Spice and Wolf: The Beginning of a Merchant’s Journey with the Wise Wolf

The first episode of Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf opens with a revelation of the legend of the Fox God. The legend tells of the Fox God’s promise to a village to safeguard and nurture the wheat grown by its inhabitants.

Despite this, during bad harvests, the villagers would still blame the wolf for consuming all of the wheat. It was also discovered that each year, the villagers made an effort to capture the wolf that would sleep in the final sheaf of wheat, in hopes that the following year’s harvest would be prosperous.

After that, the episode continues with the main story. Kraft Lawrence, a solitary merchant, arrives at a village with his shipment of marten furs and winter wheat. He encounters a knight stationed on the road, who informs him about potential pagan practices in a nearby village.

Lawrence witnesses the renowned harvest festival, during which his childhood companion Yarei is chosen to embody “Holo,”the Goddess of Harvest. Afterwards, the merchant exchanges pleasantries with the village chief, who is optimistic about the village’s future prosperity.

During their night camping in the fields near the village, Lawrence inspects his wagon and is taken aback to discover a young girl sleeping inside. Inquiring about her identity, the girl introduces herself as Holo. Skeptical, Kraft requests for proof to verify her claims.

After partially transforming into her wolf form, the girl vanishes after receiving a bundle of wheat. Perplexed, Kraft Lawrence makes his way back to the village to spend the night. Yarei then offers him a drink and the two engage in conversation.

The following evening, Kraft reunites with Holo, the wolf girl. He discovers that she desires to return to her homeland in the far north. The traveling merchant departs from the village the following day.

It is worth noting that he allows Holo to join him on his journey. The wolf girl promises Lawrence that she will bring prosperity to his trade. The cheerful moment comes to a close as the sun sets on the horizon, and the mysterious pair departs from the pagan village.
