In Episode 2 of DanMachi Season 3, the Hestia Familia faces complex decisions regarding Wiene, the talking monster, leading to a series of events that challenge the established norms of their world.
The episode begins with Hestia consulting the gods she trusts and deciding that the only way to learn more about Wiene's origins is to return to the dungeon. Bell, Welf, and Lili set off for the dungeon, leaving Makoto and Haruhime behind to protect Hestia and Wiene. Aisha, whom they happen to meet, joins their expedition, followed by Ryuu, who aims to protect Bell's honor from Aisha's potential influence.
While exploring the dungeon, Bell's combat efficiency seems impaired, either due to Wiene's influence or because he hesitates to fight monsters that resemble her. This noticeable decline in his fighting abilities worries Ryuu and Aisha.
Lili distracts Ryuu and Aisha, allowing Bell and Welf to revisit the forest where they found Wiene. Although they find no new information, they encounter another articulate monster—a feathered creature that questions the inevitability of conflict between monsters and humans. This encounter is followed by a tense interaction with the Ikelos Familia, led by Dix.
Meanwhile, on the surface, Ikelos investigates the missing Vouivre on Dix's orders. Bell's reaction to Ikelos' question about a talking monster nearly exposes them, but Hermes, who happens to be present, intervenes and subtly warns Ikelos against nefarious activities.
Back at Hestia's home, where Wiene is playing a game with Haruhime, Lili remains firmly convinced that taking Wiene in poses a significant risk. She argues that, despite their emotional bond, Wiene is a danger akin to a ticking time bomb. Her stance sparks a crucial discussion about the Familia's responsibility and the potential consequences of their actions.
The situation escalates when Wiene, overhearing the conversation, flees into the city out of heartbreak. Her attempt to help a little girl inadvertently causes public panic, as bystanders perceive her as a threat. Lili takes the initiative and rushes ahead of Bell to intervene.
The episode ends with the Familia reuniting in their old basement, where Bell tries to comfort a desperate Wiene. The gravity of their situation becomes clear as they must confront the fact that Wiene may not be able to stay with them.
