Bell Cranel has advanced in level, but he must not become complacent. The Hestia Familia still requires much progress before it can compete with other Orario Familias. However, prior to embarking on his next assignment, news of a gruesome murder emerges within the adventuring community. One of Bell's loyal companions is implicated in this heinous crime, and it falls upon him and his friends to exonerate their ally and expose an insidious plot that lurks beneath the surface of the dungeon's shadowy abysses.
The series adapts the volumes 12 and 13 of the light novel of Fujino Omori's series of the same title.
