Aside from the Northwest Tower, the rest of the Towers were growing at a steady pace. So they decided to leave the rest of the work to the members again.

The Northwest Tower was going to be left to Haku at some point, but for now, she was still accompanying Shrein and the others to look after things. The Administration had made no modifications and it was going about its natural activities normally.

Eventually, they would start managing the Northwest Tower as well, but at the moment, they really didn’t have the time.

As for how Amamiya Tower was doing now, it hadn’t changed much.

The only thing that had changed was the number of summoned beasts, and they had not summoned anything new to the Floors.

The Fairy Stones that had been placed in the Floor had been left untouched for now.

The reason for this was to check what would happen if they were left alone for a while… So instead, they were working on other things.

But it wasn’t anything too serious.

They were working on increasing the number of summons on each Floor and setting up summoning circles for food.

Other than that, Kousuke spent his time researching divine tools.

… As for the divine tools, there were no major developments.

To put it bluntly, there wasn’t anything new to install, so there was nothing else he could think of to do.

It would be nice to place as many items as possible, but if he did it for no reason, he would not be able to manage the Tower effectively.

The same went for summons. The Floors of Amamiya Tower were huge, so whether they were summoning one kind of summon or multiple kinds of summons on one Floor, managing it would be difficult.

Although this was not a dead end, Kousuke’s real intention was not to do anything too crazy.

In addition, Nana and Wanri seemed to be doing fine in their current Floors.

There was no need to limit it to just Nana and Wanri, but Kousuke couldn’t decide who else to leave it to.

“Well, what do I do now?”

“Big Brother, are you thinking about something?”

While Kousuke was thinking, Wanri came over to him.

Incidentally, when Kousuke was thinking in a place like this where other members were also present, it was when he wanted someone to listen to him.

Otherwise, he would be in the lab endlessly worrying.

He did this only when he believed the problem could be solved from another person’s perspective.

Of course, the members of the group knew this, and they accompanied him.

Rather, the other members did the same thing.

“Oh, Wanri, you’re here.”

Upon seeing Wanri, Kousuke immediately reached out for her head and started petting her.

Although Kousuke did it out of habit, Wanri didn’t stop him either.

In fact, he once asked if he should stop, but Wanri looked very disappointed at the suggestion, so he continued to do so.

Wanri just seemed to enjoy getting petted, whether in human or fox form.

It was the same for wolves and other foxes that liked getting petted by Kousuke.

“I’m wondering if we should increase the number of Floors with summoned creatures.”

“More…!”

Seeing Wanri’s happy face, Kousuke thought to himself.

“Huh? Should I get more?”

“Eh? I mean, we’ll have a lot more friends, right?”

“Yes, but… But isn’t the administration a lot of work?”

Hearing Kousuke’s words, Wanri tilted her head.

“Administration… Meals?”

“No, that’s part of it, but you do patrols and stuff, don’t you?”

“I’m just making my rounds, you know? It’s not like I’m doing anything special. I’m sure it’s the same for Nana-chan.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah.”

The reason why Nana and Wanri were patrolling the area where their respective kin were located was to show that they were there.

By doing so, they prevented their flocks and dependents from wreaking havoc.

In the past, Nana would assist with hunting, but now she was completely out of the picture.

In that sense, it could be said that she was simply going back and forth between the herds.

“I see… So does that mean that setting up a summoning circle will be a problem?”

“Can’t it be the same monsters or animals from the Floor?”

“No, not necessarily, but is it going to be a problem?”

The current Floor with wolves and foxes was well-balanced by setting up summoning circles to secure food for them.

Of course, the reason they were set up was to make them evolve, but it also meant securing food for them.

“It’s alright… I guess, but will the territory become bigger?”

“Well, yes, I suppose so. Wouldn’t that make it difficult to keep the pack together as well?”

The foxes didn’t seem to be as pack-oriented as the wolves, but they still acted together, which was why they weren’t being hunted by monsters in the vicinity.

In a way, the current Floors were well balanced in terms of the food chain.

“It’s okay… I think…”

Wanri looked down, unsure.

“No, I see. Thanks, I think I know what the issue is after talking to you.”

“… Really?”

“Really, really. The point is, we just need to be able to properly set up a summoning circle for food on a regular basis.”

“Can you do that?”

“I don’t know. At the moment, I don’t know if I can. After all, I’ve never tried it before.”

What Kousuke was thinking was that they should make something that could allow the control panel to automatically set up a summoning circle.

He had never thought of adjusting the control panel before, so he had no idea if it was possible.

But it would be well worth the challenge.

After all, if it works, it would make managing Sylvia’s experiment much easier.

In order to examine what he could do immediately, Kousuke left Wanri and headed for the laboratory.

“So, Kousuke, what did you start doing in your cage again?”

Colette asked, as Kousuke didn’t come out of his room even when it was time for dinner.

It was not the first time something like this had happened, which was why she asked.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Ever since we had that conversation a while ago…”

“Oh. No, no. I’m not blaming you, Wanri.”

Today, Wanri had planned to have dinner with them, so she stayed at the Administration Floor till this late.

Wanri looked apologetic, so Colette followed up in a hurry.

“Oh, should I go get him?”

Haku said and got up from her seat.

“Haku, it’s no use, you don’t have to go.”

Haku was stopped by Shrein.

Kousuke, in fact, was so focused on this situation that he didn’t notice anyone calling out to him.

As a result, he had skipped meals once or twice.

That was why Shrein and the others were already used to dealing with this sort of situation.

“Now that this has happened, he probably won’t come out for a while. We shall have our meal on our own.”

“But if he skips the meal, won’t Father get sick?”

“Don’t worry, Kouhi and Mitsuki won’t let that happen.”

Shrein’s words were met with emphatic nods from all the members except Wanri and Haku.

“As for Kousuke, there’s no point in worrying about him for now, so let’s just eat!”

Colette declared, and the other members started eating as they wished.

Haku and Wanri followed suit and started eating as well.
