Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

“Hōichi,” Sakura Natsumi interrupted him, the girl wanting to laugh, “you wouldn’t be saying you like me, would you?”

“I…” Matsubara Hōichi gritted his teeth. The thought of his childhood friend leaving him made his heart tighten, and he blurted out, “Yes! Natsumi, I like you.”

Did they really say that?

Sakura Natsumi covered her mouth in surprise, but the girl showed no emotion. Instead, she looked helpless and embarrassed. "I really didn't expect you to be so direct, Hōichi. You've finally stopped being indecisive... But it's too late."

What?

“It’s too late now. If you had said this before yesterday, I… I would have been very happy,” Sakura Natsumi looked directly at the boy in front of her with complicated emotions. “Unfortunately, it’s too late now.”

"Why? Why is it too late? It's not too late now, is it? Natsumi, is it because of that guy?" Matsubara Hōichi was anxious. "Because of that monster, you—"

"Shut up!"

The girl with the high ponytail and blue hair, who had been smiling brightly just a few seconds ago, suddenly changed her expression, abruptly stopped him, glanced nervously at her mother who was busy in the kitchen, and glared at Matsubara Hōichi, "You come out with me!"

"..."

The two went outside and stood in the courtyard. Seeing that her mother hadn't noticed the commotion, Sakura Natsumi felt a little relieved. "It's a small matter. I don't want you to tell my mother, or anyone else. It's best to keep it a secret."

If Mu Xiaoxiao's existence is discovered, it will definitely cause him a lot of trouble.

"Natsumi," Matsubara Hōichi gasped, his heart aching, "It's a monster! Is that kind of thing really that important to you? Natsumi, are you crazy? Why are you so obsessed with that kind of monster?!"

"Ah, he is very important to me. I like him, I'm infatuated with him, even if he's a monster, I don't care!" Sakura Natsumi said firmly and resolutely, "No one can separate us!"

"Xia Hai, you—"

Matsubara Hōichi swayed, grabbing the wall for support. Suddenly realizing something, his eyes widened. "Could it be that the monster is in your house right now? You're living together?!"

Sakura Natsumi didn't answer, but her silence was tacit agreement. Seeing Matsubara Hōichi's face grow paler and his expression more shocked, the girl sighed softly, her eyes gradually turning cold. "Although so much happened yesterday, I still consider you my childhood friend, Hōichi. We're still good friends, but! That—"

Her voice was cold, her gaze sharp, "If you dare tell my mother about this, or spread the word about his existence and cause Xiaoxiao pain... I'm afraid we won't even be able to be friends anymore. At that point, it won't just be a complete break, I won't let you off the hook either!!"

Hearing his childhood friend's merciless warning, Matsubara Hōichi felt a chill run through him, from head to toe, his whole body radiating coldness, a bone-chilling cold, and a sense of despair.

Watching Natsumi turn and leave, Matsubara Hōichi felt his heart bleed, his chest throbbing with pain so intense he could hardly breathe.

“Xia Hai…why…”

Chapter 018 Tentacle Lord, Shall We Cooperate?

I slept very well.

The bed was soft and fragrant, with the girl's lingering scent on the sheets, blankets, and pillows. It was so pleasant that Xia Hai would use her as a pillow while she slept, allowing Mu Xiaoxiao to take advantage of her without restraint and enjoy the girl's alluring and energetic body.

Hmm, turning into a tentacle monster isn't so bad, is it...?

After Xia Hai got up and left, Mu Xiaoxiao woke up not long after. It wasn't that he couldn't sleep without a girl holding him; in fact, the soft bed was filled with Xia Hai's scent, and he was surrounded by her fragrance, which was still very comfortable.

He was simply disturbed by an unexpected visitor.

Emerging from the fragrant blankets, Mu Xiaoxiao released the pillow she was hugging with her tentacles, looked out the window, and saw the orange-haired girl with braids swinging her legs on the windowsill. Why did this woman come over again?

What is she planning to do now?

Good morning, Tentacle-kun~

Songyuan Donghua smiled and waved in greeting, "Looks like you slept very well last night. To be honest, if I hadn't seen you this morning, I really wouldn't have believed that it was the Xia Hai I used to know."

???

Perhaps sensing Mu Xiaoxiao's confusion, Songyuan Donghua jumped down from the windowsill and landed in the room. "Perhaps you don't know what Xia Hai was like before. She and her brother had a really good relationship. They were always very close since they were little. They were childhood sweethearts and inseparable. Xia Hai really liked her brother."

"But this morning when she faced her brother, she actually used such a threatening tone to say harsh words, showing no mercy at all. If Xia Hai's personality hadn't remained unchanged, I would have almost thought that wasn't her anymore."

After saying that, Songyuan Donghua walked to the bedside in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, picked up a white lace camisole from the bedside table, and waved it. "Tentacle-kun, she's like this because of you. I'm really curious, what exactly did you do to Xia Hai to make her so infatuated?"

Snapped.

Mu Xiaoxiao snatched the lace dress from her hand, took out her phone from under the pillow, checked the time, yawned, and then slowly typed, "Your personality has changed drastically. I'm a little curious, are you still the same Songyuan Donghua? Or have you become someone else?"

"Seriously, we were talking about Xia Hai, why did you drag me into this?" Matsubara Touka waved his hand. "Besides, does Tentacle-kun know the old me?"

“Xia Hai told me a lot about the past last night, and she also mentioned you. She really considers you a friend.”

"..."

Dong Hua's expression was somber. "Friends... Of course I also consider Xia Hai a friend. If it weren't for my brother... If it were the old me, I naturally wouldn't be so extreme. But now that I've become a monster, my way of thinking has changed. So I am still Matsubara Dong Hua, and that won't change."

“But none of that matters now, because Natsumi has no future with my brother, she no longer likes Nii-chan, so I have no reason to target her,” Matsubara Touka said, resting her chin on her hands. “I still have to thank you, Tentacle-kun, for taking Natsumi away from my brother. Well done.”

thumbs up.

Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

"So, how about we reconsider what I said before? How about we snatch Ruomu-senpai away from my brother too? That way, Nii-chan will be mine alone, Tentacle-kun? What do you think?"

"I don't think so. Besides, what I, Mu Xiaoxiao, like to do most is to say NO to self-righteous people!"

Matsubara Touka said angrily, "Why do you always reject me, Tentacle-kun? Even if it was because of Xia Hai... I didn't know you two would have this kind of relationship back then. Otherwise, given our relationship, I wouldn't have done such a terrible thing to her."

Matsubara Tohka winked slyly.

What's our relationship?

Mu Xiaoxiao was stunned.

"Should I ask you why you keep coming to see me? What's our relationship?"

"Tentacle-kun, didn't you save me once before?" Matsubara Touka said, his expression becoming serious. "I am really grateful to you for this. If it weren't for you, I would have been toyed with by that bug and then turned into a monster... Unlike now, although I have become a monster, I still have my chastity."

Matsubara Touka looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with complicated eyes. That was why she had goodwill towards Mu Xiaoxiao. If she lost her purity and became a monster, she would definitely turn even more evil... As for helping her steal away her love rival, those were minor matters.

Thinking about it carefully, she realized that he and she were both monsters transformed from humans, yet they still maintained their human values. Matsubara Touka wanted to laugh at him, but when she became the beneficiary, she couldn't laugh at all.

That's why I have such mixed feelings.

Matsubara Touka didn't bring up the matter again, and the monster girl took the initiative to change the subject, "Tentacle-kun, how about we form an alliance?"

Alliance?

"Although we can't be considered the same kind, at least we're not human anymore, so there won't be much conflict. Plus, considering your previous help to me, there's no more suitable natural ally than us. You've probably realized that this world isn't safe, and having more allies means having more strength, whether for survival or for our respective desires—"

Matsubara Touka stared intently at the fleshy tentacle in front of him, then reached out in an inviting gesture, "I need your help, and you definitely need me too, Tentacle-kun."

Do you know what my wish is?

Mu Xiaoxiao rolled off the bed. Faced with the monster girl's invitation, she didn't rush to answer. Instead, she asked curiously, "Do you know what I want?"

"I don't know, but I do know one thing: Tentacle-kun, although you're different from other monsters, you're definitely not averse to beautiful women, right?"

No, actually I just hate pretty women!

Okay, even if Mu Xiaoxiao is a contrarian, he still can't bring himself to say that; it goes against his conscience. But what does Songyuan Donghua mean by saying that? Does she really want to steal all the women around her older brother and give them to me?

Tsk, with such a wonderful sister like you, your brother will surely be overjoyed and cry tears of happiness.

However... putting women aside for now, if it's a cooperative alliance, it would indeed be beneficial to me. At least I don't understand this unfamiliar world, but evolution requires finding prey, and having a familiar ally might make things much easier.

"I can cooperate with you, but women are out of the question. I need you to help me investigate intelligence about the surrounding area and even the city, especially about some extraordinary beings."

Mu Xiaoxiao made her request.

"no problem!"

Songyuan Donghua readily agreed, then took out his phone and waved it, "Let's exchange email addresses and phone numbers."

"it is good."

The monster girl suddenly gave him a strange look. "Tentacle-kun, are you using Natsumi-senpai's phone? Tsk..."

Why are you smacking your lips?

"As a gift for our first collaboration as allies, Mr. Tentacle, I'll give you a satisfactory present," Dong Hua seemed to be sending a message to someone on his phone. "Don't you need intelligence? Maybe this can be of some help to you."

Oh?

So efficient?

Wait, could she be talking about those tentacle zombie monsters?

“Matsuhara Donghua, although I am cooperating with you, it doesn’t mean I’m willing to cooperate with your disgusting kind,” Mu Xiaoxiao warned. “If we encounter those disgusting tentacle monsters, I hope you won’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“I know, they’re just a bunch of useless fry, do as you please,” Matsubara Touka said with a fierce expression. “So what if they’re my kind? Even that tentacle monster queen can’t control me!”

"..."

Hmm, I think I've heard some interesting information.

Chapter 019 I Became the Boss of an Evil Organization

Songyuan Donghua's situation seems to be more complicated than she thought. Although she has become a monster and one of the tentacle monsters that invaded the academy, she has become part of the monster camp because of Mu Xiaoxiao's interference, but she is not entirely part of the monster camp.

To date, there has been no explanation for the hacking incident. Although it made the news and was discussed by many people on online forums, the real mastermind behind it remains shrouded in mystery.

Matsubara Touka should know something. The information she just leaked was probably intentional, which shows that she is not very loyal to her monster identity. If Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't appeared, she might have completely become a tentacle monster and fallen into utter depravity.

But now... my stance has become ambiguous.

On the other hand, Mu Xiaoxiao really had no interest in these things. What about a sister who is obsessed with her brother and turns evil in order to steal her brother, or a yandere sister who makes her rival fall into evil in order to have her brother all to herself... He didn't want to get involved in these melodramatic plots at all!

Unfortunately, she could provide him with crucial intelligence and a vital source of evolution points, so he had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

"Here it is, very soon."

Following the direction of Songyuan Donghua's gaze, Mu Xiaoxiao looked out the window and saw a black sedan slowly approaching and stopping at the entrance. The driver's side door opened, and under Mu Xiaoxiao's strange gaze, a tall woman in a black suit and pencil skirt stepped out of the car.

A mature woman with exquisite makeup, her high heels making crisp footsteps, her narrow eyes seem to electrify, releasing a subtle, suggestive gaze that always evokes unpleasant thoughts.

This woman... is not simple.

Although it was only their first meeting, Mu Xiaoxiao's intuition told him that this woman was no ordinary person.

"Let's go see her together, Tentacle-kun. This gift will definitely surprise and satisfy you."

"..."

Only one woman arrived. The mature woman greeted Matsubara Donghua upon seeing her, "Miss Matsubara, you said there was a suitable one here..."

She couldn't finish her sentence. The mature and sexy woman opened her red lips and stared dumbfounded at the jellyfish-tentacle monster that appeared in the yard. Its alien appearance, its bizarre tentacles, and its twisted monster that would make any normal person's sanity drop drastically—the woman was not afraid at all. Instead, her eyes lit up and her face showed surprise.

It was like seeing a long-time crush, no, even more exaggerated than that, the woman's eyes started to light up!

This left Mu Xiaoxiao, who had just arrived in this world and was immediately hailed as a 'monster' by her students who fled in terror, feeling utterly ashamed. For a moment, she was bewildered. What was wrong with this woman? Was she crazy?

"Perfect... Absolutely perfect! I thought I couldn't find anyone more suitable than Ms. Matsubara, but I never imagined... that such a perfect person could exist in the world!"
