Before leaving the Beast Demon Guild, I decided to ask about the vegetables sold in this city.

''Where can I get vegetables?''

'Does that mean you want to have a farm and grow it?'

I don't plan to do this in earnest, but I thought it would be helpful if we could pick vegetables regularly.

Vegetables...

Setia's eyes light up in anticipation when she hears this. Seeing this, the two of them agree and tell me.

''You can get vegetable seeds and seedlings from the agricultural guild's quest.

'You can get one small field just by belonging to it, too. After that, it costs a lot of money to grow a field and to add more fields.

There are guilds, after all. And it's no surprise that fields cost money... but if you can join a guild and get small fields and quests, it's worth a try. But I've never seen a field in this town, or rather, the royal capital.

'Where is it going to be or where is it going to be?　I don't see any fields in this royal capital.

There's a village near here called Verdore. The vegetables come from there.

Verdore...Italian for vegetable. You have the same sense of naming as I do. From the way you're talking, it sounds like you're in the vicinity, and I'm sure you'll find out where it is at the library or the farming guild.

Thank you.

Hmm. Let me know when you make some good vegetables.

You haven't said you're going to make it yet?

'When you look at me with such a motivated look in your eyes, it's as good as saying it.

I didn't know you were looking at me like that...I guess I can't blame you because I'm actually very motivated. Well then, now that I have more things to do, let's get some free time (cousin).

We'll have some food and buff up. We decided to head to the sea first. It was decided that we would go to the village of Verdore in the afternoon.

So the first war breaks out over the members on the move. Liquor and Darley will use two slots. Inevitably, there are three slots left. Lily and the others are four. One of them is staying at home. Aeon is required to stay at sea, so I asked him to stay at home, but he refused.

'Because I get to ride a horse with Tact-san!　It's absolutely non-negotiable!

So when the decision is made by lottery, the stay-at-home is decided by ion.

I'm depressed with my hands on the ground.

The members have been chosen, but this is where the second war breaks out. Who will ride with me next? No one can give in and eventually we decide by lottery again, and Love Fire wins.

''We did it!　Takt brother!

Good luck with that.

Yes!

Love Fire is happy with a big smile on her face. On the other hand, as for Lily and the others.

''Whoa!　I lost!

"...Sister Aeon, would you like to take over?　I have a very bad feeling about this...

'I have a bad feeling about this, too, so I'll refrain from doing so.

We had this conversation. I have a bad feeling about it too, but let's hope I'm not right.

So the members have been chosen and let's go to the beach. Me and Koihi are Darley. Lily and the others will be on the liqueur. The reason? Riding a white horse is still a bit embarrassing. Once you get used to it, you'll be fine, but I think I'll ride Darley for a while now.

I'm sure Rikyu would be more than happy to do so.

Then he began his first horse transfer.

'You're still fast,'

'Yes!　The wind is nice.

We were enjoying a comfortable horse ride. Lily and the others, on the other hand, unfortunately, had a bad feeling about it.

'Wow!　Take it easy!　Liqueur!

It's your sister Lily who's acting up!　Please operate properly!

The horses are controlled by me and Lily. The reason Lily is in control of the horse is because it is equipped with a large sword, so it is possible to fight with wolves and other animals on horseback. The length of the sword is inevitably important when dealing with animals such as Wolves. If all of the Wolves are going to jump on you, you can use a normal sword, but that's not going to happen.

And there are two ways to fight in horse combat, with the person in control holding the reins, or with the reins off. The former will be one-handed, but you can do normal horseback combat. This is the method of warfare that sword equipment like Lily does, and the latter is the method of warfare for bows and magic.

This latter is the tricky part. It turns out that if you let go of the reins, the reins lose their effectiveness. I'm not going to be able to control my horse while I'm off the reins.

This is extremely dangerous. It's a good idea to be able to hold the reins right after firing a bow, so you can do it in front of them, but not with magic. While chanting, you can't move and your horse is out of control. I can only see a future of accidents. So I think the wizard should ride behind and shoot magic. If you're going to use magic in front, you'll have to stop before you can use it.

I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to find a way to make it work. Therefore, I'm in control of it.

But the liqueur is wobbling here and there following Lily's controls. If it weren't for the horse's equipment, I would have fallen off the horse for sure. I managed to get to the sea, but Lily and her friends were having none of it.

'Duh, are you okay?　Sisters.

I'm going to wobble.

I don't feel good...

In conclusion, letting Lily control the horse, let alone fight on horseback, turned out to be dangerous in itself. There were a few battles, but only attacks, and Lily was dexterous in avoiding them. Why not just make that control a normal part of the game?

By the way, in the battle itself, the horse's speed was overwhelming. Since Love Fire was able to use magic from on the horse, the enemy was battered. I was in control of the horse and couldn't participate in the attack.

These battles made Liquor and Darley level up.

Here's the discomfort. Darley's leveling up makes sense. Sprint was used in the battle, so it made sense for him to level up. If Lily and the others weren't using it, they wouldn't be using Liquor, so there would be no leveling up.

But the liqueur leveling up can't be 2 levels up. We actually fought goblins and crows. They aren't exactly tasty enemies in terms of experience. And yet, this level up.

I had an idea. When Rikyuu evolved, he evolved at a level of 1, the level raised in the orc battle. At that time, he was experienced enough to raise the level of Toratetsu, Chess, and Byakuya, who were also high level, by two levels.

I knew the math didn't add up, but I should see that this means that when you reach the level of evolution, the rest of your experience will be carried over to the next time.

Next up is Info.

'This is your first time to engage in riding combat. I've gained the title 'Rider in Combat'.
Rider skills have been released.

It's been a while since I got a title. And what a jockey skill release!

I guess the name makes it a stable skill for riding combat. Anyway, let's check the title first.

A title: "Riding Fighter".
Effect: The horse's agility and dexterity are increased and the rider's skills are released while riding.
This title can be earned by those who have done some riding combat.

The rider skill only means you can fight with arrows, staff, sword, and spear with the same martial skills.

The devil inside me whispers, "Get your horsemanship skills! Kuhu...I certainly recognize its excellence, but that's no good. I'm running out of skill points to spare.

I don't have any weapons, so I'll stop trying to get them now... it's a shame.
