Plot Summary: Kraft Lawrence is a traveling merchant going about his business day by day, dreaming of one day settling down and opening up his own business in a town. But when a beautiful girl named Holo—who just so happens to be a centuries-old wolf deity—suddenly shows up in the back of his wagon, Lawrence ends up taking a massive detour from his usual peddling. The pair begins a journey back to Holo's mysterious homeland, with Lawrence conducting as much business as possible along the way in hopes of fulfilling his own dream.
