Wolf and the Inadvertent Rift

Wolf and the Inadvertent Rift is the first episode of the second season of the Spice and Wolf anime.

Synopsis
Holo and Lawrence arrive in a village where the citizens are preparing for an annual festival. After Holo pays the price for celebrating a little too enthusiastically, Lawrence heads out to do some business with the locals.

Plot
On the road to Kumersun, where a large pagan festival and winter market are taking place, Lawrence and Holo meet the fishmonger Fermi Amarti, who is promptly smitten by Holo. Once in Kumersun, Amarti helps the two get good lodgings. Holo overindulges in food and wine and wakes the next day with a hangover. While she recovers at the inn, Lawrence reconnects with his business associate, Marc Cole, and sells his cargo of iron nails.

That night, Lawrence asks Holo a few questions about towns neighboring Yoitsu and ascertains that reaching it will probably take another year or two. Lawrence suggests that they can split up once they reach the town of Nyohhira, since from there Holo in her wolf form could reach Yoitsu in only two days, but he quickly regrets his lack of tact.
