"Anyway, with this whole thing cleared up... What should we do? I mean, I can't tell Nina, Yuna, and Mira about the system, at least not yet" - I said.
In other words, imagine that I suddenly appear with Hestia and tell them that she has nowhere to go and that she will live with us from now on, well, for starters this is not my house, so I can't decide who can or cannot stay here, second, the girls will bombard Hestia with a lot of questions that we have no answers to.
[I think it's okay if you lie to them a little, but since you don't want to... you don't need to worry because being linked to your soul, Hestia can take refuge in your body whenever she wants]
"Something like a fusion?" – I asked curiously.
[No, it's a special ability that all beast tamers have, they can basically keep their beasts inside their bodies, the bad thing is that she won't be able to communicate with you, she will only be able to hear and see what you say and do, the good thing is that she will be able to go out whenever she wants]
"I see... Hestia, apparently how we have our souls linked, you can go in and out of my body whenever you want" – I said to Hestia.
"Really? What an interesting skill, but how do I do it exactly?" - asked Hestia.
Right, how should I do it, system?
[That's easy too, just tell her to think she wants to get into your body and she will, it's that simple]
"Apparently you just have to think that you want to enter my body and you will enter and I guess to get out it works the same way, anyway, try it" – I said.
"Ok, so then... I want to get into your body" - Hestia said.
Suddenly, Hestia turned into a beam of light that entered my body.
"She really disappeared" - I said, surprised.
[Didn't you believe me?]
"It's not that, it's just that I'm surprised, by the way, where exactly is she going?" – I asked curiously.
I know it's inside my body, but what's inside it?
[She goes to a subspace created within your body where she will have all the comforts she needs and wants, she will have a house according to her tastes, water and food to spare, that is, everything she wants]
"Is there really such a convenient thing? Fuck, she's going to live better than me" - I said with some envy.
How can such a convenient skill exist? I wish I could take refuge.
[Well, it's a predefined skill for all your relatives, but you can also have one, it's just a matter of luck and dedicating yourself to completing missions]
"… Then I'll hold out for the time being" - I nodded.
If I can ever have something like that... Then I'll settle for what I currently have.
But suddenly, the same beam of light came out of my body letting us see Hestia, who seemed to be extremely excited.
"It's incredible, inside your body I have what I always wanted, a huge house with a lot of food and a lot of money, Hahaha, it's amazing, plus there's also a beautiful garden with lots of flowers and some trees, it's my ideal paradise!" – exclaimed Hestia excitedly.
"A lot of money?" – I asked curiously.
[Don't get your hopes up, it's the money of her world and can't be used here, besides, everything contained in that space can only be used there and can't be taken outside with some exceptions that you can't know yet]
"Yes, there's a lot of money! Want some? I don't mind sharing it with you" - Hestia said excitedly.
Now I can't tell you that your money is useless...
"No, don't worry, I have money to spare, just enjoy it yourself" - I said.
"Ok, but if you need anything, just tell me!" – said Hestia.
"Ok" - I nodded.
Then I looked at the clock and realized that there were 30 minutes left until the appointment, so I quickly assigned stat points to my status, let's see, I have 60 stat points right now, let's see... I'll assign 18 points to "Strength" so I have 100 points, then I'll add 10 in "Speed", 20 in "Defense" and now I'm left... 12 points which I will assign to "Intelligence".
[Good choice, do you want to see your current status?]
Yes, I haven't seen it in a while.

[By the way, you can also see Hestia's status if you want]
What, does she have status?
[All your familiars have it, but to see it, you have to tell Hestia to say "Status" out loud]
Ok.
"Hestia, it seems that the system has given you status" - I said.
"Really? Like the ones we gave in Orario to the members of our families?" – asked Hestia curiously.
"Something like that" - I nodded.
"Oh, how do I see it? I'm curious" - Hestia said somewhat impatiently.
"Say the word 'Status' and that's all" - I said.
"Perfect, Status" - said Hestia.
Suddenly, a screen like Haruto's appeared in front of her, which read as follows, as far as I could read:

"Oh, it seems that my entire state has been completely sealed, although it's better than when I was in Orario, now at least I can defend myself" - Hestia said, looking at her state curiously.
"System, what do the numbers in parentheses mean?" – I asked curiously.
[It's her real strength, the strength she would have if she wasn't tied to you, but don't worry, as you get stronger, she will also get stronger until she regains her full power]
"Oh, I see, then the stronger my master becomes, the stronger I will become and the more skills I will be able to use, am I right?" – Hestia asked.
[That's right]
"Wait! Do you listen to the system?!" – I asked in astonishment.
"From the beginning, yes" - Hestia nodded.
[Since the system summoned her, that's right]
"And why didn't you tell me? That way I wouldn't have had to act as an interpreter between the two of you" . I said with a frown.
"Haha, it was kind of funny, don't be angry, master, it was just a joke" – Hestia smiled.
"Okay, I guess it's okay" - I nodded.
It's not too serious a joke either.
"Whatever, could I see the description of her skills? Now I'm curious" - I asked.
There was never any mention in Danmachi of Hestia's abilities, so now that I have them in front of me, I want to know what they are.
[Ok, I'll show you the descriptions of her abilities:
Divine Strengthening (Sealed: 100%): Evolved form of "Physical Strengthening" skill, thanks to this ability, the user's combat power is multiplied x10 times instead of x2.
Hearth Fire (Sealed: 50%): Fire that burns everything in its path, however, Hestia can only use it if someone threatens to destroy everything Hestia deems to be her home.
Protective (Unleveled): If someone or something threatens the home and/or those Hestia considers as family, their status will be immediately doubled to protect them.
Soul Link (Blocked): It's the same as your ability, did you think your familiars couldn't have this ability? Well, you were wrong.
Physical Strengthening: Ability that can double your status in exchange for the use of MP, currently unusable due to the absence of MP.
Limiter (Unleveled): This skill allows Hestia to fully unlock her status as a Goddess and use all of her abilities for 1 minute, however, it has a 4-month cooldown.
Goddess of Home and Family: An exclusive title of Goddess Hestia that has the effect of bringing good luck to those people she considers to be her family and living in a place she considers home.
Ichinose Haruto's Familiar: Title given to Hestia for becoming Ichinose Haruto's familiar.
