Volume 5 Chapter 212 – Planning

From the quiet crowd, Akeno slowly took a step forward, “You don’t have to worry, Kiryuu-san… I’ve already called for reinforcement from Sirzechs Lucifer-sama and they should arrive in an hour.”

“A-Akeno?” Rias looked at her in disbelief as she did this without telling her anything.

“Rias, what she just said is right. I understand your reluctance to bother him after the recent troubles with your family… But this is clearly isn’t something we can overcome on our own. At most, we could only buy time for the reinforcement.” Akeno gave her a grave look. As her Queen, she just can’t be a servant, but someone who can be her right arm. Since Rias didn’t want to get help, Akeno has to do it on her own for everyone’s safety.

“Haah… I’m sorry for my outburst, then… With all of this happening, I’m pretty stressed out. Add the fact that I can’t seem to contact both Kisuke and Yoruichi.” Aika held her forehead and sighed. On her other hand is the token that can be used to contact both Kisuke and Yoruichi in an emergency. She kept inserting her Reiatsu-Ki as they instructed in it, but there is no response.

Koneko, who kept quiet all this time, also took out her own token. She also has been trying to contact the two of them as she knew they could fight off Kokabiel. She even wanted to call for her sister, but she left a few days ago for some mission in her organization and won’t be coming back anytime soon. Since she can’t contact all of them, she chooses to secretly contact the Gremory Household for help. So while indeed Aika just had an outburst, it’s not directed to her, as she knew Koneko knew the right thing to do in this situation. After all, it wasn’t just her who receive training from Yoruichi.

Although Koneko contacted the Gremory Household, like the Devil King, they are tied and won’t be able to move personally, so they can only send some help. But it’s still a lot better than the one-hour arrival of the Devil King’s forces as they could come as early as thirty minutes if they ignore some of the sanctions that they would incur later, and Koneko is pretty confident that Venelana Gremory would do just that.

Aika’s words, however, caught someone’s attention, “…Can’t contact them? What happened?”

Aika looked at the source of that question and saw Sona’s haggard face with a trace of worry, “I don’t know… I’m only sure that something happened on their side that they can’t respond to any call…” Aika saw Sona’s face become visibly paler. Not only her everyone around noticed this too. Saji in particular pouted and started muttering some unknown things.

“You don’t have to worry about him though. Knowing him, he’s probably messing around somewhere and someone probably isn’t having a good time.” Aika shook her head and comforted Sona, ‘Is this really the Sona that I know… It seems that all her silence is just a brave front…’ Heaving a huge sigh again, she continued, “What you should be worrying about is the current situation. We can’t afford to worry about that pervert.”

“N-no… I’m not exactly worried about him. I’m just thinking that should really have contacted my sister.” Sona faked a cough and turned around, “Tsubaki, we’re going. And while you’re at it, please contact Leviathan-sama and tell her the situation, but also make sure to tell her that doesn’t escalate anything. If it’s her, she’ll probably disregard everything and come here and by then, we’ll have bigger problems than Kokabiel.”

“Yes, Kaichou!” Tsubaki then immediately opened the communication line directly to the office of the Leviathan.

“Rias… We’ll do our best to hold the barrier. So I leave everything else to you.”

“Got it…”

Sona and the rest of the Student Council surrounded the whole school and set up a huge barrier that will contain the inevitable destruction that would occur.

Rias then faced those who remained, “Are you going to help us, Kiryuu-san?”

“What else could I do? I want to take Koneko-chan away from here but I doubt she would agree.” Aika shrugs her shoulder and Koneko gave her a gratified glance.

“…Thank you…” Rias expressed her gratitude, “With Sona defending the town, that leaves offense to us. We have to keep Kokabiel busy so he wouldn’t direct any kind of attack outside… This isn’t the same as our fight with the Phenex. Our life is on the line this time. But I don’t give you any permission to die! We’re going to survive and protect our beloved town!”

“Yes! Buchou!” Akeno, Asia, and Issei answered with enthusiasm. They then started walking towards the schoolyard.

“WAIT!!!” Aika shouted at the leaving figures. She and Koneko stood at their spot dumbfounded.

“What is it, Kiryuu-san?” Rias asked. Akeno, Asia, and Issei also has a puzzled expression.

“What do you mean by what is it!? Do you plan to charge ahead without even having a concrete plan!? Or is it that your ‘concrete plan’ is to deal with whatever that Kokabiel throws at us!?” Aika stomped the ground in frustration, ‘Dammit! They’re really acting like some shounen manga protagonist!’ Aika shouted at them in frustration, “That Kokabiel dude can push the ‘Game Over’ button anytime he wants and we won’t be able to do anything about it, you know!”

“What else can we do then? We can only respond to what he has for us…” Rias gritted her teeth as she can’t also think of any strategy against Kokabiel.

“A strategy doesn’t have to be complicated. A simple framework is a lot better than just ‘responding’ to what is happening.

” Ahem. First of all, our goal is to buy an hour until reinforcements arrive, but we have to remember that his goal is to start a war so he just has to kill you all for it to happen.

“Then what do we do?” Asia asked nervously.

“I must say that Valper whatever his full name is presence is our luck.”

“What? Why? Isn’t an additional enemy suppose to be bad?” In their group’s behalf, Asia kept asking the questions they wanted to know.

“Normally, it is. But Kokabiel is someone who doesn’t need help to annihilate us. And the fact that he’s just letting this guy do whatever he wants means that we won’t need to face him in the first round.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“What do you think is his other reason aside from wanting to prove that Fallen Angels are supreme?”

“…H-he’s bored?”

“Exactly. He wants some amusement and we could use that to gain some time so don’t go finishing the minions off. Just put up a flashy struggling fight.”

“So that’s it. Let’s go!” Issei clenched his fist and got ready to charge.

“Hold up, dimwit!”

“What? I thought we already have a plan?”

“Don’t take what I just said as something that would surely happen. Heck, that guy might just blast us into oblivion the moment we enter his sight!”

Issei went silent for a moment before crying out loud, “Then strategizing is useless!”

“It’s not, you idiot. That’s just the instant ‘Game Over’ that I talk about earlier. Ahem… Anyway, my point is, there’s also a chance that he’ll only give us a limited time which won’t be enough for the reinforcements to arrive.”

Everyone is having a headache now.
