Macross Empire

On the steel arena, although the gorgeous crimson energy lotus had a violent attack, it did not directly sweep in all directions like the ordinary Qi Jin move. Although it feels extremely dangerous, but its fiery power is directly shrinking towards the inside of the energy lotus? !

Not to mention the difficulty of this move, but the effect it represents can be seen by everyone. Keith Howard, who was originally surrounded by red energy lotuses, planned to use the storm of fighting spirit to break free and protect this big move, but now What he was facing was the red energy lotus Huo Huo Huo Zha, which was expected to be broken, but the power of Huo Huo Huo Zha was all directed towards the inside, which was a complete disaster for Keith Howard who did not expect it!

As a result, when Keith Howard showed his figure again, all fighters understood that there was no suspense in the outcome of this match.

Because, the current Keith Howard is having difficulty even trying to stand firm, and the red and white martial arts uniform that he was originally wearing has become a beggar's attire.Even on the wobbly Keith Howard, the horrifying wounds where his bones could even be seen were clearly visible, and bright red blood flowed directly from the wounds...

……

On the steel arena, Keith Howard and Mai Shiranui looked at each other, who were facing each other again.

Mai Shiranui's words did not seem to have changed in the slightest from when she first appeared on the stage, and there was not even a trace of fighting on her body, as relaxed and indifferent as if she was just drinking tea and chatting just now.

Compared to the calm Mai Shiranui, Keith Howard would be in a state of embarrassment. He looks beggar and has been seriously injured, if he hadn't just fully activated his unique move, Dou Qi Storm, when the crimson energy lotus was restrained and violent. Keith Howard reckoned that he would end up like the twisted and melted alloy steel floor under his feet.

Of course, relying on the full protection of the Dou Qi storm and a little bit of luck, Keith Howard certainly survived the move of [Heart Flame·Lotus Dance].But Keith Howard, who was covered in bruises all over his body and was almost unable to stand upright himself, what strength could he have to defeat Mai Shiranui who was in full state?

"Huh...huh...you won! What are you waiting for?"

Looking at Mai Shiranui standing opposite him, with a trace of nostalgia and sadness in his eyes but not looking at him, Keith Howard panted heavily to stabilize his body, and shouted loudly to Mai Shiranui on the opposite side.

Keith Howard did not choose to concede defeat and exit!

This is not only because of Keith Howard's unwillingness to admit defeat, but Keith Howard also fully understands that he killed Mai Shiranui's boyfriend Andy (he didn't know that for Mai Shiranui, Andy Already an ex-boyfriend) and his brother Terry, they have already resolved their unbroken feud with each other.

Compared to being killed by the opponent like hunting wild dogs after admitting defeat, Keith Howard would rather stand on the ring and maintain the glory of a warrior and die on the spot!

"Gith, use your head to commemorate everything in the past! Sakura Dance!!!"

Seeing Keith Howard's firm, abnormal and tyrannical eyes, Mai Shiranui, who had recovered from some memories of Andy before, showed a smile, and then said to Keith Howard, the target of his must-kill this time.

In the next second, Mai Shiranui suddenly put on a kimono embroidered with pink cherry blossom patterns, and then began to spin and dance on the ring, and softly hummed a song in the world of "King of Fighters" Not a well-known tune.

cherry blossom day

Encounter under the tree

For you

dance with joy

……

Sakura petals fluttering in the sky

in the season of romance

want to tell you secretly

my love

however

you didn't notice

……

Shortly after

falling cherry blossom petals

I'm the only one left

Looking at the withered cherry blossoms

Looking into the distance to leave the figure

shed tears

……

On the day when the cherry blossoms bloom again

I am alone

dance again...

When the song called "Sakura Dance" was slowly sung by Mai Shiranui, Keith Howard, who was barely standing, and the fighters in the surrounding contestants' seats seemed to see that under the sunshine of cherry blossoms, Next, at the first meeting between the girl and her lover, the girl danced under the tree while showing a flourishing smile to her lover.

——To the astonishment, in the steel arena, translucent cherry blossom petals, accompanied by Mai Shiranui's dancing and singing voice, seemed to condense from the void to appear on the arena.This scene raised the eyes of many fighters who were not completely intoxicated by the singing, but no one interrupted Mai Shiranui's singing.

When Mai Shiranui sang to the second verse, everyone seemed to have seen the blushing girl waving to her lover at the still flourishing cherry tree, but the girl's lover didn't understand the girl's mind, It makes the girl a little shy and a little angry at her lover's incomprehension.

Turning to the third beat, under the cherry blossom tree that has begun to wither, the girl stands alone under the cherry blossom tree, looking at the withered cherry blossom tree and the lover who has been far away, tears flowed from the corner of her eyes.

In the end, under the cherry blossom tree that bloomed again next year, accompanied by the rain of beautiful cherry blossom petals, the girl danced again by herself, but this time she was the only one...

"Plop—————!"

When Mai Shiranui's singing stopped and the cherry blossom petals on the ring disappeared, Keith Howard who was standing up suddenly fell down. If you turn over his face-down corpse, you can even see the deadly scar between his eyebrows. Small wound!

What makes ordinary people feel a little weird and frightening is that Keith Howard, who has died, did not resist at all, and even had a warm smile on his face, as if he had seen something beautiful, and he did not face it at all. Emotions such as determination and fear of death.

"Andy, goodbye..."

Mai Shiranui, who stopped dancing and singing, took off her cherry blossom kimono and a fan she kept in her hand. After seeing the dead Keith Howard on the steel ring, she just sang Shiranui of her inner feelings After Mai recited silently in her heart, she threw the Sakura kimono and the fan on Keith Howard without hesitation.

In the next second, Keith Howard, the Sakura kimono, and the fan suddenly burned, and the almost white flames almost instantly involved the Sakura kimono, the fan, and the body of Keith Howard himself, and then directly in the short-lived Turned it into some ashes in a dozen seconds...
