Synopsis
In the small village of Pasloe, Holo, a mighty wolf god, is honored for blessing the yearly harvest. Over time, however, the townspeople grow more self-reliant, and Holo fades into nothing more than a legend. When the wandering merchant Kraft Lawrence stops in the village, Holo suggests a business arrangement: she will help him if he brings her to her northern homeland, Yoitsu. The shrewd trader realizes Holo has a special talent for reading people's true natures and agrees to her offer. Armed with keen deal-making skills and a persuasive companion, Lawrence moves closer to his dream of owning his own store. But as he journeys across the countryside with Holo, searching for profitable ventures, he starts to realize that his ambitions are gradually changing into something unforeseen.
