Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"Hmm, it's definitely not because of getting rich," Mu Xiaoxiao looked at her panel and let out a silly chuckle.

After leaving the underground research institute, Tsubakihara Nina's pretty face looked much better. Trying to calm the turmoil in her heart, she looked at the boy beside her with increasingly deep eyes. Even with her personality, she was extremely curious about the identity of this Mu Xiaoxiao.

"How was it? Weren't you scared?" Mu Xiaoxiao's smile was a little mischievous.

"A little... but it's much better now."

"It seems you have a good capacity for acceptance. Welcome to the mystical side, Nina-san. Congratulations on witnessing the true nature of this world—"

The mystical side? The true nature of the world—the girl seemed to be pondering this before finally unable to suppress her curiosity and asking, "Mu Jun, who... exactly are you?"

“I don’t have any special identity. If I had to say, emmmm, I’m just an outsider who doesn’t belong here,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with a smile. “As for the other secrets, Mira knows them all. You can ask her.”

"...My sister probably already knows, right?"

Wait, why did I ask that question? Tsubakihara Nina regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth. Mu Xiaoxiao seemed oblivious to her subtle feelings and shook her head to explain, "No... I haven't told her many things either. Anyway, if you're all curious, you can ask your mother. She'll know what to do."

With that, he returned to the ward.

"Xiaoxiao..."

Yuna Tsubakihara had already woken up, but when Mu Xiaoxiao and Jinna Tsubakihara came in, they found the girl curled up on the bed trembling, as if she was afraid of something, with Mira standing next to her with a concerned expression.

"Sister, wake up... What happened?" Rina rushed to Yuna's bedside, grabbed her hand, and found that her sister's hand was trembling uncontrollably. "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Yuna Tsubaki didn't say anything, she just kept shaking her head, trembling, her eyes fixed on Mu Xiaoxiao, her weak eyes filled with pleading and longing, as if she really wanted him.

Yuuji Tsubakihara, standing in the corner, looked extremely pale. "Yuna, I..."

"Don't come any closer!! Don't come any closer!!"

Seeing him walk towards her, Yuna Tsubaki reacted somewhat excessively and screamed loudly. It wasn't an act; it was genuine fear, real terror. Nina then realized that her sister was afraid of Yuji Tsubaki.

Yes, she was there too, and witnessed firsthand how he hurt her sister. It must have left an indelible mark on her sister's heart... Ha, it's ironic, considering how much her sister used to like him. They were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship was so close.

The result is now...

Nina glanced at Tsubakihara Yuuji, who had to stop and stood there helplessly. He probably hadn't expected his sister to react so strongly. It's a pity. If only he had known this earlier. Yuna's feelings went from initial affection to estrangement, indifference, and disgust, and now to fear.

How the wheel of fortune turns!

Yuna's terrified and fearful expression was like a knife stabbing into Tsubakihara Yuji's chest, making him almost suffocate. But when Mu Xiaoxiao walked over, Yuna eagerly grabbed her hand, her eyes full of dependence and intimacy. This contrast made his face contort in pain.

"Little one~~~"

She finally saw him, and her eyes were unwilling to leave him for even a second. Only when the boy came to her side did she feel safe, and the fear and apprehension she had just felt were dispelled by him.

Yuna gripped Mu Xiaoxiao's sleeve tightly, then held his large hand in her arms, unwilling to let go. Mu Xiaoxiao squatted down and saw the girl's panic. After encountering Tsubakihara Yuji's ferocity, only Mu Xiaoxiao could bring her a sense of security now.

Even a mother can't do that.

"She's alright now, she's in the hospital," Mu Xiaoxiao comforted her, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then placed her hand on Yuna's smooth forehead. A faint light gathered in her palm, and Tsubakihara Yuna felt a warm glow in her small hand.

Something flowed into my body, warm and hot... flowing freely inside me.

so comfortable...

His previously weak body gradually regained its strength, the pain and discomfort completely faded away, and the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. "Xiao Xiao? What is this?"

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now?" Mu Xiaoxiao was very confident in her healing power. She had used this ability to treat Mira last time. "It can be called a medical miracle."

"It's so amazing, I... um..."

Such an amazing ability! Little Xiao is so amazing! Yuna's happy expression lasted only a few seconds before she suddenly realized that if she recovered so quickly, wouldn't she miss out on Little Xiao's gentleness? This... this isn't good at all!

"Why are you treating me, you bad guy!!"

Mu Xiaoxiao: "???"

Chapter 330 Little One, I'm Afraid

At the entrance of the Tsubakihara house, Tsubakihara Yuuji, carrying a suitcase, glanced back at the 'home' he had lived in for nearly ten years. His face was ashen, knowing that he had been kicked out, and... there wasn't even anyone to see him off.

He knew that his relationship with the Tsubakihara family was now completely severed.

Only Tsubakihara Nina stood by the window upstairs, watching silently. As for Yuna and Mira, they had no regrets about his departure. Yuna, in particular, wished she could stay far away from him and avoid him at all costs. How could she possibly get close to him?

Nina didn't linger. She knew that Tsubakihara Yuuji could never go back to the past. She was just a little sad and wanted to commemorate those beautiful years. Tsubakihara Nina did not object to her mother's decision; on the contrary, she fully supported it.

Continuing to let him live at home would only hurt his sister.

The weathered figure of her childhood sweetheart gradually receded into the distance until it disappeared at the end of the road. Only then did Renna turn her gaze away. "I suddenly feel a little unaccustomed to it, Gasang. After all, he... has lived at home for so many years."

“There’s nothing we can do about it. You saw Yuna’s condition. She screams whenever she sees him,” Tsubakihara Mira said with a faint smile as she tidied the room. “However, even if Yuna hadn’t been so traumatized, I still wouldn’t have allowed him to stay. As for getting used to it, he’ll get used to it eventually.”

As Tsubakihara Mira picked up a new bed sheet, she said, "Besides, Xiao Xiao will be staying at home for the next few days. With him around, I feel a sense of security."

“Mu-kun…” Tsubakihara Nina agreed with her mother’s words. Compared to just hearing about it, she had personally witnessed those horrific scenes of Tomie in the hospital. To be honest, Tsubakihara Nina’s trauma was no less than her sister’s. It was indeed reassuring for Mu Xiaoxiao to live at home.

How is my sister now?

“Little Xiao’s power is very reliable,” Mira had personally experienced that healing ability. “Yuna’s body has recovered, but the psychological effects still need to be treated slowly. Otherwise, Xiao Xiao wouldn’t need to stay.”

Mira cupped her smooth, fair cheek in her hand, her expression strange. "Yuna wouldn't let Xiaoxiao leave no matter what, she clung to him like glue, really..."

Although Mom is complaining, she's probably actually very happy inside, isn't she? Tsubakihara Nina glanced sideways, because Mom would be very happy if Mu-kun stayed at home, and she's probably secretly smiling to herself right now.

Hmm, but Nina could only grumble to herself; she dared not say it aloud. Despite her mother's usual dignified demeanor, when it came to playing games, she was no match for her own mother.

"Alright, let Xiaoxiao stay in this bedroom then~"

There was no grand welcome ceremony that night. Yuna had just returned home and needed to rest, so after dinner, we chatted in the living room for a while before I helped Yuna back to her room to rest. Mu Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, lay in bed making a phone call.

"Xiaoxiao, you're moving in so fast! You're already living in someone else's house?" Mu Xiaoxiao could hear the playful voices of Ling Nai's daughters on the other end of the phone.

"Don't talk nonsense, cough cough, I'm just a normal friend to them, and they were also hurt badly by Tomie."

"Tomie... that woman really is harming people everywhere," Rena knew how terrible that woman was. Hearing that Tomie was causing trouble, she strongly supported Mu Xiaoxiao in helping her, but she also sighed inwardly. The cult was about to have a new member join again, most likely.

"Do I need to take a few days off?"

"Well, I'll leave it to Ms. Lingnai," Mu Xiaoxiao joked. "It's not just about taking leave; there might be a transfer student coming in a couple of days too."

"Transfer student?"

Mu Xiaoxiao got out of bed, walked to the window and looked out at the night sky, admiring the stars. "There's nothing I can do. She was bullied at school, and then... well, a lot happened. It was really terrible."

"Understood. If she transfers here, I'll pay more attention to her—"

"Uh, that's not what I meant."

Knock knock knock————

The sudden knocking interrupted Mu Xiaoxiao's phone call. He said a few words and hung up. He looked towards the door. It was around 23 p.m. Now. Would it be easy to cause misunderstanding if she came to see him at this late hour?

By the way, who's outside the door? Mira, or Yuna?

Standing outside the door was Yuna Tsubakihara. After taking a shower, she changed into a black nightgown. Whether it was intentional or not, the nightgown was visibly revealing, with a very low V-neck that almost exposed her long legs.

Yuna, whose clothes had just been exposed, was not unaware that there was something wrong with her attire, but she did not change her clothes. Instead, she tugged at the hem of her skirt, took several shy deep breaths, and finally resolutely knocked on the boy's door.

A lot happened today, which had a huge impact on Tsubakihara Yuna. However, with Mu Xiaoxiao by her side, her heart gradually calmed down. These past few days with Mu Xiaoxiao had made the girl's trust and dependence on him reach an exaggerated level.

"Xiaoxiao shouldn't be asleep yet, right?" Yuna's persistent pleading got him to stay overnight, but that wasn't enough. The girl tossed and turned in her bed, unable to sleep. Even when she closed her eyes, she could still see the miserable scene of Tsubakihara Yuuji choking her.

Only she could truly understand the despair she felt at that time, so...

creak —

"Yuna?"

Yuna Tsubakihara was wearing pajamas, holding a pillow in her arms. Her long, smooth orange hair was draped over her shoulders, exuding youthful energy while also being charming and beautiful. Her delicate, fair face was faintly visible in the darkness.

Under the faint moonlight, those clear eyes reflected light, gazing intently at her, making Mu Xiaoxiao vaguely feel that those bright eyes seemed to be telling a story.

"What are you doing—"

"Um, Xiaoxiao, I'm scared," Tsubakihara Yuna said shyly, lifting the pillow she was holding and burying her face in it. "I can't sleep alone, and when I close my eyes, nightmares come to mind."

"so……"

"Can I sleep with you? I won't be scared if I'm with Xiaoxiao," Tsubakihara Yuna said with a pitiful expression. Her pale face showed unease and anxiety, indicating that she was indeed very scared, but also somewhat expectant.

Because sleeping with Mu Xiaoxiao is something that even her mother has never done! Hmm, the fact that she, as the newcomer, could surpass her mother in this respect is quite exciting for Yuna.

Ugh, I feel like I'm a bad girl~

"Are you sure?" Mu Xiaoxiao was surprised by Tsubakihara Yuna's boldness. If she hadn't been able to see clearly in the dark, she would have mistaken the person in front of her for Mira instead of Yuna. This bold style was indeed unlike Tsubakihara Yuna.

The boy quickly realized that it wasn't a bold style, but rather that Yuna's psychological trauma was too great, and her fear overwhelmed her shame.

"Well, can't you?"

“…Okay,” I can’t refuse at a time like this, otherwise who knows if Yuna will be traumatized again? This is also to help her, sigh, there’s no other way. “Come in, it’s all your house anyway, you can sleep wherever you want.”

Mu Xiaoxiao joked, "I'm just a boarder."

Yuna Tsubaki entered the room with delight, but upon hearing this, she quickly shook her head, "Don't say that, Xiaoxiao, you are an important person to us... I heard from your mother that you don't have a home, so just treat this place as your own home, and you can stay here as long as you want."

A beautiful girl stood gracefully in front of Mu Xiaoxiao. The moonlight shone on her, making Yuna, who was wearing a thin nightgown, look even more alluring. Her milky white skin seemed to exude an ethereal quality, so delicate and tempting that it looked like it could be broken with a touch.

As she spoke, her pink lips parted, exhaling mist. Her black nightgown seemed somewhat sexy and alluring, with its V-neck revealing large expanses of her fair skin, making her incredibly eye-catching.

Mu Xiaoxiao's lips twitched.

But he didn't know that in Yuna's eyes, he was also exuding a unique hormone. His short-sleeved shirt and shorts made his strong muscles fall into the girl's eyes. His perfect figure was flawless, more exquisite and beautiful than a sculpture of human body art.

Those so-called model photoshoots pale in comparison to Xiaoxiao.

"Yuna?"

Oh no! She had been staring blankly. Startled awake, Tsubakihara Yuna quickly shook her head. "No, it's nothing."

She pursed her lips, carefully sat on the bed, arranged the pillows, and looked at the two pillows side by side at the head of the bed. Her cheeks flushed, her body felt hot, and her heart beat faster and faster. She lowered her eyes shyly and burrowed into the covers.

I immediately caught a whiff of his scent, as if I were enveloped by it.

Hmm, that's just my imagination. It's a brand new bed, where would the smell come from?

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, you should sleep too," Yuna Tsubakihara said softly, pulling the blanket up to cover half her face and blinking her big eyes.

"I'm not going to sleep that soon," Mu Xiaoxiao climbed onto the bed and sat on the edge of the bed. Although there was no direct contact, he could feel the girl's body stiffen for a moment.

Yuna was very nervous.

Lying in the same bed and under the same blanket with Xiao Xiao... this is so embarrassing. But when she realized that he was just sitting on the edge of the bed looking at his phone, Yuna's slightly stiff body gradually softened.

Her big eyes were also watery.
