Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Looking at Mu Xiaoxiao again, Lingnai was curious about Mu Xiaoxiao's reaction. Mu Xiaoxiao tasted a piece of steak. Although his expression was not as exaggerated as Qian Shu's, he paused for a moment and then started eating like crazy.

Managi Nakiri's cooking has won over everyone.

Chapter 285 Chizuka, you actually betrayed us?!

"Ms. Managi—"

Chizuka Nishiki wasn't very familiar with Managi Nakiri, or rather, apart from Shima Itsuki, Ms. Nakiri wasn't very familiar with anyone else, since she was a new member who had just joined the cult. However, Chizuka didn't seem awkward at all; instead, she waved and greeted him with practiced ease.

"Huh? Are you hiding from someone here?" The blonde girl tilted her head and asked curiously when she saw Nakiri Managi hiding behind the wall. Although Lady Nakiri was hiding well, she still couldn't hide herself in front of the sharp-eyed Chizuka.

Nakiri Managi, somewhat embarrassed at being discovered, stepped out and said, "Nishiki-san."

“Just call me Chizuka, we’re all friends,” Chizuka said with a smile, which made Nakiri Managi glance at her. This girl was about the same age as her daughter, which made Nakiri Managi feel a sense of goodwill towards her. Moreover, she had such a good personality, which made Nakiri Managi feel much closer to her.

"Okay, Chizuka, don't call me Miss anymore, just call me by my name," Nakiri Managi breathed a slight sigh of relief when she didn't see Mu Xiaoxiao. The person she was hiding from was actually Mu Xiaoxiao.

Yesterday's embarrassing events didn't stop there; last night she even had a shameful dream, causing Nakiri Managi to wake up and immediately wash her sheets and underwear. She was then consumed by shame and indignation, wondering how her body could react that way to Mu Jun at her age…

So much fluid came out, really.

What a shame!

Completely afraid to face Mu Xiaoxiao, yet also eager to know her reaction after tasting her cooking, Nakiri Managi felt strange for some reason. She really wanted Mu-kun to witness her culinary skills and wanted to make him a delicious meal.

Is it gratitude, or...?

"Then shall I call you Aunt Managi?" Chizuka's voice pulled the lady back to reality. Seeing Mrs. Nakiri's darkened face, Chizuka covered her mouth and chuckled. "Just kidding, just kidding. I'll call you Managi-nee like Reina does."

Hmph, that's more like it.

"Speaking of which, Managi-nee, your cooking is amazing! This is the first time I've ever tasted such delicious food. It's just a simple dish, but it's so delicious that I don't even know how to describe it."

When this topic came up, Chizuka talked non-stop. She's always been very lively and energetic. "It makes me not want to leave the cult, sigh..."

"If you like it, then so be it. Are you leaving?"

“Yes, I need to go back to Lycoris,” Nishiki Chizuka said without hiding her identity. Nakiri Managi was quite surprised when she learned that she was a special agent. “Oh, by the way, Managi-nee, Xiaoxiao told me that she will be giving you combat training from now on, and I will be your instructor. Don’t forget to come to the gym and training ground then!”

"Chizuka is really amazing," Nakiri Managi agreed without the slightest displeasure. Seeing the girl's vibrant energy reminded her of her own daughter, and she realized she really needed to find some time to go back home.

Now that the God Tongue problem has been solved, there's no need to keep hiding from them.

"What about Mu-kun...?" Nakiri Managi couldn't help but ask, "He ate the food I made, right? What was his reaction?"

"Xiaoxiao? Of course he's the same as me! You didn't see how ravenously he wolfed it down, Managi-nee..."

Hearing the girl's exaggerated description, Nakiri Managi finally smiled, feeling very good. She could almost picture Mu Xiaoxiao wolfing down her food. At this moment, she was completely satisfied.

After bidding farewell to Nakiri Managi, Nishiki Chitsuka left the cult and boarded the train alone, leaving Chiyoda Ward. All the way, she kept thinking, "Managi-neechan, could she have feelings for Koko?"

Chizuka is no longer the clueless romantic novice she once was. Having gone through so much with Mu Xiaoxiao, she can certainly notice Nakiri Managi's unusual behavior. Don't let her usual carefree and cheerful demeanor fool you; she's a very observant and perceptive girl.

"It seems that Managi-nee is also getting older... Oh well, with the examples of Reina-sensei and the others, it's not surprising." Nishiki Chizuka was too lazy to comment on Mu Xiaoxiao's charm or these aunties and ladies who were dating younger men.

I'm already used to it.

She even felt it was quite nice, like a big family, allowing Chizuka to feel the warmth of home. As a special agent trained by the agency, Chizuka was different from ordinary girls like Anri.

However, the main female characters like Anri, Natsumi, Kasumi, and even Chizuru and Akane wouldn't dwell on these things too much, having long since accepted the little bit of flirting.

"I'm back----"

Back at Lycoris Cafe, Nishiki Chizuka waved her right hand energetically. Inoue Takina, a beautiful girl with long, straight black hair dressed in a maid outfit, turned around and said unsurprised, "Chizuka."

His expression was calm, but his tone had a subtle fluctuation: "You've disappeared for several days again."

"Hahaha...that's not important, anyway, we don't have any work to do," Chizuka said, patting her chest aggressively. "Isn't it normal for high school girls to take a break during summer vacation?"

Then, changing the subject, she said, "It's been so long since I've seen Takina in her maid outfit, it's really beautiful!" Nishiki Chitsuka beamed, "If Koko saw it, he'd be absolutely smitten!"

"Little?"

"what--"

Chitsuka realized she had spoken out of turn and quickly covered her mouth, annoyed that she had been too lax these past few days and had actually let out Xiaoxiao's name. Facing Inoue Takina's sharp gaze, Chitsuka was trying to figure out how to get away with it when she was interrupted by the coffee shop manager.

“Chizuka, it’s not that you’re unemployed,” Mika, a black man who was the former commander of the DA and the manager of a coffee shop, and who was like Chizuka’s father, walked over. “Recently, there have been more and more cases in Tokyo, and the Metropolitan Police Department is overwhelmed. A lot of work has been handed over to the DA.”

"Huh? Is that so?"

Chizuka was surprised, and Takina was also drawn to the question, "Then why don't we have any missions? Aren't we strong enough to take on dangerous quests?"

Chizuka goes without saying; she's the strongest fighter in Lycoris. Her red uniform represents her strength as the top-ranked fighter. Inoue Takina is no weakling either; her dark blue uniform represents her strength as the second-ranked fighter.

“We were supposed to have a mission, but… some people above us have taken notice of us,” Mirado said, glancing at Chizuka Nishiki. “It’s strange that DirectAttack, which isn’t affiliated with any organization, still sold us to those nobles.”

If Mu Xiaoxiao were here, it wouldn't be surprising. Although DA is an independent organization, it still can't change anything in front of those nobles, and the country is still under the control of financial magnates and powerful figures.

Unless it's the US military stationed in Japan, well, that's like an emperor emeritus.

"Sold us to the nobles?"

Inoue Takina's hair was practically standing on end, and Chizuka beside her also showed anger, but she quickly realized something, her pupils contracted sharply, and then her eyes widened, revealing a bewildered expression, "Manager, which nobles are you talking about...?"

“I’ve never met them, I’ve only heard a few names: the Itsuki family, the Boyman family, and even nobles from Hokkaido. Chizuka, you seem to know something about them?”

Jinmu Qianshu: "..."

So it turns out the cult has put in its effort!

Inoue Takina's pupils contracted. She was still quite confused, but when she heard the familiar Poiman, she seemed to understand something. She looked at her companion with complicated eyes. Although they had been together for a long time, Chizuka now felt like a stranger.

After the shop manager left, she arranged to meet Chizuka in a secluded corner. The two girls met alone. Gazing at the pretty face of the blonde girl in front of her, Takina spoke in a cool voice, "The 'Xiao Xiao' you mentioned, is that the young master?"

Um... Takina guessed way too fast!

“Takina, you still call him young master. It seems you miss the time there,” Chizuka said with a smile, scratching her head.

“I know you’ve been with him these days, but… isn’t that cult, the Princess God Society, also related to him?” Takina wasn’t stupid; she quickly connected the seemingly subtle links between them.

Chizuka Nishiki shrank back and cautiously spoke, "The one who attacked us at night and took Kawakami Tomie from Tomie's request was you, young master."

Takina: "!!!"

Inoue Takina's head was about to explode. She had guessed there was a connection, but she never expected the truth to be like this. So, all this time, that despicable young master had been deceiving her all along? Damn it!!

“Takina, the Queen's Society isn't a cult, and Xiao Xiao isn't a bad person either,” Nishiki Chizuki said after hesitating for a long time. Takina's lips twitched at the mention of this.

"So, you already knew?"

"No, no, Xiaoxiao lied to me for a long time too. I... I only found out later, really! I even scolded him for a long time back then! So, Takina, um, don't be angry—"

When she said this, Qian Shu blushed a little because she wasn't thinking about how she would teach Mu Xiaoxiao a lesson, but rather how Xiaoxiao would teach her a lesson. She was worried that she might have been pinned to the ground and "taught a lesson" by Xiaoxiao for a long time this morning.

That feeling is still somewhat memorable.

Inoue Takina naturally couldn't make that connection, let alone imagine that Chizuka had transformed into Mu Xiaoxiao's shape. She remained silent for a moment, then asked, "You've already joined the Princess Goddess Association?"

“…Hmm,” Chizuka finally nodded in agreement without arguing, “I am now a member of the Himegami-kai.”

Takina had a sour face, feeling dizzy and with a buzzing sound in her ears. Her good friend and partner had inexplicably defected to the enemy? Well, even if the Himegami Society wasn't strictly an enemy, they had still made her request fail!

Chizuka, you actually betrayed us?!

"I want to settle accounts with the young master!!"

"Forget it, Takina, you can't beat the young master."

Even so, I will not give in!

"The store manager has already resigned himself to his fate; we no longer belong to DA."

"Chizuka, whose side are you on?"

Takina was annoyed, her chest heaving.

"Hehe, anyway, Xiaoxiao is a good person, Takina, you'll find out later. Besides, the Himejin Association is also very powerful. Wouldn't it be better if we all became family? Hehe."

"..."

Inoue Takina was on the verge of tears. "Chizuka, you traitor!"

Chapter 286 Reunion with an Old Friend?

Mu Xiaoxiao was unaware of what was happening at Chizuka's place, including the arrangements at Lycoris Cafe. However, she was aware that the nobles would take notice of the goddess, since Mu Xiaoxiao was also a member of the 'nobles'.

They're still wearing the Boiman family's disguise, and with the help of Itsuki Shima, Ogihara Risa, and Nishikino Mizuki, this originally unremarkable little cult is now becoming more and more noticeable.

"Actually, I wasn't much of a help," the elegant and graceful red-haired woman said as she walked beside Mu Xiaoxiao. This stunningly beautiful woman with a sexy beauty mark glanced at the boy beside her with spring in her eyes, and then subtly reached out and intertwined her fingers with his.

"The Nishikino family is only moderately wealthy and cannot be considered a prestigious family." Ever since that man became obsessed with Tomie and eventually went completely insane, all of the Nishikino family's assets naturally fell into Ruifei's hands. However, they were only wealthy; the Nishikino family could not be considered an aristocratic family.

Even so, Mu Xiaoxiao felt something was off. After her husband went mad, the married woman inherited all the property, and in the end, it all benefited her. Looking at the beautiful young woman's face full of affection, Mu Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her mouth.

I've seized other people's property, their wives, and even their daughters... I feel like I've become a terrible villain.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that the boy remained silent for a long time, as if he were in a daze, Nishikino Ruifei pinched his cheek to bring Mu Xiaoxiao back to her senses. The latter looked at the beautiful face so close to her and shook her head, "It doesn't matter. What I value is not the Nishikino family's wealth, but Ruifei's ability."

Mrs. Ruifei smiled, looking charming and happy. "You only value my abilities? You don't value me as a person?"

"Ahem, of course I also value you as a person, Consort Rui," Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes drifted, "or rather, I'm quite infatuated with your body~"

Nishikino Mizuki's pretty face flushed, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she glanced shyly at the beloved boy beside her, her heart leaping with joy, "Little one, do you like mature older sisters? Do you like... married women?"

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

Nishikino Mizuki didn't continue teasing him. Instead, she lowered her voice tenderly, "Actually, I feel the same way. Your small body also fascinates me."

Nishikino Mizuki was ultimately not as bold as Mrs. Risa and the others in saying such lewd things. This beautiful young woman was quite ashamed, but she still bravely said it. In Mrs. Mizuki's eyes, the affectionate light was intense and burning.

From the initial incident with Tomie to joining the Consort God Society, this Consort Rui had long been deeply in love with Mu Xiaoxiao, her heart filled with him and unable to accommodate anyone else.

However, while Xiao Xiao was good in every way, he was just too much of a flirt. The beautiful lady gazed at the boy's alluring face and sighed. She could tolerate his flirtatious nature, but... but her own daughter was too...

What kind of situation is this?

"Let's go get a coffee!"

Nishikino Mizuki held Mu Xiaoxiao's hand and walked towards a coffee shop not far away. The sexy and beautiful red-haired lady and the young and handsome boy walking hand in hand attracted a lot of attention.

Mrs. Ruifei gradually got used to this kind of gaze. She used to feel a little embarrassed, thinking that she was an old cow eating young grass, but now... she doesn't care anymore. Besides, after obtaining the little factor and evolving, she herself looks younger and more beautiful, belonging to the category of... young mature woman.

A combination of youthful beauty and mature allure makes her a natural beauty.

Therefore, when she is out, Mrs. Ruifei usually attracts the attention of many men, but she is somewhat annoyed by such attention.
