As the threat of closure looms over the casino, Otae starts to lose hope. She believes that without gambling, her life is meaningless. However, Gintoki steps in and decides to help his sister. He knows that Otae is not just a gambler, but also a talented chef. He suggests that Otae switches from gambling to cooking, and turns the casino into a sushi restaurant.

In the end, the restaurant becomes a success, and Otae finds a new calling in life.
