In "DanMachi IV: Episode 2," the episode begins with Bell Cranel's group setting up camp on the uppermost green level of the middle floor of the dungeon. Haruhime expresses concern about Bell's ability to fight monsters after his interactions with the Xenos. Bell reassures her that he remains committed to his role, even as he acknowledges the contradictions in his actions.

Bell's effectiveness in combat earns him the admiration of his comrades. However, Lili worries that Bell is becoming increasingly withdrawn, to which Welf responds that it is the duty of partisans to stay on the ball. Aisha notices Bell's positive influence on the group and observes that he strengthens his allies.

The evening winds down with a shared meal around the campfire. Later, as they retreat to their tents, various interactions unfold among the characters. Mikoto promises to protect Haruhime, Daphne praises Lili for her strategic skill, and the worried Cassandra warns Chigusa about her ominous premonition regarding green moss.

During his watch, Bell has a meaningful exchange with Welf and Aisha. Aisha warns Bell about the growing dangers the deeper they venture into the dungeon, emphasizing the potential consequences of his actions for the entire group. Bell remains undeterred by this prospect.

As the team descends to the 25th floor, known as the Great Falls of the Water City, they are awed by the massive waterfalls and rock formations. Their first encounter with monsters, blue crabs, goes relatively smoothly. However, near the water's edge, a near-fatal incident occurs between Haruhime and a giant piranha, which Mikoto swiftly brings under control.

The discovery of a rare and valuable material leads Lili to weigh the risks and benefits before deciding to retrieve it. This decision is validated when Mikoto skillfully thwarts a monster's ambush.

The episode takes a dark turn as the group's confidence is shaken by the fulfillment of Cassandra's premonition. They encounter Luvis, a wounded adventurer, pursued by a terrifying monster. Bell battles the creature, referred to as an "enhanced species," but struggles against its advanced tactics. A woody projectile from the creature strikes Chigusa, infecting her with a rapidly growing plant that threatens her life.
