Many of you may ask why is Alex acting like this and is not proactive, please remember the purpose of the task of Babylon facilities.

The short chapter concluded with our protagonist leaving the storehouse, armed with Babylon's blueprint, ready to embark on the search for another ruin. Specifically, he set his sights on the ruins in Eashen.
"So, this is the location of the ruins," Alex muttered as he gazed upon the breathtaking sea while levitating above the designated spot on the map.
Night had fallen in Eashen, painting a magnificent view of the sea. The full moon hung high in the sky, casting its ethereal glow upon the night canvas, accompanied by a multitude of stars that adorned the firmament, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.
Now, he would venture into the ruins to claim ownership of the garden. Over the past month, using his smartphone, he had closely monitored Touya's whereabouts. It had been confirmed that Touya had yet to arrive in Eashen.
The garden was originally meant to belong to Touya and played a crucial role in his journey. It not only provided clues about the other Babylons and the phrase invasion but also helped strengthen his relationships with the girls. However, now that Alex possessed it, why should he care about Touya?
"Come forth, Light! Tiny Illumination: [Light Sphere]," Alex invoked the spell, materializing a small sphere of light in his hands. He calmly dropped it into the sea, illuminating the waters below and revealing the ruins in the distance.
{Kelly... Blake... can you hear me?} Alex called out to his summoned companions through their telepathic link.
{Yes, we can hear you, sweetheart,} Blake replied.
{I will materialize a gate near you. Come to me through it. I need your help here,} Alex instructed.
{As you wish, master,} Kelly replied. A small gate materialized near Alex, through which the turtle and snake duo teleported to his side.
With their assistance, Alex entered the ruins and successfully activated the magic circle.
"Pleasure to meet you. I am Francesca, the terminal gynoid entrusted with managing the Garden of Babylon," greeted the gynoid with silky, smooth, short, jade-green hair. She wore a sleeveless black jacket adorned with a large, pinkish ribbon, as well as white knee-high socks and black enamel shoes. Notably, what captured Alex's attention the most was that she was not wearing a skirt, leaving her panties exposed.
"Well, Francesca, could you please wear something to cover up?" Alex requested.
"Why?" Francesca questioned.
"I feel a bit uncomfortable with you not wearing anything but panties," Alex replied.
"If you insist, then I will put something on," Francesca acquiesced.
"That would be much better, I guess."
"...Are you sure you don't want to do something to me?" Francesca teased.
"I'm sure. Just put on some clothes already," Alex insisted.
"I won't object if you want to indulge in some fondling," Francesca suggested playfully.
"Nah, just put them back on," Alex retorted.
Francesca complied, putting her panties back on, and proceeded to provide Alex with more information about the garden.
"What is your name, if I may ask?" Alex inquired.
"Ah, I'm Alexander Crown" he replied.
"Very well, Administrator Alexander. You have been recognized as compatible. I, Apparatus Number Twenty Three, codenamed Francesca, have been assigned to serve you until death do us part," Francesca explained.
And thus, Alex finally obtained the sixth Babylon facility, the garden.
"Master, I also have a message addressed to you," Francesca informed.
"A message for me?" Alex queried.
"Yes, it's from Doctor Regina Babylon," Cesca said, presenting a circular device to Alex, who looked at it curiously.
"What is this?" Alex inquired.
Cesca replied, "Please infuse your magical energy into it."
Following Cesca's instruction, Alex began channeling his magical energy into the device.
Gradually, the light subsided, revealing a person standing on top of the screen. The figure, a holographic projection, appeared to be approximately 15 centimeters tall. The woman projected was in her early twenties, wearing a white lab coat and glasses. She held what appeared to be a cigarette in her mouth, and her long, blonde hair hung messily. Despite her slightly disheveled appearance, she exuded a certain charm. The creased top and skirt beneath her lab coat only added to her overall casual demeanor.
"This is Doctor Regina Babylon," Cesca introduced.
"Doctor..." Alex started to say, addressing the holographic projection.
"How do you do there, King? I'm Regina Babylon," the projection continued, giving Alex a proper introduction to the situation.
Five thousand years ago, the doctor had the ability to glimpse into the future. In one of those glimpses, she saw two individuals with the same biorythm as hers emerging at the same time: Alexander Crown and Mochizuki Touya. Though she couldn't see all of their futures, she witnessed fragments, mostly concerning Touya and his nine brides.
In her visions, she saw Alex obtaining all nine Babylons and becoming their master. This outcome brought great joy to both Alex and the doctor. However, she couldn't foresee much about Alex's future, so she designed the Babylon device based on the information she did have.
The rest of the conversation followed as it did in the novel, with Doctor Babylon's playful banter and panty jokes.
After the holographic screen above the smartphone closed momentarily, Alex gazed into space, lost in his thoughts. What exactly was on his mind, no one could tell. After a while, he closed his eyes, calmly pondered for a moment, and then rose to his feet. He requested Cesca to dock the garden together with the others in Sandora.

I didn't add that cable thing because thats bullshit since Regina didn't know how the phone worked and all and I don't think Touya ever used charging port of his phone can be charged magically so her knowing that is just bullshit.
