If Astraea Familia had never been destroyed by the Juggernaut, effectively removing Ryuu from joining the other waitresses. How do you think the story around Syr, Lunoire, Chloe, and Anya changes? Do Lunoire and Chloe just retire from being assassins? Are they captured by Astraea Familia? What about Anya and Syr?
Assuming a what if timeline similar to the Alfia if. Alfia(and Zard too if he was alive) would probably break Hestia familia if they joined, right? Like wouldn’t the guild make them go to like Loki Familia depths at least? Not to mention the sheer cliff in strength between the top tiers and the rest of Hestia Familia in this instance. What do you think would happen?
I find it really funny and sweet how, even after Bell wakes up from the lap pillows, Ais offers another one. She even did this in LN20, so I hope that Bell will accept the conscious lap pillow offer one day, even if he finds it humiliating, lol.
Had Bell been raised by Alfia and Zard along with Zeus like in the Alfia IF, how different would Bell be? I mean personality wise mostly, as his alternate strength is easier to determine.
I mean in universe. I doubt that Omori will seriously address the subject in the scope of MS or Sword Oratoria but in universe I wonder what the plan will be regarding Bell and Ais? It is said repeatedly that relationships between Familias only cause problems, and Ais herself even says in this panel that children between Familias only cause problems. So I wonder what the solution between Hestia Familia and Loki Familia will be, I highly doubt we’ll see a conversion.
Was just thinking about the upcoming date between Bell and Ais in volume 22 and couldn’t help but laugh at the uphill battle Bell is going to have to face. Considering what happened to him in volume 16 with Syr and Volume 19 with Eina, I imagine that Bell is going to have to basically fight the whole city for his date lol. I wonder how Ais will react to basically everyone trying to interrupt her date with Bell, or at least spy on them. Do you think the Loki Familia might try to shield them like how Freya Familia(Hedin) did in Volume 16?
Assuming that Hestia’s debt wasn’t a problem, who would you all have liked to see join Hestia Familia over the course of the series? Any canon or non-canon characters? I would have liked if Daphne and Cassandra joined, but are there any other characters that could have worked?
I have been doing more thinking on a possible Alfia IF route continuation, and I was wondering what sort of role Zald might play in such a story. Omori has already said that Alfia would survive if she had chosen to stay with Bell to be a final boss for his love interests, but what of Zald? Do you think he'd survive? They both seemed pretty convinced of their fast-approaching demise in the SS stories and in the AR novels.
I am kind of conflicted because, on the one hand, having him survive would be fun and really shift the power balance, especially once he is cured(presumably by Amid) and joins whatever familia Bell ends up in. Also, writing an Alfia IF route in which Zald dies feels kinda half-baked, I guess. But on the other hand, his dying early would put more pressure on Bell, making him work even harder as the possibility of his mother dying becomes more real to him. I could also see Bell maybe using Zald's sword in a scenario in which he dies before Bell makes it to Orario, which could be a fun little token for Bell to carry into the future(along with presumably Afterglow). What do you think? Could Zald have found a way to survive 7 more years until Bell leaves for Orario and creates a space for his mother and Zald to receive treatment in the city?
