Back on a more normal schedule for the most part. Chapter 327 is now available for reading! This is the conclusion to the Fumiko and Haruo fight. It ends with some new details and some explanation. It is a less than epic final to the fight, but it is just the way some of them go. Not every fight will be big and explosive. The problems with Fumiko were more important in the fight as they get explained through the flashback.

I don't expressly state things, but it should be clear enough what was going on. There were the things that she was doing to keep herself sane through it all. And her focus was on her power. So she actually grew dramatically because she was doing nothing but practicing day in and day out. It was her only avenue. So it netted a lot of gain in her power. It was mostly in control rather than actual destructive power. But it'll mean that she is a lot more versatile in the future now.

But I also manage to sneak in some details about Takako and Haruo as well. I finally start getting down to what she was doing to people. Though it is not clear at the moment. The pieces are starting to be laid down for everyone to explain. Naturally, all of the answers won't come until Yuki's showdown with Takako, but that's still a distance off. Haruo did get a brief bit of new details on his personality with the questions about his emotions. The whole thing going on with Fumiko at the moment is a lot worse than it seems at the moment, since she is being subjected to a mind crushing amount of guilt with not possible way of being released from it. So it is like a nightmare you can't wake up from, but mental and emotional tenfold worse. I mentioned how they would handle such things in the future, since these are very real concerns. Fumiko is only the start of that.

Enjoy!
