Wolf and the Decision to Part

Wolf and the Decision to Part is the eleventh episode of the second season of the Spice and Wolf anime.

Official Synopsis
With Lawrence so close to finally achieving his dream of owning his own shop, Holo wonders if the time has come for them to give up their journey.

Plot
The Delink Company, which trades slaves, is willing to provide cash for Eve's fur trade scheme in exchange for Holo as the collateral. The company proposes to pay with 60 lumione gold coins instead of 2,000 trenni silver coins because of its inability to procure the necessary silver, and Lawrence agrees to the deal.

While having a celebratory drink with Lawrence and Holo, Eve reveals the fate of her unhappy arranged marriage to her merchant husband, who committed suicide when his business collapsed. She admits that she is jealous of Lawrence and Holo's relationship and tells them to cherish their experiences together.

Back at the inn, Holo suggests they should end their journey after she is "sold" since Lawrence has almost realized his dream of becoming a shop owner. She reveals that with her growing feelings for Lawrence, she is frightened of an inevitably sad conclusion to their relationship given their vastly different lifespans. Lawrence's efforts to dissuade her fail.

The next morning, they return the books borrowed from Rigoro, pausing to converse with Merta. Suddenly, Eve arrives with news that a coup d'état has occurred from public outcry to the Council of Fifty's decision on Lenos' fur trade, leaving them surrounded by a rebellion.
