In Episode 3 of "DanMachi II," the focus initially falls on Soma's commander Zanis, who, under the pretense of reuniting with Liliruca, reveals his true motive: to exploit her transformation magic for profit. Lili's jailer Chandra expresses dissatisfaction with Zanis' plans and hints at her future assistance for Lili.
Hestia recognizes the urgent need to rescue Lili and meets with allies such as Welf, members of the Takemikazuchi Familia, Miach, and Naza. She emphasizes the importance of saving Lili before the war game with the Apollo Familia, knowing that Bell cannot fight effectively while worrying about his followers.
At the gods' assembly, where the conditions for the war game are set, Hestia drafts the challenging scenario of a siege. Through Hermes' intervention and Freya's mockery of Apollo, Hestia Familia is granted permission to bring an outside helper from beyond Orario—a decision influenced by the perceived injustice of the situation.
Meanwhile, Zanis drops the facade of familial care for Lili and exposes his exploitative intentions. However, Chandra, unable to tolerate Zanis' cruelty, aids Lili by providing her with the means to escape. During her flight, Lili encounters a rescue mission led by Hestia and her allies. Despite Lili's initial reluctance, Hestia convinces her to join them with heartfelt assurances of her importance to the Familia.
In parallel, Lili seeks help from Soma, who is usually distant and absorbed in his wine-making. After a test involving his wine, Soma surprisingly intervenes in the battle, leading to Welf's dramatic entrance and a confrontation with Zanis.
The episode culminates in significant changes for Hestia Familia. Lili officially transfers from Soma to Hestia Familia, followed by Mikoto, who requests and receives Takemikazuchi's permission to join Hestia Familia. Welf also secures Hephaistos' approval to switch to Hestia Familia, while Hermes and Syr persuade Ryu Lion to join as the permitted helper for the war game.
By the episode's end, as Hestia Familia is assigned the role of attackers in the war game and Bell trains intensely with Ais and Tiona, the previously bleak prospects for Hestia Familia begin to brighten.
