Wolf and a Tail of Happiness
---
The story in the novel is titled The Red of the Apple, the Blue of the Sky and similarly takes place not long after the events of the previous episode.
Immediately after they decide to go buy winter clothes, Holo successfully grabs Lawrence's hand, unlike in the episode where she misses and he goes on to talk about not having small change. This leads to the following:
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "Holo smiled like a child telling a joke, entwining her fingers around Lawrence's right hand. She was concerned about his coin purse in her own Holo-ish way. Though if it came down to this, having one's purse pitied was humiliating in its own way for a man. The wisewolf seemed to have long since understood the conflict within him. He didn't have near enough wisdom to outthink Holo.")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s ""'Tis cold. My hand will freeze."")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "Lawrence did not, of course, believe a word of that. "Yes, it certainly is cold."")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s ""Aye." They each knew the other was lying, which was somehow more fun than simply telling the truth. Walking down the crowded street, they were the only two who understood the meaning hidden there. That was enough to make him feel even better than he had when he'd finished his big trade and had a purse full of coins with laurel-topped queens' heads on them.")
He then realizes he doesn't have any small change and lets go of her hand to check his coin purse.
Weiz is just as much of a womanizer and he and Holo are even worse in the novel:
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "Both Weiz and Holo were acting ridiculously, and as the only serious one, Lawrence was left entirely out of the play.")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s ""But, sir-" said Holo finally, which Weiz's face tensed at, and he straightened his posture like a knight. "There seems to be too much silver for my hands to hold."")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "Weiz answered before Lawrence could get a word in. "My dear Miss Holo, that is why you have my hands as well."")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "Holo looked surprised, then spoke as though very sad. "I could not possibly impose such a weight upon you."")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "Weiz shook his head and continued. "If silver overflows from your hand, then I will gladly lend you mine. It would not trouble me in the slightest - because, my dear, I am sure that you, Miss Holo, will accept my feelings in turn, feelings so passionate I cannot hold them in both arms."")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "Holo averted her eyes like the blushing daughter of some nobleman while Weiz gazed steadily at her face.")
> [LN Vol. 7](/s "The exchange was so teeth-grittingly saccharine it made Lawrence want to slap them both. The whole thing was a cliche, of course, but it was also so perfectly done that it made Lawrence wonder if they'd somehow arranged it ahead of time. He found the whole thing deeply unamusing.")
The rest of the story goes pretty much the same as the episode. Holo is definitely not amused by the clothing stall. Though instead of her tsundere "if you want to tell me your trick I won't stop you" at the end she just offers a confused "huh?" which he takes as capitulation.

Not a necessary episode to advance the plot but it's full of the little moments between Holo and Lawrence that make me love the series so much.
