Recap of Danmachi Season 5 Episode 4

After a dramatic escape from the Freya Familia, Syr takes Bell to a secluded inn, where an almost intimate moment occurs as she attempts to kiss him. However, Bell pushes her away, advising her against being swept up in the moment. They end up sleeping beside each other as Bell maintains a careful distance.

The following morning, Bell discovers Syr missing from their room. He goes searching for her at the tavern and finds Welf, who encourages him to respond to Syr’s feelings rather than leaving her in uncertainty.

Determined, Bell seeks out Hedin Selland for clues about Syr’s whereabouts, only to encounter Hogni, a member of Freya’s Familia, whose cryptic words leave Bell puzzled. After Hogni departs, Bell notices Ottarl on a tower, seemingly signaling him.

Eventually, Bell reunites with Syr and returns an accessory she left behind. In an emotional moment, Syr hugs him, begging for him to accept her feelings. Suddenly, Hogni attacks, leading Bell to defend her fiercely.

Assisting Bell are Ryu and the tavern’s waitresses, while the Gulliver brothers come to Hogni’s aid. Following Ryu’s suggestion, Bell and Syr make their escape, allowing the fight to unfold between Ryu and the cat girls against Hogni and the Gulliver brothers, though they are overpowered.

Once they find a safe place, Syr explains that her actions have drawn the ire of her Goddess, and despite knowing the consequences, she cannot suppress her feelings for Bell. When she attempts to embrace him again, Bell holds her hand firmly, revealing a knife that falls away.

Believing from the start that someone was impersonating her, especially after receiving the accessory originally belonging to Bell, Syr finally admits her true nature and discloses the original Syr’s location.

A flashback elucidates Syr’s original identity swap with Goddess Freya, resulting in the creation of the Horn identity. Meanwhile, Freya’s Familia members arrive and begin to interrogate Horn.

With Freya’s consciousness shared with Horn, she grapples with Bell Cranel’s influence on her Goddess’s psyche. Unable to tolerate the sight of Freya’s deterioration, she plots to eliminate Bell. Ultimately, Bell meets Syr (who is actually Freya), and her heartfelt confession poses a challenge he struggles to accept. The episode concludes with Syr wandering in the rain, shedding her identity to return to Freya. She instructs Ottarl to prepare for her next move against Bell.
