Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

The beauty sighed.

"What? Is that so?"

He truly didn't know, but Nakano Maruo suddenly realized, "Teacher, could it be that you're with him out of gratitude... Although I don't know how a high school student like him managed to do it, I'm very grateful for curing your illness, but even so, I can't accept that he—"

"Nakano."

Rena's expression turned cold. "You still don't understand. You think I chose Xiaoxiao out of gratitude? You're mistaken. Do you think I, Rena, would do something like that out of gratitude?"

"..."

“I won’t be with someone I don’t like, no matter how grateful I am to them,” the beautiful woman hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to say it, “like you, Nakano.”

Nakano Maruo: "..."

Confused.

“I am truly grateful for everything you have done for me and for helping me all this time, but I will never accept you because of that. I have always known about your emotional nature, but I just can’t accept it,” she said cruelly.

"teacher……"

The man lowered his hand.

"Because the person I like is Xiaoxiao, I love him. For this reason, I can even accept that he is ambiguous with other girls, or even has a harem. It may seem absurd to you, and I also think it is absurd. If it were the old me, I would never have been able to accept such a thing."

"But now I've accepted it. As long as I can be with him, none of this matters. I'm willing to change for him. Nakano, do you understand what I mean?"

The man stood there silently for a long time before speaking in a hoarse voice, "I understand, I understand. Teacher, you want me to give up, to give up my feelings for you."

"Nakano, you're a good man, and you'll meet a woman who truly loves you. Stop wasting your energy on me—"

Nakano Maruo shook his head. "I understand, teacher. I will give up."

When he saw Reina tell him her thoughts and feelings in person, Nakano knew he couldn't win. Reina's attitude towards Mudou back then wasn't this extreme. "But if one day, teacher, you're wronged, or disappointed in that brat, you can come to me. I'll punch that guy and then pursue you again—"

Lingna was both amused and exasperated; this student was really something.

Nakano Maruo left. Although he was a little disappointed, the teacher's happy expression was genuine. Seeing the teacher happy made him content. In that sense, he should thank Mu Xiaoxiao, who not only cured Reina-sensei but also made her happy... Ugh!

Thank you my ass! That damn brat stole my teacher!

I really wanted to hit him. As I was leaving, I saw Mu Xiaoxiao downstairs with a few little girls. The two of them stared at each other. Nakano Maruo glared at him fiercely, his dead fish eyes filled with murderous intent. He stared for two seconds before getting into his car and leaving.

Mu Xiaoxiao, right? I'll remember you—

Chapter 248

New partners

He looked very sad.

Mu Xiaoxiao stood downstairs at the apartment building, holding May's little hand, watching the luxury car leave. Nakano Maruo left, and he caught the fierce look he gave Mu Xiaoxiao before leaving. However, he didn't think Nakano Maruo's look was 'fierce' at all. Instead, he felt a little pitiful and sad.

All I can say is that Mu Xiaoxiao saw right through this man, including his outwardly strong but inwardly weak pretense.

"Maybe, but life goes on, and this is part of growing up. I hope Nakano can figure it out," Rena said softly, saying things the little girls couldn't understand. May and the others looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, then at their mother, completely bewildered.

"Oh? The reason he's sad is related to you, Lingna?"

"..."

The beautiful and mature woman turned her head and glared at Mu Xiaoxiao with annoyance, "It's not just about me, it's about you too, Xiaoxiao, don't tell me you didn't see it."

This little rascal, knowing full well what she was asking, no, she's deliberately playing Versailles here. Nakano's behavior is so obvious, she doesn't believe Mu Xiaoxiao really can't see through it at all. And what she said isn't wrong either; if it weren't for meeting Xiaoxiao, she would have rejected him so firmly.

Perhaps she compromised for her daughters' sake, but it was precisely this boy's existence that made Rena unable to accept any other men, even if that person was her student, even if Nakano Maruo was a good man.

"Hehehe," Mu Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, tapped her forehead, and made a cute, adorable gesture. "What are you saying? I don't understand~"

"That brat," Rena pinched his cheek with her fingers, not with much force, but rather in an affectionate manner, "You don't understand, do you? If you don't understand, then I'll go tell Nakano to take back what I said to him before—"

"No, I was just kidding," Mu Xiaoxiao quickly grabbed her arm and pressed herself against the beautiful woman's body with a playful smile. "Hehe, so Ling Nai, you've made it clear? You rejected him?"

"Otherwise, I know Nakano's feelings very well. To prevent him from continuing to be obsessed, I have no choice but to be upfront about it. After all, I've already..."

"Already what? Already what?" Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she asked repeatedly with a grin. Ling Nai wanted to pinch Mu Xiaoxiao's face again and change his expression. He was too naughty.

“Go away, May and the others are still here,” Reina said, her daughters were right beside her. She was too embarrassed to say those things, not because she was ashamed, but because she didn’t want her daughters to hear her and didn’t want them to know about her forbidden relationship with Koko.

"Ahem, okay, let's not talk about that for now. Let's go back to Nakano Maruo. He used to be your student, right? He comes from a good family and is good-looking. He's the kind of handsome guy with a melancholic air. Why didn't you take a liking to him back then?"

“…It’s not like you have to fall for someone just because they’re handsome. It’s all about feeling and fate,” Ling Nai said casually, glancing sideways at Mu Xiaoxiao and rolling her eyes at him. “I don’t have those feelings for Nakano. As for fate, my fate might just be waiting for you to appear.”

Mu Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat, her body trembled, and then she gritted her teeth, "Ling Nai, you can say things like that too? I'm starting to be moved by you."

"Alright, let's go back to the apartment first. It's so cold, Yotsuba and the others will catch a cold," Reina smiled gently, winking at her little man. "I invited Ruifei, she'll be coming over later. By the way, was it Natsumi who called you earlier?"

"Well, Xia Hai wanted to ask me out, but when he found out I was here, he had to give up."

“It’s okay for you to go with her,” Ling Nai had already accepted Mu Xiaoxiao’s harem-building behavior and even took the initiative to think about him. She was not as strict as she was at school. She was like a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko. No wonder she was the dream girl of all the boys at school. She was too perfect.

“Since you’ve already called me Consort Rui, I think I’ll stay here. I haven’t been able to spend much time with you lately, have I?” Mu Xiaoxiao softened her tone. “I’ve already decided to spend this weekend with you.”

"Xiaoxiao..."

If her daughter hadn't been there, Lingnai might have thrown herself into his arms. The beautiful woman's heart was pounding, and she was so touched that she felt like she was melting. She was even a little aroused, feeling that what she and Xiaoxiao had done last night wasn't enough, and she wanted to continue being intimate with him.

Rena forcibly suppressed this flutter in her heart.

Back home, while her mother was making tea in the kitchen, Yotsuba looked at the boy strangely and said, "Big brother, your relationship with Mom seems a little strange."

"Ahem, Yotsuba, there's nothing strange about it. I have a very good relationship with Rena-sensei. Although we're called teacher and student, we're as close as siblings," Mu Xiaoxiao said nonsensically, "like family."

"Family? So, does that mean we and our older brother are family too?"

“Well, it’s fine if you think that way. Anyway, if you run into any trouble, I’ll help you,” Mu Xiaoxiao patted her chest loudly and put her arm around Siye’s shoulder. “We’re family.”

Will the big brother give us gifts?

"what?"

"Christmas presents! Christmas is coming soon. Aren't we family? Big brother will give us presents, right?" Mu Xiaoxiao's lips twitched at the sight of May's innocent eyes.

I have a feeling that I've been tricked.

"Yes, gifts and everything, we have them all."

The little girls ran happily to their rooms to play, excitedly discussing what Christmas presents they would receive. Mu Xiaoxiao and Ling Nai sat facing each other at a low table. The beautiful red-haired woman took a sip of tea, a little worried that Xiaoxiao might misbehave.

The daughters were in the room, separated only by a door, which couldn't block out any noise. What if they were discovered?

Despite her worries, she also felt a little excited. After all, Rena was a woman of that age, and she was also a little itchy and restless.

"Lingnai, I told you about skipping class a few days ago, right?" However, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't do anything wrong, nor did she pounce on him directly. Instead, she spoke seriously about the matter at hand, "about that evil spirit girl, the urban legend."

"You've mentioned it before, what happened?"

"That ghost girl is right here," Mu Xiaoxiao said, intending to introduce her to his girlfriends, since Hanako was practically one of them now. He snapped his fingers, "She's our new partner, you see—"

Rena's eyes widened as she watched the black-haired girl float down from the ceiling, gradually solidifying. Fortunately, she wasn't the ordinary person she used to be, and she quickly calmed down, only to think of one question: "Was she here last night too?"

"Oh."

Before Mu Xiaoxiao could answer, Hua Zi angrily put her hands on her hips and said, "Xiaoxiao, you guys did that kind of thing without me. That's too much!"

Rena: "..."

Why does a vengeful spirit act like a resentful woman?

"Mu Xiaoxiao, you are truly sinful," Ling Nai said with a kind smile. "Welcome, but Xiaoxiao, what about evil spirits? Won't they affect Ichika and the others—"

"Don't worry about that. Hanako's body has started to evolve because of me, cough cough," Mu Xiaoxiao coughed, feeling her scalp tingle from Reina's disdainful gaze. "She's different from ordinary evil spirits and won't affect Ichika and Nino."

“I can control my power freely, and I’m no longer bound by urban legends and that old school building,” Hanako excitedly spun around several times, then jumped onto the boy’s back and hugged his neck affectionately. “These are all gifts from Xiao Xiao.”

Hanako was very happy. "The outside world is so interesting, and it has changed so much. I don't even recognize it anymore."

Upon learning of Hanako's origins, Reina frowned deeply, a hint of anger visible in her expression. "Hanako from the toilet, huh? I've heard of that urban legend too. I thought it was just a made-up story, but it turns out it's true. A girl who was killed by school violence, tsk."

As a conscientious and responsible teacher, she simply couldn't stand by and watch this kind of thing happen.

“Senpai-sensei is a good person, but it doesn’t matter. Those people died at my hands long ago, and I’ve already taken my revenge,” Hanako said quietly. Rena’s lips twitched, and she realized that this urban legend wasn’t as friendly as it seemed.

It's because she's so intimate with Xiaoxiao, but in reality, this evil spirit girl has also crippled many people. However, since Xiaoxiao has already been subdued, Lingnai won't express any opinion. Anyway, she unconditionally trusts the boy she likes.

"Compared to Hanako's plight and her enemies, we should actually pay more attention to the exorcist I met that day," Mu Xiaoxiao said, letting the evil spirit girl lie on her back, the fullness of her body pressing and flattening against her back.

“Ling Nai, I learned some important information from him. Exorcists and Onmyoji do exist, although that’s just what they call themselves,” Mu Xiaoxiao said slowly. “These people don’t know how they obtained their power. They just gained superpowers that transcended ordinary people one day.”

"So, those so-called Onmyoji were just ordinary people before? Why did they become like this?"

"Well, I don't know," Mu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "I wasn't even born back then."

“This world is getting weirder and weirder, and exorcists… they sound really powerful, but the things they do are kind of bizarre,” Rena shook her head. “Xiaoxiao, what do you plan to do?”

“Let’s continue to develop the cult, and let the Femme Fatales Society help us gather information on those people. Thinking about it, joining the cult back then was actually a good choice,” Mu Xiao said, resting her chin on her hand and smiling at Ling Nai, “and you guys too.”

Lingna laughed along, feeling the abundant power within her body and this perfect and powerful physique. "We can help too. Ruifei will be here soon, so let's discuss the matter of the Order with her."

Nishikino Ruifei is not only Rena's best friend, but after joining the Feishin Society, this mature and steady lady also holds a voice in the organization. Mu Xiaoxiao's trust in her is not just because Ruifei is one of her own.

She is also very capable.

Hmm, and there's also that one from Hokkaido, Risa Ogiwara, who shouldn't be underestimated either. Without realizing it, the cult has grown so large.

Chapter 249

The friendship between the two ladies

"Zero Nai—"

Nishikino Mizuki arrived quickly. Her beautiful face, adorned with a captivating beauty mark and long red hair, was beaming with a radiant smile. However, Rena felt that the smile was probably more for Koko.

When I called earlier, Ruifei said she was busy with work today, but as soon as Xiaoxiao was mentioned, she quickly changed her mind and rushed over.

"Xiaoxiao, good morning too!"

"Alright, alright, stop pretending. There are no outsiders here," Ling Nai said, handing her a cup of tea. "I know what kind of relationship you two have, so don't put on an act."

"Is that so, Rena? Then I won't stand on ceremony—"

After Nishikino Ruifei finished speaking, she wrapped her arms around Mu Xiaoxiao's neck and pressed her slender and voluptuous body against him, pressing intimately together. Without saying a word, she kissed his lips. It was a different feeling from Ling Nai's, but equally sweet and equally intoxicating.

Seeing the two of them kissing, Rena shook her head helplessly. To be honest, she was a little jealous... Nishikino Mizuki was her best friend, and seeing her best friend sharing her boyfriend made her somewhat conflicted.

However, Lingnai quickly suppressed her jealousy. Ruifei had also had a hard time. Unlike herself, she had been badly wronged by Tomie. If Tomie hadn't appeared, her family might not have been torn apart.

However, Reina felt that if Nishikino Mizuki were to choose, she would probably still choose Koko; that boy just had that kind of magic.
