Nagumo’s actions eased the atmosphere a bit, and even Natsumi, whose heart was a mix of emotions, couldn’t help but smile, her mood relaxing slightly… However, the three parties in confrontation still dared not move, forming a triangle.
Nagumo and Natsumi, Matsubara Touka, and the few students who, though not threatening, remained vigilant… As for Hanakaya Daisuke, who tried to NTR his friend?
He was lying in the middle, playing dead.
After turning into a monster, his vitality really increased greatly.
He hadn’t died despite losing so much blood.
“So that’s it.
Although I can’t know what secret you’re hiding, one thing is certain…” Matsubara Touka retracted her tentacles and stood steadily on the ground, like a normal girl with her hands behind her back.
She playfully blinked at Nagumo, deliberately pausing for several seconds before slowly speaking.
“You should also have been human before turning into your current form, right?”
!!!
Natsumi had previously speculated whether Nagumo-kun was a human-turned-monster.
Now, hearing Matsubara Touka’s astonishing words, her pupils suddenly constricted to pinpricks, and she sharply turned her head to look at the Tentacle Monster beside her.
Her previous guess was just a guess, a vague idea that she hadn’t even thought through herself.
Now, hearing Matsubara Touka, who had already become a monster, say it, the credibility immediately skyrocketed.
He—is he really human?!
Natsumi was truly too shocked, too overwhelmed to believe it.
The monster’s shadow was reflected in the girl’s water-blue eyes.
This twisted alien was actually human?
This shock was far more profound than the Tentacle Monsters that Matsubara Touka and these students in the school had become.
These students, in the end, still maintained their human appearance.
As for Matsubara Touka, when she retracted her tentacles, she even looked exactly like an ordinary person… But Nagumo-kun?
If this alien monster was truly human, he would definitely be the first!
Moreover, even with his twisted form and monstrous body, he actually helped her, while Hanakaya Daisuke, who looked human but acted like a beast, including these zombie monsters… Without comparison, there is no difference.
Natsumi’s gaze towards him grew softer and softer…
So, is he human or not?
Is he really human who turned into this form for some reason, or did Matsubara Touka guess wrong?
Is he a pure monster?
Natsumi stared at him intently, eagerly awaiting his response.
On the other side, Matsubara Houichi and the others were also startled by Touka’s words, looking strangely at the large fleshy ball with swaying tentacles.
Why are you all looking at me like that?
Is it so strange if I’m human?
Aren’t you also a monster?
I can’t believe I saved you before, I didn’t expect… Nagumo ranted silently in his mind, but didn’t answer the question.
Hanakaya Daisuke, with his broken legs, struggled in terror, blood gushing from his broken legs like an open faucet, a truly miserable sight.
Seeing his good friend’s miserable state, Matsubara Houichi felt a pang of pity, while Natsumi’s expression was cold, even showing a hint of satisfaction.
Hanakaya Daisuke sensed the approach of death and screamed in terror, “Matsubara Touka!
Save—save me—!”
“You’re the one who turned me into this!
You’re the one who told me to insult Natsumi!
It’s all you!!
Wuwu—If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have become like this!!
Hurry and save me ahhhhhh!!”
Fear, terror, snot and tears smearing his face as he spoke, looking somewhat comical and ridiculous.
Honestly, it was truly shameful.
How could he even call himself a Tentacle Monster like this?
Hanakaya Daisuke’s face turned red as the gradually tightening tentacles constricted his neck, groaning ‘ho ho ho’.
Because of his loud cries, everyone looked at the cute and beautiful yandere girl, and Nagumo also looked over.
Matsubara Houichi couldn’t believe that was his sister.
The once frail but gentle sister…
“Touka!!
Why did you do this?!”
“Brother, you don’t need to worry about this,” Matsubara Touka said, and whether or not she noticed Nagumo’s gaze, she looked at him, showing a sweet smile, with no trace of her yandere appearance.
“I’m sorry, Senior Hanakaya, but it saved me before, and I don’t want to repay its kindness with enmity because of you.”
You still remember I saved you?
Nagumo was speechless.
“As for the humiliation of Natsumi, although I had my reasons, Senior Hanakaya, are you sure it wasn’t your own desires and thoughts?
Blaming everything on me is really too much, you know~”
“Besides, its aura has been locked onto me.
If I dared to make any rash moves, I would definitely be met with a storm-like attack.
I can feel the energy contained within its body, it’s terrifying… I don’t want to go against it, I can feel it, Touch-kun~”
Matsubara Touka covered her small mouth with her hand and chuckled, “You’re very angry, so I wouldn’t dare to provoke your inverse scale right now.”
“A monster yet angry because of what just happened… It seems you value Natsumi-senpai very much?” Touka tilted her head, glancing at Natsumi’s flushed cheeks.
“And Senior Natsumi too, why are you getting along so well with a monster?
Your relationship seems quite unusual.”
Natsumi didn’t know how to answer such a question.
Was she supposed to say that her relationship with Nagumo-kun became good because he helped and saved her again and again?
Natsumi’s silent, head-down attitude made Matsubara Houichi’s heart clench, feeling inexplicably pained and uncomfortable, as if he had lost something important…
Natsumi, could she—
No, she’s my Childhood friend, a Childhood friend I’ve known since we were kids and had such a good relationship with.
Why would she… Besides, it’s a monster!
Even if it used to be human…
Matsubara Houichi’s mind was in chaos, his emotions complex, and he felt unpleasant inside.
Matsubara Houichi had already noticed that Natsumi barely looked at him anymore; she was constantly staring at that monster!
“So, I’m wondering if Touch-kun is human or not?”
You seem very fixated on this question.
Nagumo didn’t speak, unable to open his mouth.
The tentacles suddenly tightened, and Hanakaya Daisuke’s eyes nearly bulged out.
The scent of death was close at hand.
“Devil… You, you devil…”
Without wasting words on him, with a fierce twist, Hanakaya Daisuke’s head fell off, body separated from head.
On that round head, his eyes were wide and bulging, filled with terror, fear, and trembling emotions.
Until the very end, no one cared about him; he died like an ant.
And Matsubara Touka, who caused all of this, didn’t even look at the head that rolled to her feet, its eyes wide and beginning to stiffen, continuing to gaze at Nagumo with a sweet smile.
Evolution Points +1
Nagumo’s gaze at Matsubara Touka’s body gradually turned dangerous, not because he coveted her body, but because he was thinking about how many evolution points he could get by eliminating her… Damn it!
Even if he were to look for a woman, he’d look for a proper girl.
There’s no way he’d go for a monster, right?
Although I am also a monster.
Compared to her, Natsumi is better.
Look at Natsumi-senpai, tall, long legs, excellent face and figure… Wait, wait, why are my thoughts also turning to perverted things?
I’m a Tentacle Monster determined to become stronger!
I’m not like those vulgar, lewd, and clichéd guys!
“Eh, it seems Touch-kun doesn’t like me very much, not responding to me at all,” Matsubara Touka took a small step back, sensing his hostility towards her, still very wary of Nagumo’s strength.
“But whether you’re human or not isn’t important.
Like me, although I used to be human, I’m now also a member of the monsters… Touch-kun, we are the same kind.”
“Compared to humans, as our own kind, shouldn’t we get along more amicably?”
