I Became a Spirit in Date A Live, but I Refuse to Go on Dates

Then the two locked eyes—

"Origami Tobiichi!"

"Tohka Yatogami...!"

Tohka and Origami pointed at each other in surprise.

"Why are you here!?"

"That's what I should be asking."

When Origami showed no intention of answering, Tohka turned her head away in a huff.

"Hmph. I'll let you off for today. I have something important to do."

Tohka was at a loss for words. Given what had happened, Origami's theory wasn't without merit.

If it was true, all of Shido's and Lingmeng's earlier behavior made sense.

Shido had disappeared to see Origami, while Lingmeng had shown up to keep Tohka from looking for him.

But Tohka wasn't about to take Origami's word for it.

"Do you have any proof?"

"No."

"Then
