What Can You Expect From Wind Breaker Chapter 226?

Since the previous chapter ended, it is expected that Wind Breaker Chapter 226 would focus on Rakta's reaction to the entry of Umemiya into the story. Rakta was a spectator to their conversation and has changed his attitude towards Bofurin's group. It will be interesting to see if this change leads to cooperation or suspicion.
Sakura and others are feeling anxious as they are in an unknown area. It will be interesting to see if Wind Breaker Chapter 226 includes the character dynamics among members of Red Champur since only a few of them are shown.
What Happened in Wind Breaker Chapter 225?

The chapter opened with Sakura’s group being confronted by Rakta, one of the leaders from Red Champur, with the help of two other marked members, soon after entering Banku Gai. He demanded an explanation as to why a group of men was chasing a boy. A local merchant accused the boy of stealing bread.
Things got tense when Sakura’s group stood between the anger of the merchant and the suspicious members from Red Champur. The boy did not know Japanese and could only stand and watch as the protests continued.
So, Umemiya stepped in, saying that he’d pay for the bread. The shopkeeper punched him for that. But Umemiya didn’t get mad and kept cool, trying to make the shopkeeper see his side of the story and apologizing to him on behalf of the kid.
He gave the bread back to the boy and explained to him that stealing is not the only way to solve issues. By the end of the chapter, both Sakura and Rakta were looking at Umemiya silently, asking a lot of questions in their heads before heading to Wind Breaker Chapter 226.
