The episode begins with a woman telling the story of a wolf who promised a village a bountiful wheat harvest and kept that promise for a long time. However, once the villagers became self-sufficient, they forgot about the wolf, and his tales faded into mere legends.
Kraft Lawrence, a traveling merchant, encounters knights on his way to a village who tell him about a pagan festival nearby. In the village, preparations are underway for the harvest thanksgiving festival, where the name of Holo, the wolf deity associated with the harvest, is worshipped. Lawrence meets Yarei, a village girl chosen to embody Holo for the year, amid celebrations for the successful harvest—which are credited more to the leadership of the new feudal lord than to the deity Holo.
Lawrence, unwilling to spend the night in the village due to prior commitments, discovers a stowaway in his cart who reveals herself to be Holo. She expresses her desire to leave the village, feeling forgotten and unnecessary. Despite initial fear and skepticism, Lawrence agrees to take Holo with him.
The episode ends with Holo confirming her identity as the wise wolf and expressing her wish to return to the north. She dons Lawrence's clothes, and they set off together—the beginning of their journey.
