1. Bunny Bunny, Bunny Bunny Ep.1

Even in the midst of relentless battles, there are moments of peace, an oasis in the desert.

Today was one of those moments. A princess, tailing behind me with like a puppy.

Today... was the day I gave Erin a tour of town.

Ethan

From here on out is the market square. Thanks to all the monsters we've been slaying, merchants can move through safely again.

Erin

Wooow! It's so lively!

Ethan

That over there is a statue of Morgana. It's kind of a local favorite.

Erin

Gasp! A statue of the Fairy Queen herself? To think people revere her... how noble!

Ethan

Uh... it's not really like that. A sculptor made it after watching Morgana get eaten by a slime. Said it was "inspiring."

Erin

Huh? But you said it's a local favorite...

Ethan

Yeah, for kids. It's part of the playground.

Erin

Oh...

A-anyway! That inn over there, Princess Elizabeth works there, right?

To think she's helping raise military funds with her own two hands... Truly an inspiration! A role model for princesses everywhere!

Ethan

You really do speak like royalty, huh.

Erin

Hehe, I can't wait to meet her in person.

Ethan

...You might want to tone those expectations down a bit.

I dodged the question.

If she saw how worn out Elizabeth's been, constantly getting scolded for every little mistake, she'd be heartbroken.

Poor kid.

Still, I did promise to show Erin around... Sorry, Elizabeth. Try to make a good first impression, yeah?

Thud.

Just as we were about to step inside, Ria blocked the entrance.

Ria

Princess Erin may not enter.

Ethan

What? Why not?

Ria

We're holding a special event today.

It's... not exactly appropriate for someone her age.

Erin

O-oh, is that so? That's too bad...

Ria

But allow me to treat you to some delicious pudding instead. Right this way.

Erin

Huh? Sure!

Ethan, I'll be back after my pudding!

What kind of "event" are they even running in there?

I chuckled and gave a little wave as Erin walked away. Well, at least Elizabeth's reputation is safe, for now.

[Ethan swings open the door]

...Why is it so dark in here?

The lighting was unusually dim, and even the windows had been shut tight.

As my eyes adjusted to the flickering candlelight, I could make out the shapes of several women fidgeting nervously in the shadows.

Bunny Girl Bedivere

W-Welcome... Ethan...

Bunny Girl Galahad

I am happy that you're our very first guest tonight.

Bunny Girl Tristan

W-What are you staring at?! Just pick a seat already!

What the hell is going on here?

They said there was a special event, but the whole inn had been transformed into some kind of... tavern lounge.

And to top it off, all the staff were dressed as... bunny girls?

Ria... just how far did you go this time...?

Ethan

This is... absolutely... amazing.

Elizabeth

Ethan, allow me to show you to your seat...

Elizabeth, face beet red, stepped up to host. Unlike the others, she was wearing a maid outfit... but from the way she trembled, she was clearly mortified.

Ethan

What is all this?

Elizabeth

The manager's been obsessed with this kind of... theme lately.

Ethan

Then why are you still dressed differently?

Elizabeth

I-I'm just... still hiding my true power, that's all!

Right. More like, hiding from the shame. I stifled a laugh and took the seat she nervously guided me to.

Bunny Girl Galahad

Ahem... May I take your order?

Wow... even Galahad pulls it off surprisingly well.

Ethan

Huh...?

(Wait a sec... is it just me, or does Galahad seem bigger than usu...)

Bunny Girl Galahad

To what are you staring at, may I ask? (Did he notice...?)

Ethan

Ah, n-nothing! Haha...

So, uh, what's on the menu?

Bunny Girl Galahad

We humbly offer the Bunny Bunny Carrot Omelet Rice, Carrot Cake, and Carrot Salad. (Ugh, I'm so tired.)

Ethan

Why is everything carrot-themed...?

Bunny Girl Galahad

We were told this is how it's supposed to be...?

Guess Ria overheard me ranting about bunny-themed dishes once and ran with it. She didn't quite get it right, but she tried.

Bunny Girl Galahad

Here, I'll even draw you a ketchup heart♡ as a complimentary. (Just tip me and eat already.)

Ethan

Wow, this feels like proper VIP treatment. I don't know what kind of event this is, but it's probably good for business.

Elizabeth

R-Right?

Ethan

By the way, how did you even get here, Tristan? Cornwall's pretty far from here.

Bunny Girl Tristan

...A capable knight goes where duty calls! Y-You wouldn't understa, AAAH!

Ethan

Tripping and falling in that outfit...that's kind of perverse...

Bunny Girl Tristan

W-Who are you calling perverse?!

Elizabeth

Ria handed out these shady flyers saying something about "Bunny Bunny for Hire."

So that's the root of all this... Shaking my head, I glanced at poor Tristan, clearly dragged into this mess, and Galahad, who, strangely enough, looked like she was actually enjoying herself.

Well... I'm just here to be pampered, so I can't complain.

Ria

Emergency!

The door burst open and Ria rushed in, adjusting her glasses with a look of both glee and panic.

Ria

Customers are pouring in. Everyone, positions!

Bunny Girl Galahad

So it begins... the real deal.

Bunny Girl Bedivere

Hwaaah! I'm so embarassed, what do I do?!

Ethan

Wait, what about me?! I'm not part of the "real deal?!"

Bunny Girl Tristan

You dummy! We've got actual customers now, we don't have a choice!

Ethan

That's not fair! I was finally getting proper treatment! No way, I'm not giving this up until I'm satisfied!

Boiling with frustration, I stormed outside.

No way was I letting my dream harem slip away like this!

2. Bunny Bunny, Bunny Bunny Ep.5

Ethan

(Pant... pant...) Okay... I've managed to thin out the crowd a bit.

Just what kind of crazy advertising did Ria do?! At this rate, her inn's gonna be the hottest spot on the whole continent!

As I caught my breath, a flyer fluttered toward me, probably dropped by one of the guys I'd just knocked out.

Ethan

What's this?

The moment I started reading the flyer, my heart began pounding like crazy.

A dreamlike tavern to fulfill your deepest desires! A secret haven for men, where bunny girls await!

First-time visitors get a free drink!

Ethan

...What the hell?!

No wonder all these thirsty guys are showing up in droves!

I crumpled the heart-covered flyer in frustration and let out a roar.

But it didn't matter. Across the field, more guests were already flooding in like moths to a flame.

Ethan

This is my harem... and I'll protect it with my life!

Thus began the most important battle of my life.

3. Bunny Bunny, Bunny Bunny Ep.10

52 lines
Ethan

Hah... haah... it has to be over now, right?

I needed to have a serious word with Ria. This wasn't about whether the business was doing well or not.

I couldn't stand by and watch the girls I've adventured with be swarmed by a pack of drooling men...!

I steeled myself to end this madness once and for all. But something felt... off.

A bunny girl approached, leading a small group of shady-looking men behind her.

Ethan

...Anessa?!

Bunny Girl Anessa

Hm? Oh, the Swordbringer.

So even you couldn't resist the lust, huh?

Ethan

W-Wrong! I mean...

Maybe?!

No, wait, that's not the point! A-Anyway, what are you doing here dressed like that?!

Bunny Girl Anessa

I heard there's a very interesting place around here... a glimpse into the depths of the male psyche... the very bottom of chaos itself... Fufu...

The way she said it, it felt less like she wanted to explore the mind... and more like she wanted to crack someone open and peek inside.

As impressive as Bunny Girl Anessa was, there was no way I could just let this walking disaster pass.

I raised my sword with a very different resolve than usual.

Ethan

Whatever your intentions, I can't let you through. Please go back, Anessa!

Bunny Girl Anessa

Oh my, Swordbringer... don't tell me... you want me all to yourself? I didn't know you were that desperate. So naughty...

Ethan

That's not it! I'm worried about what you might do!

Bunny Girl Anessa

Huh. Is that so...?

Then if you're not planning to ravish me... I guess I'll have to kill you.

Bunny girls really are something else.

Ethan

Sigh...

Bunny Girl Anessa

Not bad, Swordbringer.

Ethan

I know you're curious, Anessa, but this isn't your scene. You'd have to make heart-shaped ketchup designs and wait tables.

Bunny Girl Anessa

Now I'm really intrigued.

Teasing and seducing men... it's the essence of Lust, and Lust is the essence of humanity.

She's completely misunderstood. That's not what the Bunny Bunny Tavern is about at all!

Ethan

No way!

I shouted and stepped in front of her. A blaring alarm rang deep in my brain, she must be stopped.

Bunny Girl Anessa

I won't give up, Swordbringer. Don't you want me...?

Gulp.

She slowly started approaching me. Even after I defeated her, she still wouldn't give up.

In that moment of crisis, a familiar voice rang out from behind me.

Bunny Girl Galahad

My, my. What do we have here? (Honestly, making me come all this way... how annoying.)

Bunny Girl Tristan

You pervert. Already found a new lover, huh...?

Bunny Girl Bedivere

Ethan... how could you...

Did they come looking for me because I'd been gone so long...? For a moment, I was genuinely touched. Their sudden arrival almost brought a tear to my eye.

But... that feeling was short-lived.

Ria

So this is where you've been. No wonder we haven't had any customers.

After all that effort to invite you, this is how you repay me? I regret every piece of bread and drop of ale you've consumed.

Ethan

R-Ria...?

Ria

Not only are you not helping, you're actively sabotaging our business. This cannot be overlooked.

Ethan

Wait, hold on! Just let me explain...

Ria

Everyone. It's time we purge Ethan.

Bunny Girl Galahad

So it has come to this... Prepare yourself...!

Bunny Girl Tristan

Good. It'll help erase this shameful memory from my mind.

Bunny Girl Bedivere

I-I'm sorry, Ethan...!

Bunny Girl Anessa

Hold on, Swordbringer. You're just gonna ignore me now?

Ethan

N-No!

The newly arrived bunny girls... were all enemies. They stepped over the men I had defeated, ignoring my desperate cries.

But you know what? I had no regrets.

Because in the end, I protected the girls, with my own two hands.
