Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Izuki Shima acted very easygoing. Matsubara Touka, who was next to her, glanced at Ogiwara Sayu a few times, but since she was just an ordinary girl, he didn't pay her any attention.

"Hinako, give us one of your special sushi too~~" Itsuki Shima waved his hand.

“Okay, Izuki-san.”

The dining table suddenly fell silent. Ogiwara Sayu nervously twisted her fingers. She felt that the beautiful woman, Izuki Shima, was looking at her and remained silent, which made her a little nervous. Before she could ask anything, Izuki Shima's meaningful voice rang in her ears.

"Ogiwara...is that Ogiwara Foods Company?"

"Eh?"

Saya suddenly looked up and met Itsuki Shima's smiling eyes. "How come you..."

"It seems I wasn't wrong. Who is that company's president, Hagiwara Ichisaku, to you?"

"He's my brother... How did you know?!"

"Of course it was discovered through investigation."

"But so soon..."

“Aren’t you underestimating the Hijin Society? It’s very easy to find out this much information. After all, I’m responsible to the organization, and I have to investigate the background and family of each member,” Izuki Shima said, taking a sip of tea. “Not only that, but I also found out about what you, Ogiwara Sayu, went through.”

"After all, it was a suicide case, and it caused quite a stir."

"..."

Ogiwara Sayu's pretty face darkened. After a moment, recalling those painful memories, she looked at Itsuki Shima with complicated eyes. How long had it been? In just one morning, she had turned her files upside down. "Ms. Itsuki, what do you mean by saying all this? Are you mocking me?"

Her teeth were clenched, her heart heavy.

"No, I'm just curious. It seems you don't have a good relationship with your mother." Itsuki Shima wasn't trying to expose the girl's dark past. "That Ms. Ogiwara Risa is quite a well-known figure in the business world."

"Mother……"

Sayu Ogiwara's eyes dimmed. "She doesn't like me."

Without saying much, this sentence was enough to explain the relationship between Sayu and her mother. Itsuki Shima's eyes understood, and the woman in the suit showed a strange smile. "In that case, Sayu, why don't you consider tricking your mother into joining the Himejin Society?"

"……what?"

Both Ogiwara Sayu and Matsubara Touka were dumbfounded.

Chapter 167 Miss Yiyue, You've Changed

Sayu Ogiwara did not have a good relationship with her mother.

To be precise, it was Risa Ogiwara who was very indifferent to her daughter, Sayu. Risa Ogiwara was cheated on and divorced by her husband while she was pregnant with Sayu, which caused her to feel neglected towards her daughter. It can be said that Sayu has never felt her mother's love.

This is also why she ran away from home; for Ogiwara Sayu, that home was a cage.

Now, what is she saying in the novel? Should she tell her mother to join the Princess Goddess Society? Ogiwara Saya's brain is overloaded, and she temporarily loses her ability to speak. Meanwhile, Matsubara Touka, sitting next to Izuki Shima, stares blankly at her with her mouth agape.

After a long while, she closed her cherry lips and glared at Izuki Shima with a disappointed look. Matsubara Touka really didn't expect that this woman... could still be a pimp at a time like this. When she heard that Izuki Shima's target was this girl's mother, she understood, she understood everything.

This isn't contributing to the Consort's Society, it's just adding a tiny bit of bricks and tiles!

And she's a young married woman!

How many wives are you looking for?!

"This...Mom, she..."

Ogiwara Sayo stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Izuki Shima remained calm and took another sip of water. "Don't be nervous. Our Queen's Society needs capable women like your mother... They would be of great help to our order. What do you think, Sayu?"

"This……"

Of course, she didn't want her mother to come here; she didn't have a good relationship with her mother, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can't say?"

Knowing it was a difficult thing to say, why was she still asked to speak? Matsubara Touka thought angrily, but she had no reason or right to refuse. They were doing it for the sake of their cult, so what could she say?

Matsubara Touka is almost used to it. Back then, she was jealous and furious when Matsubara Hōichi only had ambiguous relationships with a few female classmates. Now that Mu Xiaoxiao is even more so than her brother, she has gotten used to it.

Could this be PUA?

“My mother… doesn’t like me, she even hates me,” Ogihara Sayu said, her head bowed and her voice barely audible. “It’s always been like this since I was little… she didn’t care even when I ran away from home.”

"And what about your father?" Matsubara Toka asked curiously.

"He divorced my mother, and I've never seen him..."

"How can there be parents like this?" Hinako Inui, who was delivering sushi, overheard Sayu's words and exclaimed indignantly, "That's outrageous! Poor Sayu-san!"

“That’s true, otherwise you wouldn’t have run away from home,” Izuki Shima said, resting her chin on her hands. “However, it’s precisely because of the bad relationship between mother and daughter that we need to bring her into the cult. This kind of woman needs the leader to correct her. What do you think, Sayu?”

That sounds reasonable.

But something feels off.

"Let Xiaoxiao teach your mother a lesson; maybe it will change her mind and allow you two to reconcile."

Are you talking about getting back together? I'm almost too embarrassed to call you out on it? Getting back together in bed, huh? Tsk!

"But Mom won't listen to me..."

“It’s alright, you don’t need to get involved, I’ll have a good talk with her,” Itsuki Shima said with a beaming smile. “That’s my job at the Himejin-kai.”

"I see."

This must mean she agreed, right?

"Mmm, delicious—"

Upon tasting Hinako Inui's sushi, Sayo Ogiwara narrowed her eyes in shock. She was very good at cooking, but she couldn't make such delicious food. Shima Itsuki looked at the girl opposite him, who was completely absorbed in the food, with a meaningful smile.

……

"You really want to recruit that girl's mother?"

After finishing his meal and leaving the restaurant, Matsubara Touka couldn't help but ask.

“Ogiwara Risa is a capable woman, and her weaknesses are obvious. With such a good opportunity presented to us, why not take it?” Itsuki Shima raised her head slightly, her smooth chin and beautiful profile gleaming in the sunlight, while Matsubara Touka also faced the sunlight piercing through the dark clouds.

"That's a lie, isn't it? What 'capable woman'... that reason probably only accounts for 10%, the real reason is Xiaoxiao, right?"

Izuki Shima stopped in his tracks. "I've met Ogihara Risa. She's a pretty, mature woman, and she's qualified to serve the leader. I think Xiaoxiao would like her too."

Good grief, you're not pretending anymore, huh?

Matsubara Touka was silent for a while, then stared intently at the woman for a long time before saying, "Miss Izuki, you've changed."

"Ok?"

I don't know why she said that, but the mature woman in the black suit looked at her through her eyes.

"In the past, you devoted yourself to the Goddess Consort, wanting to expand the cult and hoping that your cult would become a place where desires burned. You did everything you could. You could say that you were a real bastard back then."

“The word ‘bastard’ is quite fitting to describe me,” Izuki Shima smiled slightly, unconcerned. “Am I not like that now?”

“Heh,” Matsubara Touka laughed sarcastically, “You seem the same as before, but in reality… you’re just trying to please Xiaoxiao.”

To please?

“When I recommended Xiaoxiao to join the Consort Goddess Society, you hadn’t changed much, but now, your heart is completely devoted to him. All that talk about expanding the cult and wanting to see chaos is just an excuse to please Xiaoxiao. So, you’ve changed.”

At this point, Matsubara Touka sighed deeply and exhaled a breath of stale air, "Miss Izuki, someone like you, can you really fall in love with someone else?"

The mature and sexy woman fell silent. Itsuki Shima remained silent for several minutes before she smiled faintly, "Probably... Aren't you the same? You were such a yandere girl with a brother complex back then, but you actually fell in love with someone else."

Matsubara Touka, caught off guard by the counterattack, looked completely embarrassed. "I was just..."

The two women exchanged a glance, then awkwardly looked away, both inwardly cursing: It's all Mu Xiaoxiao's fault!

"What do you plan to do about that person named Risa Ogihara?" she asked, changing the subject.

"First, let the news that Sayu is here spread. If she really doesn't care about her daughter, then I'll have no choice but to go to her door," Izuki Shima shrugged, her large breasts swaying slightly with her movements, making Matsubara Touka's eyes twitch violently.

“I’m very familiar with this. That Mrs. Ogiwara Risa won’t escape my grasp.”

She licked her red lips and let out a charming giggle.

"However, you don't need to worry about these things, Matsubara. Although we are allies, you don't need to interfere in the internal affairs of the Himejin Society unless you are willing to join us." This Matsubara Touka is quite powerful, and Itsuki Shima really hopes that she can join the sect.

“…Let’s talk about it later,” Matsubara Touka didn’t agree. What a joke! Even if I wanted to join the Princess God Association, I would have to be invited first.

"I'll be investigating the whereabouts of those tentacle zombies, and also that queen—"

Chapter 168 He lost his childhood sweetheart

"Meow meow~~"

It seems that the little black cat at school has become attached to him. Lately, every time he comes to school, the first thing that greets him is not the girls, but this little guy. The road at the school gate is paved with special marble, with lush green grass on both sides. In front, on the statue in the center of the circular fountain, the little wildcat is lying quietly.

It didn't even glance at the other students passing by, seemingly indifferent, but when it saw Mu Xiaoxiao, its sharp cat eyes suddenly lit up, and it leaped onto him, landing precisely on the boy's shoulder.

"It's you again... Could it be that you don't want to be a wildcat anymore and want me to raise you?" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't have any particular fondness for small animals, but this little black cat was really cute, plus her own abilities.

That unknown [?] holds many secrets. Utilizing the [Affinity] keyword more often might unlock new abilities.

"Meow meow~~"

The little black cat meowed a few times, but it was unclear whether it was responding or not. Mu Xiaoxiao didn't care, picked it up, and said, "Come on, let's go get something to eat."

I'm going to the convenience store to buy some sausages; it seems to really like them.

On the other side, Si Chengxingli was stopped by someone she expected. She saw the boy standing at the entrance of the teaching building, looking up at the boy standing on the stairs, her childhood sweetheart whom she knew so well, and sighed.

Actually, I really wanted to turn my head away and ignore him, and leave with Xiaoxiao, but then I thought that hiding forever wasn't a good idea, and it would have to be resolved sooner or later, so I withdrew my foot and walked up the steps one by one, standing in front of Kofukuji Ryuya.

"Xingli, you didn't come back yesterday..."

“I’m with Xiaoxiao,” she said, making a startling statement, “We’re together all night, and we sleep together.”

"!!!"

Kofukuji Takaya was indeed quite shocked and frightened. He clenched his fists in disbelief, his eyes wide, and they were sleeping together... No wonder Anri seemed much prettier than usual today. That special charm, that unique allure... Could it be because Anri... she had already done it...

She went from being a girl to a woman?!

Not only that, but Mu Xiaoxiao's genetic evolution also gave Sicheng Xingli, like Chun and Lingnai, extraordinary charm.

At this moment, the silver-haired beauty is no longer inferior to Rurikawa Tsubaki.

"No way! No way!! Xingli, you're lying to me, right? You've only known him for a short time... This kind of thing! This kind of thing—! We've known each other for so long, from childhood to adulthood, over ten years of childhood sweethearts, how could we not be as good as him..."
