Nana asks him where's the money she gave him to run errands and he can't answer. Hina introduced herself to Nana which she was surprised at her name, as it's rare for someone at Althea to have a kanji name. She also stated she is searching for someone, under her mother's request who died five years ago. When Nana realized her mother fallen into the Abyss, Hina was confused and asks her about it, which Nana surprised as she can't believe Hina doesn't know anything about the count. Nana explained that everyone in Althea has their own count since birth and it's the life system to keep them alive. Soon, Licht tried to sneak food for himself, but he was knocked by Nana instead which caused the other girls keep kicking him for sexual harassment. Hina reveals her count, Licht appears in front of her, trying to see her panties. Nana orders Licht to handstand until he dies, as an example of how count works in this world. Hina asks about the "Legendary Red Baron", Nana asks Licht that if he knew anything, but he was quick to shake his head.

After both Nana and Licht said they doesn't anything about the Baron. she felt sadden and wants to leave the city. As she leaving, she meets a soldier named Davi and self-proclaimed as the "Legendary Red Baron", claiming that he must be the person she was looking for. Hina, being happy, stated that she finally found him after 5 years of searching. With the meeting, Davi decided to bring Hina to his Guardhouse along with his henchmen. After Hina was invited by Davi, it was shown that Licht is drinking with his mask on. He then said that there's someone who tries to impersonating the "Legendary Red Baron" to swindle people and doing awful things to girls. Knowing this, Nana immediately realized that Davi's count is lower than Hina's and started to worries at her, while Licht goes to find Hina and save her.

After a brief talk, Davi began touching Hina's body while asking her name and intention. However, soon after Hina brought the Ballot out, Davi and his henchmen became hostile and said he must take the Ballot from her. With this situation, Hina revealed her count to him and ordered him to not do anything against her. Davi then ignored her order and told her to "play" the game of "The Startheft Bout". While Hina had no idea about the game at all, she had no choice but to accept his challenge. Hina was soon easily overwhelmed and lost against Davi. After Hina's defeat, Davi mocked how her count reduced to only 1 while seeing her panties. Hina cried and wondered why did he do such thing, Davi apologized to her that he wasn't the real Legendary Red Baron. Davi also called Hina as an idiot for believing the Legendary Red Baron still exist, and that it was all her fault to get involved in this situation.

Soon, Licht arrived at the Guardhouse to save Hina. Licht states that he will challenge Davi to a game of "The Startheft Bout" in Hina’s stead. Davi and his henchmen were laughing after seeing Licht's count, although his henchmen immediately realized something was wrong with Licht since he was not absorbed to the Abyss even after his count reached below zero. Licht tells Hina to stop finding the "Legendary Red Baron", as they are not heroes but murderers. Although he also stated that he will return Hina's counts back from Davi.

The chapter ends at Licht reveals his true identity was the "Legendary Red Baron".
