Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"Don't underestimate Mu Jun just because he's young. He's very capable and special," Tsubakihara Mira said with a smile. She only met Mu Xiaoxiao because of Ogiwara Risa, and had had a lot of contact with him afterward. Mrs. Mira knew that this boy was very special.

However, the more she said that, the more annoyed Tsubakihara Yuuji became.

Seeing that Aunt Mila was still sick, he didn't know what to say.

Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao had already set off for the Chunyuan family according to the address, and was on the phone with Ruifei on the way.

"She called you? A little later than I expected."

"Consort Rui, have you seen Miss Mira's condition? How is it?"

"Medical tests couldn't detect anything abnormal in her body. It must be caused by supernatural forces. I can sense something strange about Ms. Tsubakihara, but I can't put it into words. After all, I only have a superficial understanding of this area and rely entirely on my instincts."

"That's enough. Ruifei, you're new humans now, with strong intuition. You should be able to detect those anomalies, so you must be right."

"Xiaoxiao, are you going to Miss Tsubakihara's place now?"

"Yeah, what's up? You're coming too?"

"I won't go over there, she definitely won't welcome me. I just wanted to say, tonight... do you want to come to my house? Maki misses you a little."

"Okay, I'll go over tonight. It's been a while since I've seen Maki."

……

At the entrance of the Tsubakihara family's villa, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't rush to ring the doorbell and go in. Instead, she stood at the door, resting her chin on her hand and making comments. "It really is a magnificent villa, but... Ruifei's feeling was right. It really is caused by supernatural forces."

"Something's not right about this house."

But here's the problem: if this is the Tsubakihara family home, why hasn't anything happened here before? Instead, it's only because Tsubakihara Mira met with me yesterday that I'm being affected today? It can't possibly be related to me, right?

brush--

Although it was daytime, Mu Xiaoxiao could still vaguely see a white shadow flash by on the second-floor window. His gaze sharpened, and just as he was wondering what that thing was, he suddenly looked towards the door.

Click——

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Mu?"

It seems they noticed Mu Xiaoxiao had been standing at the door for a long time, so they opened the door themselves.

Mu Xiaoxiao stared at the girl in front of her who looked somewhat like Miss Mira. She must be her daughter. They really did look alike. However, she wasn't the female lead in her mind, so Mu Xiaoxiao didn't care about them.

“Miss Mira is here, right? I’m Mu Xiaoxiao. Just call me by my name. Calling me ‘sir’ sounds weird. I’m just a high school student.” Mu Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched.

"You're just a high school student? Why does your mother seem to admire you so much? And what exactly is your relationship? Friends?" Tsubakihara Yuuji had countless questions in his mind, but standing behind the twin sisters, he ultimately remained silent.

Tsubakihara Yuna and Tsubakihara Jina also had many questions, but those questions froze the moment they saw Mu Xiaoxiao. The attractive charm and temperament of the boy in front of her made Tsubakihara Yuna swallow hard.

Even Tsubakihara Nina, who is usually meticulous and excels in both academics and sports, couldn't help but show a hint of amazement in her eyes. She had never met such a handsome boy before. Wait, could it be that her mother and him...?

It wasn't that she was overthinking things; it was just that this girl named Mu Xiaoxiao was too attractive to the opposite sex.

“Okay, Mu Xiaoxiao… classmate?” Tsubakihara Nina forced herself to calm down and took a deep breath. “Mom is upstairs, please come with me.”

Chapter 296 I'm so jealous of Risa!

As the older sister, Yuna Tsubakihara is actually quite introverted and a bit socially awkward, especially when she's out in public, including at school. But when she's with close friends, she becomes very lively, and she is right now.

Facing Mu Xiaoxiao, a complete stranger, Tsubakihara Yuna didn't say a word, hiding behind her, but she couldn't help glancing at the boy's figure, as if some magical force was drawing her gaze.

However, Mom is right. This boy is indeed very special. Even without much interaction, you get this feeling the moment you see him. That mysterious aura makes you feel all tingly.

No, no! What am I thinking? The person I like is Yuuji, my childhood friend who I grew up with. Can't he compare to someone I just met? Tsubakihara Yuna quickly shook her head, straightened her mind, and stopped looking at Mu Xiaoxiao.

Mu Xiaoxiao noticed the changes in the twin girls' expressions, but he didn't care. He only glanced at them a few more times because it was rare to see twin girls, and then focused his attention on the black-haired boy.

His name is... Tsubakihara Yuuji?

I don't know him, but he's very hostile towards me. Although he hides it well, it can't hide Mu Xiaoxiao's keen senses. Mu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and realized that her invincible charm does have the air of a male public enemy. Hmm, it's understandable that he hates me.

Thinking it over, she put those thoughts aside and began to examine the villa's decor. The seemingly simple decorations actually had a low-key luxury feel to them. Mu Xiaoxiao noticed that everything from the coffee table and desk to the sofa was definitely expensive.

But so what if it's a villa for the rich? If they encounter supernatural phenomena beyond their control, the outcome will be the same. Mu Xiaoxiao withdrew her gaze, a faint smile on her lips. She had sensed it from the moment she entered the house.

Ruifei's feeling was correct; Tsubakihara Mira had indeed been tainted by something bad.

It's different from the time with Nakiri Managi. Although she encountered the urban legend Sadako that time, the danger was not great, and she could hardly even detect it herself. After all, Sadako's purpose was only to spread fear. But in the Tsubakihara family's villa, the cold feeling was quite intense.

She's much more formidable than Sadako.

"So they can't sense it?" Mu Xiaoxiao glanced at the Tsubakihara sisters and Tsubakihara Yuuji without making a sound.

"Can you really cure Aunt Mira?" Tsubakihara Yuji was still a little skeptical. This guy looked like the kind of gigolo who was kept by someone, or a playboy. In any case, a man with such outstanding charm would definitely be very popular with girls.

Coupled with the relaxed, joking, and teasing manner with which Aunt Mira chatted with him earlier, Tsubakihara Yuji felt very uncomfortable, as if something of his had been stolen, which made him feel intense hostility towards Mu Xiaoxiao.

Well, although he hid it very well, and the Tsubakihara sisters didn't notice, Mu Xiaoxiao is no ordinary person. She sensed it before even entering the house.

"Maybe, but I can't guarantee it," Mu Xiaoxiao said casually. As for the hostility, he didn't care. He had experienced this kind of hostility many times at school. "I'll do my best."

Yuji Tsubakihara's brow furrowed even more deeply.

“Since it’s Mom’s decision, there shouldn’t be any problem.” Compared to Tsubakihara Yuuji, the twin sisters trusted this unfamiliar boy quite a bit, not only because of their mother, but also because of the boy’s special aura.

It made them instinctively feel that Mu Xiaoxiao was no ordinary person.

Although he seemed to be the same age as me... How did my mother meet him? I had this question in my mind, but now was not the time to be curious. My sick mother occupied my heart, so I could only suppress this curiosity deep in my heart for the time being.

On the second floor, she pushed open the door and entered the bedroom under the guidance of several young men and women. Mu Xiaoxiao did not look at the sickly beauty on the bed at first glance, but instead looked at the interior decoration of the room for a long time. The master bedroom was very large, and apart from the necessary furniture, there were only a few vases on the windowsill.

The large room seemed somewhat empty.

Perhaps it was because Tsubakihara Mira was often away on business trips? Mu Xiaoxiao didn't think about it too much, because he discovered that this room was the source of the anomaly. So far, Mu Xiaoxiao had seen quite a few supernatural beings.

There's the eerie Tomie, the magical urban legends, the existence of another world, and the perverted tentacle monster... emmmm, I'm not talking about himself. With Mu Xiaoxiao's abilities, she's becoming more and more sensitive to these things.

However... although she was aware of the existence of the extraordinary, Mu Xiaoxiao could not know exactly what it was. She could only vaguely sense that it posed no threat to her. However, as an ordinary person, Miss Tsubakihara could not compare with her, who had A-level attributes in strength, agility, and endurance.

As Mu Xiaoxiao pondered, her gaze fell upon the figure on the bed. She was wrapped in a thick quilt, and the woman on the pillow was facing her. Her once stunningly beautiful face was now pale and exuded a weak aura.

She's somewhat similar to the sickly beauty Rena from back then.

Upon seeing himself, he sent a smiley face, "Mu Jun, you're here?"

Mu Xiaozai carefully examined her for a while, then walked to the bedside. "Miss Mira, you don't look very well. You were so lively and energetic when I saw you yesterday, and you were so assertive when you argued with Ruifei. It's really unexpected that you're now bedridden."

"I didn't argue with Miss Nishikino, Mu-kun, don't talk nonsense," Tsubakihara Mira gave him a coquettish glare, but she was feeling dizzy and unwell all over, and even this small movement left her weak and listless.

"How is Mom doing now?" Tsubakihara Nina asked anxiously. "Is it treatable?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Mu Xiaoxiao nodded, "I have a general understanding of the situation. Miss Tsubakihara's health is a bit troublesome. As for whether it can be treated, I will have to try to find out."

At this point, he glanced at the young men and women beside him and said, "You should go out first. The following treatments and examinations involve my privacy, and it's not convenient for you to watch."

"no!"

Yuuji Tsubakibara jumped up instantly, his expression showing considerable anxiety. "How can I let you be alone with Aunt Mira? I'm worried—"

He didn't know why he was in such a hurry, but whenever he saw Mu Xiaoxiao or saw her chatting with Aunt Mila, he felt a sense of urgency. Now, hearing that they could be alone together, he was even more anxious.

Actually, the Tsubakihara sisters also felt that it was a bit strange for them to be alone together, but after all, this boy was a 'doctor', so this condition was not unreasonable. As for Yuji, why did he seem to have been stimulated, with such a big emotional fluctuation?

The two sisters exchanged a glance and noticed something was off about their childhood sweetheart.

“I understand,” Tsubakihara Mira nodded thoughtfully after hearing Mu Xiaoxiao’s words. “Nina, Yuna, and Yuji, you can go out. Mu-kun can stay here.”

"Aunt Mira! What's going on—"

"go out."

Tsubakihara Mira's expression was calm. Even though she was in an abnormal state due to illness, she was still terrifying when she was in full force. As expected, those who can make it in high society are not simple people. She has reached this point not because of her beauty and charm.

Upon hearing Aunt Mira's calm, unwavering voice, Tsubakihara Yuji shuddered and reluctantly shut his mouth.

"Yuji, Mom's health is more important. Let's go out."

"Don't disturb them here."

With the two girls half-pulling and half-dragging him, Tsubakihara Yuuji finally left with a reluctant expression. The moment the door closed, Tsubakihara Mira gave Mu Xiaoxiao an apologetic smile, "I'm very sorry, Mu-kun. I don't know why Yuuji felt hostile towards you. I hope you don't mind."

"Don't worry, he's just a boring ordinary person. I won't take him seriously. I've met plenty of people like him outside."

Mu Xiaoxiao genuinely didn't care, but her attitude of not taking Tsubakihara Yuji seriously made Tsubakihara Mira a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly, "Ordinary person? Isn't Mu-kun an ordinary person?"

"Ms. Mira, you should be more concerned about your health than who I am," Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled.

"So, what Ms. Nishikino said is true? My condition... is really because I've been possessed?" Tsubakihara Mira asked in surprise.

“Yes,” he said, not hiding anything as only Mu Xiaoxiao and Mira remained in the room. “These past few days have been quite something. We met one on New Year’s Day, and another one today… Tokyo is definitely getting more and more unsettled.”

Even with Tsubakihara Mira's composure, she was stunned for a while. "This—if it weren't for the abnormality in my body, I really wouldn't believe this... I've been to the shrine to pray before."

“The shrine can’t save you,” Mu Xiaoxiao circled around Mira, “but I can help you.”

Tsubakihara Mira became even more curious about the boy in front of her. Although she had met him because of Risa, all her subsequent interactions were due to her personal curiosity. Now, she had indeed discovered that Mu-kun had many secrets.

The more Mira explored, the more curious she became, and the more deeply she became engrossed.

"So, Mu Jun... how did I bump into those things?"

"While I can't guarantee it, it's highly likely that the source of the anomaly is in this villa, Miss Mira. I don't know exactly what it is yet, and what's strange is that only you, Miss Mira, have been affected, while your children haven't been affected at all. That's a bit odd."

Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. He was right before. Although he realized Miss Mira's abnormality, he couldn't guarantee whether she could be cured.

After all, Mu Xiaoxiao hadn't been able to find the source of the house's anomalies.

Unlike Sadako's case, which was simple and straightforward.

"It's in the house, there's something amiss... Mu-kun, I can only ask you for help now. Speaking of which, does Risa... know about this?"

"I know."

Risa Ogihara is one of our own people, how could she not know my secret?

“Risa actually knew…really, we’re such good friends, and she didn’t even tell me this,” Tsubakihara Mira complained for a moment before suddenly stopping, because the boy was standing next to her with his hand on her forehead.

Hmm, it wasn't a particularly sensitive area, just a very ordinary movement, yet it made Tsubakihara Mira's delicate body tremble. Seeing the boy standing so close to her, touching her, the beautiful young woman found herself as nervous as a little girl.

Not to mention Mu Jun's inherent charm, now that she knows his secret, Tsubakihara Mira is becoming increasingly unable to control her feelings.

Then, a warm light shone from the boy's hand, enveloping her head and body. A warm feeling flowed through her body. Mira's eyes widened as she witnessed this supernatural phenomenon.

Suddenly, most of her physical discomfort disappeared! Looking at the handsome young man beside her, she felt a pleasant scent emanating from him, and that inexplicable sense of security made Tsubakihara Mira's heart flutter, and an idea inexplicably arose in her mind.

Risa... I'm really envious of you...
