"...What do you mean?"

"It means Iola won't make an escape route. Iola... once he draws his sword, he will throw his life away."

"I know it's a dangerous thing, with our lives on the line."

"Unlike you, who knows when to pull back, Iola won't stop unless forced. He won't hesitate."@@novelbin@@

"I understand what you're saying. Iola is reckless."

Viretta scoffed, as if she already knew, but Minelle nodded in agreement. This meant that what he said wasn’t a mere misunderstanding.

"Yeah. You'd understand. Do you think Iola will stop on his own?"

"He only stops when forced to, right?"

The fight with Moslin, attacking Count Baekdeles, the battles with debtors, even the raid by the Great Academy students.

Iola had never stopped on his own.

If Viretta hadn’t intervened, he might have kept swinging his sword until everyone was down.

No matter the disadvantage, he wouldn’t stop until victory was certain. That was both his strength and his weakness.

"As far as I know, Iola never hesitates. He may retreat when he logically thinks it's impossible, but once he starts a fight, he never feels fear."

"Yet he is afraid of ghosts."

Viretta joked lightly. She preferred seeing the side of Iola who desperately avoided ghosts rather than the cool, heroic figure he portrayed.

However, neither of these things was important right now.
