WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Season 3, Episode 10, "Invisible | Forced Breakthrough," now streaming on Crunchyroll.
The Xenos might’ve escaped their initial confrontation with the Loki Familia unscathed, but they’re not out of the woods just yet. As Bell and company execute their plan to try and get the misunderstood creatures back to safety in Episode 10, problems arise during the night of the operation.
The worry signs first appear when, upset over how her last meeting with Bell went, Eina leaves the guild but is stopped in town by Hermes, who asks her for a favor regarding Bell.
Later that night, Hestia and the rest of her familia begin the operation to get the Xenos back into the dungeon as nearby adventurers close in on them, but things do awry quickly. Bell attempts to draw the Loki Familia’s attention by positioning himself away from the designed escape route. Finn already has an idea of what role Bell will play in the upcoming conflict and decides to have a single familia member shadow him, to which Finn hesitantly agrees.
This is when Bell notices Ais looking down at him from the rooftops. But as he questions why she’s the only one following him, he is approached by Aisha, Lyu and Naaza at different times. Figuring that the Loki Familia has caught wind of their plan, Bell asks the three of them for help distracting Ais. Eina shows up at the last second, but Bell leaves before she can give him a mysterious bracelet from Hermes.
Ais loses sight of bell thanks to Naaza’s help, and Lyu distracts her by challenging her to a one-on-one duel. Meanwhile, Lili uses her shapeshifting abilities to confuse the Loki Familia's forces. She masquerades as Finn and establishes a clear route to the dungeon, one which is relatively free of adventurers looking for the fugitive Xenos.
Ready to make their escape, the Xenos call out to one another from across the city. Asterius hears them but doesn’t respond. Led by Mikoto and Welf, Fels and the Xenos make their way to a hidden entrance to Knossos but are stopped by Gareth. The Xenos are momentarily split-up due to a massive earth-shattering attack, but Welf and Mikoto manage to slow him down with their magic swords.
At this point, Hestia and Haruhime notice that Wiene has strayed away from the rest of the group, and Haruhime rushes off to find her. Worried, Hestia gets in contact with Bell and gives him her location as well. This leaves Wiene scarred and lost walks out into an open area, where she’s met by Tiona, eager and ready to attack. The Xenos are far from out of the woods yet.
