I Became a Spirit in Date A Live and Refused to Go on Dates

"Well, let's go in."

Lingmeng entered the code for the medical room door.

With a click, the door opened.

"Excuse us."

"..."

Lingmeng cautiously poked her head inside. After confirming that Shido was still asleep, she went in.

Reine followed close behind.

They walked over to Shido's bed, pulled up a chair each, and sat down.

"Reine, if Kotori is a Spirit, does that mean Shido has to win her over?"

Lingmeng asked.

Reine nodded gently.

"...Yes. Sealing Spirits is Little Shido's responsibility, and Kotori will be in danger if she isn't sealed."

"Danger? What do you mean?"

"...You know what's happening to Kotori right now, don't you?"

"You mean the urge to destroy things in her head?"

"...That's right. If we leave Kotori as she is, that urge will take over her mind within two days.

"If that happens, Kotori won't be Kotori anymore."

"Hiss—"

Lingmeng drew a sharp breath at Reine's words.

"But Shido sealed Kotori's Spirit Power before, didn't he?

"Doesn't that mean her affection for Shido is already high enough for him to seal her without a date?

"Then why go to the trouble? Has her affection for him dropped too low for him to seal her now?"

Reine shook her head.

"So, as a reward for all her hard work, we've decided to grant her wish to go on a date with Shido."

Her affection has been maxed out this whole time? That's a little scary...

Lingmeng broke into an awkward sweat. At
