My personal opinion on Gensokyo

"My stomach is so full right now..."

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Before Sakata Gintoki could finish his words, Okita Mitsuha started coughing violently, looking like she would die at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Okita Sougo shouted in panic to the owner of the Yorozuya.

"boss!!!"

After shaking his head vigorously, as if to get rid of all the hesitation from his head, Sakata Gintoki also had a desperate look on his face and gave orders loudly.

"Help, help prepare some water!"

After shouting, Sakata Gintoki swallowed the chocolate sundae covered with chili sauce in one gulp without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, Sakata Gintoki's face instantly turned fiery red, and a flame suddenly burst out from Sakata Gintoki's throat.

“Ugh!”

Sougo Okita didn't care that the Yorozuya owner had already lost consciousness from the spiciness, and rushed over to help his sister who was about to fall to the ground, and asked anxiously.

"Sister, sister, what's wrong with you, sister?!"

"Ahem! Don't worry, Mr. Xiao."

Opening her eyes, Okita Mitsuha smiled gently again.

"I just choked on the hot sauce."

Bang!

Hearing Okita Mitsuha's gentle words, Sakata Gintoki, who was still in the posture of swallowing a chili chocolate sundae, suddenly fell down and hit the table in front of him.

PS1: I recommend a novel. What is it like to become a Hell Girl?

PS2: As a fellow chef, I am very happy.

"Hahahaha!" ×2

At this moment, unbridled laughter came from the seat next to him. Hearing the laughter, Okita Sougo took two steps forward in confusion and looked towards the seat next to him.

When he saw the gray-haired young man and the petite black-haired girl sitting next to him and couldn't help laughing, Okita Sougo was slightly stunned.

"...Oh, it's you, the business owner across from the boss (Sakata Gintoki)'s house."

"Ahem... hello, Okita-kun."

After noticing that he had been discovered by Okita Sougo, the young businessman with gray hair stopped laughing, coughed, and greeted the captain of the Shinsengumi's First Division as if nothing had happened.

"What a coincidence."

Similarly, the petite black-haired girl, who was originally sitting on the sofa seat in only black socks, hugging her knees, lowering her head and laughing so hard that her whole body was shaking, also suppressed her laughter, put on her shoes, picked up the coffee on the table, and took a sip with pretended seriousness.

"Ah, Mr. Xiao?"

Her sister, Mitsuha Okita, also approached and asked with a smile.

"Is it someone you know?"

At the same time, Sakata Gintoki, who had finally recovered after drinking a lot of ice water, also stood up and looked at the next room, and was slightly stunned.

"...It's you."

After exchanging pleasantries.

"Then, is Mr. Shang Yang also Mr. Xiao's friend?"

After sitting down again, Okita Mitsuha looked at the serious and handsome young man opposite her and asked curiously.

"Well, we just met... (a) Ling Qi privately covered Liu skirt to chat..."

Shang Yang was just about to say that we had only met a few times, but at this moment he unexpectedly noticed that Okita Sougo, who was sitting next to Okita Mitsuha, had a pleading look on his face.

Shang Yang, who understood what Okita Sougo meant, sighed imperceptibly and replied casually.

"Let's just be friends..."

"Eh...it turns out that Mr. Sousa has young friends like Mr. Shangyang in Edo."

Hearing Shang Yang's affirmative statement, Okita Mitsuha showed a very happy smile, and turned her gaze to Shana, who was sitting next to Shang Yang, sipping coffee expressionlessly, and asked softly with the same curiosity.

"So, this Miss Shana, is she Mr. Shang Yang's?"

“…I don’t have any special relationship with him.”

Hearing this, Shana put down the cup and hummed softly.

"It's just an ordinary acquaintance."

Hearing Shana's answer, Shang Yang shrugged helplessly.

If I were to answer this question myself, the answer would definitely be "a relationship that is more closely connected than any other relationship in the world."

Although if I say that, Ms. Shana will definitely go berserk...

"Oh~ We're just acquaintances."

Similarly, hearing Shana's answer that was obviously insincere, Okita Mitsuha smiled lightly and then asked for help.

"Then please get along well with Mr. Sakata. He's not always good at expressing himself. Oh, and by the way, let me teach you another way to make food delicious, different from what I just taught Mr. Sakata."

After the gentle and generous Okita sister finished speaking, before Shang Yang and Shana could react, Okita Mitsuha brought their coffee to herself. She also picked up two bottles of chili sauce from somewhere and poured it into the two cups of coffee with a gentle smile...

Seeing this scene, Okita Sougo couldn't help but hold his forehead and looked at his smiling sister helplessly.

At the same time, seeing this scene, Sakata Gintoki, with a black face, immediately complained.

"What's the difference?!"

"Uh...this..."

Similarly, Shang Yang broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this scene, and Shana even swallowed lightly, looking cute with lingering fear.

"It's done~"

After emptying both bottles of chili sauce, Okita Mitsuha raised her head, still with a gentle smile.

"Please feel free to enjoy your meal."

"..."

Everyone except Okita Mitsuha was silent.

After realizing she couldn't refuse, Shana gritted her teeth and took the first trembling hand of a cup of "coffee" that had turned bright red.

"...Shana, calm down."

Noticing Shana's actions, Shang Yang immediately moved closer to Shana's ear and whispered with difficulty.

"If you drink this, you'll die..."

"...There's no other way now, right?"

Shana, who was also familiar with the comics, understood that the Okita sister in front of her was not a prankster, but simply believed that everyone in the world liked super spicy chili sauce as much as she did. Therefore, she found it difficult to refuse Okita Mitsuha's kindness and enthusiasm. She glared at Shang Yang and muttered something nervously.

"No, it's okay, it's just coffee with chili in it, I can handle it!"

What are you going to solve?

Hearing that Shana was simply forcing herself to speak out of fear, Shang Yang looked at the petite girl who was trembling beside him and sighed deeply.

...Forget it, let me do it.

After making the decision, Shang Yang snatched the chili sauce coffee from Shana's hand, who hadn't reacted yet, closed his eyes, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

The second cup of chili sauce coffee followed closely behind, picked up by the young man with gray hair and poured into his mouth.

"...Hey, hey, hey, this guy."

Seeing the young businessman's risk-taking action, Sakata Gintoki was stunned for a moment and sighed with admiration.

“I didn’t expect it to be so powerful.”

"Shang, Shang Yang?!"

Shana, who was also frightened by Shang Yang's bold move, showed an undisguised look of panic in an instant and asked in a panic through the mental connection.

"No, it's okay?!"

"Ahem, it's okay..."

After coughing violently a few times and finally suppressing the spicy feeling, the young man with gray hair twitched his mouth and answered quietly.

"I feel numb all over..."

"...Humph, who told you to act cool?"

Hearing Shang Yang's words, Shana hummed softly, and the panic on her pretty face disappeared. Then she tilted her head awkwardly and quietly expressed her unique concern in an awkward tone.

"……Fool."

...This reaction seems to be a win.

Shang Yang felt quite relieved by the awkward concern of the petite black-haired girl.

Turning his gaze once again to Sister Okita who was smiling expectantly, Shang Yang managed a wry smile.

"...It's a taste you'll never forget, Ms. Okita."

Of course, the moment Shang Yang spoke, he decided in his heart that he would avoid the Okita siblings when he met them in the future.

Even though I like spicy food, I can't stand such a horrible way of eating...

but……

Thinking of this, Shang Yang looked thoughtfully at Okita Mitsuha again, who seemed very happy to see him drink the chili sauce coffee, and shook his head slightly.

In Shang Yang's sight, the corrupt breath of life had already spread throughout Okita Mitsuha's entire body.

This smell of corruption is the "epidemic air".

Not only was the epidemic caused by her serious illness, but when she was young, Mitsuha Okita had already overdrawn her health due to hard work in order to take care of her younger brother and family.

The vitality of life almost disappeared without a trace in the delicate body of this young woman.

If she did not suffer from a serious illness, she could recover through long-term recuperation and drinking qi-replenishing medicines for a long time. However, in the current situation, the serious lung disease of Okita Mitsuha is constantly devouring Okita Mitsuha's life, and any treatment method that seriously damages the body's vitality, such as surgery, may directly cause Okita Mitsuha to die during treatment.

The life of Okita Sougo's elder sister, Okita Mitsuha, is like a candle in the wind and is about to come to an end.

Volume 4 Edo Chronicles: Chapter 212: That Person

Noticing Okita Mitsuha's current physical condition, Shang Yang once again casually glanced at the Okita siblings who were extremely happy to see each other after a long separation, and then he no longer showed any extra expression.

Shang Yang picked up the ice water that the waiter had just brought and drank it in big gulps.

Half of my body is still numb at this moment. The smell of chili sauce mixed with coffee is really too shocking...

"Well, we've almost finished our delicious meal. Since you're all Mr. Boss's friends, why don't we go play on the street together?"

Seeing that all the food on the table had been cleared out, Okita Mitsuha clapped her hands lightly and suggested with a smile.

"Where should we go next?"

"If you want to go somewhere..."

Shang Yang, who had originally planned to be alone with Shana today, changed his mind and spoke thoughtfully.

"We know a good place..."

After a while, we arrived at Akihabara, the center of Edo.

Looking at Okita Mitsuha not far ahead, who was full of interest in everything in Akihabara, and Okita Sougo and Sakata Gintoki who were pulled over by her, the young man with gray hair rubbed his hair, turned his face to the side, and apologized to the petite black-haired girl who had her arms folded and looked a little helpless.

"I'm sorry, Shana. I was supposed to come here with you."

"... Never mind. Don't worry about it."

Shana sighed softly, turned sideways, and waved her hand.

"After all, it was an emergency. We didn't expect to suddenly run into the Okita siblings."

After graciously expressing her understanding, the petite black-haired girl turned her face away again and muttered quietly to herself.
