The chapter, titled Darkness Falls, begins with Rudo celebrating his victory after exterminating the Trash Beast's supposed main body. He plans to undo his weapon but Tamsy tells him not to. Although he acknowledges Rudo's powers of transforming an object up to three times, he feels the boy should be careful.

If another strong Trash Beast appears, Rudo will be left with only one object to weaponize. Tamsy speculates that things will be difficult for Rudo if he runs out of weapons. He wants him to think carefully about his battle strategies. Rudo seems to understand Tamsy's advice.

He realizes how he has been lucky all the while since he had the other cleaners to bail him out of the trouble. Meanwhile, Follo continues to feel insecure. He desperately wants to help others and become a Giver. Finally, he asks Rudo the secret to being a Giver.

Just then, the party observes another mysterious figure emerging from the mini house. The figure carries a giant weapon and charges at Rudo and others. The boy demonstrates his weaponized blower against the Trash Beast. However, the Trash Beast's agility makes it hard for him to aim.

Likewise, Tamsy's net doesn't seem to work on the Trash Beast, as it cuts through them. On the other hand, Follo speculates the house must harbor the Trash Beast's actual body. He goes inside and realizes the house isn't made of straw but wood.

Suddenly, the wood inside the house forms into a mouth and attacks Follo. Outside, Rudo and Tamsy manage to exterminate the newly spawned Trash Beast. Just then, Follo walks outside and frantically tells them that the House itself is the main body they should be after.

According to the chapter, the house was controlling the dust. Follo feels he has done well to gather the intel and expects an acknowledgment from Rudo. Yet, on the contrary, Rudo tells him to stand back and let him take care of the beast. Rudo's response further plunges Follo into darkness.

Considering how the latest chapter ended, Gachiakuta chapter 122 will likely show Rudo finishing off the Trash Beast's main body. On the other hand, Follo has taken Rudo's words to heart and has finally shown hostile emotions.

There's a possibility he may awaken his Giver powers. However, it will be interesting to see whether he can manage to control his powers, if he does awaken them. Kei Urana has been teasing Follo's awakening for a while now. Gachiakuta chapter 122 might be the ideal chance for the author to give Follo his moment to shine.
