In Episode 22, Lawrence and Holo arrive at the church in the village of Tereo, where they meet Elsa. At first, they pretend to be there to pray, but Lawrence soon admits that he lied and wants to know if the church is the Abbey of Diendran and if Franz Louis is the abbot's steward. Holo shows Elsa her wolf ears, causing Elsa to faint.
When Elsa regains consciousness, she is confronted with the reality of Holo's nature. Lawrence assures her that they will leave if she shares the stories collected by Franz with them, which Holo needs to find her way back to her homeland, Yoitsu. Elsa leads them to a hidden underground room in the church containing books and letters. She allows them to read the books only within the church.
While Holo searches the underground room, Elsa and Lawrence discuss Franz's stories, with Elsa relieved to learn they are not fabricated. Later, Elsa expresses her fear that the god worshipped by Tereo might be a false god, as Franz's writings suggest. Lawrence agrees with Franz, but their discussion is interrupted by Sem, who needs to speak with Elsa.
When they return to the room where Holo is reading, Lawrence and Holo talk about their future and the books. Holo senses Evan's approach, and Lawrence decides to keep Holo's wolf identity hidden from him, trusting that Elsa will not reveal it either. Elsa, worried about her faith and the consequences for her people, suggests discussing the matter later.
As they continue reading, Lawrence discovers a story about a moon-chasing bear that may have destroyed Yoitsu. He tells Holo about it, who promises to examine the story closely. Tension rises when Sem confronts Lawrence, warning him of a death in Enberch Town related to Tereo's wheat.
