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

Meanwhile, Tohka called out from nearby.

"Hey, Lingmeng! Come over here!"

"Coming!"

Lingmeng smiled at Tohka, who was waving to her up ahead.

Then she brought Origami over to join them.

Tohka excitedly pointed at the pool beside them.
