Performing a full body stretch waking up from the short nap, before sitting on the edge of the bed and looking over to me.
"Yeah time for dinner"
Pulling out the food I'd purchased and placing it on the table, the pair of us dug in heartily to the steak, and veggies on the plates in front of us.
As was common by now the Yggdrasill food was orders of magnitude better than any Terra food I'd come across so far, Kurama seemed extra elated at the steak before him.
With dinner finishing off I decided since it was already dark out, and the materials required for Alchemy were still missing I should turn in for the night.
Heading to the bed and falling into the folds of the blanket, Kurama joined and took a position at the foot of the bed.
"Goodnight"
"ara"

The following morning we awoke and ate some Yggdrasill porridge before I decided to just purchase a Bottomless Water skin from my in game store, setting myself up once again on the couch I pulled up the crafting menu and selected to create as many of the two potions
The morning sun passed through the air as the flurry of movements my hands made intensified until finally I ran out of herbs to process from my inventory.
[Well that sure is strange…]
Staring dumbfounded at my inventory I had used up all of the required herbs and in their place was a vast quantity of both potion types, however what struck me was not their amount, but rather the fact that the newly created potions were in bottles, but the ones I'd purchased were not used to house them.
[So I wasted money after all huh, oh well not like it was a lot and I can always grind them up for crystals later on]
'Clap'
I clapped my hands in front of me before springing to my feet, Kurama similarly did the same bolt to the floor from his place on the bed.
"We should grab some lunch and then head back out to gather more herbs, since I'm out of stock now"
'nod'
Leaving the warehouse behind and heading off in a familiarish direction towards the only other pin on my map, I walked straight to, and then into the guild going over to the job board.
[I'm F rank now which mean I can take up to E rank jobs, but I'm looking for herbs to grind my alchemy skill so I want to pick a job that's going to be based in the forest]
In the end I settled for a pair of F rank herb collections, and a E rank extermination request taking the pamphlets over to the desk I pulled my guild card out and registered.
[The herbs should be easy enough to find thanks to my analyze skill, and Kurama should be able to sniff out the goblins, plus it give me a good chance to turn in more fangs and ears again… though if we kill the gob's I'll wind up with double collection from them again, and the misunderstanding of how many are in the forest will just increase…]
'sigh'
"the wheel never stops turning"
"Oro?"
Tilting his head in confusion
"Let's get going we've got some hunting to do"
While patting Kurama's head
"Ara!"
The pair of us set off, down the main street through the checkpoint at the guard station, then taking off at a sprint to the forests once again.
After 20 minutes we arrived at the verge of the forest once again.
"Kurama can you go into the forest and kite the goblins over to me? If you just go out and defeat them then we won't be able to dispose of the bodies and something worse might happen then drawing out more monsters."
"Ara Ara"
Jolting off at a blinding pace into the depths of the forest
"Well I'd best start my hunt for the herbs while he's off getting the gob's attention."
Walking into the forest the suns only appeared in patches where the canopy above was clear; the entire time I walked my eyes darted left to right, spying out a bunch of various herbs littering the forest floor, which my Herbalism skill must be pointing me to.
Collecting both the plants themselves along with the duplicate drop as I continued to make my way through the forest, the stores of my ingredients grew exponentially.
My walk continued for quite a while until in the distance I heard a loud howl.
"Hmm seems Kurama must be on his way back, I'd better get ready"
Storing away the herbs I had just collected before drawing my twin one handed long swords and taking a stance facing the direction the howled come from.
After only a few minutes of waiting a blaze of orange flashed before my eyes, before skidding to a stop in front of me, doing a quick comical bow before once again launching off up into the tree branches above.
Shortly thereafter a horde of goblin's tore their way through the bushes Kurama, had just emerged from.
This was no mere group, and if it was Kurama had kited numerous parties he'd found until we wound up with the stampede of goblins making their way towards me.
[Huh, uh well I know I said bring me gobs but seriously Kurama, that's too many]
Staring a bit shocked at the army of goblins now charging towards me the lone target in their vision, before me over a hundred goblins screamed, and cried out in anger their eyes bloodshot and foaming at the mouth.
[Uh yeah a bit too much for just me to handle, guess I play my trump card then]
As the goblin were about to enter close combat range I tensed up .
"Summon Rocky" "Summon Creed"
I shouted out my summoning command.
And in doing so brought forth my heavyweights who would view goblins as nothing much more than wack-a-mole targets needing a good pounding into the ground.
