Synopsis: The young man Col dreams of one day joining the holy clergy and departs on a journey from the bathhouse “The Spice and Wolf Inn,” owned by his savior, Lawrence. The Winfiel Kingdom’s prince has invited him to help correct the sins of the church. But as his travels begin, Col discovers in his luggage a young girl with a wolf’s ears and tail named Myuri who stowed away for the ride! In the past, Col had accompanied the wisewolf Holo and the traveling merchant Lawrence on their own wanderings, eventually growing up alongside their daughter, Myuri as siblings. But as Col prepared to set off, Myuri opposed his departure and so she secretly ran away from home to join him! This is the story of Wolf and Parchment, and the pair’s travels that will someday change the world!

[…] Col and Myuri are on their way back to the mainland from the isolated islands featured in the previous novel, but a storm batters their ship before they arrive in their intended destination of Rausborne—enough that they’re forced to stay in the bustling town of Desarev whilst waiting for repairs. The two are welcomed with open arms as Col’s reputation precedes him; with stories of the Twilight Cardinal traveling around to save those without access to religion in the Kingdom of Winfel. They also meet Ilenia, a wool merchant and tax collector, who has a secret of her own. Welcome back to the world of Wolf & Parchment–New Theory Spice & Wolf. […]
[…] The baptismal rites are the first time Myne has been exposed to religion in this new world—and the first time she’s seen (or realized the existence of) the Bible-esque religious text. For those with knowledge on the history of publishing (including Myne, of course), it’s well known that religious texts were the very first books to be made, thanks to the high cost and labor-intensive production of even just one page. It would often take a plethora of monks and priests-in-training to hand write each page of parchment, and later bound with lavish materials and embellishments.
