Wolf & Parchment: New Theory Spice & Wolf, Vol. 3 (light novel)

Encountering a storm on their return from the pirate islands, Col and Myuri are forced to dock at Desarev, one of Winfiel Kingdom’s major ports. Though a lively enough town, priests are in short supply thanks to an imminent war with the Church, hence Col’s sudden designation as “The Twilight Cardinal,” savior of the people! And as if a city’s worth of religious problems isn’t enough to deal with, suddenly Myuri is demanding to be Col’s bride?! Meanwhile, a wool merchant named Ilenia approaches the “couple,” confiding that she’s the embodiment of a sheep, before asking for their aid with some secret agenda she has cooked up…Though unsure just what to make of this sheep in merchant’s clothing, Col and Myuri can’t ignore her once she mentions the Moon-Hunting Bear.
