The day after the euphoric celebration, the city of Orario begins to return to its normal routine, but people only talked about yesterday's event as the day began in Orario. Hestia is in her new mansion — previously owned by the Apollo Family and now a symbol of her family's newly acquired success and power with the war game.

With a pen and parchment in hand, Hestia is busy inventorying the rewards acquired from the victory in the War Game. The Apollo mansion, now hers, is just the beginning. The equally imposing and valuable Heimdall mansion has also come into her hands, along with the treasures and assets accumulated by both families. When adding it all up, the amount reaches an impressive 30 million valis — a fortune that will provide her family with better resources in the future.

But the most significant prize for Hestia isn't measured in gold or properties. As part of the conditions established by Lucius before the War Game, Cassandra and even Daphne, valued members of the Apollo Family, are destined to join the Hestia Family. Hestia feels a mix of satisfaction and responsibility when thinking about these new additions. "Cassandra, Daphne, you will be welcomed here," she murmurs, thinking about how to help them transition and ensure they feel part of her family.

As she reflects on the recent events and the future, the door opens, and Cassandra enters, her expression a mix of nervousness and hope. Hestia stands up, welcoming her with a warm smile. "Cassandra-kun, come in. I will be your new goddess, it's time to put my falna on you."

Cassandra, still adjusting to the sudden change in her life, responds with a soft voice, "Thank you, Lady Hestia. I... I don't know what to say."

Hestia approaches, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You don't need to say anything. We know it's been hard for you, but here, you are one of us. We will take care of you."

Daphne, who hesitated at the entrance, finally steps forward, preparing to take off her shirt and receive the blood of her new goddess. "Thank you, Lady Hestia."

Hestia smiles and looks at Daphne. "You too, Daphne, you are part of this family now, be welcomed!"

"Thank you, Hestia-Sama." Daphne nodded.

After applying the new falnas to the two new intriguing members of the family, the day progresses. There's much to be done with all the new properties, but with the newly acquired resources and support, the Hestia Family is stronger and more united than ever. After resolving the financial issues and welcoming the new members, Hestia decides to temporarily settle with the family in the Heimdall mansion, a place that, despite its qualities, doesn't completely match her preferences. She has in mind the Apollo mansion, a larger and more imposing space, which, with some modifications, could become the perfect location for the family, but the place was heavily damaged by Lucius when he attacked the Apollo family one day after the banquet, causing great confusion.

The Apollo mansion also carries with it the extravagant marks of its former owner. Every corner is filled with statues and images of the god Apollo, creating an environment that feels more like a shrine than a house. Lucius, determined to make the space something of his and his family's, decides that it's time for a radical change.

Joining him, members of the Hestia Family arm themselves with brooms, cloths, and buckets, ready for a major clean-up to tidy up the place while members of a construction company would make repairs to the damaged structure. However, Lucius has faster and more efficient plans in mind. With a focused look, he summons his time magic, an ability that allows him to manipulate objects with precision and ease trapped in his spheres.
