Chapter 57

I stood on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by hundreds of Minions. They were all dressed in the same familiar blue denim overalls, black gloves, boots, and goggles as my companions Bob, Kevin, and Stuart. Excitement bubbled within me as I gazed upon this army of loyal followers.

"Alright, Minions!" I called out, my voice brimming with enthusiasm. "Are you ready to join the Hestia Familia?"

The Minions erupted in a chorus of cheers, their voices a joyful cacophony. I couldn't help but grin, knowing that with this group by my side, the possibilities were endless.

"Then let's head home!" I exclaimed, opening a shimmering portal to the Hestia Headquarters.

As we stepped through the portal, the Minions' eyes widened in awe at the grandeur of our new headquarters. They gazed around in wonder, taking in every detail of the magnificent building.

"Welcome to the Hestia Familia headquarters, Minions!" I announced, gesturing proudly. "This is where we'll be calling home from now on."

Just then, Hestia and Lunamon emerged from the building, their expressions a mix of surprise and delight.

"David-kun, you're back!" Hestia exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. "And you've brought... guests?"

I chuckled, placing a hand on Hestia's shoulder. "Hestia, Lunamon, meet the Minions. They're going to be joining our Familia from now on."

The Minions erupted in a chorus of excited chatter, their eyes fixed on Hestia and Lunamon. Hestia's face lit up with joy as she took in the sight of the adorable creatures.

"Oh, they're so cute!" she gushed, immediately embracing the nearest Minion, who squealed in delight.

Lunamon approached cautiously, her eyes wide with wonder. "They're... different from any Digimon I've seen before," she mused, tilting her head to the side.

I nodded, placing a hand on Lunamon's shoulder. "That's because they're not Digimon, Lunamon. They're Minions, and they're going to be a valuable part of our Familia."

Hestia released the Minion from her hug, her gaze filled with affection. "Well, welcome to the Hestia Familia, little ones!" she exclaimed, her voice warm and inviting.

The Minions erupted in a chorus of excited chatter, their eyes fixed on Hestia. I couldn't help but smile, knowing that they had found their new home.

"Minions, I want you to meet Hestia," I said, gesturing to the petite goddess. "She's the patron deity of our Familia, and she's the true boss you'll be serving."

The Minions immediately turned their attention to Hestia, their eyes shining with adoration. As one, they began chanting, "Hestia! Hestia! Hestia!"

Hestia's face lit up with delight, and she eagerly embraced the nearest Minion, cuddling it close. "Oh, you're all so adorable!" she cooed, her laughter filling the air.

Lunamon approached the Minions cautiously, her gaze filled with curiosity. "They're quite different from the Digimon I'm used to," she murmured, reaching out to gently touch one of the Minions.

I placed a hand on Lunamon's shoulder, giving her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Lunamon. The Minions are going to be a valuable part of our Familia. They may be different, but I know they'll fit right in."

Hestia released the Minion from her embrace, her eyes sparkling with joy. "Welcome to the Hestia Familia, little ones!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with warmth. "I can't wait to get to know all of you."

The Minions erupted in a chorus of excited chatter, their voices blending together in a joyful cacophony. I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride, knowing that I had found the perfect companions to join our Familia.

As Hestia and Lunamon continued to interact with the Minions, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement for the future.

I could see the concern etched on Hestia's face as she surveyed the sea of Minions before us. She turned to me, her brow furrowed. "David-kun, should I give each of these Minions my Falna? I'm not sure I have enough blood to bless them all."

I placed a reassuring hand on Hestia's shoulder. "Don't worry, Hestia. You don't need to give them all Falna. Most of the Minions are here to help take care of the headquarters and run errands. We only need to bless a few select Minions to aid us in the Dungeon."

Hestia's expression softened, and she nodded in understanding. "I see. That makes sense. But which ones should I choose?"

I glanced over at the Minions, who were already exploring every nook and cranny of our headquarters, their excitement palpable. "Let's start with Kevin, Bob, and Stuart," I suggested. "They've proven themselves to be reliable and capable. I think they'll make a great addition to our Familia."

Hestia's face lit up with a smile. "Alright, then. Let's get them blessed and ready to join us!"

I turned to the Minions, who had gathered around us, their eyes filled with anticipation. "Kevin, Bob, Stuart," I called out, "come forward."

The three Minions eagerly stepped up, their bodies practically vibrating with excitement. Hestia approached them, her divine aura emanating from her petite form.

"Kevin, Bob, Stuart," Hestia began, her voice warm and soothing. "I, Hestia, Goddess of the Hearth, hereby bless you with Falna. May your strength and courage grow, and may you always be a loyal part of the Hestia Familia."

As Hestia spoke, a faint glow surrounded the three Minions, and I could see the Falna imprinting itself on their backs. Kevin, Bob, and Stuart stood in awe, their eyes wide with wonder.

"Wow..." Bob breathed, his voice filled with reverence.

"This is amazing!" Kevin exclaimed, his body practically bouncing with energy.

Stuart, ever the cool one, simply nodded, a small smile playing on his lips.

Hestia stepped back, her eyes shining with pride. "Welcome to the Hestia Familia, my children. I know you will all do great things."

The other Minions erupted in a chorus of cheers and applause, their voices echoing through the halls of our headquarters. I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the prospect of having these loyal and capable Minions as part of our Familia.

"Alright, Minions!" I called out, my voice cutting through the din. "Now that you're officially part of the Hestia Familia, it's time to get to work. We've got a lot of preparations to make, and I need all of you to pitch in."

The Minions immediately fell silent, their attention focused on me. I couldn't help but feel a sense of power in that moment, knowing that I had an army of devoted followers at my command.

"First, we need to make sure our headquarters is in top shape," I continued, my gaze sweeping over the Minions. "I want some of you to start cleaning and organizing every inch of this place. Others, I need you to start stocking up on supplies - food, potions, weapons, you name it."

The Minions erupted in a flurry of activity, their tiny bodies darting in every direction as they set to work. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as I watched them, knowing that they were all working towards a common goal.

Hestia stepped up beside me, her hand resting gently on my arm. "You've done well, David-kun," she murmured, her voice filled with pride. "I have a good feeling about this."

I turned to her, a smile spreading across my face. "So do I, Hestia. So do I."

I stood back and watched as the Minions swarmed through the headquarters, their boundless energy and enthusiasm on full display. Kevin, Bob, and Stuart led the charge, their newly blessed Falna empowering them as they tackled their assigned tasks.

Bob, the ever-excitable one, darted around the room, his eyes wide with wonder. He stumbled upon a vase and, without a moment's hesitation, tried to pick it up, only to topple over and send the vase crashing to the floor. I winced, expecting to see the shards scattered across the ground, but to my surprise, the vase simply bounced, completely unharmed.

"Haha, look at that!" Bob exclaimed, his voice filled with glee. He proceeded to hurl the vase against the wall, watching it bounce back and forth with childlike delight.

Kevin, the more levelheaded of the trio, shook his head and approached Bob, gently taking the vase from his hands. "Now, now, Bob, we don't want to break things," he said, his tone patient and understanding.

Stuart, ever the cool one, simply observed the scene, a small smirk playing on his lips. He then turned his attention to a nearby bookshelf, carefully inspecting the tomes before plucking one off the shelf and flipping through the pages.

I couldn't help but chuckle at their antics, marveling at how quickly they had made themselves at home. Their carefree nature was a refreshing contrast to the often serious and intense atmosphere of the Dungeon.

As the Minions continued their explorations, I felt a gentle tug on my sleeve. Turning, I found Hestia standing beside me, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

"They're quite a lively bunch, aren't they?" she mused, her gaze fixed on the Minions.

I nodded, a fond smile spreading across my face. "They are, but I wouldn't have it any other way. They're going to be a valuable addition to the Familia."

Hestia hummed in agreement, her hand coming to rest on my arm. "I can see that. And speaking of the Familia, I've been thinking..."

I raised an eyebrow, my curiosity piqued. "What is it, Hestia?"

"Well, I was thinking it might be a good time to invite the Loki Familia over for a visit," she said, her voice lowering to a conspiratorial whisper. "I think it's time we showed them what the Hestia Familia is capable of."

I couldn't help but grin at the mischievous glint in Hestia's eyes. "I think that's a fantastic idea. And with the Minions' help, we can give them a warm welcome they'll never forget."

Hestia's face lit up with delight, and she eagerly turned to the Minions, who had now gathered around us, their eyes fixed on us with rapt attention.

"Alright, my little Minions!" she called out, her voice brimming with excitement. "We've got a very important task for you all."

The Minions erupted in a chorus of eager chatter, their bodies practically vibrating with anticipation.

"The Loki Familia is coming to visit our headquarters," Hestia continued, her gaze sweeping over the group. "And I want you all to help us make sure they feel right at home."

Kevin, Bob, and Stuart stepped forward, their expressions filled with determination.

"We won't let you down, Hestia!" Bob exclaimed, his voice high-pitched and enthusiastic.

"Yeah, we'll make sure everything is perfect!" Kevin chimed in, his eyes shining with pride.

Stuart simply nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Hestia beamed, her hand reaching out to gently pat Bob on the head. "I know you won't, my little ones. Now, let's get to work!"

The Minions erupted in a chorus of cheers, their tiny bodies darting in every direction as they set to their tasks. I couldn't help but feel a swell of pride as I watched them, knowing that with their help, the Loki Familia was in for a truly unforgettable visit.
