| Bah. This better all get resolved in the next episode. Watching this is painful. And I don't actually get what happened with Amarty paying Lawrence with gold coins, but I hope it doesn't mean that Lawrence's plan has been thrown off course (doesn't seem like it could affect it that way...). I hope the feathers meant that Horo was the one who went to see Deanna and not Amarty.

D: So I second what you're saying. |
| i think the fact that he paid in gold coins means he knows lawerance has a plan with the silver ones, but it will be annoying for him since he has to pay a specific amount, and like he said "the service charges must have been expensive for this" which might mean it will hinder lawerance's plan a bit its confusing but ithink they will explain in the next episode. |

| OMG. Can't wait to see what Horo will do.Needs more, now. >.> Kenaya said: Epic tension! I have no word to explain what I feel now! This is check and mate! Oh yes. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |
| It's still episode five and we're still getting cliffhangers about this arc. I'm not sure if this season will accomplish finishing the story, despite I haven't hear of a third season. dbaranyi said: Lawrence is turning into much more of a gambler than a trader. That makes this season really interesting - seeing him act as something different than just any smart merchant. |
  |
| Ahh this is getting soo good!!! |
 |
| Wasn't Lawrence and Amati's contract for 500 silvers? Was that just a partial payment? It's not like Lawrence would've accepted a partial payment that late anyway, on the grounds that Amati had enough cash on hand to pay the currency exchange fee in the first place. Naked shorting is risky enough as is without a clear contract between the first and second parties. I can't wait to read the LNs, because it's clear that key details are being left out of the anime. insan3soldiern said: I guess I must be one of the few who thinks this season has been better than the first so far. But, then again most people's excuses for this are no better than "needs moar Horo!" And in addition to that, the ridiculous excuse that this "arc" is too long. And like I mentioned above, key details are already being omitted -- moving the anime along at a faster pace would water down the economics to an unrecognizable level. |

| Horo is going to trick Armati in the end in favor of Lawrence in the end right when Lawrence is about lose! I trust Holo enough to think this is something the Wise Wolf would do!!!! XD |

| dafuq is holo doing really... damn she can be really stubborn... I do hope everything works out in the end though! |
 |
| I like the whole love-triangle thing^ ^ Wonder what's gonna happen next! |
 |
| Did anyone else find it odd that there was a full moon in this episode? One or two episodes back, the ending shot (IIRC) was of the sky with a crescent moon. |
| I can't handle much more of this. I was wondering what Holo was doing all that time. |
 |
| What a cliffhanger. But the preview for the next episode looks promising. But something keeps bothering me. What if Horo is acting like that for a purpose. Like to test Lawrence or something. Anyway, hope the next episode will reveal the truth. |
 |
| Amarty is just as good of a merchant as Lawrence is, if not better. He thought of everything to stay one step ahead of Lawrence. I guess it'll come down to a radical act by Lawrence or Holo turning down Amarty. I thought it was funny how Amarty had it planned that the deal would happen when the bell in the tower rang. I was kinda sad to see that Holo didn't even look in Lawrence's direction when Amarty said he was going to go talk to him. Side note, the chibi art during the ED is soo cute :D |

| So glad I am coming a few years late to this. I don't think I could deal with it if I had to wait a week to watch the next episode. i don't think I have yelled at my screen more for any other show. I just can't wait until this all gets resolved and holo goes back to Lawrence! Not sure I can take more of this.... phantom19 said: Amarty is just as good of a merchant as Lawrence is, if not better.

| Lawrence: are there any stories of Pagan gods mating with humans? me: have you heard of Mr God-whore Zeus? |
| i don't know everything i just know what i know... |
| I wonder who's that mysterious buyer from Diana. The most obvious reponse would be Amarthy. Mark is so funny, being all poetic like that xD So now, everything is going to be played in the next episode. I still don't know exactly when Lawrence want Lant to get in the action, but what Lawrence need to do is sell a lot of pyrite, then throw the rumor about the wheat. So there will be a lot of pyrite for a bit of buyer. All his strategy is based on that. Amarthy was arrogant at the end, so was Holo. The preview left me confused. If she bite a person hand, it's to get blood and if she get blood, she transform. Why would she tranform in first place? |

| This ep was probably the best ep so far, i really really loved the conversations between Mark and Lawrence. diablo99939 said: So glad I am coming a few years late to this.

My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| I like this season much more than the first. It seems like the episodes just fly right by!! |

| Why is everyone complaining about "arc length" and "lack of Holo"? That's what's making this season/development better than the last season. -.-; Anyway, I already made it clear that I disagree with how Holo is handling the situation. However, I do think the feathers in her hair (which were arranged in the same manner as Lawrence's wheat present from the first episode of the season, btw) indicate that she was the one who saw Deanna before Lawrence. I'm taking that to mean she's on his side, but it could honestly be read either way. I feel bad for Lawrence; he's so stressed out that he's making mistakes. The side characters are much better than they were last season. Mark, Lanty, Bartose, Deanna, they all seem relevant, unlike Chloe or even (to an extent) Nora. That combined with the better plot progression makes this season considerably better than the last one. |
| Looks like Amarty's one step ahead of Lawrence.. Or is he? I guess the next EP will show who will win the duel.. Btw, when Holo was at the side of Amarty at the end made me cringe a bit.. It left me a bitter taste after this EP.. I just hope everything would be back to normal with her and Lawrence.. |
 |
| Seeing Lawrence get cucked was a gratifying experience. It's really opening up his character. |

Ah, but he thinks that he's saving her from a debt that she can't repay herself. That's just some bs excuse he's using to justify his selfish actions and Holo playing along isn't making it any better. I'm pretty sure Holo has been toying with this kid, with the thought of making a profit out of it, ever since they first met him but it still gets on my nerves >_> |
 |
| Ugh, I just wanted Lawrence to punch blondie in the face this episode, what an arrogant little brat. Also seeing Holo with that douche at the end was hard to watch. Hopefully Lawrence's plan still works, I just want them to get back together already lol :/. |
 |
| Fuck this is going slow, and I already know that Horo is that mysterious buyer, it's pretty obvious. |
| Ugh I really can't stand Amarty. Walking around with that smug look. I hope he loses everything! It was nice to see Diana again. |
 |
| Poor Lawrence is working so hard yet Holo doesn't seem to care :/ |
 |
| They better resolve this soon... for the last 2 episodes I wanted to scream at Lawrence:"JUST TELL HER HOW YOU TRULY FEEL ABOUT HER YOU DUMB IDIOT!" |
| The plot has been pretty dope in these past episodes. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| What the hell is going on, this show sucks right now. Lawrence is repeatedly gambling everything he has and nearly losing. Just kill him, Holo and Amarty and end the show. I hate this anime at the moment. |
 |
| What a great character development for Lawrence... but that ending I hope his plan is still in tact. |
| Hm pretty boring episode, I thought that that other dude would be ahead of him. |
| I don't like where things are going. Like... Come on, Holo, you've spent months travelling with Lawrence, got saved by him and saved him yourself. And now she just decides to choose a white knighting kid who just fell in love with her and decided to propose to her almost that very moment? But this smug in the end and a thing with contract... I feel something's going down. |
[right]=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=:=  |
| Decent episode, felt more like a transition to the big episode that would determine Lawrence, Holo and Amarti's futures in this whole gamble. Lawrence is going all-in on the gambling since he is that desperate to not lose his 'cargo' like that. Nice for Batos, Diana and even Marc in the end to be willing to help out Lawrence like that though, now it's all in the fate of the market as it determines the value of pyrite by the end of the day, and whether or not Amarti would marry Holo or whether Holo would go back to Lawrence cause in the end, the duel is really Holo vs Lawrence, not Amarti vs Lawrence. |
