![]() Maybe it’s because when I first saw Spice & Wolf I was still fully in love with economics and even working on my degree in business economics, whereas at some point later in life I got jaded and started seeing how much of a scam the system is at times. I find some of the plot points in this series quite contrived. This story was very cute and short and I enjoyed it very much. Holo definitely loves the sound of it at the very least. Also, Holo learns about Apple pie during this volume, which I don’t really like because I have a thing against warm fruit (or fruit that was warm at some point), but a lot of people really love it. Weisz and Holo have some fun at Lawrence’ expense, which is the moral of the entire series, and the three end up going drinking together. The story does get to a point though, as they need to exchange some money at the local cambist, which we met in the first volume and goes by the name of Weisz. But eating a hundred apples in a couple days? That’s madness. Meanwhile the plums started to turn worse after like three days. I ate an apple today actually, as of writing this, which we bought a week ago and it still tasted perfectly fine. It helps even more if you store some of them in the fridge. Now in my experience, apples actually stay decent for a lot longer than most fruits. This story tells the tale of Holo and Lawrence buying warm clothes to prepare for the journey up north as well as Holo trying to eat a hundred apples in a short time. This short story, as well as the novella before, were published on the Dengeki website. It shows Holo and Lawrence having a little bit of downtime after their encounter with the church in the very first volume. This second story is a lot shorter than the first but that does mean it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Or how did the song go again? Close enough right. The red of the apple, the blue of the sky It seems a bit weird to me if I’m honest. Either I’m missing something here, or they literally made a 10 year old kid fear for his life just so he can man up a little bit. It is then that Holo reveals she was in on it all along and they were just playing a prank, supposedly to make Klass more manly. ![]() Similar to Holo in a sense, this creature eventually attacks the party, sending Holo flying through the air and losing a fight to Klass. Throughout this they get chased by the people from the manor and find themselves in a dense forest. She helps the two kids travel to the next village because they have no idea what they’re doing. We see her when she’s younger and before she ever settled in Pasloe. She is the bread and butter of the franchise after all. That’s right, it wouldn’t be a Spice & Wolf story without Holo. And it’s on that premise the two come across a familiar face. Aryes often asks Klass about things they find and Klass has to make up things on the spot based on the limited knowledge he does have. Klass is a servant boy who is a bit more knowledgeable about the world albeit only just barely. ![]() Aryes is a very sheltered daughter who has spent her entire young life inside. At the very least that’s how the story goes, Holo does question the legitimacy of it but we never really find out. The noble’s brother kicked them out after the noble died. It follows Klass and Aryes who have had to leave the comfort of their home. Our first story is also the longest of the three stories. The boy and the girl and the white flowers There are three stories in this one, so let’s look at each of them and I’ll give you my thoughts on them. At least in this one, maybe in the next one our protagonists aren’t present at all. These volumes consist of side stories that aren’t a part of the main storyline but still involve Holo (and Lawrence) in some way. We’ve arrived at the first Side Colors! I know there’s at least two of them since I have up till volume 11 on my shelf, which is Side Colors II. ![]()
