Day 11-20/Day 18

Day 18
After finishing morning practice, the three of us came upon some kobolds while out hunting. This time, there were 3 of them, 2 of which were equipped like the earlier 2 with armor and longswords and the third one had a short bow and a quiver for a weapon.
While thinking “Is this the second day in a row to strengthen Gobumi-chan?”, I checked the surroundings for additional enemies in order to make a decision. With it being all clear, I chose to commence the assault.
With the kobold that could attack from a long range using the bow having a higher threat level compared to the others, a sneak attack targeting him with a poisoned stone from Gobumi-chan's staff sling was the decisive action. The poisoned stone hit the kobold right in the eye, which caused him to lose his composure and vision.
Not wanting to waste the chance that the other two kobolds were in a panic, Gobukichi-kun and I moved to defeat the two kobolds wielding longswords that looked slightly better than the ones I carry. My longswords might be worn out, but for my current body, they're just the right size. I've also gotten quite used to my new body, so separating the kobold's head from his body was relatively easy.
The horn I used to kill the kobold we met earlier is like a knife for me now, that's why after I obtained these swords I was able to kill this kobold much easier than the last time. Gobukichi-kun violently broke all of his opponent's bones. It looked a little grotesque.
Gobumi-chan slit the bow-wielding kobold's throat using a pseudo-knife - one of the knives I made using the obsidian-like ore previously - I gave her earlier, giving him the finishing blow. From the looks of it, Gobumi-chan's evolution direction lay in brains and speed. To use weapons cleverly, intelligence is needed after all.
After the fight, we worked hard at dismantling the body. We collected the armors, Gobumi-chan got the short bow and the quiver, and I took the slightly better looking long-swords for myself.
Because there was no suitable loot for Gobukichi-kun, he will have to wait till next time. While these kobolds sadly didn’t have any fire spirit stones, my collection of small waist bags increased by 3. One I kept for my own use, and the other two I gave to the other two for putting medicinal plants inside them. If something were to happen, I’m sure they will be of great use. Each goblin got one body to eat.
I didn’t get any new abilities, however, I felt that with just a bit more, I’d gain something new and the ability that I already had,【Predict】, got slightly stronger.【Predict】lets me see my opponents' attack trajectories as red threads, so in battle it can be incredibly convenient. After this, we hunted whatever we came across before we returned to the cave in order to sleep.
