Episode 5 of "DanMachi II" serves as a transitional episode and focuses on the Hestia Familia's adjustment to their new and improved living conditions after their victory over the Apollo Familia. The episode begins with the Hestia Familia settling into their new, spacious home, which has been renovated to remove Apollo's unique decorations. This new environment marks a notable change from their previous, more modest living conditions.
Hestia ensures that the individual preferences of her family members are taken into account: Mikoto receives a large cypress bath, and Welf gets a well-equipped forge for his work as a blacksmith. These changes highlight Hestia's appreciation for her family's support and loyalty.
Later in the episode, a moment of revelation occurs when Mikoto discovers a promissory note for 200 million Valis, which Hestia issued to purchase Bell's weapon. This discovery shocks Bell and causes him to faint upon learning the enormous financial burden Hestia has taken on for him.
This financial revelation has immediate consequences. The prospect of joining the Hestia Familia, which had been tempting for many in Orario after the outsider's victory, quickly loses its appeal as potential recruits learn about the debt. This leads to a mass exodus, leaving Hestia's children considering expanding their dungeon explorations to earn income.
Hestia, who always stands up for her familia, insists on taking responsibility for repaying the debt herself. This resolve is further strengthened when she overhears Bell expressing his gratitude and respect for her while in the bath. It becomes clear that Apollo's wealth, initially seen as a financial windfall for the Hestia Familia, has already been spent on renovating their new home.
By the end of the episode, it is evident that despite the financial challenges they face, the members of the Hestia Familia remain united and stand together.
