Episode 6 of "DanMachi II" reveals the pleasure quarter of Orario, controlled by the wealthy Ishtar Familia. The episode begins with Bell, Lili, and Welf noticing Mikoto's unusual behavior, prompting them to follow her one night. To their surprise, Mikoto and Chigusa enter the pleasure quarter and reveal their mission to find an old noble friend from the Far East.
The pleasure quarter proves to be a challenge for Bell, who, separated from his companions, becomes the target of numerous advances from the women of the district, including Aisha, a high-ranking member of the Ishtar Familia. Amid this chaos, Bell catches sight of a fox woman in a yukata, Haruhime, who turns out to be the very person Mikoto and Chigusa are searching for.
Bell's situation escalates when he is taken to Ishtar's palace, where he barely escapes the overeager affections of Ishtar's subordinates, thanks to a distraction caused by Phryne, a terrifying figure among them. Using his agility and stealth, Bell takes refuge in a nearby brothel, where he encounters Haruhime. Haruhime assumes Bell is seeking a romantic encounter, but they strike up a conversation and discover their shared love for hero tales.
Meanwhile, Ishtar meets with Hermes, who has delivered an important item crucial to her rivalry with Freya. When Hermes hesitates to reveal Freya's weaknesses, Ishtar resorts to seduction to extract information. This scene reveals Ishtar's strategic motives and her interest in exploiting Freya's obsession with Bell.
Haruhime confides in Bell, expressing her disappointment with her life in the brothel, as she feels unworthy of being saved or protected despite her noble origins. This revelation moves Bell, who disagrees with her resigned outlook, believing that her circumstances should not lead her to abandon her dreams.
The episode ends with a sense of urgency as Aisha arrives to take Haruhime back, while Bell narrowly avoids a confrontation. Ishtar, having successfully forced Hermes into bed, learns of Freya's obsession with Bell and sets her sights on him to harm Freya.
