Chap 166 - 168
At the end of chapter 166, we saw Okita being loaded with guilt, feeling he was responsible for Kobana’s death as he was unable to do anything for her. Sei comforted Okita with her “medical knowledge”, telling him that Kobana would have died on that same day anyhow; there was nothing he could do to save her practically.
Sei: “Sensei has already made Kobana san happy.”
Okita suddenly held Sei tight in his embrace. In the dark, he slowly whispered: “Hap…py? I have not been able to do anything for her… not even a lie that would have comforted her...”
Sei, smiling tenderly: “But if you have lied, that would definitely have made you a different person to the one who Kobana was fond of.”
With tears gradually drawing in his eyes, Okita held Sei even closer and tighter…. and kissed….
In the end, Okita gave his condolence as someone who was “closely related” to Kobana; perhaps it was the only way for Okita to alleviate his guilt over Kobana’s death…….

Chapter 167: Okita was avoiding Sei again!
Sei remembered that night when Okita sensei held her so tightly until she felt his tears… as she was just about to whisper out his name, Okita suddenly apologised and quicky ran off….
Sei knew Okita was hurt as he had lost himself somehow…. he needed to gain support from someone/something, so that he would stand up and be himself again… “I am feeling blessed to be right besides sensei at this moment now. I even thank Kobana, from the bottom of my heart, for her death… I am a sinner myself…“
Moving on, in Hajikata san’s room.
Hajikata: “You… WHAT?!”
Okita told Hajikata about Kobana. Because of his ignorance of bushido, he begged Hajikata for punishment.
Okita: “… I was a coward from hounoring Kobana’s dying wish. I was in fear when she approached me and asked to become my woman…. I was too terrified that my entire body could not even move a bit.. and I…. when she died, I was relieved….”
There was a silence in the room, as Hajikata was speechless at Okita’s confession. Suddenly, he sensed someone was earsdropping by the door, “WHO IS IT?”
Who else could that be, but our lovely Sei?! :) ))))
Okita was shocked and embarrased realising his confession was overheard by her… he stood up instantly and was about to leave the room.
Hajikata stopped him: “I will give you the punishment, as you wish. Now, take Kamiya with you to Shimabara” (aka the brothel district).
Okita blushed red, “Pardon?!!!!”
Hajikata: “Despite of his look, that fella (to Kamiya) is surprisingly good with women! Stop being shy… just go and learn a few things about women….. the fact that you were terrified with women was enough to proof you are inexperienced with them!“
And so the pair of baka-couple on their way to visit brothels….
Sei, on one hand reluctant to accompany Okita to Shimabara, on the other clueless on what to do next and yet was desperately trying to encourage Okita….
Sei: “Please, sensei! It is not that bad really… This has to be better than a seppuku!“
Okita: “… just please… forgive me.“
Sei: “Huh?“
Okita: “I will repent… so, please forgive me!“
Sei: “Okita sensei….?“

Chapter 168: Previously, Okita turned and left Sei without saying any further….
Sei: “Wait! Sensei…..!”
Okita: “No way!” and he kept running…..
Sei: “Why not!“
Okita: “Because Kamiya is too scary!……… Oouch!“
Okita was hit by a petty snowball on his head…. it was from a very angry Sei….
Sei: “You call that bushido by running away from problems?!….. Okita sensei, let me ask what sin have you committed exactly?! At least it should not be anything that would make you ask for my forgiveness!
Okita: I failed as a leader as I broke the rules myself… I disapproved Saito’s action, and yet I did the same to you, my sub-ordinate… I…
Being reminded of the kiss on that night, Sei blushed, “This… was that the reason why you asked for forgiveness?“
Okita: This is not it…. when Kobana, who was already in blood and pain, came close to me, I was terrified by her feelings towards me…. I…. I called out your name without realising it….
Okita reflected on the moment when, on hearing Kamiya’s name, Kobana coughed suddenly and rigourously in pain…
Okita: From that moment on, her body became lifeless… Albeit I cannot comprehend exactly what her feeling might be when she heard your name… but there was no way she could not sense my fear of her; it would have been the same as telling her to die, straight on her face!…… Such a cruel person as I am… how could I ever be forgiven?….
Upon heaing Okita’s confession, Sei covered her face with both hands
Okita: See? Now you know what a terrible person I am, don’t you?… So do not show your smile and kindness to your leader anymore. I will explain to Hajikata san later…. You can go now.
Sei stopped Okita from leaving. With tears in her eyes, “.. No. Punishment is not over yet“
Okita: Hajikata san was only joking
Sei: But sensei does not seem to understand!
Okita: What?
Sei: YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WOMEN AT ALL! Do I really have to spell it out?! “Ah Okita sensei is asking me for help, I am feeling so happy”
Okita: huh?
Sei: Do I have to tell you how I felt when I saw Kobana san dying in your embrace? “Ah… thank lord she is dying. How jealous I would have become if she continued to live”!!!!!!!…. Albeit my encouragement to sensei to visit Kobana san, I was far happier when sensei held me tight in your embrace that night! Compare to sensei, I…..!!
Okita: That’s enough!… Please do not blame your own self merely for my sake….. this will only hurt me even more to see you pretending to be strong.
Sei: I am only telling you the truth!!!!
Okita: Oh really. Sure, thank you. Let’s go now.
Sei: LISTEN PROPERLY TO WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WOMEN ARE?! (Now for the first time I can see the Vice Commander being so right!)….
Seems as if to proof her point about Hijikata, Sei grabbed Okita by his collar and dragged him to Shimabara.
Sei: SENSEI SHOULD REALLY LEARN TO UNDERSTAND WOMEN!!
Okita: Please Kamiya!!!!!
At Shimabara, Sei had called for 6 courtesans in one go!
Sei: Come sensei. Which one do you prefer?
Okita: Every woman looks the same to me… Do I really have to do this??
Sei and Okita continued having a funny dialogue about brothel, Okita being surprised by Sei’s knowledge on Shimabara… In the end, Sei mentioned Hijikata’s “order” for Okita to come to Shimabara.
Sei: If sensei really follows bushido, should you not obey the vice captain’s order now?!
Stunned by hearing the word, “order”. Okita: …O…kay…
Sei: So, which one of those 6 will you choose?
Okita: Why? Of course all of them!
Sei: Whhhhat?!
In the end, Okita had a fun time drinking with all the courtesans, whilst Sei sulking on a corner, “Seriously!… Although he kept denying it, he is surprisingly good with women! Come to think of it, he is good looking anyway… At the end of the day, nothing will be impossible so long there is an “order” as an excuse! If he personally does not object, what difference would it make if it were 6 women in one go?!”....
As sei looked up at Okita, she found him with a cheeky smile on his face…..
Embarrassed, Sei continued to sulk… and drank more wine… and became completely drunk.
Later in the evening, Sei woke up finding her self being tugged in “bed” that was set up by the brothel (*wink), whist Okita sitting on a corner afar.
Sei: Why are you sitting so far away?
Okita, looking as if half-drunk: Can I really? Coming close to you??…. What really matters? the Vice captain only ordered me to learn a few things from Kamiya… if I really have to learn about women, then you can be my teacher…. Kamiyaaaaa….
A heart pounding Sei: “Sen…..?” …. Okita fell asleep, dead drunk!
As expected, both woke up with heavy hangover, and Okita not remebering anything about last night!
A cheerful Okita: Thanks to you, it was surprisingly fun visiting Shimabara! I would like to try with more and different courtesans next time!
Sei, rolled-eye and turned to leave: Oh really. Great.
Okita: Please take me there again, se-n-s-ei! ❤
Sei: DEFINITELY NOT!
Okita, smiling rather sillily, looking at the sky, reflecting on the time when Sei lost her cool as she turned completely drunk…
Sei: Okita sensei is a silly dumb!
Okita: Yes, yes. I get it….
Sei: But… I like…. I really like…..
Watching over her on the mattress, Okita’s face blushed…. and then on a corner, he sat there quietly, sipping sake whilst looking at sei with joy, who was sleeping peacefully….
Sei: What are you smiling at?!
Okita: Nothing ❤
It was a lovely and beautiful morning, scarcely disrupted by Okita’s short cough….
Sei: Caught a cold?
Okita: It is alright. Just a bit itchy on the throat….
Chapter finishes with the closing narrative: Nonetheless, in contrast, this is the prelude to a forthcoming storm….

, bảo với anh ấy rằng Kobana có thể chết vào bất cứ ký nào, và không có cách nào cho anh có thể ngăn chặn cái chết của cô ấy.
