Wolf and Silent Farewell

Wolf and Silent Farewell is the sixth episode of the first season of the Spice and Wolf anime.

Synopsis
A pursuer stabs Lawrence, slowing him and eventually causing him and Holo to become trapped in the tunnels beneath Pazzio. Chloe tries to convince Lawrence to surrender Holo in exchange for his life and lucrative wheat purchasing options, but he refuses. To protect Lawrence, Holo transforms into her wolf form and rampages through their pursuers before disappearing as Lawrence faints from blood loss. He awakens in the Milone Trading Company headquarters, where Richten Marlheit informs him that Holo guided rescuers to his location and then left.

Thinking that Holo parted ways because he had recoiled from her wolf form during the fight, Lawrence reluctantly turns his attention to business with Marlheit. He learns that despite a successful negotiation with the Kingdom of Trenni and resultant vast gross profits, the Milone Company also took vast losses in the coin venture, so out of the net profit there is little money left for him. Nevertheless, an unexpected offer from Medio Trading Company, trying to make peace and get some profit out of the whole debacle, netted the Milone Company and Lawrence an excellent profit in turn.

Lawrence takes his payment in pepper but then receives a bill for new clothes and a large amount of apples. Realizing that Holo is still around, Lawrence runs down to the busy loading area, where she is sitting on his wagon and brushing out her tail with her new comb. They agree to continue their travels together.
