Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"No, no, I thought you would leave with Reina. Did you send Sakuramiya away?"

"They left safely, and as for Reina-sensei... she doesn't need me," Shiina Chizuru stared intently at Mu Xiaoxiao's blood-red eyes and face, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice slightly and whispered, "Thank you—"

"Is this a token of gratitude from the Sakura sisters?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked as she walked downstairs with her schoolbag.

"No...this is my way of thanking you."

Shiina Chizuru crossed her arms in front of her, making the shape of her breasts even more obvious and shocking. The girl was completely unaware of how alluring her body was, lost in her own thoughts, and followed Mu Xiaoxiao behind her.

"Ok?"

"Last time, it was you who saved me, Mu-kun, right?" She finally said these words, her voice no longer carrying its usual stiff and cold tone, but instead soft and gentle. "That Tai-mura teacher, although only Reina-sensei appeared, it was you, Mu-kun, who truly helped me, wasn't it?"

"Huh? You found out? Reina told you?" Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly realized, understanding why Shiina Chizuru's attitude had changed. "Don't worry about it too much. Who told me to be the Goddess of Pure Love? Those blondies should be wiped out!"

Pure love? Yellow hair?

Shiina Chizuru quickened her pace to catch up with Mu Xiaoxiao and walked beside him. "Even so, I still want to thank you. And this time too... it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, Sakura-miya-san would have had a terrible fate."

It is precisely because Chizuru Shiina has experienced something similar that she can empathize with them and understand their feelings.

After saying that, the girl stared at Mu Xiaoxiao's face for a long time. "Mu Jun is a very incredible person. If he weren't so promiscuous, he would probably be perfect and without any flaws."

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

"Um, I didn't mean to be sarcastic," Shiina Chizuru quickly waved her hand and smiled shyly. "I used to think you were a scumbag, but now... even though you're a womanizer, I know you're a very good person, much better than those perverts."

“Then comparing myself to them would be an insult to me,” Mu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes.

Chizuru Shiina covered her mouth and chuckled softly. "I know, I was just saying. Anyway, I won't look at you with the same eyes as before... Besides, being too perfect is a bit unreal. You're fine as you are now."

“I have many flaws, and the reason why Xia Haixingli and the others are with me is not because of my face.”

Rather, I should say that back then my appearance was that of a terrifying tentacle monster.

I know, I understand, Shiina Chizuru thought to herself, but didn't say it out loud. Wouldn't saying it out loud be implying that she was also wavering because of Mu Xiaoxiao?

"Hey, Mu Jun, you have those kinds of relationships with them... Sakura Natsumi, Haruno Kasumi, and Shiki Anri, including Matsubara Touka from our class. You're having a harem like this, and they're not jealous at all?"

Chizuru Shiina couldn't resist her curiosity and asked.

"Wow, you remember quite a lot of names? Did you do some research beforehand?" Mu Xiaoxiao teased.

Chizuru Shiina blushed. "What investigation? Everyone's talking about it so much, it's all over the place. I can't even not know."

"Of course they'll still get jealous, especially Touka. Shiina, you'd better be careful around her. The other girls are just a little jealous. Whether it's Natsumi or Miko, they're all very gentle, but Touka..."

After saying that, Mu Xiaoxiao stroked her chin and pondered for a moment, "But recently Dong Hua seems to have become gentler, not as sickly as before."

In fact, Matsubara Touka's personality was relatively gentle from the beginning. She was bedridden for many years due to her illness. However, after she turned into a tentacle monster, her personality changed drastically, and she became a terrifying yandere. It just so happened that Mu Xiaoxiao met her at the time when she had turned into a monster.

So in my mind, Dong Hua is a yandere character.

"You guys really don't care what others think, do you? This kind of thing that only happens in manga is actually happening around me," Shiina Chizuru muttered. "But, even if you can be tolerant of each other, with so many girls around, Mu-kun, your body—"

After saying that, she realized what she had said. Shiina Chizuru's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp as she hurriedly explained, "I was just... just a little curious, I didn't mean anything by it."

"Why are you gossiping? But don't worry about that, I'm very strong. Even if they all ganged up on me, they wouldn't be a match for me!" Mu Xiaoxiao said proudly, her head held high. She was probably thinking about the absurdity of Christmas Eve. Although she was very tired, she had satisfied their needs.

You should know that at that time, it wasn't just young girls like Kasumi and Tsubaki, but also married women like Risa and Reina.

"Who, who's worried? I already said I was just curious," Shiina Chizuru blushed with embarrassment. As for Mu Xiaoxiao's claim that even if they all attacked together, they wouldn't be a match for him, Shiina Chizuru didn't know what to say, so she could only mutter, "Pervert~"

Despite making such complaints, deep down... I felt a strange shiver, a tingling, electric current coursing through my body.

"Um, I, I'm going home first," the two left the campus and walked a distance before Shiina Chizuru suddenly stopped at a fork in the road. Her home was in another direction. The girl hurriedly waved to Mu Xiaoxiao and then ran away without looking back. Her flustered and shy expression could still be vaguely seen.

Soon her figure disappeared at the end of the road, leaving Mu Xiaoxiao touching her nose and tilting her head, "I feel like my relationship with her has improved a bit."

"call……"

Shiina Chizuru stopped running only when Mu Xiaoxiao was out of sight. She patted her proud and upright chest, the shyness lingering in her heart. The girl stopped and thought about what had happened today, sighing inwardly.

"My relationship with Mu-kun has improved," Chizuru said, touching her burning cheeks. "It's the first time I've had a good friend I can talk to freely, although the topics we talked about were a bit too far off the mark."

After saying that, she felt inexplicably melancholy again, "We're supposed to be friends, but we're not quite. Sigh... I wonder what he thinks of me..."

Chapter 267 I'm keeping an eye on you for Rena-sensei

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph?~~"

Shiina Chizuru's alluring cherry lips parted slightly as she hummed an unknown tune while preparing bento boxes in the small kitchen. Shiina Chizuru, who always had a stern face and a cold, rigid personality at school, was now unexpectedly revealing her girlish side.

In fact, Shiina Chizuru is very girlish, but most people can't see it. For example, in front of that Tsukino-sensei, Shiina Chizuru becomes just like an ordinary girl. No, to be honest, she is just an ordinary girl.

"Chizuru seems to be in a good mood~"

Her mother's teasing words reached her ears from behind. Shiina Chizuru didn't turn around because her face was already turning red. She stamped her foot, "Kasan—what are you saying!"

I have a feeling that my mother is hinting at something.

"What's wrong? Is what Mom said not true? Chizuru, are you in a bad mood?"

"..."

Shiina Chizuru pursed her lips, unable to speak or refute. She was indeed in a good mood, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why. Even though her relationship had failed, and even though Reina-sensei had no interest in Tsukino-sensei, Tsukino-sensei wouldn't choose her.

Despite the sadness of the event, she didn't feel much distress... Instead, she seemed to be in a good mood. Could it be because of Mu Xiaoxiao? Shiina Chizuru pouted and scratched her head in frustration.

"Chizuru, have you been in a bad mood these past few days? Even though you haven't said anything, Mom can tell. You're not in a good mood, but today... did something good happen at school?"

"Mom, please don't interfere in my affairs—"

Shiina Chizuru forcibly pushed her gossipy mother out of the kitchen, then leaned against the wall with a melancholy expression, finally letting out a breath of stale air with complicated emotions.

"Good morning~"

"Good morning--"

The snowflakes under the white Christmas tree were almost invisible, but the temperature was still very low. Students coming and going were bundled up and greeted each other, creating a harmonious scene. Only Shiina Chizuru was an exception.

He had been all alone the whole way, which is quite rare in Japan.

Shiina Chizuru watched coldly, expressionless, but deep down she felt a strong sense of envy. She also longed for close friends and a boyfriend, but her personality was not popular at school. Just as she was feeling down, she was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

"Yo?"

It was Mu Xiaoxiao. The moment she saw him, the little bit of disappointment in the girl's heart vanished. Shiina Chizuru wanted to act as aloof as usual, but found that she couldn't be aloof at all in front of Mu Xiaoxiao. She wanted to lecture him like she would those bad students, but she didn't have the confidence.

The girl didn't know what expression to make. However, Shiina Chizuru herself probably didn't realize that the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up in a smile after seeing Mu Xiaoxiao.

Good morning, Shiina-kun.

Mu Xiaoxiao simply greeted her and was about to walk past Shiina Chizuru when the latter scratched her fair cheek with her fingers and said somewhat shyly, "Good morning... Um, Mu-kun, you can just teach me my name. Calling me classmate feels a bit awkward."

"Ok?"

Chizuru Shiina became even more embarrassed, stammering as she turned her head away, "We're friends now, right?"

Mu Xiaoxiao blinked. "Does it count?"

Chizuru Shiina's face turned red with anger. "Doesn't that count?!"

"Not counting."

The girl truly understood how awful and mean Mu Xiaoxiao was, and her chest heaved with anger. "Sakura-kun wants to see you later to express her gratitude."

After saying that, Shiina Chizuru put her hands on her hips, gritted her teeth, and said, "Even if you don't consider me a friend, I'm going with you—"

"Thanks, what are you going to do?"

"I...I'm keeping an eye on you for Rena-sensei, so you won't go out and flirt with other women again."

"what?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered. Flirting? Are you sure? And what's with you keeping an eye on me for Lingna? Before Mu Xiaoxiao could even voice her opinion, Shiina Chizuru stubbornly added, "Although you saved the Sakura sisters, Mu-kun, being a womanizer is still not allowed."

After she finished speaking, a hint of shyness appeared on her cold and beautiful face.

"..."

"Putting aside the issue of womanizing, Shiina, why are you acting like a girlfriend?"

Chizuru Shiina blushed even more.

"Besides, aren't you and Ling Nai rivals for love?" Mu Xiaoxiao asked, bewildered. "What exactly is your relationship? It feels very strange."

"I... even if I'm rivals with Rena-sensei, I still respect her. Besides, if you two are together, I might have a chance to be with Tsukino-sensei..." Regardless of whether Mu Xiaoxiao believed it or not, Shiina Chizuru herself felt complicated after saying this.

Feeling a little disappointed, a little sad, and a little confused, the girl wasn't actually keeping a close eye on Mu Xiaoxiao because of this, as she claimed.

Especially when he thought of the scene of Reina and him together, Shiina Chizuru felt a little bitter, but he couldn't say anything. Mu Xiaoxiao took in his defeated look. The boy shook his head and said, "Whatever you want. But I don't plan to see those two. As for gratitude, there's no need. It was just a coincidence."

Shiina Chizuru's complicated emotions vanished instantly, her bright, large eyes blinking rapidly. "You're not going?"

Do I really have to go?

"...Although they aren't as stunningly charming as Reina-sensei, Sakuramiya Saya and Sakuramiya Hinata are still very pretty girls, otherwise they wouldn't have been targeted by perverts," Shiina Chizuru said curiously. "Such a good opportunity, why aren't you going?"

"Sakura-miya-kun is really grateful to you. Maybe I'll have a chance to get close to him," Chizuru said casually, but she stole a glance at Mu Xiaoxiao to see his expression.

"What do you take me for? Don't be fooled by my harem, whether it's Rena, Kasumi, or Anri, I was forced into it all," Mu Xiao said, bringing up the topic of Versailles. Then, she changed the subject and revealed a kind smile. "Shiina, if I remember correctly, I saved you back then. So, will you give me a chance to kiss you?"

"..."

A blush rose on Shiina Chizuru's exquisitely beautiful face, "H—"

After saying that, he ran a few steps to Mu Xiaoxiao, put his hands behind his back and smiled slyly at him, "If you want to kiss her, go ask Teacher Lingnai. Hmph, if she doesn't object, I might agree to it, Mu-kun."

After saying that, she ran away with her face flushed, whether out of shame or for some other reason.

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

--------

At the entrance to Class 2-B, two beautiful girls peeked cautiously inside, as if searching for something. "Hinata, did you find her?"

Hinata Sakura, with her blonde hair, searched for a long time but couldn't find the person. She shook her head in frustration, "No... Hey, classmate, do you know where Mu-kun went?"

"Huh? You're looking for Xiaoxiao?" The one who was pulled away was Nishiki Chizuki. Although there were many rumors about Mu Xiaoxiao's womanizing ways, Chizuki spent very little time at school and was a transfer student, so the Sakura sisters didn't recognize him. When Chizuki saw these two unfamiliar girls looking for him, she pouted.

"You're asking me? I'm still looking for him. He must have been pulled away by Anri or Kasumi. They're the most eager. Is there something you need from Xiaoxiao? If it's important, I can call him over," Chizuka asked, waving her phone.

"No, it's nothing important." This girl is also one of Mu Jun's confidantes? She's also a very pretty girl. Sakura Saya felt inexplicably inferior and tugged at her sister's sleeve. "Sorry to bother you."

"Saya-nee, why are you pulling me?" Hinata Sakuramiya was confused as her sister dragged her away. "Didn't that girl say she could call Mu-kun out? But I didn't expect that just any girl would be connected to him."

In the past, Hinata Sakura would have definitely looked down on him, but... after what happened yesterday, even Hinata Sakura, apart from being a tsundere, couldn't be tough on Mu Xiaoxiao anymore.
