Episode 1 recap and what to expect from episode 2

Spice and Wolf is a story about Kraft Lawrence, a 25-year-old traveling merchant who aims to start his own shop after seven years of traveling. He encounters a wolf-deity named Holo, who is over 600 years old and takes the form of a 15-year-old girl. Holo is the town's goddess of harvest and has been blessed with good wheat harvests for many years.

However, she experiences isolation and disillusionment due to the townpeople's shift away from her protection and their methods of increasing the harvest. Holo is hurt by the townpeople forgetting her promise to a farmer and their criticism of her as a fickle god. She wants to return to her homeland, Yoitsu, and travel to see how the world has changed.

Episode 1 introduces the legend of the Fox God, who promised to protect the villagers' wheat. However, when the harvest was poor, the villagers accused the wolf of eating all the wheat. Every year, the villagers try to catch the wolf sleeping in the last bundle of wheat to ensure a good harvest. The episode then shifts to Kraft Lawrence, a lonely merchant, who encounters a knight who informs him about possible pagan activities in a nearby village.

Lawrence attends the harvest festival, where his childhood friend Yarei represents Holo, the Goddess of Harvest. The village chief believes the village will see prosperity in the future. At night, Lawrence finds a girl sleeping, who reveals she is Holo. Kraft Lawrence refuses to believe her, and she partially returns to her wolf form in exchange for wheat. Bewildered, Lawrence returns to the village, where Yarei invites him for a drink and they chat for a while.
