Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

My body has indeed undergone some noticeable changes, but these girls are just too abnormal! They climbed up so easily? With their athletic ability and motor skills, they could achieve amazing results in any sports club they joined.

As she thought about it, she said, "It's okay. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually quite good at sports."

The group sneaked away from the school and ran along the riverbank slope. Their laughter and playful shouts echoed in the sunlight. Yotsuya Miko was also infected by the joyful atmosphere, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. Usually, her only friend at school was Xiaohua.

It's good to have these new partners now.

Although... she was still a little panicked about skipping class.

"Is this your first time skipping class, Miko? How does it feel?" Mu Xiaoxiao walked to her side, placed his hand on the girl's head, and stroked her hair. Miko felt the warmth of the small hand and the boy's gentleness, and her heart pounded.

The sweetness of love made her a little tipsy. "Hmm... I'm a little nervous, and a little excited too."

"I can tell you were really excited. Having had this experience is a precious treasure," Mu Xiaoxiao grinned. "Jianzi, you're still too honest. Look at Xia Hai and the others. It must be their first time sneaking out of school. They don't seem nervous or excited at all."

"Who said that?" Kasumi turned her head. "Little one, even though we seem to be having a lot of fun, we also feel nervous and excited, especially when we think about being discovered by Reina-sensei..."

Kasumi Haruno pressed her fist to her chest. "I'm sure I'll get a beating."

"Don't worry, I'll handle Ling Nai," Mu Xiaoxiao waved her hand confidently. "Ling Nai is nothing, cough cough, I'll definitely make sure she doesn't have the energy to teach you a lesson."

It seems like there's a hidden meaning in what you're saying?

"And you guys? This must be the first time you've skipped class like this, right?"

"Xiaoxiao, aren't you underestimating me?" Sakura Natsumi put her hands on her hips. "I don't know about Tsubaki and the others, but I used to skip class... but that's all in the past."

But you've experienced far more terrifying things, so how can this small scene still excite you? Mu Xiaoxiao moved her lips, but didn't say those words.

Xia Hai thought of her childhood sweetheart, glanced at Dong Hua, and shook her head. It was indeed a thing of the past. She didn't miss the past at all. On the contrary, she was happier with Xiao Xiao now.

“I used to be a student at the private St. Hua Girls’ School, which was very strict, and I never tried to skip classes,” Chun said, shaking her head.

“Private St. Hua Girls’ Academy? Wow, it’s a prestigious girls’ school,” Si Cheng Xingli seemed to know something about it. “No wonder she was once a young lady… Well, how could a young lady skip class?”

"I'm not some young lady anymore, I'm just a maid," Rurikawa Tsubaki still misses her former self, and can't help but think of the broken Rurikawa family, feeling a little sad. However, seeing Mu Xiaoxiao's caring expression and the friendly looks from the girls around her, she is relieved.

Chun smiled easily, and her sad mood was healed...

“Although I don’t skip classes like this, I used to ask for leave often,” Matsubara Touka said with a smile when he saw the atmosphere was a bit heavy. “Because of my poor health, I rarely went to school and often stayed in the infirmary to rest.”

"It seems that Dong Hua had a tough time back then too."

"It's alright. At that time, although I couldn't do anything, it was precisely because of my illness that I was able to meet Xiaoxiao. The first time I saw him, I was still in a hospital bed. At that time, I felt that it must be fate that brought us together."

Watching Dong Hua and Xing Li chat enthusiastically, Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes were strange. What was going on? Although he knew Dong Hua's feelings for him, the brother-complex she had for her brother was gone, but what about her yandere side? Where did it go?

This gentle way of chatting with everyone is definitely not the Dong Hua I know!!

Sakura Natsumi also had a strange expression. Fate? Don't think I don't know, Touka-chan, you clearly liked Hōichi back then, otherwise you wouldn't have caused so much trouble. And... Natsumi looked at Matsubara Touka, who was chatting gently with Anri and Kasumi.

She was momentarily dazed and realized that Dong Hua now was very similar to her back then, before she turned into a monster, when she was still human and physically weak.

This is certainly a good thing; compared to that arrogant and terrifying Dong Hua, the original Dong Hua is much better. However, Xia Hai also knows that his thoughts cannot influence her, and this change must be due to some minor reason.

The bus stopped at the platform, and the group filed in and boarded. There weren't many passengers on the bus, so the girls sat together in the last seats.

"Where are we going?" Songyuan Donghua glanced at the bus route, unsure of their destination.

“Anywhere is fine, no destination, no route,” Mu Xiaoxiao suggested. “Or we could just ride straight to the final stop?”

“They’ve left Tokyo city, right? They’re practically in the mountains,” Haruno Kasumi said, sitting by the window. In front of her was Mu Xiaoxiao, a beautiful girl with short, flowing hair. She gripped the back of her chair and poked at the back of Mu Xiaoxiao’s head with her finger.

"Just treat it as a picnic."

“A picnic…that’s good. It would be even better if it were summer, but the weather is so cold now.” Everyone agreed to the idea of ​​going on a picnic, and no one objected. Matsubara Touka blinked when he heard Haruno Kasumi’s words.

“We can go to the beach in the summer, and winter is nice too, isn’t it? Christmas is just around the corner!” As soon as she finished speaking, the girls were stunned, then fell silent and all turned their eyes to Mu Xiaoxiao.

The latter was completely bewildered.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Confused.

“Christmas is coming soon, Little one,” Xia Hai said quietly.

“Yes, it’s Christmas, little one,” Sicheng Xingli nodded in agreement.

“This is a very important holiday,” Haruno Kasumi said, teasing Mu Xiaoxiao’s hair.

“We are all looking forward to it,” Matsubara Touka added.

“This, Christmas… I’m really looking forward to it too,” Miko Yotsuya said casually.

Although Akane Nanao didn't speak, the slight gleam in her eyes said it all.

"Xiaoxiao, even I can't stand by your side right now," Rurikawa Tsubaki concluded. The former young lady smiled happily, her cool and delicate face beaming with joy. "I'm also really looking forward to Christmas, so, have you decided what gift to give me?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was immediately overwhelmed. She had to give everyone a gift, and she had to carefully choose them. It seemed like such a hassle.

"I think I might as well just give myself to you..."

Chapter 233 Urban Legends?

The tram traveled out of the city center and stopped at its final stop, which was in a remote rural town. The warm sunshine dispelled the cold air, and some of the withered branches and leaves looked pale, but some trees were still lush and green.

The wooden platform in the grass looked a bit old, but it was very clean, and you could tell that it was cleaned regularly.

“The air is very clean, and there aren’t many people around,” Rurikawa Tsubaki said as she got off the bus, looking up at the sky. “It’s a great place for camping.”

"Camping? It's December now," Kasumi Haruno raised her hand to the sun, the sunlight warming her body. "If you really want to go camping, let's wait until summer vacation~"

"This bit of cold shouldn't have much of an impact on us," Songyuan Donghua chuckled. All the girls present had had relations with Xiaoxiao, and their physical genes had undergone perfect growth and evolution. As for her, although she hadn't yet, Donghua, being a tentacle monster, was naturally not afraid of the cold.

"That's what I said..."

"We can talk about camping later. We can go scout out the area in the mountains first," Mu Xiaoxiao said, looking at a clear mountain path on the ground, indicating that this was not a deserted place and that people often came and went here.

“Speaking of which, I used to come here to play when I was a child,” Natsumi Sakuragami said, looking around at the surroundings and feeling a sense of familiarity.

“You came with your brother, right?” Matsubara Touka clapped his hands. “I remember now, I came here too, back when I was very young.”

“This…is indeed from Feng Yi,” Xia Hai said, looking at Mu Xiaoxiao, who shrugged her shoulders.

"Why are you looking at me? Childhood sweethearts are not for me. Anything that happened before has nothing to do with me."

"I feel like Xiaoxiao is jealous, she looks so resentful," Songyuan Donghua laughed heartily, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "Xiaoxiao seems to have some kind of special obsession with her childhood sweetheart?"

"It's not that I'm obsessed, it's just that I'm a little envious."

This guy has so many beautiful girls around him, yet he's still envious of his childhood sweetheart? Seriously, could this be the main reason you broke them up?

“Although I came here with Feng Yi when I was a child, that’s all in the past. Xiao Xiao, it’s you who’s with us now,” Sakura Natsumi immediately grabbed his hand and hugged the boy’s arm. “Compared to the past, we cherish the present moment more.”

“That’s right,” Sicheng Xingli nodded in agreement. “Childhood sweethearts are just childhood sweethearts; they can’t compare to Xiaoxiao.”

"Like Xiaoxiao, I don't have a childhood sweetheart—"

Rurikawa Tsubaki's calm words were the final blow, leaving Anri and Natsumi both speechless. Yotsuya Miko blinked and raised her hand, "Me neither."

"That's enough," Xia Hai said with a dark face, feeling that they were hinting at something. "Let's go inside and take a look around."

"Should we buy something? There aren't any convenience stores around here, are there?" The down-on-her-luck maid was always so considerate. Rurikawa Tsubaki had a faint smile on her face. "Snacks and drinks, you should still bring some, shouldn't you?"

"The convenience store doesn't seem to have any, but there should be vending machines. Let's go look for them—"

Sure enough, there were vending machines nearby. Even in sparsely populated areas, vending machines are never lacking in Japan and can be seen everywhere. Mu Xiaoxiao refused the steaming hot oden and coffee and opened a can of ice-cold cola and gulped it down.

"Cool!"

"Carbonated drinks... Xiaoxiao is still like a little kid."

Xingli joked.

"Young people should drink soda, you don't understand... Besides, I'm not that old, am I?"

"But you usually seem so mature, which is kind of cute in contrast to how you are now."

Chatting as we entered the forest, the path was easy to follow, a paved trail already laid out. The rustling of leaves surrounded us. Pushing aside the branches, a babbling brook soon came into view.

“The environment here is so nice, Xiaoxiao, we should definitely come here to camp sometime,” Xingli said enthusiastically, seemingly really enjoying the scenery.

Matsubara Touka and Rurikawa Tsubaki sat down on the rocks with drinks and snacks in their arms. Haruno Kasumi scooped up some water from the stream and muttered, "So cool." Akane and Miko were also peeking out from the stream, looking at something.

"This is a great place to stargaze, but the problem is... picnicking is one thing, but aren't you afraid of encountering danger if you camp here overnight?"

"Danger? Anyway, with Xiaoxiao here, what danger could there be?"

“It’s not surprising to encounter anything, such as monsters, evil spirits, or even urban legends,” Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly lowered her voice, her tone becoming erratic and carrying a hint of eeriness. “Xingli, there are indeed extraordinary beings in this world. I believe Jianzi will have a deep understanding of this.”

Yotsuya Miko happened to hear this, and almost slipped into the water. She then nervously looked around with her hands on her chest, "Little one, are there any monsters around here?"

"Haha, aren't those evil spirits everywhere? We just can't see them. How can you see them now?"

"...cannot be seen, did not come out,"

Miko Yotsuya saw nothing and relaxed slightly, but before she could relax, Kasumi Haruno added with a mischievous smile, "Kimi is the leader of the Hime-shin-kai, so he definitely knows more than we do. Miko, even if the evil spirits don't appear, other monsters will definitely appear, like the urban legends that are often talked about at school."

"Urban legend..."

Mu Xiaoxiao also knew about this. Strange urban legends are very popular in Japan. They may sound unbelievable, but in this increasingly abnormal world, any urban legend is possible.

"Maybe there's an urban legend or some kind of monster eyeing us right now~"

Whispering rustling——

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yotsuya Miko shivered. The girls found it amusing that Miko was so calm on the outside but actually so timid. They wanted to continue to scare her. At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped smiling.

She frowned. "Perhaps... Kasumi unintentionally revealed the truth."

"Eh?"

“It seems there really is something strange watching us,” Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked around, “right around here.”

Kasumi Haruno's smile vanished. She quickly ran to Mu Xiaoxiao's side, feeling safer there. "You're kidding, right? I was just saying... Xiaoxiao, what kind of monster is it?"

"I don't know, I didn't see it."

"Then how do you know?"

"intuition."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xingli and Qian also came over, all showing nervous expressions. Since it was Xiaoxiao's intuition, it was basically the truth. There was nothing in the world more accurate than his intuition.

The beautiful scenery before them began to take on an eerie veil in the eyes of the young girls.

"How about we just go?"
