With Lili's help, Bell is progressing further into the dungeon than ever. Since he can focus on the fights, he can make more money. But Lili has a secret: she despises adventurers, and is waiting for a chance to trick Bell.

Lili leads Bell deep into a dungeon and abandons him. He's alone and surrounded by larger monsters than he's ever faced. She runs off with his knife and makes for the exit, but her guild mates are waiting for her.

At Bell's urging, Hestia reluctantly lets Lili into the party. Bell, worried about his weakness as he continues to go deeper into the dungeons, accepts an offer of help from Aiz Wallenstein, the girl he loves.
