After Sigyn's introduction, she was very much satisfied with their reaction, her aunt Hestia looked like she wanted to faint right here and now- oh, she actually fainted while standing.
Then, to her beloved father who was red as tomato, he was too lost of what her little introduction and probably would be in that state for a while, now since she had her fun, it was now time for her to ask her 'dear' elder half-sister on what she was doing while the rest of their siblings wasn't here.
Sigyn's attention was now on her elder sister, who wasn't looking her directly in the eyes. She recognized that look, after all Aria would make that sort of expression whenever she's feeling guilty of something and because of that she is bad at poker.
Too easy to read, with a sigh Sigyn asked. "So, dear sister, do you mind explaining what happened after you arrived?"
Aria forced herself to look stoic, but failed ultimately because of the unhealthy amount of sweat that was forming in her forehead.
"About that…"
She spilled the beans and explained what did after arriving in this timeline, going to the guild, meeting father and Hestia, her mother Aria, telling the high executives of the truth and also her 'identity' as her mother's twin sister.
Sigyn suddenly felt a headache after hearing her sister's explanation, while pinching the bridge of her nose, and says. "What we're the others thinking of letting you go in first…look what happened, this timeline is beyond repair and would divert from our own timeline, while we are expecting this to happen, I can't imagine it would be this soon, and I have to thank you for that dear sister…"
Hearing the sarcastic tone of Sigyn. Aria has the decency to look sheepish.
Sigyn let out a long sigh and finally said. "Either way, this timeline is beyond repairable and it wouldn't be the same with our timeline in the future, I'm not even sure if I'm going to be born in this timeline, or you, but let's hope for the best outcome that this world would at least have some semblance in our own world timeline, the only thing I'm happy about that this won't affect our future at all."
Laying on the couch, the one good thing in this ruined church. Sigyn continued. "The others won't be happy to hear this, remember they won't be as accepting as I am with you, be prepared to be scolded harshly by our other siblings, because I won't help you. After you dig this grave to yourself and you shall lay inside it, you're supposed to be one of the oldest, yet why are you immature ..."
Hearing those dreadful words, Aria becomes a bit pale, after all some of their siblings are somewhat 'extreme' with their scolding.
"W-well, I'm sure they won't be too extreme with their words.." Aria said with confidence, although in the eyes of Sigyn it looked like she was trying to convince herself.
Sigyn snorted and replied. "Sure, let's go with that, so what are you planning to do now?"
Aria stopped her thoughts about the future scolding of her siblings, and straightened herself and answered the demi-god question. "I'd like to find a new house for mommy Hestia and Otou-sama, as you can see this place is.."
"A dump." Sigyn bluntly answered.
"Hey!"
"It's true, you don't need to sugarcoat it, because it's the truth this place is a dump, this place isn't something that father and aunt Hestia should live in…"
Aria found herself agreeing with her statement even though she didn't say it outloud.
"Anyway, let's wait for Otou-sama and mommy Hestia to snap out of it."
"I'm inclined to agree with you."

( Outside Orario )
It's been an hour since the Demi-God introduced herself to the Hestia familia, and even then, the Goddess of hearth was still in shock, as she still couldn't get over the fact that bearing a child is possible for the divine like her!
That news is world shattering for a goddess like her, everyone from her kind knew that it's impossible for them to have children, it's a golden rule that many of the gods are not happy about.
After all, most of them could only imagine what it's like to have a child of their own, a child with their flesh and blood. It's different compared to a familia, as giving falna to their 'childrens' is more akin to a contract rather than a bond of a parent and a child.
So to hear the fact that it's possible for her to bear a child of her own, a family, makes her feel excited and uncertain.
Looking at her 'only' child, she can't believe her Bell was capable of such a feat, that the gods deemed impossible, but regardless he achieved it.
Hestia couldn't help but look at Sigyn, she didn't really notice before but after making a skin contact with her, only then she believed that Sigyn is part divine, enough though it's only half of it.
Sigyn does indeed look like Loki, she could clearly see the resemblance and also her Bell, those ruby eyes there could only be one the entire world, her Bell.
And knowing that her apparent arch-nemesis had a daughter with her makes Bell mad, or more like really annoyed by that very information that Bell slept with Loki with all people!
What was her child thinking when he did that?!
She's also very sad by this information and at the same time hopeful that she too would have her own child with Bell.
It was no secret that she loves Bell, not only because he's the only child of her familia, but also a woman to a man.
Even though she only met him for a short amount of time, she knew him well enough, as Bell was someone who wore his heart on his sleeve.
It was hard not to, after all how could she not fall for someone like him?
The group arrived at their destination, it was a manor, not as big as the Twilight Manor but big enough for dozens of people.
"Hmm..not too fancy or shabby either, this a perfect place to relocate our familia for now." Aria said as she put her fingers between her chin.
"Eh, it's too bad, but I feel like it lacks space.." Sigyn replied as she crossed her arm between her chest.
"True…"
While the two were talking, Hestia and Bell were honestly choking on their conversation, they thought of this place as 'not shabby' and 'lacks space'.
But for the two of them, this was something fancy and massive, especially for Bell who was a farm boy all of his life.
After the two children of Bell finished their conversation, Aria asked her father. "What do you think Otou-sama? Is this a good place for our familia to live? If not, then we can pick another one that's more bigger than this manor."
Hurriedly Bell replied. "N-no! This place is good enough!"
With a smile, Aria replied. "Alright then, let's buy this place!"
And just like that, the Hestia obtained the manor on their own for 5 million valis.
For Aria and Sigyn they were honestly expecting it to be more than 5 million valis, since in their time a manor as big as this may cost over a 20 million valis at minimum, but since this was the past it only made sense, overtime the prices of the lands and raw materials increased.
—
It's been a day since the Hestia familia bought the manor, despite the new place they have, nothing much has changed except for the fact that there's an additional member of their familia, which is Sigyn.
However, despite claiming that she is part of the Hestia familia, she doesn't have the goddess of hearth falna.
Not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't receive any due to her heritage, she was half divine and half mortal, so was bound to be different from the rest.
Sigyn doesn't need falna to get stronger, as her divine blood already took care of that. From the day she was born, she was stronger than the rest of her siblings, except for a few who are also a Demi-God like her.
Either way, although it was a shame that she couldn't receive any falna from her aunts and mother, it wasn't such a big deal, after all compared to the benefits that she received from being a half-god, a falna pales in comparison.
As a demi-god she doesn't need falna to cast magic, which is normally not available for those who don't have divinity in their blood, not to mention she has her mother's domain and can use it without consequences.
Basically she's a god with a mortal body.
And also the dungeon hates her that everytime she enters it would send a juggernaut with the power of a level 9 adventurer.
Which usually isn't a problem because she got her mother's domain, which was really powerful.
So it wasn't a problem for her to visit the dungeon every now and then, however she can't also carelessly go to the dungeon with someone who isn't a first class adventurer.
Which is why she refused her father's invitation to go with him in the dungeon, despite feeling very regretful and bitter about it.
She might not look like it, but she's a daddy girl.
Most children admire their parents and she was no exception.
As much as she wanted to go with her father in the dungeon, since it's been a while she went together with him, alone now with her siblings, it's totally different.
She can't because she can't risk her teenage father, she can't protect him all the time as she's not all-seeing, if she made a terrible mistake. Like killing their father accidentally.
She would never be able to forgive herself nor her siblings.
That's why she would wait until her father is capable of defending himself.
But for now, she shall amuse herself of what this era could offer.
With a mischievous grin, she said. "Now, what should I do…?"
—
At the same time, Aria was in the Twilight Manor training ground to spar with her mother as promised.
"Are you ready..?"
Ais looked stoic outside, but inside she was determined to do her best, and thus the sparring session starts.

A/N: Hello it's been a while since I've updated this fanfic, because of a sudden inspiration I decided to write again, but don't expect the update to be daily, but instead expect once every 2 weeks or a month.
Either way, for those who waited a year for a chapter, sorry, anyway enjoy!
