Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Sakura Natsumi cupped her cheeks in her hands, pretending to be terrified as she muttered something, but her eyes were full of smiles, showing that she was in a very good mood.

"That's right, Senior Xia Hai is indeed a pervert."

"Who? Huh... Dong Hua?" Seeing Matsubara Dong Hua appear outside the window, Sakura Natsumi looked down at herself, quickly covered herself with her robe, and rummaged through her drawers for clothes. "Why are you here again? Wait, what happened last night..."

“I already know. I was on the roof at the time,” Matsubara Touka said calmly, looking at her. “Xia Hai-senpai, how was it with the monster? Didn’t you find it disgusting?”

“Not at all,” Sakura Natsumi said unmoved, stretching out her legs, pulling up her clothes, and finally casually putting on her coat. She then tied her long hair into a high ponytail and smiled at Matsubara Touka.

“He looked terrified when he was threatened by Daisuke Momiji last time.”

Matsubara Toka narrowed his eyes.

"What a joke, you're comparing that Daisuke Momiji to Xiaoxiao?" Natsumi Sakuragami seemed to have transformed back into the dashing and sporty girl she used to be, calmly retorting, "Precisely because he's Xiaoxiao, I'm willing to do it."

“…For love, I understand. But Tentacle-kun is a monster, and you are human. Since you like him so much, why don’t you just become a monster? That way you’ll be the same kind. Do you want to try? I can help you.”

As she spoke, Matsubara Touka extended her tentacles.

“If Xiaoxiao cares about this, if he really doesn’t want me because of his monster identity, then I’m willing to transform into a monster for him,” Sakura Natsumi confronted the monster girl in front of her without fear, “but in the end he still came to me…”

Her cheeks flushed slightly. "So I think there's no need to do this anymore. Of course, if Xiaoxiao wants me to be like you, Dong Hua, I will not hesitate to become a monster. So, it was he who decided this, not you."

Sakura Natsumi shook her head and tossed her ponytail, tilting her head slightly to look at Matsubara Touka outside the window. Although Natsumi was all smiles, anyone could see the girl's aggressive and powerful aura.

This is her, Natsumi Sakuragami.

"Tch, you're quite the talker," Matsubara Touka thought, feeling somewhat annoyed. This was just a girl he could kill with a flick of his wrist... Matsubara Touka didn't know why he was so annoyed; perhaps it was because she was intentionally or unintentionally provoking him?

"Then congratulations to Senior Xia Hai for getting your wish. However, although your relationship with Tentacle-kun has developed rapidly, there are many times when an ordinary person like you can't help. In the future, Tentacle-kun will have a lot of new women around him. I hope you won't mind."

"You don't need to worry about that, Dong Hua. I'm not the kind of woman who makes trouble unnecessarily. If it helps Xiao Xiao, I will naturally support her wholeheartedly. But Dong Hua, you should pay more attention to your brother. If he keeps bothering me, I'll get annoyed too."

No sooner had he finished speaking than his mother's voice came from downstairs.

"Natsumi! It's already noon, aren't you up yet? Bong-il is here to see you~"

Sakura Natsumi and Matsubara Touka exchanged glances. The former chuckled and blinked innocently, while the latter's face darkened, and he wanted to curse out loud.

Blanch!

"Then I'll go downstairs. Dong Hua-chan, please make yourself at home too—"

I'm furious!

Songyuan Donghua jumped downstairs, wanting to ring the doorbell, but remembering that he still had things to do, he could only stomp his feet, glare at his brother with disappointment, and turn away dejectedly.

Upstairs, Sakura Natsumi made a victory sign with a bright smile, turned around, opened the door, and prepared to go downstairs, only to see her childhood friend standing at the door, raising her hand to knock.

Matsubara Hōichi awkwardly lowered his hand. "Natsumi, um, I came to see you..."

"Oh," Sakura Natsumi responded calmly. She took a step and her legs gave way, almost causing her to fall. She quickly grabbed the wall for support. Matsubara Hōichi, who was standing next to her, wanted to help her up, but was scared away by a look from the girl.

His hand froze in mid-air.

"Um, Xia Hai, are you not feeling well? Why don't you go back to your room and rest?"

"No, I'm just a little tired from last night," the girl blushed, her heart pounding as she thought of their passionate encounter the night before. "I just woke up, I'm going to wash up now."

"Oh, well, shall I wait for you in your room?"

“I’m sorry, this might not be appropriate,” Natsumi Sakuragami said, blocking his way and refusing him. “Hōichi, why don’t you go sit in the living room?”

"……it is good."

Before Matsubara Hōichi left, he smelled a strange odor. What was it?

He had a terrible feeling and returned to the living room with a heavy heart. When Sakura Natsumi finished washing up and came out, before she could even speak, she saw her childhood friend making a phone call to someone.

"Hey? Xiaoxiao, where did you go?"

"Oh, I need to go see Itsuki Shima. I have something to take care of. Natsumi, what's wrong?"

"No, I'm just a little... disappointed that I didn't see you."

"Who told you to sleep in so late? Cough cough, of course I can't blame you... I'll talk to you in detail when I get back tonight."

"Okay, then come home early tonight..."

Seeing his childhood friend making a shy phone call, Matsubara Hōichi felt his heart skip a beat when a strange boy's voice came from the other end of the phone. Xiao Xiao? Isn't he that monster?

Why can it speak?

Coming home early at night, so they're really living together?

"Xia Hai, who are you talking to on the phone? You're laughing so strangely."

Xia Hai's mother came over.

"Huh? Is my smile weird, Mom? You must be mistaken." Sakura Natsumi rolled her eyes at her mother.

"His laughter was strange, and his attitude was ambiguous," Xia Hai's mother said suspiciously, looking at her daughter. "His voice sounds like a boy? Who is it? Are you meeting him tonight?"

"Emmm, this..."

How can this be explained?

"Boy friend?"

"……Um."

Xia Hai's mother was just joking at first, but now that her daughter has actually admitted it, she's completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Xia Hai's shyly bowed head. Does she really have a boyfriend?!

And it's not even Bong Il-gun? Doesn't my daughter like Bong Il-gun?

My boyfriend actually has someone else?

"Who is it? It is..."

Wanting to press for more information, Natsumi's mother suddenly noticed Matsubara Hōichi's deathly expression in the living room. She cleared her throat awkwardly, sensing the awkward atmosphere, and quickly took out some snacks. "Um, Hōichi-kun, have some cookies first. Auntie made them."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between Matsubara Hōichi and her daughter, Natsumi's mother sighed. She realized that although her daughter didn't know why, she really didn't have romantic feelings for Hōichi.

My daughter seems to have fallen for another boy.

Chapter 034 Ceremony

"boom!"

He opened the door, got in, and slammed the door shut. Sitting in the driver's seat, Matsubara Touka had a sour face, making no attempt to hide it, completely displaying his emotions on his cute face.

His face practically screamed: I'm annoyed, don't bother me!

Mu Xiaoxiao wasn't intimidated by her aura. Instead, she took the initiative to provoke her. Leaning back in the seat, she rested her two tentacles on the back of the chair and raised her round little face. "What's wrong with you? You seem to be in a bad mood. Are you on your period? Seriously, you've turned into a tentacle monster and you still have your period?"

"###!!!"

Several crosses appeared on his forehead, and Songyuan Donghua snorted coldly, annoyed, "You're the one who just got your period!"

"Your simp brother went to see Xia Hai again?"

Licking the dog...

"Shut up!" Matsubara Touka's face darkened even more. After saying that, he turned around and said, "He often goes to see Sakura Natsumi?"

"That's why I call him a simp, tsk," Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, as if she felt sorry for the childhood sweethearts.

"What's the point of trying to win back a childhood sweetheart like this, now that they've become strangers?" Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head.

"How dare you say that? Wasn't it you, Tentacle-kun, who caused the rift in their relationship?" Matsubara Touka scoffed.

"Matsuhara-kun, how could you say that? It's clearly you targeting Natsumi and deliberately setting your brother up, isn't it?"

The two looked at each other. Matsubara Touka awkwardly touched her nose, turned away to avoid his strange gaze, and whispered, "How was I supposed to know that idiot Hōichi would actually develop feelings for Natsumi-senpai because of this? He used to think of her as a childhood friend, but now he's fallen for her or something—"

big head.

Logically speaking, in order to have my brother all to myself, what I should do now is kill that Sakura Natsumi, but... I glanced at the tentacle monster in the rearview mirror, who was playing with its phone with its tentacles dancing in the background.

She didn't want to provoke this terrible enemy; he had become even more terrifying in just one night.

Shaking his head, no longer thinking about this troublesome matter, Songyuan Donghua started the engine, turned the car around, and headed towards the headquarters of the Feishen Society. Mu Xiaoxiao sat in the back, swaying back and forth. Seeing her driving so erratically, she panicked.

"Hey! Are you alright? You look like a complete novice driver, not skilled at all!"

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if you get into a car accident, you won't die."

Songyuan Donghua hummed casually.

"...But our appearance will be exposed! It's daytime now!" Mu Xiaoxiao muttered, holding her head. "What if some demon hunter or hero appears and kills us? I don't want to be exposed now! You sensed the danger at school, right? Maybe..."

"It's so noisy!" This guy, how come I never realized he was so talkative before? He's so incessant, he'd be better off going back to being a mute, so quiet. "Just a few days ago I was a regular high school student, of course I couldn't drive. If you want to complain, you drive yourself!!"

"..."

Why are you yelling so loudly? I was just complaining a little, and you're already yelling at me.

Seeing Mu Xiaoxiao quiet down behind him, lying there looking aggrieved and not daring to speak loudly, Songyuan Donghua twitched the corner of her mouth. Her female intuition could still detect the threat emanating from him, but it was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

Despite possessing terrifying, monstrous, demon-king-like strength, why does he choose to be a goofball?

Ugh... Suddenly I kind of understand what Natsumi-senpai was thinking. She's right, this tentacle-like guy is indeed kind of cute.

"I heard you've gotten involved with that strange woman again? And then you dumped her on Itsuki Shima. Serves you right, now you can't even find a decent assistant. Itsuki Shima is beautiful and capable, don't you like her?"

"..."

"I've heard that you've already done it."

"..."

"Say something!"

"Didn't you tell me to shut up?" Mu Xiaoxiao, in her monstrous form, slumped back in her seat in a Ge You-style reclining position, opened the system and happily admired her newly revamped attributes and skills, saying, "As for Itsuki Shima, don't talk nonsense. I trust Miss Itsuki very much, which is why I entrusted her with the important task of monitoring Tomie."

Only ghosts believe you!

Seeing that he wouldn't tell the truth, and knowing that Mu Xiaoxiao also didn't trust him, Songyuan Donghua sighed and said nothing more.

The car came to a smooth stop in front of the organization's apartment building. The driver's side door opened, and Izuki Shima stepped out. The woman glanced at Kawakami Tomie, who was slowly getting out of the passenger seat, and her lips twitched.

As the back door opened, a pair of exquisite legs came into view first, followed by a reddish-brown bodycon skirt and a blazer. Her long hair flowed freely, with beautiful, deep red strands draped behind her. Her delicate and beautiful face was full of determination, yet it could not hide her pale complexion.

Reina was dressed very formally. Today was the day she joined the Himejinkai. She left Nishikino Hospital and followed Itsuki Shima to the organization's headquarters.

Everything went smoothly. The only unexpected thing was that Kawakami Tomie, right? This woman was someone even Izuki Shima couldn't handle. When she went to pick someone up from Nishikino Hospital, she went there and mocked the director's wife.
