There's really no need to use OC spirits, if you want to be creative you could use exclusive / non-canon spirits like Rinne, Maria, Marina, Mayuri etc. or even use Hibiki Higoromo (Date A Bullet) or manga characters Date AST Like

Also with the finished light novel it is much easier to write the story.

I think Miku and Nia are good options for Minato, Minato might meet Miku in the city as Kurumi did.

I have a doubt but really the Original Kurumi is interested in Minato or is it a Clone of her that is interested in him

Personally I think you are wrong about girls' relationships with shido but I understand that you don't want to ignore shido, but you have to be creative with character relationships for that are the fanfics in the first place, to demonstrate things different from the canon.

I think Nia would have a better relationship with Minato than with shido.
I have to mention that in the novel shido always let Nia know that she was a weirdo. With Minato that would be different, he does not disrespect other people's tastes and he is also no flatterer. So Minato would tell Nia that He respects her love for 2D things and he wouldn't mind that, plus Minato and Nia would have normal conversations.

Besides that Minato could meet her(nia) in the city by coincidence as he did with kurumi

This story came out a year after the video game Date A Live: Rinne Utopia. The game was released by a new spirit named Rinne.

A better option could be to use video game spirits and exclusive spirits as romantic interests for Minato if you want to keep the canon so desperate, that way you avoid using OC.

Spirits you could use for Minato:
Rinne Sonogami
Maria Arusu
Marina Arusu
Mayuri (Exclusive from the movie but at the same time you could be creative in her origin)
Rio Sonogami

Not to mention that human girls could also be a romantic interest for Minato like Mikie Okamine or Manga (Date AST Like) girls like Ashley Sinclair, Cecile O'Brien, Leonora Sears or even Artemisia.
It all depends on whether you decide to be more creative with the story.

You could create an original and entertaining plot, if you want to do with the finished novel, being more original in your story should be much easier than at the beginning.

Minato will wear outfits from Persona 3: Dancing in Moonlight in the story.

NOTE:I apologize but the note at the end of the chapter really bothered me a little. I have no intention of offending you.

Although my opinion about shido as a character is totally different from yours, I respect your opinion to some extent.

good story, hope you upload soon

Reine is also a nice girl for minato. please consider it.

Is Minato really a SPIRIT? But he human before?

Thank you for your hard work!

You know how you find a good show or movie and you end up watching it until 4 in the morning?

He he... oops? Your story is honestly amazing and by far one of the best take I read on a date a live story!

There are several cross-overs with date a live where the guy who crossed over is absolutely useless, and I mean giving shido a gun might actually have been more helpful.

Your story where you actually let Minato have a romance option? It's beautiful and I hope to see more!

Wonder how they'll seal her abilities...

what's interesting is season3 for me, if Minato returns to his past in iwatodai ./2009 maybe he whose past will be shocked to see himself in the future hahaha

Oh yeah I want to ask you something, will Minato later return to Iwatodai 2009 or Shido who is going to Minato's past, and anything else?, before the story is transferred to high school gekkoukan

Well maybe that all

Finally an update! It’s been a while, also like the approach for Kurumi. Really interested what it leads to

Good story and don't forget about date a live spirit pledge global my bro

KURUMI~3

So what would you do with Mana having introduced himself? Is it just a single pairing of Minato and Kurumi or a threesome harem of Minato, Mana and Kurumi?

Man Minato gotta up his game! Yes it wasn't your fault Minato, I agree with you having no idea of Kurumi being a spirit! Man she is gonna be unpredictable considering her time power, but especially her personality.

Also after watching season 3... It would be hilarious if Minato turned the tables with her younger past self... Or it could happen here.

Tohka why are you staring at him in awe?! Why is she even staring in awe Ashen Messenger-san?! What is she thinking?!

Also... As I have watched the Persona 3 games and what Minato experience well all I can say is...

Time to use his experience or instincts and go full PIMP MINATO IN THE NEXT CHAPTER!

GO MINATO!

-Remembers Spoilers Of The Backstory Of DAL.-

Ah yes. The sheer dumb galaxy brain of the mother and it's all incest down this line.

Nice chapter
