Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't hide anything and told her about the new ability she had just evolved. After learning about the effect of the [Lover] ability, Ling Nai covered her mouth as expected, "No wonder, Xiaoxiao, you too, you should have told me sooner."

“However, wouldn’t that put even more pressure on you?” She immediately thought of this question. It was actually not too bad that a small amount of essence could transform their bodies, since it was a slow process.

But if you add this "lover" mechanism, things will be different. With that so-called "energy," these girls will have to absorb a lot of energy to become stronger. And with so many people, Xiao Xiao is going to be completely drained.

“I know, I expected that scene,” Mu Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead and glanced in the direction of the restaurant entrance, “They’re here now—”

A group of girls were eavesdropping by the door, giggling. "Xiaoxiao, we can hear you already!"

Anri Tsukasa pushed open the door and rushed in, followed closely by Natsumi and the others. Except for Sayu Ogihara, whose relationship with her hadn't reached that point yet, and Miko, who was rather shy, the others stared at her with shining eyes.

Even the serious and earnest female class monitor, Chizuru Shiina, would occasionally glance at her.

Mu Xiaoxiao knew that tonight he would most likely face another round of storms, but what could he do?

"If you can become stronger, and that's a benefit, then I'll grit my teeth and persevere," he said, spreading his hands. "After all, you're all my [lovers]~"

Sakura Natsumi grinned and hugged the boy she liked from behind, saying, "Hinako-neechan, please make some nourishing dishes tonight, thank you."

Hinako Inui poked her head out, blushing slightly, "Okay, no problem."

Mu Xiaoxiao did not refuse. Although it would be a little embarrassing, her health was more important than losing face. Tonight, it was really going to be big.

Chapter 340 The Evil Spirit Reappears?

During the morning reading session, Nishiki Chizuka glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao's empty seat, and the platinum-blonde special agent girl immediately raised her hand, "Report—Teacher Reina, may I ask why Mu Xiaoxiao is not at school?"

Rena glared at the girl who was deliberately acting strangely, "Don't you know perfectly well why he didn't come?"

"I don't know, Ms. Reina. I suggest we give this innocent truant a disciplinary warning!" Nishiki Chizuki said with a wink and a grin, while Shiki Anri, who was also sitting in the classroom, covered her mouth and chuckled.

Xiao Xiao didn't come to school today because Ling Nai gave him special permission. There was no other way; everyone was just too enthusiastic last night, pushing Xiao Xiao until the early hours of the morning. Ling Nai interviewed him just before dawn and saw how exhausted he was, so she let him rest for a day.

I was the one who took care of Xiaoxiao this morning. Although Anri has been away from the Kofukuji family for a while, she has been a maid for many years and even developed skills that appear on her character panel. In terms of taking care of people, Anri is no weaker than Tsubaki.

After all, Rurikawa Tsubaki was just a noble lady before.

"Alright, stop fooling around, get ready for class—"

Last night, Ling Nai did not join the lewd party. As a teacher, she still knew her limits and was not in a hurry. Emmm, mainly because her daughters were with her at the time, and she couldn't leave them to go find Xiao Xiao, so she had to give up.

After class, Anri and her friends gathered together. Japanese schools are full of small groups and cliques, with distinct groups like "normies," "otaku," and "gyaru." Anri was no exception, and compared to others, their "circle" was even closer and more united.

After all, we are family.

“It makes me angry just thinking about this. Why do I only have the [Cooking] skill?” Haruno Kasumi said angrily. “I was a top student with excellent grades, but now it seems like I can’t do anything except cook.”

"Didn't Xiaoxiao say that to have a skill, you have to be very good at that field? We're just high school students, so we don't need to worry about it. Besides, Kasumi, you have a master-level [Cooking] skill, which is amazing. Mine is just a beginner in cooking," Anri said angrily.

She was furious that her cooking skills, as a maid, were worse than those of Kasumi, an ordinary girl.

"Haha, I'm different. I have a lot of skills," Nishiki Chizuki, an agent, proudly raised her head. "Besides [firearms] and [hand combat], I also have the mystical side's [super reaction] and [super vision]. I never thought I had so many abilities!"

Super reaction and super vision are just Chizuka Nishiki's exaggerated observation and reaction abilities; otherwise, how could she dodge bullets? However, these skills cannot be upgraded, unlike ordinary abilities.

This might be the unique characteristic of mystical skills.

"Chizuka!" The arrogant Nishiki Chizuka not only attracted Haruno Kasumi's hatred, but even her good friend Anri gritted her teeth at her, feeling that Chizuka's smugness was really infuriating. "Hmph, don't be too smug, times have changed!"

“Now we can use this little bit of erotic energy to learn and improve our skills. It’s so much easier than you spending years learning. We’ll catch up with you in no time!” Si Cheng Xingli swayed her silver ponytail and smiled slyly.

"And you, Chizuka, my good friend, my good sister, if you can't keep up with Xiaoxiaose, no matter how good you are, you won't improve as fast as us, right?"

"Eh? Eh?"

Watching Anri and Chizuka making a ruckus, Sakura Natsumi couldn't stop laughing. "Although Chizuka is very capable, sometimes I feel like she's a bit silly... Speaking of which, Dong Hua, don't you mind?"

"what?"

"Everyone got a taste of Xiaoxiao yesterday, and now it's just you and Shayou. But Shayou is only doing it because she and Xiaoxiao haven't progressed to that stage yet. Dong Hua, you haven't done it with Xiaoxiao yet, so aren't you jealous?"

"Of course I'm jealous, but there's nothing I can do. He's just a kid. As for having sex with him, I don't want to give away my virginity in that kind of situation."

That's what she said, but Xia Hai looked intently at his former junior, his childhood friend, and asked, "Is that really true? Isn't it because you're bothered by your background?"

"What are you talking about? Why would I mind..." Matsubara Touka pursed his lips and turned his head away to cover up his embarrassment. "Besides, Ruomu-senpai's state is more interesting than mine."

Ruomu was also on the rooftop, sitting on a bench watching the girls playing around. Although the beautiful girl with long hair reaching her waist had a calm and composed smile on her face, Matsubara Touka noticed the occasional look of disappointment and confusion on her face.

It seems that Senior Ruomu is not as relaxed as she appears.

“Senior,” Sakura Natsumi also looked at her. The survivors of the invasion of the academy had gradually drifted apart, including Matsubara Hōichi. However, Tōhā had become increasingly close to her because of a small relationship.

And Ruomu, her senior, also maintained a good relationship with her.

But it was only on the surface. As Ruomu sat on the rooftop enjoying the breeze, the teasing and joking of those pretty girls gradually blurred in her eyes, and their voices faded into the distance. Their relationship was indeed good, but it was only superficial. Ruomu felt that she could not fit in with them.

No matter how good the relationship is, I can't really fit in with them. The reason is simple: compared to them, I am ultimately an outsider.

"Senior Ruomu————"

“Xia Hai, I’m not your senior anymore,” Ruo Mu looked up and met Xia Hai’s gaze as she sat down next to her, and smiled helplessly. “Just call me by my name. We’re good friends now, aren’t we?”

"Ruomu, are you still working out at the gym?" Xia Hai asked.

"Well, but I can't compare to you guys," Ruomu said. Although she didn't understand what Xingli and the others meant by energy and skills, she could tell that they had become stronger because of Mujun, and to be honest, she was really envious.

“Speaking of which, our apartment building also has a dedicated training ground and gym where everyone usually works out together. If you don’t mind, would you like to come along?” Xia Hai invited.

"Me? Would it be inappropriate for me to go?" Ruomu knew that place was basically off-limits to outsiders. Although Ruomu had a good relationship with them, she was still considered an outsider at the moment.

"It's okay, Xiao Xiao doesn't mind. In fact, if you want to join us directly, that's fine too, as long as you're willing."

Is this a disguised way of asking me to join Mu Jun's harem and become your companion? Xia Hai, you actually do this kind of thing? The long-haired beauty's face flushed slightly, and she was at a loss.

"It's okay if you don't want to. You can come to the gym to work out anytime you want, and with Chizuka's guidance, you can work out more effectively, right?"

"...Thank you, Xia Hai."

If Ruomu knew that Sakura Natsumi did this to help her and even took care of her feelings, she would agree. Ruomu was truly gentle and understanding. She neither agreed nor refused, but simply thanked her.

She was conflicted. Of course she was willing to join. All the girls and Mu Jun were very nice people. Even Dong Hua had returned to his original self. She really envied that kind of family relationship.

However, she was too embarrassed to say it aloud, because Mu Jun had never brought up this topic before, nor had he ever brought it up with her. She was too ashamed to be so bold...

The girl with the ponytail noticed Ruomu's inner turmoil and sighed, "Ruomu, you've become timid ever since that incident."

Timidity? Me?

Am I timid? Is that true? Yes, that's true. Thinking about her feelings and actions lately, Ruomu pursed her lips without responding. She also felt that she had become timid because—

I clearly like Mu Jun, and Xia Hai and the others probably noticed that, which is why they invited me. If it were before, I would definitely have openly admitted it and taken the initiative to make my move. That's how Xia Hai and the others see Ruo Mu.

But now, Ruomu hesitated, pressing her chest as she fell into deep thought.

She recognized her own heart and her own feelings. If Mu hadn't been the kind of slow-witted girl, nor the indecisive girl who was afraid to admit it, no girl could resist being attracted to a succubus-like guy like Mu Jun.

Besides, his help had already made her fall for him.

However… Ruo Mu smiled bitterly. The reason she was timid and hesitant was because of her inferiority complex. In front of Xia Hai and the others, her beauty was nothing to mention, and her swordsmanship was not particularly outstanding. She really had no advantages.

So she became insecure. The once confident and elegant senior became insecure, afraid to do anything, only daring to hide in a corner, secretly watching Mu Jun, watching their intimate moments, and tasting the bitterness alone.

"Wakamaku-san————"

When school ended, Ruomu was still thinking about these things in a daze, feeling conflicted and melancholy. She heard someone call her from behind and turned around to find that it was her classmate, Yotsuya Miko. She had long, flowing hair like Ruomu, and her golden eyes were somewhat aloof, but she had a girl-next-door vibe.

"Kiko?" She's also Mu Jun's lover, and Ruo Mu personally witnessed her transformation from an ordinary girl into a Mu Girl. When she first transferred to the school, this Yotsuya Kiko was just an ordinary girl who didn't talk much.

The changes are truly remarkable now. If Mu knew, it would be thanks to Mu Jun's influence.

“I’ve already heard from Xia Hai that if you want to train, you can join us. We’re good friends, aren’t we?” Jianzi said with a smile.

“My friend,” Ruomu didn’t deny it, but just smiled, “I remember when I first transferred here, you didn’t like to talk much, but now you actually take the initiative to invite me. You’ve really changed a lot.”

"Yes, really?" Yotsuya Miko said awkwardly, "Back then, we probably weren't very familiar with each other, but now we're all good friends."

Ruo Mu smiled but didn't speak, clearly unaware of the reason. Seeing that Zi Zi had become visibly more cheerful and less easily startled, it was definitely because of Mu Jun.

"I'm heading back to my apartment now. Ruomu-san, you can come with me... Ouch!"

Before she could finish speaking, Miko Yotsuya, who was standing at the intersection waiting for the traffic light, suddenly gasped. A sinister and eerie evil spirit had appeared on the other side of the road, its twisted limbs and hollow features startling her.

Ever since I slept with Xiaoxiao, I've evolved, and I've encountered fewer and fewer evil spirits. Now, those terrifying creatures almost never show up, avoiding me. So why...?

Chapter 341 Miko Yotsuya's Stylish Encounter

A pitch-black, alien monster stood beneath the billboard, its twisted and eerie posture quite terrifying. Its dark body exuded a sinister and ominous aura, as well as a kind of terrifying sense of oppression, making it imposing.

Jianzi's heart skipped a beat, and she was shaken. On one hand, she was naturally timid, and even though she had seen many evil spirits before, she still couldn't calm down in the face of such evil spirits and monsters. On the other hand, since she obtained her lover's essence and underwent a life evolution, she had never encountered an evil spirit again.

Just like Xiaoxiao, these monsters used to avoid her, so why are they appearing again now? This made her a little nervous.

As the red light turned green, Miko suppressed her inner panic and tried to remain calm. "Oh well, so be it. I'll just pretend I don't see them," she thought. Just like before, Miko and Wakaba stepped onto the zebra crossing.

The monster didn't move and remained standing there, which reassured Miko somewhat.

Just like before... As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that the girl next to her was walking unnaturally and her hands were trembling. Yotsuya Miko was startled and quickly looked up, only to see Wakamu looking in the direction of the evil spirit with a terrified expression.

Although she tried very hard to control herself, she still couldn't manage her expressions like Miko did; they were all written on her face!

Yotsuya Miko froze, then suddenly grabbed the girl's wrist. "Wakamo-kun?! You can see?"

Ruomu turned to meet her gaze, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment and fear. "Of course I can...see Zi, but what, what is that?"

"That, that's an evil spirit," Yotsuya Miko's mind was in a mess. This was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She was the only one who could see those evil spirits and monsters because she had special eyes.

【Yitani Mizi】

Skills: [Lover (Special)], [Yin Yang Eyes], [Basic Combat Skills (3/50)]

Energy: [5]

Even Xiao Xiao couldn't see the evil spirits, but now Ruo Mu can see them. How is that possible? Jian Zi felt that something was wrong. A monster that hadn't appeared for a long time had reappeared, and Ruo Mu could see it.

Why do I feel a little...

"ah------!!!"

Suddenly, screams rang out through the street, not from Jianzi and Ruomu, but from passersby. Several terrified passersby turned and ran frantically, shouting, "Monster—!!!"

Yotsuya Miko's pupils contracted, finally realizing what was wrong. That evil spirit was different now; it could interact with reality! So not only herself, but also Wakame could see it, and everyone else could see it too!

Monsters... have truly become reality!

"Run!!" Noticing that the evil monster wasn't chasing the screaming humans, but instead staring intently in their direction, Zi felt a chill run down her spine and a cold sensation wash over her. She knew she was being watched, so she grabbed Ruomu's hand and ran in another direction.

"Jianzi? It's chasing after us!" Ruomu didn't ask. She had seen tentacle monsters and terrifying beings from the mystical side. Compared to them, they were all terrifying. As for Jianzi, it's not surprising that Mu Jun's lover knew these things.
