"Right here?

"Yes!"

An hour after I decided to return home.

Yu, carrying Tifa and hanging a large amount of luggage on both arms, stood down in a position where the gate of the village of Tortia, home of Tifa, could be seen.

For this reason, the distance between the village of Tortia and Alto is just over a kilometre in a straight line distance if the closest city wall. Even from the nearest gate there are five kilometers or not if it's a straight distance, close enough to walk normally without forests and hills.

So if you fly away, you will arrive in about ten seconds, but because Yu served Tifa in what mood, it may take you about enough to land in your current position.

"I thought when I saw it from the sky, it's a pretty big village."

"Yes, I think the farmland was huge and the buildings were definitely about a hundred"

"Hmm. Based on the fact that Tifa's home is a bakery, there will be bureaux, lodging, shops, warehouses, etc., so in terms of the number of households, about 80 to 90 households, etc."

"Sure, I think that's how many shops and households there were"

Yuu turns around that way regarding the size of the village while bringing Tifa down to the ground.

The village of Tortia, the birthplace of Tifa, has also been blessed with water and agricultural land, which has been successfully scaled up. As a result, it was nearly large enough to be called a town.

Most of all, no matter how big, at the moment, it's basically just rural.

As can be seen from the small number of buses, there are no tourist resources such as this.

Even if it's an inn, there's only one small place for merchants and officials to stay on the way home to or from the numerous countryside that lies ahead of Tortia Village along the street.

For once, the Inn also serves as an adventurer's liquor store, with about ten adventurers based in this village, but they already have a house and are not based in the Inn like the Yus.

Using a smaller number of buses is about an adventurer or an official heading to Alto for equipment maintenance, etc., and later a human being who, like Tifa, was forced to leave the village under some circumstances.

Moreover, the majority of them are given a lift to Alto by car in the village, so the demand for buses is only when they return from Alto to the village.

"What kind of crops does this village make?

"Eh, I'm actually not very familiar with it because I do very little farming with all the baking help in the house. However, it's wheat that always helps us harvest, so I think maybe the main crop is wheat."

"Hmm. Well, on this scale, wheat would normally be the top priority"

Yu concludes so with Tifa's reply, convinced that would be the case.

In fact, even when it comes to rural areas, when it comes to a size where shops, like the village of Tortia, are not concurrent farmers, it also usually comes out that children who only farm about the time of harvest give priority to helping their families.

The bakery, Tifa's home in particular, is deceiving all the bread eaten in the village.

When it comes to baking a number every day that satisfies a hundred households, naturally, that's all you need for a family outing.

Besides, where I made it farm work, it's still basically over ten years old that can be the main help for kids.

Before leaving the village, Tifa, who was a critical five-year-old, only helped lightly, at best, by carrying pruned wheat and picking up grasshoppers.

It would also be natural, in some ways, for Tifa not to be familiar with agriculture.

"Now, what's the long story here? Can you show me around?

"Yes!"

Tifa guides you in a delightfully light foothold as to whether you have something to heart in your first home town in three years.

After that, Yu follows at a constant distance.

I approached the entrance to the village of Tortia, but there was no observation because it was rural.

"... there doesn't seem to be anyone at the entrance..."

"Eh, they also added an alert junction when they expanded their farmland, and it looks like they stopped putting too many street watches aside from the monster breeding season"

"... I don't know, but you're careless."

To the too lazy village security system Tifa talked about, Yu flaunts his face.

If it is true that the location of the village of Tortia requires little vigilance on the part of the bandits.

Even for monsters, along the streets are periodically exterminated by the standing army and adventurers, and the point of occurrence of monsters that, thanks to the forest and the streets, constitute a threat to the village can be almost identified. So even if we do guard, we can't say that the logic is wrong that we should always focus on where monsters can occur.

but just as pointless to be wary of demons in a village of this size, there are any exceptions to the level that you can deal with if you stay wary.

If there is a crisis with Crombird and the whole herd, it will jump out of the territory, and not necessarily a monster driven away by that Crombird will attack the village.

The possibility also normally exists that a single criminal enters the village from the street on foot and does whatever he wants before the alarm goes off.

I've seen settlements devastated in various patterns during the Knights of the Iron Wall, and I'm not worried that the hole in my hand is about my eyes, and as a Yu, I'm not worried about my carelessness.

(... well, I was just worried, there's nothing I can do)

In the end, Yu concludes so with regard to the security system in the village of Tortia.

Whatever Tifa is, Yu is an outsider, so he's only another HR wherever he goes.

"Um, so where do we go from here?

Tifa looks back and asks Yu as she walks a little past the fence at the entrance, holding the feeling of diving through the junction.

In response to Tifa's question, Yu immediately said his request without even having to think about it.

"In the meantime, take me to Tifa's home first"

"Yes!"

Tifa listens to Yu's request and goes vigorously down the path she was able to walk.

As he walks behind it, Yu observes the subtle left and right agricultural lands.
