His Reason

( At the same time.)

Yukino was at her dorm when she looks at her phone it consists of a picture between her and Vera, a picture where the two spend their time with their other female friends which Yukino then cherishes with her heart as she then scrolls for the other pictures.

As she scrolls down her phone, she then remembers something, something that she still remembers during her fight with Rangga inside her mind thanks to Max's telepathy which is.

" Yes, senpai ... the reason I did that is to save someone? " Rangga says as he then points at her.

" I'm doing that to Save You ... " [From Chapter 59: Cold Assailant (3)]

....

As she remembers that, she then wonders to herself while seeing her old photos on her phone.

"( Save me ....? )" Yukino asks.

"( From Vera ....? )" Yukino wonders as she also remembers the memory that Max gives her during that confrontation.

"( Why ...? )" Yukino wonders while scrolling her old photos as she then stumbles upon a photo of her and Vera which she then notices something and zooms the picture.

" This is .... "

" A lie .... right? " Yukino says as the picture she zoomed on shows Vera's reflection in the mirror which looked very different from her.

Seeing that, she gasped and wondered where did they take the picture as she then sees the picture's date.

[ 31 October 2019 ]

[ 07:45 p.m. ]

Seeing that, she remembers that the picture was taken with her back then as she remembers that both of them are having some time in the resort where the two were having fun until.

"( Oh yes, that day ..... )" Yukino remembers the event where at that time before Rangga even become the Titan, there was already a Gate Outbreak which releases many monsters during the Halloween at that time.

*No one knows if the Gate Outbreak was caused by nature or by a person, but the thing is, the Outbreak almost makes the people back there panic as the heroes also had trouble dealing with it while Undefeated is on his big mission as always.

At that time, Yukino remembers that she and Vera are both trying to fend off some monsters as Vera unleashes her fire ability which helps them defeat the monster there.

As the two fight, one of the monsters then comes to them and attacks Vera as the other monster then follows it.

While it happened, Yukino then tries to kill many monsters as they can in order to help Vera finishes off her monsters.

At that time, unnoticed by Yukino, the monsters that attacked suddenly bite Vera's arm and then pull out her hand.

Vera screams as she then bursts out a great fire that burned all of the monsters at that time with her blazing flames.

" Vera !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " Yukino calls her as she sees her engulfed in flames while she herself decides to finish off the remaining monsters in her area.

When she decides to approach Vera, Vera then comes out from the fire as her hand was completely back in the shape unnoticed by Yukino while the dead monster below her is still biting her arm that it bite out earlier.

As the two reunite, they then went far away from the place as they then both decide to take time in the nearby restaurant where the two then discuss the event and that time.

Clicckk ....

Vera then takes a selfie of both of them as the selfie takes place in a background full of mirrors which both of them then have on their phones forever as a token of their friendship.

...

( Back to the Present.)

" Vera ..... " Yukino says as she sees the reflection clearly she then sees the reflection looked like some kind of a humanoid monster that had wings and horns as Vera's skin was also shown as Pale White.

Seeing that, Yukino then suddenly reminds that Vera usually avoids mirrors for an unknown reason as she always looked very beautiful without even using makeup like any other girl which currently makes Yukino's brain work very hard.

"( Oh yeah ..... Vera is also known to never want to eat vegetables for some unknown reasons .... )" she says as she remembers that Vera is known to eat all types of meat from any kinds of animals.

"( Not just that, ... )"

"( Is it just me or .... )"

"( I myself never also see her parents or her home during our friendship ....? )" Yukino wonders as she asks herself how did she miss those details in her time with Vera which technically gives her an opportunity to know more about her.

As Yukino thinks to herself, she then decided to trace back everything about Vera on the internet or on social media which she then brushes off that idea since she knows that Vera doesn't have any and then decides to ask the principal about Vera tomorrow in the school.

"(There are still many things that I don't know about the truth ... )" Yukino says while touching her head.

"( About Vera's origin and about's the meaning behind Rangga's words .... )" Yukino says as both Vera and Rangga are the things that fill her mind now which makes her think more about everything.

As she thinks about it, she then feels that tomorrow is the perfect time to do her search as she needs to sleep as the hour shows the shift of days.

While thinking about it, Yukino then goes to her bed in order to relax her body she then falls asleep while putting her enchantment on her pillow to wake her if there's something out of the ordinary as she delves into the world of dreams.

As she closes her eyes, Yukino then dreams about the past where she remembers that Vera bought her some of the kind enchantment that she says to buy from the nearest temple as she gives it to her Yukino then keeps it as her necklace.

" Thanks Vera ... " Yukino says to her.

" You're welcome ..... " Vera tells her while her eyes suddenly change.

" And have sweet dreams ... " when she says that, the scene of the dream changes into a nightmarish scene where Yukino can see herself in the mirror that Vera is biting her on the neck as she then looks at her in the mirror in front of her which reflects the mirror in front of Yukino as both of them are inside a room full of mirrors.

" Efufufufuf ... "

" Hello ... Yu ... ki ... no .... "

" You're awake ... " Vera says while Yukino then sees the enchantment that Vera gives her is somehow unleashing a powerful dark aura as it horrifies her, waking her up from the dream immediately.

" GASP " Yukino awakes as she then asks herself what the dream means while she then feels the same dark aura from her dream as she then pulls out the necklace enchantment she then sees that the enchantment is the source of the Dark Aura.

Seeing that, Yukino is horrified to see it as she throws the enchantment away while remembering Rangga's words about saving her.

" Oh by the Diviners .... " Yukino says as she puts both of her hands to her face.

" Oh by the Diviners ... " Yukino says as she was shaken about the thing she experiences recently.
