Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Don't try to change the subject!

“No, it’s true. I have to go to Consort Rui’s banquet,” Mu Xiaoxiao waved her phone. “Managi, I’ll take you to the station. You can go home by yourself.”

"..."

Nakiri Managi glared at him angrily and said sullenly, "I can go back by myself, I don't need you to take me."

"Then I'll go."

"No, you're really just going to leave like that?" Nakiri Managi was a little deflated. "I said I didn't need to see you off, and you really aren't going to?" Damn it—that's too perfunctory. At least say something! Seeing that Mu Xiaoxiao was about to turn and leave, Nakiri Managi quickly grabbed his sleeve.

"and many more!"

"Ok?"

“Wait a minute, this,” Nakiri Managi said, taking out her amulet and handing it to the boy. “I know this is useless to you, but amulets are just symbols anyway. They are more about meaning than practicality. Take it.”

"This one……"

"Don't refuse!" Her hand pressed against the boy's chest, her delicate little hand resting on Mu Xiaoxiao's chest, allowing Nakiri Managi to clearly feel his muscles and the strong beating of his heart. Managi's body inexplicably went weak. "This was originally bought for you, so just consider it my gift. Anyway, you can't refuse!"

Since you've already said that, wouldn't it be a typical straight man's behavior for me to refuse?

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, but didn't accept it. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth and pointed to her neck, "Okay, I'll take it, but you can put it on for me."

Nakiri Managi: "..."

"What the hell? This brat!" Nakiri Managi glared at him playfully, then hesitated for two seconds before picking up the amulet, approaching the boy, and deliberately threading it through his head to hang around Mu Xiaoxiao's neck. Because of this action, she was very close to him and could smell the boy's scent.

Managi's heart was beating faster and faster.

"Alright, you should leave now."

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced down at her amulet, waved to the seemingly composed beauty, turned and left. She watched him disappear into the crowd before Nakiri Managi finally breathed a sigh of relief, no longer able to suppress her emotions, a blush spreading to her ears.

He clutched his chest, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

“Little… phew, why am I so nervous? He’s just a brat old enough to be my son,” Nakiri Managi muttered under her breath, but the blush lingered. “But why…”

That just now felt like falling in love.

Nakiri Managi patted her forehead. "But that bastard is going to see another woman now. Sigh."

----------

The Nishikino family.

"Little one————"

Before Mu Xiaoxiao could even ring the doorbell, the door opened and a red figure rushed out, crashing into her with great force. If Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't been just as strong, she probably would have fallen to the ground.

However, since it was a beautiful young girl's body that pounced on him, he didn't care much. Unlike Mrs. Ruifei, Maki's body was still developing and not fully mature, so it was naturally very different from a fully ripe peach-like young woman.

"Maki, it's been a long time."

“It’s been a long time, Xiao Xiao,” Nishikino Maki said, her face flushed, as she hugged the boy’s waist tightly. “If Mom hadn’t forbidden it, I would have come to see you. Xiao Xiao, why don’t you come to see me?”

"I've got a lot on my plate too... Anyway, I'm sorry, Maki," Mu Xiaoxiao patted her head, giving her a warm head pat, "What about you? Are you still going to those tutoring classes?"

“I’m not going. I’m not interested in those cram schools,” Nishikino Maki said, glancing behind her. Then she tilted her head back slightly and pouted her red lips as if asking for a kiss. In fact, she was asking for a kiss. “Apologizing with words doesn’t mean you’re sincere, so um… kiss me.”

Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that Nishikino Ruifei was staring at him from the entrance, but he couldn't refuse Maki's request. He hesitated for a second, then decided to grant the girl's request. Well, Ruifei had already acquiesced anyway.

In front of Consort Rui, Mu Xiaoxiao kissed her lovely daughter's cherry lips.

"Hmm~"

It can only be said that Mr. Nishikino is still very lucky. Although he went mad, at least he didn't have to see this scene. His wife and daughter were... and even his family property was taken by Mu Xiaoxiao. Looking at it this way, Mu Xiaoxiao is really guilty.

Neither Ruifei nor Maki cared. It can only be said that Mr. Nishikino was really badly messed up by Tomie. If anyone is to blame, it's Kawakami Tomie, who is too terrifying. He can only blame himself for not being able to resist the temptation.

Once again, Mu Xiaoxiao arrived at the Nishikino family home. Looking at the familiar room and seeing the Nishikino mother and daughter happily welcoming her, she felt like she had become the master of this place.

“Actually, I’ve been spending much less time at home lately. It’s always been just Maki at home. I have a lot of work to do, both at the cult and at the hospital,” Nishikino Mizuki said as she brought out dinner. Although it was just simple home-cooked food, it had a warm, family-like atmosphere.

Nishikino Maki volunteered to serve Mu Xiaoxiao a bowl of steaming white rice and handed it to the person she liked. "It's okay. I know Mom is very busy right now, and I'm not a child anymore."

"I'm worried that something might happen to you, Maki. After all, Tokyo isn't safe these days."

Mu Xiaoxiao understood what Aunt Ruifei meant. "Ruifei, if you're worried, why don't you let Maki move to the apartment?"

“It’s possible, but… I, I don’t want Maki to get involved with those things so soon…” Nishikino Mizuki said hesitantly. Just like Reina, she didn’t want her daughters to get involved with the mystical side, but she had no choice because the cheap, dilapidated apartment where she lived was really unsafe.

“Don’t worry too much. Tokyo isn’t very safe right now, but it’s not chaotic either. Lycoris, where Chizuka is, will maintain security here,” Mu Xiaoxiao paused, “If you’re worried about Ruifei, I’ll have Hanako protect her.”

"Thank you, Xiaoxiao."

"Alright, given our relationship, there's no need for thanks."

With her hands cupping her smiling face, Nishikino Maki watched the entire interaction between her mother and Xiaoxiao, and said expressionlessly, "I always feel like you're hiding a lot from me... but if you don't want to say, then so be it."

Maki wasn't an unreasonable person; she knew that Xiaoxiao would talk to her sooner or later.

"Speaking of which, Maki, you should be graduating soon, right?" It's spring break now, and winter break will be the day Maki graduates. Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao asked, "Have you thought about where you'll go for further studies?"

“I haven’t asked her that yet,” Ruifei said, suddenly realizing that her daughter was indeed graduating soon. “Maki, which school will you go to after graduation?”

"Can I go to a small high school?" she asked expectantly.

“It’s possible, but I originally planned for you to go to Otonokizaka, Maki,” Nishikino Mizuki said, somewhat conflicted. It would be nice for her to go to the same school as Koko, as she would feel at ease with Koko around. However, the chairman of the board of directors of Otonokizaka is her good friend.

Minami Hiwako had once told herself that she had made a promise to let Maki go to Otonokizaka.

It put her in a dilemma.

"Otonokizaka?" Nishikino Maki frowned. She wanted to be with the person she liked, and as for the likes of Otonokizaka, she didn't care.

“Otonokizaka is also a very good girls’ school. Maki, I think it’s a great choice for you to go to this school,” Mu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, “I can’t break up Muse, can I? You’ll meet some great friends there. It would be a shame not to go.”

"But I want to be with Xiaoxiao..."

“We’ll always be together, won’t we?” Mu Xiaoxiao smiled gently at her. “We’ll always be together, no need to rush. But if you miss out on those friends, you might regret it for the rest of your life. Maki, you don’t even have a single good friend your own age right now, do you?”

You can make friends even in your little school.

"And Otonokizaka... Maki, to be honest with you, there are things there that interest me. If you enroll there, I'll visit you in Otonokizaka often."

"Something you're interested in?" Nishikino Maki was finally convinced by Mu Xiaoxiao. "Since you've said so, I know. I'll go to Otonokizaka. But you must come to see me often, at least once a week."

"Of course, as long as I can get in—it's an all-girls school."

Mu Xiaoxiao and Maki both laughed out loud, but Nishikino Ruifei looked at her suspiciously, "Xiaoxiao, what are you interested in? It wouldn't happen to be Minami Hiwako, would it?"

"what?"

“That’s true. Minami Hiwako is not only my good friend, but also the chairperson of Otonokizaka. She has a high status and position. Joining the cult would also benefit us. Okay, I understand. I will find an opportunity to talk to her.”

"..."

No, wait, I wasn't talking about the chairman, I was talking about Muse! Mrs. Ruifei, are you sure you've misunderstood something...? Mu Xiaoxiao covered her face.

However, Mu Xiaoxiao and Maki did not expect that Nishikino Mizuki, whose focus was on her friend, also did not expect that the danger her daughter faced when she went to Otonokizaka was not her good friend, but the chairman of the board, Minami Hiwako.

The real danger lies with the students of Otonokizaka.

Don't forget this is an all-girls school, and with Mu Xiaoxiao's charm... what will a mere chairperson matter? Perhaps all the girls in the school will become hers...

Otonokizaka, danger!

Chapter 308 Dangerous Enemy?

Maki Nishikino used to attend many cram schools, including academics, piano, violin, illustration, painting, and all sorts of other training and tutoring. Of course, now Maki doesn't have to work so hard anymore.

Ruifei helped her cancel most of her tutoring classes, leaving only a few hobbies that Maki was still interested in, including the piano. Maki not only liked music, but she was also very talented in it.

After dinner, Maki sat in the living room with Mu Xiaoxiao for a while. After her mother finished the housework, Maki reluctantly took a shower and went back to her room. She had no choice but to finish her tutoring homework.

Maki Nishikino lay absentmindedly on her desk, ignoring her textbook. She held her cheeks in her hands, a pencil dangling from her mouth, staring blankly at the wall, occasionally letting out a few silvery laughs.

When Maki woke up from her reverie, more than half an hour had passed without her realizing it. She quickly shook her head, glanced at the dark night sky outside the window, and went out of the room to find Xiaoxiao, only to find that the living room was empty.

It was very quiet.

"Little?"

Surely we can't go back now? Maki really hoped that Xiaoxiao could stay tonight. Even if we didn't have a long talk, we could at least spend more time together. But when she saw Xiaoxiao's white sneakers still in the entrance hall, Maki was stunned.

"Didn't they leave? But where did they go?"

Just then, Maki Nishikino was suddenly struck dumb. As if she had realized something, her pupils dilated and contracted noticeably, and she stood there frozen in place. "Wait, could it be that... Little is...?"

The girl took three steps at a time and quietly arrived at her mother's bedroom door. Sure enough, she saw that the bedroom door was tightly closed. She tiptoed closer to her mother's bedroom, tried to open it, and found that it was locked. So she pursed her cherry lips and pressed her ear against the door, trying to eavesdrop on the sounds inside.

Then, Nishikino Maki actually heard it; she could vaguely hear voices, but it seemed like there was more than just talking.

"Um...ah..."

"Little one, love me~"

When Maki heard her mother's charming and seductive voice, so alluring it was almost unbearable, her ears rang with a constant booming sound. The sound included not only her mother's suggestive moans but also a series of indistinct and strange noises.

Maki Nishikino recognized it; it was sex... Even if she didn't recognize it, her mother's words and breathing said it all. Besides, running to her mother's room late at night with the door closed, she could tell what was happening inside even with her eyes closed.

It's just that it's been confirmed now.

The thought of the boy she liked being intimate with her mother filled Nishikino Maki with a mix of emotions: jealousy, irritability, and melancholy. But she was too embarrassed to barge in, so she could only lie there helplessly eavesdropping.

Maki sat down on the ground dejectedly, her duck-like posture making her look somewhat cute.

"Mom, really! I'm home too, and she's still doing this all the time." What a promiscuous mother! Maki pouted indignantly. She knew that her mother and Xiaoxiao were dating, and that her mother was dating Xiaoxiao before her, so she had no right to criticize her mother.

But I just feel so sad inside.

Unconsciously, she imagined a scene of Xiaoxiao hugging her mother... Ugh! She couldn't think about it, the more she thought about it, the sadder she became. Nishikino Maki wanted to leave this place, to escape, to run away, but it was as if her feet were rooted to the ground, and she couldn't move her feet.

Although she felt ashamed and jealous, she was also... as if she were poisoned, unable to control her desire to listen. Nishikino Maki knelt on the ground with her face flushed, her mind a complete mess. As she listened to her mother's voice from inside the door, her eyes gradually welled up with tears.

"Xiaoxiao..."

The bedroom was dark, but even without moonlight, Mu Xiaoxiao could clearly see the beautiful woman lying next to him. He suddenly stopped and looked down at the woman nestled beneath him, motionless.

"Hmm... Xiaoxiao?" Noticing her little man's unusual behavior, Nishikino Mizuki, her face flushed, opened her hazy eyes, reached out and cupped his face, asking curiously, "What's wrong?"

Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, smoothed the hair that Ruifei had covered, and whispered in her ear, "Zhenji is eavesdropping outside the door."

"What? Maki, she... Waaah—"

Nishikino Ruifei immediately regained her senses and was startled. Just as she was about to speak, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly moved her body, catching Ruifei off guard and causing her to lose control and cry out.
