Chapter 30

The Family on the Hill (丘の上の一家, Oka no ue no Ikka) is the 30th chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga.

Summary
Fushi stops experiencing Gugu's pain and realizes Gugu must've died. He obtains and transforms into Gugu. He lets out a sorrowful cry.

The Oniguma Nokker rises behind Fushi and attacks him, but Fushi jumps out of the way. Using Gugu's form, Fushi blows flames at the Nokker. It doesn't seem to work against the Nokker's stone skin but Fushi keeps blowing flames relentlessly. He cries out in denial that Gugu isn't dead. He eventually falls off the side of the cliff into the ocean and the Nokker jumps in after him. The Oniguma Nokker combusts due to the rapid cooling of the water and the core of the Nokker swims away. The Beholder tells Fushi to go after it but Fushi heads back up towards the mansion.

Fushi, back in the Nameless Boy's form, finds where Gugu and Rean are and alert the other guests. The Beholder reminds Fushi that the Nokker's still have Oniguma's and March's form but fushi ignores him. They pull out Rean who is unconscious and a lifeless Gugu. Shin arrives at the scene and carries Gugu's body home. The manga transitions to a dream-like sequence from Gugu's point-of-view. Gugu wakes up on his brother's back, who's carrying him home, and they're greeted by Pioran and Booze Man. Pioran points out that all his wounds are gone and a mask-less and wound-less Gugu is shown. Rean comes running towards them and asks Gugu to fulfill his promise to her and pick flowers together. Gugu heads toward the field with everyone but suddenly remembers about the Nokkers. He asks them what happened and where is the enemy but no one responds. Gugu turns around and sees Fushi and Shin telling Pioran and Booze Man what has happened as the happy dream fades away. Gugu reaches out to touch Booze Man but his fingers slip through. He realizes he's died and is now a ghost. He wraps his arms around his family as they cry unaware.
