| Needs more Horo in this ep and thank god the kiss scene was just a thought. |
 |
| I dun care! I'm gonna keep calling her Horo! |
     |
| remember last season, Holo already hinted that, Lawrence already let god's chance slip away from his fingers a few times? All of a sudden this marriage contract reminds me of that... (although back then, he did get the 'chance' she mentioned); However, I think Holo is also taking a gamble at this situation: that, even though Lawrence was betting everything on Holo to solve this issue, she's relying on his eagerness of getting himself out of this sh-thole and get Holo back to his side; In many episodes we do see that Holo flirted with Lawrence but somehow he bluntly shrugs them off; it's a "hint" for lawrence from holo that 'you need to take me more seriously now'. ps. when holo mentioned that "oh yea, i do have someone that can cherish me a lot (Amarty) wouldn't she also have thought of the fact that the day of his death will be in a blink of her eye as well, just like lawrence? |
| Website http://akariREMOVED.co.cc/sig/sig.php is reporting as Malware. |
| I don't know why Horo got so mad, It wasn't that big of a deal. Plus, she signed a fucking marriage certificate? WHAT THE FUCK. How could you do that to Lawrence. FFS. *RAGE* Lawrence better own Amarty. |
| ^I REALLY doubt it. She got information out of Amarty to help Lawrence. When Lawrence and Amarty met up afterwards to talk, Amarty would have given it out someway since that's how he seems to be, and that same attitude would mean he wouldn't have sex with Horo before marriage (although being a young man who's blinded by illusions, that wouldn't really matter). |
「Godspeed You! Black Emperor」 |
| Man oh man I can't wait to see the look on Amarty's face when the price of pyrite plummets.. or will it! and for some reason deep in the back of my mind, I still think this is one of her tricks. :D eRe4s3r said: Also , if japanese VA says Horo, her name is Horo, not Holo (like holodeck?) Maybe the voice cast needs to get a grip and learn pronouncing L and R properly.. But they are saying Holo, just not how someone like us would say Holo ra, ri, ru, re, ro Its how they say it, and understand it, so I don't see it changing any time soon, its confusing for us yeah, but to their usual audience its fine |

| lol @ make up sex pretty ok episode. lots of economics |
| yeha good ep. seem like things will going like plan. but i cant help but think that some trouble will show up. |
     |
| It looks like things are turning out well for Lawrence, although with all the plot twists in this series that could change at a moments notice. But it's Holo no Horo O_O? That came as a surprise. |
| lol, don't distribute this on the interwebs, but be sure to seed! Nice ep, the dialogue scenes were virtually incomprehensible, but that's what makes Spice and Wolf so great! Not enough Horo time though... |
     |
| oh really? XD but things are exciting, and im trying to pretend i didn't watch the next episode already :P but now im out of them,can't download the 6th due to traffic limits where i am now >.< |
 |
| Omg, Horo signed the marriage contract? I wonder what she's planning to do. Also wondering who's going to win this duel between Lawrence and Amati. Very good episode. I'm enjoying this more than the first season. Hoping that Horo would stay by Lawrence's side. |
| I am looking forward to Lawrence and his master plan to stop Amarty. This episode lacks Horo scenes, and I'm glad that kiss scene was just a thought. Seriously, it is getting intense because I really want to watch the next episode now. |
| Fantastic episode and I respect the lengths that Lawrence is going for Horo. I refuse to use Holo btw. |

| wow wishy washy episode here |
 |
| We saw almost no Horo this episode and also I wonder what made her sign that contract. |
| I hope all goes well for Lawrence. It seems like such a risky business deal. |
| It is obvious that the little brat is gonna get his ass kicked . Horo was just depressed , she'll scream and turn the "marriage certificate" into ashes when she comes back to her normal self. |
| Good episode... Lots of talking about strategy and the like, but it wasn't hard to follow. Lawrence better be able to pull off something to keep from "losing"... Still irritated about Horo! I'm kind of happy I didn't have to see her much in this episode - that probably would've been irritating, seeing as how much she's overreacting. It doesn't seem like she's just doing it as a trick to help Lawrence beat Amarty, so hopefully, at the end of all this, we won't just hear her say, "Oh, yeah, just kidding about everything! I was on your side all along, Lawrence, hoho~". ._. |
| We need more ACTION here! |
| This episode really got me worked up |

| Nice episode, I've almost forgotten how smart Lawrence can be when it comes down to trading. Holo signed marriage, lolz. I can't wait for the next episode! Forever said: That was a nice episode with lots of strategy and gambling. Almost like watching Death Note or Kaiji. This. israfel070 said: Mazui's timing on this episode is shit. The subs during the sell-on-credit scene were unwatchable. ZetaZeta said: I loved how Mazui translated the scolling "Do not distribute on the intarwebs, it's illegal." AceSoldia said: did he really know her town didn't exist since ep 1 season 1?..lawrence needed a lelouch level plan to get back into the game..and he did it.. You're making me watch Code Geass.. |

| IT'S TIME TO DUELLLL!!! |
 |
| Hope Lawrence teaches that punk Amati a lesson. Lawrence and Holo have a great chemistry that should never be ripped apart. |
 |
| lol, I fucking love this show. Faced with a situation similar to Lawrence's, a lesser man would've said to Amati, "I challenge you to a duel! -- pistols at dawn!" While Lawrence, a real man, said "I challenge you to a duel! -- commodity market speculation at dawn!" |

| OMG! This is sooo intense! I didn't know Spice and Wolf could get this intense! I love it! |

| The whole futures business thing was kind of confusing but I liked watching Amati and Lawrence go at it; all for Horo^^ |
 |
| Nice episode I wonder how things will turn out and what Holo will decide! |
 |
| They actually say Horo in the Japanese version? That's just silly, her name is Holo xD Reminds me of Hellsing where they say Arucado, instead of Alucard lol Also, i'm loving these episodes where it's just Lawrence figuring out how to win Holo back! Even though the mathematics parts are kinda confusing, i'm with this storyline %100! |
| Intense episode. Though, I don't like the round a bout way Lawrence is trying to win her back. There needs to be a love confession. |
 |
| Its nice to see Lawrence in a good mood again. And i like the store owned he is a good person. Now the only thing left is to make a few deals and crush Amati. And i hope that Lawrence and Horo will make it up somehow. But i am sure they will. |
 |
| Yeaaa Lawrence you fight for Holo! He was *pissed* after reading that letter. And thank goodness that kiss didn't happen. |
| -Nothing can stay unchanged. Even so, can you still keep on loving this place? -Be still my soul; when change and tears are past, all safe and blessed we shall meet at last. |
| The merchant talk confused me. |
| This was a really great episode. It took me time to understand everything that happened in that episode, but now I'm pretty sure I understand Lawrence bet. So Holo gave him a challenge. She gave him precious information by giving him Armathy financial status, but she signed at the same time the wedding contract. By that, she want to test him. To see were he's ready to go to get her. Lawrence deal with Amarthy seem complicated but is simple in the end. Here's how it goes for those who had trouble understanding it : Lawrence will receive 500 thorenis for the same value of pyrite of the day the deal was made. In the end, whatever happens, Lawrence will receive 500 thorenis. Why did he chose to sell him the value of 500 thorenis in pyrite? Because it was the best Armathy could buy and he knew it because of the information Holo tricked out of him. But where it get interresting is about the conclusion of the deal. Let's use fictionnal number : the day the deal was made, 1g of pyrite valued 100 thorenis, so Lawrence must give him the next day 5g of pyrite. Now there's three possibility : the price raise up, the price stay the same or the price drop. If for exemple, the price of the pyrite the next day was 1g for 150 thorenis, Lawrence would have made a loss of 250 thorenis since he got 500 thorenis for something that valued now 750 thorenis. So what Lawrence is aiming at is droping the pyrite price. About the deal with Mark, I had trouble understanding why he refused, but rethinking about it, he had good reason. As a merchant of the city, people seeing him gambling his money on an easy commerce that isn't his trading type would bring him bad opinion. Since trading at that time was all based on the relation, doing that would ruin all those connection he builded up during all those years. But he did give him a crucial information about the alchemist. And he will in the end circulate that rumor. If all goes well, the price of the pyrite should indeed fall and he would win his bet. It's a really risky bet all based on the action of the other merchant, but if it work, he will have won his duel against Amarthy. It's also what Holo would have wanted him to do. Anyway, this episode was kinda complicate, but really hyped about the next episode. |

| this market battle was way more intense than most of those physical battles from shounen manga lol. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Considering how little I understand about economics and the market, I'm glad that I've been able to keep up so far. This duel of wits is really interesting and reminds me why I enjoyed the first season so much. Especially liked the revelation about the alchemists, I wonder how this is going to turn out. I think Horo signed the marriage contract to test Lawrence's resolve and how serious he really is about continuing the journey with her. |

| This episode makes me proud to be the son of a man who owns a company that trades in futures market |

| I really, really love this anime's dub. That speech Lawrence's shopkeeper friend gave was moving and intense! The OP & ED, too, are growing on me, length by length. ♪ |
 |
| Certainly I'm not the only one who felt that Holo betrayed Lawrence in this episode. I understand that she's challenging him; however, I don't think relationships are something that should be challenged deliberately. It's one thing if an outside difficulty arises (such as in season one), but to essentially say "prove to me that you love me"... I just don't agree with that. They shouldn't have to/need to "prove" it. You shouldn't try to force someone to fight for you. That's the same as pushing them away, as far as I'm concerned. Major respect to Lawrence for taking it in stride. His role with Holo has reversed, with him being the more mature one in this situation. The economics portion of the show is as interesting (and accurate) as usual. |
| The pace has slowed down after that outburst by Holo last EP.. I hope things will work out this time for Lawrence.. Choroshi said: this market battle was way more intense than most of those physical battles from shounen manga lol. Lol.. |

Find it more annoying than anything. Lawrence should just win the market battle and tell Holo to take a hike with her broke white knight wannabe lol. |
