What Happened In Episode 1?

In Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets The Wise Wolf episode 1, an older woman shares several tales with a younger character. While most tales don’t catch the child’s interest, the woman shares a tale about a wolf who brought a village bountiful harvests. This interests the girl and the two discuss this tale in detail. Then, we cut to our male protagonist Lawrence, who happens to be a traveling merchant.

He has a brief run-in with a few guards and knights. He settles things with them and continues heading toward Pasole Village to meet with a man named Yarei. Unfortunately, Yarei gets held up by one of the village’s festival activities, resulting in Lawrence visiting someone else instead. The two chat about Pasole’s harvests and its new lord.

They also touch upon Yarei’s growth as a seller. Then, Lawrence heads to a river to get rest. There, he encounters Holo. Holo shares some critical information with Lawrence regarding her abilities and background. Lawrence isn’t sure if Holo’s the harvest god of legend. He asks her to transform in front of him to prove it. Holo eats some wheat and transforms in front of Lawrence.

This frightens Lawrence. Then, he learns Holo fled the area somehow. After that, Lawrence visits the gentleman he spoke to earlier and requests a room for the night. Then, Lawrence stumbles upon Yarei in the dining area and the two have a business and life-oriented discussion. Later, Lawrence returns to his room and Holo greets him unexpectedly.

Holo informs him about her wheat-traveling abilities and desires to head north. We cut to Lawrence departing from Pasole Village in the morning. Holo exits his cargo and Lawrence isn’t thrilled she’s wearing his garments. Next, Holo asks Lawrence if she can accompany him on his journey. Lawrence says he’s fine with it, but Holo must earn her keep. Holo complies.

The episode closes with the two riding off somewhere. 

We’ve covered the entire episode with a lengthy recap that touches on all major plot points and discusses the chapter with an accompanying review. You can find that link below.
