Chapter 28

**Wind of Resurrection** (復活の風 *Fukkatsu no Kaze*) is the twenty-eighth chapter of Oumi Noko's manga series S Rare Soubi no Niau Kanojo.

## Summary

While taking a bath, Haruka continues to reset her account on Grimzelia and draw weapons, but can't get one as good as Brionac. Suddenly, she realizes she is late for a meeting at Grizel Cafe and rushes off.

At the cafe, Karasu explains that, although it is powerful, her Scorn is a buggy weapon that can't be relied on. Riho adds that the Scorn was considered too strong for players to use and, thus, was discontinued. She is also unaware of the whereabouts of Karasu's parents or why they had a code. Haruka then speculates that the management for the Grimzelia app may be purposefully doing it to entice players to spend more money as the game will become a matter of life and death. The Rankers are intrigued by Haruka's idea, but they then realize that they don't know who Haruka is. Daigo introduces Haruka to everyone and Haruka admits she doesn't yet have a Grimzelia account. Karasu mocks her for being a rookie, but Haruka angrily insists she must help her friend Ea. Karasu suggests that Haruka just buy a strong weapon at an auction prompting the others to discuss the possibilities of weapon draws. When Karasu insults Eternal Wind for being sloppy, Haruka reveals she has purchased a large quantity of "Go!gle Play" cards, surprising Karasu. Haruka then speaks a speech about strengthening one's main equipment to be the most important part of Grimzelia, almost giving away her experience with the game. Daigo insists they should not use the cards unless they are going to be used for something useful and Marimo suggests that Daigo perform a draw on Haruka's account as he may be able to draw enough Villager's Swords to create another Corona Blade. However, Daigo begins to suffer anxiety at the pressure of having to draw a weapon, but is reassured by the others and goes through with it. Rather than a Villager's Sword, however, he draws the S Rare Agateram, one of the Seven Sins. Haruka is thrilled that Daigo drew such a powerful weapon for her and she thanks him. However, even with a rare weapon, the Rankers still dismiss her for being a rookie, which frustrates Haruka.

Later, the group gathers in a park to battle another Grimzelia monster that has appeared; the Mechanical Death Bee. Haruka takes the lead, planning to battle the monster herself with Agateram, despite the others' uncertainty. Daigo summons Haruka and sees she has taken the name "Infinite Wind". Haruka gives a dramatic speech as she transforms, which impresses Yurina, but the others find it embarrassing. As Haruka begins to fight the monster, she realizes she is not wearing any underwear as the Agateram gear did not include it. Riho comments that designing the parta people can see is all that matters. Haruka is mortified by her predicament and realizes that, since she is fighting a flying enemy, she may accidentally expose herself. The bee sprays her with digestive juices, but Haruka is unable to avoid the attack for fear of being exposed. The bee then injects Haruka with its stinger, poisoning her and making her take more damage. The bee lifts her into the air, but after hearing Karasu insult her again, Haruka blasts the bee with her Agateram and frees herself. Haruka assures the others she can beat the monster and will not even have to move. Using her experience with Grimzelia, Haruka analyzes the bee and is able to correctly deduce what action it will take next. As the bee charges her, Haruka blasts it with Agateram, destroying it. Yurina congratulates Haruka on her win and Haruka dismisses her victory as just luck. However, the Rankers are unconvinced and believe there was some skill involved. As Haruka tries to prove her worth to Daigo, he points out her short skirt, making Haruka nervous that he may have seen underneath. However, Daigo dismisses the idea and says he doesn't even want to see her underwear, prompting Haruka to hit him.

A montage shows that Yurina, Daigo, Haruka and the Rankers continued to train and gain experience for the upcoming battle. Then, one evening, at the Grizel Cafe, Riho reports that Ami has located Ea, meaning it is time for them to infiltrate Lamia's hideout.

At Lamia's hideout, Lamia and her human client witness all the Grimzelia monsters gathered before them who have possessed human girls. The client says they don't have enough, but Lamia assures her they at least have more than they did before. Ami watches nervously from the crowd, unsure why a human is working Lamia. To further reassure her client of their strength, Lamia presents nine Group-Quest level monsters who have joined their side. Ami is shocked by the reveal, not recognizing any of the monsters as being from Grimzelia. Suddenly, one of the Group-Quest bosses, a mummy-like monster, identifies Ami as human and captures her, wrapping her up in bandages.
