Will hestia family have new members in volume 19?
Presumably Ryuu but that's probably going to be it, if anyone joins in this volume that is (maybe Nina but that's just a head canon thought).
I think Nina would join at the end of the arc, if she did at all, so Volume 20 or 21
If HF gets any members from FF, then they'll also be joining in this book.
I had thought that Nina would be too young to leave the school district but she is the same age as Lefiya was when she joined Loki so Nina could join if she develops a very good feeling with Bell and company.
On the other hand, Bell's SS going down to the 37th floor occurs after DM19 and at that time no Freya executive had joined, which makes sense, in the hypothetical case that some of them were to join, it should be when the family Hestia plans to venture into expeditions that require a lot of power, not before then because, what role could they play in a mini family that doesn't venture very deep?
I think if someone from FF will join in the near future it will only be non-combatants like Heith and/or Horn since the role of fighters is covered by Bell and Ryuu for now.
@Leinad91 On the contrary, Nina is older. Lefiya joined LF when she was eleven. Eina and Misha both graduated when they were 14. Nina is actually about the average age to graduate and begin seeking employment in some fashion (because Oomori has all these characters run off into the adult world at absurdly young ages).
The only I can think off is Ryuu but this is questionable at best.
The Hestia family is characterized by its excessive compassion and kindness, in addition its raison d'être is heroism, this means that most of Freya's executives do not fit into it unless they change, since they lack such virtues.
But the main problem with them is rather argumentative, the story will not develop well if Bell surrounds himself with characters stronger than him who can solve everything for him, that's why receiving someone like Ottar, yes, it could fit with the family philosophy, but it would only bring problems for the development of the plot, that's why I think that such a union will be ruled out outright.
But if we analyze it from the girls' side, I don't see a big problem, because in the end it would be the same thing that Omori has already been doing, surrounding him with weak girls in love with him whom he must protect. Heith, Horn and surely Nina fit this profile, so their union would not be a problem since in the end it would not significantly change things, it would be more of the same!
As for Ryuu, she already seems to be a member of the Hestia family since she has been acting as if she were for a long series of volumes, having said that, I recognize that her union will be problematic, but not because of the plot but because of the fandom, I am already imagining the team Ryuu going crazy when she became an official member. I have the surely vain hope that Omori will know how to handle it well.
I personally desire for Ryuu to join because unlike the others she can keep up with Bell and the lady has a ton of experience on battles and the dungeon itself.
If the information @AP24 is putting up on the character pages is correct (likely from the preview), then Ryu has finally officially joined, but she's the only new one.
