Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"what……"

Seeing the energetic girl's cheeks visibly flush, Mu Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her sleeve with interest and smiled, "I thought you, Chizuki, were so carefree that you wouldn't be shy at all, but I didn't expect..."

"Of course I get shy too," Nishiki Chizuka couldn't control her burning cheeks. She stiffly put down her teacup, unsure whether to leave or stand, and could only awkwardly look away.

"So you're just naturally dense?" Mu Xiaoxiao didn't continue the topic. "Judging from your appearance, you seem to be quite used to being a maid here."

"It's alright, much simpler than I expected. I'm just a little curious, there are so few people here. Apart from the maids, I don't see anyone else. Young master, aren't your family members here?"

"No, it's just me here," Mu Xiaoxiao smiled, seemingly unbothered by her prying into information. "If you get bored because there are so few people, why don't you go to school?"

"go to school?"

Qianshu was stunned.

“You’re still a student. Don’t be fooled by Chun’s appearance. She goes to school sometimes. It’s more lively there, and she has more opportunities to make friends.”

The main reason is that Chizuka Nishiki, as Lycoris's ace and strongest agent, has never experienced student life, not even for a single day.

Mu Xiaoxiao's suggestion appealed to the girl.

Even the usually energetic girl started stammering, "Going to school... is that something I can do?"

As a top-notch agent, she's not allowed to go to places like schools where she'd be in the public eye, as it would cause unforeseen complications. This is why she's both looking forward to it and not holding out much hope.

But the boy in front of me said he could go to school... so it should be fine, right? After all, he's a noble young master, very powerful. Even if he's been warned by his superiors, he'll still help, right?

"Why not? Chizuka, you are also eligible to go to school. With Reina's help, it's very simple to arrange for you to get into the school where she teaches."

Come to think of it, how did they all end up at that school?

"Not just you, Inoue Takina can come too."

"Mmm," Chizuka nodded repeatedly, her face full of gratitude, "Young Master, you're so kind, just like Miss Reina, you're both such good people~"

Mu Xiaoxiao's face was full of black lines.

"I'm not a good person, Chizuka. Nobles aren't as pure and innocent as you think. Noble young masters have a lot of dirty tricks up their sleeves."

But what does this noble young master have to do with me, Mu Xiaoxiao? Hehe.

Jinmu Qianshu stared blankly at Mu Xiaoxiao. These words reminded her that she had come to investigate a murder case, so how did she end up getting closer and closer to the young master... even if he wasn't a good person.

But would someone usually say something like that out loud?

Chizuka Nishiki was caught in a dilemma.

Chapter 087 Tomie Cannot Bear the Humiliation

"Takina, I heard you're tending to the flowers and potted plants in that garden with the maids? How's it going there?"

That evening, Chizuka Nishiki and Takina Inoue, the two little spies, huddled together and whispered about their experiences since arriving on the Boiman family's territory.

"Nothing was gained. The maids all seemed to be afraid of that young master. I didn't get any useful information."

"Eh?"

"Ok?"

The two agents, Lycoris and her partner, exchanged glances. Chizuka wiped her forehead. "Yes, I see... But it's normal not to get any information when you first arrive here. I haven't gotten any useful information either."

"Chizuka, you haven't forgotten about this and actually become a maid here, have you?" You were the one who wanted to come here to investigate!

"No, I'm just experiencing this new kind of life, like when we were in the coffee shop. I haven't forgotten my business either," Nishiki Chizuki explained, blushing. "I also asked the maids, and they seem to have a good impression of the young master."

"..."

Why do I feel like you're the one who has feelings for that young master?

"I'm telling the truth. I feel that the young master isn't a bad person, just like Miss Reina. Although he's a nobleman, he's very easygoing with me and even let me go to school. Takina, what do you say..."

"go to school?"

Just as Inoue Takina interrupted her friend in surprise and was about to ask further questions, her vibrating phone interrupted her. After the two answered, they were stunned for a moment, then quickly put on serious expressions.

"Got a mission?"

"How to do?"

"Let's sneak out, hopefully we won't get caught."

Regardless of whether she can go to school and experience campus life, she is now Lycoris's top agent and cannot give it all up.

"A woman named Tomie Kawakami? I understand..."

----------

Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao was enjoying a luxurious dinner at a restaurant when she was startled by a phone call. Upon hearing Izuki Shima's words, the Australian lobster in front of her suddenly lost its appeal.

"Tomie ran away?!"

“Master, I’m so sorry,” Izuki Shima said helplessly as he sat in the car. “I’ve been in contact with Mrs. Nishikino for a while now, so it’s not convenient to bring Tomie along. I never expected her to choose to run away.”

"I thought she was too immersed in a life of luxury and wouldn't leave, but I didn't expect... It seems the shadow cast by the cult leader on her is too deep for her to bear."

"You can't blame this on me? I didn't expect that."

Mu Xiaoxiao's face darkened.

“No,” Izuki Shima laughed. “Tomie seems to have received help from Mr. Nishikino. The hospital director also has his own circle and found people from special agencies to help him, so he was able to get out of my control. But for this reason, I am completely confident that I can win over Mrs. Nishikino.”

"Compared to Nishikino Mizuki, Kawakami Tomie is more important to me!!"

Yes, I mean evolution points.

"Don't worry, Mu-kun, I'll have someone put pressure on them and make them hand over Kawakami Tomie obediently—"

"You have this kind of ability, Yi Yue? To be honest, you wouldn't happen to be a noble lady, would you?"

"My Lord, guess?"

Guess my foot!

“I’ll personally take action and bring her back,” Mu Xiaoxiao casually tossed the Australian dragon aside, stood up, her black cloak fluttering with the tentacles, “The Boyman family will cooperate with you to put pressure on her, anyway, we can’t let Kawakami Tomie fall into the hands of others.”

"Yes."

Izuki Shima turned off his phone, staring intently at the night view outside the car window. After a long while, he sighed softly, "That woman is a truly terrifying existence. She will never indulge in carnal desires; she will only enjoy her own desires—"

Over this period of time, Izuki Shima has come to know Kawakami Tomie very well. It can be said that, apart from Mu Xiaoxiao, he is the second person who knows her best.

That's why she found it tricky.

That woman possessed a terrifying desire that no one in the world could match, so terrifying that even she trembled with fear. She was the real monster.

Izuki Shima once tried to drag Tomie into this mess, but she later realized that even if she were forced to have a relationship with the cult leader, Tomie would not become obsessed with lust.

Tomie Kawakami is that kind of person.

"However, this terrifying woman was actually driven to the brink of collapse by the cult leader..." Thinking of how she gritted her teeth and looked both hateful and fearful whenever she mentioned Mu Xiaoxiao, Izuki Shima couldn't help but laugh.

"Huh? The tracker has been detected?"

Izuki Shima wasn't surprised that the tracker she placed on Tomie would be discovered. She sent the coordinates of the last place the other person was last seen to Mu Xiaoxiao, and then scrolled through the contacts on her phone.

I found a number I hadn't contacted in a long time and dialed it.

"Miss, you're finally..."

"I'm not just calling to catch up; I need Grandpa's help with something—"

“That’s true, otherwise you wouldn’t have… I’ll go inform the master now.”

----------

In a booth at a Western restaurant, an elegant and beautiful woman with long, flowing black hair sat by the window. Her exquisitely beautiful face attracted the attention of the surrounding guests, even in such a high-end restaurant.

The male guests would occasionally glance at the beautiful woman with either subtle or bold looks. However, the black-haired woman, who had been like a goddess in a dream amidst the admiring gazes of those around her, suddenly changed her expression.

That stunningly beautiful face suddenly contorted into a terrifying grimace as she violently flung the steak off the plate.

"What the hell is this?! Is this supposed to be my steak? It's not even A5 grade, let alone Wagyu! You actually want Kawakami Tomie to eat this garbage beef?!"

The beautiful woman suddenly erupted into a hysterical scream, leaving everyone around her speechless. Even Mr. Nishikino, who was standing next to her, was somewhat taken aback. However, the composed man quickly waved his hand and said, "Bring up all your best beef."

"Tch," Kawakami Tomie sat down again with a displeased look on her face. Even as the waiter left, sweating profusely, she didn't change her expression. "My good mood has been ruined."

"Is this the person we're supposed to protect and take away?" The special agent girl Lycoris arrived just in time to see this scene. Nishiki Chizuka, who had changed out of her maid outfit, instantly transformed from a maid into a special agent, and her first impression of Kawakami Tomie immediately turned sour.

I have a very bad impression.

"She seems like an unreasonable woman."

"Unreasonable?" Kawakami Tomie seemed to hear their murmurs and suddenly turned her head like a ghost. "A woman as beautiful as me can make any unreasonable fuss seem perfectly reasonable."

very confident.

"Besides, that kind of terrible food ruins their reputation. Ha... You naive and ordinary girls are probably just jealous of my beauty."

Nishiki Chisuke's lips twitched violently.

How dare you say it.

This woman is pretty, but her personality is terrible! She's nowhere near as good as Ms. Rena. If we're talking about beautiful women, both inside and out, the red-haired woman who invited him on the street is the truly perfect woman.

This Kawakami Tomie is far inferior.

“Ms. Kawakami, we are special agents here to protect you. If you keep making such a scene, be careful that the… Himegami you mentioned might find out.”

Chizuki Nishiki was just saying it casually, but to her surprise, Tomie Kawakami shuddered violently, as if she could see the wickedly grinning Mu Xiaoxiao in black robes walking towards her step by step with a syringe in her hand.

Unable to bear the humiliation and already traumatized, Tomie swallowed hard and obediently shut her mouth.

Who exactly is this Consort Goddess? How could she scare this woman, who looks like she's going to cause a lot of trouble, like this?

Chapter 088: The Tentacle Monster vs. Lycoris?

This was the first time that Nishiki Chizuka and Inoue Takina had heard of the Hijinkai organization. The information they had received was naturally from the woman in front of them. However, according to their preliminary investigation, the Hijinkai was just an ordinary religious organization, and a rather inconspicuous one at that.

Moreover, no one knew what was so special about this arrogant and domineering woman that made them want to use Lycoris's trump card to bring her back. Chizuka was unaware of the inside story and simply accepted the mission obediently.

The same goes for Takina.

“Wait a minute,” Inoue Takina’s gaze swept over Tomie, not out of a sense of rejection for both of them being black-haired, straight-haired, but because she had noticed something. She then reached into Tomie’s LV bag and, before Tomie could react, pulled out a signal transmitter.

"This, what is this?"

"Location tracking device, Ms. Tomie. Someone has already planted something like this in your bag. It seems this place is no longer safe. We need to leave immediately!"
