Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

"M...Makama-sensei?"

Girls screamed, boys watched the spectacle, and countless students rushed out to watch. Even some teachers looked on with strange expressions, unable to bear to look. Mu Xiaoxiao leaned against the window with a smile, glancing at the school and the students watching the commotion outside.

As for Mitsuro Fukama, he was utterly despondent. Having lost his younger brother and then being caught running around in front of so many people at school, he knew that his life was completely over.

“Mind control is quite useful,” Mu Xiaoxiao said with interest, watching the spectacle through the window. “It works perfectly on ordinary people, but… while it’s very convenient in my hands, it’s terrifying in the hands of the enemy.”

He had to consider the safety of Zero and the others.

Mu Xiaoxiao sighed heavily, "This world is becoming more and more dangerous."

clatter……

The soft footsteps drew his attention, and he turned around. "Sicheng? What's wrong? Do you think I'm too cruel? I was already being merciful by not killing him on the spot."

It would be better to kill him. Destroy his manhood, and with the X-run incident, that guy's life is over.

This is the cruelest form of torture.

But Saki Anri only felt relieved.

“I have no sympathy for him,” Sicheng Xingli shook her head, the white-haired beauty exhaled, her eyes turning cold, “That disgusting man wanted to... How could I pity him? Thank you, Mu Jun.”

While thanking him, she also glanced at the notebook in his hand, her eyes filled with fear and panic. This was the shadow left by Mitsuhiro Fukama. Anri Shikishiro could not forget the feeling of being hypnotized and controlled; it was too terrifying.

"Don't worry about it, this thing is useless against me. You saw it, didn't you?" He pointed out the window. "I have similar superpowers myself, so don't worry about me doing that kind of thing to you."

Similar superpowers...

Did he actually have this superpower?!

But what does that mean? Did he... misunderstand me?

“I…I didn’t mean that,” Si Chengxingli opened her pink lips and shook her head. “I believe you, Mu Xiaoxiao, you…are a good person.”

Well, another "friend zone" card.

Sicheng Xingli truly believed this. After experiencing all these things, Sicheng Xingli, who initially regarded Mu Xiaoxiao as a scumbag, had now changed her opinion of him. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have... Anyway, thank you!"

Bend down and bow.

When she lowered her head, a blush rose on her delicate face. She stole a glance at the mysterious yet reassuring young man, and a complex mix of emotions spread throughout her body.

I'm suddenly a little envious of Chizuka and Rurikawa-san...

Chapter 146 Childhood Sweethearts Grow Apart

"Oh?" Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed, and she looked at the silver-haired beauty standing in front of her with a mischievous smile, scrutinizing her curvaceous figure with a gaze as sharp as a tangible arrow. "If I remember correctly, Si Cheng thought I was a scumbag before, right? Why do you think I'm a good person now?"

Sakishige Anri was speechless. This stunningly beautiful girl who worked as a maid in the Kofukuji household, who was sharp-tongued, arrogant, and two-faced in front of Kofukuji Takaya, was now acting like a shy little girl in front of Mu Xiaoxiao, her voice soft and weak, "I just... misunderstood."

"Actually, it's not exactly a misunderstanding; I'm really not a good person."

Sicheng Xingli couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or serious. The girl's eyes, more exquisite and clear than amethysts, shone brightly with a serious expression. "If that's the case... then why did you save me?"

"Of course it's because I'm lusting after your body?" Mu Xiaoxiao stared intently into the girl's eyes, meeting her gaze, and said with a smile, "Like taking advantage of your vulnerability or something~"

"...Then why didn't you take the opportunity to attack me just now?" Si Cheng Xingli bit her soft lips, staring at him stubbornly.

Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless. Was this kid just being argumentative?

"Then why aren't you scared?" Mu Xiaoxiao stared at her wide-eyed. "Don't you hate it?"

"After all, you are my savior..." And she knew that Mu Xiaoxiao would not do anything to her. She couldn't quite put her finger on why. Was it because of the favoritism she felt from being saved by him? Or was it because of her trust in Qian Shu?

Perhaps, this is how Miss Rurikawa felt back then?

No wonder she fell for it. Just thinking about my state when I was hypnotized, about being played by that disgusting teacher, I thought my life might be ruined.

If it weren't for him...

Of course, although she thought that in her heart, she said aloud, "However, if Mu Jun really does something bad to me, I will tell Qian Shu! I will tell her that your boyfriend has ulterior motives towards your best friend!"

After saying that, Si Chengxingli winked playfully, like a charming fairy, and stared at Mu Xiaoxiao with a grin, her hands behind her back. "Mu-kun, you don't want to be questioned by Qian Shu, do you?"

Mu Xiaoxiao quickly raised her hands, "I was just joking with you. Actually, I saved you partly to avenge Ling Nai, and partly because I couldn't let such a dangerous thing be left out in the wild. I had no other intentions at all!"

However, this explanation only made Sicheng Xingli feel a little depressed. The white-haired beauty stared at him with complicated eyes, and the smile on her delicate face gradually faded. "I see."

The air suddenly turned cold.

Mu Xiaoxiao sensed something was off, so she tucked her notebook into her waistband. "Let's go, let's leave here... Si Cheng, be careful out there. This world... is very dangerous. If you run into any trouble, you can come to Qian Shu or me. After all, you're Qian Shu's friend. She... actually doesn't have many friends."

"……Um."

Are you a friend of Chizuka?

Sicheng Xingli kept her head down, her expression hidden in the shadows, and followed the boy out of the classroom. Only after he disappeared did she raise her head, revealing her stunningly beautiful yet slightly complicated expression.

She stood motionless at the entrance of the building and by the window, looking out through the glass. She didn't look at the perverted teacher on the playground who had caused a sensation among the entire school and attracted countless onlookers, but instead looked at the boy who was leaving quietly on the other side.

Sicheng Xingli remained motionless for a long time. Only after Mu Xiaoxiao's figure disappeared did she freeze, as if petrified. After a long while, she finally sighed softly and slowly went downstairs.

Taking her little leather shoes out of the shoe cabinet, Sicheng Xingli didn't stay at school any longer, nor did she look at the fate of that Fukama Mitsuro, who was bound to be expelled from school anyway.

"Xingli——"

Someone called her from behind, a familiar voice—it was Kofukuji Takaya. Shiki Anri didn't turn around, and Kofukuji Takaya, oblivious to her childhood friend's unusual behavior, remained silent. "You didn't see it just now, that Fukama-sensei was actually at school..."

"Takashi, you don't seem to know what that perverted teacher wanted to do to me," Shiki Anri glanced at her childhood friend, who had a gossipy look on her face, and casually replied, "Really?"

Huh? What's wrong with Anri today? She didn't get angry with me, but instead responded to my question. Could it be that she's interested in these gossips?

Upon closer inspection, Anri is quite beautiful, not much less so than Rurikawa. It's just that she's usually too cold and sarcastic. When Anri is quiet... she's a stunningly beautiful girl.

She also has an excellent figure.

Her delicate face and features, combined with her temperament and figure, make her breathtakingly beautiful.

Besides, she's my childhood friend whom I grew up with. Thinking about it this way, even if I lose Rurikawa, with Anri by my side, I'll still...

In his excitement, Kofukuji Takaya didn't notice that Shiki Anri's attitude towards him had softened, and she seemed indifferent. The Shiki Anri used to be so sarcastic and arrogant because she cared, but now... her mind was full of the things that happened today.

As for Kofukuji Ryuya? Shiki Anri gave a casual reply.

It feels like a lifetime ago—

She was hypnotized by a perverted teacher, rescued by Mu Jun, met the mysterious Mu Xiaoxiao, and encountered his many female confidantes... Unbeknownst to her, Xingli found that the whole world had become unfamiliar.

And Mu Jun...

If it had been Takashi who saved me back then, perhaps I wouldn't have been able to hide my true feelings anymore? But... it wasn't him, it was that womanizer who had a harem.

You're really useless, Ryūya. Miss Rurikawa didn't seize the opportunity last time, and it's the same this time... In the end, you can't do anything. As expected, you're still not as good as Mu-kun... Wait, why am I thinking this?

Longye is my childhood friend, and I've always had feelings for him. Why am I thinking about Mujun instead? I even feel that Longye isn't as good as him? Although that's true...

Sicheng Xingli reached out and touched her forehead. Her usually calm eyes trembled violently, and her heart was pounding erratically.

"Could it be that I... but..."

"Xingli? What's wrong?"

Hearing the voice, the girl turned her head and looked at her childhood sweetheart. But when she saw him, the image of Mu Xiaoxiao still lingered in her mind, whether it was the charm he exuded, his reminder to her in the classroom, or the scene of beating up Mikuro Fukama.

Sicheng Xingli even recalled overhearing lewd sounds near the toilet, and couldn't help but think of Mu Jun's unintentionally revealed perfect figure...

thump thump——

thump thump——

Si Chengxing pursed her cherry lips and covered her chest with her small hands. His charm was already irresistible to women, and with this incident, "This is... too unfair."

"Xingli?"

"It's nothing, I'll head back now."

Saki Anri took a deep breath and quickened her pace.

"Wait, I'll walk with you."

Kofukuji Takaya quickly followed, staring at his childhood friend's expressionless face. Anri hadn't spoken harshly to him today, but Kofukuji Takaya felt that Anri was getting further away from him.

Chapter 147 Anri? Why?

Xingfuji Long was also confused.

Since I got out of school yesterday, and all the way home, my childhood friend and part-time maid, Ms. Shiki Shiki, has not given me any trouble, nor has she been as sarcastic and critical as usual.

This did not make Kofukuji Ryūya happy; on the contrary, it made him uneasy.

He wasn't being cynical or insecure; he just felt that his childhood sweetheart had suddenly changed, and this change was because of him... which made him feel very insecure.

In addition, although Shiki Anri no longer spoke harshly to him, her words and actions exuded a sense of distance, as if she were talking to a stranger... This made Kofukuji Takaya feel heavy-hearted.

“That… Xingli…”

"Young Master, is there anything else?" Shiki Anri put the bento into her schoolbag, noticed that Kofukuji Takaya was still standing at the door, and looked up at him.

It's 7:30 in the morning, and she's about to go to school. Sicheng Xingli is still wearing her maid outfit and hasn't changed out of her uniform yet. But to be fair, this silver-haired girl's maid outfit is also very beautiful. Her alluring figure and perfect, delicate face make her an absolute beauty.

Kofukuji Ryūya was almost stunned.

Although Rurikawa Tsubaki was perfect, Anri wasn't much less so. Only now did he realize that his childhood friend, who was by his side, was the most important person to him. But... why? Noticing the distance in Anri's eyes, Kofukuji Takayuki felt a pang of heartache.

In the past, when she mocked and criticized him, at least Shiki Anri's emotions would fluctuate, but look at her now—her eyes are calm, and this indifferent attitude chills Kofukuji Takaya's heart.

"I... well... you seem a little strange today..."

He stammered.

"Is there any?"

"And you even brought a bento box," Kofukuji Takaya scratched his head and laughed awkwardly. "At first, I thought you prepared it for me."

“If you want, you can go to your mother,” said Anri Siji, whose family were all maids in the Kofukuji household. This was also the reason why she and Takaya were childhood friends. Unmoved by the implication in his words, Anri Siji said calmly.

Kofukuji Takaya opened his mouth, "Then... shall we go to school together later, Anri?"

“Excuse me, young master, I still need to go with my friends,” Si Cheng Xingli took a few steps back. “Also, I need to change my clothes, you should leave now.”

"..."

Kofukuji Takaya left the room with a gloomy face. He hesitated for a long time, but in the end, he picked up his schoolbag and left home alone with a helpless look. After he left, Shiki Anri, who had changed her clothes, slowly walked out of the room.

She wasn't dissatisfied or angry with Takaya; it's just that after everything they've been through, their childhood friendship has gradually faded. Now, Sakishige Anri's attitude towards him is just that of an ordinary maid to her young master, without any other feelings mixed in.

That's probably why Kofukuji Ryūya felt something was wrong.
