I Became a Spirit in Date A Live, but I Refuse to Date

Lingmeng sat on Shido's stomach with her legs folded beneath her.

She grabbed his shoulders and shook him hard, tears glimmering at the corners of her eyes.

Shido had no idea why she was acting this way. He could only stare at her in bewilderment.

"Ling... Lingmeng, why are you here? And what are you talking about?"

"I'm not listening, I'm not listening! Explaining yourself means you're covering it up, and covering it up means it's true!

"I just saw the look on Kaguya's and Yuzuru's faces! Are you still going to deny it?"

Lingmeng squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head as she shouted.

Shido could only grumble inwardly.

But I haven't explained anything yet...

Then, as though she had accepted the truth, Lingmeng rubbed her eyes and whimpered.

"Mm... waah..."

She looked exactly like a wife whose husband had been stolen by someone else.

All she could do was vent her frustration. She couldn't manage anything else.

"Wait—Lingmeng, calm down!"

Realizing Lingmeng thought he had slept with the Yamai Sisters, Shido hurried to explain.

But Lingmeng said between sobs,

"How am I supposed to calm down? Shido, you're not pure anymore...!"

"Uh—"

Shido opened his mouth, then closed it again. This misunderstanding ran deep.

Seeing him at a loss, the Yamai Sisters, their expressions back to normal, hurried over.

They helped Lingmeng off Shido.

"Kukuku, it seems my follower has misunderstood something. Shido, of all people? How could he possibly claim both my body and Yuzuru's?"

"Explanation. Lingmeng, you seem to have misunderstood. Shido was only helping Yuzuru and Kaguya put on sunscreen. Nothing else happened."

"Mm... really?"

After hearing them out, Lingmeng finally calmed down a little.

She lifted her tear-reddened, damp face and looked at them pitifully.

Waah—she's too cute!
