Although Kousuke was being an adventurer away from the Administration Floor, he did not leave the manifestation of his power to the members alone.
He was able to understand a certain amount of what was going on with the people he had given blessings to.
Naturally, he knew what was going on not only with Lirica, Peach, and Shrein, who had already manifested their powers, but also with the other members to some extent.
He understood that this was also because the power of the Blessing had been manifested or was about to be manifested.
Kousuke was able to detect Peach’s dreams and returned to the Administration Floor because of this situation.
In a sense, Kousuke could relax and enjoy his activities as an adventurer because he knew what was going on while he was away from home.
Kousuke, however, was also testing his own strength.
Currently, Kousuke and his group were working together with Lirica’s Party members.
The reason they were doing this was because Sally, the leader of Lirica’s Party, asked them to do so.
If it turned out ok, one party would be able to take down an enemy, but since new members had recently joined the party, Sally felt uneasy about it, so she asked Kousuke if they could go with her.
At first, she approached Cecil and Arisa, but they turned her down the first time, saying that Kousuke was with them at the moment.
However, they mentioned that if Kousuke agreed to join they would be fine with it, so Kousuke was approached as well.
Kousuke also wanted to work with Lirica, so it was a good opportunity for them.
Kousuke suddenly had an insight and asked Lirica, who was standing next to him.
“The Brown Bear we’re going to defeat has a weak spot in its chest, right?”
“Ah, yes, that’s right.”
Not only Brown Bear, but most monsters that resembled animals have a weak spot where the heart was located, which was usually in a fixed position.
For the Brown Bear, the heart was located in the chest.
“Hmm. I see.”
“Did you come up with something?”
Arisa, who had been listening to the conversation, asked Kousuke.
As he had done before, Kousuke was testing something when he was fighting.
She guessed that this was one of those times, so she asked.
“Yeah. Well, I got the inspiration when I saw Lirica.”
“Wait, me?”
“Yes. Well, you’ll have to wait and see what it’s all about when we get there.”
Kousuke smiled as he said this.
He had a certain amount of confidence in this experiment.
However, the experiment would require Nana’s cooperation.
Kousuke told the group, who were all tilting their heads, that they would have to wait until they arrived at the site to find out what the experiment would be.

First, Lirica and her party decided to hunt a Brown Bear.
Kousuke and his team were on standby in case Lirica’s party had any problems.
At first, their coordination was still a bit awkward, but in the time from finding and hunting the first Brown Bear and the last one, they seemed to have improved a lot.
On the contrary, it was like they were showing him how great they were at working together.
“Well, it was a great result, I suppose. That’s what coordination is supposed to be like.”
“Yes, that’s true.”
Cecil and Arisa nodded in agreement.
The general pattern of their party’s battle, including Kousuke’s, was basically to use spirit magic (or fairies) to defeat the monsters while Familiars and front liners held the monsters at bay.
In a way, it could be considered as coordination, but since it only took a moment to settle the battle, it could not be called coordination in a real sense, as they had witnessed from watching Sally and her team’s battle.
“I’m flattered by the praise, but what do you guys usually do?”
Sally, who had just finished defeating the enemy, asked Kousuke and the others, as she overheard the conversation.
Kousuke had nothing to hide, so he told her exactly what he just mentioned.
“That’s just… should I say that I envy them, or that I find it dangerous?”
It seemed that when it came to someone as good as Sally, Kousuke and his team’s fighting style was dangerous.
“Is that so?”
“Well, I can’t say anything until you show me what it looks like.”
The impression one gets from hearing about it and actually seeing it varied greatly.
For this reason, Sally also avoided giving a proper evaluation.
She thought that since it was Kousuke and the others’ turn next, she would be able to give a proper evaluation.
“…”
Sally, who had witnessed the battle with Kousuke and the others, had her mouth wide open.
Not only Sally, but all party members, including Lirica, had similar expressions on their faces.
“What can I say… Can I correct my earlier assessment?”
“Uh, well, what do you think of it?”
“I don’t think you even need to work together as long as you’re fighting monsters on this Floor!”
Sally said, pointing to the Brown Bear that had been easily defeated before her eyes.
Hearing Sally’s words, the party members nodded vigorously.
They had not thought that spirit magic was this powerful.
It seemed impossible to witness someone beating a brown bear with a single blow by using spirit magic.
Of course, there was a misunderstanding in this.
It was not that spirit magic alone was powerful, but that Cecil and Arisa, who were using it, were strong.
However, those two didn’t consider themselves that strong either, since Collete was even better than them as a spirit user.
Kousuke was even above that, but since both Cecil and Arisa knew only Collete as a spirit user, they did not consider themselves as strong.
Incidentally, Kousuke did not call for fairies in the current battle.
Kousuke wondered what would happen if he called out fairies.

After successfully defeating the requested number of targets, the next step was for everyone to accompany Kousuke’s experiment.
Sally and her party had no problems, so he told them they could go home, but Sally was interested in Kousuke’s experiments.
Kousuke, who had no intention of hiding anything, allowed Sally to observe the experiment.
Now, a Brown Bear and Nana were facing each other in front of their eyes.
Incidentally, Nana had not left Kousuke’s side during the previous battle, so this was her first demonstration.
It was an unbelievable sight to see a Brown Bear stuck staring at a lone wolf, but Kousuke’s next instruction was also unbelievable.
“For now, Nana, try lunging at its chest area.”
As Kousuke said this, Nana disappeared from the scene.
The next moment, there was a collapsed Brown Bear and Nana wagging her tail happily by his side.
“Hmmm…Nana is too strong for me to understand the effect.”
It was no wonder that everyone except Cecil and Arisa, who saw the scene, exclaimed in their hearts that they were not only too strong, but that the enemies around the floor were too weak for them.
Sally asked Cecil and Arisa as she glanced at Kousuke, who was quickly giving Nana the next instruction.
“Hey, what’s that!”
“What can I say… It’s a wolf Familiar, right?”
Cecil tilted her head in wonder.
They did not mention the word “God” in their answer.
Giving them unnecessary information would only cause trouble for Sally and the others.
Lirica was the only one with a subtle expression on her face.
Even if she did not know that Nana was a kind of divine beast, she could still somehow understand what she was.
“Ah, that… It’s not just a wolf, is it?”
“That’s because, well, a mere wolf couldn’t have done that. In that sense, our Familiar is a little special, as well, you see?”
Cecil spoke in a way that subtly shifted interest from Nana, but Sally didn’t notice and looked at the wolf and fox at Cecil’s feet.
Thinking about it, a Familiar who could keep a Brown Bear at bay was unusual.
Sally finally realized this when Cecil told her so.
Sally sighed inwardly, thinking that her intuition was becoming unreliable.
