Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Hanako happily hugged Mu Xiaoxiao's arm. It was nighttime, and Hanako's strength was even greater than during the day. Although she had always been by her master's side, it was precisely because of this that she knew just how popular her master was.

I've never lacked girls around me, and now it's great that I can finally monopolize my master for a while. I'm so happy.

The only thing that might cause some dissatisfaction is these flirtatious women who try to pick you up. I don't know if these women have become bolder at night, or if they're just encountering hot girls or mature women who like to take the initiative.

From the very beginning, women would always come up to chat with or flirt with the owner.

Hanako was filled with righteous indignation, but she couldn't bring herself to hurt them.

"I said, why are you playing so late again today? Luckily it's spring break, otherwise I would have to catch up on sleep at school."

"That's precisely why we should have fun during the holidays! I even wanted to stay up all night, if it weren't for my skin... So, Hui Nai? The guys you invited this time were pretty good, right? Did you see anyone you liked?"

Just then, a group of young men and women came out of the KTV. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. The girl with short red hair and the girl with long blonde hair and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye seemed to be the center of this group of popular people.

The red-haired girl named Ena possessed beauty that rivaled that of Anri and Kasumi, but her expression was somewhat gloomy. "Tonghua, I've already told you I have no plans to date for the time being. Honestly, singing is singing, I don't want anything else—"

Before she could finish speaking, the long-haired girl named Tong Hua next to her suddenly shook her best friend's shoulder. Her eyes lit up as she looked ahead and pointed in a direction, "Over there! Hui Nai, look over there!"

"what?"

Following her best friend's finger, she saw a young man's figure in the night. His perfect face and mysterious aura made him appear somewhat beautiful and dreamlike in the dim moonlight, as if he were not of this world.

Even Ena Asukai, who kept saying she wouldn't date, was stunned.

"Huina, that guy is so handsome, no, not just handsome... It's the first time I've ever seen such a unique guy. Should we go over and chat him up?"

Chapter 303 Are you a fox demon?

Ena Asukai is a very popular girl at school.

Not only because of her extremely high looks, beautiful appearance and outstanding charm, but also because she was popular at school and had many friends. In today's terms, she was a "social butterfly". Her only drawback might be that she was a bit slow-witted.

He's not very good at studying either.

However, academic performance doesn't affect her status as a "social butterfly," which makes Ena Asukai extremely popular at school and she is often confessed to by boys. It's just that it's unclear whether this red-haired beauty has no feelings for them or doesn't find them attractive, but she naturally rejects those who confess to her.

However, Ena Asukai has many friends. Besides Tong Hua, she also has male friends. They are all popular and often hang out together. This is the situation now. Because it is spring break, she stayed out a little late today.

However, Ena Asukai never expected that she would accidentally meet such a boy, a strange yet mysterious young man with a charm that shocked her and captivated her heart. Ena Asukai was often surrounded by outstanding men.

But none of them can compare to that boy.

No wonder even her best friend was smitten, considering that Tong Hua has absolutely no interest in romance.

"Hey, Tonghua, if you see a handsome guy, just say so. Why drag Fei Niao into this? That guy is just good-looking, but who knows if he's a decent person?" the boy next to her said unhappily.

“Exactly, we should avoid people of unknown origin. Who knows if they might be dangerous? Besides, their appearance is very unsafe,” another boy chimed in.

"Where? Where? You met a handsome guy? Even Tong Hua was surprised by his good looks—this is the first time I've ever seen such a handsome guy!"

Hearing the envious looks in the boys' eyes, the long-haired girl named Tong Hua said aggressively, hands on her hips, "I think you're all just jealous of her. Ha, how ugly. How can you be so sure she's not a good person? You just don't want to see Hui Nai being attracted, right?"

“We’ll only know once we get to know him,” Tong Hua said, pulling her friend’s hand. “Come on, let’s go ask him. If he really is a bad guy, I can tell with my eyes. Even if Huina doesn’t want to know him, I’d like to be his friend.”

She remained silent, and perhaps in her shy mind, Ena Asukai paused. She sensed that her friend was serious. It seemed that Tong Hua really intended to be friends with that boy, no, or even more than just friends... Could she really be thinking of dating?

The boys next to them looked embarrassed. Even though they were being rebuked like that, they didn't dare to talk back. It was clear that Tong Hua, who was so aggressive, had a lot of influence. They could only watch as the two girls chased after the boy who was walking away in the distance, and then followed with stiff expressions.

"Tong Hua..."

"It's alright, Ena. Let me scout ahead first. If you're unwilling, then I won't hold back and will take action—"

Ena Asukai: "..."

I didn't say I was unwilling, uh... that's not what I meant. Asukai Ena's cheeks flushed slightly, but she said, "Tonghua, you don't have any dating experience yourself, do you? Saying you're just testing the waters, as my good friend, I don't want to see you get bullied."

"So, Hui Nai, even you, little girl, have fallen for someone?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I was just, just making a slight remark," Ena Asukai playfully punched her friend's shoulder with her little fist, then cautiously looked at the boy who was getting closer and closer. "But, it is indeed the first time I've seen such a special boy."

The reason I used 'special' instead of 'handsome' is that Ena Asukai felt that 'handsome' was completely insufficient to describe that boy; well... just a few more glances and your heart would flutter.

"Arnold—"

Tong Hua quickened her pace, taking three steps at a time to suddenly appear in front of Mu Xiaoxiao. She hadn't been able to see her clearly before, but now that she was up close, she was even more shocked. Tong Hua even felt a little nervous, for some reason. "Handsome, are you alone?"

Mu Xiaoxiao: "???"

Although she's a social butterfly, this is the first time she's approached someone like this. Tong Hua's face flushed slightly. "I see you seem to be alone. Want to hang out together?"

Whoa! What am I saying? Why do I sound like a delinquent? What if I get misunderstood?

"Sorry, I'm not interested," Mu Xiaoxiao said without misunderstanding, because this wasn't the first time she'd been approached. Several women of all kinds had just struck up a conversation with her, and on the night street, Mu Xiaoxiao was as eye-catching as a firefly under the night sky.

He's used to it.

Although the two girls who approached him were very pretty, Mu Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't care without the added appeal of being the female lead; mere beauty wasn't enough to attract him.

After saying that, she was about to leave when the long-haired girl in front of her boldly grabbed her arm. "Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant... I meant, can we be friends? You must be a student too, right? We're high school students, not the kind of girls who mess around."

"If possible, let's exchange Line numbers?"

Mu Xiaoxiao's lips twitched. She looked down at Tong Hua's hand that was holding her arm. Most girls would have let go by now, but she didn't. She wasn't intimidated by Mu Xiaoxiao's gaze and stubbornly held on, as if she was captivated by Mu Xiaoxiao's charm.

The boy started to get a headache.

"I don't use Line."

He politely declined.

"This interface is so perfunctory, who doesn't use Line... Huina! Say something!" Tonghua gently nudged her friend. She's been silent since the beginning. You want to be friends with him too, so take the initiative!

Ena Asukai wasn't the shy type of girl. Although she was a bit clumsy and outgoing, she was actually cheerful and easygoing. But right now, staring at Mu Xiaoxiao's face and smelling the boy's pleasant scent up close made her heart race.

Despite not being stage-frightened, she couldn't help but feel nervous in front of this mysterious boy. When her friend nudged her, she instinctively blurted out, "Y-you, hello, um—are you a fox spirit?"

Tong Hua: "..."

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

A moment of silence fell over the room.

"What's a fox spirit?!" Tong Hua grabbed her best friend's shoulders and shook her repeatedly, both amused and exasperated. "What kind of bizarre pickup line is this, Ena? When did you become such an awkward conversationalist?"

"Oh, that's not what I meant—"

Ena Asukai was on the verge of tears. She didn't know what was wrong with her. When she saw this dreamlike boy in front of her, she couldn't help but ask, "Because his temperament and charm are too, too special. Only fox spirits in stories can have this kind of charm. That's why I couldn't help but ask."

Ena Asukai explained.

Tong Hua almost fainted. "How could there possibly be monsters in the world? Really."

But Mu Xiaoxiao laughed out loud, "A fox demon? You're really interesting. But I'm not a demon, I'm just an ordinary person."

Well, I'm not an ordinary person either, but that's the only way I can introduce myself. I can't exactly say I'm a tentacle monster, can I? Besides, after evolving, I should have transcended the tentacle monster category.

"But you might have a chance to meet a real fox demon in the future, right?" Mu Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously.

"Eh?"

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't explain in detail, taking it as a joke, "It's so late, you should go home early. Tokyo hasn't been very safe lately, and it's easy to run into danger if you're out so late, especially for girls."

"There have indeed been a lot of murders in Tokyo lately, but it's unlikely that those times would happen to us so coincidentally." Asukai Ena clung to a sliver of hope, her beautiful eyes unable to resist scrutinizing the boy in front of her. Hearing his seemingly concerned words, her heart pounded.

Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. Japanese girls really do like to court death, whether it's the girl in front of her or those girls who are digging into urban legends. "I'm not joking, you guys should go home early."

"And what about you?" Asukai Ena was no longer nervous, chatting with Mu Xiaoxiao and giggling at him, "If Tokyo becomes dangerous, wouldn't it be even more unsafe for you to be out there alone? Even if you're a boy, you have to protect yourself when you're out alone~"

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

"Wait, why did you remind me to come?" Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her speechlessly, but Asukai Ena just covered her mouth and chuckled, then took out her phone, "So all we need to do is exchange contact information, and we'll go home right away—my name is Asukai Ena, and what's your name?"

"..."

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes twitched uncontrollably. She felt helpless, but then she found this girl rather interesting. She chuckled to herself, took out her phone, and exchanged Line contacts with her. "Mu Xiaoxiao, this is my name."

Wow, they're foreigners?

Tong Hua, standing beside her, watched expressionlessly as her best friend successfully won over the LINE account of this handsome boy named Mu Xiaoxiao. She was speechless. She couldn't believe it. When did Hui Nai become so savvy? She even managed to win over this special guy.

Tsk.

"I want some too! I want some too!"

She didn't want to lose to Ena.

As for the boys who followed behind, they also watched with gloomy expressions as Ena Asui chatted happily with the boy. This was the first time that Ena Asui had taken the initiative to chat with a boy, and she had even added him on Line!

Then look at Mu Xiaoxiao, tsk, isn't she the epitome of a perfect social butterfly? Anyway, they all know they can't compare, and just looking at her makes them feel inferior.

Just then, the boys were suddenly drawn to a slender female figure. As they looked over, a stunningly beautiful face appeared under the streetlight, captivating and instantly drawing their attention.

These boys, who originally liked Ena Asukai, were immediately captivated by this mysterious woman, staring at her in a daze, completely mesmerized.

"So beautiful..."

The mysterious beauty stopped beside Mu Xiaoxiao and Asukai Ena, her alluring voice carrying a hint of laughter under the night sky, "He's right, this city is dangerous. Little girls, you'd better go home and sleep."

"A guy like that isn't someone you can handle—"

Chapter 304 Boys need to protect themselves when they're out.

The sudden sound attracted their attention. A woman appeared next to Mu Xiaoxiao and Asukai Ena. She was a beautiful woman, but... there was a hint of hostility in her voice.

"A guy like that isn't someone you can handle, little sister. Young and naive girls like you aren't qualified to be with him," the stranger's words carried not only hostility but also a clear hint of sarcasm.

This instantly ignited Tong Hua's anger. Feeling displeased, she looked at the woman with a cold face. When she saw the woman's stunningly beautiful face in front of her, she was stunned for a moment. So beautiful... But even if she's beautiful, she shouldn't say such things, right? Or did she come here specifically to cause trouble?

Ena Asukai, who was standing next to her, was also amazed. This woman is so beautiful. Who is she?

Satisfied with the amazed looks they gave her, the beautiful and charming woman revealed a smug smile, her stunning face displaying an undisguised smugness. "People should be with people of similar appearance. Women like you with ordinary looks would look out of place standing next to him, quite incongruous."

"Only a beauty of my caliber would do—"

Ena Asukai frowned. The provocation in this strange woman's words annoyed her. Who was this person? Was she looking for trouble? Even if you're pretty, you can't talk to us like that! This is an insult!

Tong Hua exploded, glaring at the rude woman, "Hey! What do you mean?! Are you implying we're ugly? Explain yourself!"

"Why imply it? Isn't this the truth?"

"You—Mu Jun, she…are you acquaintances?"

Tong Hua and Hui Nai looked at Mu Xiaoxiao, assuming that this woman was an acquaintance of Mu Xiaoxiao, which was why she spoke so rudely. However, the latter had a strange expression, her crimson eyes darting over this unfamiliar black-haired woman, her eyes twitching, and she shrugged.

"No, I don't know him."

"What? So you're just another guy who came here to chat us up. If that's the case, what right do you have to insult us?" Tong Hua said expressionlessly.
