He had noticed the situation here a while ago, but had been quietly watching from the sidelines.
When he saw that Kabeya Daisuke had fallen in love with the childhood friend of his own best friend, Sakuraue Natsumi, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but show a strange expression. Especially after seeing Daisuke's arrogant grin and that disgusting, perverted face he showed to Natsumi…
What the hell?!
This was the textbook case of a NTR blonde cuck!And not just any cuck—this guy was supposed to be the MC's good bro too!
Mu Xiaoxiao's mind instantly filled with some generic soap opera plot where the protagonist and his childhood friend like each other, only for the so-called "best friend" to come along and hijack the love interest. It was pure garbage.
It felt like watching Little Li Flying Dagger—but in the worst way.
Goddamn it!
His blood pressure spiked.
Here he was, a tentacle monster from the chaotic evil camp, yet even he was getting pissed off by this bullcrap NTR drama? That's one for the history books.
But screw that—today, this pure love little tentacle is gonna wipe these cucks out!
Smashing through the window, slicing up the tentacles, saving the girl—Hell yes, his heart felt clearer than ever.
"You—"
"Y-y-y-y-y-you—!!!"
Falling from heaven to hell takes only a second. In the blink of an eye, the prey that had been in the palm of his hand had escaped.This wasn't just a cooked duck flying away—this was a duck flying out of his mouth.
And she would never be his again.
Kabeya Daisuke, who had been eagerly fantasizing about fulfilling his disgusting ambitions, now watched in horror as Sakuraue Natsumi broke free and got away. Anger surged up… only to be instantly crushed by the waves of agony tearing through his body.
Because he felt it—that terrifying killing intent from the tentacle monster that had crashed through the window.A suffocating, indescribable pressure.Kabeya Daisuke realized it in that moment—This was death.
If Mu Xiaoxiao could talk, he would've roared something like:"NTR bastards, DIE FOR ME!!"And the intimidation would've gone up another level.
Clack-clack-clack—
Urgent footsteps were rushing closer from outside.
"Natsumi! Daisuke… Daisuke?!"Matsubara Fuuichi and the others finally showed up, completely clueless about what had happened.
Then they saw it—Sakuraue Natsumi leaning weakly against the wall, Kabeya Daisuke drenched in blood, and the jellyfish-like tentacle monster hovering outside the shattered window…
Everyone's breath stopped.
The tentacle monster is back?!
"Natsumi, run—!"
Ehhhmmm… Hearing Matsubara Fuuichi's loud voice at that moment, he suddenly felt like… a clown.But Sakuraue Natsumi didn't even glance at her childhood friend.Instead, her head tilted up—gazing only at the tentacle monster floating above with its elegant tendrils.
The silver moonlight bathed its form in a gentle glow.Her jewel-like blue eyes were filled with only him.
There was no one else anymore.
Mu Xiaoxiao ignored the late-arriving students entirely.His tentacles suddenly stretched—SHHHK!And with a shriek, Kabeya Daisuke's tentacles were slashed clean off.
Flesh sprayed everywhere.
"AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH——!!!!"
The screams echoed through the entire building.
Daisuke writhed on the floor in agony, legs severed clean, dragging a long smear of blood behind him as he clawed desperately toward Fuuichi.
"F-Fuuichi—Help! HELP ME!! That monster's going to kill me! It's going to kill me!""And that woman! Sakuraue Natsumi—she's helping the monster attack me!!""Save me, man! Save me—!!"
Wh-what?
Natsumi… helped it?
Matsubara Fuuichi stared at his childhood friend in disbelief, eyes wide in shock.
Seeing his look, Sakuraue Natsumi clenched her fists.
"Fuuichi… do you really believe the words of that pervert?"
"I…"
Pervert?
How did things turn out like this between Natsumi and Daisuke?Fuuichi couldn't make sense of anything—but Daisuke's state had him rattled.
"Natsumi, we'll talk later! Just come here first—it's dangerous with that monster!"
Monster? Dangerous?
She'd never felt safer anywhere else.
Natsumi let out a quiet sigh, gaze resting on her childhood friend for a long moment.Then, without saying a word, she rose from the wall and walked over to stand next to Mu Xiaoxiao.
She didn't speak.Didn't explain.Her expression was weary.So, so tired.
After everything—Kabeya's grotesque words, the betrayal, the distrust from her childhood friend—it was too much.
Meanwhile, Mu Xiaoxiao watched all this play out and couldn't understand why the girl wasn't clearing up the misunderstanding.But he didn't have time to care about these petty dramas.
Suddenly—
A tentacle lashed sideways into a toilet stall.It mercilessly whipped at the shattered door, again and again.Until—THWACK!
It yanked something out with brutal force and slammed it hard against the wall.
Everyone turned to see—There was someone hiding inside the whole time.
"Douka?!"
"Douka-chan?"
Douka Matsubara was sprawled against the wall like a squashed bug, smiling cheerfully.
"Owie owie owie~ That really hurt, you meanie! Didn't you just save me before? And now you're hitting me this hard? Tentacle-kun, you're so cruel~"
T-Tentacle-kun?!
Wait, that girl I saved earlier…?!Mu Xiaoxiao stared in silence.Could that needle from before… have turned her into a monster too?
But why was she so powerful compared to the other trash mobs?
Could she be… the female lead?
His instinct screamed at him—this Douka girl was even stronger than the worm-like mini-boss he'd fought before.Still, now that he had evolved, he was confident he could handle her.
"You… you did all this?!" Natsumi's expression turned cold as ice."You turned Kabeya Daisuke into a monster… and sent him after me?!"
Monster? Attack?
Fuuichi and the others' brains were short-circuiting.
But now that they looked at the two girls facing off, something clicked—Had he misunderstood Natsumi…?
"Ehhh? You've got it all wrong, Natsumi-senpai~ I was just trying to lure out Tentacle-kun. That's all! No ill intentions~ I've never seen such a special creature before."
"It saved you—and it saved me too! Isn't a monster that helps humans… fascinating?"
Natsumi's face was pale, clearly unconvinced.Ever since Douka's personality changed, she had felt nothing but danger from her.
But Douka didn't care about Natsumi's distrust. Her eyes never left Mu Xiaoxiao.
"Now that I've seen you in person… I knew it. You're different. Not like us at all. Not the same species. Ahhh, I just can't help it—I'm dying to know the secrets you're hiding…"
"What are you, Tentacle-kun?"
What am I…?
Tsk tsk.
"I'm done pretending.""I'm just a pure love war god passing by."
Mu Xiaoxiao somehow lifted a wooden board—probably torn off a bathroom stall—and showed the words scrawled across it.Even the yandere Matsubara Douka blinked for a second before giggling behind her hand.
"Pure love war god? Fufufu~ You really are interesting…"
Sakuraue Natsumi gently pressed her soft lips together, her smooth, fair cheeks flushing pink for some reason.
Meanwhile, the now-forgotten Matsubara Fuuichi and others suddenly realized one shocking truth:
This monster… can communicate?!
