Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

162cm, girlish heart? So sweet!

With each word CC spoke, Karen's face turned redder, and her original stubborn denial turned into a coy attempt to hold her breath and not let her expression fall apart.

After all, CC's words struck a chord with Karen, leaving her with no way to defend herself. CC even dug up some of Karen's deepest secrets.

If it weren't for CC in front of her, Kallen probably would have already turned off the neural connection device and openly gone to find this person who knew her secret, gently erasing those useless memories from his mind with force.

"What, not going to argue this time, you adorable little Karen? Do you think you can really be on equal footing now that you're grown up? People may grow up, but sometimes, growing up can actually make people more vulnerable inside."

CC's smile was practically bursting out, and she said, "Isn't it, a little girl falling in love?"

Karen stared intently at CC, her eyes filled with anger at having her secrets exposed, yet she was powerless against CC.

However, Karen's temper meant she wouldn't swallow her anger, and she said, "Sissi, if you dare to flirt with me again..."

"Are you going to threaten me? It seems you still don't understand the situation. If I tell Momo all your little schemes, Karen, how do you think she'll view you?"

"No! Hey, this is supposed to be a secret between the two of us, what would it look like if you told Momo?"

"Ten pizzas, the hush money must be cheap, right?"

"I'll buy you a hundred servings, you'll be stuffed to the point of bursting!"

When faced with CC's demand for silence, Karen agreed without hesitation, because she knew that she really had no way to deal with CC, this green-haired woman.

The two had their share of falling out and even fighting over the years, which made Kallen realize that this seemingly unreliable green-haired woman was extraordinary in terms of fighting skills, knowledge, and ability, and in some aspects even surpassed Artoria.

Karen has indeed grown up; she's no longer the little girl she used to be. Over the past five years, Karen has matured a lot and has gradually begun to notice the differences in Momo and his group.

Therefore, Karen gradually developed some worries and anxieties.

One hundred pizzas won over CC, but Karen wasn't happy about it; instead, she became somewhat disappointed. CC noticed all of this and said, "What are you thinking, little girl? I really don't understand anymore."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've been thinking about marrying Mo Mo for a long time now, haven't you? Although at that time, your purpose might not have been love, but more to have Mo Mo, this powerful man, as your protector, am I right?"

Karen hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "These things are best kept to yourself. Please don't tell anyone else. That incident... really scared me for a long time. So when I learned that Momo could protect me, I decided to stick by his side and never leave him."

"That way, I won't encounter that terrible thing again."

Seeing Karen begin to open up, CC's expression also calmed down. She said, "So what about you now? I can see that you like Momo. Whether it's a liking you've had since childhood, or you've rediscovered yourself and fallen for Momo again, what are you hesitating about now?"

"Given your personality, why don't you just pin Mo Mo down on the ground, mount him, ignore his wails and tears, forcibly take his virginity, and then you can start your happy life together?"

"Ah... these lines..."

Karen was quite familiar with C.C.'s indifferent sense of decency and his meager reserves of decency, but she was still quite shocked by C.C.'s endless stream of adult lines, and said, "Do you think I'm an animal in heat?"

"Young lady, for the sake of love, you must muster your courage."

"I would never have the courage to learn about animal mating! Besides, I'm still a sixteen-year-old girl, please don't teach me such mature topics!"

CC blinked, seemingly suddenly realizing something, clapped her hands, and said, "Ah, I finally understand, young lady, do you yearn for a love that makes your heart flutter, moves your soul, and ultimately, makes your bodies move together?"

"Tsk, why does something that was originally quite beautiful suddenly taste different after you say it? Are you a witch?!"

Karen, you've discovered the blind student's... no, his key insight.

After CC finally saw through her thoughts, Karen couldn't put on any airs anymore, but CC just tilted her head and remained silent.

The two stopped talking, but they seemed to understand each other's thoughts.

After a while, Karen cautiously looked up and whispered, "Is it not allowed?"

CC sighed softly, lay back on the bed, curled up one of her fair thighs, and said, "At least for now, it doesn't seem like that will work."

"You know what Mo Mo's purpose is. Although he's currently a hands-off manager, he has hundreds of subordinate managers working for him. Even if he only handles directional matters, he's destined to be a busy man."

"Besides, there are some things... I can't tell you yet, so it's probably not possible to make him drop everything to have a spontaneous romance with you."

Karen was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I'm only sixteen. If I wait a few more years..."

"Young lady, sixteen is not young anymore. How old do you think the girls around Mo Mo are?"

Karen was slightly taken aback and said, "At least... you're all in your twenties, right? Sisi, don't tell me you're going to be thirty?"

CC pursed her lips and asked Karen if she would faint if she told Karen that she was over a thousand years old.

"Then let me ask you another question, Karen. You've known us for five years now. Do you think there have been any physical changes in us?"

Karen blinked and said, "Change? Are you pregnant?"

"Hmph, I do want to get pregnant, but unfortunately Mo Mo doesn't have that idea for the time being."

Karen sighed and said, "How could I not have noticed? You've all basically not changed in the past five years. Although some of you, like Asuna and Yuki, have changed quite a bit in terms of your demeanor, I've seen you so much over the past five years that I noticed it a long time ago."

"I've grown up, and Lihua has grown up too, but you haven't changed. Do you all have some kind of family-inherited beauty and skincare secrets?"

Seeing that Karen was still trying to hide her feelings, CC pressed on, saying, "You can choose to wait a few years, like five more. If in five years, you, at twenty-one, have become a mature Karen, but we are still the same as we are now, what do you think will happen?"

"Well, if this situation really happens, that little girl Jiang Lihua is just the right age to take care of herself."

This was CC talking to herself. Afterwards, CC glanced at Karen and found that Karen was completely stunned.

"Hey, I was just saying. Jiang Lihua is still a bit short of being able to steal your man."

"Do not……"

Karen's voice was a little hoarse as she said, "It was that sentence you said earlier. You mean that even in five years... you won't change? I can roughly imagine what I'll look like in five years, but you..."

CC looked at Karen in silence, knowing that she had finally triggered some of Karen's inner turmoil.

Nearly a minute later, Karen spoke again: "Sissi, what... what's going on with you guys?"

"Want to know?"

"think."

"Join us, and Momo will let you know everything. Or choose to leave us; for now, Momo probably won't make things difficult for you."

Karen was stunned for a moment, then became furious and said, "Don't joke around. You want me to leave you now? I... I've always considered myself one of you. You want me to leave... what have I been doing for the past five years?!"

"Then join us, what's there to hesitate about?"

"It's not as simple as you say! At least consider my feelings, okay? Consider my mindset at sixteen!"

CC sighed and said, "Although I don't want to shatter your girlish heart, please have a little sense of crisis, okay, Karen?"

"A sense of crisis? What are you talking about?" Karen seemed a little confused.

"What a hopeless little girl."

CC held her finger in front of her eyes, and it felt as if her finger, thousands of kilometers away, was poking Karen's head.

"How many girls do you think Mo Mo has around him? What makes you so calm and hesitant? Is it just because of the five years you've been playing house with Mo Mo?"

"Besides, you are different from us after all. In these five years, has Mo Mo ever shown you any ambiguous or greedy feelings?"

Karen seemed quite indignant, saying, "Doesn't it count as her peeping at me while I'm showering?"

CC scoffed and said, "Don't flatter yourself. Mo Mo just came to me, his secretary, for an affair, and we happened to be taking a shower together. If Mo Mo really had feelings for you, he would either have run away with his dignity intact or taken the opportunity to look at you more often. But has he done anything like that?"

For a moment, Karen was speechless.

"So, Karen, I'm worried about you. It's not good for you to just stay by Momo's side like this. I can't tell you the details, but since you guessed that our appearances won't change, I can tell you that there's a limit to how long we can stay in one place."

"Five years is not a short time. People will say that the Mo family is very well-preserved. If another five years pass, people will probably look at us like we are monsters."

"How much time do you think you have left to hesitate, how much time to waste, especially since Momo hasn't really shown you much affection?"

CC concluded with a definitive statement: "Young lady, now is the time for you to pursue Mo Mo, not for Mo Mo to fulfill your unrealistic romantic dreams."

"Of course, you can also choose to end this pretend game and really treat Momo as an older brother, a teacher, or a friend."

"It's you who should make the choice and take the action, not Momo. Let's face reality first."

Karen was completely stunned by CC's words; the girlish sentiment on her face just now seemed to have been ruthlessly shattered by CC.

"Are you... here to mock me?"

After a long silence, Karen finally gritted her teeth and uttered those words.

Author's Note:

I've only updated two chapters today, so I still owe 16 chapters. I'll get up early tomorrow and work harder.

163 Actually, I wanted to be a pimp.

"Mocking you?"

CC shook her head calmly and said, "I'm not in the mood to laugh at you, nor do I think there's anything funny about it. I'm just reminding you not to miss out."

"If you want to come to us, don't hesitate any longer. If you don't want to join us, then give up on the idea and keep your distance."

"In this way, we can avoid some very troublesome developments."

"This is my own experience, I went through it myself. I used to be like that, hesitating and almost putting Mo Mo in danger. Now that I think about it, I want to slap my past self."

After saying that, CC looked at Karen and said, "However, all that is in the past now. I'm giving you some advice as someone who's been through it. Consider it a warning, though. If you hesitate and get entangled with Momo, and end up causing him trouble, I'll be angry, very angry."

"What is this?" Karen was both annoyed and amused. "You've said it yourself, haven't you? You've made similar mistakes. Since you can make mistakes, but you can't allow others to make mistakes, what kind of domineering logic is that? You're too selfish!"

“Selfish? Yes, I am very selfish right now. I made this mistake before, which is why I'm reminding you not to do it. Otherwise, this selfish woman won't be your friend anymore, Karen.”

Karen gritted her teeth and said, "So what are you doing now, trying to persuade me to give up? Because Momo has you all by his side, you don't want me to become Momo's woman too?"

Karen was truly angry. She had originally considered CC one of her closest companions, but what Karen said today only made her feel resistant and angry, and completely negated Karen's own feelings.

Can such a friend still be considered a friend?

"No, you've got one thing wrong, Karen."

CC rejected Karen's suggestion and continued, "Rather than turning you away, I'd much rather you come to Momo's side and help him with some things. You think we have a lot of people, but I feel it's not enough."

"So, I'd rather be a pimp, helping Momo with pimping. If you're willing to join, I'd be more than happy to. I'm just reminding you not to hesitate; you don't have time to hesitate."

"If you can make up your mind, when you come back, I'll lure Mo Mo to your room and give you the chance to force yourself on her, how about that?"

Karen was both amused and exasperated; CC's language was becoming increasingly concise, yet increasingly difficult to accept.

What the heck is pimping...?

Was it really for that reason that I wanted to become Mo Mo's person?

Although that kind of thing... seems really interesting, otherwise why would Momo and everyone else like it so much?

"That's all I have to say, Karen. This is the first and last time I'll remind you of this as your friend."
