"Even if we attack, the atrium of this shopping mall is a problem. You can grasp the progress of the opponent from both the first and second floors. It's the same for the other side."
Rias said this while looking at the interior of the store. Akeno also expressed her opinion.
"I've considered an attack from the parking garage as well, but they would also be looking out for that too."
"Yes, it's the same for moving from the rooftop. Whether it be breaking through the center, from the rooftop, or from the parking garage, we have to advance along these routes. Since we can't leave the department store itself."
"There should be cars in the parking garage as well. That's what I feel after seeing that they reproduced even the merchandise and merchandise shelves. They may have copied the cars that were parked there."
The discussion between Rias and her [Queen], Akeno, had somehow become really diligent. Yeah, this reconfirmed once again what the [Queen] was to the [King].
Kiba raised his hand and gave a proposal.
"Rias, I'll go look at the rooftop and parking garage. Since there are stairs nearby, I'll go check them out."
Rias nodded.
"Please do, Yuuto."
Kiba immediately headed out at a quick pace.
"Are the cars important somehow?"
Xenovia asked that question honestly. Why were they that worried about the presence of cars here?
"If they plunge into the store interior with a car, it'd be serious, you know? Besides, we have to openly consider the possibility that they'll use the car itself as a bomb. Though I don't think that someone like Sona would do something like recklessly driving inside the department store."
So said Rias. Ah, I see. She really is thorough about this. Everything on the battlefield can also become a weapon.
"Oh, that's a good idea. Can I..."
"No, Issei, You can't." She said to me.
"You're really cautious."
"Naturally. I still feel like this isn't enough. It's also possible for someone to rest and hide inside cars. Now that I think about it, we haven't seen the inside of the staff room before. We should go check it... there are many clothes in brand stores within the mall... Since it's a department store, there are an endless number of things to consider."
Rias seemed to be considering even the minute details. She didn't want to overlook anything.
Rias then gave instructions to Gasper next.
"Gasper, please change into bats and fly to every location within the department store. In the opening of the game, you'll inform us of the situation within the department store in detail."
"R-Roger!"
Ooh, Gasper also had some fighting spirit. That's right; to him, this is his first game.
The strategy planning continued on after that as well, and we decided on even the minute tactics.
Then, once half the time had passed since the strategy session started, we had solidified our plan.
Rias looked around at us and spoke.
"The game will be starting fifteen minutes from now. We'll gather here again in ten minutes. Everyone, please remain on standby with your respective methods of relaxing until then."
At Rias's words, we all broke up and walked away. However, Rias called out and stopped just me.
"Ise, since you attained Balance Breaker, the power of the eight [Pawn] pieces I placed in you has all been forcibly released."
Well, I already know that.
"So please hold back a little. And don't be a full battle jenky; Sona is still my friend. I don't want to cause any permanent damage to her peerage."
"Yes! I'll be sufficiently careful, Rias!"
After that, Rias entered a shop on the dining floor and began to pour herself some tea. So she was enjoying some tea until the time came. Gasper was eating donuts at a donut shop.
Asia and Xenovia were talking about this and that in front of a hamburger shop. Kiba was rummaging through the drugstore beside the dining floor. I see. Since it seems like medicines and the like were copied as well, he was trying to find things to take.
Everyone was trying to spend their time until the starting time with their own respective relaxing methods. So then, I as well—.
I left that place and entered the bookstore near the dining floor.
Let time pass by reading some comics. I think there is still 15 min left before the game starts.
