Episode 10 of DanMachi Season 3 begins with Eina feeling a mix of regret and resentment due to her strained relationship with Bell. Her interaction with Hermes, who informs her about Bell's absence from his home, sets the stage for the unfolding chaos.
Bell has strategically positioned himself with his family in Daedalus Street, where Hestia and Haruhime oversee the operation using communication stones. Meanwhile, Finn from the Loki Familia attempts to track down the Xenos and discreetly assigns Ais to follow Bell, believing him to be a decoy.
A humorous scene unfolds as Ais observes from her rooftop how Bell is approached by several women, including Raza from the Miach Familia, Aisha and Ryuu from the Hermes Familia, and Aina. Due to the distance and lack of clear communication, misunderstandings arise, leading Ais to mistakenly believe Bell is a womanizer.
In this situation, Lili uses her shape-shifting ability to create a distraction by transforming into an Al-Miraj and scattering the Loki children. Raza further adds to the confusion by creating illusions of Bell and monsters, effectively disrupting the Loki Familia's formation.
When Bell uses his invisibility cloak to evade Ais, she senses his presence but is briefly distracted by Ryuu, who challenges her to a sparring match. Ryuu hopes that her enhanced abilities, thanks to Haruhime, will stall Ais long enough to support Bell's mission.
After the Loki Familia is temporarily distracted, the Xenos begin moving toward the West Gate. Lili, disguised as Finn, orders the Loki children to return to base, clearing the path for the Xenos to escape. However, Finn quickly deduces the existence of the West Gate from the Xenos' movements.
The situation escalates as Makoto and Welf erect ice barriers to protect the Xenos from their pursuers. Their efforts are thwarted when Gareth, a formidable opponent, breaks through the barriers, scatters the Xenos, and isolates Wiene.
Wiene, lost and vulnerable, encounters Tiona Hiryute, leading to a potential confrontation. Haruhime, with limited offensive abilities, sets out to aid Wiene. The episode ends with the possibility of a clash between Bell and Tiona, while Ais continues her search for Bell.
