Ughh that's exactly where I didn't want the smallest to be. Maybe I can still make this work...

>You lead in with Roukanken, easily cutting down the rightmost faerie, who falls to the ground with a surprised cry. The second part is a bit trickier as the middle faerie is trying to more her stream to catch up with you, but you are able to snake your arm under her outstretched hands with no problem and snag her around the waist, then pin her against your own as she starts to flail and shriek in your grasp.
