#chapter 125

Even when he's irritated that everyone thinks that he's just overlooking Kikyo stealing the shards because he's supposedly still in love with her, he still makes an effort to save Kagome without hesitation.

But anyway, let's talk about chapter 125.

Now, Anya is determined to catch that damn culprit, so she tells her classmates about it.

Connie then concludes that they probably can find some clues (or evidences) in the old schoolhouse, which actually is what Anya is going to check, then Bill joins them and gives information about the papers he found there, which probably are the flyers that were spread around the school. Finally, all of them (Anya, Becky, Bill, Connie, Damian, Emile, Ewen and George) decided to go to the old schoolhouse.

But wait, who's the one behind them...

It's Donna Schlag, aka the old lady Tonitrus... Now I wonder if they really will get both Stella Stars and Tonitrus Bolts after this...

Then come the first obstacle named the rugby teacher, but Bill successfully distracts him so the others can walk further into the building.

Not so long after that, they meet their second obstacle, the chess teacher, so Emile and Ewen decide to distract him.

Then come the biggest obstacle, the chemistry teacher who successfully put George to sleep. Fortunately, Connie still has time to give two cloves of garlic to Becky, who isn't affected by the gas, so she can use it to wake both Anya and Damian up. The power trio then keep running, but suddenly...

They meet a ghost!

That punch was really just Akutagawa telling Atsushi to get his shit together, and it’s honestly pretty fitting for them

I think it’s maybe not the most normal thing but it’s not bad, and it’s not like Atsushi can’t handle being hit (plus one time Dazai literally slapped him across the face to get sense into him..and Dazai trained Akutagawa). I don't think it's a step back in their relationship or Akutagawa's character at all either

Akutagawa is the only person who can snap Atsushi out of an indecisive spiral and essentially comfort him (at least right now). Maybe there's not a lot of comfort but Atsushi knows he's not alone if he has Akutagawa by his side, again, finally alive and breathing. Things are going to shit and both of Sskk know that, and Akutagawa is the perfect person to ground Atsushi and keep him functioning

It’s a very interesting view of their relationship bc it says a lot about how they’re actually so balanced with each other, and how they work better together than individually

Overall it’s really cool development because it also says a lot about their understanding of each other Like Akutagawa knows Atsushi enough to where he knows exactly how to make him snap out of things

Plus he knew that's what Atsushi needed and that it wouldn't actually hurt Atsushi (that much at least like cmon Atsushi isn't gonna keel over after one punch)
