Friendly relations?
You have no idea—right now, every time I see the words "evolution point," my eyes practically glow red. So-called "monsters" are nothing more than a walking resource pool in my eyes. To be honest, I've never once considered these low-tier trash mobs as "my kind."
Even if this Matsubara Donghua is a little special—maybe even a main heroine or whatever—she still doesn't qualify to be called my kin!That was Mu Xiaoxiao's arrogant thought.
He couldn't be bothered to deal with her. In fact, the more Matsubara Donghua talked, the more Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to take her down—not just for the evolution points, but also to extract information. This girl seemed to know a lot about the origins of the zombie tentacle monsters.
"Mu-kun…"
Sakurakami Natsumi no longer cared about the whole human-or-monster thing. All she knew was that the tentacle monster beside her wasn't scary at all. On the contrary—he was kind of cute. Kawaii. Moe.
More importantly, he had appeared when she was at her most hopeless and had saved her again and again.
Without even realizing it, Sakurakami Natsumi had already started seeing him as her personal "White Moonlight."
"Donghua!"
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao was about to test Matsubara Donghua's strength, a student by the door—Matsubara Fuuichi—stared at his sister with disbelief and said,"Donghua… it was really you… why would you do something like this?!"
The death of his best friend… the way Natsumi avoided him… the betrayal by his childhood sweetheart… and now even his own sister had changed.All of it made Matsubara Fuuichi feel like his scalp was about to explode.
"Why would you do this?!"
The orange-haired girl sighed long and slow."Niisan… seems like you really don't get it."
Hm?Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly smelled drama. He suppressed his urge to attack and stood still.
Natsumi also turned to look, clearly wanting answers too. Why had Matsubara Donghua targeted her? They had once been close friends…
Donghua took two steps forward, drawing all attention to herself. She then opened her mouth and slowly said:"Because… she was trying to steal you from me."
She gave a radiant smile.
"???"
"..."
If Mu Xiaoxiao had a face, his expression would be: ("▔□▔).
Instant realization.
"You said… what now?"
"No choice," Donghua shrugged, "Niisan, you and Natsumi-senpai are just too close. Childhood friends and all that… hehe."Her smile twisted, showing her full yandere colors."That's why I had to push her away from you!"
Matsubara Fuuichi stood there stunned, completely dumbfounded.
Natsumi, realizing the truth, could only shake her head helplessly and say nothing.
As for Mu Xiaoxiao… he was already facepalming.
"Not just Natsumi-senpai. There's also Wakumaku-senpai, right? Niisan, you're always surrounded by beautiful, affectionate girls. I couldn't accept it. I won't accept it! Watching them get close to you, caring about you… it drives me crazy!!"
Donghua's once-beautiful face began to twist as she shrieked hysterically,"All of them! Every girl around you—I've made sure they fell from grace! I want you to belong to me, and me alone!!"
Then she turned, giggling, to Mu Xiaoxiao and spread her arms."Mr. Tentacle, even if I'm a monster, I've kept my body pure. Among all the monsters, I'm one of a kind. All thanks to you for saving me back then~"
"As thanks, I'll gift you all those girls. That way, no one can compete with me for my brother… you can play with their bodies however you want. Doesn't that sound fun?"
I mean… yeah.
Wait wait wait! What kind of perverted, degenerate logic is that?!Cough cough.Okay, maybe I'm a little tempted…
But I'm still a tentacle monster! I can't accept this kind of dirty, lewd thing… right? It feels weird.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head violently. Yandere. This was peak yandere behavior. A sister with a brother complex this deep was just plain terrifying.
"Donghua…"
Mu Xiaoxiao was completely speechless. His interest vanished, and he no longer had any desire to watch this twisted family drama unfold.
Damn it! I thought I transmigrated into an eroge—but this is a K-drama?!
He gave up the idea of fighting Donghua altogether. Better to back off now. Time to leave.
"Wait, Mu-kun—!"
Quick as lightning, Sakurakami Natsumi grabbed one of Mu Xiaoxiao's tentacles and held on tightly."Are you leaving? Then… take me with you?"
Mu Xiaoxiao: "???"
Wait, why would you come along? Aren't you and Matsubara Fuuichi childhood friends or something—?
Hold up.Looking at the weird atmosphere between everyone, Mu Xiaoxiao immediately understood something.
Sigh. That yandere sister… what a disaster. She completely broke up a perfectly good childhood sweetheart couple.
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head, deeply disappointed.
Matsubara Donghua: "???"
Okay, I admit I wanted to break them up.But come on, you have no sense of responsibility either, do you?
"Natsumi…"
Matsubara Fuuichi tried to speak, but was immediately cut off by his yandere sister.
"Natsumi-senpai, from the looks of it… you seem to treat Mr. Tentacle very specially. That look in your eyes… it wasn't like this before. You only ever looked at my brother like that…"
Heavily implying something.
Natsumi shot her a bland glance and didn't respond. Instead, she turned back to Mu Xiaoxiao, her eyes sincere."Mu-kun, please take me with you."
Under the moonlight, the high-ponytailed girl looked like a princess locked in a tower, longing for her prince to rescue her…
The problem was—I'm the tentacle monster!
Emmm…Feels more like I'm the demon king kidnapping the prince's fiancée from the castle.
But hey—since she offered herself so readily, there was no reason to refuse. He was just a little surprised this girl got so attached to him… Even though he'd saved her several times, wasn't she even a bit scared of how he looked?
A tentacle swept around her waist, just like it had done with that scumbag Kabatani Daisuke. Mu Xiaoxiao pulled her close. She didn't resist at all—in fact, she smiled sweetly at him.
As he wrapped her up and jumped out the window, vanishing into the night, he couldn't help thinking:
The prince's fiancée has eloped with the demon king…
"Natsumi—!"
Matsubara Fuuichi shouted in anguish, staring at the fading silhouette of his childhood friend as she disappeared without even looking back. His heart clenched with unbearable pain.
Natsumi… all these years, have I really meant less to you than that monster?
You'd rather run away with him than stay with me. You wouldn't even give me a glance.
In the distance, dazzling lights flared. Piercing sirens wailed from the school gates, and through the windows, one could vaguely make out rows of police cars approaching. Several teachers looked ecstatic and shouted excitedly.
"It's the police! We're saved! Fuuichi-kun—!"
Donghua frowned. They'd arrived faster than expected.Did those cops already know about the monsters or supernatural threats?
The cautious yandere girl didn't act rashly. She cast a deep glance at her brother, then looked toward the direction Mu Xiaoxiao had vanished, and smiled slightly before turning and leaving the school building.
As for Matsubara Fuuichi, he felt none of the joy or relief of surviving. He just knelt on the ground, hollow-eyed.
He had a terrible feeling that this time, now that Natsumi had left…he might have lost his childhood sweetheart—
Forever.
