In manga chapter 1 it mentioned that Lawrence is 25. It was good episode. I like how Horo is so good with words.
KrayZ33 you must understand that during the time story takes place, 15 years old married to 20 years old couples would be usual sight.

might be true, but i don't think that erotism is needed so early in the series.. it is fine as it is for now... btw i like how her tail and ears show her emotions ^_^ and how she is petting her tail when she sits =) kind of cute.Originally Posted by animus
I know one thing: If I was sitting there next to her every day, watching her to pet that tail all day long, I wouldn't be able to resist it too long before I had to ask for a permission to pet it as well. It looks so soft and fluffy...
so true...so true... i would use it as a pillow though
i can feel my head resting softly on that fur *haaaaaa....* i bet lawrence was playing with her tail with his feet when they were sleeping at the end of the second episode!
Lots of tail-love in this episode, and looking forward to much more!
Horo is so cute when she's got her head covered and spouting poetry.

This show gets my vote for best series this season.
Whats with the kiss attempt at the preview? Cant wait for 4.
Peace.
I have to second that. This is the series whose episodes I wait the most every week. It just has some unexplained magic.
The kiss attempt certainly caught my attention as well, and the fact Horo stopped him. But to speak the truth, it would be too strange if Lawrence really could keep it all platonic.
According to Nipponsei, the release date for the OP and ED will be 5th of February. It has been a while since I last time looked forward to single releases.
awwww.... horo was so happy when she spotted the apples <3 *wag wag*
I liked the episode, lots of merchants' tricks and Horo left Lawrence in dust through Lawrence picked up the pace in the end.
"Life is hilariously cruel" by Bender
Already knew I was gonna love this series from episode one. Its my favorite this season. ^^
Love for Horo, now to make a sig o her. Episode Preview seems promising.
Horo is so win, at a level right below C.C. after only 4 eps.
Anyone have ideas on what the merchant trick is? My guess is it's similar to selling stock short, but I'm not sure exactly how that would work for goods and currency.
It's a good question. Lawrence explicitly stated he knows how to make profit by buying the weakening currency. The only way I immediately could think of would be to exploit any panic that could be caused among the people when they suddenly learn the value of that particular currency is going to crash. Such a drop would be increased by the fact, like Lawrence mentioned, the value of a (credible and stable) coin can be higher than the actual amount of silver in it. So, in addition to the decrease caused by the lower silver content, that "air" is going to disappear further crumbling it.
So, when people desperately suddenly want to get rid of the currency, he could buy it for less than it's actually going to end up in reality. Furthermore, if it is a very popular currency, other major ones could increase in value when their demand grows. So, if he now "buys" the other major ones, and sells them for more than they are really worth, he could end up with a sizable sum of the weakened one, then just wait for a time until it stabilizes at a reasonable level and then invest it.
However, I'm no currency expert so I don't know if it actually could work like this and strongly enough to realistically make any profits. Somebody wiser could make an educated guess instead of layman speculations.
Just picked this show up. Its very charming and I'll probably stick with it all the way through.
All this currency talk aside, can anyone else not watch the first 10 seconds out the OP without thinking of Mozilla Firefox?
For the currency trick it seems that:
The youngster was paid by someone else to tell that story. So he basically has his money whatever happens. That's why "only" ten coins that Lawrence could get back is no problem.
He probably isn't aware/hasn't been told where the real trick.
The thing is that I don't understand why Horo didn't warn him that the deal wasn't balanced enough for the youngster.
I mean:
He gets only ten coins as a safety.
If the thing doesn't work, he has to give the coins back.
He only gets money if the thing works.
I can think of no good deal working where the provider gets benefits only if the client has gains... In fact Lawrence himself should have known.
We'll see what's the trick behind later.
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
That cover deal wasn't so bad. The basic setting was that the silver content increases, thus they would make profit. It sounded like a viable deal because it wasn't one where only the youngster would have profited no matter what. And since it wasn't any real deal, only a cover, it doesn't really matter how flimsy it was, as long as it looked real enough to not make people second guess the reality behind it. Who knows how many people the youngster had contacted.
I'm assuming the person who makes money is the company that exchanges the old coins (high content) for new coins (lower content). If they can create a spike in exchanges during this time they can come out with a health profit.
I think it's even more important than that.
My Theory:
If the young guy is part of the company I think he is, he's with the foreign traders. Now, the foreign traders are giving coins for material goods. But, the coins they are giving away are about to become devalued. Only no one knows it yet. If they were sure they were giving away recently issued coins (the ones with less silver), they'd know they were earning far more in goods than they just traded for currency that was suddenly about to devalue.
Before the announcement is made, trader thinks he just made off with a killing of coins (like Horo did) but the company didn't really mind because they just got something far more valuable in a material form.
Since we learned in the second episode that Lawrence prefers his business dealings where he doesn't have to use currency, I believe this is what he has figured out.
(And no, I haven't read the manga beyond chapter 4, so I have no idea what really will happen.)
But the coins havent devalued yet, which means that any transaction done at that point is not really a loss for the trader, at least as long as he does not keep the coins for long. He can simply just buy goods right after, and technically have no loss since the value has not fallen by any noticeable margin.
The idea is quite plausible, just not a surefire one that would make Lawrence jump out of his seat and leave a cute wolf girl behind.
Peace.
