They headed to the 48th Floor with Wanri, but they did not receive an enthusiastic welcome. 

 

The reason was simple, Wanri was by his side. 

 

When Wanri said, ‘Okay’, the summoned beasts swarmed him. 

 

Even though she was in human form, the foxes knew that she was the nine-tailed fox. 

 

They stopped flocking to Kousuke because of Wanri’s reservation, but now that she gave them permission, they all flocked to him. 

 

Kousuke wondered the reason why they didn’t stop pouncing on him, even though he told them to stop.

 

After playing with the foxes for a while, he went to the <Water Fairy Stone> he had set up. 

 

“Wow. The power of spirits in this place is amazing.”

 

Wanri, who had seen the Fairy Stone for the first time, told Kousuke, who was next to her. 

 

Like the other Fairy Stones, the <Water Fairy Stone> was overflowing with the power of spirits. 

 

Because it was a <Water Fairy Stone>, it was intentionally placed near the fountain of divine water. 

 

He didn’t know if it was necessary to place it near the spring, but he decided to do so.

 

“I see. Wanri can also sense the power of spirits?”

 

“Yes. I think it’s because I have the blessings of the Gods.”

 

He remembered that Wanri had <Spirit God’s Blessing> added to her. 

 

“… Hmm? Well, even Colette, who doesn’t have that blessing, knows about the power of spirits too, so I don’t think the blessing has anything to do with it, right?”

 

“Huh? Is that so?”

 

“I think so. I think the blessing of the Goddess has a different effect. Why don’t you ask her next time you see her?”

 

Kousuke had given Wanri a communication tool that he made earlier. 

 

The tool was something she usually carries with her when she goes on a hunting trip, and leaves it with Yuri when she doesn’t need to use it. 

 

“Yeah. I’ll do that.”

 

Even without the divine tool, Kousuke could contact Spica using oracles. 

 

After Kousuke’s oracle was received by her, she would contact him directly, giving him the opportunity to communicate with her.

 

But since this topic was a different matter to Kousuke at the moment, he decided for it to be discussed later. 

 

Right now, they were talking about the <Water Fairy Stone>. 

 

He touched it to transfer divine power, but no particular change occurred. 

 

He was hoping that something would happen, but it seems that it won’t be that simple.

 

“Well, it’s not working out the way we expected?”

 

At any rate, it was enough to know that transferring divine power at the start would not work.

 

All they could do now was to wait and see, just as they did with the Earth Fairy Stone. 

 

There was no point in staying here any longer, so they returned to the Administration Floor.

After they returned to the Administration Floor with Wanri, they found Sylvia, who had just returned from the Southeast Tower. 

 

“Ah, Wanri. that’s unusual.”

 

“… umpf”

 

Sylvia, after greeting Wanri, hugged her. 

 

Kousuke vaguely thought that this might be the reason why Wanri didn’t show up at the Administration Floor very often. 

 

The women on this Floor were taking too good of a care for Wanri. 

 

For Kousuke, it was a blessing in disguise, so he didn’t stop them. 

 

If Wanri showed any sign of displeasure, he would of course stop them immediately. 

 

“You could come over here more regularly… Why don’t you come more often?”

 

At Sylvia’s words, Wanri showed an annoyed expression. 

 

“Well… I don’t know, it’s hard for me to visit.”

 

“Is that so? I thought everyone would welcome you…?”

 

They were more than welcoming, but that made her do the opposite, making her hesitate to go.

 

Kousuke, who sensed this from Wanri’s expression, offered some help. 

 

“I think you’re being too welcoming, though.”

 

“It can’t be helped. She’s really cute~”

 

Peach participated in the conversation. 

 

Incidentally, before he realized it, he was petting Wanri’s head. 

 

“I think Wanri is confused because she’s the head of the foxes, but here, she’s treated like a mascot.”

 

Kousuke didn’t hear about this information from Wanri.

 

He was just assuming that this was the thing bothering her. 

 

However, Wanri, who was listening to Kousuke, did not deny his words, so he must have been right to some extent. 

 

“… Is that so~?”

 

Peach tilted her head as she turned over to Wanri. 

 

Wanri, too, tilted her head for a moment, thinking, but then nodded her head in return. 

 

“Maybe? I don’t know?”

 

“Ah, you see. The way you speak is the same. When you talk to me, you’re pretty friendly, but when you come here, you’re more reserved, right?”

 

“Eh? Is that so?”

 

“I didn’t know that.”

 

Peach and Sylvia looked slightly shocked. 

 

“So, sorry…?”

 

” Ah, wait, wait. I didn’t mean to blame Wanri.”

 

Colette suddenly joined the conversation. 

 

He didn’t know where she came from, but she seemed to have been listening to the conversation from a certain point. 

 

“…Is that so?”

 

“Yes. As for us, we’d like to get to know Wanri better.”

 

“Wouldn’t it be annoying if we forced our way into the shrine?”

 

“So far, we can only wait for Wanri to come here…”

 

Wanri listened intently as the three of them spoke. 

 

Kousuke put his hand on Wanri’s head. 

 

“Well, there’s no need for you to come. But I’d be happier if you showed your face here more if you can.”

 

“…Yes.”

 

Actually, Nana has been coming to the Administration Floor more often than Wanri. 

 

While Wanri hunts on her own, Nana goes out of her way to come to the Administration Floor in order to make more friends. 

 

She knows exactly what she has to do. 

 

Wanri also knows how to manage the Tower, but foxes don’t hunt in packs as much as wolves do, so it was hard for her to think about getting more friends. 

 

While Wanri was looking slightly happy to be stroked on the head, something bumped into her. 

 

“Kya…?”

 

She fell down unexpectedly, but the thing that bumped into her didn’t care, it mounted on Wanri and started to lick her face. 

 

“Hey… Nana, you’re tickling me!”

 

The one who bumped into Wanri was the miniaturized Nana. 

 

“Hey, Nana, do you want me to summon wolves today?”

 

Unlike Wanri, Nana has been going to the 80th Floor quite often. However, ever since hunting on the 80th Floor became easy, she has been coming to the Administration Floor frequently simply to meet Kousuke.

 

When she would like Kousuke to summon things for her, she would drag him to the room where the control panel was, so he could easily recognize what she wanted. 

 

Today, she seemed to have come here just for fun. 

 

She was licking Wanri with all her heart. 

 

“Nana, wait a minute… Okay, okay.”

 

Wanri had been somewhat depressed earlier, but now that Nana had made her feel comfortable, her mood had started to improve. 

 

For Wanri, the atmosphere felt complicated, but thanks to Nana, she felt like she was saved. 

 

Finally, after Nana moved away, Wanri stood up. 

 

This time, she was licking Wanri’s hand with all her might. 

 

“…Nana, thank you.”

 

Wanri said and patted Nana’s head. 

 

Nana tilted her head curiously, but eventually began to wag her tail happily. 

 

Seeing this, Kousuke was also relieved inside. 

 

Looking around, everyone else must have been feeling the same way. They all had smiles on their faces. 

 

After all, starting from this incident, Wanri gradually more often came to the Administration Floor. 

 

It turned out that it was not that Wanri did not like to be petted, but that she simply didn’t understand the reason why they did it. 

 

Furthermore, since she tried to stay away from the Wolves’ territory as much as possible, she realized that she could meet Nana by coming to the Administration Floor. 

 

Kousuke was relieved when he felt that the other members were getting to know each other better.
