Three days after the reverse camp at Kimura.

　This time we went to a village called "Tanimura".

　Tani Village is located between the mountains, and is a long and narrow village formed by the shape of a valley.

　It has a population of about 300 people.

　It is a village that I have not been able to visit much so far, but it is the third largest village in the territory after "1 Nakamura" and "2 Isomura".

　The land is rich in soil and spring water, and the villagers make their living by planting fields and orchards.


　DodoDodo......

　Whoa!　Wow!

　So, in this valley village, there were 20 people who belonged to the troop, led by Nao, the ace of the support system.

This village is quite cool in the summer, isn't it?

Yes, it is. Yes, it's a little highland.

　Yes, it's a little high altitude," Nao replied while giving instructions to the troops.


　Buzzing: ......

　As in the case of Kimura, we were training near the village, and little by little, people began to gather.

　There was a large crowd of people.

"Okay. Nao, it's time.

"Yes.

　Then, I have you switch your training to 'for attraction'.

　To be more specific, we'll use magic, guns, firepower, and flying horses.

　Oh, ......!

　This was a big hit.

"Hmm...

"Heh!　What do you think?

　The troops seemed to be greatly impressed by this.

　It's human nature to want to be cool in your hometown rather than anywhere else in the world.

"Mmmm, okay. Let's have lunch at this place.

　When I said this, the spectators clapped their hands.

"Oh, my lord.

"My lord, you're so cool!

　"My lord, you're so cool!" They cheered for me.

　What?　Could it be that I'm about to be popular?

　I'm sure you've heard of it, but I'm not sure if it's true.

　Well, people don't just suddenly start getting popular.

"Stop thinking about stupid things and let me eat, too.

　As I looked for a shady spot, I started to eat a rice ball that Igarashi-san had made for me for lunch: .......

　Yes, it's delicious.

　The plum, a slightly sour fruit, goes well with the rice and seaweed.

　......Munch, munch, munch!


　As I ate my lunch and looked around the village, I noticed a man in shades keeping a ledger between the houses.

　He was nothing special, but he was dressed differently from the rest of the people in the village, which made me curious.

　Munch, munch, munch: ...... Gokkun!

　I finished my rice ball, gulped down a cup of tea from a bamboo tube, and slowly walked over to the man and asked him.

You're from this village, aren't you?

"My lord, ......, no. I'm from the outer village.

　I am from the 'outer village'," the man replies gravely.

"Outer village?　What brings a man from Outer Village to Tanimura?

"Well. I'm here to get an estimate for summer vegetables from a customer in this village.

Purchase? ......

　I looked at him and saw that he had a booklet like a ledger hanging on his waist.

　I wanted to ask this man many questions, but I couldn't think of the right ones to ask him.

"If you'll excuse me, my lord.

　The man from the outer village bowed grandly and left.


　Hmmm... I guess I couldn't communicate properly with the people of the outer village.

　But I see.

　Gaiomura is not only responsible for trade with the outside world, but also for distributing the products of the inside world.

　Well, it is true that no village can survive on rice alone, and no village can survive on vegetables alone.

　Until now, there must have been a circulation of products in some way, with rice from Nakamura going to Kimura and Tanimura, and vegetables from Tanimura going to Nakamura and Kimura and .......

　But I can't imagine the circulation of these products without a monetary economy, and I wonder what kind of transactions the people in the outer villages are doing.

　I vaguely thought they were exchanging things for things, but it doesn't feel like bartering to me.

(Recently we've created something similar to money called ppt, but its circulation is still limited.


　I'll ask Garcia about it again.


　I'll ask Garcia again.


　After that.

　The afternoon training ended with a great success, and I stayed at Nao's house on the recommendation of the village chief.

My daughter is a simple girl with no special qualities.

I'm sure she's always causing trouble for the lord. ......

　Nao's parents said.

　I wonder if they are being modest.

　They were not very complimentary of their daughter.

"No, no, Nao is doing very well. She's a commander in the unit. Did you see her training earlier?



　So, when I treated her to dinner, I praised her as much as I could.

"My Lord ......

　Nao seemed to be happy.

　I think you should give her more praise since she loves to be praised so much, but parents should not praise their children too much or it will be unnatural.

　Maybe someone with my distance needs to do it for them.

"Well, my lord, let's go.

　And then, when the meal is finished, the family goes out to take a bath.

　Bath: ......

　In the first place, the people of the Far East place great importance on bathing.

　The Far East has a very humid and sweaty climate.

　Especially in the valley villages, water is plentiful, so baths naturally flourished.

　It is said that there is a culture of building a "communal bath" with the joint investment of several families, and that everyone takes a bath almost every day.

　I didn't complain about that, because I like bathing too.

　Zappan: ......

　However, I was a little uncomfortable because the communal baths were "mixed bathing".

　Including Nao's family, there were four families of men and women of all ages rubbing their naked bodies and soaking in the bath.

　Coming from the outside, I still couldn't get used to that feeling, so I had to sit in the bathtub with my shoulders narrowed.

"My lord. My daughter is always at your service.

　Just then, a woman with beautiful shoulders approached me, and I braced myself.

"Um, ......?

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Manaka's mother.

　Ah, Manaka, the maid in the house.

　He's from Tanimura, isn't he?

　Manaka's mother listened to her daughter in the bathtub, and I thought she had a right to be worried and replied that Manaka was doing well, but she was just as talkative as her daughter and didn't want to end the conversation.

　I almost fell over, but the woman finally lifted her body out of the bathtub.

　I was relieved, but just as she was leaving, she turned around and looked at Nao.

"Nao-chan. Good luck.

　Nao blushed and turned her head.

　I'm sorry. ......?

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.


Oh dear, you're in trouble too.

　I called out to Nao as she came home and quickly laid out the futon.

　The girl shook her head and stuck her wet hair to her cheek.

　When the futon was laid out, I slept with Nao.

　Of course, we didn't do what the villagers were expecting us to do, we just discussed the battle strategy of the troops until we fell asleep.
