The sequel will likely skip volume 15 and continue the adaptation from volume 16 of the original light novel series, focusing on the Goddess of the Fertility Arc. Volume 15 acts as a bridge between volumes 14 and 16 where the characters get room for growth outside of their adventures. This part jumps between the past and present, highlighting the outcomes of Bell's adventures and foreshadowing the upcoming events.

According to the synopsis, this arc centers around the Goddess Festival, which Bell Cranel looks forward to enjoying after his harrowing escape from the dungeon's depth along with Ryu.

On the other side, Syr realizes her deep affection for Bell Cranel. As such, she sends him a letter, asking the boy to go on a day with her on the Goddes Festival's date. Syr's decision causes a chain of events that changes Bell's life and throws Orario into complete chaos.

DanMachi season 5 episode 1 will likely show Horn, a young lady, delivering Syr's letter to Bell Cranel. Undoubtedly, Bell will be taken aback to receive such a proposal.

Likewise, Hestia, Haruhime, Lily, and others will be shocked to see the letter. It remains to be seen whether the first episode features Freya since she plays a vital role in the season.
