"And that's how you make stamina potions," Ken told me.
"Uh... okay. We'll do that then. So, it's just a handful of grass and blood? I don't think I would ever try that without being told... so, what's the reason for that?" I asked Ken.
We walked into the field, full of grass that blew in the wind back and forth.
Without New Olympia to ruin the surroundings, the world seemed... brighter... and better, if we're being honest.
I pulled a handful of grass out of the ground and cut my finger again, combining it into a jar that turned into a Stamina Potion. Of course, the stamina potion was of the highest quality and set itself into my inventory.
I filled jars with my blood until the wound stopped leaking, moving to various spots to tear more grass out.
The field was filled with flowers for health potions, and blue flowers as well that I hadn't seen before. When I asked Ken what they were, he told me they were mana potions. So, I grabbed a few for the road. Wherever that might be.
I don't know what the plan is anymore. But, as soon as I get done making these potions, I would ask him about Pretorian History.
It seems to be a locked-away fact, as nobody knows about that city except for Ken. Sometimes, I forgot that he came from a place like that. As he showed off in the Zeus fight, he had a ton of latent strength, but what else was he hiding? What about the history of Pretoria was so vulgar that nobody knew about it?
I made about twenty-five more stamina potions, saving one for myself, and I went back to where Teru and I first had our conversation. To my surprise, Fuki was there, handing his weapon over to him, and then looking toward me.
"You're still here? Good to see you again, Fuki." I told him. He nodded, saying the same thing to me.
"I'm not going anywhere for a while. I'll help them rebuild some of New Olympia, and be on my way again. Maybe back to Sieve. Before I was teleported, they were rebuilding Hecate. This world is slowly healing, isn't it?" Fuki said, taking a deep breath in as the wind blew again.
"I wouldn't call Sieve exactly healing Hecate, but yeah. These places are being rebuilt. It's nice to help out. Thank you for doing that, Fuki." I told him.
"Please! This is what I want to do. I don't feel obligated, even if we did destroy the city... so, what was that meeting about? I saw you move into that portal with Amaterasu, or whatever her name was. What did she want?" He asked me.
"Ama turned me into a Patriarch. A person of the same ranking as Zeus. Isn't that surprising?" I asked him.
"Anima the Patriarch... it has sort of a nice ring to it. Did you... like... sign a paper or something...?" He asked me again. Fuki leaned against the wooden railing right next to Teru, and I laughed at his question... until I realized that I did.
"Yes... but, now I have to join every meeting Ama calls no matter where I am. It's sort of annoying, but my stats were enhanced a ton. I can't complain." I told him.
"Nice job... well, how do we start here, Teru?" Fuki asked him.
"Gathering lumber, but it's kind of boring, so we're going to make other people do it," Teru said. I turned to look at the fallen trees behind the small wooden deck, thinking about Zeus's death again.
…
Wasn't I the only one who knew how to use the air element?
I didn't even know how to use it... and I don't think Zeus really did either. But, what else can I do with it?
I walked over to one of the fallen trees and used [Dismanip] on one of them, raising it off of the ground by three feet.
"Insane... this doesn't weigh anything to me. I wonder how much I could move." I muttered to myself.
I carried a log over and dropped it in front of Teru and Fuki. They were both surprised, and I even made Fuki jump from leaning on the railing.
"I thought I could help as well. I don't know many people who know how to use the air element anymore..." I said to them.
"You make a good point. Normal people don't usually think of that stuff, but I think you might be the last person to learn skills from the air element. I'm sure you're not the last, but you're certainly the newest student here." Fuki told me.
"What do you need over here? I'll bring over anything. I have a huge mana reserve now." I told them. Teru directed me to move over a bunch of logs to turn into lumber and wooden planks for the infrastructure of New Olympia, or whatever we decide to name it.
"Say, what's the name of this new city we're building? I assume we're not naming it the same thing?" I asked Teru.
"We don't really have a leader, but I'm happy I get to decide in place of him... how about... something to do with your names?" Teru proposed. I looked over to Fuki and nodded.
"What were you thinking? Or, were you asking for ideas?" I turned to Teru again and Shima moved down to my shoulder, opening her mouth, which was the biggest mistake in a while.
"Fukinima!" She shouted out.
Huh...
"Fukinima? That sounds... weird..." I said, putting my finger to my lip and curling it.
"I think it's great! Your Slime knows what she's talking about! Also, how long has she been there for?" Fuki asked me. Everybody ignored him and we turned back to Teru, who was still comprehending the name.
"Fukinima actually doesn't sound too bad! It's decided, we'll rename New Olympia to Fukinima, because of the two Heroes who destroyed it while taking down a tyrant!" Teru declared.
