My little familiar who is a hybrid. (Dxd Fanfiction)

AKENO POV

I'm currently sitting with Ingvild who is sitting there feeling lazy and uncomfortable, after two hours of waiting, Hoshiko hasn't returned at all after the previous forced teleportation, this makes me very worried as well as the others.

My heart is never calm, my heart beats fast waiting for Hoshiko to return from Tepes Castle, hoping to return safely and securely.

Now for some reason I feel the same fear again when I haven't met Rias, the fear of losing someone I love and care about very much.

It's enough that I lost my mother at that time, don't let me lose for the second time the person who has made my days colorful again, Hoshiko.

'Hope you come back safely, Hoshiko...'

Sitting on the sofa, I'm currently with Ingvild who is starting to fall asleep on my lap, while the others are still awake in their respective activities that they are trying to spend to kill this slow time, I sit here while trying to pay attention to the surroundings, hoping a miracle will happen like fwushh Hoshiko appears in front of me safely.

Seeing Rias who looks sound asleep on the sofa there makes me unable to help but worry about Hoshiko, everyone seems to have acknowledged Hoshiko or maybe feels the same way as me, it feels like I'm attached to her cuteness and courage but now, everything is empty and seems hollow.

Looking back at the guest table in front of me, there is a book of typical European cooking recipes, I still remember how Hoshiko showed her cooking skills for the first time for all of us when she was in the underworld and because of that Hoshiko also helped me in cooking and also recipes for food from various parts of the human world.

The feeling of how Hoshiko gave me the recipe and taught me how to cook properly is still stored in my mind and heart, all those moments mean a lot to me now, those moments feel as warm as when I was with my mother... no, more than just the warmth in the past.

'Do I... also have to admit that I'm attached to Hoshiko's cuteness? Oh my.' Talking to my mind for a moment before looking back at the ceiling.

'The pale white-yellow roof, with that chandelier. Can I continue to be connected to Hoshiko? Like that chandelier, even though they are far away but still connected to one object. What should I say now?'

Sighing softly I began to look back at a key chain on my wrist, if I remember correctly this was a gift that Hoshiko gave me when I was in the underworld at that time.

The accessory on the bracelet was a flower that Hoshiko got from a familiar spring, she called it an echo flower to me and honestly, this flower was so beautiful, its captivating blue light seemed like a reflection to Hoshiko, always looking captivating without her realizing it.

I tried to close my eyes again for a moment with great worry, but even so it was still useless, Hoshiko was very far away now and our teleportation technique seemed to be forcibly stopped just before the ritual was finished.

I started to sigh again and started to look at my leader, Rias who seemed to be sleeping hugging her own knees, for some reason out of all of us here except for the two girls we saved earlier, Rias was the one who felt the most worried and anxious besides Ingvild, but Rias seemed to try to stay calm even though she didn't say it in her heart.

Hahh... what should I do now? Pray? I'm a devil now.

But before that I felt a strange but unusual resonance, this very familiar resonance... Hoshiko...?

Cling

Until then a spark of light slowly appeared before turning into a bright flash of light, the light made me feel something very very bright until I had to cover my eyes using my other hand.
