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

That was right. Lingmeng had fallen silent because the Yamai Sisters had come in with a blue-haired boy between them.

And that boy was Shido Itsuka, without a doubt!

When Lingmeng first saw Shido, her feelings were a tangled mess.

Then she realized this was no time to dwell on that.

She was soaking in a hot spring, and she didn't have a stitch of clothing on!

If Shido saw her like this, she might never get married—

No, wait! I mean I won't be able to marry Shiori, and I'll have to cling to Shido instead!

"No! I absolutely can't let that happen!"

Lingmeng shook her head hard.

The steam was thick, and Shido and the others hadn't spotted her yet. Lingmeng hurried behind a rock to hide.

Of course, she was also curious about what Shido and the others were going to do, so she poked her head out to catch them in the act—

No, wait! To spy on them!

What's wrong with me today...? Why do I keep thinking such weird things?

Sensing that she wasn't quite herself today, Lingmeng rubbed her head in confusion.

Could she be jealous because the Yamai Sisters were so close to Shido?

Impossible...! Absolutely impossible! It's only Shido. Why would I be jealous?

Lingmeng waved both hands in a rather cute way, fiercely denying it to herself.

Then she focused all her attention on Shido and the others.

"So why did you two come in here with me?"

Shido's mouth twitched as he looked from Kaguya on one side to Yuzuru on the other.

He had planned to bathe alone, but the two of them had dragged him along on the way.

*Yeah, that's what I want to know too. Why did you come into the women's bath? Don't tell
