-kun.

Please enjoy yourself.

I'm already having plenty of fun.

Oh, Grandfather.

Sorry, Mint.

I'll have my staff take care of your granddaughter.

Could that be her? Come in.

Is this her?

Yes.

Very good. There are limits to sexiness.

Very good thinking.

You told me to wear this.

You said the customers would like it when I climb stairs.

Is that right?

Rio! It's you!

We meet again!

Hello, Miss.

Here.

And this is Choco, right?

Yeah.

You already know each other?

Is she the staff member you were talking about?

Yes.

Rio is Howard Resort's rising star female dealer...

also known as the Goddess of Victory.

You know about her, Grandfather?

According to rumors, her presence thaws the tension of any casino...

and brings good luck to all the players.

What? You can do all that, Rio?

I don't know about that...

I'll put the rumors about you to the test and play a little bit.

I will show Mint-sama to her room.

Thank you.

You live in a hotel?

Yes.

Can I help you?

Not you. I have business with the girl.

Take the stuffed animal!

Retreat!

Are you hurt, Mint-sama?

I found something amazing.

164cm tall.

From top to bottom, 91, 59, 87...

Or maybe 88...

Thank you for waiting, Mint-sama.

Just call me Mint, Rio.

Thank you for waiting, Mint.

Do you have any idea why that man was after your bear?

I have no idea. Choco's just Choco.

You're not keeping any secrets from me, are you?

No. I would have told you.

Have a lucky day.

That was you.

The owner forced me to do it.

I'm just a dealer.

You were wearing some funny clothes yesterday.

That's not all. I have to do all kinds of things.

Sounds like he works you really hard.

But it's all for the customers.

Don't you think you're being too nice?

You think so?

What's wrong with this machine?

Quit being a cheapskate and pay up!
