“I take no pleasure in executing already defeated opponents,” you say to Chi-sama. “Not when they could be useful! Drop your weapon and we will spare all your lives!”
Chi-sama stares at you, but finally releases the katana out of her hand and then asks you “What do you want?”
“For now, to keep everyone alive, including you!” You deflect and turn to your sister. “Ariadne, treat her wounds as best you can, we’re taking her prisoner with the others and returning back as soon as we can.”
“Y-yes, My Lord!” With slight hesitation, the minotaur girl bows her head and does as you say, going to help the bunny girl. You understand your sister’s reservations—you too want to raid the outpost and be done with it for good. Especially when it is currently the apparent source of your troubles. But you have to properly deal with your captives first and, with only half of them under your control, proceeding forward is too risky.
“Epsilon, was your job here just scouting?” You ask the bunny girl that guarded Alpha. “When will someone come looking for any of you?”
“Yes, mostly we were guarding the perimeter against unwanted guests. Chi-sama was here just because she didn’t find the company of some of our comrades in arms agreeable. But if none of us are back by sundown, they will know something is up.”
“Alright!” At least you apparently have enough time to wait for your sister’s teleport skill’s cooldown. Assuming no one noticed or heard the skirmish that just happened here. And you have to make sure it stays that way.
“None of you make a sound! Just sit tight, and wait. Same goes for you!” —you point at Chi-sama, who currently has her wound patched up by Ariadne—“Remember what I said! And Epsilon, get your outfit in order!” You command the bunny girls and sit down to rest, and wait.
Time passes excruciatingly slow when all you do is wait in silence. You have a lot of questions for these girls, but usually, the best strategy is to divide and conquer. You have to separate them as fast as possible. At least get the leader away from the others. And then you can deal with one bunny at a time.
After what feels like an eternity, your sister walks up to you and whispers, “My Lord, it's ready!”

“Let’s go!” You respond immediately and jump to your feet. Ariadne summons the same purple portal that got you here. You send Delta ahead first, followed by her former leader with your sister nudging her forward. Gamma carried Beta inside, then Epsilon guides Alpha through, and you follow last. You think you hear some noise further in the forest, but the portal closes behind you before you can discern who is speaking or what they are saying if it even was speech.
You return to your... residence without incidents. The corpses lie right where you left them. And there are already set upon by flies and ravens.
“Summon Imps!” You command and three little loli imps appear before you. You suspect that these are different imps from the last time as they have yellow, green and purple colored short, spiky hair, compared to the blue, red and white from the previous ones. Otherwise, they have the same short, bent horns sticking out of their hair, and are similarly wearing little more than half a dozen leather straps to cover their bodies and carry knife holsters.
“See those bodies over there?” You ask the imps and point at the bodies. “Burn them to a crisp until nothing but ashes remain! I don’t want scavengers picking at corpses on my front yard!”
“Dare I hope we have functioning cells in this place?” You whisper to your sister as you head to the gates in the mountain.
“Yes, we do—three whole levels,” your sister whispers back and opens the gates.
“Good! Place each of the bunny girls in a separate cell and lock them in,” you instruct your sister in a clear, strong voice so that all the bunny girls hear you. “Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, help her guide the prisoners and then obediently go into the cells one by one!”
Once you have them separated all that’s left to figure out is what approach to choose in dealing with them. If you got the leader of the bunnies under you control you wouldn’t even need to cast any more spells on the others. Maybe just let everyone rest for the day? You could use this time to recover fully yourself also.
Or you could use this as a perfect chance to test your Sexomancy spells in a calmer environment. After all, while Chi-sama proved to be able to resist your spells, whether it was because of her high willpower or your spells being too low of a level, you still do not know. And you have three loyal bunnies at your disposal for protection in case things go wrong, so your sister would not even need to participate in any of it. Not to mention all the other different ways you could use them in. If you’re that type of person that is.
