Nora is a good addition and leads to some interesting and funny interactions between Lawrence and Holo - like her being jealous! I hope Lawrence will help her; the way everyone avoided her while she was walking through the town was sad.

Also the seiyuu for Nora did Nagisa from Clannad too. I knew I recognized that voice!

Loved it when Holo said "So you say" twice. She's so adorable especially when she grooms her tail. Also another cute Holo moment: "Don't treat me like a child", and then Lawrence pets her head. Seems like next episode will be very intense.

The characters are great in this show. There is no overarching plot to speak of and not even much relation episode to episode, no real central conflict, just two characters on a journey together. And what characters they are, to support a show based almost solely on their interactions with each other.

Lol @ when she pinched Lawrence & "She'd be perfect if she didn't have a tail"
I love when they are jealous.
That Nora girl annoys me.

Mmmm, I wonder what's the deal with that shepherd, Nora. Everyone in the town seemed afraid of her.

Also, what's with that guy at the end? He seemed really odd. And that place, was it not the Milone guild?

I guess that he'll talk about the shepherd at the merchant guild and that they will fill I'm with some weird rumor about her.

I can sense the hostility between Holo and Nora, but I guess that shepherds and wolves don't get along really well. Nora was a good character so I have no arguments for her, but it looks like Holo is jealous. It's cute when she is jealous and Lawrence pat her in the head, when she can't come in. That ending scene... I have a bad feeling about this.

Ahhh, after all those times Holo made Lawrence "jealous," she finally got a little bit of it in return, and it was so frichen cute. I like Nora a lot; hopefully she'll be a recurring character. The final scene with her where everyone shuts themselves away from her and the priest is staring at her seems awfully harrowing.

Overall, good episode. I really like the atmosphere to this series. Seems so... down to earth.

^Indeed. The scene where everyone hides has increased my curiosity with Nora greatly. I too hope she becomes a recurring character. I get the feeling there's going to be a lot of superstition here.

The Holo/Lawrence dialogues are golden.

I think I'll take a break here. I don't want to burn myself out on such an excellent series.

That ending was rather ominous to say the least. I don't think that chap wishes Lawrence any good. And there's something fishy about the shepherd girl. She's somehow too sweet and wholesome to be true.

Yeah, something is definitely off about Nora, shes just way too sweet and innocent to be genuine. Not to mention when she was walking down the street everyone started moving away from her and closing the windows, even the church dude gave her a funny look. Shes not what she seems. I also have no idea what to think of the dude at the end, but he sounded more derpy than intimidating with that laugh of his lol.

This episode like all the others was great though, there hasn't been a dull moment yet.

Oh and jealous Holo is really cute >_>.

"You don't want any ?"

"Of course I do"

Peuple are avoiding Norah, guess the church is behind it, but why ?

Holo did seem to be bothered by that girl at the beginning, I felt annoyed by Lawrence's decision. The ending was unsettling, seems like big trouble.

I wasn't blown away by this episode in terms of the content in it except the ending where people were looking suspicious at not only the shepherd but Lawrence and Holo too for bringing armory from Poroson, but what prevents the show from getting boring is the fact that Holo and Lawrence both have good chemistry together and with them bantering around with each other, the show never feels dull due to that. Realistically, we only got to know about the shepherd, Nora, this episode that makes Holo a tad jealous and they entered Ruvenheigen with all three looking suspicious for different reasons, that's about it. But the interactions generally what makes episodes like these with the lack of plot still feel breezy to watch. Decent stuff.

Something's up with Nora there, people are hiding from her as Lawrence and Holo are approaching. Is she going to betray them or something? But I can't really say that because we've only just met her though she has mentioned that she works for the church so that may or may not be a good or a bad thing. But considering the church were also the same ones that want Holo dead it's probably not the former. Things can't be good for both Lawrence and Holo though, as those two guys at the end are clearly plotting something if the laughing is any indicator. Regardless of what Nora's role is, I'm still enjoying the duo's company. God their exchanges together are mesmerising to say the least.

With how powerful and underhanded the religious institutions are in this series, it's a small wonder that they shun the shepherd who just arrived to their city. After all, that occupation is associated with integrity and humility, something the church in this series cannot claim to represent. Though it is ironic, considering the religious significance shepherding has.

The horse at the end with the bare minimum frames in its animation was funny too. Violent head banging for the win!

Bruh. Lawrence didn't even consider the fact that Holo's cover might be blown in front of that shepherd. He's really dense sometimes.

The new addition to the cast Norah is interesting. I wonder what her deal is. Jealous Holo is very cute to see.

It's cool that Lawrence was able to reunite with a person he knew for a long time. For a sec I really thought it was his dad and it made sense why he didn't bring Holo inside.

That last scene was really ominous. Wonder what would happen.
