Some cheesy yet amazing drama between Holo and Lawrence, considering that Holo is very special to Lawrence. So another risky plan to pay off his dept... smuggling gold. Using Nora as a nice shepherd and putting gold on the sheep, I think the plan will work... well probably.

Great episode. It looks like the first season will be wrapped up with this little arc, which has most certainly proven to be the most entertaining part of the series for me.

Though I don't think I understand how smuggling gold can turn such a huge profit.

Okay, big swirl of thoughts with this episode.

Holo's reaction was unexpected, which I find ironic since it's obvious that Lawrence is in a tight spot. Totally blaming herself was a bit much, but overall it was nice to see a forgiving response that cut Lawrence some slack; I mean, really, everyone needs second chances.

Why is it so uncommon to find someone in a story not taking a situation and making it more dramatic? It's quite refreshing.

In any case, I still kinda feel bad for Nora; I'm a bit surprised that she agreed. I wish we knew more about her.

Nice development, in any case.

The church has heavy import duties on the gold, making it unprofitable to import it normally. By getting it in duty-free (and therefore illegally), one could make an enormous profit due to lack of supply.

Holo being angry at Lawrence for not being angry at her lol.. Lawrence being too good-natured haha!
Such a loving couple~

I'm liking the developments but I wonder if they can pull this off.. Smuggling is a very big risk.. If they fail, then it's pretty much goodbye..
Looking forward to the next!

I'm quite fond of how the characters and their interactions are handled. There are several layers to them and the way the argument was resolved was rather unconventional and pleasant.

But how will the plan with the sheeps work ? XD

I'm not sure if their plans are just really simple or if I'm too stupid to understand the complexity behind it.

Such a good show so far. I actually enjoy the economics far more than expected, and the character relationship building is enjoyable.

I've got to say though, my opinion of Holo has shifted a bit over the series. Initially, there was a charm; but the charm has exposed a bit more of a self-entitled tsundere side that's just a bit too much for me to not be considered off-putting. It's this combo with Lawrence's painfully walk-all-over-me-please approach that just makes me shake my head sometimes. As I'm writing this I should clarify that it's not necessarily Holo's often harsh remarks of Lawrence that are the most off putting, but more how Lawrence handles them. It's... disappointing. If he handled her properly throughout the show, she'd be delightful with all the games she plays. However, seeing her just lay him out with words again and again is simply painful to watch. Sigh. Oh wellll. He's just a big pussy, I suppose.

Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying this series though :D

Solid episode and a better one I'd say than the previous couple ones. The plan is definitely a gamble if caught but if successful, would turn out to be really beneficial for Lawrence and the Lemerio Company at hand. Good that they have the faith of the shepherd who was willing to help them out with the plan by sneaking gold through with the help of the sheep's stomachs containing them. Not like they can scan inside their stomachs so it has a chance of working out for the parties at hand. Nice as well seeing Holo and Lawrence make up, even though Holo's still worried about how good-natured Lawrence is without ripping her apart, even when he's at his lowest point.

I don't trust that Remerio fellow one bit. The church can go to hell as well.

I wonder if Nora is trustworthy or not?

Another solid episode for me. I loved that Holo and Lawrence made up with each other, and made a plan to pay back the debt by smuggling gold elsewhere with Norah coming along for the ride. It’s a shame that there isn’t that many episodes left of this show cuz I really have enjoyed the dynamic between the duo in particular.
Sure I’ve got another season but at the same time it’s weird that I’m watching this when news for a remake had been announced just as I started watching the show. It’s a risky plan but they can pull off just fine.

Mercenaries appear to be synonymous with bandits in this anime, which is surprising. A mercenary is a hired gun who takes on requests solely for pay, but I don't think they're roaming marauders who randomly attack travellers, usually.

I can never predict how Holo is going to react to anything
Every conversation between her and Lawrence seems to be some variation of "I am Holo the wise wolf" followed by her laughing at Lawrence for some reason.. along with the occasional tantrum

From a stupid ep 10, this is a great episode As expected, Holo comes up with a plan to help Lawrence, and it involves Norah.

More Holo x Lawrence moments. Nice. Except they had to pretend after Holo got upset. Lawrence is a surprisingly nice and simple guy tbh. So far, I don't see him actually being into Holo aside from some simple fondness. Instead, Holo seems to be the one who really holds Lawrence in an endearing position. It's the opposite of what I expected when I started this anime. I wonder if the feelings will ever become real at some point. Either way, I'm loving it.

The Wise Wolf strikes again. This time her genius plan is... smuggling gold, something that's highly illegal in that town. I should've known that this was going to be the way they make money after how it was talked about in previous episodes. It seems like the perfect plan. If nothing goes wrong that is.
