I Became a Spirit in Date A Live and Refused to Date

With that, Lingmeng turned to Shido.

"Shido, are you all right?"

"..."

Shido stared at Lingmeng, who had appeared out of nowhere and knocked two unsuspecting Spirits to the ground. For a moment, he couldn't react.

But he quickly came to his senses.

"Oh... I'm mostly fine, but Lingmeng, you..."

As he spoke, Shido glanced at the huge bumps on Kaguya's and Yuzuru's heads.

"Don't you think you hit them a little too hard...?"

"Hm? Did I?"

Lingmeng glanced at the two on the ground in surprise, then tilted her head.

"Weren't they about to attack you? They looked so fierce."

"No. They've been fighting each other this whole time. Neither of them tried to attack me."

"Oh—so I got it wrong?"

Lingmeng looked sheepish as she spoke. At the same time, the two on the ground regained consciousness.

"Ow, ow, ow... Damn it! Who dared ambush me, the Son of the Hurricane?"

"Outrage. Striking when someone isn't looking calls for punishment."

Holding their heads, the two looked up at Lingmeng with resentful eyes.

Under their stares, a bead of cold sweat ran down Lingmeng's face.

"Um... I didn't mean to..."

Lingmeng swallowed and instinctively took a few steps back.

But they clearly didn't believe her. Both raised their right hands and summoned their Angels.

"Come forth! Hurricane Knight (Raphael)—El Re'em!"

"Answer my call, Hurricane Knight (Raphael)—El Nahash."

The spear and chain-shaped Angels appeared in their hands once more.

"Hey, hey—you don't have to summon your Angels! I said I didn't mean it!"

Sensing trouble, Lingmeng hurriedly waved both hands as she tried to explain.

"Enough talk! Be pierced by my Black Arrow!"

"Question. Didn't you call it the Black Magic Spear earlier? Heh."

"Don't laugh!"

Before Lingmeng could say anything more, Kaguya and Yuzuru attacked her with their Angels.
