I, Who Became a Spirit in Date A Live, Refuse to Date

Lingmeng smiled as she walked up to Shido and said,

Shido raised his head and spoke with a look of utter despair.

"It's not like you were the one being hated by everyone...!"

As for why this had happened, that went back to a few minutes earlier.

---------------- I'm the separator for shifting the timeline

A few minutes earlier, when Shido and the others had just arrived at school, a cute junior schoolgirl suddenly ran over and handed Shido a love letter.

She said, "Senior Itsuka... I've actually admired you for a long time... This is how I feel... I hope you'll accept it...!"

Shido glanced at Tohka beside him and awkwardly accepted the letter.

If this had been the usual Shido, he would definitely have hesitated upon encountering such a situation, then thought about how to reject her tactfully.

However, because of what had just happened, Shido subconsciously assumed that the "junior schoolgirl" in front of him had been sent by Ratatoskr to train him.

With the mindset that he would "definitely complete the training this time," Shido directly threw away the love letter and added,

"I could never like someone like you. Give up."

Those were the kinds of words only a scumbag would say.

And so, the junior schoolgirl ran off crying and shouting, "I hate Senior Itsuka and everything about him!"

Although he knew it was training, seeing the junior schoolgirl's incredibly realistic performance still made Shido's conscience ache.

However, the matter did not end there.

After Shido asked Kotori whether the junior schoolgirl from earlier was one of Ratatoskr's people, he received a puzzled answer from his younger sister.

"What are you talking about? We did arrange for a junior schoolgirl to deliver a love letter, but our staff member hasn't made an appearance yet."
