Wolf and Reckless Negotiation

Wolf and Reckless Negotiations is the ninth episode of the second season of the Spice and Wolf anime.

Synopsis
Lawrence and Holo visit Rigoro Deidre at his home, where they meet his assistant Merta and are at first awed by the magnificent garden behind his house encased in large glass windows. Rigoro notes that the Council of Fifty has made a decision about the fur trade earlier than expected, and while interested Lawrence refrains from inquiring further. Impressed, Rigoro brings them to his archives in the cellar, where Holo picks out a few books containing old legends from the north for Lawrence to carry back. Lawrence and Holo spend an enjoyable night together, though Holo later confesses that she is afraid of being separated from Lawrence at the journey’s end. After Holo goes to sleep, Lawrence chats with Eve Boland about her business ventures, but she surprises him by asking whether he would like to sell Holo.
