Date a Live:Date Under The Moon Chapter 215 215: Attack at the Station

"Hey, hey, you're kidding, right?"

"Damn it, is he the protagonist of an ani or sothing?"

"Explode! All riajuu should explode!"

As the three of them walked, various words filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred occasionally drifted into Shido's ears on the wind.

"Hey, Origami, Yakumo-senpai, isn't it about ti you let go of ?"

Shido said awkwardly. Although it was night, Izu's nightlife was not lonely, as expected of a tourist destination. Whether locals or tourists, people were still lingering around street stalls and izakaya.

However, even for people who enjoyed nightlife, the combination of Shido, Origami, and Mikoto was far too rare, making them unable to stop themselves from glancing over. After all—it was the sight of one boy walking down the street with two beautiful girls hugging his arms from both sides in intimate harmony.

"Considering the possibility of combat, replenishnt of Shido elents is necessary."

Upon hearing Shido's words, Origami instead hugged Shido's arm even tighter.

"Mm-hm. Replenishing Shido elents is very important for us."

Mikoto also agreed with a smile.

"I'm saying, what exactly are Shido elents?"

Hearing Shido's words, Mikoto and Origami glanced at each other, then answered in unison:

"Love." x2 (TL: Explode! All riajuu should explode!)

"Haa…"

In the end, Shido sighed as if resigned to his fate.

Woooooo—!

While the three of them were walking, the piercing sound of a siren ca from behind them. It was not the spacequake alarm they were used to hearing, but the sound of a police car.

"It's Doma-san, Shido!"

With a Spirit's excellent dynamic vision, Mikoto caught sight of the figure inside the police car. It was Doma.

"!!!"

The three exchanged glances, confirming from each other's eyes the sa thought—that they had to chase after him.

And so, they broke into a sprint, running in the direction the police car was headed.

"Damn it!"

However, the police car was extrely fast, and before long, they lost sight of it.

Although the Spirits could fly, there were still pedestrians here. It was not a deserted situation like during a spacequake alarm. Girls suddenly flying into the sky would absolutely beco the headline of tomorrow's newspaper.

In the end, they could only rely on their impressions and head in the direction the police car might have gone.

After who knew how long, the bustling streets disappeared. On the road dotted only by a few streetlamps, not a single pedestrian could be seen anymore.

"Shido!"

Mikoto and Origami exchanged glances. The two of them deployed partial Astral Dresses and brought Shido into the air.

Boom—!

Under the night sky, firelight flared from an abandoned station in the distance.

The three arrived there and found the police car burning with roaring flas, while Doma himself was lying unconscious on the ground not far away.

"Doma-san!"

Shido ran forward and helped the unconscious Doma up.

"Shido, watch out!"

At that mont, a laser shot across the air, heading toward Shido's head. Mikoto rushed to Shido's side at the last second and deployed a barrier to protect him.

"What is that?"

Shido turned his head and saw the attacker. It was a humanoid machine with a strange physique, completely different from Kurumi—the Bandersnatch.

"DEM?"

Mikoto frowned. Although they had considered the possibility, it seed DEM was involved in this matter after all.

However, that Bandersnatch was sowhat different from the ones they normally saw.

Kakakakakakakakaka—!

Black spiritual power surrounded the tal fra. The Bandersnatch trembled, making the distinctive sound of chanical friction. Then, a powerful laser shot toward Tsukuyomi.

However, although it was an overly lethal monster to Doma, in the eyes of the Spirits, it was not much of a threat.

"tatron!"

As the night barrier blocked the laser, wings slid toward the Bandersnatch and easily pierced through it.

"Doma-san."

After dealing with the enemy, Mikoto turned her head toward Doma. He seed to have regained a trace of consciousness. He struggled to open his eyes and let out a weak voice.

"You… are…"

However, before he could finish speaking, he fell unconscious again.

"There's no helping it. Let's go back first."

Mikoto exchanged glances with Origami and Shido, then said that.

After that, they brought the unconscious Doma back to the inn. Origami, who had extensive experience treating external injuries, quickly finished treating him.

While everyone was relieved that Doma's injuries were not serious, they were also astonished at what kind of skill tree Origami had built for herself, considering how seemingly omnipotent she was.

"You… where is this…"

A short while later, Doma woke up. He looked at everyone, his head still sowhat hazy.

"Doma-san, what exactly happened? Why were you there?"

Mikoto asked.

"That's right. I received a report saying traces of the serial killer had been found at the abandoned station, so I headed there."

Doma pressed a hand to his forehead, trying to recall everything that had happened earlier.

"There, I saw a 'Spirit.'"

It was an ominous form, like a machine wrapped in black mist, firing a deadly beam at his police car.

"That's right! How did you save from that thing?"

Doma asked loudly. He could not imagine why Mikoto, Shido, and that unfamiliar girl had happened to go to the abandoned station at that ti, and even saved him from that "Spirit."

"Wait, Doma-san. Before explaining all of this, I have a question—what exactly do you an by Spirit?"

From earlier, Mikoto had felt that there was sothing wrong with Doma's words. The reason was that what had attacked Doma at the ti had not been a Spirit, but a Bandersnatch.

"Didn't you see it? That monster with black energy wrapped around its whole body, firing lasers like a robot."

Doma said in surprise.

Hearing Doma's words, everyone looked at one another, not knowing what to say. Thinking carefully, Spirits were a world-class secret to begin with. There was no reason a re police officer should know about them. Perhaps Doma had only learned of the existence of Spirits from Hina, and knew absolutely nothing about what Spirits looked like or what characteristics they had.

Mikoto, Shido, Origami, as well as Miku and Natsumi, who had already woken up, exchanged glances. In the end, Mikoto looked at Doma and said:

"Doma-san, what you encountered at the station earlier was not a Spirit."

"What? Impossible. Why are you so sure… no, in the first place, who exactly are you people?"

Hearing Mikoto's words, Doma's mouth fell open in shock. However, what shocked him was far from over.

"We are the Spirits Doma-san was talking about."

Mikoto said that.
