If so, her tragic worries were not hard to understand. It seemed the adoptive father she'd loved and respected so had not spoken to her about a great many things. Perhaps he had thought they were not relevant to Elsa, that such matters didn't concern her—or perhaps he'd meant her to ponder them on her own. There was no...
When someone asked advice, it was important to maintain confidence and trust. But Holo's displeasure at the change of subject was written large on her face, and she simply looked down at the book she was reading. Lawrence wondered to himself just who it had been, back in Ruvinheigen, that said if you have something to ...

Lawrence knew that no matter how he answered, he would be falling into a trap. He had lost the moment he'd so happily agreed to massage her shoulders. "Though I will admit," started Holo, her nasty smile disappearing as she contentedly lay her head against Lawrence again, "that I did wish to show off a bit." Lawrence s...

"An abbey is a place for prayer. A church is a place for teaching about God. Their aims are entirely separate. Abbeys are built in remote regions with no thought given to guiding people down the correct path. The reason monks may spend their whole lives within one is that there is simply no reason to leave."

Holo shot Lawrence a glance of extreme skepticism, as though to say, "Even if he's lying, nobody could be that ignorant." "Anyone who's seen the sea there during that season will tell you about the black rivers of fish that run through the water." The herring schools were a magnificent sight.

"Oh, that's right." Lawrence turned just as they were walking out the door and looked to Elsa. "About the question you asked me earlier." "I will consider it on my own," she said.

Holo put down the book she held, sitting cross-legged and grasping her ankles, her head low. She seemed in truly dire straits, avoiding looking at Lawrence as though it would blind her to do so. Seeing her on the verge of tears, Lawrence could not help but feel deep concern. Then she spoke. "Come now, you—" Lawrence no...

Although parting with Holo would bring with it the pain of loss, he felt he would be able to give her up. When he took a loss in business, he would spend a few days feeling as though it was the end of the world, only to return to working at making money again as though nothing had happened.

In the pagan town of Kumersun, Diana had told many tales that concerned the bear spirit who destroyed Yoitsu. And near the Church city of Ruvinheigen, Lawrence himself had felt the unmistakable presence of a wolf-god not unlike Holo. And Diana herself was a bird spirit larger than any human.

He motioned with his eyes to Holo—hurry! It could be problematic to explain the key if it was found on them, so he hid it behind the altar as well.

"R-return the wheat...That means..." At the innkeeper's murmur, all gathered there in the circle fell silent. It was Iima who finally spoke.

The door had no lock, and it seemed that if Holo and Lawrence needed to force their way out, it would not be impossible. If they had to come up with a plan, this place was as good as any.

He certainly got right to the point. Lawrence flashed his merchant's smile. "We are nobody of note, I should say. I have already told you who I am." "Yes, you have indeed told me who you are.

The hate-filled gazes that Lawrence and Holo endured were dyed red by the firelight, but now the closing church door blocked them out.

Lawrence untied the coin purse that was fixed at his waist and held it out to Evan. "Any merchant would weep if he lost his coin purse. I'm leaving it with you.

Lawrence sighed and shrugged. "I don't mind paying for it, but don't tear pages out to dry your eyes." He felt it was a fairly good line. Holo grinned, showing her fangs as she looked up.

It was Iima emerging from the living room who interrupted. "The outside world isn't great, either," she said, hands on her hips and a weary expression on her face.

Heading toward the back of the sanctuary where he expected to find Holo, he rounded the second corner only to run face-first into a wall.

"Let us be off, then." She ran, every bit a wolf. Riding on Holo's back was like plunging into freezing water. Her feet were terrifyingly swift.

"It's been a good harvest this year...There's a surplus of rye. No matter where you look, no town can possibly buy the amount this village is looking to sell. To preserve trust, w...
Lawrence had used the village's wheat and the baker's assistance to make cookies. They were not dissimilar to unleavened bread, which was made with flour and water but without the yeast that caused regular bread to rise.

Lawrence chewed his last piece of cookie and thanked whatever god had given him this bittersweet sensation. *** Hello! It has been quite a while. I am Isuna Hasekura, and this is the fourth volume.

For a town to prosper, it had to collect taxes, and to collect those taxes, it had to make people pass through its gates.

"I want to know how I can turn this into a huge gain. That's all. What else would there be?" "You could be trying to avoid a huge loss." Lawrence remembered th...
"What's your source?" It was probably useless to ask—like trying to get a barmaid to tell her real age. "The Church." "Even though they turned their back on you?" Lawrence shot back. Eve shrugged, smiling. "We might have split on bad terms, but everyone knows to leave a few sympathetic contacts behind." Lawrence obviou...

"Odds are, the merchants camped outside the town are taking guesses at how the council decision is going to go and firming up their plans. How many people with money do you think there are in this town?" Posed this question out of the blue, there was no way to be sure—except Lawrence was a merchant. A rough estimate ba...

In any case, if Eve knew about it, then it had to be something that was immediately obvious. The only thing Lawrence could think of was his horse. Then something else occurred to him. He looked back at Eve in disbelief. "That's right. You have your lovely companion." "...That's absurd." Lawrence was now completely hone...

"I'm going on a pilgrimage," said Arold abruptly. The old man had said it every time Lawrence stayed at the inn. But Eve had said "we." That meant that Eve had joined up with Arold. It had to be that he really was going on a pilgrimage, and he was leaving Eve in charge of his assets and inn. And pilgrimages could last ...

"Come, you." Lawrence opened his eyes at the sound of Holo's voice. "...Ugh...is it morning?" It seemed the endless night had been a dream. When Lawrence opened his eyes, he was greeted by light streaming through the window, along with the sounds of a town already bustling about its morning business. Evidently sometime...

He'd prepared himself for her to categorically refuse—or if she had at least said the scheme was too dangerous, that would have been useful information toward determining the truth behind Eve's words. Of course, the deal might be the chance of a lifetime, but if it seemed the danger outweighed the gain, he could let it...

Lawrence was about to quickly say that he wanted to do no such thing, but he noticed what Holo was trying to do and swallowed his words. "You can safely turn your back to me. Right up until you get bitten." Holo smiled, showing her fangs. There probably wasn't a merchant alive who kept track of their debts and obligati...

Lawrence laughed—they had had this conversation before. Time did pass, and people changed. He didn't know whether that was good or bad. But he did know that having a partner to share this with made him happy. "So, then," said Holo. "Yes?" And in any case, her name was deeply engraved on his soul, it seemed. Her thought...

As Lawrence walked down the path, none of the people so much as looked up at him. It would take a keen incantation indeed to rouse them from their sleep. "The blessings of God be upon you," said Lawrence to one of them. It had been hard to tell whether the man was dead or just sleeping, but his eyes now snapped open. "...

The man shook his head. "You don't get it, do you, pal? God said, 'Blessed are the poor,' didn't he? Do you get a warm, happy feeling in your gut from just a piece of crusty black bread and two copper coins?" The man stared hard at Lawrence. "I know I do." Not all wise men wrapped themselves in leather coats. Lawrence ...

But if that was so, something was strange. The statue transactions were a stable source of income—would they be ruined with but a single stumble? Did the Church simply not take Eve seriously, or had they created a distribution system that let them procure the statues themselves? Eve had simply decided to leave the town...
