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

"Th-this was beyond my control... I couldn't do anything about it..."

Meanwhile, because Shido had sealed Yoshino's Spirit Power, the blizzard barrier surrounding the three of them began to dissolve.

Brilliant sunlight poured through the clouds and fell on Shido, Lingmeng, and Yoshino.

And with the barrier gone, Healing Flame flared up around Shido once more.
