Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

She told Ryuya that she was going to school with her friends, but in the end, Shiki Shiki walked alone on the noisy road with her schoolbag on her shoulder. She stood at the intersection facing the traffic lights, her beautiful face expressionless, and her whole body exuded an aura that kept strangers away.

As they approached the school gate, Si Chengxingli's eyes lit up, her icy expression melted, and she smiled and waved.

"Xingli——"

Jinmu Qianshu waved cheerfully, Mu Xiaoxiao followed behind her, and Sicheng Xingli also smiled and waved, but it was unclear whether her gaze was fixed on Qianshu or Mu Xiaoxiao, and for whom her smile was blooming.

"Good morning~~"

"Good morning, Chizuka," Shiki Anri quickly scanned Mu Xiaoxiao's face, "and... Mu-kun."

"Are you alright yesterday? I heard from Reina that the chaos caused by that perverted teacher yesterday was related to you, Anri. Were you in any danger?" Chizuka Nishiki was very concerned about her friend.

"No," Si Chengxingli felt a warmth in her heart. She glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao again and found him staring at her with a half-smile. She quickly looked away, her cheeks feeling a little hot. She didn't know why, but the usually sharp-tongued and arrogant white-haired girl couldn't be arrogant in front of Mu Xiaoxiao.

Was it because he saved me?

“Mu Jun saved me, I’m fine,” Si Cheng Xingli said, then asked curiously, “How is that Fukama Mitsuro now…?”

"I heard he was expelled from school. Expulsion is nothing, Xiao Xiao will use the power of the Boyman family to make him disappear without anyone noticing."

Nishiki Chizuka said the terrifying thing with a grin, and then looked at Mu Xiaoxiao together with Anri.

Just as Sicheng Xingli was thinking something, before she could even open her mouth, she heard Mu Xiaoxiao casually say, "I think you don't need my help. Isn't Sicheng from the Xingfu Temple family? That's a powerful and prestigious family. They'll handle it, right?"

It was just a casual remark, but Si Chengxingli's face darkened upon hearing it.

The look in Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes was not good; there was anger, helplessness, resentment, anxiety, and a trace of sadness. "I am not a member of the Xingfu Temple family."

"Forehead?"

“I’m just a maid there,” Si Chengxingli glared at him and began her sharp tongue. “But you, Mu Jun, you really do have a special relationship with Teacher Ling Nai. It’s one thing to have a harem, but a student actually getting together with a teacher. And Teacher Ling Nai is our homeroom teacher, huh.”

No, why did you suddenly turn against me?

“Anri, Xiaoxiao and Reina-sensei have known each other for a long time,” Nishiki Chizuka patiently explained, unaware of her best friend’s unusual behavior. “It’s not what you think.”

"I know, it's just that I don't like looking at it."

After finishing speaking, Shiki Anri deliberately ignored him, "Let's have lunch together, Chizuka, I brought a bento box today."

“Okay, Xiaoxiao, do you want to come with us?” Qian Shu grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao’s arm.

"I didn't bring a lunchbox."

"Didn't I make some for you, Chun? Why didn't you bring it?"

"I hate eating cold food, I want to eat in the cafeteria," Mu Xiaoxiao protested.

"No, you have to come with us at noon. Two beautiful girls will be with you; you should be happy."

"Tch, Chizuka, do you think I care... Ouch, stop pinching me!"

Seeing the two of them playfully fighting, Sicheng Xingli stood to the side with eyes full of envy. Mu Xiaoxiao... has so many girls around him, Chizuka, Ms. Rurikawa, and now there's also Teacher Lingna.

Really...

However, she didn't mind having lunch together with Chizuka; in fact, she was quite happy. But when she heard Mu Xiaoxiao say that she didn't like bento boxes, she felt a little anxious.

She usually buys bread for lunch, but today she brought a bento box. Moreover, this bento box was not made by her mother. She did not tell Kofukuji Takaya the truth; it was a meal she made herself.

Despite being pestered by Qian Shu, Mu Xiaoxiao finally agreed.

The three walked into the classroom side by side. Kofukuji Takashi, who had arrived at school early, was sitting in his seat when he saw this scene. He saw his childhood friend walking with Mu Xiaoxiao and the two chatting and exchanging pleasantries with natural expressions.

He even saw a hint of a smile on his childhood sweetheart's face, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Xingli..."

"Why……"

Chapter 148 Want to try my bento?

Xingli, why is she with Mu Xiaoxiao?

They probably never interact or have any contact with each other, right? Why are they walking together, chatting and laughing...?

During class, Kofukuji Takaya sat absentmindedly in his chair, his mind already wandering to his childhood friend, his gaze occasionally drifting towards her, completely oblivious to the lesson being taught by Reina-sensei.

Why, Anri...?

He stared intently at Sicheng Xingli's graceful back. If Miss Liulichuan's departure made him feel resentful and distressed, then the intimate posture between his childhood sweetheart and that other person made him feel angry and desperate.

Maybe, maybe I've misunderstood? Anri is good friends with Nishiki Chizuka, which is why she has contact with Mu Xiaoxiao... With so many women around him, Anri probably wouldn't be interested in him.

That's right, that's it.

Lost in his own thoughts, Kofukuji Takaya was unaware that Shiki Anri, who was being watched by him, was also experiencing some confusion.

She didn't peek at Mu Xiaoxiao, at least on the surface she still maintained a serious attitude towards the lesson, but her thoughts... mainly came from knowing the special relationship between Teacher Lingnai and Mu Xiaoxiao, making it difficult for her to look at this extremely popular and beautiful teacher with the same eyes as before.

Reina-sensei is indeed very beautiful.

After glancing at Rena's figure, looks, and demeanor, Shiki Anri felt a little inferior. She couldn't believe that such feelings of inferiority would arise in herself, but... it was true. Miss Rurikawa, Rena-sensei, and Haruno Kasumi and Sakuragami Natsumi, whom she had met in PE class before.

Each of them is quite charming.

That Mu Xiaoxiao... she really knows how to have two women on her arms.

Someone like him probably wouldn't even look at me... Wait, why should I care about this kind of thing? Besides, even in terms of charm, I'm no less attractive than Chizuka and the others.

Reina, with her striking red hair, was giving a lecture and was speechless. Anri Tsukasa was lost in thought. Takashiro was staring at her intently. And don't think I didn't see it, Koko, what are you doing under the table with Chizuka?!

Sigh... but they're our own people, so there's not much we can say.

As for Sicheng Xingli, she had figured it out. It was a young person's love problem. Since it wasn't good to use Mu Xiaoxiao as a scapegoat, she could only find someone else. Teacher Lingna made no attempt to hide her favoritism. "Xingfuji, pay attention in class. What are you staring at Sicheng for?"

The surrounding students were stunned for a moment, then burst into snickers, causing Kofukuji Ryuya's face to turn red.

Sakishige Anri's expression was unpleasant.

"And you, Sicheng, stop daydreaming. Deal with any problems after class."

"..."

Saki Anri's face turned even uglier. She didn't say anything or refute anything. She silently opened her book. When get out of class ended, she still hadn't gone to cause trouble for Kofukuji Ryuya. Instead, the latter took the initiative to come to her.

"Xingli, you..."

"Didn't I say not to get involved with me at school?" Si Cheng Xingli was getting increasingly impatient with her childhood friend. "What was going on with you in class just now?"

“I’m just a little concerned,” sighed Kofukuji Takaya. “This morning, I saw you walking with that Mu Xiaoxiao…”

"and then?"

Then?

Kofukuji Takaya panicked, "That guy is dangerous. Anri, you know he has so many women around him; he's just a playboy who manipulates girls. I'm afraid you'll end up with him too..."

"You're worried I'll be played by him? Maybe he wouldn't even be interested in me?"

what?

Kofukuji Ryuuya was so confused by this statement that he was unable to respond.

“Xingli, I’m worried about your safety. I know you and Nishiki Chizuki are good friends, but you should stay away from dangerous guys like Mu Xiaoxiao—”

Moreover, he stole Miss Liulichuan and is my enemy. How could you get so close to him?

Kofukuji Ryuichi didn't say those words aloud.

However, Si Cheng Xingli still smiled—a genuine smile. Her sharp-tongued, icy face melted away like snow as she stared intently at her childhood sweetheart. "Danger? Stay away?"

If it weren't for Mu Jun yesterday, what would I be like today? This guy really knows nothing and can't do anything.

"Takashi, so you care about me this much? Should I thank you?"

Shiki Anri laughed heartily, but Kofukuji Takaya felt a chill run down his spine from her laughter.

"Xingli, you..."

“You’re right, Mu Jun is indeed dangerous. That guy is a bad guy. I’ll be careful. But this is my personal matter, and you don’t need to interfere. You can leave now.”

"..."

Young Master Takashi hesitated for a moment, his expression conflicted, "Anri...would you like to have lunch together..."

"I told you not to contact me at school, and I've already made plans with someone else for lunch break."

After he left, Shiki Anri sighed and slumped onto the table. She could now fully understand Rurikawa Tsubaki's choice. Even without being saved, in terms of pure ability, Kofukuji Takaya would be crushed by Mu Xiaoxiao.

They are not on the same level.

Turning her head, she saw the girls next to Mu Jun trying to chat him up, while Qian Shu frantically tried to stop them, looking exasperated and frustrated. Si Cheng Xing Li found it amusing, her eyes sparkling with laughter.

Upon discovering Mu Xiaoxiao leaning against the wall with a smug look on her face, he pouted and said, "She really is a bad guy."

--------

"I heard that regular students aren't allowed on the rooftop, right?"

Mu Xiaoxiao was dragged here by Jinmu Qianshu.

Standing behind, he could glimpse the long legs of the two girls in front of him under their school skirts, especially their plump thighs, the rounded flesh marked by the stockings. If he went down a little further, he could see the scenery inside.

Mu Xiaoxiao touched her nose, turned her gaze away, and changed the subject.

"Where did you get the key?"

Chizuka Nishiki, who opened the rooftop door with the key, was completely unaware that she might be exposing herself. "Of course, I got it from Reina-san."

The rooftop key is only available to teachers, the student council, and some clubs; ordinary students obviously don't have it.

Sicheng Xingli didn't speak, but simply closed her legs together, her pretty face slightly flushed as if she had probably noticed something.

"Tsk... Even Zero can't escape abusing his power for personal gain."

"It's just a meal on the rooftop, Xiaoxiao, you're exaggerating."

"Let me make this clear beforehand, I don't eat lunch boxes."

"This was made by Tsubaki, she'll be sad if she hears you say that~"

"Chitsuka, could you go to the cafeteria and buy me a bowl of ramen?"

"Honestly...you're always ordering people around," she complained, but obediently stood up. "I'll go buy it for you. You guys wait here for me, Xiaoxiao."

"Bring me another drink—"
