Episode Title:
The Blade of a God (Hestia Knife).
Episode Description:
Flashbacks show how Bell decided to become an adventurer after his grandfather was killed by a monster, eventually meeting Hestia and becoming her Familia. The God Ganesha, whose arena the gorilla was freed from orders it recaptured before it harms innocent people, even asking other Familia for help. Hestia eventually finds her way back to Bell and they flee the Gorilla together. Hestia gives Bell the Tanto she names the Hestia Knife, a living weapon enchanted to grow more powerful the stronger Bell becomes. As Bell holds the weapon for the first time his stat level rises dramatically and he kills the Gorilla in a matter of seconds. His deed is witnessed by dozens of people, including Ais, who smiles before walking away. Hestia suddenly faints with the unknown Goddess who released the Gorilla watching, implying it was her doing. As Hestia recovers Bell realises the Hestia Knife was forged by Hephaistos, meaning it was incredibly expensive and he swears to keep having faith in Hestia. Meanwhile, in the dungeon Adventurer Ged Raish is shown mistreating a young girl named Liliruca Arde, forcing her to carry his equipment and threatening to let monsters kill her if she disappoints him.
