Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

“I already know what happened. Can’t you tell that this guy is lying to you? Putting aside whether Tsukino-sensei would do such a thing given his personality, even if he did, a useless teacher like him couldn’t hide it from you.”

Lingna sighed, "I don't understand such a simple principle. Why can't you figure it out?"

Shiina Chizuru stared blankly at the female teacher in front of her, momentarily dazed, her chest tight. She hated Reina-sensei because this woman had stolen the person she secretly loved.

but……

Shiina Chizuru pursed her lips, realizing that she could no longer dislike Reina-sensei.

No matter what, she saved me.

The trio hiding in the bushes watched the scene unfold. Senior Ruomu looked at Mu Xiaoxiao with surprise, "I thought... you would save that girl yourself. She's very pretty, isn't she? This might be a good opportunity to capture a girl."

Ruomu's words carried a hint of playfulness.

Mu Xiaoxiao pouted, "She is quite pretty, but I have no intention of flirting with her."

Mu Xiaoxiao wasn't interested in the girl named Shiina Chizuru. He might have been a little interested in a female protagonist, like Chizuka? Cough cough... But this kind of ordinary girl, just because she's pretty, couldn't attract him.

only……

Mu Xiaoxiao was unaware that Qian Shu and Ruo Mu beside her were looking at him with a strange expression. Especially Ruo Mu, who thought that he had helped Xia Hai and the others back then. Although he did not show up this time, it was ultimately because of Mu Xiaoxiao that the girl was saved.

otherwise……

Meanwhile, Ruomu, who had been watching from the beginning to the end, couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart towards Mu Xiaoxiao. She suddenly understood why Xia Hai, who originally had a crush on Feng Yi, had fallen for this person.

Ruo Mu's heart pounded, and she turned her head away to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

On the other side, Chizuka Nishiki had fewer reservations and approached with a grin, "Young Master, you're truly extraordinary~"

Despite not wanting to flirt with girls, Mu Xiaoxiao still managed to win over two young women.

Chapter 096 I was obviously the one who came first

"Young Master, I'll go help Miss Lingna~"

Seeing Rena teach that scumbag teacher a lesson, Chizuka was still not satisfied and prepared to step forward to help, also worried that Rena might be in danger. Mu Xiaoxiao was quite relieved about this, after all, the current Rena was no longer the sickly girl she used to be.

"Does Ruomu want to stay here any longer?" Mu Xiaoxiao turned to look at the long-haired girl beside her, her eyes filled with a strange expression. "Is there anything else?"

It's as if it's asking, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

“Aren’t you going to see Xia Hai? After all, it’s because of me… so I’ll go with you,” the girl said, smoothing her bangs and looking away. “I don’t have anything to do right now.”

"...Sigh, I wanted to keep it from Xia Hai and scare her when the time was right, but I didn't expect to be found out so quickly."

Mu Jun, you're unexpectedly mischievous.

Ruomu looked at him with amusement. She actually had many questions about Mu Xiaoxiao, such as his identity, his power, and why he could transform into a human. However, these were all secrets, and she didn't want to pry into his secrets directly.

"Didn't we meet at the gym last time?" Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up, her words catching Ruomu off guard. "You go to the gym regularly? To get stronger?"

"Um... I've been going to the gym ever since that time," Ruomu said a little embarrassed.

“But no matter how much you train, it’s useless. Humans have limits,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with a meaningful smile.

Ruomu was silent for a moment, then said, "I know, but even just increasing Xiaowei's chances of escaping is worth it, isn't it?"

Looking at the girl's gentle and calm smile, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded speechlessly, "That's true. So, Ruomu, have you developed any abs?"

The girl blushed instantly. "Mu Jun, really... asking such a question is very rude."

Ruomu adjusted her shy demeanor, and suddenly smiled, "So, Mu Jun, what about you? You were actually with Dong Hua that day... Shouldn't you be enemies?"

"Well," Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her head, "I don't know why things developed like this. Now we're allied with her."

"An alliance? But it's not just an alliance, is it? Didn't you two say you were dating the other day?" Ruomu's expression was strange. "Dong Hua likes Feng Yi, so why is she with you..."

Mu Xiaoxiao looked completely innocent. "You're asking me? Who should I ask? Who knows what that woman suddenly did to go crazy and send someone to harass me? Sigh..."

Seeing his dejected and sullen appearance, Ruomu laughed, "Dong Hua is a beautiful young woman, why do you look so unhappy?"

"She's pretty, but she's a yandere!" Mu Xiaoxiao muttered, glancing at the girl beside her. "It's not like I haven't seen pretty girls before. Ruomu is pretty too."

"what……"

The girl, caught off guard by such a sudden remark, felt a mix of nervousness and shyness. How cunning!

"How are things at school? I feel like the survivors from last time have become more distant after transferring schools?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Ruomu didn't know what to say either. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and said, "Perhaps it's because of the shadow left by that incident, everyone..."

"What about Matsubara Hōichi?"

Hōichi... As the former captain of the archery club, Matsubara Hōichi was her club member. Wakamura also had a good relationship with him and they had mutual feelings for each other. However, recently, because of that incident, the two have become much more distant.

Not only because of the school invasion incident, but also because he had been pursuing his childhood friend, Sakura Natsumi, Ruomu saw it all but didn't say anything. As a result, their relationship grew distant.

Moreover, the person Xia Hai likes now is the one next to him...

"Hey, I see her."

Perhaps they had just finished eating. Xia Hai was in the grove next to the cafeteria when Mu Xiaoxiao and Ruomu spotted the beautiful girl standing there with her arms crossed. The latter also looked over and paused when she saw Ruomu.

When she saw the unfamiliar boy beside her, Sakura Natsumi's expression became even more interesting.

"Yo~" Mu Xiaoxiao waved and greeted him with a smile.

"Little?"

Xia Hai asked with a mixture of surprise and doubt, covering her mouth with both hands. She seemed to understand something, her expression shifting between light and dark. "So, the one who came to confess to me last time... Xiao Xiao, was it you?"

"Huh? You still remember?"

"Of course I remember!" Sakura Natsumi grabbed her hair hard. "So, it was you. No wonder that person was acting so strangely back then. Xiaoxiao, you're really good at keeping secrets."

"Ahem, Xia Hai, I just wanted to find a suitable opportunity to give you a surprise."

What was supposed to be a pleasant surprise has turned into a complete shock. Sakura Natsumi is clearly angry. Ignoring Mu Xiaoxiao, she turns to Ruomu, "Senior Ruomu, what brings you here? Are you with him?"

"After all, it was me who leaked Mu Jun's information, so... Xia Hai, don't be angry. It's a good thing that Mu Jun has become like this."

"..."

Sakura Natsumi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly composed herself and glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao expressionlessly. "Excuse me, senior, I have something I want to say to him. Can we be alone together?"

Although she was asking a question, her tone was undeniably firm, making Ruomu unable to say anything more. She could only smile apologetically at Mu Xiaoxiao, give him a helpless look, and leave, turning back every few steps.

Xia Hai noticed the exchange of glances between the two, but she didn't say anything until Ruo Mu's figure disappeared from sight.

The silence was eerily quiet, which made Mu Xiaoxin tremble with fear.

He had never seen Xia Hai like this before. Sure enough, she was angry.

And she was really angry.

Xia Hai, are you angry?

"..."

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long. It's mainly because of what happened before..."

"You and Senior Ruomu are really close."

Eh?

Mu Xiaoxiao, who was interrupted by Sakura Natsumi, stared blankly, not coming back to his senses for a moment. Seeing him standing there in a daze, Natsumi said expressionlessly, "Senior Ruomu actually spoke well of you, and the two of you actually came together... chatting and laughing, you seemed to be having a good time."

"..."

Mu Xiaoxiao smelled vinegar.

Wait a minute, she's not angry because I hid it, but because I'm close to Ruomu... Mu Xiaoxiao's glasses shattered on the floor.

"When did you two become so close?"

"Actually, we're not that close. I've only met her a few times..."

"Why are you able to chat so familiarly after only meeting a few times? She even spoke up for you," Sakura Natsumi pursed her lips, "and I feel like the way she looks at you is a bit off."

Ah this.

"Xia Hai, you're overthinking it."

That's all Mu Xiaoxiao could say.

"Obviously..."

"what?"

"I was obviously the one who came first!"

Sakura Natsumi was a little agitated. "It was the same with Feng Yi back then, and it's the same with Xiao Xiao now. Why does she always have to be taken away by my senior? Why does she always have to come and steal the person I like? I've already started to treat Feng Yi as just a friend, so why, why does she come looking for you again—why does she always have to go against me!"

"..."

Chapter 097 Little One, I Want a Kiss

Sakura Natsumi was somewhat excited.

It's clear that Ruomu is putting a lot of pressure on her. It doesn't even matter if I hide my transformation from her anymore. She cares a lot about my relationship with Ruomu.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt that it would be difficult to comfort the agitated girl in front of her at this moment, as words are sometimes powerless, so a hug would be enough.

"If Senior Sister Ruomu...!!!"

Suddenly being hugged, the warm embrace brought Sakura Natsumi, who was still very excited, to an abrupt halt. She opened her eyes wide, staring blankly at the boy in front of her, feeling the warmth in his arms, and for a moment she lost the ability to speak.

After a moment of stunned silence, the girl bit her cherry lips, lowered her head and buried herself in the boy's arms, inhaling his pleasant scent. Her eyes softened, and she muttered in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz, "What is this... so cunning."

Despite saying that, she couldn't bear to leave his embrace. Instead, she rubbed against him forcefully, buried her face in his neck, and greedily inhaled his scent.

"Xia Hai, you get really excited whenever Ruo Mu is involved," Mu Xiaoxiao whispered in her ear. "Even though my relationship with Ling Nai and the others is more ambiguous and closer, you've never been this jealous."

"Little..." Xia Hai bit his neck, not too hard, rubbing his skin with her pearly teeth, like a seductive little fairy, "Because, I'm very scared, really scared."

"Fear?"

"Yeah, I'm afraid you'll be snatched away by Senior Ruomu... When I see you two standing together, I always feel like you'll leave with her and abandon me all alone..."

Mu Xiaoxiao pinched her butt hard, making the girl let out a charming 'whimper'.

"You really have a wild imagination. Do you think I, Mu Xiaoxiao, am the kind of scum who would abandon a woman? Do you think I'm Ling Nai's ex-husband?" He scolded the girl in his arms fiercely.

"Because, the person Matsubara Hōichi liked before was my senior, so I..."

"So you're traumatized?" Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, lowering her head and whispering, "But Feng Yi likes you now, doesn't he? He's been pestering you, hasn't he? That means you've won back your childhood sweetheart, which means you've won over Ruomu, right?"
