Danmachi Season 5 Episode 7 recap

As Ryu regains consciousness, she wonders about her current whereabouts. Alfi, who is beside her, informs her about everything that has happened in Orario. Ryu then says she wants to return to Orario and help Bell, but Alfi reminds her that given their current condition, they stand no chance against Freya.

Therefore, she feels they should proceed with a plan before returning to Orario. Meanwhile, Hestia ventures into Ouranos's chamber and almost tells him about Hermes's note. Ouranos stops Hestia, reminding her that the walls have ears and noses. The ancient God tells Hestia to return.

When she hesitates, Ouranos says Orario has become chilly. Therefore, he wants the Hermes's familia to organize the distribution of the firewood. Although the Ganesha Familia usually handles this job, Ouranos feels they will be busy with Freya's work. Following that, he once again tells Hestia to return, to which she eventually agrees.

Meanwhile, Goddess Freya holds a meeting with her top-ranked adventurers, who report Bell Cranel's growth in the Familia. Hedin Selland requests Freya to let him handle the boy's training, as he feels he can bring out his hidden potential. Eventually, he puts Bell through intense training.

After that, we see Bell Cranel dining with Van and some other members of the Freya Familia. He earns Van's respect, as the adventurer gives him a few valuable inputs on fighting. Meanwhile, at night, Freya asks Bell whether he wants to go through the curse removal treatment.

She feels if Bell agrees, she will be able to weaken the boy's Realis Freese skill. However, Bell doesn't want to do that. On the same night, Ottarl reports to Freya that Ryu has been missing from the tavern. The Goddess, who knows Ryu has escaped, also understands that the elf girl will eventually return.

Meanwhile, Anya is devastated to find out that her friends don't remember Syr. Only Mama Mia does, who tells her that Freya has wiped out Syr's existence. She frantically leaves the tavern and meets Allen outside. Allen takes Anya to Freya, who transforms into Syr, and tells her the truth about her dual persona.

Anya's world crumbles, as she can't believe that Syr has been Freya all along. Seeing Anya in disarray, Ryu comes out of hiding and faces Freya. The Goddess of Beauty chides Ryu, before proposing to share Bell with him. Freya's proposal disgusts Ryu, who blatantly rejects it.

Freya then puts the elf girl unconscious and asks Allen to bring her to Folkvangr. Meanwhile, Allen tells his sister not to interfere anymore, or else he will wreck the tavern. At night, Bell Cranel goes to Freya's room and realizes she's sad for some reason.

Freya reveals she has hurt someone. Bell Cranel listens to her distress and gives some advice. The boy's compassionate nature moves Freya's heart and she confesses her feelings to him. During their conversation, Bell unintentionally calls Freya Syr. Although the Goddess of Beauty becomes shocked, she quickly regains composer.

After Bell leaves, she opens a drawer and picks up the ornament she kept as a souvenir from her date as Syr with Bell. Freya's silence speaks volumes and she appears depressed. Outside her room, Horn feels the Goddess' distress, since she shares her consciousness. Hedin arrives at that moment and asks Horn what's wrong. The episode ends with Hedin wanting to remain a loyal servant til the end.
