Chapter 2 - The Serious Hestia
Hestia has been one busy goddess since she returned to heaven. She had to absorb all of Ais' history and data after Ais' transfer. She had to approved the finance changes suggested by Eina and transferred her children's information to Takemikazuchi and Miach. Furthermore, with all the new magic bestowed on her children, she had to research all the new capabilities and methods of use.
For Hestia, the best part of her work was updating her children and catching up with the gossip. However, for the 1st meeting after she returned to heaven, there was a lot of important items to cover within the 30 minute limit:
1. With Lili, the focus was on the new magic and they barely had any time to talk about the horrific experience of being turned into a plant. She told Lili to work hard on perfecting the magic copy portion of the improved Cinder Ella spell. To save time, Hestia told Lili to get Bell to teach her about her new firebolt spell.
2. With Haruhime, the focus was on determining if reaching level 3 had any impact on advanced Uchide no Kozuchi. She told Haruhime to get advice from Hermes though she should be careful about Hermes' peeking fetish.
3. With Welf, the focus was on the progress Welf made in his smithing skills, particularly the lightning charge that managed to severely damage the Black Dragon. They also briefly discussed the new attack spell Welf gained after leveling. Hestia suggested seeking advice from Hermes and Aisha, since Aisha also uses the Hell Kaios spell that releases a shock wave slash.
4. With Mikoto, the focus was on maximizing the output of the Futsunomitama gravity crushing spell. Hestia also wanted to learn more about how well Futsunomitama worked when combined with Gareth's earth raid. Finally, they also briefly discussed the new defensive spell that Mikoto gained after leveling. Hestia suggested seeking advice from Dionysus and Filvis, since Filvis also uses the Dio Grail spell that creates a circular protective barrier.
5. With the new member Ais, there was not much Hestia could teach Ais. While Hestia was working on Ais' Falna, she thought of Bell, noise-bled and fainted. After Hestia was woken up, Ais and Hestia did talk about the joint-magic casting with Bell and the synchronization. The focus was more about Bell and if Ais felt that he fully recovered from all the injuries. There was also a couple minutes of girls talk before Ais had to take her leave.
6. With Bell, Hestia extracted as much service as she could for the Falna update, but then she got serious about Bell's new defensive spell Hati. Hestia told Bell that he should be relatively immune from magic attacks now since he has both magic resistance and Hati. Finally, she suggested seeking advice from Loki and Bete, since Bete also has the Hati spell and Bete knows how to protect his teammates by absorbing magic attacks using Hati. Hestia also told Bell the services she will expect on their 1 day on the moon together later in the month.
