Kimimaro is transported to the Financial District, where he must engage in Deals involving wagered money and Assets. He is paired with Msyu and immediately forced into a Deal against a powerful Asset called Gig. Unable to comprehend the situation, Kimimaro suffers damage while Msyu defends him. Msyu eventually teaches him to utilize her ability, allowing them to defeat their opponent, though Kimimaro collapses shortly after. Back in the real world, Masakaki informs him that his next Deal is scheduled for a week later and notes an increase in his account balance. Kimimaro later observes that certain banknotes appear black to him. Msyu clarifies that these are funds originating from the Financial District. He subsequently meets Mikuni, who explains the nature of these black bills, referred to as Midas Money, and suggests he possesses knowledge regarding Kimimaro's parents.
