The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity Chapter 166 is where Tsumugi works at the family bakery and assists his mom in baking cookies but fantasizes about the smile of Kaoruko, indicating that his crush is growing even though the schools have a traditionally established divide. Back in Kikyo, Kaoruko is teased by her friends on why she keeps visiting Chidori, but she waves it away with her customary dignity, having secretly drawn some ideas for a new recipe based on the baking tips given by Tsumugi.
The two cross tracks once more at one of the local markets; they collide as they shop for ingredients, Kaoruko buying to prepare a school bake sale and Tsumugi to make home deliveries. The dialogue between them is smooth, and when Tsumugi timorously asks to show her a simple pastry style, there is an adorable moment where he knocks his hand against her as his bag of flour passes between them.

This creates some lighthearted jokes on school stereotypes, such as how Kikyo girls are perfect and Chidori boys are rough, but they laugh it off, which underscores their true bond. The middle provides deeper emotion as Kaoruko reveals her family expectations that are very strict, which connects to why she loves to bake as a form of escaping her family. Tsumugi tells them his pressures in the bakery life, and they feel even more related.
What will Happen in The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity Chapter 167?
The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity Chapter 167 probably resumes at the bake sale held by Kaoruko at Kikyo Girls High, where Tsumugi appears as promised with supplies, and they first are working together in a high-stress school environment. Expect Tsumugi to feel out of place in the all-girls group initially, with curious glances and gossiping about the competitor boy assisting, but Kaoruko welcomes him with all her heart as they kneel on the dough and garnish sweets together.

Their collaboration is full of little, sweet things, such as when Kaoruko gives him a twist to a Kikyo recipe, and he tells her how he would do things in the bakery and how these differences between them and those of Chidori and Kikyo are actually better than each other, and these little moments are slowly breaking the old biases of the schools.
It might be a light fight in the middle of the chapter when the friends of Tsumugi, who are very fond of Chidori, crash into the sale uninvited because of the rumors, which causes an uneasy situation when some of the Kikyo students respond in different ways, being either surprised or mocking. Kaoruk defends Tsumugi and asks the boys to have a taste of the goods.

It becomes an entertaining game that triggers the thought of having such a joint future event as sharing a booth at a festival. This is the point that strengthens their relationship, as Tsumugi understands how the dignity of Kaoruko makes him braver, which may result in a silent thanksgiving where he acknowledges that he is glad they met on the rainy day.
