| Kraft Lawrence, a traveling merchant, arrives in the town of Pasloe just as the traditional harvest festival begins. While resting outside the town, he discovers Holo, Pasloe's harvest deity, in his cart. Holo persuades Lawrence to take her back to her home in the north. While resting at a church, a young merchant named Zheren approaches Lawrence and tells him about a profitable scheme involving the purity of silver coins, though Holo senses that Zheren is lying. After reaching the next town, Pazzio, and selling his load of furs at the Milone Company, Lawrence (with Holo's help) figures out the motive behind Zheren's scheme, and how he can profit from it. |

| Lawrence and Holo return to the Milone Company to enlist their help in profiting from Zheren's scheme. Later, men from the Medio Company, which is working with Zheren, try to ambush Lawrence and Holo. Holo acts as a decoy, allowing Lawrence to reach the Milone Company. Lawrence negotiates with the Milone Company, persuading them to help him rescue Holo. After freeing Holo, Lawrence learns that his friend from Pasloe, Yarei, is also working with the Medio Company, and plans to hand Holo over to the church to prevent the Milone Company from interfering with their scheme. With Yarei and the Medio Company searching for them, Lawrence and Holo attempt to escape through the sewers of Pazzio. |

| As the Medio Company's men and Yarei close in on them, Lawrence and Holo try to find their way out of Pazzio. Lawrence is stabbed by one of the pursuers, and the two are soon cornered. Yarei attempts to convince Lawrence to hand Holo over, but he refuses. As the Medio men prepare to kill Lawrence, Holo transforms into her true form - a giant wolf - and defeats them. However, Lawrence's fear of Holo's true form hurts her, and she abandons him as he loses consciousness. He awakens at the Milone Company, where he receives his share of the profits from the scheme in pepper and reconciles with Holo. Later, they travel to Poroson, the next town, to sell the pepper at the Latparron Company. |

| At the Latparron Company, Holo uncovers the shop owner's plan to swindle Lawrence. In exchange for not exposing the owner's dishonesty, Lawrence persuades the owner to sell him a large load of armor on margin (meaning that he is in debt to the company until he sells the armor). While en route to Ruvenheigen, the travelers meet Norah Arendt, a young shepherdess, who convinces Lawrence to hire her to protect them from wolves, despite Holo's objections. After going their separate ways at the Ruvenheigen city wall, Lawrence goes to the Remelio Company to sell his armor, where he learns that the armor's price has crashed and that he is now deeply in debt. |

| The Remelio Company demands that Lawrence repay his debt in two days or face bankruptcy. After unsuccessfully trying to get other merchants to lend him money, Lawrence blames Holo for his failure in a moment of desperation, and she leaves him, returning to the inn. Afterwards, Lawrence tries to apologize to Holo, who lashes out at him for not being angry at her. After they reconcile, Holo devises a plan to smuggle gold into the city by carrying it in the stomachs of Norah's sheep, and the two persuade the Remelio Company and Norah to participate. The next day, Lawrence, Holo, and Norah set off to Lamtra with Liebert (the Remelio Company's representative) and acquire the gold, but are attacked by wolves on the return trip. |

| Holo tells the others, including Lawrence, to leave her behind, so that she can deal with the wolves. Afterwards, while waiting for Holo, Lawrence is attacked and bound by three men from the Remelio Company, who plan to kill Norah and keep the proceeds from the smuggling for themselves. Lawrence frees himself and finds Holo, and tells her of their betrayal. Holo transforms into her true form, takes Lawrence on her back, and catches up with Liebert and the Remelio men, ravaging them before they can kill Norah. After taking the gold from Liebert and giving it to Norah, Lawrence goes to the Remelio Company with Holo, where they blackmail the owner into buying the gold from them for 500 gold coins - enough to cover Lawrence's debt. Later, Lawrence and Holo reunite with Norah, who has successfully brought the gold into the city. |

| Holo and Lawrence visit a church in Tereo, a small northern village, hoping to meet a priest that might have information about Yoitsu, Holo's birthplace. Upon arrival, Elsa, the deaconess, tells them of the priest's recent death and sends them away. Elsa is in fact the priest's daughter, and is locked in a dispute with Enberch, the neighboring town, which seeks to take advantage of her father's death to regain control of Tereo. Lawrence and Holo later manage to persuade Elsa to let them read her father's writings, but their study is interrupted when Tereo is accused of selling poisoned wheat to Enberch - a ploy to force Tereo to submit to Enberch's control. Facing threats from the townspeople, who blame them for poisoning the wheat, Lawrence, Holo, Elsa, and Evan (the town's miller) are forced to escape. However, while on the run, Lawrence realizes that, with Holo's help, Tereo can be saved. |
