Chapter 46

**Rebecca** (レベッカ *Rebekka*) is the forty-sixth chapter of Oumi Noko's manga series S Rare Soubi no Niau Kanojo.

## Summary

Rebecca hides from Lamia for fear that she will devour or destroy her too. Meanwhile, Lamia continues to pump her eggs in Haruka Nanao. Ea Yuki attempts to save Haruka by striking Lamia with her Pure Sword, but it has no effect. Lamia then pierces Ea with her tails and injects eggs into her as well. Yurina intervenes and is able to cut through one of Lamia's tails, which surprises her. Lamia retaliates by using Medusa's petrification, partially turning Yurina to stone. While she is frozen in place, Lamia pierces Yurina's stomach with her tail and pumps eggs into her. Once Lamia is finished, Yurina's petrification is undone, which Lamia attributes to her not having fully absorbed Medusa's power.

Yurina expresses her disgust at being impregnated with the child of monster, but Lamia offhandedly remarks that she should be thrilled since the eggs inside of her as much from Daigo Seko as from her. Ea and Haruka are mortified at this news and, as Daigo wakes up, they yell at him to take responsibility. As Daigo is confused by the situation, Puppeteer explains that Lamia has stolen his genitalia and used it to impregnate the girls, while also transforming Daigo himself into a girl. Daigo then asks where the Rankers are and Yurina and Haruka explain that they went inside Lamia's body to rescue him, but now are trapped themselves, thus making Lamia stronger. At Daigo's insistence, Yurina and Ea declare that they will save the others and Daigo's genitalia. Daigo also observes Lamia's new monstrous form, and Yurina explains it is due to her absorbing his genitalia.

Yurina attacks Lamia, but she blocks it with Saori's Barrier skill. Yurina and the others are surprised and Lamia explains that she has absorbed the powers of the Rankers. Though she is disappointed they could not bear her children, she is pleased that their abilities will make her children even stronger. Ea wonders what they can do since, counting Puppeteer, they only have five people on their team to fight against Lamia. Puppeteer concedes that she does not agree with Lamia's methods and wishes to rescue her friends and so she will cooperate. She also points out that Rebecca is hiding behind a rock and, thus, they have another person who can help. Ea happily calls out to Rebecca, counting her as the sixth person on their team, but Rebecca refuses, stating that she is too weak to fight. However, Ea points out that Rebecca possesses the SS Rare Dainsleif, which shocks Yurina and Haruka. Daigo is unfamiliar with the Dainsleif and Haruka explains that it is a legendary SS Rare that is extremely powerful, even among other SS Rares. Her enthusiasm, however, almost gives away her past experience with Grimzelia, but the others dismiss it as Haruka thoroughly researching the game.

In a moment of "Breaking the Fourth Wall", Rebecca points out that she drew the Dainsleif all the way back in volume four and the readers won't remember it, but Ea counters that readers can go ahead and buy the volume.

Yurina wonders if Daigo is even able to friend summon a monster, but Puppeteer points out that, since Rebecca has especially rich human blood, it could work. Puppeteer also points out that Lamia had high expectations for her due to her potential for human growth, which Lamia herself confirms. Lamia confronts Rebecca and intimidates her, stating she will not allow her to join up with the humans. Rebecca cowers in fear, recalling all the abuse Lamia has given her. However, Puppeteer interjects and tells Rebecca that her weakness is from her human side, but her human side also has great strength that she must believe in. This speech gives Rebecca the confidence she needs and she finally defies Lamia, declaring that she will defeat her.

Angered, Lamia tries to attack Rebecca with her tails, but they are blocked by Ea and Haruka. Ea tells Daigo to friend summon Rebecca and proceeds to do so. Yurina blocks another attack from Lamia and observes that Lamia must really not want Rebecca to equip the SS Rare. Lamia explains to the heroes that, for humanoid monsters, their monster blood comes from Queen, the female ruler of the monsters, while their human blood comes from the first Demon King, who was human. Lamia further explains that Rebecca's human blood being so strong was why she had high expectations for her. Yurina still does not fully understand, and Lamia reiterates that Rebecca's human blood contains a great potential for growth. Yurina attacks Lamia and angrily declares that she cannot force her selfish will upon her comrades. Haruka prepares to strike Lamia with her Agateram, but Lamia suddenly closes in on her and grabs both her and Ea with her tails. She brings them into her mouth, preparing to swallow them, prompting Daigo to friend summon Rebecca. As Lamia devours Haruka, she tells her not to charge at her since she cannot hold back her appetite, even if she does want her to bear her children. Lamia swallows Ea and Haruka into her body, but she is suddenly attacked from behind and forced to spit them back out. Her attacker is revealed to be Rebecca who has equipped the Dainsleif.

Rebecca approaches Lamia, ready to confront her. Lamia fires Yuki-Onna's ice shards at her, but Rebecca dodges them and instantly appears next to Lamia. Lamia then tries to attack with Princess Titan's iron ball, but Rebecca cleaves it in half. Yurina and the others look on, astounded by Rebecca's strength. Rebecca demands Lamia to release everyone as she is clearly stronger than her. Daigo wonders if the Dainsleif really is that strong, and Haruka comments that Rebecca's monster blood is probably making it stronger. Apparently overwhelmed by Rebecca's strength, Lamia begins to panic and flees. Elated by the fact that Lamia is afraid of her, Rebecca chases after her. But, as she is distracted, Lamia pierces one of her tails straight through Rebecca's abdomen.

A flashback shows a young Rebecca trying to stop a bunch of humanoid monsters from beating up a young Venomous Moon Jelly. The other monsters are confused as to why another humanoid would stick up for a "lowly" monster and Rebecca responds that she feels bad about a weak person being bullied. Angered, the other monsters turn on Rebecca and beat her up instead. After the other monsters leave, Rebecca tries to help Venomous Moon Jelly, but she scorns her as well, not wanting her pity, and runs off. Left alone, Rebecca is met by a young Lamia who observes how kind she is. Rebecca refutes her, saying she is just weird, but Lamia says her kindness is human kindness and that, if she comes with her, she can make her strong.

Back in the present, Lamia tells Rebecca that she has exceeded her expectations. Since humans starting equipping gear, she suspected that Rebecca may be able to as well, and now that she has, Lamia says she has become an even greater meal than she expected. Lamia punctures Rebecca's stomach with her tail, but Lamia confirms she is not injecting eggs into her. Lamia explains that she had always planned to eat Rebecca and breeding her would be of no benefit. Instead, Lamia is injecting her with digestive fluids to make her body more tender. She also poisons Rebecca to increase her flavor. Lamia says her farewell to Rebecca, stating she was completely useless, but now she can serve as the greatest nutrition. Lamia swallows up Rebecca into her mouth and devours her. Ea and Haruka look on in shock as not even Dansleif was enough to beat Lamia. As Lamia consumes Rebecca, her body begins to distort and expand. Puppeteer orders Daigo to undo the friend summon as the way Lamia is reacting to this absorption is totally abnormal. Daigo attempts to do so, but is unable and is only met with an error screen on his phone. Yurina tries to attack, but is knocked away by a burst of light from Lamia's body. Lamia steps forth from the clearing smoke, having taken a completely new form, and tells them they are too late.
