Chapter 31 - Slightly Changing the Destiny

[Later]

Gabriel and Moka were near Tsukune and the others, and at that moment, Gabriel felt another person with them, when Gabriel and Moka finally found them, Gabriel's eyes widened for a moment, because the unknown person was Tsukune's cousin, Kyoko Aono.

Gabriel: 'Wait… Does it mean that the mirror is here too?! Fuck!'

Meruem didn't knew what he was talking about and was sure that Gabriel would not say it, so he let it alone. Gabriel couldn't look at the mirror, he may accidentally free Meruem, and then it would be a really big mess.

Tsukune and the others turned around and noticed them.

Tsukune: Hey guys!

Gabriel raised an hand while Moka didn't answered and kept following Gabriel towards the group.

Tsukune: Hey Gabriel, Moka, I want to present you my cousin Kyoko Aono.

Gabriel sized up Kyoko, which she did the same with a suspicious look on her face, then Gabriel extended an arm forward and Kyoko did the same, then they shook their hands.

Gabriel: Hello, I'm Gabriel Brace, I'm a friend of Tsukune here.

Kyoko: Mh, I'm Kyoko Aono, and like he said, I'm his cousin.

Moka looked at her before she said with a blank gaze.

Moka: I'm Akashiya Moka, his girlfriend.

Kyoko: 'So beautiful…'

Kyoko was a bit intimidated from Moka and just nodded, then Gabriel took Tsukune and said.

Gabriel: I need to talk in private with him for a minute, later...

Tsukune: Eh? Wait a…

Then Gabriel took Tsukune away in a deserted place.

Gabriel: Alright, explain.

Tsukune: She's human… I hoped that you would help me not make her find out that this school is for monsters.

Gabriel: *Sigh* Alright…

Then Gabriel and Tsukune walked back to the rest, and started to visit places, Kyoko was getting really suspicious about everything she seen, but everything seemed normal, then she started to walk alone due to need a bit of private time.

She had an envelope in her arms the entire time, and right now it was shaking a bit, making Kyoko suspicious again and opened it to find a old mirror.

Kyoko: Eh? A mirror?

Then she started to shake it, some time later the mirror glowed, and a fairy came out from it.

Lilith: Stop shaking it.... *Sigh* Nice to meet you, I'm the artifact spirit of the mirror, Lilith. Are you my master this time?

Kyoko just looked blankly at it before throwing it away and running, meanwhile Lilith was following her with the mirror.

Kyoko: Nope…

Lilith: Ah, wait up, master…

[Later]

Kyoko stopped running and started to walk with Lilith, who didn't flew away.

Lilith: Thank you for just now, thanks to you, I was able to escape pursuit… To show my gratitude, I am willing to grant you a wish, just say whatever comes to mind, master.

Kyoko: 'What is this? To say that it is created is a little absurd… Maybe it's CG…?'

Lilith: Hmm? Don't tell me… Master thinks that I'm a rare sight? That's for sure, master is human, she hardly sees monsters.

Kyoko: Monster…?

Then she laughed and said.

Kyoko: Don't be silly, how can there be monsters! Don't kid me, I'm not a child.

Lilith: Ehh?! Aren't I in front of you talking to you? Aren't you a little muddle-headed, master? *Sigh* Guess it can't be helped… I can only search for other monsters for you to see…

Then she found a couple, and flew over there.

Lilith: Hey hey, you over there, can you look into the mirror?

The male looked in, and became a triclop.

Extra: Wha!? Why was my disguise removed!? Why, why!?

Kyoko: Ehhhh!?

Then Lilith flew back at Kyoko and said

Lilith: Did you see that? Although he looks like a human on the outside, he is really a monster. Lilith's mirror had the ability to reveal the true nature. When reflected, the monster's true nature will be revealed.

Kyoko: Amazing… That's amazing…

Lilith: How is it? Do you believe now?

Meanwhile, Gabriel was looking at everything from a tree with a serious face. He didn't want to kill her since she was in front of Kyoko, which would give him bad reputation from her, then he didn't wanted to scare Kyoko, unlike the others, she never seen a murder in front of her.

Gabriel: 'Well, when she is alone I will strike…'

[Later]

Kyoko: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…

Lilith: Haha, this is fun!

She was running away from a mob of monsters who were following her. When the two of them lost the mob, Kyoko took deep breaths while talking. Meanwhile, Gabriel was over a tree, watching them.

Kyoko: Let's stop… That's enough Lilith… Let's stop showing the mirror…

Lilith: Eh? Why?

Kyoko: What why… You had your fun… You should be satisfied…

Then Lilith flew towards a group with the mirror and yelled.

Lilith: People over there, please look into this mirror.

Kyoko: Aiii, are you even listening to me!?

Lilith continued to transform the people in monsters and Kyoko panicked.

Lilith: It's too late to regret now! ...To regret it now!

Kyoko: Li… Lilith?!

Lilith: What's wrong? Isn't this what master wished for? Didn't you wish to see the true natu-

She was interrupted when a hand grabbed her, it was Gabriel, who had an annoyed look, then he turned towards Kyoko and said.

Gabriel: Sorry for everything you seen, if you wish an explanation, go to talk to Tsukune.

Kyoko dumbly nodded, surprised from the sudden situation.

Lilith: L-Let me go!

Gabriel: I should be a big idiot if I do it, bye Kyoko.

Kyoko: ...Bye…

Then Gabriel disappeared from her eyes with Lilith in his hands, and appeared in a forest.

Gabriel: Well, I was always curious about what type of monsters there were… But now it's time to end this… 'I'm not going to let this shit happen…'

Gabriel released Lilith for a moment before clapping his hands on her, smashing her as if she was a mosquito, the mirror fell in the ground, and Gabriel stomped on it, breaking it.

Gabriel: Now, a problem solved… Still, the academy was a bit destroyed from these monsters…

While Gabriel enjoyed the sight of Lilith transforming random people in monsters, the latter went is a rampage and broke many things.

Gabriel: *Sigh*

Then he walked back to the academy, while the others except Kyoko didn't have any idea about what happened.
