Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"But judging from your expression, Eri, you've probably already accepted Mu-kun, right?" Tojo Nozomi changed the subject, unable to resist teasing her best friend. She was on the phone with Ayase Eri. "Have you ended the fact that he's an exchange student?"

Eli Ayase leaned against the window, staring at the dark night sky and the neon-lit, bustling city outside. "Pretty much... To be honest, I'm even afraid to go out late at night now. Why has the world become like this?"

She stared at the bustling city at night, feeling inexplicably afraid. She felt a little more at ease after closing the window, but only a little. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. The blonde mixed-race beauty suddenly thought of Mu Xiaoxiao, that handsome boy.

It's as if I only feel safe when he's around.

"Nozomi, who exactly is he?" Eli Ayase couldn't help but ask curiously. "He seems very mysterious."

"Eri...you're interested in Mu-kun?" Nozomi's voice on the other end of the phone was full of amusement. "This is definitely the first time Eri has ever been interested in a guy, right?"

"I'm just... just curious, aren't you curious too, Xi?" The blond pretty boy blushed and stomped his foot in rebuttal. "I think you two get along quite well, and your hobbies seem to be similar."

"That's true. I do have a good impression of Mu Jun. Mu Jun must have many secrets. Eri, if you want to know, you can ask the chairman. I think the chairman should know."

Ayase Eli on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then said with a hint of dejection, "Never mind, let's not cause trouble for the chairman."

“How can you say it’s causing trouble? As the student council president, it’s only right to discuss exchange student matters,” Nozomi Tojo began to persuade.

"...Let's talk about it later. Anyway, we'll be classmates in the future, and we'll find out about that guy's secret sooner or later. But compared to that, Nozomi, I'm more worried about something else," Ayase Eli glanced nervously at the night outside the window, "Do you think there might be monsters, ghosts, in Otonokizaka that we don't know about?"

Nozomi Tojo fell silent.

After a long while, the girl's soft voice finally came through, "Eri, how about we ask Mu-kun for help? Let's take a walk around the school and see what happens?"

You could tell that Nozomi's tone also carried a sense of guilt. Even Nozomi Tojo was afraid when faced with unknown monsters and supernatural beings. After Ayase Eli agreed, she hung up the phone. This earnest and responsible beautiful girl pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed softly.

"Hey."

"Big sister, come eat!" Ayase Arisa opened the door and poked her little head out. "What are you doing?"

“It’s nothing, Arisa,” Ayase Eli said, adopting the air of an older sister and giving her younger sister a stern warning, “Don’t go out at night for the next few days, understand?”

"???"

What's wrong with my sister? Why is she suddenly saying things like that?

I don't usually go out at night anyway.

Eli Ayase ignored her sister's question. After reminding her, she called Mu Xiaoxiao and invited her to visit Otonokizaka.

----------

The next evening, when Mu Xiaoxiao arrived at the gate of Otonokizaka Academy, Ayase Eli and Tojo Nozomi were already waiting at the entrance.

"Ayase Eli-san, you said you'd bring me to Otonokizaka, so here I am," Mu Xiaoxiao asked earnestly, "but why at night?"

Running to school so late at night, that doesn't seem right, does it?

"Eri, didn't you tell Mu-kun our purpose?" Tojo Nozomi asked in surprise.

How could she possibly ask him for help? As a proud and stubborn person, Ayase Eli couldn't bring herself to say it. She could only smile awkwardly and say, "It's all pretty much the same anyway, and he's here now, isn't he?"

Mu Xiaoxiao: ? ? ?

"Eri, you're still as tsundere as ever," Tojo Nozomi hugged her friend tightly, then grabbed Ayase Eli's groin with both hands, scaring her so much that she looked like she was about to puff out smoke.

"Xi! What are you doing? Stop it!"

Mu Xiaoxiao glanced sideways at him, thinking, "As expected of the lewd old man, Tojo Nozomi, is this someone I can watch?"

"So, you invited me here not to show me around the school?"

"Part of the reason is that I want to show you around Otonokizaka, and another part is that Eri and I are worried that there might be something ominous in the school, so we wanted to ask you to come and take a look. It would be even better if you could help with the exorcism."

Tojo Nozomi released Ayase Eli, walked up to Mu Xiaoxiao, leaned forward, and smiled.

From this pose, you can see her ample bosom; she has a great figure.

Mu Xiaoxiao quickly looked away. "Oh, so that's what it is. You should have said so earlier. Cough cough, no problem, I can help with this little thing."

Tojo Nozomi blinked, looked down and couldn't see her toes, and immediately realized what was going on. Her cheeks flushed and she quickly stood up straight. But when she caught a glimpse of Mu Xiaoxiao looking around, she found it funny and couldn't help but want to tease her.

“Nozomi and I are members of the student council, so naturally we have to be responsible for the students of Otonokizaka, which is why…” Ayase Eli began, slightly awkwardly, “that’s why I asked you for help.”

"It seems that President Ayase Eli is a very responsible and dedicated president. She does everything herself and probably rarely asks others for help," Mu Xiaoxiao joked. "She's really amazing."

Ayase Eli kept a straight face, but felt a little embarrassed inside. "Even if you praise me, I won't give you any special privileges."

"No, no, no, I don't care about any special privileges. I'm just thinking, President Ayase seems so strong and rigid on the surface, but her heart seems to be different. Isn't that tiring? Ayase Eli, you can't face your own heart honestly. You must be very tired."

Tojo Nozomi's mouth dropped open. What was going on? Mu-kun had only met Eri twice, so how could he see through her so accurately? As expected, espers are extraordinary; they're terrifying!

Looking at her friend, whose face was already flushed red, she realized that Eri was furious and embarrassed!

"What nonsense are you spouting! What do you mean by facing my own conscience? I've always—"

Before she could finish speaking, a strange white shadow suddenly flashed past her eyes. The flickering will-o'-the-wisp was incredibly conspicuous in the darkness, not only interrupting the girl's words but also sending shivers down her spine. "Aaaaaaahh ...

"monster!!!"

She was so frightened that she shuddered and instinctively grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao's arm, resting her head on his shoulder, trembling.

Then, the will-o'-the-wisp transformed into the form of a house spirit.

The school gate of Otonokizaka fell silent for a moment.

Mu Xiaoxiao felt the girl's body and spread her hands, "See, if you're scared, just say it honestly. Why pretend? No one will laugh at you if you expose yourself."

Eli Ayase is really getting desperate now.

"Mu Xiaoxiao!!!"

Chapter 389 The Student Council President Who's Being Controlled

Of course, Eli Ayase was afraid. Putting aside the monsters that instilled fear in people's hearts, Eli would feel fear even if it was just the darkness itself. Nozomi Tojo knew her friend very well.

Eri is a girl who is afraid of the dark. Despite her serious and calm demeanor, she is even afraid to go to haunted houses.

That's why Nozomi Tojo sighed when she heard that Ayase Eli was going to investigate Otonokizaka at night, saying that Eli took the responsibility of student council president too seriously.

Tojo watched as Eri, who was walking ahead with feigned composure, swayed her blonde ponytail. Despite her obvious fear, she pretended to be calm. Tojo quietly approached Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "Mu-kun, don't be fooled by Eri's calm demeanor. It's all an act."

"Eri doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of you. Just between you and me, Eri is terrified of the dark. She's probably trembling with fear right now."

“I can see that the student council president is surprisingly different. But aren’t you her friend? Why do I feel like you’re gloating a little? Vice President,” Mu Xiaoxiao said, finding Tojo Hiroko’s attitude strange.

"Don't you find it interesting how scared Eri looks?" Tojo Nozomi didn't hide her thoughts at all. "It's rare for someone to make her break down, even I can't do it, and it's a boy too. But I also believe that you, Mu-kun, will protect Eri's safety and won't let anything happen to her, right?"

As Nozomi Tojo spoke, she tilted her head and winked playfully at Xiaoxiao Mu.

She seems to trust me a lot. Maybe Ayase Eli is right. I think I get along very well with Tojo Nozomi.

Mu Xiaoxiao shrugged. "You're wrong. It's not just the student council president, but also you, the vice president. Did you forget about yourself?"

"Oh my, are you going to protect me, Mu-kun? It really makes me feel safe," Tojo Nozomi's smile grew brighter, with a hint of ambiguity, as she moved closer. "Could it be that you're interested in a girl like me, Mu-kun? Even though Eri is much prettier."

“I think a girl like the vice president is also very charming,” Mu Xiaoxiao praised, smiling broadly, “like a mother who protects everyone.”

Tojo Nozomi couldn't keep her composure for a moment, her lips twitching wildly. "Mu-kun is unexpectedly wicked. 'Mom' and such... isn't a good word to describe her."

The two of them got more and more engrossed in their conversation, which made Ayase Eli, who was walking alone ahead, feel a chill run down her spine. She gritted her teeth, turned around fiercely, and said, "Can you guys hurry up and catch up? We're here to investigate the school, not to chat!"

Don't leave me here alone and start chatting on your own!

Mu Xiaoxiao and Tojo Nozomi exchanged a glance, smiled, and quickened their pace to catch up. "Isn't this the school you're familiar with? President Ayase, are you really afraid of your own school?"

"I, of course I'm not afraid. I just think you guys are dragging your feet and wasting too much time!"

“Eri, you should stay with Koko. It could be dangerous if a monster suddenly appears out of nowhere,” Nozomi Tojo advised.

"..."

Although she was a little unwilling, Eli Ayase bit her lip and slowed down a few steps. Only after standing side by side with Mu Xiaoxiao was her tense nerves able to relax a bit. To be honest, Otonokizaka Academy felt a little unfamiliar late at night, which made her, the student council president, feel a little uncomfortable.

What if a monster really jumps out? Never mind... In the end, she gave in.

However, you absolutely cannot admit it verbally.

"Actually, this is my first time visiting an all-girls school," Mu Xiaoxiao said, no longer teasing the other person. Instead, she looked around at the scenery of Otonokizaka Academy. Although it was night, the cherry blossoms that were about to bloom, the stone path under her feet, and the Japanese-style buildings and teaching buildings all interested Mu Xiaoxiao.

"That should be the teaching building. What about over there? What's that place?"

"That's the school's main auditorium, where club performances, school festivals, and so on are held," Nozomi Tojo introduced with a smile. "That's the cafeteria over there, and there are also some animals kept in the back. What do you think? It's a pretty good school, isn't it?"

"Yes, it's a very beautiful school, I like it very much."

Hearing Mu Xiaoxiao's sincere praise, Ayase Eli glanced at him in the darkness, said nothing, but the expression on her beautiful face softened slightly, becoming somewhat complicated, "It's a pity, such a good school, and I have to..."

"I'm still here, aren't I? Don't forget, my other purpose as an exchange student is to help Otonokizaka come back to life," Mu Xiaoxiao patted Ayase Eli's shoulder. "I only have one problem now: since this is an all-girls school, there should only be girls' restrooms, right? How am I supposed to go to the restroom?"

He stroked his chin seriously, pondering this profound question, "Am I supposed to share this with a girl?"

"How can it be!!"

The student council president was furious. "Why don't you just use the restroom in the teachers' office? Honestly, why ask such absurd questions?"

It made me feel completely relaxed.

"Besides the toilets, there are also physical education classes. I don't have a separate changing room, and there are swimming lessons... Ugh, I feel like going to an all-girls school isn't that convenient. It's a headache."

You said you had a headache, but judging from your expression, it wasn't bothering you at all; you seemed quite happy.

He was clearly secretly pleased.

This hateful guy.

After the two girls led Mu Xiaoxiao around Otonokizaka, familiarizing her with the campus, and then returned to the school gate, Ayase Elito was bewildered. "Weren't we here to investigate the school monster? Why are we back? We were just taking a walk."

"It's safe. We haven't found any trace of monsters yet," Mu Xiaoxiao said, touching her hair. "Isn't that a good thing?"

He was telling the truth; he indeed did not find any evil spirits.

"That being said..." After exploring the school late at night and finding nothing, Eri felt like she had wasted her time.

“Eri, just think of it as helping the new students get to know the school,” Tojo Nozomi said, pulling her friend’s hand. “It’s also part of our student council’s job.”

"Too."

Ayase Eli looked up. "Since there are no monsters in the school, does that mean Otonokizaka is safe?"

"Yes, at least for the time being, there is no danger."

"For now..."

"Don't worry. Since I'm an exchange student, I'll pay attention to school safety in the future. Ayase Eli, although you're a responsible student council president, it's hard to shoulder everything yourself. Deep down, you don't want to be this tired, do you?"

"What did you say? I'm the student council president, this is my responsibility!"
