HS (Home Sick)

After spending weeks traveling with Ecarlate's entourage, Kon starts to get homesick for his former life, to the point where he whittles a block of wood into a fake game controller and pretends to play video games on the wall of his hotel room, refusing to come out. The party attempts to recreate his favorite food, manga and entertainment.

First, Mariandale tries to recreate a hamburger and fries with coke, and Kon seems to enjoy it, until he discovers the exact ingredients she used. Next, Marian gives Kon an erotic picture book, but it backfires as Kon retreats deeper into his delusions. Finally, Sainglain decides to take Kon to a casino to see a real fight.

Kon soon discovers that Sainglain entered him in one of the fights, and Kon manages to win by simply waiting until his opponents tire each other out by fighting. Then he gets placed in a fight against a man with a chainsaw. He uses the Alma Gear to knock the chainsaw away, then escapes through a hole in the ring.

Back at the hotel, he accuses his allies of threatening to kill him if he didn't snap out of his depression. The party is disappointed that Kon fled the ring and cost them betting money, but take solace that he snapped out of his delusional state.
