Wolf and the Calm Before the Storm

Wolf and the Calm Before the Storm is the second episode of the second season of the Spice and Wolf anime.

Synopsis
Instead of taking Holo to the festival as planned, Lawrence is taken by fellow merchant Gi Batos to meet Dian Rubens, an alchemist, to learn more about Yoitsu. She tells Lawrence of a legend about the bear that destroyed Yoitsu and also of a large wolf near the town of Lenos who called herself Holo of Yoitsu. Later when sharing a drink with Marc Cole, Lawrence becomes jealous of Amati, fearing he may be trying to steal Holo away from him. When they both return to the inn, Holo reveals how she lied to Amati, telling him she travels with Lawrence because she owes him a large debt. She also recounts how Amati and a crowd of other festival-goers haggled over pieces of pyrite, greatly inflating their price.
