Chapter 34

**Yurina Zombie Panic** (ユリナ・ゾンビ・パニック *Yurina Zonbi Panikku*) is the thirty-fourth chapter of Oumi Noko's manga series S Rare Soubi no Niau Kanojo.

## Summary

Yurina and Riho try to fight off the swarm of zombie girls summoned by Patra, but they are overwhelmed by the sheer number of them and find that their attacks do nothing. Riho looks through a guidebook and explains that the "Zombie" status reverses the effects of damage and recovery. In other words, they need to use a recovery skill to defeat the zombies. Unfortunately, Yurina does not know any recovery skills, but Riho assures her that if they defeat Patra the zombified girls will return to normal.

Suddenly, Patra asks Yurina and Riho their ages. Yurina replies that she is sixteen (according to the Grimzelia program) and Riho hesitantly answers that she is twenty-four, though she is not entirely sure. Patra is delighted, explaining that she only drains the life from girls twenty-five or younger. She then orders her zombies to attack, including Ami, and they quickly overwhelm Yurina, drastically weakening her. After swatting the zombies aside, Patra grabs hold of Yurina and uses her "Rotten Kiss" skill, turning Yurina into a zombie. Patra taunts the zombified Ami, saying it must be hard to be forced to hurt her friend, though Ami seems to actually enjoy seeing Yurina suffer.

Patra then faces down Riho, assured of her victory as Riho cannot get a phone signal and cannot equip a weapon with a recovery skill. However, Riho defies Patra's claims and presents an array of weapons at her disposal. Patra is confounded, stating it should be impossible for Riho to have so much equipment. Yurina and the other zombie girls then identify Riho as a developer and flee in terror. Riho confirms that she is a developer and, thus, can use as much equipment as she wants. She then presents the SS Rare gear Thyrsus, which can destroy Patra in one hit with its "Awakening Kiss" revival skill. However, Riho makes a bargain with Patra, stating that she will spare her if she releases Ami, Yurina, and the other zombie girls. However, in fact, the Thyrsus is an unusable broken replica and Riho is merely bluffing. The zombified Ami reveals this information to Patra, apparently wishing to see Riho suffer. Patra mocks Riho and Ami's "sisterly" relationship and orders her zombies to attack. Riho is helpless to resist and, once she is weakened, Patra grabs hold of her to zombify her. Patra begins to drain Riho's life, but, suddenly, Patra's arm falls off and she begins to weaken. Patra realizes that her "Rotten Kiss" is suffering a backlash and Riho must be older than twenty-five. Patra accuses Riho of lying about her age, but Riho merely states that she has forgotten her true age. Patra lies defeated and Yurina, Ami, and other zombie girls are freed. Riho happily reunites with Yuria and Ami, the latter of which reveals Riho's true age, which she is mortified to hear. However, Riho also realizes that, while Ami did reveal the truth about her weapons to Patra, she did not reveal her actual age, meaning she must really care about her.

Elsewhere, Marimo is in the clutches of the monster Cantarella who forces her breath in a poisonous gas.
