After deciding on a policy for Peach’s evolution, they decided to achieve the original goal.
The original goal was to see if they could “see” a monster’s weak points, something they had tried while adventuring as a party with Cecil and Arisa.
When they tried before, Nana’s power was too strong, and they couldn’t confirm it properly.
However, on the 81st Floor, the monsters probably aren’t too weak.
Even Nana wouldn’t be able to defeat the monsters on the 81st Floor in a single blow.
The reason they brought Silvia and Peach was, of course, in anticipation of the power of their blessings.
They wanted to see if Peach could confirm it with a fortune-telling-like sensation, and if Silvia could see it as a status.
Of course, Kousuke sometimes confirms things himself.
When he originally thought of this during his adventuring days, it was because he had a feeling that it was somehow so.
It wasn’t displayed in the status or made easily visible to the eye.
It was purely a sensation, a feeling that he knew where to strike the monster… or so he felt.
Perhaps it could be called intuition.
He had come to verify this sensation that he himself didn’t fully understand.
First, they had Nana hunt a monster without any instructions.
As expected, she couldn’t defeat it in an instant like she could when adventuring, but she defeated the monster in front of her without any danger.
“…It feels like it’s gotten stronger than the last time I saw it?”
“…It is not your imagination.”
“Amazing~”
The last time Nana hunted monsters on this 81st Floor, she had taken a little more time.
Her efficiency was clearly better than it was then.
When they were adventuring, they only encountered monsters of a lower rank than these, so they hadn’t noticed.
“At this rate, Nana alone should be fine even if she goes to higher floors.”
Mitsuki, who had come along as Kousuke’s guard, gave her seal of approval to the somewhat bewildered trio.
“By the way, how much higher can she go?”
From the 81st Floor upwards, the floors are generally categorized as floors with high-level monsters, but there are also stages of strength within them.
Naturally, the higher they go, the more troublesome they become.
“Hmm. I think it depends on compatibility, but she should be alright going up two or three more floors, don’t you think?”
Come to think of it, these wolves on this floor hunt enough to maintain their pack without Nana.
There’s no way Nana, who surpasses them, couldn’t handle the higher floors.

“Haa. Well, that’s fine. There’s no point in just raising Nana to higher floors, so I’ll think about that later. For now, let’s achieve the original goal.”
They had already told Silvia and Peach about the purpose of this trip.
First, Kousuke decided to give Nana instructions.
The target was the same monster that Nana had just defeated.
Since it was an experiment, they aimed for a monster that was alone to avoid consecutive battles.
They selected an appropriate individual and gave Nana the same instructions as before.
Nana seemed to understand what she needed to do, as she listened attentively to Kousuke’s instructions.
It wasn’t particularly long instructions, though.
He was just telling her which area to aim for and attack.
However, the specific points to aim for varied for each individual, so the instructions became somewhat long.
Once Kousuke finished giving instructions, Nana attacked the monster again.
“Did it get any better?”
“Did it~? I feel like it hasn’t changed much.”
“I also felt like it hadn’t changed.”
That was their impression after watching Nana defeat the monster.
“Ugh. Was it just my imagination after all?”
Mitsuki stopped Kousuke, who was tilting his head.
“…No. If possible, could you try doing the same thing one more time?”
She said that, perhaps having felt some difference compared to the previous battle.
“Hmm. Understood. Nana, are you okay?”
“Woof!”
Nana, who had already returned to Kousuke’s side, replied, wagging her tail.
By the way, the monster’s body had already been drained of blood and collected in Mitsuki’s Item Box.
Monsters on this floor yield relatively valuable materials.
They don’t usually collect the monsters the wolves hunt, but they make sure to collect the ones hunted right in front of them like this.
“It’s gotten better.”
“It has, hasn’t it~”
“The time has clearly shortened.”
In the next verification, as Silvia said, the time to defeat the monster had shortened.
“It seems like she had a bit of trouble moving according to Kousuke-sama’s instructions before. Perhaps she’s gotten a little used to it this time.”
According to Mitsuki, Nana had her own way of defeating monsters, but Kousuke’s instructions had somewhat disrupted it.
However, even so, Nana, with her high specs, managed to follow the instructions properly.
This time, she had become accustomed to the instructions, so the improvement was noticeable.
“The weak point that Kousuke-sama mentioned was correct, but she struggled to strike it at first.”
“I see. So she’s gradually getting used to it, huh?”
“Yes.”
Ideally, they would want to confirm the next one immediately, but they couldn’t have her fight consecutively.
She could fight if necessary, but there was no need to take unnecessary risks.
“How about you two? Did you notice anything?”
Kousuke, who had returned to the base to rest, asked Silvia and Peach for their confirmation.
“I didn’t really understand anything~”
Peach said, tilting her head.
In the first place, Peach’s current power is related to dreams, so it might not manifest when she’s awake.
They had hoped it would manifest like fortune-telling even when awake, but unfortunately, it didn’t seem to work out that way.
“I see. Silvia?”
“I… can’t really say.”
Silvia gave Kousuke a strange answer.
In fact, she felt like she might be able to understand something, but if asked specifically what, the answer seemed to dissipate like a mist.
“I see. I’ll try a few more times with Nana, so if you notice anything that might give you a clue in the meantime, please let me know. You might be able to answer some questions.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll also try a few more things~”
Seeing Silvia nod, Peach also said something similar.
She had been thinking about dreams, given that their powers were related to blessings, but she remembered that it was originally more like fortune-telling.
With that in mind, she thought perhaps there were other things she could do.
“Yes. I hope so.”
Kousuke also agreed, as that was what he was aiming for.
Kousuke thought it wouldn’t be good for Peach to focus solely on dream powers.
Of course, this applied to the other members as well.
It was just Kousuke’s feeling, but he thought there were various other possibilities.
This wasn’t to say he negated continuously focusing on one power.
He left that judgment to the individuals themselves.
If he guided them with words as he was doing now, it might be meaningless.
He would be happy if they could learn to use various things through their own individual trials.
