"Hmm, what's going on...."
Every day, the area of the field continues to expand with repeated deforestation.
But it's about time I had another problem.
The larger the area, the more difficult it becomes to move around.
In my previous life, I often used the word "how big a baseball dome is" to describe how wide it is.
Fewer people will know exactly what the dome is.
However, I think it was an interesting phrase that I could not imagine anyway.
And now, the field in front of me is at least as big as I think the number of domes is not enough with one finger.
Should I mess up the forest so much?
I was worried that I had taken a class on environmental destruction in my previous life.
However, when I checked with the village chief, there was no problem.
Because it seems that the area I developed this time was also a village field before.
The old mining boom was over, and they swallowed it up in the woods when the population shrunk.
Besides, the forest itself is much wider.
I was told that I could expand the field even more.
Well, if you do grow a service beast like Valkyrie, you might as well think of it as a ranch rather than a field.
If so, would it be better to have a somewhat larger area?
Having concluded with amateur ideas like that, I decided to continue the development in the future.
But then, walking around is tough.
In such a natural world that there are no street lights, it is not necessarily that unforeseen events such as the inability to return due to some circumstance even if ten thousand people stay overnight do not occur.
Even considering the fatigue and safety aspects, it is probably time to consider the means of travel.
"All right... let's try it on, Valkyrie."
So I decided to try riding on the back of an animal that I had never experienced before.
Speaking of horseback riding, it's still horseback riding.
Valkyrie has a horse-shaped body, except that there are big horns like reindeer.
However, it is slightly different because the hair and legs are longer than the horse's.
However, the tools that can be used on horses are probably still available.
I thought so, but I just stumbled.
Because you can't get horseback saddles or horseback rides in the village.
This is, for example, for a creature that was not in the previous life, the Service Beast.
A service beast born from the same egg with a completely different appearance.
We use such beasts to carry things in this world.
And some of them are like bipedaling reptiles.
Either way, it was common to tie a rope to a service beast and pull the cargo.
Conversely, when riding on the back of a Service Beast, this hits a special case.
We must deliberately order specialists to fit the beast's body, such as saddles.
Naturally, no one with such special skills is in the village.
He wants to ride on Valkyrie's back to get around, and he says, "You can take a truck. What should I do? I was just told.
But it is.
Still, I wanted to learn riding skills from now on.
That's because one day I may be driven into war.
The fact that horsemen are overwhelmingly stronger than infantry is probably common in this world.
At least some of the people who were driven out of our village went to the battlefield with agricultural tools instead of weapons.
I'm sure you can get an overwhelming advantage just by riding the Valkyrie.
As far as the management of the field is concerned, there will be no trouble even if there are cars.
But that doesn't mean you can't ride.
Then I can't help it.
There are no saddles or barrels, but we'll have to try it on.
So I wrapped the rope made with the stems of the hatsuka into Valkyrie's mouth instead of a rope, and climbed on his back.
