It is now the next day after I made a promise with Karin to do a quest with her on Saturday. Only 3 days are left before the meeting and I am still lvl 2 , So me and Mac decided to do some subjugation quest.We are going towards the Southern forest today which is opposite of the one where we went last time. The Northern forest was more of a grassland than forest , the trees there had so much spacing between them and we could see quite a distance away. The Southern forest is more dense and the foliage is also big so it is hard to spot monsters . Luckily Rin-chan would inform us if someone was approaching us. The monsters in southern forest feel more powerful too. We were having trouble fighting the horned rabbit as it was quite agile and if it felt it wouldn't be able to win. It would just flee away , We also found a black horned rabbit which reduced my hp to half in one attack but gave almost 3 times the XP, I was able to level up to almost lvl 5 and Mac to almost lvl 6. He also got [Novice SwordsMan ] job which he managed to get to lvl 2 . He also got (Dual Sword Slash lvl 1) by the end and it was quite powerful . Although It was not a AOE skill Its range was bigger than normal slashes and the damage was almost twice. I also got [Novice Warrior ] as a job but I couldn't level it up . So I only had normal (Slash) skill. I did get quite a bit of XP in [Novice Tamer] job and was almost level 2 thanks to Rin-chan.
I decided to make some skewers from the rabbit meat and sprinkled some seasoned it with condiments I had. When I made skewers from Black Rabbit meat I raised my (Cooking) skill level to level 3 and the [Novice cook lvl 2] I got a benefit from the job which would give us a temporary bonus for 10 mins after eating the food I made. I immediately tried cooking again and the skewers gave Small Agility boost. So I made the skewers from half the amount we hunted. Mac complained that the amount was too much and we would lose money if don't sell the meat in the guild. Rin-chan made a astonished face when she heard that we were going to sell the rest of meat So I gave her one of my skewers to cheer up. After eating 3 of my skewers she said "Puruuru" as if to say It can't be helped and hoped on top of my head. I would ask her to stay a bit far away from us So she won't get any monster aggro. Next we decided to go a bit further inside the forest. What we were doing was just hunting on the outskirts of forest but we decided to check it out a bit more for tomorrow.I gathered some fruits from the tree to make juice or jam from them.We also encountered some new types of monster like goblins,baby boars and kobolds. We saw a group of 5 goblins fight a kobold but it was almost a equal fight after kobold killed a goblin we decided to join in too and defeated them. Mac took the aggro from 3 goblins and I decided to fight Kobold Rin-chan also glowed and jumped on the last remaining goblin and was first one to defeat between us 3. There is no edible meet we could get from goblins and kobold so we just took the subjugation proof and I collected fangs from kobolds. I got (dismantling lvl1) skill earlier So i could do it easily. The forest monsters would eat the corpses so we didn't need to dispose of the bodies but if we subjugated a very large numbers of monster it was recommended to dispose the corpses. I was playing in normal settings but people could enable auto dismantling feature but that was wasteful as it would give random parts after clicking dismantle. I too turned down the gore settings so it was not too bad of an experience It almost felt like dismantling a animal. Mac was not good with this stuff so he would keep a look out with rin-chan while I was dismantling. We decided to call it a day and were on our way back when we surrounded by around 15 kobolds. It might have been because we had blood smell or we were near their hideout but we couldn't defeat them all. So I passed the skewers with agility boost to Mac and picked up RIn-chan and decided to run from them. Even after the boost we were only a slightly faster than them and we were running out of boost time. So I shouted.

"Mac we can't outrun them we should split up."-Shane
"Huff-huff yeah i don't have much stamina left in me I would go towards left from that big tree you go towards right"-Mac
"Yes, here take this last skewer with you."-Shane
I took the right from the tree and moved towards the trees in order to slow them. When I looked behind me around 8 kobolds were still chasing me. So decided to run without looking back.I don't think we could survive this but I don't want to die with rin-chan so i tried making as many obstacles as I could. My boost was about to run out. So I took out the remaining skewers I had on me which didn't have the boost to Rin-chan. She told me it was okay and we can make it. Just as I decided to try my best and fight the remaining ones left I heard the sound of tree falling and my XP going up.It must be my lucky day. As I was still breathing heavily I decided to stop and fend off the remaining ones.As the dust settled down I saw corpses of kobolds. I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down near a tree and when I looked at Rin-Chan she was still cautious so I got a bit nervous and them it appeared infront of me. Grey hair and sharp claws and fangs and The sound of it growling felt like a roar. There was a silvery wolf in front of me. It leaped and in order to protect Rin-chan I covered her up and curled up.
