Wolf and Best Clothes

Wolf and Best Clothes is the first episode of the first season of the Spice and Wolf anime.

Synopsis
Kraft Lawrence, a 25-year-old traveling merchant, arrives at the village of Pasloe during its harvest festival with his cargo of marten furs and winter wheat. In the fields surrounding the village, Lawrence meets a girl claiming to be the legendary wolf deity, Holo. In disbelief, Lawrence asks her for proof, so the girl returns to her wolf form before disappearing. Unsettled, Lawrence returns to Pasloe to spend the night and meets with Chloe, a former student. She asks if she can become Lawrence’s business partner and hints at a romantic interest, but he declines, telling her that she is too young to make such a risky move. Later that night, Lawrence meets Holo again and learns that she escaped the town so that she can return to her homeland in the distant North. Lawrence cautiously agrees to let her accompany him on his travels, hoping that her presence will bring him good luck in business.
