Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Hmm, it looks harmonious, but something just doesn't feel right.

“Sayu, is that your mother?” Kasumi nudged Sayu’s shoulder. “Didn’t you say your mother was a scary person? I don’t think she’s as scary as you said. She even booked a hotel for us. That’s so extravagant.”

"Was that for you? It was clearly for Xiaoxiao," Ogiwara Sayu said through gritted teeth, her voice trembling with anger. "She even brought out roses. How old are you to still be so childish?"

"..."

Kasumi Haruno's lips twitched; what a loving mother and filial daughter!

Xia Hai Ruo Mu and the others looked at the roses with embarrassment, their impression of Sha You's mother was refreshed. They originally thought she was a noblewoman similar to Ling Nai and Miss Rui Fei, but unexpectedly she was like a girl in love.

"How is it, Xiaoxiao? These were all specially prepared for you. They're not just for entertainment, but gifts for you. How do you like them?"

“…I like it, but this is enough. I’m worried that next time you’ll parade through the streets of Tokyo with a line of luxury cars,” Mu Xiaoxiao was also under a lot of pressure.

"No, but it's hard to say for the wedding. It has to be a big event."

"wedding?!"

Seeing Zi cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise, her little head steaming like a steamed egg, "So soon, a wedding?"

“Miko, this was just something Mrs. Ogiwara said casually. There’s no sign of a wedding for Koko yet,” Reina smiled.

“You can’t say that. Xiaoxiao is an adult now, and many high school students get married. She can get married anytime she wants. Besides—” Ogihara Risa stroked her wrist, inadvertently revealing the ring on her ring finger, “She’s already given a ring, which is basically equivalent to a proposal~”

It appears to be revealed unintentionally, but there are obvious signs of deliberate intent.

Even Rurikawa Tsubaki and the others were speechless. This woman was so strange.

“If it’s a ring, you don’t need to worry, because all the girls here have one,” Rena said, shaking her own ring with a smile. “If we’re really going to have a wedding, everyone here will be included.”

Risa Ogihara's face froze.

"It's clear that Ms. Risa is a woman who is very focused on love. Normally, someone like you can't tolerate any imperfections, but you can accept a little bit of harem behavior. I admire you."

"..."

Risa Ogiwara was at a disadvantage.

Seeing that the conversation between the two was getting increasingly awkward, Mu Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine and had no choice but to change the subject, "Ahem, um... why hasn't Yi Yue arrived yet? Where is she?"

“Miss Itsuki went to get the gift,” Nishikino Mizuki said, resting her chin on her hands and quietly admiring the little man she liked. As for the rivalry between Reina and Risa, she didn’t care. They were all on her side anyway. “It’s a gift that Reina and I prepared.”

"Originally, Izuki Shima had also prepared Christmas gifts, but according to her, something seemed to have happened."

misfortune?

A dozen minutes later, Izuki Shimo arrived late. Mu Xiaoxiao knew what had happened. She could only say, "Miss Izuki, it has to be you. You actually wanted to give me a woman as a gift. Are you really planning to continue pimping to the end?"

"What a pity, that Nakiri Managi is a bit difficult to deal with. I originally wanted to persuade her to join the cult on Christmas Day, but... she tricked me," Itsuki Shima rarely showed a frustrated expression. Both Ruifei and Reina were people she had recruited through various means.

She was quite skilled, and this was the first time she had suffered a setback, so it's no wonder she was so unhappy.

"Things like that should just be left to nature," Mu Xiaoxiao said, not knowing what else to say, and could only give an awkward smile.

"What's inside?" Kasumi Natsumi and the others were more interested in what was inside the box. They patted the huge gift box, and Haruno Kasumi shook Mu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "Hurry up and open it to see what's inside, let's see what Reina-sensei gave us?"

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded and, under the expectant gazes of many, opened the gift box. The first thing that caught her eye was a pile of books. Nanao Akane was dumbfounded. "Books? As expected of Reina-sensei, all the gifts she gives are books."

“Wait, this isn’t the kind of study book you’re thinking of,” Si Cheng Xingli’s amethyst eyes widened as she stepped forward abruptly. “This, this is a comic book.”

Brand new comic books were piled up, along with all sorts of game consoles, handhelds, home consoles, and even luxurious accessories—everything imaginable. Mu Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.

"This……"

The others fell silent, glancing at Nishikino Mizuki, then at Mu Xiaoxiao, before finally fixing their gaze on Rena. Rena-sensei… a teacher giving away comic books and game consoles? This… isn’t this too incongruous?

When Ying Shangxia saw Mu Xiaoxiao's rapid breathing and her unwavering gaze, she immediately understood: this guy... those things just happened to hit his strike zone!

Even though my gift was better and more meaningful, and in contrast, Lingna's class level plummeted, why, why do I feel like I've lost?

"Zero, these things..."

"What's wrong? You should really like Xiaoxiao, right?"

"...I do like it, but why? I didn't expect you to actually buy a game console."

"If you like it, I'll buy it for you. What's the big deal? Besides, I also think it's good for you to relax and play games occasionally, little one."

Risa Ogihara, standing right next to Rena, watched this scene unfold. For some reason, she also felt a sense of defeat. Was she trying to say, "Do you understand Koko better than I do?" Damn it, this woman... But she had to admit, this woman posed a huge threat.

"Alright, stop staring at it. Let Izuki take it back later. Let's eat first. Miss Risa prepared a special dinner. Let's all eat together and spend Christmas Eve together—"

The huge hotel restaurant was bustling with activity, filled with women, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere. Even Risa Ogihara had to admit that she felt a long-lost sense of home. She kept watching them while eating, and these girls truly understood and accepted each other's presence.

I really can’t imagine it.

After dinner, Mu Xiaoxiao tried to sneak away to play games, but was caught by Ling Nai. His plan to escape under the pretext of playing games failed, and the gloomy-faced boy was dragged into the room by several wolf-like wives.

“Miss Risa, would you like to come along?” Itsuki Shima smiled ambiguously. “If you don’t want to, you won’t have the chance to eat the cult leader today.”

This is just a bunch of... This is ridiculous!

However, Ogiwara Risa silently shed tears and followed them inside with mixed feelings.

Then Sakura Natsumi and the others exchanged glances, their pretty faces flushing red as they realized what was about to happen. So many people... But, today is a special day, so let's just give it a try.

Chapter 259 Eavesdropping

Late at night, Yotsuya Miko couldn't sleep. Wearing her pajamas, she left her room, glanced hesitantly at Mu Xiaoxiao's room a few more times, and finally sighed softly. She didn't dare to join them and could only take the elevator downstairs.

To their surprise, Ruomu and Matsubara Touka were both there; the two were old acquaintances. Also present was Ogihara Sayu. The group was chatting about something when they heard the commotion and all looked towards the newcomers. Ruomu smiled at Yotsuya Miko, "Miko, aren't you asleep yet?"

"Hmm, I have trouble sleeping."

"I thought you'd go straight to that little room..." Matsubara Touka sat on the large sofa, resting his chin on his hands, and chuckled, "You should know what they're doing in there, right? Why didn't you go with them?"

"this--"

Yotsuya Miko was speechless when asked the question. She didn't know why she hadn't joined in. "That kind of thing is too, too absurd."

Actually, it was because she wasn't ready yet, and it really was absurd that so many people would be together, which made her feel weird, so she didn't go. But because of this, Jianzi couldn't sleep at night because she was feeling conflicted, so she had to come out for some fresh air, and she didn't expect to run into them.

"Donghua-chan, you still talk about seeing children, but aren't you the same way?" Ruomu silently stared at her former classmate. The old Songyuan Donghua was frail and sickly, but after that incident, she had always shown a sickly and delicate demeanor.

But what's wrong with her now? Sitting on the sofa, she looks so delicate and frail. If someone who didn't know the inside story saw her, they would think she was an elegant and introverted young girl. What happened to Dong Hua? Has she gone back to her old self?

Even seeing their absurd behavior, I no longer feel yandere?

"You didn't come along? Could it be that you...?"

"Senior Ruomu, don't misunderstand, I'm not giving up on Xiaoxiao," Songyuan Donghua tilted her head and made a cute expression. "I just don't want to give away my first time at this time. Of course, it has to be when I'm alone with Xiaoxiao, so I'll just leave it for today and let them have it for now."

At this point, she muttered resentfully, "Looking at it this way, it seems like Nishiki Chizuka got the better deal, hmph~"

Ruomu and Miko exchanged a glance. Well, it seems Donghua-chan still harbors some resentment. Ruomu poured Miko a glass of water, and then heard the latter ask her curiously, "Ruomu-kun, do you like Xiaoxiao too?"

"Huh? Why are you bringing me up all of a sudden?" Ruomu's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly regained her composure and said, "I didn't. I just... consider him a regular friend."

"Senior Ruomu, based on what I know about you, you wouldn't accept an invitation from an ordinary friend," Songyuan Donghua chuckled, then slumped his shoulders. "Sigh, really, you used to be the older brother, now you're the little one, we always seem to run into each other."

Ruomu moved her lips, unsure how to explain. The flustered girl could only lower her head and drink water as a cover, but in her heart she agreed with Dong Hua's statement. However, unlike Matsubara Hōichi, Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to be more popular and had more girls around her.

That's too much pressure!

Moreover, Xiaoxiao is even more shameless than Matsubara Hōichi. She simply accepts anyone who comes her way, Ruomu thought, but she didn't dislike her. On the contrary, she felt that Xiaoxiao was more unique. If she weren't like that, she wouldn't have had the chance.

After all, they are newcomers.

But to be honest, I was one of the first people to meet him. It's just that back then, I didn't have Xia Hai's courage. That was probably the first time I lost to Xia Hai.

"Where's Shayou? She seems to be with Xiaoxiao too, but what about your mother..."

Ogiwara Sayu said with a dark face, "Mom, humph, even if it's Mom, I won't lose."

Despite saying that, she really didn't have any confidence.

The air was heavy with dejection.

"Ugh, looking at it this way, we look like the losers. Honestly, instead of sleeping, you all had to come out here. Go back to your rooms and rest!"

Before she could finish speaking, Sakura Natsumi came out of the elevator. The girl was only wearing a thin nightgown, her hair was messy, and there was a faint trace of sweat on her forehead. Her delicate face was flushed. Although she was still a young girl, she had a lazy feeling about her.

Dong Hua and Ruo Mu were very familiar with her, but Xia Hai still seemed somewhat unfamiliar at this moment. She didn't feel like the Xia Hai of the past, but rather like a different person, giving off the mature feeling of a newlywed young woman.

Her radiant appearance, the hickeys on her neck, and the thin nightgown all contributed to a rather suggestive feeling.

"Yi? Ruomu, and Dong Huajianzi? You're all here?"

"Xia Hai, why are you out? Is it over already?" Songyuan Donghua asked sourly.

Xia Hai, you've changed so much without me even noticing. You must have had a lot of fun inside just now, probably quite satisfied. You can still smell the lingering scent on her, and that mature aura she exudes. Unlike them, she's a mature woman now.

Tsk.

"No, I just came out for a drink of water and a short rest. Xiao Xiao was too reckless and made me so thirsty, ugh~" Xia Hai said, feeling a little embarrassed. He then picked up a water glass from the table and gulped it down.

"Phew, I was almost drained dry, but I'm finally alive."

"What kind of lewd words are these?" Ruomu thought with a resentful look in her eyes. "That's my water glass..." But looking at Xia Hai's alluring pink lips, she inexplicably thought, "Xiao Xiao must have kissed her lips hard, right? Does that mean it counts as an indirect kiss?" Her heart skipped a beat, and Ruomu's lips twitched violently.

What a bizarre idea!

Ah, just like Dong Hua said, it's like being a loser!

"And what are you doing here?"

"I'll rest here so you won't keep me awake," Dong Hua said with a grin.

"Huh? No way, the soundproofing is really good, boohoo... Dong Hua, are you teasing me?"

"Tch, that's what happens when you act all smug."

"I'm not proud at all."

"You may not have it, but your body does. You look satisfied; you must have been little satisfied, right?"

"..."

Sakura Natsumi blushed. She also realized that her body was a little aroused, but since the hotel had been booked by Mrs. Ogiwara and there were no outsiders, she didn't pay much attention to it. Moreover, she had just had relations with Xiaoxiao, and that special mature woman's temperament was impossible to hide.

And Dong Hua was right, she was indeed well-fed and satisfied, so she couldn't refute it.

"Well, I'll head back now. You guys should get some rest too, bye-bye—"

Watching Natsumi's figure disappear into the elevator in a flash, the remaining girls exchanged glances. Ogihara Sayu clapped her hands, "Shall we go eavesdrop?"

"Huh? Eavesdropping?"
