“Ugh… Uuuu… You guys are awful~”
Peach was sprawled face down on the sofa, looking like a shriveled starfish.
This was the result of Shurein, Silvia, and Colette taking turns attacking Peach under the guise of a durability test.
Seeing this, the three of them exchanged awkward glances.
At first, they had attacked with light hits, treating it like an experiment, but when they realized Peach was completely unfazed, they got carried away and gradually increased the power of their attacks.
Towards the end, seeing that their attacks weren’t working at all, they unleashed one powerful attack after another.
Despite being at the center of all those attacks, Peach stood there without a single scratch.
However, for Peach herself, who had been at the center of so many attacks, it must have been incredibly nerve-wracking.
And this was the current state of Peach.
“Ah, no. Sorry. We just got carried away…”
“Indeed. Frankly, we apologize.”
“I’m so sorry!”
Likely realizing they had gone too far, the three of them bowed their heads towards Peach.
“I-it’s okay now~”
Seeing this, Peach waved her hands flusteredly, but a sense of awkwardness still lingered among the three.
“R-right… Well then, how about this?”
Suddenly, Colette pulled Shurein and Silvia closer and began whispering to them, consulting about something.
By the time their consultation was over, the three of them were all smiling.
“Peach, we’ve prepared a gift to apologize for this incident. Please accept it, and let’s forget about this whole thing.”
“No~ I don’t think you need to go that far…”
“What if that apology is the ‘right to have Kousuke freely for a day’?”
Peach, who had been lying face down on the sofa, suddenly sat up.
“I’ll gladly accept!”
The moment she heard Shurein’s proposal, Peach immediately decided to accept.
“Eh~? What’s in it for me…?”
“Be quiet. Besides, who was it that started provoking us when we were just doing normal attacks at first?”
“While I was being attacked, I could hear you saying things like, ‘Oh, it’s not working at all~’.”
“I’ll gladly be the prize.”
Kousuke immediately bowed his head as well.
“And besides, when you can spend time with such a beautiful woman, do you have any complaints?”
At Colette’s words, Kousuke looked at Peach anew.
Even without giving it much thought, Peach was among the members, possessing beauty second only to Kouhi and Mitsuki.
In fact, by Kousuke’s standards (and by the values of this world), all the members of the tower were beautiful.
Kousuke marveled anew at how such diverse types of attractive people had gathered.
“No. Not at all. I gratefully accept.”
“Yay~!”
True to her character, Peach’s attitude changed instantly from before, and she jumped up with joy.
Seeing this, Kousuke thought that perhaps having a day like this occasionally was fine.

A date, a date, a day-long date~
Mitsuki watched Peach, who was singing an unintelligible song with delight, with a puzzled expression.
Kouhi had been by Kousuke’s side until now, so Mitsuki had been in a different location.
“Did something happen?”
“…Ah, yeah, well. A lot of things.”
“Hmm… Well, okay. By the way, did you see the Divine Power recovery values on the 91st Floor? Something interesting has happened!”
“…Huh? I haven’t.”
At Mitsuki’s words, Kousuke immediately checked.
By the way, the tower’s management menu allowed users to view the Divine Power recovery values for each floor.
Mitsuki was telling him to look exactly there.
And when Kousuke saw the Divine Power recovery values for the specified 91st Floor, his eyes widened.
“…What!? What is this?”
Until yesterday, the Divine Power recovery value for the 91st Floor had not reached a hundred per day as natural occurrence.
But as of today, it was close to ten thousand.
The 91st Floor was a floor where high-level monsters appeared.
If monsters could be defeated, this was a plausible number, so it wasn’t strange, but the problem was who had done it.
“Did Mitsuki do it?”
“No. I saw it and went to confirm who did it.”
Basically, Kouhi and Mitsuki maintained their position as Kousuke’s guards.
When one of them was free, they would go to confirm if anything unusual had happened in the tower.
“…Then who?”
“That’s why I said something interesting has happened.”
“Let’s go confirm.”
It was rare for Kouhi to voice her opinion, but she did.
Kouhi also likely wanted to confirm what was happening on the 91st Floor.
Kousuke had no reason to refuse either, or rather, he wanted to confirm it as soon as possible, so he immediately accepted.
Given how happily Mitsuki was acting, he didn’t think it would be a major issue.
In the end, all the members of the tower decided to accompany them, but everyone except Mitsuki stared blankly at the scene before them.
Unusually, very unusually, Kouhi was included in this group.
Mitsuki, seeing this, laughed happily.
“How is it? As I said, something interesting has happened, right? That’s how I felt at first too.”
“…This is outrageous.”
“…Impossible.”
“…How could this happen?”
“…I feel embarrassed for being a little too excited~.”
“…It’s just… how did this happen?”
Before their eyes, the 91st Floor was being overrun by high-level monsters.
The monsters that appeared on the 91st Floor were the lower-ranking ones among the high-level monsters.
Even so, they were high-level. Kouhi and Mitsuki vouched for their strength.
These monsters (Helhmiz: Insectoid monsters) were being easily dealt with.
And the one easily dealing with them was Nana.
At first, they couldn’t recognize it as Nana.
Her size and fur were vastly different.
Kousuke initially thought it was just a monster, but after frantically checking its status, he inadvertently muttered Nana’s name.
Hearing this, the members who had overheard it uttered the lines prior.
Nana, having finished her fight with the monsters, approached Kousuke happily, as if she had noticed him from the start.
As she got closer, it became clear that her appearance was completely different from before.
First, her size. She was large enough to carry Kousuke alone, or even two or three adults.
And her fur had turned a brilliant silver.
Currently, there was some blood on her due to fighting monsters, but even so, her beauty was undeniable.
Nana seemed bothered by the blood, as she kept licking the blood off her fur.
Only her eyes still emitted the same light as before.
“Well… I’m stumped.”
Needless to say, Kousuke checked Nana’s status due to the unexpected change.
Whether it was unexpected or inevitable, her stats had drastically changed.
Fixed Name: Nana
Species Name: Silver Great God
Unique Skills: Howl LV9, Body Slam LV8, Bite LV9, Intimidate LV10, Pack Tactics LV7
Language Comprehension (Familiar) LV9, Divine Power Manipulation LV10, Fairy Language, Wind Magic LV8
Moonlight LV9, Water Magic LV6, Lunar Radiance LV5
Heavenly Blessing Skills: Command LV9, Silver Great God, Body Size Change
Titles: Kousuke’s Familiar, Messenger of the Moon God (Great God), Blessing of the Moon God
To those who think: “Wouldn’t it have been better if Kouhi and Mitsuki earned more by defeating monsters in the upper floors?”
…You are correct, but Kousuke believes that cheating to clear a game is not fun, so he does not intend to use their power for such purposes.
He believes he will not use their power unless it is necessary. Probably.
