Hestia Familia arrives at the Ganesha Familia estate and finds out that the place is under a massive statue, or more specifically, under the statue's groin. Even Caster gets weirded out when he sees it.
When Brynhildr sees this, the Ganesha Familia members beg her in embarrassment not to say any more.
We all know Hestia does not like any girl nearing her precious Bell. However, when pointed out to her that her new Familia members are male, she realizes this is bad news, for her anyway, as it'll ruin her status as a Virgin Goddess. So, she has to ask Bell to summon female Servants. Imagine how hard it must have been for her to muster the power to say that line to him.
And when another male Servant is summoned, this little gem happens.
Hestia: You summoned another one!? [runs over to Bell to shake him] I thought I told you that I can't be surrounding myself with men all the time! Bell: I'm sorry! It's not like I can choose who answers! Hestia: That's no excuse! Wait…are you hiding something, Bell? Don't tell me you're actually interested in- Bell: PLEASE DO NOT FINISH THAT SENTENCE, GODDESS!
For some reason, a few of Bell's Servants (Sigurd, Brynhildr, and Boudica) either thinks Syr is Bell's lover or ships her with him.
Sigurd and Bryhildr's Sickeningly Sweethearts moments. In a later part of Brynhildr's debut chapter, people, both gods and humans, are seething with jealously at this. This description summarizes it perfectly:
Hestia was not jealous. Not one bit jealous. She had no deep-seated wishes of being able to do the same thing with Bell. No sir. Not at all. She was not like those gods over there hiding behind the corner crying out tears of blood or that human biting her handkerchief in jealousy.
Saber unashamedly proclaims during his fight with Phryne that his strength comes from The Power of Love.
"HOOOOOOOOWWW!?" The massive armored Amazon demanded. "HOOOOWW CAN YOU BE SO STRONG!?" "Of course, this is the power of love," Saber replied in his usual serious voice, causing the people nearby to stop fighting and stare. "A wife's love for her husband gives him more strength than what someone who only loves themselves can muster." Ais turned her head toward Archer who quickly held up his hands and took a few steps away from Saber, trying to say that he had nothing to do with the lovestruck idiot.
Kid Gil takes out Bete with a stink bomb. Everyone else is disgusted as the smell spreads to them. Kid Gil starts gloating, but then the smell spreads to him too, causing him to gag and retreat.
Lily demonstrates her Cinder Ella spell for Emma by turning into Bell and saying "Big Sis Hestia!" to the goddess. This results in Hestia falling down with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Caster: To bring down a goddess so easily. What a frightening power.
"Runaway Dawn" and "Radiant Hero" are hilarity gold that you have to read it yourself. Words are not enough to describe every detail of it.
Upon learning that some Apollo Familia members are within their doorsteps, Brynhildr attempts to attack them, only for her husband and Archer to stop her. It's a good thing too because she has just melted the gates with her fire magic and one of the Apollo Familia, Cassandra, is scared out of her wits.
A side effect of Freya being an incredibly pretty Love Goddess is that she charms any mortal who looks at her, intentionally or otherwise. This means that she can ensnare almost any man who looks at her.... and also means that any time she asks for feedback on new clothes she wants to buy, everyone responds with a synonym of "beautiful", which isn't actually helpful and annoys Freya.
It's revealed that the reason she likes Hestia so much is because Hestia is both immune to her charms, and willing to talk to her straightly, especially when clothes shopping. Even Ottarl can't resist calling everything she wears "beautiful", despite Freya once threatening to go to a public event wearing nothing but a sheer, lacy-negligee that would barely cover anything unless Ottarl gave her actual feedback. According to Hestia, he tried very hard but still failed.
Gina is in the Dungeon trying to avoid Jack, as part of her training for the War Games, when a group of imps show up to attack her. After slaughtering them all into pieces, Jack shows up and sees the carnage:
Jack: Gina is scary. Gina:You of all people don’t get to say that to me!
Tiona having a huge squee after seeing Archer's biceps. Apparently, the Kali Familia at Melen agrees with her as well, much to Kali's dismay.
When the War Game begins, they tell Primo to blow a horn to start their charge. She tries to, but fails to make it sound and runs out of breath.
After the first battle in the War Game, the Apollo Familia are now on high alert and are extremely paranoid about what their enemies are doing. What are they doing? Having a cooking show.
The entire chase scene between Jack and Luan with Lily and Gina coming along for the ride. The end bit is great too.
Bell: It's Luan, right? Are you okay? Luan: Y-Yeah? Bell: Good. [casually backhands him across the yard]
The climactic end to the War Game. Bell is ready to deliver a badass speech and proudly announce the name of his Familia to the whole wide world...only for Emma to ruin it by smashing a potion bottle on Hyacinthus' head.
When Gina wakes up after her injury to find Welf taking care of her, he tells her to think of him as her big brother. She teases him by calling him "Onii-chan", which almost makes him have a heart attack from her cuteness.
Welf: W-what was that? Gina: It's something I learned from the Gods who came to Orario from the Far East. They said it's a magic spell that little girls could say to older boys to make them weak. Welf: No one should have this power…
A really irritated Caster rewards Gina, Primo, and Jack for their part in the War Game with some really good muffins. When they take them and leave, Caster tells Rider he did what she asked and she promises to stop sneaking hot peppers into his food.
When Mord reveals that he was able to enter The Golden City because he has spent an obscene amount of money gambling, Caster asks that they not diminish this achievement, implying that's how he himself got invited to The Golden City.
Caster teaches Bell how to play roulette by making multiple bets in one game. Predictably, all of Caster's bets end up being winners, stunning all the observers.
When Hestia opens her hotel, she insists all the employees wear a blue ribbon like hers. The men simply wear it like a sash, but the women imitate Hestia's "boob ribbon".
Syr and some of her friends try to sell some food and snacks that was cooked/baked by the former. It's all pitch black and implied to taste horrible.
Kid Gil and a disguised Lily take the orphans to get food from Hestia Familia's food stand. Gina doesn't realize who he is, but Archer and Rider do.
Back at the inn, Gina was looking back and forth between the two Servants as they stared incredulously at the group of children in front of stand being led by a blonde haired boy. “Hello,” the boy said in a melodious sounding voice that made Gina’s heart skip a beat. “Can we have ten orders of each item?” “…What on earth on you doing?” Rider asked, causing the boy to tilt his head to the side in confusion. “Hmm? Ordering for my playmates.” Rider stared at the boy again for a minute before turning toward Archer, seeking help. However, the man simply closed his eyes and offered no answers.
The sight of Kid Gil acting so different from how he normally acts causes Rider to pound her head against the pole of the food stand and Archer to massage his eyes with his hand.
Saber feels absolutely no shame in using his dragon lungs to shout incredibly loud for his wife in a beauty contest.
Caster gets irritated when he realizes he spent a whole night thinking of nothing but Ishtar.
When Fels reveals he is a skeleton, Lancer is amazed that he found a way to live on after death. Fels snarks that he would have preferred her way (being a Heroic Spirit).
When Hestia Familia meets the Xenos, one of them, a unicorn, walks up to Primo. Despite being frightened, she eventually pets it. Bell asks Lancer and Rider why they didn't help her out, and they say it's because they aren't pure maidens. Bell is confused for a few seconds before it sinks in and he becomes embarrassed.
Caster reveals to Ninsun that he was given an invitation by Ishtar, and that he rejected it. How he rejected it makes it even funnier. She then starts berating him for his recklessness as if she were actually his literal mother.
Caster: (in response to being told that Ishtar is Not Good with Rejection) Of that I am aware. Which is why I rejected her completely and utterly via courier of the highest order. If I am lucky, the messenger will be shot as well. Ninsun: Look, I know Hermes is a bit of an ass, but that’s no reason to send him to his death. How did you reject her anyway? Caster: I wrote out a rather…extensive list of her faults and failures. Before capping it by saying if I were the type to lay with a goddess, I would not settle for a second rate one like her. Ninsun: Please tell me you didn’t say who is ‘first’ then? Caster: But of course. Goddess Freya. [Ninsun's head drops onto the table]
When asked why he's antagonizing one of the strongest Familias in Orario, Caster responds with: “Because it amuses me.” This causes Ninsun to Face Palm.
Archer hosts a cooking class. When he tells them to beat the eggs, Tiona and another student immediately start punching the eggs, making a mess. They get embarrassed when they are told to use a whisk.
After Valletta Grede appears before Loki Familia and expresses her hatred for Finn, Bete takes a moment to throw some shade at Tione.
Bete: …Hey Finn, you got some disease that attracts crazy broads or something? Tione: I heard that!
Kid Gil has some fun in telling the story of the Danmachi version of himself to the orphans. After he's done, Archer lampshades him secretly enjoying his self-aggrandizement.
Archer: …You have no shame whatsoever, do you? Kid Gil: Hahaha, it was not I who requested that story be read. Archer: But you enjoyed it far too much. Kid Gil: I won’t deny that.
Berserker and Asterius' duel is interrupted by monsters, so they team up to take them on. The monsters have acidic blood that starts to melt Asterius' weapons, but Berserker's are unaffected. Asterius is about to ask to borrow one, but Berserker immediately glares at him, causing Asterius to call Berserker stingy.
Caster and Gareth fight side by side against the Juggernauts and Caster changes into the golden armor of his Archer form. Gareth comments that the armor looks really impractical and heavy. Caster retorts that his armor is a masterpiece, but sheepishly admits that yes, it is very heavy.
Saber reports that he saw Emma's sister Sophia with Evilus. Everyone else understands that she was working for them, but Bell mistakenly believes she is a prisoner. Caster basically does a Face Palm at Bell's naivete.
In Chapter 56, Syr asks Bell what he would say if the Goddess Freya confessed her love to him. Bell's response is that he would reject her immediately. Syr nearly has a heart attack from the speed of Bell's response.
Loki gets Ais, Tiona, and Lefiya to dress up as prostitutes to sneak into the Pleasure District to help Bell.
In order to hide from Ishtar Familia, Syr convinces Bell to crossdress.
Assassin notes that Syr has a Nosebleed while Bell is changing.
Omakes
In an April Fools omake, Lily gives Caster a massage. Hestia approaches the room, mistakes his moans for something else, and beats a hasty retreat.
