Spice and Wolf, Vol. 2 (light novel‪)‬

Following his good fortune in Pazzio, Lawrence is confident that he is
on the path to realizing his dream of becoming a town merchant. One
ill-informed business decision, though, leaves him teetering on the
brink of bankruptcy and ruin! With no assets to his name - other than
the cunning of his fetching traveling companion, Holo the Wisewolf -
Lawrence may need to resort to illicit means to put his affairs in
order. With all of the merchant's plans hinging on one beautiful young
shepherdess - for whose vocation Holo holds no affection - Lawrence's
prospects, both personal and professional, are looking grim!
