Rose talks to Layon about what to do next, after finding out what Rose and Yuki planning, Layon face show a little bit of fear.
"Layon we need to escape this place"
"But where are we going?"
Rose pause a bit and think of a place to go and after thinking for a while.
"I know we should go to the small town we saw a little while ago"
"Oh, Yes and we can ask for help to the Familia"
Rose tell Yuki where they're a destination, and it seems Yuki doesn't hate the idea
"Ok, we should go to the near town"
Yuki piggyback the unconscious Shiro and grab the wooden stick, he picks the wooden stick instead of a pickaxe because of the weight of it,
"We should go"
But Rose stop Yuki
"wait what about the other children?"
"they just going to be a hindrance we need to leave them"
Rose knows that Yuki is right but she just can't, the thought of leaving these children to this place makes her shudder.
"No!!, we should take them with us we don't know what will happen to them if we leave them"
Yuki didn't argue with her because he owes her and just agrees with her and says his own priority.
"Do what you want but if something happens I leave them and protect Shiro"
"Ok thank you"
Rose tells the children plan and tells them to come with them, but the children are so scared of the boss that escaping they didn't even think about it, but Rose didn't give up she tries her best to convince the children.
"If you don't escape this place you all going to die here and I don't want that please I'm begging you all to come with us!"
Rose's sincerity moves the children and becomes emotional, and some of them decided to trust Rose and come with them but they're still some that didn't want to go, Rose try to convince them again but Layon taps her shoulder.
"Rose we can't do anything about their decision we should go we don't have time"
Rose stand up with a disappointed face, and Yuki shouted.
"Rose, Layon we should go"
the group of children starts escaping
---------
While walking soundlessly towards the exit of the mine the children see two guards sitting on the chair and playing some card on the top of the table.
"What now?"
the children don't know what to do, but Yuki told them.
"Just wait a bit they're going to take a break"
"how do you know?"
"I've been observing them for a while now so I know"
the children look to Yuki with a respect even Layon did.
after a while, the guard stands up and go out to take a break what Yuki said is true, after the guard can't be seen any more the children start their escape again.
------------
The boss visited the mine to check if something wrong and ask the report to one of the guards.
"How's the mining?"
"there's nothing wrong boss everything is according to the schedule"
"Good, and the children?
"Some of them collapse because of the hard labor but we wake them up and forced them to work again"
"Tsk those useless bastards I think we need a new children
the boss with anger face decides to go to his office to request a new child to work for him.
-----------
The children near to exit stop because of the guards in the entrance, and think of the plan again to what they need to do next.
"what now?
Layon, Rose, Yuki, and the other children think of a good plan, after a while Yuki suggested that he's going to do something about it, and at his signal, the children should run into the forest and before that, he needs to talk to Rose and Layon.
"I'm going to leave Shiro to you"
"what about you are you going to sacrifice yourself?"
"of course not, this is just the best method I can think so just for a while taking care of Shiro"
"ok we wait for you at the entrance of the town"
Yuki nod and throw his holding stick to Layon and look at him as a man like telling him that he's trusting him for they're protected, and then he runs to the guard with the excited face as if he saw something very valuable and ask the guard to look at it.
"There's something we found while hitting the wall it's shining so bright that we don't know what it is"
the guard become also excited about what they hear so they run inside the mine with Yuki
TACK TACK TACK
in their hurry, they didn't notice the children in the shadow of the wall, and Yuki signals them by putting his arm in the air.
Rose tell the children
"Go, Go, Go"
TACK TACK TACK TACK
The children escape from the mine successfully but the worried face of the children is not going away, because they're worried about Yuki, while Shiro is still asleep because of the guard hitting her she still doesn't know that her brother is a hero to the children.
-----------
TACK TACK TACK TACK
inside of the mining, the guards ask Yuki where it is, Yuki point to the random wall and the guard take a look closer, while the guard is getting closer to the wall Yuki pick up a pickaxe on the ground and hit one of the guards in the head
PLACK
because Yuki is stronger than Layon the guard becomes unconscious, the other guard immediately notices him so he didn't get to hit that guard.
The guard shouted at Yuki.
"WHAT THE F*CK DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!!!"
Yuki ignores the guard and run towards him, he swings the pickaxe from the top but the guard dodges it, the guard swings his wooden stick at Yuki, because Yuki swings a heavy pickaxe he lost his balance and can't dodge, he got in the head reason of the blood falling to his face, he knows he can't win that's why he runs towards the direction of the exit, and the guard follows him.
"YOU THINK YOU CAN OUTRUN ME YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!"
The guard is confident that he can catch up to Yuki, little by little the distance between Yuki and the guard shrink the guard try to catch Yuki's hair by extending his hand, but Yuki Predicted it and stop then punch the stomach of the guard, because of the running speed of the guard the force of Yuki punch double, the guard fell on the ground holding his stomach because of pain.
Yuki runs towards the exit with all of his might, because of how worried he is about his sister he forgot about the break of the guard ended,
Yuki bumped into the two guards who playing cards earlier and the guard immediately notice him.
"Where do you think you going!?"
