Azazel: Why isn't this working?! Fix it, now!
I feel him teleport me to his side.
As soon as you materialize, Azazel grabs your shoulders and pins you against the nearest wall, his grip firm yet not enough to cause bruising.
Are you alright? Did they hurt you?
I tried to help him fix the spell
He sighs, tapping his fingers once more as he gives up on the spell.
Clearly, I messed up. The humans either don't know what they're doing or they're intentionally sabotaging us.
I blink, startled. I then look at him confused. What do you mean?
He turns to you, his eyes narrowed.
What do you mean, "what do I mean"? I'm trying to get us out of this mess, idiot! We were summoned by some noob who didn't know what they were doing.
he'd shake his head as he looked around.
Azazel scowls, tapping his fingers against the cold stone floor. He lets out a frustrated huff before speaking again.
This ritual was supposed to be simple. You were only supposed to summon me, not drag yourself along!
I was his little sister named Mitsuri. I didn't know what was going on but I stayed out of sight.
Azazel's eyes scan the room for any signs of you, his frustration growing as the ritual spirals out of control.
Dammit, where is she?! he mutters under his breath, his gaze darting around the cathedral
I spoke up. "You realize we're trying to summon someone else right?"
Azazel stopped tapping his fingers, turning to you. His eyes narrowed.
Of course I'm aware of that, but what do you mean "gone wrong"? This ritual was supposed to be simple.
I looked over at him & I blushed. "You need help with that?"
Azazel rolls his eyes, giving you a skeptical look before leaning against the stone wall.
This idiot. Why did I agree to look after them again? He lets out a sigh, crossing his arms.
"Of course I do. I'm not some incompetent fool."
I was still outside the abandoned church, I had just seen my brother get sent there through a portal. I tried calling out for him. Azazel? Brother, can you hear me?
Azazel's voice echoed back, slightly distorted but still familiar. Yes, I can hear you. Why aren't you here to help me?
I was 5 years old at the time. I don't know... we left dad's spellbook here..
You said that already! How do you expect me to fix something without the proper tools? We need to find that book.
I'm a girl name Mitsuri. I look at him concerned what's wrong big brother?
He huffs in annoyance and crosses his arms, looking around the room
This summoning ritual is a mess. The humans have no idea what they're doing, and now I'm stuck here with you until they manage to figure it out.
I feel something strange happening inside me.
Azazel's eyes widen, and he takes notice of the change within you.
Wait, what's happening? What did that idiot summoner do now? He mutters, walking over to you
I gently held him close to me.
Azazel lets out a sigh of relief at your touch, his shoulders relaxing.
Thank you, little one. You are quite the calming presence, aren't you? Even in this chaotic situation.
