Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't ask.

"Aren't we good friends? Besides, didn't your dad ask me to take care of you? There's nothing wrong with me visiting your house, right?"

He doesn't want you to take care of me, he wants you to be with me... Yotsuya Miko blushed and opened her mouth, but she couldn't bring herself to say what her father had entrusted to her. It was too embarrassing. If she had known this would happen, she would have preferred to let Koko hear it back then, at least she wouldn't have had to say it from her own mouth.

"Okay then... Xiao Hua, why don't you come along too?" Seeing her friend's invitation, she knew that bringing a boy home would definitely cause her mother to misunderstand and make her shy. Bringing Xiao Hua along would be much better, but Baihechuan Hua declined her friend's invitation.

The voluptuous young woman with enormous breasts clasped her hands together, stuck out her tongue, and apologized, "Sorry, Miko, I might not have time today. I need to go home early~ Let's go next time."

"..."

Miko Yotsuya gave her best friend a resentful look, then secretly glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao, who was giving her a strange look. Her face flushed, and she quickly looked away. However, Mu Xiaoxiao's presence kept surrounding and enveloping her. Moreover, he was holding her shoulder, and although his body wasn't completely pressed against hers, they were very close. Miko even keenly sensed the warmth emanating from his body...

Why am I suddenly so sensitive at this particular time?

But... I am shy, after all, it's the first time I've been so close to a boy, and Xiaoxiao is a little different from others... Eh? Wait, why am I thinking like this, actually feeling that Xiaoxiao is different from other boys, that he's special or something.

It must be because of his identity and his special power that he thinks this way, that's right! It's definitely not because of any other reason.

……

"I've been on leave for the past few days. How have you been, Zi?"

On the way, Mu Xiaoxiao walked beside the girl with her hands in her pockets. Yotsuya Miko carried her schoolbag and walked alongside Mu Xiaoxiao. Although the weather was sunny, the winter wind still made her feel a little cold. "Xiaoxiao, you must be laughing at me, right? How could you ask such a question? Do you think I would be happy to see those evil spirits and monsters every day?"

Mu Xiaoxiao tilted her head with a grin, "I thought you would adapt."

"...I just can't get used to that kind of thing."

"Actually, if we're talking about scary things, I used to be about the same as those evil spirits and monsters. How come you weren't afraid?"

“This…” Yotsuya Miko paused, pouting, “I don’t know either.”

Why wasn't she afraid of Xiaoxiao back then? Yotsuya Miko couldn't give a specific reason either. Was it because it could communicate? Could it scare away those evil spirits? Or was there some other reason? Yotsuya Miko remained silent, looking down at the toes of her leather shoes. Another gust of cold wind swept up the fallen leaves on the ground, causing Miko's skirt to flutter.

However, it's not the kind of super short skirt that violates school rules, so it won't expose you.

But she shivered several times from the cold.

"It's already winter, Jianzi, why are you still wearing a skirt?" Mu Xiaoxiao changed the subject.

"Everyone's wearing skirts?"

"That's why I don't understand what you Japanese girls are thinking."

"Well... I guess I'm used to it. But girls are all very vain," Jianzi said. In fact, Jianzi is also a girl who loves to look pretty. She puts on light makeup every day before going out, but she's not as exaggerated as other girls who always carry a makeup box with them to touch up their makeup.

"The same to you?"

“Well…um…”

As they spoke, they could already see the Yotsuya family's house. On the second-floor balcony, someone was taking in clothes. With her sharp eyesight, Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that the lady had the same hair color as Miko, and her hair was styled in a ponytail over her shoulder—a standard lady's hairstyle.

Her charming appearance belied her real age. Mu Xiaoxiao had seen that woman before; she was Miko's mother. However, the latter had never seen him before. She also saw Mu Xiaoxiao and Miko together. It was the first time she had seen her daughter walking with a strange boy, and she almost dropped the clothes in her hand.

Her eyes widened and her little mouth stretched out.

"Meet your son?"

"She actually came back with a boy?"

Good heavens, what's going on?

She turned and ran downstairs with a 'thump thump thump', opening the door directly without her daughter opening it or Mu Xiaoxiao ringing the doorbell.

"Mother?"

“Welcome back, Miko,” Yotsuya Miho’s curious gaze swept over the boy beside her daughter, her curiosity practically written all over her face. “And this is…”

What a handsome boy! Not only is he good-looking, but he also has an outstanding temperament. She was stunned for several seconds. When did Jianzi meet such a handsome boy? They seemed to have a very good relationship.

Could it be her boyfriend?

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Jianzi's classmate and also her friend," Mu Xiaoxiao introduced herself, speechless at the auntie smile on Mrs. Yotsuya's face. "Madam, have you misunderstood something?"

"Mu-kun... are you just a classmate and friend? This is the first time Miko has brought a boy to our home," Mrs. Yotsuya said with a smile.

"Mom, you're exaggerating. I just brought a friend over to play," Miko Yotsuya said, her cheeks flushed. Both her father and mother were always causing embarrassing misunderstandings. "Don't say things that could lead to such misunderstandings!"

"Is it a misunderstanding? But this is the first time I've seen a male friend, and he's so handsome..." At this point, the wife rested her chin on her hand and sighed with feigned emotion, "My Jianzi has finally grown up."

Before his daughter could get angry, he stepped aside with a warm smile and said, "Mr. Mu, please come in."

Actually, I've been here many times, but this is the only time I've come through the main entrance.

After changing into slippers, Mrs. Yotsuya Miho served him tea and water and asked about his well-being. She even invited him to stay for dinner. Unable to refuse his enthusiastic wife, Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree. Seeing that her mother was becoming more and more outrageous, in order to prevent her mother from doing anything outrageous, she took Mu Xiaoxiao's hand and dragged him upstairs to her room.

Little did the wife know that as she watched her daughter's retreating figure, she sighed softly, "On the first date, she took him to her own room to be alone, and said they were just friends... Silly daughter, a unique guy like Mu Jun, if you don't seize the opportunity, he'll slip away."

She could tell that Mu Xiaoxiao was very popular and that many girls probably liked him.

As for her daughter... does being a mother make you stupid? Look at the way Mu Jun looks at you, it's not as simple as just a classmate or friend. As someone who's been through it all, Yotsuya Miho saw through her daughter's abnormality and her thoughts.

Jian Zi was unaware of all this. She brought Mu Xiaoxiao back to her room simply because he had come in many times before, and they had even lived together.

Perhaps that's why Miko was completely unguarded around Mu Xiaoxiao. Even when he transformed into human form and the two were alone together in the bedroom, Miko didn't feel anything was amiss.

However, only Mu Xiaoxiao received this treatment. As for the others, there were actually quite a few boys in the school who tried to chat her up, but Yotsuya Miko rejected them all.

Although she hadn't thought about it seriously, in the instinctive mind of a young girl, Mu Xiaoxiao was special... unfortunately, she herself hadn't realized this yet.

Chapter 204 A Young Girl's Heart Flutter

"It's been a long time since I've been here." The room was familiar, and nothing had changed since her last visit. The only difference was that she had transformed from a tentacle monster into a human. Mu Xiaoxiao originally wanted to casually sit down on the bed.

After hesitating for a moment, I sat cross-legged on the floor.

Although Yotsuya Miko's expression didn't seem to care about these things, she put down her schoolbag, plugged in her phone to charge, and turned around to see Mu Xiaoxiao staring intently at the bed. Following her gaze, she saw that the underwear and pink... were actually thrown there.

The girl with long, straight black hair instantly blushed. "No, don't look—"

She rushed over and clutched it to her chest, inwardly blaming her mother for not putting it in the closet and instead leaving it directly on the bed—everyone saw it!

“Pink~” Mu Xiaoxiao glanced sideways, amused.

"Don't say it!" Yotsuya Miko was so angry and embarrassed that she almost pounced on him, wanting to bury her head in the blanket and pretend to be an ostrich.

"What's there to be shy about? It's just underwear," Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand. While Jianzi was packing her underwear into the closet, Mu Xiaoxiao wandered around the room. Just like girls like to look for things in boys' rooms, Mu Xiaoxiao was also interested in exploring girls' rooms.

I didn't have this thought when I was a tentacle monster, but things are different now.

Hmm, but Jianzi's room looks quite simple. On the table, besides a pen holder and textbooks, there is only a cute roly-poly toy and a picture frame. The bookshelf is mostly filled with extracurricular reading materials. Mu Xiaoxiao found two comic books in it. She didn't expect Jianzi to read comic books.

It's a shoujo manga.

There was nothing under the bed. As for the drawer, the sound of pulling it open startled the girl. "Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?"

"Go on an adventure, see if there's anything strange in your room? Huh? This is..." The drawer was nothing special, but there was a photo frame on the desk with a picture of Jianzi and her father. Mu Xiaoxiao stared at it in surprise.

"A photo? Is this your father? This is the first time I've seen one."

Mu Xiaoxiao smiled.

"So don't look—" Seemingly embarrassed that he saw her photo, she hurriedly closed the closet and pounced on Mu Xiaoxiao. However, she tripped over something and fell forward uncontrollably. The beautiful girl with long black hair stared in astonishment. Before she could even realize what had happened, she saw Mu Xiaoxiao's handsome face getting closer and closer, bigger and bigger.

Mu Xiaoxiao's suppressed face was reflected in the girl's pupils. She got closer and closer, and finally, with a 'plop,' she pounced on him, knocking Mu Xiaoxiao onto the bed. That would have been fine, but then the girl's cherry lips were fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao's mouth.

Both of them felt the soft touch.

"you……"

Finally realizing what was happening, Jianzi quickly parted her lips, her face turning as red as an apple. But perhaps because Jianzi was more reserved, she didn't immediately get off Mu Xiaoxiao. Instead, she stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with a complex look that revealed no thought.

Judging from Miko's expression control, it's impossible to tell what she's thinking; it's all thanks to the training she received from those evil spirits.

I never thought I'd get to enjoy the benefits of Rito's fall. It was a perfect moment, and she even kissed me right there... Oh well, I shouldn't upset her. Mu Xiaoxiao scratched her cheek and chuckled, "This is a commemorative photo, right? He'll be so happy to see your life now."

Yotsuya Miko was stunned. She knew that the 'he' Mu Xiaoxiao mentioned referred to her father.

The girl remained silent, still lying on top of Mu Xiaoxiao, her face gloomy. "Is that so...?"

My mood immediately dipped a bit.

“Things will get better. You’ve reconciled, haven’t you? You even saw each other one last time,” Mu Xiaoxiao pinched her cheek. Seeing that Zi didn’t resist this intimate gesture, she didn’t feel uncomfortable either. She silently gazed at the boy’s handsome face.

Looking at Xiao Xiao's gentle smile, and seeing her reflection in his crimson eyes, the touch on her lips hadn't faded; the scent of Mu Xiao Xiao lingered on her lips. Her heart suddenly raced, and she instinctively blurted out...

"Would you care, just like me?"

"Eh?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised, thinking she had misheard. What was Zi saying?

"Ah...no, no," Yotsuya Miko frantically waved her hands, coming to her senses and feeling ashamed of herself for saying such ambiguous things. She quickly got off Mu Xiaoxiao, but perhaps because she was too panicked, she missed a step and fell back onto the boy.

The girl was on the verge of tears. "It's not like that. It was just that Dad entrusted me to you on his own initiative. It's just that he... Huh?"

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze. Yotsuya Miko's lips trembled as she met Mu Xiaoxiao's beautiful eyes. "What did I say? I actually said this. I, I'm such an idiot, an idiot, a big idiot!"

Despite her frustration, Yotsuya Miko also felt a sense of relief deep down. At least, this incident had shown Xiaoxiao that it wasn't all bad.

He found out in the end...

"Your father entrusted you to me? Wasn't he asking me to help you?" Mu Xiaoxiao was full of questions, but when she saw the beautiful girl with long, straight black hair turn her head away and remain silent, Mu Xiaoxiao realized something. Without saying a word, she understood.

It turned out to be like this...

No wonder Miko acted strangely after that incident. And judging from her attitude, she didn't seem to be against dating him. Having known each other for so long, Mu Xiaoxiao thought he understood Miko Yotsuya very well. He raised his hand and put his arm around the girl's waist.

Yotsuya Miko twisted her body, "What, what are you doing?"

“Since your uncle entrusted you to me, I have no choice but to do as he says and take full responsibility,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with a mischievous smile as she moved closer to the girl’s face. “Only by fulfilling his last wish can he leave this world with peace of mind, right?”

Yotsuya Miko was so nervous she almost crumpled her clothes. Just as she was about to retort, Mu Xiaoxiao suppressed her smile.

The young man's handsome face was right in front of me, and his pleasant scent and gentle voice reached my ears. He said earnestly, "Of course, I know that he must have misunderstood something. If you don't want to, Jianzi, just push me away. It won't affect our relationship, and I will still help you."

Hearing him say that, Yotsuya Miko stopped struggling and let the boy hug her waist, exchanging complicated glances with him.

She didn't push him away, not knowing if it was because of his words that stirred her heart, or because of her father's last wish... But Jianzi knew that she didn't dislike Xiaoxiao, and even, she had developed some feelings for him.

He suddenly grabbed her chin.

"Little one, what are you going to do?" the girl asked anxiously.

"I'm going to kiss you. You kissed me first just now, but I didn't feel anything. Now it's my turn. If you don't want to, you can refuse~"

"..."
