While Mariel and Stella were entering the Shanghai Hanten restaurant, the rest of the group who stayed behind with Wataru were making final preparations.
This time, the operation was quite simple.
Mariel and Stella were the bait meant to lure the spies.Stella had been given permission to use magic in case of emergency, so if anything unexpected happened, she could respond immediately.
Wataru and the others planned to "coincidentally" encounter the spies in the same building and provoke some kind of reaction from them.
As they'd seen during the battle in Hanover, Stella's true power was undeniable.With Air and Cloche also involved, even if it turned into close-quarters combat in a modern, firearm-equipped setting, the likelihood of things going out of control was extremely low.
On top of that, they were fully prepared this time.
Everyone had alchemical gear blessed with Arrow-Avoiding Protection.
