The Butler, Breaking Out (その執事、逃げる, Sono Shitsuji, Nigeru) is Chapter 100 of the Kuroshitsuji manga.

Summary[]

The German military sends dogs into the Werewolves' Forest. The main squad, directed by Wolfram Gelzer, are guided down a path by dogs who have tracked Sieglinde Sullivan's scent. Grete Hilbard commands her squad to follow the other soldiers.

Meanwhile, Snake announces that the soldiers are coming, having sensed vibrations. Once the soldiers arrive, Baldroy has Snake release snakes from above, which frighten the army and cast them into disarray. Wolfram and Baldroy engage in a gunfight, while Snake runs ahead. Baldroy uses a marmalade can to bring about an explosion.

From afar, a soldier asks Grete if leaving the main squad to Wolfram was a good idea, and Grete assures her that Wolfram is the best fighter.

Wolfram emerges from the cloud of smoke and attacks Baldroy from behind. They battle for some time before Wolfram suddenly charges toward Snake. He throws Snake off balance, and picks up Sieglinde, only to discover that it is actually Ciel Phantomhive in disguise; Ciel, then, has Wolfram at gunpoint.

In the meantime, Finnian is running from soldiers while carrying Sieglinde and Tanaka. He remembers that Ciel has ordered Finnian to take Sieglinde because, just as his name implies, he can run faster than anyone else. He recalls his first arrival at Phantomhive Manor: Ciel had decided to give him a name and noted his strikingly blond hair. He commented that the protagonist of a tale in the famous Fenian Cycle was called "Finn," due to his beautiful blond hair; the boy ran through the forest faster than a hare and was stronger than a deer. Because he resembles Finnian in that right, Ciel opted to name him "Finnian," and gave him Fenian Cycle in hopes that he will learn to read soon. Finnian was greatly pleased, and Sebastian commented that that was the first time Finnian showed "such a human" expression; he added that Finnian must learn to talk like a servant and adjust his strength. He also added that the name was much better than one that belonged to a dog.

Finnian, then, summons his power from when he was subject number twelve. Consequently, he dashes through the forest with superhuman agility, and leaps off a cliff, landing in the river below—and cries that his legs hurt. The soldiers are about to seize the opportunity to shoot him but are shot by Mey-Rin. Mey-Rin, then, detects something moving, which turns out to be Grete, who appears and shoots at Finnian.

Tanaka, swiftly and skillfully, slices the bullet in two. He tells Finnian to run ahead, for he will deal with Grete.

Elsewhere, Sebastian Michaelis finishes his duty of destroying the general area. He remarks that if he does not hurry, he will not have time to prepare breakfast.

  1. Wikipedia:Empress Ballroom
  2. "The cover illustration [of the 100th chapter] shows all the master/butler pairs, who made an appearance [in the manga] so far, dancing in the Empress Ballroom (a historical ballroom in Blackpool, England). I always wanted to draw this, so I'm happy now♡
    [Since this is a ballroom dance] I had to draw the male/male dancing couples like male/female ones, but watching the Macana Brothers (a professional dancing couple of two men) dancing changed my mind and I now think the male/male dance is as cool as the male/female one!
    While I was drawing this, I imagined that each couple are dancing a different genre:
    Red butler couple [Grell/Madam Red]: tango
    Yellow butler couple [Agni/Soma]: cha-cha
    Green butler couple [Wolfram/Sieglinde]: Waltz
    Black butler couple [Sebastian/Ciel]: Viennese Waltz (you know it's the dance with the couple turning round and round and round....).
    I originally imagined Argentine tango for the 'black butler couple' because this dance looks like as if the couple is fighting and I thought it would match them [Sebastian and Ciel] best. I drew some sketches while watching some clips [of Argentine tango], but I gave up on this idea, since Ciel's legs [*his height compared to Sebastian] were too short and they didn't look cool together at all (lol)
    Today's illustration gives you a peek of Grell's shoes which you didn't get to see in the cover version because they were covered [by Ciel's costume]. Grell and Madam Red are a male/female couple and Grell is the lead of course, but emotionally speaking, they are a female/female couple. It was fun to draw their different shoe sizes."
