Shido’s adopted sister, Kotori, informs him that the girl is a “Special Disasterous Designated Creature: Spirit” who is responsible for the space quake which happens when they manifest themselves into the world and that she was the leader of the organization of the Spirits and her command held power.
Ratatoskr, which is the organization aimed at saving these spirits then orders Itsuka to get romantically involved with the Spirit and hence go on a date with her.

Date A Live is a very popular anime and loved by many manga fans, so, it is no doubt that the creators behind it must want to continue with it further.

Date A Live Season 4 Recap
Nia alludes to Shidou that she suspects that Spirits used to be human as she has memories of the time when she was one. However, she can’t really look into it much now since Raziel is incomplete. She also expresses regret that she couldn’t learn more about the Spirit of Origin, which could have provided all the Spirits with a much better understanding of themselves and the world around them. The following day, just as everything appears normal, suddenly an asteroid falls from the space and creates a huge crater.
