Date A Live - New Life in a Harem Anime

Re:Chapter 2 - Date A Nightmare

...

Silky, black hair, tied in uneven twintails. A ribbon atop the head. A black choker around the neck. A red and black dress held up by spaghetti straps. Black boots with stupidly tall soles. Frilly things on the arms, which I have no idea what they're called. Flawless, pale skin. A smug grin on her lips. A beautiful face adorned with a singular red eye, and one that resembles an old clock.

A girl of near-impossible beauty. She could only be Tokisaki Kurumi.

My number one waifu, and the best girl in Date A Live.

Fuck, I wasn't expecting to run into her so soon... Okay, I need to NOT embarrass myself in front of the pretty girl.

"Well, I certainly wasn't expecting a MALE spirit to exist. Though it's hard to tell with that armor. How lucky for me to run into you~" She purrs with a silky smooth voice.

I'm not gonna last in this conversation am I...?

Fuck it, just say something.

"Well I'd say that I'm the lucky one, running into you, miss." I say, mustering my confidence. I am definitely not good with talking to girls. Hopefully, I'll be able to fix that in the future.

"Miss? Well, aren't you nice?" She says, her voice turns to a more teasing tone.

"Well my mom always told me to be nice to girls, especially the pretty ones~" I say, flashing her a smile, or I would be if I didn't have on the helmet.

"Goodness!" She cups a hand on her cheek and smiles sweetly. "You really know how to make a girl like you, huh?"

"Eh, I've always been kind of a loner, so I wouldn't really know." I say with a shrug. It's true, I've been a loner for years, haven't had any friends since I moved a few years back. Found anime not long after that. That and video games preoccupied my time.

"Though, I'm curious. Do you know what you are?" Huh? She must be asking if I remember being human.

"A... Spirit? Those flyin' girls called me that, but... I kinda knew that beforehand." I say, playing along with the 'Mio gave me Spirit knowledge' angle.

"Ah, them. Do you remember anything before?" She asks.

"Uh, yes?" I 'ask', feigning confusion. "Not sure how I could forget going to bed and waking up in a crater wearing this armor."

She appears slightly surprised at this. Spirits forgetting stuff is normal, after all.

"Well then, would you mind telling me about yourself, Spirit-kun?" There's that teasing tone again.

"I uh, sure? But we should probably sit down somewhere else. This alley probably ain't the best place to be." I say, looking around.

"Hmmm. Very well." She walks up to me and holds out her hand. "Grab my hand and close your eyes."

Okay." I grab her small hand with mine, covered in armor. As I do so, a dark and reddish void appears under our feet. Right, she has shadow powers. We begin to sink down and I quickly shut my eyes before we go under.

"Okay, you can open them." The time Spirit says.

Hearing that, I open my eyes to see... an apartment? It's never really shown where Kurumi stays.

The apartment is small. The living room and dining room are just one big room, there's a couch and a loveseat facing one another with a coffee table in the middle. There's a small table in front of what appears to be a small kitchen. There's also a hallway that leads to more rooms, and behind me is what I can only assume is the front door.
