Buddyfight Ace, Path To Liberation

Path To Liberation, Love Is In The Air (Chap 25)

Synopsis: Despite the battles are going on, a break is required. And as the full moon shines bright in a beautiful night, two people decided to.....

Anime Opening: Knock On Your Gate

At his Throne room, Hou Ren was feeling saddened and disappointed that Magician & Rockstar lost as he reacts to them through a screen.

Hou Ren: You both did your best.....(Shuts the screen down) (Activates Comms) Garga. Sensei. Retrieve them to the healing bay.

Sensei & Garga: Got It.

Hou Ren: (Thought in calm rage) They grown stronger....Just Great.....Even still, there's no way I'm gonna succumb to them.....But if I were to lose then....

Hou Ren then takes out his phone and looks at his pictures of him and Shiloh sharing happy moments together. Looking at them, he smiles sadly. He then press a button on his throne.

Hou Ren: Sweetie. Can we talk for a sec?

Shiloh then walks to him from behind.

Shiloh: Yes Hou Ren?

Hou Ren: Yeah I just...(Pause in surprise) Woah...

Shiloh is wearing a new beautiful pink dress. Her hair became longer a bit. She sparkles bright as a glowing sun as she smiles warmly. Her Aura was even shown.

Shiloh: Do you need something?

Hou Ren: (Blushes in Embarrassment) Um...(grabs his collar) Why...Do you...You look cute I MEAN Beautiful. (Ahem) Beautiful. Yes. Beautiful.

Shiloh: (Chuckles) Are you okay? Is this because of my new dress?

Hou Ren: What's the occasion?

Shiloh: I thought why not try a new look and surprise you. But never mind that. What do you want to talk about?

Hou Ren: Oh....uh...

After a brief transition, the two of them are at the Sanctuary's Arena. They are standing right in front of the full moon.

Shiloh: So you're worried that you're gonna lose?

Hou Ren: It's not that I'm worried about. It's the aftermath. Answer me honestly, if I were to lose later, would you rather leave or...would you stay by my side?

Shiloh: Why are you asking that?

Hou Ren: Just give it to me straight. I'll accept whatever answer you have.

Hearing this, Shiloh turn from curiosity to warm smile. She comforts him along the way.

Shiloh: Well...when you put it that way...I don't mind if you lose.

Hou Ren: You don't?

Shiloh: (Shakes head) I don't care whether you lose or match or not. Buddyfight may be an important asset but I'm not letting it deciding our lives. After all, it's just a game.

Hou Ren: Shiloh....

She then walks in front and grab his hands.

Shiloh: I never told you this. But ever since you saved me from that accident, I want to be by your side even more. I'm not gonna lie, I tend to think you're self absorbed but...

Hou Ren: I've proven you wrong didn't I?

Shiloh: Mmm....But please, don't risk your life like that again Okay? (Hugs him tight) I don't want to lose you...

Shiloh begin to cry as tears came out sadly. Feeling surprised and saddened, now it's Hou Ren that's comforting her.

Hou Ren: Hey Hey, It's okay.....It's okay. (softly pat her & smiles) I'm right here.....(kiss her head)
