Rune returned after spending two days locked in the bedroom with the Jellicent Queen. She joined him on his outing with the girls and guided them to a private beach that was free of any monsters where they could relax and have some fun in the sun. Rimu did not participate herself. She simply lounged on a beach chair where she enjoyed the scenery while rubbing her stomach.
Rimu had been successfully impregnated, and therefore, Rune was able to secure her pledge to aid him in the coming conflict. He wasn't sure how exactly, but similarly to how Jelly-maidens could manipulate their bodies to self reproduce, Rimu was able to force herself into ovulation and was also able to tell the exact moment when her egg was fertilized. Rune was skeptical, but chose to trust her words.
The next day, they decided to depart. Goodbyes were kept short and sweet. Rune and the girls bid Serac and Rimu farewell before starting their return journey home. This time, with Stella in tow.
