Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls (モンスター娘のいる日常, Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou) Chapter 52 is the fifty-second chapter of the Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls manga series.

Written and drawn by mangaka Okayado (Inui Takemaru), this chapter was released in Japan on June 20th, 2017, by the Japanese publishing company within the seinen manga and anime magazine,.

The chapter was later gathered as part of the series' tankōbon volume Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls Volume 13.

Plot
The chapter follows on directly from the previous events, when Suu stands in the parking lot of the Tokyo International Exhibition Center at night and discovers the tanker truck with the mysterious being. A man climbs down from the tanker truck and pauses as he notices something out of the corner of his eyes. He doesn't spot Suu, however, as she quickly took on the form of a traffic cone through her transformation abilities as a Slime. The man tells some of his colleagues to hurry up with the removal as they have to get this stuff to their company while everyone else is busy shipping stuff out from the Expo.

While the men are still talking to each other, they don't notice how Suu secretly sneaks to the tanker truck and carefully places her Slime head feeler on the truck. As a result, she senses the being's thoughts inside and freezes for a moment while the being silently looks at her. Suu then reverts to her blob form and climbs onto the tanker truck. She finds a lock on the back end of the tanker, which she loosens with her feeler and then pries open the lid with her hands.

At that moment, however, the truck starts up, causing Suu to lose her balance. Suu loses her grip on the lid, which falls down, cutting off her right hand, which splashes into the liquid inside the tank to her shock before she falls off the vehicle. Looking at the departing truck, Suu sees the being looking at her as it slowly prepares to climb out of the tank. Suu happily waves goodbye before noticing that her right hand, which fell into the tank, is missing. She quickly regenerates that part of her to show the creature that she's fine.

While Suu is still squatting on the floor, someone approaches her and when she turns around, she sees the four girls from MON. They tell her that the other girls found Kimihito (after he was kidnapped by Curie) safe and sound. The MON girls then take Suu home, although she is still looking thoughtfully and a little sadly after the departing tanker truck.

A few days later, early in the morning, the Bicycle Police Officer is on his usual morning patrol near the river that runs through Tokyo. He notes that it's pretty foggy that day and that there's almost no point to patrol if he can't see anything. He jokingly says to himself that it feels like some crazy monster is gonna show up out of the fog, but his laughter gets stuck in his throat when suddenly a giant figure rises from the river next to him, which actually looks like a monster. The police officer then screams in sheer terror.

Meanwhile, on the balcony of the Kurusu house, Kimihito, Miia and Lala are busy hanging out the laundry. Miia is happy that things have finally calmed down a bit and there is peace for a while after all the excitement with the dangerous Liminals and the Expo. However, Kimihito says with a sigh that unfortunately that's not the case and tells Miia that there have been rumours lately that some kind of Nessie has appeared in the river, much to her shock.

Kimihito asks Miia if it could possibly be a Liminal, but Miia replies uncertainly that she's never heard of a "Nessie" Liminal species before. To calm herself, Miia asks Kimihito if maybe people are just seeing things, but Kimihito points out that apparently there are many people who have seen the being, making it more likely that there is at least some truth to these rumours.

The conversation between the two is interrupted by Papi saying that she's going out for a bit today because Kii wants to play with her today. Before Papi can fly off, however, Miia asks her, confused, that she had told Kino before that she would hang out with her today. Papi, startled, realizes that she had done this, whereupon she asks what she should do now. Miia chides her that she can't keep double-booking people like this.

At that moment, the phone in the living room rings. Kimihito picks up the phone and then, after a short chat, turns to Papi. He tells her that Curie called and wants to know when Papi is coming to play with her today. Miia sighs realising that Papi accidentally triple-booked while the Harpy's head starts to smoke while she thinks but has absolutely no idea how to solve this dilemma.

Meanwhile, Miia herself receives a call from the priest of the shrine, who tells her to work immediately. Since the EXPO, the shrine has become very popular (maybe because of the photo gallery in Chapter 48) and that's why the priest needs all the available employees right now because he's totally swamped. While Lala gets a little shock from the smoking Papi, Miia hastily tells Kimihito that she has to go to work right now and sets off.

Key Events

 * A giant mysterious creature begins showing up randomly throughout the city.
 * Suu starts acting bizarre after being contacted by the mysterious creature and runs away.
 * Lala and Kimihito chase Suu around the city.
 * Suu is kidnaped by a group of strange men in a van.
 * Lala's head somehow becomes trapped in the back of the van.

Trivia

 * This is one of few times where Kimihito accidently hurts one of the girls.
 * It seems strange that Curie would ask Papi when she would come to play, since it was early morning, i.e. during the day, and sunlight is very dangerous for Vampires.
