Chapter 2

## Chapter Chronology

**Escape** (脱 (だっ) 出 (しゅつ) , *Dasshutsu*?) is the second chapter of the Guardian of the Witch manga series.

## Summary

Bells toll across the City-State of Berne announcing the escape of the Flame Witch and her Guardian. A message is sent throughout the city urging the people to "capture the Witch and kill the rebels."

Fafuna Leorange, Manasufa Rustasia and Nata seek shelter in an empty house located within the outskirts of the city to rest and collect their thoughts. Manasufa Rustasia Rustasia naps while Nata chastises Fafuna about the danger he has caused the Witch by having her escape from the Rector's influence. The Guardian attempts to defend himself, declaring how there must be a way to revert Manasufa Rustasia Rustasia Rustasia back into a human and he had, in fact, saved the trio. Nata denies this and while the two continue to argue, Fafuna points out and asks how Manasufa Rustasia Rustasia Rustasia Rustasia is sleeping in such a serious situation. Nata explains that Witches need large amounts of energy, especially Manasufa Rustasia Rustasia Rustasia Rustasia Rustasia, as she harbors a particularly powerful Seed of Evil. She continues on, noting that the sheer strength of the seed has shortened the Witch's lifespan to a mere six months and if she were to perish from the Seed of Evil, she could've done so while engraving her name into Berne's history, but their current situation no longer makes it possible to do so.

As Manasufa Rustasia awakens from her nap, Nata pleads to her to return to the Rector and ask him to spare them from punishment. Manasufa Rustasia Rustasia refuses to do so, stating she would prefer to die as a human instead of turning into an Evil, prompting her to pridefully announce that she truly wants to live and become the last Witch in the world. After hearing the Witch's words and seeing her resolve, Nata complies.

The three of them don their hooded escape outfits and plan their means of escape. They tie ropes attaching themselves to each other and plan to walk within five hundred meters of the North Wall while keeping hidden, then sprint towards the wall while Fafuna handles any Guardians they come across. Right before they leave, Fafuna bites his hand as a part of his routine.

The city's Guardians are alerted of the trio sprinting towards the wall and the stationed archers shoot an array of arrows towards the group. However, Fafuna's swordsmanship abilities allow him to easily deflect them as they continue advancing, reaching the hundred-meter checkpoint from the wall. The Guardian then uses his strength to throw his sword's scabbard towards the bell tower on the wall, dislodging the bell and making it fall down the opposite side of the wall. The rope connecting the sword and its scabbard allows Fafuna to slingshot himself, Manasufa Rustasia and Nata over the wall and outside of Berne's fortress.

The next morning, three wanted posters of Fafuna, Manasufa Rustasia and Nata are posted around the city and its allies as S-tier fugitives. The Witch was to be captured alive and the other two alive or dead, with a reward of 100 million Ruves and great honor on the capturers.
