Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

On the rooftop terrace, on a bench beside a flower bed, Nanao Akane was talking incessantly.

The food in the bento box was barely touched, indicating a lack of appetite.

As for Mu Xiaoxiao next to her, she was receiving food from Xia Hai with her mouth open, looking blissfully happy as her lover fed her, seemingly not listening to what Qiwei Qian was saying at all.

"In the end, he still doesn't trust me... I'm not angry that he made that kind of request, I'm just angry that he doubts me more than that scumbag coach, and even said that it was you, Mu Jun, who instigated me to quit the team..."

Akane Nanao lowered her head and bit her lip.

"Little one~ ah~"

"what--"

Mu Xiaoxiao continued to enjoy the loving service of her beautiful little wife.

“Shoya wasn’t like this before. He used to be a very humble and earnest person. When I was in the swimming club, Shoya was just a freshman. Even though he was rejected by the baseball club, he didn’t give up and practiced hard every day. I think I was attracted to him by his persistent attitude back then…”

"But why was Shoya-kun so easily deceived by Higashi? Even though he spoke ill of us, why didn't Shoya-kun believe me?"

Akane Nanao lowered her head deeply, her emotions fluctuating wildly.

Mu Xiaoxiao also added a piece of shrimp to Xia Hai's mouth, "Try this, shrimp is delicious too~ Ah—"

'Ah...mmm, it's delicious~' Sakura Natsumi savored the food from her beloved man's lips, fiddling with her hair without caring that he had used the chopsticks, indirectly kissing him while chewing food in her mouth, her bright eyes gazing at him with tender affection.

"You two, that's enough!!" Akane Nanao suddenly looked up and yelled in a frenzy, "And you, Mu-kun, did you even hear what I said?!"

I'm here pouring out my heart, feeling lost and dejected, and you two are sitting right next to me, all lovey-dovey and feeding me dog food? Acting like intimate lovers, have you even considered how I feel, you bastards!

[○?｀Д??○]！ ！ ！

unacceptable! !

"Nanami, calm down. Being impatient won't solve anything," Mu Xiaoxiao told Xia Hai to wipe his mouth and then looked back at her. "As for your relationship with that Katase Shoya... why don't you just agree to his conditions?"

Akane Nanao's lips twitched. "Putting aside the fact that you are my friend, Mu-kun, I can't agree to those conditions just because you saved me. If I really agree to Xiang-kun, my conscience will be uneasy. Even if I'm with him, we can't have a long-term relationship."

“This proves one thing,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, waving her finger in front of Nanao Akane, “that your feelings for Katase Sho aren’t exactly deep love. At most, it’s just some youthful, awkward attraction, far from love. True love doesn’t require that much. For example—”

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at the beautiful girl on her other side, and Sakura Natsumi immediately chimed in, leaning into Mu Xiaoxiao's arms and giggling, "Xiaoxiao told me to stay away from a certain boy, and I definitely won't refuse. In fact, even if Xiaoxiao hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have gotten too close to other boys."

Xia Hai said affectionately, his eyes only on Xiao Xiao.

“Look,” Mu Xiaoxiao spread her hands, adopting a mentor’s posture, “this is what real lovers and couples should be like. Of course, I’m not saying that you, Nana, are not loyal. I just want to say that your relationship with Katase Shoya was just so-so, it can’t even be called love. So it’s good that you broke up.”

"Yes, is that so?"

Nanao Akane was stunned. What Mu Jun said seemed to make some sense, but something felt off. She quickly realized what was going on.

"Mu Jun, isn't it a bit too direct of you to break us up like this?" At least say it more tactfully. Nana Akane was embarrassed; it was the first time she had encountered such a direct attempt to persuade someone to break up.

"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, you haven't known that person for very long. You just met them at the beginning of the semester, and it's only been a little over two months. You haven't experienced anything special, have you?"

"Waaah... You're right, but Mu Jun, aren't you afraid I'll get angry if you just tell us to break up like this?"

"So what? Even if I didn't say anything, I think your relationship is pretty much broken," Mu Xiaoxiao laughed heartlessly, making Qiwei Qian furious. Who do you think is to blame?

That jerk actually mocked me! How awful!!

"Xiaoxiao, why do I feel like I've seen this scene before?" Sakura Natsumi interjected with a strange expression. "Couples who broke up because of you, or people who were more than friends but less than lovers who broke up because of you... I feel like this has happened many times before?"

Sakura no Natsumi (cherry blossoms) has appeared many times.

That's right, it's her. The victim is right here. Back then, Natsumi and Matsubara Hōichi were childhood friends who were very close. Of course, there was also Wakamu-senpai. In addition, there was Shiki Anri and Kofukuji Takaya, Nishikino Mizuki and her husband...

Wow! Thinking about it now, there are actually quite a lot of people!

Although the main reason wasn't his fault, Xiao Xiao still benefited from it, so... Xiao Xiao is really toxic, he can break people up wherever he goes.

"What does this have to do with me? I'm the God of Pure Love, don't make me sound like some kind of bastard," Mu Xiaoxiao protested, feeling wronged. Although I have many girlfriends, most of whom are related to me, I really didn't steal anyone else's woman.

Wronged.

“I think Yotsuya-kun is right. Mu-kun, a heartbreaker like you who attracts all sorts of attention should…” Halfway through her sentence, Nanao Akane suddenly froze, “Wait, you, you’re not Yotsuya-kun?”

Sakuragami Natsumi: "..."

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

You're only just realizing this?! What were you doing just now? Were you really that distracted and daydreaming?

Mu Xiaoxiao was convinced.

“My name is Sakura Natsumi, not Miko,” Natsumi explained with an awkward but polite smile.

"Hello, hello," Nanao Akane was genuinely embarrassed; she really hadn't noticed. "Then why were you just now with Mu Jun? Wait, is your relationship also...?"

“I’m your little lover, we’re a couple, and strictly speaking, I was the first one here,” Sakura Natsumi pouted her rosy lips. Now, there are more and more girls around her.

"You're Mu-kun's lover? Then Yotsuya and the others are too...?"

Seeing Sakura Natsumi nod in agreement, Nanao Akane was speechless. She looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with disdain. The original classmates were Yotsuya and Ruomu, as well as Shishiro Anri, who was in the same class as Mu-kun. Now there's Sakura Natsumi too.

Thinking of the many girls at school with whom he had been rumored to be dating, Qiwei's eyes narrowed into dead fish eyes.

"Mu Jun, my guess last time was absolutely right. Someone as fickle as you will definitely die at the hands of a woman—"

Chapter 224 Calculation

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't care about the prophecy that Nanao Akane would die at the hands of a woman. As for the person named Katase Shoya, Mu Xiaoxiao's previous statement was also sincere; she genuinely thought it was good that they separated.

Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, the fact that his judgment could be so easily influenced by that scumbag coach shows he truly deserves to be called the victim. To be honest, there's a reason why this kind of person can become the victim; he's practically letting his woman be played with by someone else without any defenses. It would only make things more tragic for Nanao Akane if she got together with him.

In other words, Mu Xiao said it in a more tactful way. If it weren't for Qiwei's feelings, he would have said it directly long ago.

As for Nanao Akane, she was quite swayed by Mu Xiaoxiao's persuasion. Mu-kun had predicted the coach's character before, so now... should she give up on Shoya-kun? She recalled the scene of Katase Shoya trusting Coach Higashi in front of her, his naive words, and the scenes of how she met him a few months ago.

Perhaps Mu Jun is right. I don't have any deep feelings for Katase Shoya. It's just a simple fondness... Even if we have to sever ties, I won't feel as bad as I imagined.

Akane Nanao let out a sigh of relief, feeling much better.

As for Katase Shoya, he was unaware that Nanao Akane's attitude towards him had become increasingly cold under Mu Xiaoxiao's 'stirring up trouble'. This first-year junior was still immersed in sadness and confusion. Akane's resolute expression when she left, as well as her words, kept echoing and swirling in Katase Shoya's mind.

"Could it be that I really misunderstood... Coach Dong Gang really has feelings for Akane..."

He wavered because of the rumors about Nanao Akane and Mu Xiaoxiao, as well as Mu Xiaoxiao's usual behavior at school, which made Katase Sho also dislike him. Sometimes first impressions are very important, which is why Katase Sho couldn't believe Nanao Akane's words.

But Akane is, after all, the girl he likes, and Katase Sho is now in a dilemma.

“Shoya-kun,” a familiar voice broke Katase’s thoughts. He looked up and saw that it was Higashi Tsuyoshi. Katase Shoya’s expression was surprised. “What’s wrong? Are you so surprised to see me? What’s wrong? You look terrible.”

The man leaned closer with concern, "Did you meet with Nanami?"

“Coach Higashi,” Katase hesitated for a few seconds, “Akane… she said she wants to quit the club.”

"Resign from the club? Why would she do that?" Dong Gang looked astonished. "Even if something unpleasant happened yesterday, there's no need to resign. What... what did she say?"

“Coach Dong Gang said, she said you… harassed her.”

The man's expression was momentarily taken aback, then he smiled wryly and patted Katase Shoya on the shoulder, "About this matter."

"Coach Donggang, is this true?"

"Of course it's not true. Nanao is our club manager. How could I do such a thing? Besides, there are surveillance cameras at school. If I really did it, she would have reported me to the school long ago, wouldn't she?" To be honest, I really didn't run into her at the time.

Even if Akane Nanao insists, there is no evidence.

The man laughed.

There's just a misunderstanding here.

“I knew it. The coach is a good person. How could he do such a thing? Why did Akane insist on leaving the club, and even wanted me to leave with her?” Katase Sho easily believed Higashi Tsuyoshi’s words.

“It must have been Mu Xiaoxiao who instigated it. He was the one who caused the misunderstanding between me and Nanao before,” Dong Gang grabbed his shoulder, his face serious. “Shoya-kun, you have to be careful. That person is quite dangerous and very skilled at dealing with women. I think Nanao’s resignation was caused by him. You are in a very dangerous situation now.”

"It really was him! I knew it! That person must have lied to Akane!" Katase Shoya gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. "No, I have to go and explain things to Akane!"

“Wait, Shoya-kun, Nanao is a bit obsessed with that person now. The more you talk badly about her, the angrier Nanao will be. You absolutely must not mention Mu Xiaoxiao at this time,” Dong Gang said, affectionately putting his arm around Katase Shoya’s shoulder. “I have a way to make you two reconcile.”

"any solution?"

Katase Sho was also looking forward to it, and then he saw Higashi Tsuyoshi pull a bottle of mysterious pink liquid from his pocket with a mischievous grin. "What's this?"

"This is... an aphrodisiac."

what? !

"It's okay if Nanao leaves the club. As your coach, I'll be very happy as long as you can rebuild your relationship. Shoya-kun, send Nanao a bento as an apology, and then add this to it... and then—hehehe."

"Wait, Coach, isn't this...isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Sensing his meaning, Katase Sho's face flushed red. "How could you do something like this?"

"Aren't you two mutually in love? Why is it not good? Besides, with Seven-Tails leaving the club, you won't have to abide by the club's rule against dating. And—Shoya, you need to know how powerful your enemy is. That Mu Xiaoxiao, her looks, temperament, and charm are all top-notch. Plus, you saw her strength; even I was defeated. To deal with such a terrifying enemy, this is the only way, otherwise—"

He moved closer to Katase Shoya and said coldly, "Who knows when that person might beat you to it? Shoya-kun, you don't want to see Nanao's body being played with by Mu Xiaoxiao first, do you?"

Katase Shoya's expression turned deathly pale.

"Given their relationship, they could have a physical relationship at any time. So you have to act quickly, even if it means using such methods."

Dong Gang's patient persuasion was clearly very effective. Katase Shoya had been completely fooled. The thought of his favorite girl hugging Mu Xiaoxiao and doing...doing that kind of thing made him feel a surge of anger. Katase Shoya gritted his teeth and took the small bottle.

"I understand, I'll find an opportunity to use it."

He agreed.

"Then it's up to you. This is all I can do. Shoya-kun, good luck taking down the Seven-Tails." He patted the shoulder and leisurely left. Where Katase Sho couldn't see, the man's lips curled up wildly.

They're so easy to fool, unlike that damned Mu Xiaoxiao, who's completely impervious to reason and has no weaknesses whatsoever. As for taking the medicine he had prepared beforehand, why didn't he use it himself but instead gave it to Xiangye-kun? Of course, it was to find someone to take the blame.

This school is so dangerous. The teachers who tried to do something wrong before are already dead. How could Donggang possibly take the risk himself? He might as well use this naive guy. If he gets caught, he won't be implicated.

But if he wasn't discovered, he would make his move on Nanao! Wouldn't it be easy to snatch a woman from a piece of trash like Katase Shoya?

Tsk, it's a bit troublesome. I hope Katase-kun can make his move soon; I can't wait any longer! If it weren't for that jerk Mu Xiaoxiao, I wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.

Even after Dong Gang's figure disappeared, Katase Shoya remained standing still, his face full of emotion. "Coach, he really is a good person."

Touching the bottle in his pocket, he felt excited at the thought of doing something erotic with Qian. "Qian, she should understand, right?"

Chapter 225 Compared to you, Mu Jun is definitely better.

For two days in a row, Katase Sho didn't find a chance to contact Nanao Akane. Mainly because he was busy with club activities, and also because every time he went to find Akane, he saw her with that transfer student, Mu Xiaoxiao.

Every time Katase Shoya saw the girl he liked chatting and laughing with that guy, he felt a surge of hatred, which strengthened his determination to use the potion his coach had given him.

He was seething with hatred, but Katase Sho didn't dare to confront him directly. Besides hatred, he was also afraid. Even Coach Higashi had lost to him, so it was normal for him to be no match for him, as he was just a first-year student.

The only option is to find an opportunity when he's not around...
