After Becoming a Spirit in Date A Live, I Refuse to Date

Lingmeng merely rolled her eyes at Shido's question.

"What? Were you hoping something happened to me so you could have a harem all to yourself?"

"Ah... no, of course I'm glad you're okay."

Shido answered with a wry smile, a bead of cold sweat sliding down his forehead.

But just as Lingmeng tried to take a couple of steps, her strength suddenly gave out.

"Uwah—!"

With a thud, she lost her footing and fell to the floor again.

This time, however, was different.

This time, Lingmeng lay sprawled on the floor.

Whether deliberately or not, she had her left arm stretched forward, her index finger extended.

The blood flowing from her nose ran down her arm to her left index finger, then continued to trail forward in a red line.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Lingmeng delivered a deeply emotional line. "So... don't you ever stop...!"

Then she passed out as though the last of her strength had left her.

"Yeah! I picked mine ages ago!"

"Mm... I've already picked one..."
