Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Nakiri Managi frowned. She didn't believe the boy's strange words either, mainly because he was too young and not convincing enough. But... after staring at Mu Xiaoxiao for a long time, even Nakiri Managi had to admit the boy's charm.

But she wasn't the kind of person who judged by looks. What caught her attention wasn't Mu Xiaoxiao's charm, but rather the mysterious aura he exuded, which made Nakiri Managi instinctively feel that this boy was no ordinary person.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"I'm just here to remind you. If you don't believe me, I won't force you. If you need help, I can lend you a hand or find other special beings to assist you, but that depends on luck."

"Is Anne now plagued by bad luck? What will be the consequences?"

“The odds are that she’ll just be plagued by bad luck for the rest of her life, but the odds are... that she’ll die a terrible death. But I’ll have to see what that thing is for sure,” Mu Xiaoxiao could sense the ominous aura emanating from them, but she didn’t know exactly what they had encountered. “It’s not just her, you were affected too.”

"Lord Managi?!"

For some reason, even though this guy was just a kid, his words were inexplicably convincing, especially since he mentioned the person she respected most, Nagi-sama. Annie couldn't help but feel scared and nervously looked at Nagi-sama.

"Samagi-sama..."

“Interesting,” Nakiri Managi interrupted Anne. She suddenly remembered the Himekami Association and Izuki Shima, whom she had known for some time. That woman, like the boy in front of her, also had a mysterious air about her. Whether it was true or not, Nakiri Managi decided to wait and see.

If it were anyone else, she would have sent them away long ago. It was Mu Xiaoxiao's charm and uniqueness that made Nakiri Managi change her mind. "Although I still don't quite believe what you said... but Annie is, after all, an important subordinate of mine, and I happen to have a lot of free time right now. What's your name?"

"Mu Xiaoxiao".

"Mu Xiaoxiao... doesn't seem Japanese. How can you help us?"

"Take me to where you live. If I'm not mistaken, that thing should be in your house."

Nakiri Managi didn't refuse and agreed immediately. Seeing that Lady Managi agreed, Anne couldn't refuse anymore. Shiina Chizuru, on the other hand, was full of questions. Wasn't today my date with Koko? Why did this suddenly happen?

This wasn't just her question; it was also the question of Nakiri Managi and Annie. Only the ghostly girl Hanako above Mu Xiaoxiao's head revealed herself, staring at the two women and muttering, "This feeling is definitely right, it's some kind of urban legend, and it's kind of like me..."

Besides being puzzled, Chizuru was also very curious: did evil spirits and monsters really exist in the world? Nakiri Managi and Anne were both skeptical, but although Chizuru had never come into contact with these mysterious things, she believed his words after looking at his small profile.

Although she didn't know why, she just trusted him.

"Xiaoxiao, do ghosts and monsters really exist?" Shiina Chizuru asked softly beside Mu Xiaoxiao. The girl's ample breasts brushed against his arm intentionally or unintentionally. It was unclear whether Shiina Chizuru was oblivious or doing it on purpose, allowing Mu Xiaoxiao to take advantage of her.

“Of course there is, there’s one right next to me,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, glancing sideways. “You just haven’t seen it.”

Eh? !

Chizuru shuddered, her chest trembling. A ghost right next to Xiaoxiao?! She nervously looked around, but saw nothing.

Annie and Nakiri Managi, who were ahead of him, exchanged bewildered glances. They had also heard his words and were quite unsettled. Was the boy telling the truth, or was he lying? Lost in thought, the group arrived at their hotel room.

"Mu Jun, right? You..."

Just as Nakiri Managi opened her mouth, the rest of her words suddenly caught in her throat. This domineering woman suddenly widened her eyes, and Annie next to her also had a shocked expression, as if she had seen something terrifying. Shiina Chizuru even clung tightly to Mu Xiaoxiao's arm.

They completely disregarded the fact that their bodies were being taken advantage of.

In her line of sight, a semi-transparent figure floated in the air and appeared in front of Mu Xiaoxiao; it was Hua Zi.

"Little one, it's here. I sense a similar aura—"

What is that?! A ghost?!

In an instant, Nakiri Managi's worldview collapsed.

Chapter 271 Nakiri Managi's Hope

When she saw a ghostly girl appear out of nowhere, Nakiri Managi was stunned. She even wondered if she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes for a long time before she could hardly believe that what she saw was real and not a hallucination.

That thing was actually real! I actually saw a ghost! This... this kind of thing...

It's only because Nakiri Managi has a strong mental fortitude; otherwise, look at Anne next to her, with that inexplicably funny facial expression, she's become a complete comedic character, even showing some fear. After all, it's normal for humans to feel fear towards the unknown.

"Xiaoxiao, she, she is..." Shiina Chizuru moved even closer to Mu Xiaoxiao, clearly able to smell the girl's fragrance, and her soft body was incredibly supple—

Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to keep her eyes straight ahead, but this was too big! It was comparable to the size of Kasumi and Tsubaki, and even Nakiri Managi wasn't this exaggerated. Was this the power of the female protagonist in this story?

"Hanako," Mu Xiaoxiao didn't hide the ghost girl's identity, "Hanako the toilet, ever heard of her?"

"Urban legend?!"

Nakiri Managi and Shiina Chizuru were still completely confused, but urban legends were quite familiar to a young high school girl like Shiina Chizuru. However, she never expected that the urban legend would actually be true, and that it would actually be related to Xiao Xiao.

Unexpected, but upon closer reflection, it seems to make sense. Mu Jun is a mysterious figure at school, and what's amazing is not just his charm, but also his overwhelming excellence in sports and other aspects.

It turns out he wasn't an ordinary person to begin with.

"This is truly... I've seen something incredible," it took Nakiri Managi a long time to calm down. Even with her divine tongue, she thought it was just a family-inherited ability. But seeing a ghost completely shook her worldview.

Then came the mysterious Itsuki Shima and the Himejin-kai she mentioned. Nakiri Managi didn't know why she thought of them. Perhaps Managi used to think of them as liars or a cult, but now, she might have a different opinion.

However, the current matter is more important.

While they were lost in thought, Hanako had already walked around the room, saying as she went, "That's right, I am an urban legend. You didn't know, did you? The one here is something similar to me."

"Is it some kind of urban legend?" Mu Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. His gaze was already fixed on the corner of the sofa in the hotel room, where there was a bag. In his vision, something in the bag was constantly emitting some strange power, seemingly attracting him.

Hanako also forgot the past. The ghost girl floated leisurely above the bag. "That's right. Only the bizarre things born from urban legends need this kind of cognitive power, just like me before. Little one, this is it."

Hanako landed on the ground and reached into the bag. Soon, the other three women saw her take out a cassette tape.

“I found it in a video store after I came to Japan,” Annie slowly recalled. “But wasn’t it a video about cooking? Why did it become an urban legend?”

"Judging from what you're saying, you probably haven't seen it before," Mu Xiaoxiao already knew what that disk was. Seeing the food cover on the outer packaging, her lips twitched. "This thing is quite dangerous. I should have shown it to you, but considering you're just ordinary people, I'll pass."

He took the cassette tape from Hanako and said, "I'll take it. Don't worry, without this thing you won't be affected by the curse and will slowly return to normal."

To be honest, Nakiri Managi's curiosity was piqued, and she really wanted to see what was on that cassette tape. However, considering the warning from the mysterious boy, she ultimately gave up the idea, since both Nakiri Managi and Anne were people who cherished life.

Having already witnessed the ghost girl's presence, there's no need to take any further risks.

However, besides these, Mu Xiaoxiao's identity, his power, and these so-called urban legends aroused Nakiri Managi's strong curiosity. She wanted to get to the bottom of it, as if she had opened the door to a new world, where there were secrets she didn't know.

This made Nakiri Managi waver.

Maybe……

“Of course you can,” she said. Although she was as curious as a baby, she knew it would be impolite to ask the boy about these secrets. Nakiri Managi wasn’t a socially awkward little girl either. “This is the first time I’ve ever known that this world is full of dangers… Curses, huh? Maybe I won’t be so lucky if I encounter something dangerous like this again.”

After saying that, he smiled at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "Mu Jun, may I have your contact information? If I encounter danger again, can I ask you for help?"

"of course can."

Mu Xiaoxiao did not refuse, and Annie did not object. Although the tape was hers, she was obviously following the orders of Lady Nakiri Managi. After exchanging email addresses, Lady Nakiri Managi wanted to keep him around.

"As a token of my gratitude, Mr. Mu, would you like to stay for dinner? I would like to treat you to a proper meal."

Anne was astonished. Lady Managi was cooking? Ever since the side effects of the God Tongue kicked in, Lady Managi hadn't cooked at all. And now she was cooking for this boy... Ugh, could it be that Lady Managi wanted to build a good relationship with him and try to get information about those supernatural beings from him?

It turned out to be the case.

"No need for dinner, let's do it next time. Maybe we'll see each other again soon," Mu Xiaoxiao declined Nakiri Managi's invitation, even though he was very curious about just how amazing this God Tongue's cooking was, and whether the title of 'Spirit of X Medicine' was really that powerful.

But then he thought better of it; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. He was already imagining the expression on Nakiri Managi's face when she saw him at the Himegami Gathering—it would definitely be quite a sight.

After Mu Xiaoxiao and Qianhe left with mischievous smiles, only Annie and Nakiri Managi remained in the hotel. With the room now empty, Annie shrank her neck in this familiar room, feeling a chill in the air.

Clearly, the discomfort and horror of witnessing the ghost firsthand was still there. Although she hadn't shown it, the thought of the cursed tape made her involuntarily swallow hard. "Managi-sama..."

"Annie, why is your face so pale? Are you scared?" Nakiri Managi noticed her subordinate's mood.

"I... I felt it was very dangerous. Urban legends and curses and stuff... I actually brought this dangerous thing back. My own safety is one thing, but I almost... almost dragged Managi-sama into trouble. I'm so sorry!"

The thought of the consequences still sends shivers down my spine.

“Oh… don’t worry about it, it’s all over now, isn’t it? As long as the result is good, that’s all that matters. Besides, if it weren’t for you, Annie, I wouldn’t have known that this world still holds so many secrets,” a smile gradually appeared on Nakiri Managi’s face.

Her initially reserved smile gradually widened, eventually turning into a frenzy. The elegance and composure she had displayed in front of the boy vanished completely. "So, I should thank you, Annie."

"Eh? Lady Managi, you mean..."

Annie didn't understand.

"The God Tongue has troubled me for so many years, and I've never seen any hope. I thought I would be like this forever, but now—" Nakiri Managi paused for a while, turned to look at Anne, and then smiled as she said, "Now, isn't there hope?"

"Lady Managi! You mean to say—!"

Annie's eyes widened in astonishment, then lit up with elation, before she frowned again. "But, can the hidden supernatural powers of those worlds really save Lady Managi... Ah, I'm not cursing Lady Managi, I'm just a little worried..."

“I understand your concerns, Anne, but at least there’s much more hope than before, isn’t there?” Nakiri Managi’s eyes shone brightly at that moment. “Not just me, Erina finally has hope too, to use her supernatural powers to eliminate the side effects of God’s Tongue.”

“This boy named Mu Xiaoxiao might be our hope—no, she paused halfway through her sentence, her gaze sharpening as if she had thought of something. She turned her head sharply, “Quick, go and contact Itsuki Shima. Tell her I want to meet with her. If possible, it would be best to arrange it at that cult called the Himejin-kai.”

"Lady Managi, do you mean—"

Upon hearing the sudden mention of Itsuki Shima's meeting with Himekami, Annie understood. "Could it be—"

Nagi's breathing became rapid, and her face, which had been somewhat malnourished, was now incredibly rosy. "Izuki... including the Consort Society he mentioned before, is very likely an existence with abilities similar to Mu Jun's."

"Lady Managi, does that mean that when Miss Itsuki said she could cure your God Tongue, it wasn't a lie?"

Nakiri Managi nodded, "Yes, I was blind to your greatness back then, Itsuki..."

"I understand, I'll contact Miss Yiyue right away!"

Since it concerned Lady Managi's God Tongue, Anne also became serious. After she left, only Nakiri Managi was left sitting on the sofa. She was unaware that she had just met the leader of the Himegami Society. This WGO Special Class Executive Officer fell into deep thought.

Recalling what Itsuki Shima said to me back then, and her confidence when she said she could cure my God Tongue, I thought she was a cult fraudster at the time. Now, I realize that I was short-sighted.

"The Goddess of the Feast... Let's go and see what's going on with this order."

Even if she was wrong, it didn't matter. At the very least, she still had Mu Jun's contact information. Nakiri Managi's bright red lips curved into a smile.

Chapter 272 Urban Legend - Sadako

"I've heard some urban legends before, but I always thought they were just stories. I never imagined—"

Hanako's figure had already disappeared into the air, and Shiina Chizuru was still staring at her surroundings with lingering fear, nervously hiding next to Mu Xiaoxiao. She was terrified of things like urban legends, ghosts, and monsters.

"Has that ghost lady always been by your side, Xiaoxiao?" Shiina Chizuru asked anxiously.

"Yes, she usually doesn't show up, but Chizuru, you don't need to worry, Hanako isn't dangerous."

"I've heard the legend of the Toilet Flower Girl, how could it not be dangerous?" Shiina Chizuru was still a little scared, but this time she seemed to realize that she was too close to Mu Xiaoxiao, and her ample breasts were pressing against his body.

The aura emanating from the boy caused Chizuru's body to react strangely. This feeling of weakness made her face flush, and even her fear dissipated.

Hormones are gradually...

"That was in the past. Hanako is different now, Chizuru. Don't worry, she might even help you if you're in danger—"

Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao say that, and feeling the same sense of security he always provided, Shiina Chizuru was no longer afraid. However, she was also a little reluctant to leave Mu Xiaoxiao; the inexplicable feeling in her heart made her want to stay like this forever…

I want to be with him
