It's Zeno's Compass Now

At the recently built green herb farm, one kilometer away from the villa inside the time chamber, Asia, in a creamy white sweater, long black skirt, and white stockings with black flat shoes, is carrying the ever-curios Ziah in her arms as she walks through the green herb farm that was filled with hundreds of pots of green herbs in many rows of metal shelves and dozens of small-sized flying robots that were flying back and forth in the air as they were taking care of the plants tirelessly with their four mechanical arms.

The baby Ziah, who was dressed in a yellow onesie with a round star pattern on her chest, cooed adorably as she looked around with curiosity at the new things she had never seen before. She reaches out her little hands to the flying robot that is passing by with a smile and shining eyes, causing Asia to giggle softly at her daughter.

The two mother and child were accompanied by Charmie in a lolita maid uniform and Rurari, who dressed in a traditional maid uniform but with a shorter skirt and pink-white striped stockings, as they walked through the farm together while also looking around the place with curiosity.

( AN: Charmie is the clone of Mittelt and Rurari is the clone of Ruruko. )

"Look, Ziah, this little green thing is called a plant."

Asia said to her daughter as she crouched down near one of the pots, turning the baby in her arms slightly in a sitting position to make her see the seedling of green herb better. The baby was immediately intrigued by the plant and reached out both of her hands to the green herb in the pot with an eager baby cooing noises, wanting to play with it.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, but you can't touch this one just yet."

Asia said with an apologetic smile as she hugged Ziah's little body in place, preventing her from accidentally ruining the plant. Ziah looked back at her mother with a pouting look, releasing a dissatisfied noise as she slapped Asia's arm in protest to tell Asia to let her play with the seedling.

"Ehehe~ don't be mad, Ziah-chan! You can play with this one!"

Charmie, who was waiting for the chance to interact with the baby, eagerly presented Ziah with another pot of the green herb that was already growing quite big from the nearby shelf, making Ziah instantly smile and giggle in delight. Then Ziah reached out and touched the green leaves, pulling on them with curiosity as she explored the unfamiliar object.

"Hehehe~ so cute~"

Charmie giggles with a blush and a loose grin on her face as she pats Ziah's head.

"Ehh~ There are only plants and robots here."

Rurari muttered with a bored expression as she absent-mindedly pulled on the leaves of the green herb from the shelf nearby without seeing a flying robot suddenly stop and turn toward her.

"Ouch...?"

Suddenly, she felt something hit her head before she turned to see one of the flying robots hovering next to her with one of its arms lifting upward before it smacked down on her forehead again.

"Eh? What was that for?"

Rurari is holding her forehead and looking at the flying robot with a dumfounded expression. Then the robot pushes her away from the shelf, making a gesture of pointing at its singular camera with its mechanical fingers and then pointing at her in an "I'm watching you" manner.

"W-Why only me?"

Rurari feels aggrieved by the robot's double standard, as Charmie and Ziah are not receiving any bonk just like her, but the flying robot ignores her and flies away.

"What the heck..."

Zeno, in a black tank top, jeans, and black boots, is standing with his hands on his hips before the two rows of ten white aircraft that look similar to the Pelican from the game Halo that were placed neatly in the empty space next to the training ground of the Geborgs after he finished inspecting them one by one.

He named this model of aircraft the God-Prayer, as he intended for this aircraft to serve mainly three purposes in his army, which are to provide air support for the ground troop, dropping bombs, and carrying troops. The enhancements of God-Prayer are also the same as those of God-Taker and God-Raider.

Zeno hummed in satisfaction, and then he walked to the group of Geborgs standing around on the training ground waiting for him to finish his inspection.

"Alright, you guys can go learn how to operate this thing inside its cockpit, as there are functions to teach you how to operate it as well as a simulation program that you have to master before you can pilot it for real."

"Yes, sir!"

Zeno told them as the Geborgs saluted him in unison before they spread out to learn how to pilot in the ten available God-Prayers. With their inhuman precision and photographic memory, it shouldn't be long before they master how to operate the God-Prayer.

"Alright, let's see how the girls are doing."

Zeno said as he thought about Ruth, Himiko, and Yae, who were currently training in the underground base. Right now, they should be having a mock battle with Ezrah or Zestia, he thought.

Zeno then turned around and walked to the entrance of the time chamber.

÷×÷×÷

At the underground base training room, the girls could be seen diligently training with each other or alone as they tried to get stronger.

"Haah!"

"Kyaa?!"

Ruth shouted as she threw Himiko on the ground; her glasses almost went flying away from her face because of the force of the impact. Both of them are sparing while they dress in black bodysuits, just like the official uniform of Liberty's soldier. The bodysuit was enchanted temporarily by magic to absorb 80% of the impact that the wearer would normally receive, so the spar will not be too lethal.

"Muu~ I hate hand-to-hand combat so much."

Himiko complained as usual as she stood up while patting some dust off her buttocks. She always got beaten when sparing with other girls, and she feels disheartened that her talent in melee combat is below average.

"You know it is necessary."

Ruth said plainly as she got into a fighting stand once more for another round with Himiko. She is different from Himiko since she had some training at a young age from the Asmodeus Clan, but it's just some basic techniques, so the servants will not be totally useless in combat.

On the other side, Zestia and Yae are sparing with blunt metal swords as they exchange slashes and staps with each other. Yae's attacks were easily dodged or parried by Zestia, and Yae began struggling when she defended against Zestia's counter-attacks.

( AN: Yae is the clone of Tsubasa and Zestia is the clone of Xenovia. )

"Nghh...! Ah...?! Ugh!"

Yae grunted as she is now becoming more and more defensive as Zestia's attacks get faster and stronger with every attack, until she stops using more force as she finds the limit that Yae can barely handle.

"Last as long as you can, sister."

"Y-Yeah, I do my best...!"

Zestia said this between her strikes as Yae responded while blocking her sword, causing a loud clang of metal in the training room.

Meanwhile, the bored Ezrah is watching the four of them sparing with a yawn as she waits for her turn to spar with someone who will be available next. She wonders if she should beg her master to create one more soldier girl so there will not be an odd one out when they spar.

( AN: Ezrah is the clone of Irina. )

"You look bored; shall I be your opponent?"

A familiar voice sounded behind her as Ezrah turned back to see Zeno walking inside the training room with one hand in his jeans pocket.

"Oh, hey, Master."

Ezrah greeted him a bit lazily as Zeno arrived beside her. Zeno smirked, placing his arm on her shoulders and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Ezrah immediately blushed as she turned to him and gave her master a cute glare, despite feeling a bit happy.

"Behave yourself, Master."

Zeno's smirk widens, but he decides not to tease her further, for now. He then moved his arm out of Ezrah's shoulders and then commanded Godblood to instantly transform his clothes into black Spandex pants in a blink of an eye.

"Well, let's see how much you improve."

Looking at Ezrah with a smirk, Zeno then walked away from her until he was five meters from her position and turned to face her.

"Fine."

Ezrah was pursing her lips as she got into a fighting stand, ready to face her master. She will definitely lose, just like always, but this time she will at least hit him!

After that, Ezrah was beaten into the Yamcha pose without being able to even touch her master, and luckily for her, there were other girls in the training room to witnessing the beatdown; otherwise, she might even get molested by him too.

"Damn..."

Himiko muttered with sympathy toward Ezrah.

When Zeno was drawing a picture of a loli smashing the kneecap of an ugly bastard in a priest robe with a nail bat on his computer inside his bedroom of his apartment, he suddenly remembered that a week had finally passed and he could roll gacha now.

"Hey System, roll the gacha for me."

[ Rolling... ]

[ Congratulation! ]

[ You got the Compass of Jack Sparrow! ]

"Hmm, interesting..."

Zeno was quite pleased with the compass he got from the gacha roll, since Jack Sparrow's compass is very useful when you want to find something that you want at the moment. Zeno may find it useful when he loses something or wants to find the location of someone.

"I wonder if the compass' power can reach into the other dimensions..."

Zeno then decided to keep the compass in the system inventory for now, as he has no use for it at the moment.
