Don't like this arc as much as the others, but seeing Horo is just what matters. :D

Wonder who this Rigolo guy really is, also about this Northern Expedition. I don't like this new tomboyish girl too. She'll just make Horo jealous! :(

Onward to the next episode.

Kinda boring episode. I know I'm supposed to be pissed off with Lawrence taking things too slowly, but I'm also pissed off with Horo. How long before she realizes that flirting and getting hammered aren't working? If he agrees to "relax" when she simply asks him to, why not try that approach instead?

It's so cute when Horo's ears flop back when she went to sleep. :-)

Great response to that barmaid!

I don't buy Eva's reasons for taking an interest in Lawrence. She's fishy.

The barmaid annoyed the heck out of me. DX Her voice hurt my poor ears.

Kind of an uneventful episode... Though, the last character that appeared - Fleur, she said? But Fruhl, others are saying here - seems interesting. I highly doubt any of these other female characters could come between Horo and Lawrence, though Horo might get a tiny bit jealous, I imagine.

Nice to see Lawrence notice Holo's tension when talking to the old guy (was it the mention of the old "Tanner" lady?) and taking her hand in his. Good episode, learned a little and brought in new characters for the next arc.

Horo is still the heart of this series.

Is it only me who smells third season? At the very least I really want to believe it'll exist at some point. Anyway, this is one of my most favorite episodes - I enjoyed it lightheartedly. Abe is an interesting person nonetheless, I just wonder if Holo can restrain herself from ruining the bond between Lawrence and Abe.

With respect to the script, this was one of the tightest episodes of either season. The dialogue was sharp and witty, and the direction was solid and inventive -- Imagin didn't use camera angles this creative in the first season.

Two examples of why I love the second season's direction:

Lawrence has his own little harem going on, no wonder he wants to settle down here. (With Holo hopefully)

And of course the flirty waitress is played by Brittney Karbowski, which seals the deal for me... BRING ON THE ROMANTIC TENSION AND JEALOUSIES!

I guess I was wrong. Holo getting jealous is a worry that Lawrence has and so we might see a reversal of what happened with Amarty. The bar waitress was also rather flirty. Even though Lawrence seems like a dense guy he still is getting better at talking - it must be due to his experience as a merchant.

Also, I really hope they kiss by the end. I'm going to be very sad if they don't. We got that attempt by him in season 1 but it was stopped. You can't tease me like that!!

This episode was good. I bet in the next one Horo will smell a scent of woman on Lawrence. And then the jealousy will start. But still consider it a payback from the Amaty part.

Lawrence has become quite smooth with the ladies. It's cute to watch, lol. Every time Horo and Lawrence hug, my heart roars for a kiss.

I'm not sure if I had a faulty translation but I didn't understand the reply Lawrence gave to the barmaid about whether he was married. The subs said 'She hasn't gotten ahold of my purse but she has me by the reins'. I don't understanding what a purse has to do with a marriage.

Him and Holo are always joking about who's in control of their relationship, or who "has the reins", which is their way of debating whether they're in a serious relationship yet. In other words, she has control of his wallet = he's willing enough to let her spend his money; she doesn't have control of his reins = he's still allowed to look at other women, meaning they're not going steady/married.

Lawrence is a women magnet xD

That new girl is really interresting. I though she was a gloomy hermit, but yeah, she really is a babbler :P

Can she be a rival to Holo? But no one can win against Holo, so I'm do not worry.

That maid at the tavern was such a cutie.

She represents the perfect human partner for Lawrence. If Horo had never met him, Fruhl would be his soulmate.

I was thinking the same thing, though I wouldn't use the word "soulmate", since I think that implies something different. If they were "soulmates", Lawrence would be better off with Fleur than Holo.

In any case, Fleur is quite interesting.

The bar maid getting flirty with Lawrence.. That was a nice response from him when she asked him if he has a wife..
Sorry girl, he's taken haha!

Fleur though.. I wonder what's her role.. She seems to be an interesting character..
Looking forward to the rest of the EP's!

So this is becoming a harem now? Waitress and merchant both flirting with Lawrence? Lawrence is an idiot though. I kind of hate him as the MC.

The waitress is better than Holo. Holo is a pain. And after Amerty I cannot look at her the same.

Unpopular opinion but I found Fleur's conversation with Lawrence to be better, charming, and interesting than most of Lawrence's previous conversations with Holo. Felt like two friends bantering with each other around, even though they both were really just strangers to each other who happen to both be interesting merchants. Nothing too flashy or flirty, but it was really fun and witty too, Fleur's definitely a helpful comrade for Lawrence to be on good terms with... as long as Holo doesn't kill him for making acquaintances with her.

I still like Holo as a character and love interest in the show for someone like Lawrence, but some cheeky banter at times with just acquaintances feels refreshing at times I won't lie.

I thought this was a very good episode although still lacking a bit in the narrative department so far. It's definitely up for the slow build though, hope that picks the pace up a bit in the next two episodes.

I feel like Holo as a character has seriously degraded now. I get she's very clearly head-over-heels in love with Lawrence, but there seems to be absolutely nothing else on her mind besides being flirty and overly-emotional with him. Much of the sass, confidence and wisdom she once had has vanished and she's now acting like a lovestruck teenager rather than the 700 year old wise wolf that she actually is.
