After becoming a Spirit in Date A Live, I refuse to date

"Is that so? I don't believe you."

Shido folded his arms as he said that.

After all, if he and Lingmeng hadn't happened to run into Miku yesterday, he might still not have known there was an idol named Miku Izayoi.

Tonamachi pointed at Shido and shouted.

"If you actually find someone who doesn't know Miku, I'll eat spaghetti with my ass!"

Kaguya and Yuzuru both greeted Origami.

She merely nodded calmly and replied, "Mm."
