It was around the time Kousuke first landed on the Central Continent.

 

Kousuke was trying various things to figure out the power of his left eye anyway.

 

The first thing he found out was that he could see the status of various objects when he consciously used his divine power with his left eye.

 

However, as Kousuke confirmed at first, there were some places masked by ? in some places.

 

One of the questions was whether it was possible to see those parts to begin with.

 

When he first fainted, more information than what was displayed now must have flowed through the screen.

 

If he tried to see all of that information, he might end up fainting at the same time as he did at the beginning.

 

As Asura told him that if he continued to use the power of his left eye, the limiter would be removed, Kousuke carefully channeled his divine power and continued to see various things with his left eye.

 

As a result, Kousuke’s handling of divine power improved at once, but Kousuke did not realize it at that time.

 

The steady investigation of the power of the left eye continued even after he conquered Amamiya Tower.

 

As a result of his diligent efforts, he was able to confirm that he was able to see something that he had not been able to see before.

 

He still could not see where Kouhi and Mitsuki were unknown, though.

 

As a result of various tests, it seemed that the “Blank” areas became visible when the limiter was removed, as Asura had mentioned.

 

The reason why Kouhi and Mitsuki’s status was not visible was because Kousuke’s own power was insufficient, and the limiter was applied.

 

If this were the case, Kousuke might be able to see the “Blank” in their status by using his left eye or by raising his own level.

 

While thinking about this, Kousuke continued to see various things with his left eye that day.

Collete and Sylvia had just arrived at the Administration Floor.

 

Seeing Kousuke plopped down on the table, Collete asked him with a curious look.

 

“What are you doing?”

 

“No, I was testing the power of my left eye in various ways and my head started to hurt.”

 

“Didn’t we tell you not to push yourself too hard?”

 

Collete asked Kousuke with a puzzled look on his face.

 

“That’s right. I just got a little overexcited…”

 

“Seriously. Sylvia will be worried if you collapse from overdoing it too much, okay?”

 

“Yes, I’m sorry.”

 

Kousuke apologized honestly to Collete, who looked really worried.

 

He was aware that he had indeed worked too hard, so he decided not to do anything reckless in the future.

 

“That’s fine then. But still, status is a strange thing, isn’t it?”

 

“Is it? Well, I guess it is.”

 

In the first place, it would be strange to express the skills that people possess in numerical form, if you think about it in a normal way.

 

It must be because of Kousuke’s knowledge of games in Japan.

 

“Even the swordsmanship skill I have is well displayed, even though I’ve never really been that aware of it.”

 

Collete said to him while checking the Crown Card.

 

Sylvia and Collete’s Crown Card had been made when they decided to come to the Administration Floor.

 

“Really?”

 

“Yes. Yes, I am proficient with a sword, but my main weapon is a bow.”

 

Collete could also use a sword, but her main weapon was a bow, just like any elf.

 

This remained the case even after teaming up with Sylvia.

 

Collete’s bow was used to control the enemy attacks, and Sylvia would use her magic to stop them.

 

They did not take on any crazy requests to defeat monsters that could not be defeated by Sylvia’s magic.

 

However, as an adventurer, there were always times when things didn’t go according to plan.

 

In those cases, Collete used a sword, but she still did not consider herself to be able to handle it well.

 

At first, Collete was surprised to see that her swordsmanship skills were displayed well.

 

“Well, the status doesn’t only show the main skill you are using… Huh? So what do you think this is all about?”

 

Collete asked Kousuke, who had suddenly started pondering.

 

“What’s wrong, all of a sudden?”

 

“Well, the status is displayed by the Engraving Device, right?”

 

“Yes, that’s right.”

 

“That means it doesn’t have anything to do with the power of my left eye.”

 

“What are you implying?”

 

Collete tilted her head, unsure of what Kousuke meant.

 

“Oh, sorry. I mean that there is a way to check the status without using the power of my left eye itself.”

 

“Well, I don’t really know how that machine works. When you use that machine to make a card, are you saying that you don’t use the power of that eye?”

 

“Roughly speaking, yes.”

 

To be precise, it is transcribing data using a part of the power of his left eye to read the status, but Collete was about right.

 

It was only a copy of the power, so just because the Engraving Device was working, it did not mean that Kousuke’s left eye was working every single time.

 

“What difference does it make?”

 

“The power to display a person’s ability as a status indicated that it wasn’t a power that only I could use alone.”

 

“???”

 

Collete tilted her head further, not quite understanding what Kousuke meant.

 

“So, the part that I can’t see now as hidden data is not because I don’t have enough power myself, but there may be other reasons.”

 

“Oh, that’s what you were talking about!”

 

Finally, understanding what Kousuke meant, Collete nodded.

 

“Huh? But is it Kouhi and Mitsuki’s status that is hidden data?”

 

“Besides that, there are other skills that you possess that I can’t see.”

 

Currently, “?” displayed on the screen was checked only by the three of them, including Kousuke himself.

 

Although Kousuke was trying his best to see what it would be displayed as, he may have made a fundamental mistake in the first place.

 

“So it’s not that Kousuke isn’t doing enough, but that it could be a different factor causing the problem.”

 

“Yes, yes.”

 

Kousuke nodded and put his hand on his chin in a thinking gesture.

 

“Then what could be the cause…”

 

No matter how much he tilted his head, he couldn’t figure it out.

 

It was too vague to begin with, and he had no idea what was causing it.

 

In the end, at this point, he couldn’t come up with anything at all and had to leave it alone.

On one of the many visits to Sanctuary, he suddenly remembered the masked data on the status.

 

There were some parts of Kouhi and Mitsuki’s statuses that were not visible, but there were still some that could be seen.

 

Kousuke could see ordinary battle skills and general skills such as cooking.

 

To begin with, Kousuke’s status of <Goddess XX> and <Celestial Maiden XX> was still unknown to him.

 

Since he remembered, he decided to ask Asura about it.

 

“Well, even if you ask. I don’t understand it either.”

 

“Oh? Is that so?”

 

“I think I told you before, but even I can’t grasp Kousuke’s power.”

 

Since it was a new power for this world, even the brilliant Asura didn’t seem to understand it.

 

“Hmm. Well, that’s a bummer.”

 

Kousuke nodded without too much discouragement, as he had never been inconvenienced by not knowing before.

 

“However, I might be able to somehow understand why it was not displayed in Kousuke’s own check, though.”

 

“Eh! Really? Why?”

 

Asura smiled mysteriously at Kousuke, who asked with great vigor.

 

“It’s a secret. You’ll have to find out for yourself.”

 

Kousuke knew from their previous relationships that no matter how hard he tried, he would be left in the dark.

 

In the end, he had no choice but to give up without finding any answers.
