two more episodes till the ending of an awesome and cute anime
horo's moeness this level reached the tsuntsun level. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
lawrance catching horo = awesome part.
lol at the way they were practicing some kind of drama xD
horo really is a unique character
the plan seems something quite.... dangerous, but also something that may work.... writer = smart, really clever, and probably wise..... just like horo xD
i just feel sorry for nora to be the one doing all the dangerous stuff... she is quite cute.
i also love how at the end nora was so decided xD
the ending was cute with horo hugging lawrance like that from the back.
/wants more, but has to wait

Horo is basically the only reason I love this anime. Everything else is wonderful, but... without Horo? Kinda not as good... at all.

Hm I think Lawrence is pretty cool too.
But yeah. Horo is the number one reason.

Very nice episode. I figured the counterplan would somehow involve Norah but not sure what. Interesting plan with the gold. Very much looking forward to seeing this played out.

Loved the make up between Lawrence and Horo that more than made up for the ending last episode, and they're off to make a massive gamble, but gold smuggling, it should have been obvious but slipped my mind. Still Lawrence is the man =P

I don't dislike her and I find it quite refreshing to have a non-tsunderekko play the main part. Plus, I love her character design. But I can't really get to love her. Can't quite put my finger on it though...
Okay, Horo-fanboys, start beating me up! T_T

Apart from that, I really liked the episode. I'm curious how they're going to pull this off. I hope no sheep gets hurt. xD

Smuggling of gold, huh? Wonder if it'll work out for them.

Horo and Lawrence act was also awesome, lol. I guess Horo likes man who's a softy, atleast that's what I think. XD

Very nice episode. Good luck to Nora for accepting such a dangeroous job. So, she only accepted it because Lawrence was the one who asked her, awwww. :)

I loved this episode as i've loved them all but, cyruz is right, something is missing, there just wasn't really much happening and considering not much usually happens this means the story was just about plotting. Boo.

still loved it though but maybe i'm just soft hearted XD

Once again a very strong episode for a very strong series. The writing continues to be great, and Horo and Lawrence are just fantastic characters. I freaking love this show.

Another really good episode. So, there's two episodes left, obviously I can see why there's a 2nd seaon. I'm starting to wonder if the 2nd season can even end the story. I'm feeling quite teased though, will Lawrence give up his dreams to travel with Horo? Guess I may find out some day. If Horo wasn't a god I'd ask her to dinner myself :P . I liked the drama in these last two episodes, I'm hoping they have more like that some of them just seemed to drift by.

I thought that it was going to be more dramatic, considering what had happened in the previous episode. But still I'm surprised, maybe that girl is not so innocent as Holo claims.

I wonder what she is hiding.

Yayy~ A great episode in many ways. Of course Nora was going to be involved in the plan - figured that it had to be the case at the end of the last episode. I thought they might hide the gold in the wool of the sheep, somehow -- maybe be embedding it with needles and thread (Nora could do it, couldn't she? If she's going to be a tailor...) but I guess not...

The scenes with Horo and Lawrence were nice. :) I'm glad that Horo was mad at him for "the right thing". She didn't get angry because he got mad at her for like two seconds in the last episode, but because he didn't get mad even though so much is her fault. And the ending scene... Adorable.

Loving this anime so much. The business aspect is completely new to me and I loved economics in high school so it's already a plus. Now, when we add the romance aspect of this anime... WOW. Talk about AMAZING! I have to go finish this off right now and start on season 2. Thanks to lisnoire for the recommendation!

My thoughts exactly. I just hope that they won't get betrayed by Lemerio san. I was just wondering why Holo was not kawaii enough in this episode, honestly I expected her to be way more... kawaii in such a moment.

So Holo left for the inn not because she was angry at being lashed out at, but because she thought Lawrence didn't do it enough. So being unreasonable and abandoning him was an attempt to make her even more susceptible to blame and after yelling their feelings out they could continue from more neutral position? Well she understood most of the situation, but Holo is usually more cunning than that. And Lawrence sure has superhuman willpower and patience.

I wonder what the twists is going to be with Noora or Remerio. Hope the plan won't go as boringly smoothly as rescuing Holo went earlier.

It wasn't just about saving her own face, it would be terribly unfair for her to snap at him (especially given how much worse she had just made his situation). Plus, he was obviously shocked and sorry for what he did, so it was awful of her to be angry with him. But she didn't have the willpower to stop being angry, and she couldn't vent at him because he wasn't angry either, so she left before she caused a bigger incident. No one said she was perfect :)

He needs to have some kind of superhuman trait for a superhuman being to fall for him, I guess.

Yeah, my analysis kind of assumes the motivation behind her actions there is that she wants to be blamed but in the end underestimates how much of a good guy Lawrence is so she ends up just feeling humiliated and embarrassed.

I'm so used to thinking Holo is always perfectly calm and calculating when it counts so bringing up she wasn't able to contain her emotions makes that a very good and interesting interpretation. It is probably true as well.

Actually it comes across more clearly in the novels that this is the case, but you're right - the story makes Holo much more of an enigma than Lawrence. Even so, if we didn't have the benefit of him being the main protagonist, he'd probably be pretty tough to read as well.

I actually missed that point last time, that Lawrence probably would have gotten help if Holo wasn't there. They really do care a lot about each other; Holo gets angry with him for not getting more angry at her for being there. Of course Lawrence isn't going to blame her for that - he's too softhearted (haha).

Yes! So they will help Nora to get away from her employer while benefiting themselves. This is going to be interesting.

Holo being flirty at the end was sweet...can never get enough of the two of them

I hope they will succeed with this plan. Like the way Lawrence apologized to Horo.
At least she didn't run away like in all the other anime's in which they usually do.

And poor Nora. The Church wants to get rid of her. If she is a skilled shepherd it doesn't mean that she is a witch. I bet if you would show a card trick in that age you would be accused of being a sorcerer.

But anyway this episode was fine.

Great episode, I loved Holo getting mad at Lawrence for not being more angry with her. That repeat was great too, especially coupled with the emotional music. Made me laugh. Interested to see how this plan plays out, and glad that it involves Nora. Seems like it will be a nice finale for the season.

That domestic dispute at the beginning was so cute :3

That's a clever and well-crafted plan. Though, I wonder if they can trust that guild leader and why did he call for Liebert? What did he tell him?

I didn't though that shepherd was suspected of sorcery... I hope she made out well out of this mess.

If Lawrence plan work out, he'll be able to repay his debt and sell is armors later or in another town.
