In the second episode of "Spice and Wolf," Lawrence and Holo continue their journey together. The episode begins with a conversation between Lawrence and Holo about her pride in her tail and ears, which she claims can detect lies and foresee disasters. The two are shown in a room where Holo praises the warmth of the furs they are using, and there is a brief mention of fleas due to the quality of the furs. Lawrence introduces Holo to a priest as his wife, explaining that her face is covered due to burns.
While discussing their goods and future plans, Holo provides insight into the condition of the wheat Lawrence is carrying, explaining that it will not spoil as long as she lives. She suggests that it might be advantageous to store the wheat nearby. The conversation shifts to Lawrence's beard, which Holo finds attractive, and they discuss the importance of maintaining appearances.
Later, Lawrence tells a traveler about his strategy of trading without money through a system called bartering, which piques the traveler's interest. Zheren, a young merchant, approaches Lawrence and Holo, fascinated by their partnership, and proposes that they speculate with foreign currency. Holo is skeptical of Zheren's offer and warns Lawrence about the potential dishonesty of Zheren's information.
Holo and Lawrence eat together, with Holo preferring cooked vegetables over raw ones. The conversation revolves around Lawrence questioning Holo's ability to detect lies, which she confirms, though she admits she isn't always right.
Zheren reveals a plan to profit from a rumor about a change in silver coins, suggesting they could benefit by exchanging the current coins for new ones with a higher silver content. However, Holo distrusts Zheren, and Lawrence wonders what motives might be behind Zheren's possible deceit.
The episode ends with Lawrence and Holo deciding to go along with Zheren's plan to uncover the truth, setting their sights on a meeting in the port town of Pazzio.
