Plot

[edit]

Following her concert, Miku Izayoi invites Shido Itsuka, Tohka Yatogami, Kotori Itsuka, Yoshino Himekawa, and the Yamai twins Kaguya and Yuzuru at a reserved indoor pool. As the group heads home, Shido begins to see a mysterious girl who is only visible to him, but the latter quickly disappears. The next morning, Shido finds a mysterious huge sphere hovering above Tengu City, but it appears invisible to everyone and can only be detected by the Fraxinus' radar. Reine Murasame suspects the sphere is formed by the six girls' Spirit energies that they emit unconsciously due to their strong feelings for Shido. She suggests Shido date each of the six girls to relieve their emotional desire and make the sphere disappear, starting with Kaguya, Miku, Yoshino, Yuzuru, Kotori, and Tohka. The mysterious girl watches over Shido as he dates each of the girls.

On his final date with Tohka, which got interrupted by Origami Tobiichi earlier, Shido meets the mysterious girl, who introduces herself as Mayuri, and learns that she was born from the girls' Spirit powers he sealed off and is connected to the sphere called Kerubiel. As Mayuri says her farewell to Shido after completing her mission of keeping the girls' moods in check, Kerubiel transforms into its Angel form and attacks them, but they are rescued by Tohka and the arrival of other girls. It kidnaps Mayuri and continues to attack the girls in their Spirit forms. Reine realizes that Mayuri's Angel became violent due to its connection to her jealousy of the girls dating Shido. When Shido mentioned his desire to save Mayuri, the girls' Spirit powers are temporarily unsealed, aiding them in their fight against Kerubiel.

After rescuing Mayuri, Kerubiel undergoes another transformation and continues its assault. As Shido tries to protect everyone, Kurumi Tokisaki secretly saves him while the girls' Spirit powers that were gathered by Mayuri begin to resonate with Tohka, giving her a new Astral Dress. With Mayuri's help by kissing Shido, Tohka destroys Kerubiel. Mayuri begins to disappear due to the kiss sealing her intangible appearance, leaving a heartbroken Shido a necklace and lollipop similar to those he bought for Yuzuru and Kotori on their respective dates earlier. A few days later, Shido and Tohka watch the damages from the incident being repaired. The other girls join them and request more dates with Shido, but he flees them.
