"Then I'll go. I'll take care of the rest."
"Come on in. Be careful."
Sometimes more time has passed since then.
Our big black pillar, his father, went out of the house as a single assignment.
Why would my father, who is a farmer and has a field, leave the house?
That was because we were driven out to war.
Apparently, there was a rather massive dispute, and many manpower was driven out of the village as well.
A villager who has never spoken much from his relatives' grandmother in the village leaves the village in various ways.
Some of them are quite young boys, but will they fight too?
Ever since I was born into this world, I have wondered how much agricultural technology has been delayed, but that also seems to be the cause of this war.
They leave agriculture alone and go to war.
Busy when sowing and harvesting, otherwise my hands are empty.
And they're repeating the war when that hand's free.
In years when there is no war, the main task will be to open up and increase the area.
The land itself is excessive, and it is possible to make it your own if you work hard to cultivate it.
But it is not something that can be opened only by the power of the individual.
It seemed to expand the area of the field slightly while working together in the village to some extent.
Given this, I'd say my magic is a great thing.
Whatever the case, it is possible to create a new field just by the power of the individual.
Even more fundamentally, the tax is proportional to the area of the land.
The fields cultivated using magic yield more than normal and have a very large advantage because they grow faster.
But there are things that bother me.
That was that everyone in the village who marched was so poorly equipped.
Apparently, the peasants have to leave with their own weapons in their hands if they are summoned.
There was a weapon in my house.
I even saw some villagers go out with farm tools, not weapons.
I wonder if I can fight with something like that.
Sooner or later, I have to be quiet and independent.
I believe that the risk of having trouble eating as a farmer would be small thanks to magic.
But if there is a war, there is absolutely no expectation of the future.
It can be used as a miscellaneous soldier, and it can be thought that our village will become a battlefield or become entangled and lose its place to live.
I've been thinking about that ever since my father went out.
But I don't even think there's enough choice to worry about.
Whatever you think, it will take a certain amount of fighting power.
weapons, and will require a minimum of protective equipment.
I don't want to kill each other as I have memories of my past life, but I have to be prepared.
And what does it take to do that?
Money.
I need money.
That won't be enough, no matter how much.
But I'm speechless.
This is because I'm a child, of course, but there's a fundamental problem.
Because barter is basically predominant in life in the village.
We exchange crops made by each other and eat them.
I've also started making vegetables other than Hatsuka lately, but that doesn't make them money.
Then what?
We'll have to use the pedestrians.
There is not even a flow of gold in this village, where a system of barter has been established.
One of them is a pedestrian who does business while traveling from city to village and from village to city.
Although it has the aspect of being bought for a much cheaper amount than a merchant sells in the city to make a profit, it is nevertheless a valuable means of cash acquisition.
Just now, I'm going to work on the gold measure.
"Right. Maybe we could make some sandals."
"Sandals?"
"That's right. If you bundle up Hatsuka's stems and make footwear, you can buy it."
I talked to my mom about it within that day and it was this answer that came back.
Hatsuka is said to be a crop for the poor, but they didn't actually just eat it.
They can make a lot of things by drying the stems and twisting a few of them together.
It's common to look like a shoe from a grass type to a barrel, and some of them are boot type.
Never comfortable, but I can't even be too stupid.
No sneakers exist in this world.
The presence or absence of footwear can greatly change the speed of travel, as well as lead to foot injury prevention.
Because snow sometimes accumulates in winter, demand for boot types and the like may also exceed supply.
Probably not an efficient one as a goldsmith.
But it is by no means damaging or failing.
Sometimes there are no pedestrians.
I taught him how to knit footwear and kept making products every day.
