In Episode 5 of "DanMachi," the main characters Bell and Hestia share a heartfelt moment as Bell takes care of her. This domestic scene is interrupted when Hestia, who has been drinking after seeing Bell with Lili, decides to take Bell out to make the most of his recent financial success.

However, their date does not go as planned. At a divine bathhouse, Hestia attracts the attention of other deities, leading to a series of escapades where Bell and Hestia are forced to evade them. The episode carries a hint of romance as they find themselves in a secluded, starry area, though their relationship does not make significant progress.

Meanwhile, Lili is seen paying off her debts by compensating members of the Soma Familia with the money she earned through her work with Bell. Although she hopes to settle her debts soon, the situation remains precarious, reflecting her naivety. Lili's trust issues are evident as she continues to harbor doubts about Bell despite his unwavering kindness and generosity.

The episode takes a turn when Bell accidentally acquires a magical fire ability after reading a grimoire lent to him by Syr. This new power excites Bell so much that he recklessly tests it alone in the dungeon. His overconfidence puts him in danger until he is rescued by Ais and Riviera, who happen to be in the same area of the dungeon.

Bell's impulsive behavior takes center stage in this episode, highlighting his immaturity and dependence on others. The episode also sheds light on Ais's sense of responsibility for Bell's previous encounter with the Minotaur, adding depth to her character.

The episode concludes with Bell returning the now-empty grimoire to Syr.
