    Craft Lawrence is a young peddling merchant travelling from town to town selling and buying various things to make a living.  Although only 25, Lawrence has already gained several years of experience in the trade business and dreams of one day having enough money to open a shop.  During a stop at the town of Pasroe, Lawrence encounters a female wolf deity named Holo (Horo) who appears as a young 15 year old girl, except she has wolf ears and a tail.  Holo explains that she is the town’s goddess who blesses the land with good harvests.  But over the years, the people have grown wealthy from trading and do not depend on the wolf goddess anymore.  That is why Holo asks Lawrence to let her travel with him. Holo wants to go back to her homeland in the north called Yoitsu, but also is curious about how much the world has changed.
