@ThatRabidPotato If you confirm ryu's entry into the hestia family only volume 19 then it will take a long time. If we know anything by SO 13 . But it would be asking too much
Volume 19 is coming out this year, so not as long as you think.
Honestly i think that it is not worthwile for her to be converted but that does not mean tha Astrea and Hestia aren't allied in fact it seems that in Freya chronicles they are friends alongside Artemis so Astrea will ask that she remain her familia child but live and help the Hestia familia while working at the hostess of fertility.
But hey that is my own tought
Astraea specifically told Ryu to leave the Familia, that's what this post is about. She's 100% guaranteed to join Hestia.
Yeah i know but aside from author final decision at the end maybe Ryuu want to be with Bell while still being an Astrea child i mean Bell's parent where both from different familia so with this, in my opinion, it can work like this but that is me
@ThatRabidPotato Thank you for clarifying my doubts about ryuu.
I actually want to see Bell tell Hestia about Ryuu’s confession to see her reaction.
Your idea has several problems:
The first is that as far as we know Astraea didn't come back to live in Orario so she couldn't be updating Ryuu's status.
The second is that the job at the hostess of fertility is full time, so it would seriously impede the Hestia family from having Ryuu available when necessary.
The third and most important, Bell already left her behind on one occasion, at the end of volume 17 he already had a much higher status than Ryuu and the possibility of becoming level 5, so Ryuu was already weak compared to him and she couldn't continue helping him like before, how did Omori solve it? giving her an unrealistic double level increase, let's not argue if this increase seems good or not, what I want to highlight is that Omori used a great plot convenience to make Ryuu useful again, so what will happen when Bell surpasses her again? Will Omori strengthen her with plot convenience to make her useful once again? it is a possible alternative, but for those of us who don't like the excessive use of plot convenience, it's best if Ryuu keeps getting stronger alongside Bell to help him out for as long as possible and that won't be feasible if she's a waitress most of the time.
For these reasons I think it's best for her to join immediately as soon as volume 19 starts.
Another way for a rapid growth thought not as much as for Bell will be the same kind of training that the Freya familia but it is unlikely that Omori-sensei will do this for people other than Bell or Ais (for SO)
@Tetsuryuu01 Bell has already done exactly that sort of training WITH Ryu. Check out Episode Ryu. Ryu trains harder than Ais does. And now, they'll be in the same familia, so they'll be spending every spare moment they're not in the dungeon beating each other up and getting stronger (while the level 2s all hover horrified in the background).
What do you think?
