Argonaut (
Synopsis[]
If it's a war Ishtar wants, then that is precisely what she'll get. Freya is done accommodating the goddess - playtime is over.
Plot[]
The Freya Familia starts a war with the Ishtar Familia by attacking the Pleasure District. The attack is spearheaded by Freya who plans on taking out Ishtar herself.
Although the Killing Stone was destroyed, Haruhime still refuses to be rescued due to her being a prostitute. However, Bell doesn't care that Haruhime is a prostitute, even though, to heroes they're considered to be their destruction. Tired of the back and forth talk between Bell and Haruhime, Phryne goes on the offensives against Bell and demands that Haruhime use her magic on her. However, instead of casting her Uchide no Kozuchi on Phryne, Haruhime casts it on Bell. Furious by this, Phryne attacks Haruhime knocking her out and causing Bell to fight toe to toe against the ugly Amazonian. While Aisha orders her fellow Amazonians to flee, Ottar separates from the Gulliver Brothers, he finds and heals a wounded Mikoto.
Elsewhere, Hestia's group investigates the Ishtar Familia base until they're attacked by a single Amazonia guard that overpowers them. They're sequentially rescued by the Freya Familia's Vice-Captain Allen. He disparages Welf and then heads on his way, as Hestia realizes that Freya is there. The fight between Bell and Phryne continues as the Amazonian knocks Bell back making him lose one of his weapons. To stand a chance against his opponent, Bell picks up and uses a broad sword against Phryne, slicing her face in the process. Enraged, Phryne strikes the ground with a heavy blow destroying most of the edifice. Bell, however, counterattacks using Phryne's immense weight to plunge her down through the bridge. Walking toward Haruhime, Bell is stopped by Aisha.
Shown to have survived her fall, Phryne is confronted by Ottar who after a brief talk between them KOs Phryne. Meanwhile, Mikoto, who is now healed, is founded and aided by Hestia's group. Now with the group, she informs them of Bell's location at the Hanging Gardens. The fight between Bell and Aisha begins once the power of the Uchide no Kozuchi runs out while Ishtar flees she's confronted by Freya. As Hermes accompanied by Asfi overlooks the Pleasure District up in flames. Asfi asks Hermes if this was part of his plan, but he plays ignorant merely claiming all he did was light the spark that set the town ablaze. Back to Bell vs Aisha, the Amazonian casts Hell Kaios and Bell uses his Argonaut skill to nullify the magic. The two colliding powers, however, destroy each other's weapons. Not giving up, Bell gets up close to Aisha and casts Firebolt at point-blank range defeating her.
Confronting Ishtar once more, Freya with a single slap causes Ishtar to be sent back to the heavens once again. With Ishtar defeated, the slave collar around Haruhime's neck disintegrates finally gaining her freedom. At that moment, Hestia and the group arrive at the scene, with Mikoto in particular being overjoyed that Bell was able to save Haruhime.
