My Idle System-Chapter 360: Settling (1) (Unedited)
This rapid growth was something that was going to calm down in time after all.
More over, it was happening like this only because the Liberation Front, otherwise, if things were left to their natural course, it wouldn't have happen like this… things would have happened in more slow manner.
Regardless, Iris, who was listening as she looked at the stars above, turned her gaze toward Beta, and said, "How about the situation on you side? Is their any further development?"
Beta stayed silent for a moment, seemingly still unable to comprehend the situation, where the one monitoring every movement happening on their side, and actually know the situation even more accurately than her, is actually questioning her.
Against this illogical situation, Beta seemed to be taken aback… or at least that was what she showed, as she was still someone new, and she needs to act her part.
That's why, she took a moment, and stayed silent, before finally replying, "The situation on my side, with master, Miss Anastasia, and Shae is actually quite good, and you can ask for reinforcement any time you want."
Iris raised her eyebrow at these words and asked again, "You mean, master's hands are not tied any more, and he can move where ever he want?"
"Well, that's not it." Beta awkwardly said, before explaining how Christian is still not going to make any move, and how asking anything from Anastasia be it for these kind of petty tasks or other things was out of the questions, then, explaining how she actually was not suited for battle, and was made more for productivity. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"If you really are facing an unsolvable problem… Master could possibly ask Shae to help you though," With an uncertain tone, Beta said, eliciting a glare from Iris.
That's why, while averting her gaze away, she changed the topic and started explaining about what kind of reinforcements they could ask for.
Unfortunately, there were no choice, as what they are making now, in their workshop were only Battle Androids.
Let alone cold weapons, even firearms, are out of the question, now after they started modifying the workshop.
"Even if it's only Battle Android, we are making. There's actually some development on their side and they are far better than before, so, you can look forward to their performance." Beta said, as she saw their not very enthusiasm reaction.
And to make things even more easier, she even explained in more details, "
Even then, everyone stayed silent, and didn't give any comment, that's why, Beta once again started explaining, "To make things more understandable, and we take Zero when he was first made as the standard call his fire output at that time, 1.0, then, the battle androids when they were first made, they were barely 0.5 ."
"But, now, things naturally changed!"
"Now, their strength are about, 0.9!" Beta raised her voice slightly, as she delivered how much they have progressed, but, the expected enthusiast reaction she wanted to see, didn't occur, and she sulked on her own.
Maybe, because of that? Trying to be considerate? Zero suddenly said, "Well, that's good, but how many units can you supply us?"
"Those already ready aside from the ones that are going to be deployed to guard the workshop, are fifteen."
"But!" after a meaningful pause, to get their full attention, Beta added, "our output for making battle androids, are current two daily, and it's expected to reach ten, one month later!"
…....….
At Beta last words, each of the other three androids, finally gave their reaction, Alpha giving a small and warm smile, Zero clenching his hand, seemingly thinking about something, and Iris with the corner of her lips twitching.
In the end, neither Alpha nor Zero gave a comment, and Iris after simply nodding, suddenly materialized a grand and majestic throne, sitting on it, before finally turning her attention to Zero, and saying, "It seems you will not be able to use the excuse of lacking manpower anymore."
Silence met Iris's playful words, but not minding that, her tone turned more serious as she said, "Either way, for now, concentrate on doing your missions successfully without leaving any loose ends."
"If you can't handle many targets, that's fine. But, don't forget your main propose, which is making a company, prospering it, making money… and being the trump card for master."
With a heavy gaze Zero said, "Understood." but, Iris with other things in mind, added, "Also, there's a new task for you… purchase land."
"Whenever you have the leeway financially, purchase undeveloped cheap lands!"
At this new task, not only Zero, but even Beta seemed to find it strange, but neither asked for the reason, and Zero simply nodded.
It was only then, that Iris, finally turned her attention away from Zero to Alpha and said, "Okay, it's your turn… how are the things on your end?"
Should Iris and Alpha have not been together? Together with Eva and Annabelle?
One might wonder… but, Alpha's following words, were the answer, "It's good, We have just arrived at the Ashvale's new settlement, but with how we have spread nearly our all firepower around, Miss Eva's safety should in no way be compromised."
Following Alpha's words, countless screes appeared.
Screen displaying the current situation around the Ashvale settlement, showing Eva with Nina walking beside her, Sophia, Zero, Olivia and her friend Aria, many of the assistant android surrounding the said settlement, and even Alpha herself… everyone seemed to be gathered there.
Even then, Alpha still gave a brief report about the current situation.
"Well, it's seems everything is good, but, still take care not to make any mistake, after all with the Love provider's recent absence everyone's in on edge." Iris said, her tone meaningful.
The love provider, giving love figuratively and literally called Christian, away from everyone, and staying in the workshop alone with Anastasia, everyone seemed to be reaching their limits.
After Iris pointed that out, the meeting continued, with this time, with it becoming more like an open discussion this time.
