- Swish...
I smoothly snatched Elise's left ear, which had been groping my body so naturally.
"Heeek!"
When I opened my eyes, she had stealthily clamped her legs around mine.
I hadn't dreamed of this.
Her red eyes trembled as she looked up at me.
Tears welled up in them.
From what Luna had told me, grabbing the right ear was a compliment to sexual appeal between lovers.
As for the left ear... I had no idea.
But the system had recommended it to me.
As a subjugation method. Trying it out myself, I could tell—it had completely subdued her.
The system's advice was spot on right now.
"...Seon-woo, are you okay?"
Mary's voice came from outside the entrance.
She was holding back Seol Yu-wol, who was about to rush in, and asking for my opinion.
She must have thought the situation was under control.
"Probably."
I glanced downward.
She seemed fine.
"Luna, Elise, let's talk this out first."
I wasn't sure if they could even listen...
And I wasn't sure if talking would work...
But I had to try.
"Yes..."
"Yesss..."
Their responses were quick. They knelt obediently by both sides of my legs.
It was a picture of demure propriety, but heavy panting breaths kept spilling from their mouths.
Their dazed, upward gazes were sticky and intense.
- Rub rub...
Elise even started rubbing her cheek against my thigh.
I couldn't just stay holed up in the entrance like this.
"Let's go inside first."
I sighed and stood up.
I'd have to help them up.
As I tried to release my grip from their ears to hook my arms under their armpits...
Don't let go!!!
Drag them along instead!!
What.
I froze in that awkward position.
"Yu-wol, Mary."
I couldn't move like this.
I didn't have the posture to drag the two of them along.
It was impossible alone.
Their gazes fixed on my hands and the two rabbits sprawled on the floor.
Expressions of utter bewilderment.
"Help carry these... rabbit ladies inside."
I nodded toward Luna and Elise.
"...Okay."
"...Yeah."
They each hoisted a rabbit onto their backs, looking incredulous.
It was a ridiculous sight, like something out of a comedy.
Me holding the rabbits by both hands.
Mary and Seol Yu-wol transporting them laid out flat.
"Does it have to be like this?"
"Probably."
- Drag drag drag...
I sat Luna and Elise in dining chairs.
And stood in the middle, gripping their ears.
"Hee hee..."
Luna grinned up at me with dazed eyes.
"Teacher... how did you know?"
Luna tilted her head back, her ear clutched in my fist.
She tilted her head cutely, looking up at me.
Her eyes were misty and unfocused.
"That... our left ears... make us unable to move."
Did she know that?
I'd only learned it today myself.
If you grip a beastkin's ear tight...
You can feel their pulse throbbing perfectly.
- Thump. Thump. Thump.
Her heart was racing wildly.
I silently commanded the system inside my mind.
Explain the current states of Luna and Elise.
Precisely.
Clients Luna and Elise are currently in heat.
The problem is that it wasn't resolved.
Beastkin typically resolve it immediately upon encountering a male they like.
I was the male they liked...
So resolution was impossible.
However, without that, adult beastkin learn ways to calm it or resolve it themselves and return to normal.
The issue... is that there was no adult to guide them.
I see.
Due to the dimensional transfer, only the two of them had come here.
So they tried to resolve it alone in their room... but their pheromones kept building up, mixing and concentrating inside the house.
An infinite loop of stimulating each other.
୧(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭
They're not in their right minds right now.
We need to calm them down!
Okay.
It clicked instantly.
The hot air and sweet scent that poured out the moment I opened the door.
That was pheromones.
No adult guidance. No male to resolve it.
They'd just suffered in their room.
"Teacher."
Luna whispered to me with misty eyes.
"Give me a kiss, please."
She tapped her plump red lips with her index finger. Tap, tap.
"She's lost it."
Mary muttered, shaking her head in disbelief, arms crossed beside me.
"No."
When I refused firmly, Luna didn't look disappointed—instead, she curled her lips up.
"You wouldn't know, Teacher... but us beastkin... we always need someone to lean on."
I met her eyes.
"A hundred years? No. Hundreds of years? No... We've been beings who submit to someone our whole lives."
- Tap tap.
Her slender finger tapped her head.
"Our genes are imprinted here... to submit to our master. To bare our bellies... wag our tails... and serve all night long, finding joy in it."
Luna's gaze roamed over my entire body.
"Luna and Elise are no different."
- Swish...
Luna softly stroked my leg.
"So, Teacher...?"
Her red lips parted seductively.
"You grabbed my left ear just now."
Luna glanced sideways at her ear and smiled.
"Grabbing the ear means... you'll take me. All night long."
There was no need to hear more.
That hadn't been my intention from the start.
How to calm a beastkin in peak heat.
Yes! Let me tell you right awa—
It's fine.
No need.
Eh...?
( ºΔº )
I prepare for every situation.
That's why I'd stayed up all night reading those old papers—to handle variables like this.
My skills are lacking, so I have to do it this way.
I'd searched for books on beastkin.
Really... incredibly hard-to-find info. Almost never accessed.
The way to control an immature beastkin without an adult to calm themselves is surprisingly simple.
A state where longing for a male maxes out, rationality paralyzed.
Just satisfy that longing.
Mating is the surefire way, but not now.
- Squeeze.
Without hesitation, I pulled Luna into a tight embrace, burying her deep in my arms.
Not a hug... more like crushing her.
I pressed so hard her nose and mouth were completely buried in my neck and chest, no room to breathe.
"Hek...?"
Luna's body twitched and stiffened. She seemed panicked by the sudden suffocation.
But instinct soon accepted it.
The space without oxygen... would be filled with my pheromones, probably.
"Hngh..."
Luna slowly inhaled within my arms.
Her hot breath seeped through my shirt.
"Heek... hngh..."
The more she inhaled, her red eyes gradually cleared.
Her convulsing body lost its tension.
"Hah, hah... hngh..."
Luna inhaled fiercely.
As if afraid to miss any, she nuzzled deeper with her nose.
Subjugation was no longer needed.
I released her tightly gripped left ear.
- Stroke... stroke...
And... gently petted it.
"Heek... Te...a...cher... love..."
Luna's eyes slowly closed.
Her long lashes fluttered... then fully relaxed in peace.
The adult-taught method to calm a beastkin in heat.
Expose them fully to the male's pheromones.
It was effective.
Luna quieted down, suffocated by my scent.
"...Huh? Sis?"
A dazed voice came from behind.
Elise.
She hadn't grasped the situation yet.
She'd been dangling like a cicada from Luna's back, her ear in my hand.
With her sister suddenly going limp like fainting, she was flustered.
"Come here."
"Kyaa!"
I commanded shortly. Released the hand gripping Luna's ear.
Instead, I snatched the nape of limp Elise.
- Grab!
Pulled her roughly.
No escape for her.
- Squeeze...
I locked Elise in my arms too, crushing her tight.
"Hweeeek...!"
Elise gasped, her nose slamming into my neck.
"Heek... hng..."
Her red eyes lost focus, growing misty.
Same reaction as Luna. Power drained from her trembling limbs.
Soon, Elise collapsed limply against me too.
Success. Both Luna and Elise calmed.
How did you know!?
You're incredible!!! So cool!!!
(*,,ÒÓ,,)و ̑̑
The system cheered.
But I didn't see it that way at all.
If I'd known they didn't know how to handle their heat, I'd have done this sooner.
I just felt sorry for letting it go this far, making them suffer.
I scooped up limp Elise in my left arm, Luna in my right.
Carrying them nestled against me, I headed to the bedroom.
I gently laid them on the fluffy bed.
- Swish...
Then took off my overcoat and draped it over them.
Luna and Elise instinctively buried their faces in the clothes soaked with my scent.
I carefully wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads with the back of my hand.
Only after confirming their steady breaths... did I quietly close the door and head to the living room.
Outside, Seol Yu-wol and Mary waited with strange expressions.
"...No need for bodyguards after all."
"No."
I shook my head. It had been a close call.
One slip, and I'd probably have been pinned underneath, spending a fun time from the rabbit sisters' perspective.
Thank goodness I could subdue them myself.
The system's timing was perfect too.
Grateful it didn't escalate to combat.
"They... really like you a lot, oppa."
Seol Yu-wol peeked back at the bedroom.
"...Yeah."
No point denying it.
Their feelings had already crashed into me with their whole bodies and instincts.
Now, I had to properly receive their hearts.
That was only polite.
"They'll... probably be out for a while."
Extreme energy drain, after all.
"Let's go."
Luna and Elise.
When they wake...
That's when we'll talk.
I won't run.
Then.
