Episode 9 of "DanMachi II" is a tale of determination and bravery, where Bell and his allies face tremendous challenges to rescue Haruhime. The episode begins with Bell overcoming his self-doubts and resolving to save Haruhime despite the potential consequences. Mikoto joins him in this risky endeavor, and both accept that there may be repercussions later.
While Hestia, Lili, and Welf are held back at the gates, Bell and Mikoto proceed with their plan. Mikoto's task is to reach Haruhime in secret, while Bell creates a diversion. Bell's diversion involves a bold charge at the entrance gate, where he confronts waves of Amazons with his Firebolt spell. However, his tactic only remains effective until Phryne, a terrifying opponent wielding two weapons, enters the fray and effortlessly counters his attacks.
In a surprising twist, Ishtar intervenes to seduce Bell. To her dismay, Bell proves immune to her divine charms, mirroring a similar immunity to Freya's allure. Meanwhile, Freya receives intel about the Ishtar Familia's actions and begins to mobilize.
Meanwhile, Mikoto reaches Haruhime, who is burdened by feelings of unworthiness due to her profession. Mikoto, however, is determined to save her and dismisses Haruhime's objections. This leads to a confrontation between Mikoto and Samira, who is a level higher than Mikoto. Despite the difference in their strength, Mikoto employs a clever tactic, engaging Samira in close combat and unleashing a powerful magical discharge—though she ends up falling from the building.
The climax of the episode is Bell's decisive intervention. He manages to deflect the fatal strike aimed at Haruhime and shatters the killing stone, thwarting the ritual and saving Haruhime. This moment highlights the episode's gripping narrative and underscores Bell's heroism.
By the end of the episode, the focus shifts back to Bell, who now faces the challenge of fending off the Amazons on the rooftop. With the cavalry (Hestia and the others) yet to arrive, Bell's situation is precarious—especially after foiling the Amazons' plans against Freya.
