Chapter 50

**Home** (ホーム *Hōmu*) is the fiftieth and final chapter of Oumi Noko's manga series S Rare Soubi no Niau Kanojo.

## Summary

Having defeated Lamia, Yurina falls and Daigo Seko catches her. As Lamia disintegrates, several emerges shoot out from her body, indicating that everyone she devoured is returning. Daigo and Ea's gear disappear and Haruka Nanao, also without her gear, appears before them, concluding that they must have completed the quest.

The Rankers, along with Kirino and Rinko Yamada appear in their normal clothes, unharmed. Marimo recalls that they had been captured by a strange woman while inside of Lamia. Puppeteer, now joined by the freed monsters, realizes the woman must have been Queen, the mother of all monsters. Haruka is surprised that Puppeteer is still alive, but Puppeteer says a 300-year-old life like hers cannot be extinguished so easily. Puppeteer further explains that, although Queen had long ago been vanquished by the Hero Celestia, she had been hiding inside Lamia and influencing her actions so she could revive the monster race.

Puppeteer then retrieves Lamia, who has reverted into a small lizard, and admits that they have been defeated and will return to Grimzelia. Haruka is surprised to learn that Grimzelia is a real place and Yuki-Onna explains that the phone game connected their world to the human world and, thus, they had to find a suitable male to repopulate as the Heroes sent by the game were destroying them. However, they now believe that Lamia's will was really what was connecting the worlds and, rather than simply ensure the survival of their species, she wanted to create stronger descendants. Suddenly, Riho Utsugi recalls that Lamia was present when they were developing the game and Puppeteer explains that Queen probably erased her memories. The monster then depart for Grimzelia, hoping the humans will handle the Grimzelia game sensibly.

Everyone is content as the monsters leave, but, suddenly, Daigo sees that Yurina is disappearing as well. She explains that, since the quest to defeat Lamia is over, she is being returned home. Daigo and the others all object, claiming it is too sudden, but there is nothing Yurina can do. She thanks them for all the kindness they have given them and then says farewell to Daigo, stating that her time with him was the most fun she'd ever had. With that, Yurina completely vanishes.

Three days later, Ea Yuki and Haruka discuss a new game app they are playing, Poyo Poyo Quest, and how Haruka has become the new guild master. Ea is impressed with Haruka's performance, identifying her as the former "Eternal Whirlwind". Haruka recalls how much money she sunk into Grimzelia and to bitter-sweetly comment on how Grimzelia is gone now.

Narration explains that Yurina and the others were able to stop the invading monsters before too much of the rest of the world noticed it and the managers of the game have shut down the game for good.

Haruka asks Ea how Daigo is doing as he has not been to school in a few days. The two arrive at his house and find that he is catatonic, having lost the drive to do anything since Yurina left. Haruka discovers a box full of items that Daigo had previously devised while helping to train Yurina. Daigo snaps out of it as they recall all the fun times they had with Yurina. Daigo begrudgingly comments that Yurina never behaved like a game hero and only did as the game system commanded at the very end. In an attempt to cheer him up, Ea shows Daigo Poyo Poyo Quest, the new game app she and Haruka have been playing with the Rankers. Since the game is completely free, Daigo somewhat reluctantly gives it a try.

As he starts up the game, Daigo recalls how Grimzelia started the same way with Ea recommending it to him and how Yurina appeared after he pressed the quest button. Daigo presses the quest button on Poyo Poyo, but nothing happens. Daigo is not surprised, but suddenly the three hear a grumbling sound coming from his closet. They open it up and find Yurina inside. The three are baffled and Yurina explains that she has been in his closet since they defeated Lamia. She concludes that she must have been brought to Daigo's house since it is "home" for her. She apologizes profusely for not going back into the game, after which her stomach growls again as she has not eaten in three days. However, Daigo happily declares he will make Yurina another one of his cost-efficient meals and will make anything she wants. Overjoyed, Yurina replies that she wants donuts.
