Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"Anyway, Xiaoxiao, don't forget to come to our event on the day of the school festival—"

Ignoring the surprised and complicated looks around her, Haruno Kasumi tiptoed, tilted her head back, and kissed Mu Xiaoxiao's cheek. Then, blushing, she waved her hand and ran away. How dare she do such an ambiguous thing in the school, in the corridor, and in front of everyone...

Kasumi Haruno has become bolder.

Mu Xiaoxiao raised the corners of her mouth and entered the classroom with her bag.

Snapped--

The moment the schoolbag was tossed onto the desk, accompanied by a waft of fragrance, the silver-haired beauty picked it up and hugged it to her arms. She then plopped down on his desk, swinging her alluring long legs in black stockings. "Xiaoxiao, you guys are really bold."

"You saw it?" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't mind Xingli occupying her desk and calmly sat down in front of her, though the posture was a bit ambiguous. "Xingli, be careful not to expose yourself—"

Looking down at her skirt, from my angle, I could almost see what was underneath her skirt.

"...h!"

Sicheng Xingli said 'h' but made no attempt to cover herself up or hold down her skirt. Instead, she slightly opened her thighs, trying to attract his attention. But Mu Xiaoxiao turned her head away at that moment, looking elsewhere, which made the silver-haired ponytail maid grit her teeth, wondering if this scoundrel was doing it on purpose.

Prude!

Xingli muttered to herself.

Just then, Kofukuji Takaya, who was not far away, secretly watched this side and saw everything that Shiki Anri did. He found it hard to believe that his childhood friend was behaving so improperly, and he was furious that she had fallen in love with someone else.

My relationship with Xingli is clearly the longest and deepest, but now, my childhood sweetheart Sicheng Xingli has done that kind of thing to another boy. Even if you like Mu Xiaoxiao, weren't you always so sharp-tongued and often spoke ill of me?

Why am I so gentle and shameless with him?

Do you like him that much?!

No, Anri didn't just do that. The two of them may have already done it. They may have done that kind of lewd thing. Just thinking about the girl he liked enjoying herself in another man's arms made Kofukuji Takaya's heart ache.

“Chizuka hasn’t come back yet—I don’t know if she’ll make it in time for Christmas,” Mu Xiaoxiao said.

"I think she'll come back, unless all her feelings for you are fake. But I'd really like to see you get dumped by her, Xiaoxiao. That would be so funny, wouldn't it?"

"..."

"Haha, just kidding. From my observation of Chizuka, although she's a bit slow, her feelings for you, Xiaoxiao, are real, without a doubt. Besides..." Anri suddenly lowered her voice and bent down slightly, "Even if you are abandoned, Xiaoxiao, I will always stay by your side and will never leave you."

"Xingli...you guys are getting better and better at it," Mu Xiaoxiao said, resting her head on the girl's lap, touched.

Startled, Xingli quickly closed her legs, afraid that Xiaoxiao might do something wrong, after all, they were still at school.

Speaking of Chizuka, it's been a while since I've seen her. Shiki Anri misses her a lot. Chizuka was her good friend before Koko, and they were truly like sisters. But it seems that she was the one who got together with Koko first.

I'm actually the third party involved in this situation—no, I don't even know which third party I am.

So many things happened back then... Thinking this, Anri felt a pair of eyes staring at her. Without turning around, she knew it was Kofukuji Takaya, her childhood friend. The girl didn't look at him, but chose to ignore him.

"What activities will our class have at the festival?" Mu Xiaoxiao was unaware of the girl's thoughts.

"Xiao Xiao, are you interested?" Xing Li asked deliberately, touching his head and pressing it onto her thigh, letting him rest his head on her lap.

"No, I was just asking. I won't have time to participate in any class activities on Christmas Day."

The beautiful silver-haired maid toyed with his black hair. "I guessed so, Little one. Get ready, you'll be incredibly busy that day. And I'm really looking forward to your Christmas present, Little one!"

Watching Anri's graceful figure disappear after jumping off the table, Mu Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought. A gift... Kasumi had just specifically mentioned these things to her; could she also be hinting at a gift? Besides the girls at school, there were also Reina, Ruifei, and even Mrs. Risa... Ugh... This is so troublesome.

The white-haired girl, back in her seat, secretly glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao behind her. Seeing his pensive and troubled expression, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself. Xingli was indeed looking forward to Mu Xiaoxiao's gift, but she was fine with whatever Xiaoxiao gave her. She wasn't picky and didn't care about the price; as long as it was Xiaoxiao's thoughtfulness, she would be satisfied.

And... I'll prepare a Christmas present for him too.

A faint smile appeared on her flawless, exquisite face. She looked as cute as a mischievous little fox. She took out her phone from the drawer and conspired with Tsubaki and the others to decide how to choose a Christmas present for Xiaoxiao.

"Xiaoxiao, I'll give you a surprise later..."

Chapter 251

礼物

"Ding-boom-"

After the bell rang, students poured out of the classrooms like a tide, rushing towards the school store or cafeteria amidst the noise, as if facing a war. However, some students brought their own lunches and stayed in the classroom or found a quiet place to eat them.

Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the bento box on the table in front of her with a confused expression, then glanced at Si Chengxingli's hurried departure. Full of questions, she opened the bento box and took a bite of the heart-shaped rice balls inside.

"Ugh, why are you in such a hurry?" Mu Xiaoxiao said while chewing. Besides, Xingli usually eats lunch together, so this is the first time she's left in such a rush.

The silver-haired beauty stepped onto the rooftop stairs. There was no one there, and the door was locked. However, she gently pushed it, and the rooftop door, which should have been locked, was opened. She stretched her head forward and was surprised to see that several pretty girls were already waiting on the rooftop.

"Apricot Pear, over here—"

Kasumi Haruno waved, and Natsumi Sakuragami and Tsubaki Rurikawa smiled back at her. Like Anri, the three girls possessed a charm and beauty far beyond that of ordinary people—the kind of beauty that could drive men mad. Unfortunately, there was no one on the rooftop, and no one could appreciate the unparalleled splendor of these beautiful girls.

"Why are only you guys here? Qian and Jianzi aren't here?"

Sachishige Anri was puzzled.

"I don't know, I didn't see them," Natsumi Sakura said, resting her chin on her hand. "Because I'm in the same class as Tsubaki and Kasumi, we came together. As for Miko and the others, I didn't see them."

"Could it be with her friend? That Xiaohua?"

“No, I saw it. Miko and Sayu were both taken away by Ms. Matsubara. As for Akane, I don’t know,” Tsubaki Rurikawa said calmly. “They should be discussing Christmas presents with us, just like us.”

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have been so in sync, leaving Mu Xiaoxiao behind and gathering together. After saying that, Liu Lichuan Chun took out her phone and said, "I'll send them a message later, let's go for a coffee after school and discuss this."

Chun said.

"Aren't you going to invite Xiaoxiao?" Xia Hai tilted his head.

"Of course I won't call him. We agreed to give Xiaoxiao a surprise," said Liulichuan Chun, a slight smile appearing on her stunningly beautiful face as she mentioned Mu Xiaoxiao, her beauty breathtaking.

Shiki Shiki sat down next to Rurikawa Tsubaki. She used to feel inferior in front of Tsubaki. Back then, Tsubaki was not only charming, but also had the status of a young lady from a wealthy family. Even a fallen young lady is still a young lady.

As it turns out... the two have actually become best friends. After all, being maids together, their relationship has only grown stronger.

“I think with those weird and wonderful abilities of hers, she could definitely have guessed it,” she said.

"We can only guess that we'll prepare a gift for him, but we probably won't know what it is," Tsubaki Rurikawa said thoughtfully. "After all, it's the first holiday we've spent together, so we need to prepare something special. Now, let's get back to the main topic. Natsumi, Anri, what do you think would be a good gift?"

"Ideally, it should be something he likes..."

"A pretty girl?"

Xingli tried to speak, but as soon as she said it, she was met with strange looks from her three companions. She hurriedly covered her mouth, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Does he not like girls?"

Kasumi Haruno didn't know what to say. "Well, he probably likes her, since he has so many girls in his harem now. But we can't exactly help him find cute girls, can we? That would be too strange."

"Xiao Xiao once searched for supernatural beings for a while, whether human or monster. Perhaps we can start from this angle?"

"Isn't this even stranger?"

The girls chatted enthusiastically. Chun listened for a while, then clapped her hands and said, "It doesn't have to be so complicated. It doesn't necessarily have to be something he needs, and it doesn't have to be expensive. As long as it conveys our feelings, that's enough."

"Give him our bodies?"

brush--

Three pairs of eyes fell on Anri again. Natsumi covered his face and stared helplessly at the silver-haired girl. "Anri, why are your thoughts always so... strange?"

“This is not a good idea,” Chun surprisingly agreed, causing the others to widen their eyes.

"But it's better to choose a proper gift... and preferably something small that can be used often, like a watch or a cell phone."

The girls huddled together and discussed for a long time, coming up with some general ideas, but still hadn't made a decision. It was clear they were taking this gift very seriously, each wanting to give their beloved boy the best Christmas present.

I don't want to do something half-hearted, but I also can't do the same thing as others. It's a real dilemma.

After lunch break, Shiki Shiki was somewhat absent-minded during the afternoon classes. When the school bell rang, she didn't even say goodbye to Mu Xiaoxiao before rushing out to meet up with Nanao Akane and the others.

The girls sitting in the coffee shop were all stunningly beautiful. Even in the coffee shop, they attracted many men who came up to chat them up. They were the center of attention and the focus of men's gazes.

It was only after Anri glared at and angrily rebuked the men who were trying to strike up a conversation that the restless men were stopped. Nanao Akane sipped her Americano and said, "Is this how you usually attract attention? Being too popular isn't a good thing."

"Akane, you must be quite popular too."

“But it’s not as exaggerated as you guys. However, I’m just like you now,” she touched her face and teased Jianzi, “Jianzi, when are you joining us? You and Xiaoxiao have already confirmed your relationship, right?”

"I think Christmas is a great opportunity to present my body as a gift, how about that?"

Yotsuya Miko's pretty face turned bright red. These girls were really something. She couldn't resist their teasing and lowered her head.

“No, no, we can’t let Miko have all of Koko on Christmas Day,” Haruno Kasumi quickly shook her head and objected.

"Alright, alright, let's get back to the main topic. Have you decided on your Christmas presents yet?" Matsubara Touka forced the conversation back to the main topic. "I asked Reina-sensei, and it seems they have their own plans and haven't told us."

"We haven't decided yet. We feel that Xiaoxiao is usually quite laid-back. Dong Hua, have you made a decision?"

"No, but I have an idea..."

She lowered her voice and whispered a few words. Several girls craned their necks and gathered around, their eyes shining brighter as they listened. "Although it's a bit troublesome, there's no better gift than this. Dong Hua, you're a genius! How could you think of such a way?"

Even Yotsuya Miko showed an interested expression, "My grades in home economics are pretty good, and I'm quite good at it."

"It's decided then. Let's finish it as soon as possible before Christmas—Xiao Xiao will never expect it, it'll definitely be a surprise for him!"

Have a cold

I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days due to a cold, so I'm taking a day off. I'll update tomorrow.

Chapter 252

Green Monster

Christmas is just around the corner...

Wrapped in thick clothes, dressed in the casual attire of a cute young girl, she held a gun in her hand. Standing beside a telephone pole under the black night sky, Nishiki Chizuka rubbed her hands together and murmured softly as she gazed at the night sky above.

Unfortunately, his companion overheard them.

“Chizuka,” Inoue Takina gave her a strange look, “We’re on a mission right now, why are you spacing out? You never used to care much about holidays, why are you like this now…”

"Um, I was just making a casual remark."

Chizuki Nishiki looked embarrassed.

The black-haired beauty still looked puzzled. "Sigh? I think you're really looking forward to Christmas, Chizuka. Just a heads up, we probably won't have a holiday on Christmas Day. There have been a lot of attacks in Tokyo lately, and we need to deal with them."

After she finished speaking, Inoue Takina saw her friend's expression visibly fall.

What's wrong with Chizuka? She seems to be acting strange lately. In the past, she could concentrate fully and without distraction when doing tasks, but these past few days, especially after returning from school, she often gets distracted and even secretly hides to the side to send messages to someone on her phone.

As Chizuka's partner and companion, Inoue Takina was able to perceive all of this.

"Chizuka, you...you haven't become obsessed with the life of an ordinary person, have you?" Takina knew perfectly well that Chizuka had been an ordinary student at an ordinary school for a while, and then came back to this state, which naturally made her think a lot.
