Made in Abyss Season 2 Episode 06

The Luring is the sixth episode of the Made in Abyss: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun anime series.

Synopsis
Riko, about to choose to give up half her internal organs in exchange for Nanachi, is stopped by Majikaja. Then, Riko is pulled out of Belaf's hut and a Ilblu Balancing occurs in which a creature that has been to the village of Ilblu before had been lured into the village to be hunted and terrorizes the village.

Riko heads towards the jeweler's and goes to collect Prushka in her embellished whistle form before the shop is destroyed. Juroimo, one of the three Sages, decides that the creature is tough enough that he should get involved in the fight. Riko becomes worried about the village after the Narehate from the market, including Moogie, go to hunt the creature. Riko formulates a plan, after getting an estimate on the value on the creature, to defeat it and get Nanachi back.

Riko enacts her plan to kill the creature, later named an Fuzosheppu, with good success. She uses her knowledge of the Ilblu language to command the citizens within the village to trap the Fuzosheppu using some sort of malleable, mist-like reflective surface and a large net, and then severing it's vitals with spears.

While explaining to Moogie what to do after the Fuzosheppu is captured it erupted in one last stand, attempting to capture Narehate like Maaa, who were standing nearby. "Prushka" tells Riko to use her, and once she does, Reg appears and stops the Fuzosheppu, saving her, Maaa and the other Narehate that had been captured. The chapter ends with Reg telling Riko to "give him his next order."

Riko and Reg, reunited, engage the Fuzosheppu once more. As Reg launches for the finishing blow he stops abruptly, due to the creature being only a left-behind empty shell already. Before figuring out what happened to the Fuzosheppu, Wazukyan appears congratulating them by highfiving Riko and explaining that the Queen, that formed the "core" of the creature has died, and thus leading the rest of the hive to disperse.

Riko asks the sage of a way to get Nanachi back from Belaf and after a brief moment of thought Wazukyan supposes that it would be possible with a part of Faputa. While Reg returns to Faputa to ask her, Riko takes a rest in the village with Vueko and the other villagers.

Vueko reveals that she was part of the original Delver-Group that went to the 6th layer, and was a sage herself.
