Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"Hmph," the gothic loli turned to Hanako, her face growing even colder. "A ghost? Don't mistake me for that weak and boring thing. I'm not like you; I'm an elf!"

"A spirit? What's that? I've never heard of it before!" Hanako was completely baffled and felt utterly humiliated. "What spirit? You're no different from a yokai or ghost! And you look a bit like a Zashiki-warashi, probably one of those weak yokai!"

"Hehe————"

The Gothic Lolita gave a cold laugh and said nothing. Her expression alone was enough to make Hanako jump up and down in anger. She didn't dare to rush over and fight her, so she could only look at her master with pitiful eyes.

When Mu Xiaoxiao heard about Zashiki-warashi and spirits, her heart stirred, as if she had thought of something.

Tsubakihara Mira watched the scene before her with great interest. Thanks to Mu Xiaoxiao's [Healing Light], her body had recovered to about 70-80%. Whether it was a ghost or an elf, this was the first time she had ever seen such a being.

It wasn't as scary as I imagined; in fact, it was quite cute. Is this the mysterious and extraordinary existence hidden on the other side of the world?

Lady Mira cast her beautiful gaze upon the young man again, her bright eyes holding a special charm. Thinking back to her past curiosity about Mu Jun, and now that she finally knew his secret, the mature and beautiful lady was filled with excitement.

Mu Xiaoxiao's attention wasn't on Hanako and Mira. He squatted down in front of the little girl, carefully observing her appearance. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched the little girl's cheek. It was soft, smooth, and bouncy.

"Ugh—what are you doing—"

The little girl's gloomy and aloof demeanor suddenly crumbled as Mu Xiaoxiao kneaded her, replaced by a soft and adorable appearance. Mu Xiaoxiao found it amusing, released the girl's face, and stroked her head.

"Hmm~"

The cute little girl didn't flinch or avoid him; she squinted her eyes, seemingly enjoying Mu Xiaoxiao's touch.

“Zashiki-warashi…is your name Yashiki-warashi?” Mu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.

"Huh? You know me?" The yashiki-dōji, who had been squinting, suddenly opened her eyes, looking at Mu Xiaoxiao in surprise, then tilted her head back. "Hehehehe, that's right, I am—"

敲。

"Don't make that weird laugh, it's not cute at all."

After being tapped on the head, Yashiki-warashi covered her head, tears welling in her eyes, "Waaah, I know... Master, you know about us spirits?"

"Hey, you know a little about it, right? The existence of Duel Spirits," Mu Xiaoxiao smirked, her gaze wandering elsewhere. As a Duel Spirit, Yashiki-warashi was indeed no ordinary ghost or monster, no wonder she looked down on Hanako.

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised that even Duel Spirits had appeared. Would they start playing cards too? Tsk.

As for Yashiki-dō, she is one of the four sisters of the Teiku-dō. Although she is not as versatile as Ash Blossom, she still has a good effect. Wait, what is Yashiki-dō's effect? ​​Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze sharpened as she glanced at Hanako, who was still hiding behind her.

“I understand now. Yashiki-warashi’s effect is a special attack on graveyards and ghosts after death. No wonder she’s so afraid of you,” Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face. “In this respect, you are her natural enemy.”

Yashiki-warashi proudly raised her little head. In fact, she had no fighting ability and was among the weakest of all spirits. However, Yashiki-warashi's unique effect allowed her to suppress ghosts and other such beings.

As for Mira, Yashiki-dōji could only make her physically uncomfortable; he couldn't truly harm this living human woman.

"Wait, what are you talking about? Master, you know her? She really is a Zashiki-warashi?!" Hanako was confused. "What do you mean by 'my natural enemy'? And why are you calling me 'master' too?!"

Mu Xiaoxiao was taken aback. Hanako's last words left him bewildered. He hadn't really noticed the way Yashiki-dōji addressed her as "master."

"Hmph," Yashiki-warashi completely ignored the ghostly girl. The beautiful gothic lolita girl stared straight at Mu Xiaoxiao, this cold little girl, who seemed to only restrain her sinister aura in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.

“We elves have a legend of fighting alongside our masters, and... you have a very pleasant scent. Although, although you are a lecherous master, it doesn’t matter,” Yashiki-dō said shyly. “I don’t care about these things.”

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

When she spoke of a pleasant scent, was she referring to my charm or my approachability? Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't forgotten her [???] ability; she had received a blessing from a mysterious being and possessed the [Approachability] attribute.

Perhaps it's a combination of both.

"Yashiki-dō, you made Miss Mira sick, was it just to lure me out?" Mu Xiaoxiao seemed to have guessed her purpose.

The little girl with long gray-white hair and a gothic dress glanced at Tsubakihara Mira and took Mu Xiaoxiao's hand. "I smelled the master's scent on her, so I used this method. Don't worry, it won't harm her. It's just mental pressure."

So in the end, Miss Mira was still implicated by me?

Mu Xiaoxiao patted her head.

"It's alright, Mu-kun. We have to thank this Miss Yashiki-dō. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know the secret of this world, let alone the secret of you, Mu-kun~" The beautiful widow sat up, her alluring and sexy face smiling at Mu Xiaoxiao.

Yashiki-warashi stopped speaking, his body transforming into a grayish-white light in the boy's palm, which became a card—the Yu-Gi-Oh! card he was familiar with. It was indeed the three-star monster card Yashiki-warashi, lying quietly in his hand.

Mu Xiaoxiao held it up in front of her and examined it carefully. She ran her fingers over the card, noticing its unique texture and the special energy it contained. "It really is this thing."

"This is the Duel Spirit you were talking about? It's really strange... It doesn't seem to be a product of this world at all." Hanako looked at the effect on the card and immediately understood. No wonder it was her natural enemy, no, to be precise, the natural enemy of all dead life.

"Master, you are truly charming," Hanako said sarcastically, not forgetting Mu Xiaoxiao. "It's one thing for those human girls, but even a special being like you can be attracted to you. She even actively lured you out and called you 'Master.' What a flirtatious guy!"

Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged and pinched Hua Zi's puffed-up face.

With her extraordinary charm and approachable nature, she truly is now a walking beauty drug.

Chapter 299 Substantial Hostility

"Miss Mira, the matter is now settled. I'm truly sorry that you were dragged into this, but it's resolved—" Mu Xiaoxiao put away the Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and gave Tsubakihara Mira an apologetic smile.

Mira's long hair was tied in a ponytail and hung over her shoulders. Having just recovered, she still had the air of a sickly beauty. Coupled with the home pajamas she was wearing, her temperament was quite outstanding, like a gentle and charming Yamato Nadeshiko.

Actually, she was originally a Yamato Nadeshiko type of wife, at least that's how she was at home.

"It's alright. Didn't I tell you? If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have learned the secrets of this world, and the secrets of you, Xiaoxiao." As if getting to know the boy in front of her all over again, she looked him up and down, and finally her gaze settled on the boy's perfect face.

“That ghost girl was right, Mu Jun, you’re quite the charmer! With such outstanding charisma and charm, and a flawless face and body that even I can’t find fault with, you’re practically a heart-wrenchingly handsome young man,” Mira said, sitting on the edge of the bed, elegantly resting her chin on her hand. “Even extraordinary beings are attracted to you, so it’s no wonder I’m infatuated with you, right?”

Mu Xiaoxiao: oO

"Um, Miss Mira, you must be joking, right?"

"Does Mu-kun think I'm joking?" Tsubakihara Mira smiled, her beautiful thin lips pursed. Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not. Was this the rhetoric of a mature adult? Was this the ability of a powerful businesswoman?

"Although I've said it many times, I can't help but say it again, Mu-kun, I'm becoming more and more envious of Risa—"

"..."

Mu Xiaoxiao felt that Tsubakihara Mira was even more troublesome than Izuki Shima, and touched her face, "Mrs. Mira, if you keep saying that, I will really misunderstand."

After saying that, without waiting for Tsubakihara Mira's response, Mu Xiaoxiao said proactively, "Now that things are resolved, I should be going—"

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Tsubakihara Mira seemed to have regained her strength. She suddenly stood up and took Mu Xiaoxiao's hand. The soft touch of her hand came over her, accompanied by the fresh and elegant fragrance of the beautiful young woman. The body fragrance of a mature woman wafted over and filled her nostrils.

It made the boy's heart itch.

Mu Xiaoxiao's initial feelings for Mila were so-so. Although Mila was very beautiful, she wasn't the female lead, so she didn't have any extra appeal to her. However, Mila was undeniably charming, and her repeated flirtations with her made Mu Xiaoxiao's feelings waver.

"After all, it was you, Mu-kun, who helped me. Please stay and have dinner with me as a way of thanking you. Mu-kun, you wouldn't be so rude, would you?" Mira moved closer to the boy, standing right in front of him. At such a close distance, Mu Xiaoxiao could even see the pink bulge under Mira's pajamas.

hiss--

Don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate, don’t look at anything that’s inappropriate.

Turn your head away quickly.

But the fleeting glimpse of the scenery was deeply etched in his mind and could not be erased. Mu Xiaoxiao was no longer an innocent boy, but for some reason, he still couldn't hold back when facing this married woman in front of him.

She's just an ordinary person, but her charm is just too exaggerated.

"Okay, Miss Mira, please change your clothes. I'll wait for you outside—"

Watching Mu Xiaoxiao's fleeing figure disappear behind the door, the orange-haired beauty changed her previous mature and composed demeanor. Instead, she looked down at her pajamas, her cheeks slightly flushed. She realized that she might have just... let something slip, and Mu Jun had seen her embarrassing area.

She quickly covered her prominent breasts, a look of shyness appearing on the face of this sexy beauty.

"I was actually seen... Ugh," a strange feeling welled up in the wife's heart. Although she was ashamed, she was surprisingly not angry. You know, even though Mira always teased and flirted with Mu Xiaoxiao and showed her ambiguous attitude, she was still very happy.

However, Mira always protected herself very well in front of others, never allowing anyone to take advantage of her, not even in the slightest.

But in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, surprisingly—

"But Mu-kun is really interesting, isn't he? He actually has that flustered side," Tsubakihara Mira chuckled, thinking of the boy's retreating figure as he fled. "He's kind of adorably innocent, Mu-kun~~"

As she spoke, Mira extended her bright red tongue and licked her cherry lips and the corners of her mouth, striking a seductive pose. If she was only curious about Mu Xiaoxiao before, then now... all the things that had happened since she met him were making Mira's heart flutter inexplicably.

A bold and dangerous idea gradually began to emerge.

I envy my friend Risa Ogiwara, and it's not just a casual remark, I genuinely envy her, so... Risa, you won't blame me, will you?

Mu Jun is such an amazing young man, even I am captivated by him.

As Tsubakihara Mira thought about it, she took off her pajamas and started changing. Under the healing light of Mu Xiaoxiao's magical healing power, the mental impact on Tsubakihara Mira quickly returned to normal.

"Mother----"

Upon seeing their mother come out, the Tsubakihara sisters rushed over to her.

"Nina, Yuna, Mom is alright now."

Mira stroked her daughter's head, smiling comfortingly.

"You've recovered so quickly? Aunt Mira, why don't you go and rest a bit more? Lie in bed and sleep a little longer," Tsubakihara Yuji said, gazing at the beautiful woman in front of him with concern. "If you're still not feeling well, please don't push yourself."

He couldn't believe that Aunt Mila had recovered so quickly. How could it be so fast? He thought Aunt Mila was just putting on a brave face.

"No, I've recovered. It was just a minor ailment, nothing serious, so don't worry."

"Mom, what exactly is your illness?" Tsubakihara Nina pressed.

"Didn't you ask Mu Jun?"

“I asked him, but he didn’t say,” Tsubakihara Yuna glanced cautiously at Mu Xiaoxiao. Although the boy was handsome and had an attractive aura, Tsubakihara Yuna was rather introverted around strangers, and Tsubakihara Yuji didn’t seem to like him either.

She didn't go over to talk to him.

"Well, since Mu-kun didn't say, I can't tell you either. It's a private matter," Mira winked playfully at Mu Xiaoxiao, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, charming and cute. This little gesture was quite obvious, and her daughter and Tsubakihara Yuji both saw it.

The latter's expression froze, and his face became even more unpleasant.

Tsubakihara Nina looked at Mu Xiaoxiao thoughtfully, feeling that this person was somewhat mysterious and probably had many secrets, which was why her mother was hiding them from her. However, besides these, her mother's attitude towards him was also a bit strange. It was the first time she had seen her mother being so ambiguous with other boys.

You should know that even Tsubakihara Yuuji, who was adopted from a young age, was only treated as an adopted son by his mother, and she would never get close to other men outside. This Mu Xiaoxiao is the first!

No wonder Yuji looked so upset.

Rina had already noticed that Yuji had a special feeling for his mother. He might not have realized it or shown it before, but now, stimulated by Mu Xiaoxiao, it was becoming more and more obvious.

"Mu Jun, we haven't talked about payment yet, have we? Thanks to you for helping me this time, what kind of reward would you like?"

"Forget it," Mu Xiaoxiao was already quite satisfied with getting a card with an elf. "I'll forget about the reward. Miss Mira, didn't you invite me to dinner? This is enough."

"Eat? Aunt Mira, having strangers in the house, wouldn't that be—"

Hearing that he was invited to stay for dinner, Tsubakihara Yuji felt even more uncomfortable.

Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged indifferently, "Looks like someone's not welcoming us, maybe we should just forget about it?"

"Even if Mu-kun didn't save me, he's still my good friend and a guest in my home. What's wrong with him staying at home and having dinner with us? Yuuji, take back what you said earlier—" Tsubakihara Mira frowned in dissatisfaction.

"……Feel sorry."
