After deciding what to do about the evolution of Peach, they decided to accomplish their original goal.
The original goal was to see if it was possible to “see” the weak points of monsters, something Kousuke tried to do when he was working with Cecil and Arisa as adventurers.
When he had tried this before, Nana’s power was too strong and he was unable to get a proper confirmation.
However, monsters were not too weak when it came to the 81st Floor.
Even Nana could not defeat a monster of the 81st Floor in a single blow.
Of course, the reason he brought Sylvia and Peach with him was because he was interested in testing their blessings.
For Peach, it was to see if it could be confirmed using divination, and for Sylvia, it was to see if she could see it in the status.
Of course, Kousuke would check it as well.
He came up with this idea when he was working as an adventurer because he had the feeling that this was something he could do.
It was not like there was a status display or something easy to see with the eye.
It was just a feeling that he knew which part of the monster to strike…
Or perhaps one could call it intuition.
He had come to confirm that feeling, which he was not sure about.
First, he asked Nana to take down the monsters without giving any instructions.
As expected, she was unable to defeat the monster instantly as she had done during their adventuring activities, but she was able to defeat the monster without a problem.
“…It felt like Nana was getting stronger than before?”
“…It’s not just my imagination.”
“It’s wonderful~”
When Nana was hunting monsters on this 81st Floor before, it took a little more time for her to defeat the monsters.
Obviously, the efficiency was higher than back then.
When Kousuke was active as an adventurer, he didn’t notice it because all the monsters were of a lower rank than the ones in this place.
“At this rate, I’m sure Nana alone will be able to go to a floor further up.”
Mitsuki, who had come along as Kousuke’s escort, gave the three of them a somewhat stunned look.
“By the way, how far up?”
The floor from the 81st floor up was lumped together as the floor where advanced monsters appeared, but there were different levels of strength within that group.
Naturally, the higher you go, the more troublesome they become.
“Well, it depends on the compatibility between the two. But I think going up two or three Floors is okay.”
Come to think of it, the wolves on this floor were hunting well enough to sustain the pack without Nana.
There was no way that Nana, who was even stronger than them, would not be able to manage with only one Floor above them.

“Huh. Oh well…I suppose it should be fine to only put Nana up on the upper floor. I’ll think about that later. For now, let’s just accomplish what we originally set out to do.”
He already told Sylvia and Peach about the purpose of the plan.
This time, Kousuke decided to give instructions to Nana.
The target was the same monster that Nana defeated.
Since this was just an experiment, they were going to target similar monsters so that they would avoid a series of battles.
Kousuke found a suitable target and gave Nana instructions as he had before.
Nana seemed to know what she had to do and was listening to Kousuke’s instructions carefully.
The instructions were not very long.
Kousuke simply told Nana to attack by aiming at specific areas.
However, the points to aim at were different for each individual, so the instructions were somewhat drawn out.
When Kousuke finished his instructions, Nana attacked the same monster again.
“Is it getting a little better?”
“Well~? I don’t think it has changed much.”
“I don’t feel much changed either.”
That’s how they felt watching Nana finish taking down the monster.
“Hmmm. Was it just my imagination after all?”
Mitsuki waited for Kousuke, who tilted his head.
“…No, I don’t think so. If possible, could you try the same thing again?”
He asked, as if he sensed some difference compared to the previous battle.
“Hmm. Okay, Nana, are you okay?”
“Wan!”
Nana, who had already returned to Kousuke’s side, answered while waving her tail.
Incidentally, the monster’s body had already been collected in Mitsuki’s item box after being drained of blood.
The materials harvested in this floor’s monsters were expensive.
They did not collect the monster materials when they were on the hunt, but to Kousuke and the others, they simply couldn’t leave what was in front of them.

“She is getting better.”
“Yes, indeed…”
“It’s obviously taking her less time.”
In the next verification, as Sylvia said, the time for Nana to defeat the monsters became shorter
“It seems that during the previous battle, she took a bit of time to move according to Kousuke-sama’s instructions. She must have gotten used to it by now.”
Mitsuki said that Nana had her own way of defeating the enemy, but Kousuke’s instructions had disrupted her rhythm.
However, Nana was still a high spec animal, so she was able to follow the instructions well.
This time, she had become accustomed to the instructions, so the improvement was recognizable.
“Kousuke-sama was right about the weak point, but it took a lot of time to exploit it at first.”
“I see. It seems that one must gradually get used to it.”
“That, it seems.”
If possible, he would like to check with the next target right away, but he can’t let her fight continuously.
He wouldn’t hold back if something approached for a fight, but there was no need to risk it.
“What about you two? Did you find anything?”
Kousuke, who had returned to the base for a break, checked in with Sylvia and Peach.
“I didn’t really understand…”
Peach said, tilting her head.
To begin with, Peach’s current power was related to dreams, so it might not manifest when she was awake.
If possible, he had hoped to be able to manifest it even when she was awake, like fortune-telling, but unfortunately, it did not work out so conveniently.
“Well, what about Sylvia?”
“I… I couldn’t tell.”
When asked by Kousuke, Sylvia gave a strange response.
In fact, it seemed as if she might know something, but if asked specifically what it was, her answer seemed vague.
“I see. Nana and I will continue to try it out on a few more targets, so please let me know if you find anything at that time. I might be able to answer some of your questions.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll try a few more things, as well~”
Seeing Sylvia nodding her head, Peach also came over to mention such a thing.
Peach had been thinking about the dream when she was told that it was related to the power of the blessings, but then she remembered that it had seemed more like divination to begin with.
If that was the case, she thought that there might be something else she could do.
“Alright. That would be great.”
Kousuke agreed, as that was what he was aiming for as well.
Kousuke also believed that in the case of Peach, it would not be good to focus solely on the power of dreams.
Naturally, this also applied to the other members.
It was just Kousuke’s intuition, but he felt that there were many other possibilities.
That being said, he did not mean to deny the possibility of holding only one power.
That would be left to their own judgment.
If Kousuke were to guide them with words, as he was doing now, it might end up meaningless.
Kousuke would be happy if they could learn to use it in various ways as they experiment with it.
