DanMachi S3 - Episode 1 - Lili Annoyed at Big Girls in Bath

Liliruca still has hard feelings for realizing the Hestia Familia girls are all "big" in ways she is not.

The main story of DanMachi's third season is discovering that some monsters have intelligence and don't want to mindlessly kill adventurers in the dungeon. Bell rescues an injured vouivre, a type of flying dragon, from adventurers and monsters attacking her. As usual, Bell will care about any female creature who cries in front of him. Hestia can't believe he brought a monster home with him, but the goddess of the hearth extends welcome to everyone. 

Hestia and the rest of her Familia investigate whether anyone else has encountered talking monsters. They collected rumors of monsters wearing adventurers' armor and Ouranos, the god who oversees the Orario dungeon, appears to know all about them and monitors Bell Cranel's activities concerning them. Strangely, the Guild doesn't know what Ouranos knows and issues a bounty on a lizardman wearing armor and wielding a sword.

Hestia's Familia encountered other adventurers investigating rumors of intelligent monsters, while the other gods suspect the god Ikelos of trafficking in captured monsters. Meanwhile, the little vouivre gained a name, Wiene, and smartly picked up on language and her new surroundings. She had to be careful of her sharp claws, because she is a monster after all, but Bell calmed her down.

Let's all recall the very large Eastern style bath Mikoto insisted on building when Hestia took over the huge estate of the Apollo Familia. Wiene got her first bath while Lili sulked over the reminder that all the other girls in the house are "big girls."

After clipping Wiene's claws, she found it much easier to cuddle with Bell, much to Lili's envy. Everyone else chimed in expressing how much they like Bell too, which put Wiene at ease, because everyone in a familia cares for each other.

Lili and Welf, both no strangers to the darker side of the adventuring world, worried what it meant that they had a monster living inside the city and how she's not the first intelligent monster people have met either. Hermes does his own investigation at the behest of Ouranos. Wiene's memories are disturbing too, where she remembers her time as a rage-filled monster killing people as a nightmare. There's a mystery here of how she "woke up" and what it means for what monsters really are.

The end credits make clear that we'll meet Aisha again. I can't wait!
