Kousuke was surprised by Floria’s command skills, but Sylvia was not so surprised.
Sylvia was the member of the administrative floor with whom Floria usually talked the most, so she had already heard about her abilities.
Of course, she was educated as a princess, but she was also well-educated because of her talent for tactical aspects.
The Kingdom of Flores was a peaceful country with no wars with neighboring countries, so her talents were never put to use.
She was highly regarded not only by her teachers but also by those around her, as she would have been the figurehead in a war if the world had been in a different era.
Floria herself had thought that her talents would be increasingly buried once she came to the Tower, but they proved to be useful in a surprising way.
“Come to think of it, the main summons in the southwestern Tower are goblins, right?”
Kousuke suddenly remembered and asked Floria.
“That’s right.”
“Then I think you could make use of their power, right?”
“….Ah.”
Floria’s mouth dropped open, as if she had only just realized it when Kousuke told her so.
The more goblins evolved, the more intelligent they became.
The Ogre-kin in the 15thFloor of Amamiya Tower served completely as the head of the group.
Unfortunately, there were no goblins in the southwestern Tower, but there were those who evolved.
In some cases, it might be interesting to take the large ogres in Amamiya Tower to the southwest Tower and teach them how to coordinate in battle.
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
Floria’s shoulders slumped in disappointment as she thought about this.
Sylvia and Peach were tilting their necks, wondering if there was anything they could do to help Floria.
“Well, I don’t think it’s something you can suddenly come up with unless someone gives you the idea.”
Kousuke said, while reflecting on whether he had been a little too hasty.
Kousuke believed that image was important in using the power of the blessings, although it was only a matter of intuition.
If he could see what Floria did or what Kousuke felt when he saw what she was doing, it would lead to a new power.
“Everyone doesn’t have to stick to what I have been doing, like Floria, if you can do something like this, that’s fine too.”
As they listened to Kousuke’s words, Sylvia thought about the power of the blessing she had been given.
The power that Sylvia was currently manifesting was the power to see status.
It was simple, but she thought that she could use the same ability as Kousuke because she was Kousuke’s priestess.
The goal of priestesses and priests was to imbue themselves with the power of the gods, and with that result, they fulfilled their role well.
If so, it would not be surprising to think that some of the abilities available to Kousuke could also be used for similar things.
That Kousuke had already shown them the results right before their eyes.
That said, it would be too naive to think that one would be able to use it right away.
Perhaps it was this thought that was reflected in her expression, but Kousuke looked at Sylvia with concern.
“Ah, sorry. I told you not to rush, and I guess I ended up causing you to be in a hurry. That’s enough for today, let’s go back.”
Kousuke said as he reflected.
It wasn’t that he wanted them to come up with something right now, but as a result, they did.
He assumed that each of them could do the same thing and come up with something on their own.
This was a complete failure on Kousuke’s part.
As a result, Kousuke decided to go back to the management floor with everyone and reconsider.
Thinking of this, Kousuke returned to the management floor with everyone in tow.

Kousuke came back to the administrative floor, but he was not doing anything in particular, just relaxing in the relaxation area.
It was not that he was still thinking about what had just happened, but he wanted to spend some time without thinking about anything.
Collete sat down next to Kousuke and linked her arm with his.
“? Is something wrong?”
“Nothing? Nothing in particular happened?”
“No? But I thought we weren’t allowed to flirt here?”
Kousuke was unsure whether linking their arms together constituted flirting.
But there seemed to be a rule between the ladies.
“That’s right, though. Today is special.”
“Special?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Kousuke tilted his head, and this time Sylvia came up to him and took his other arm.
Kousuke was puzzled by the sudden action of these two.
The other members also approached Kousuke.
“I thought it would be nice to relax together like this once in a while.”
“It’s been a while since we’ve all been together like this.”
“It’s a good opportunity.”
Floria said, and to his surprise, she was serving drinks.
It was rare for the ladies to offer him a drink.
Kousuke looked more and more puzzled, and Shrein pecked him on the cheek.
“Don’t look at us like that. There really is nothing behind the scenes. If I had to say so, it was also a celebration since all of us were able to manifest the power of the blessings.”
Hearing this, Kousuke finally broke into a smile.
Thinking about it, he had only congratulated them, but had not done anything special.
It was a favor from the ladies.
He decided to enjoy a drink for the first time in a while.

In Kousuke’s case, even if he drank, he rarely got drunk even when he drank heavily.
If the other members around him were the same way, he might have drunk a lot as well, but since none of the women drink that way, he refrained from doing so.
They simply enjoyed the aroma and taste of the liquor.
In a sense, this may be the true way to enjoy liquor, but unfortunately, Kousuke did not have profound knowledge of liquor.
That was enough for this group, as they were not going to be asked to hear any booze nonsense.
The rest of the party consisted of the food prepared by Mitsuki.
All the ladies except Peach were enjoying the food.
They also sipped some alcohol.
“By the way~, Kousuke-san, is there something you want us to do now that we have manifested our blessings?”
Peach, who was becoming more sensual than usual with alcohol, inquired.
“Anything? Well, I didn’t really think of anything in particular.”
Kousuke replied, then thought about it.
He was thinking about the evolution of the ladies in the first place, and the power of the blessings was simply a part of it.
Kousuke himself had never wanted them to do anything with the power of the blessings.
Except for the possibility of having children, of course.
Some members have already evolved, so there was no need to focus only on the power of the blessings.
Kousuke thought that he was feeling impatient with himself again, even though he had reflected on it a lot in the divine realm before.
The women must have subtly sensed this, too, which was why they had this gathering.
Kousuke decided not to mention it, but was grateful to be allowed to join in the celebration.
After that, there was no big talk, just the usual conversation.
The only unusual thing was that Haku, who had never been to a small party like this one, was unusually excited.
The rest of the time passed peacefully.
The ladies, of course, had Kousuke to think about, but it was also a good opportunity for them to refresh themselves.
After the event, they still had a good feeling, in more ways than one.
In the end, the day was spent peacefully with nothing to do.
