Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

His chest was almost entirely charred, covered with scaly, cracked patterns, and his face was mostly in the same condition, with only a very small portion showing traces of dark red flesh.

But this little bit of flesh and blood is still steaming with the heat that signifies maturity.

What is this humanoid thing...?

Misaka Mikoto asked herself in her mind.

Fear gripped Misaka Mikoto's heart, but she forced herself not to be afraid, staring intently at the charred human figure in the distance, trying to figure out what had happened.

Misaka Mikoto immediately gave her answer.

Without a doubt, this is a person.

Why was this person burned to such a state?

Clearly, he too had been struck by lightning, and unlike Misaka Mikoto, who possessed powerful electrical control abilities, he could only obediently accept the terrifying power of the electric shock, which could have reached up to 10 billion volts.

Being struck by such terrifying lightning would not be surprising if one were burned to a crisp.

But then another question arises: why did this person suddenly appear here, even just pressing down on Misaka Mikoto and being caught in this terrifying electric shock, suffering the fate of almost being burned to a crisp?

Misaka Mikoto thought of this question, and at the same time, she also thought of the answer.

She covered her mouth, her body trembled, and tears streamed down her face.

Now, she seemed to vaguely understand what had happened after she closed her eyes in fear, and she also understood why the lightning that should have struck her directly only caused her to suffer tolerable damage.

because……

"Hey……"

"Hey!"

Misaka Mikoto began crawling towards the charred humanoid figure. Her body was so weak that she could barely crawl, but that did not stop her from crawling toward her goal, toward the humanoid figure.

"Hey, you can't die! You can't die!"

Misaka Mikoto finally crawled to the doll's side and placed her hand on its chest, but her hand instinctively recoiled from the scorching heat.

Feeling the burning heat and excruciating pain in her hand, Misaka Mikoto realized that the person in front of her was not going to live.

The person who risked his life to save her is already dead.

"Why...why is this?!"

013 Thank you, anonymous kind person.

Misaka Mikoto was wailing in pain, her heart pounding.

Every wisp of heat emanating from the humanoid figure before her was draining Misaka Mikoto's strength from her entire body.

She didn't know who the person in front of her was, his age, gender, or appearance, let alone his name.

But this very person had just stood in front of her not long ago, taking the brunt of the electric current's power for her. Just looking at the damage he had suffered—almost completely burned—Misaka Mikoto could imagine the immense pain he had endured.

Why is that?

Misaka Mikoto wanted to know the answer, but she couldn't, because looking at the state of the person in front of her, she knew very well that he was doomed.

Misaka Mikoto had studied the damage of electric shock to the human body, so she knew very well that this person was not only in a miserable state on the outside, but his body insides were probably already completely cooked.

Simple burns to the body may give one a chance to survive, but clearly his internal body had suffered enormous damage, making it impossible for him to survive under any circumstances.

There's... no other way.

Since there's no way to solve this problem, there's no point in thinking about the previous questions anymore.

Thinking about who this person is, why he suddenly rushed out to save her, how he got here... all of that is meaningless now.

The person is already dead.

"At least……"

Unable to stop her tears, Misaka Mikoto moved her knees to the side of the humanoid head. She reached out her hands and cupped the humanoid's cheeks.

The scorching ashes and residue burned Misaka Mikoto's palms, causing her immediate and intense pain. However, compared to the helplessness in her heart, the pain in her hands was already insignificant to her.

"...At least I'll see you off..."

The doll's hands and feet had been burned to ashes, and Misaka Mikoto could only hold the doll's most intact face in her hands to express her pain and gratitude.

"...Why did it have to be like this? I wish I could at least know your name at the end... I wish I could at least... remember you..."

Silent tears fell onto the humanoid's cheeks, turning into droplets of steam. The terrifying lightning strike seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving only the tattered humanoid and the weeping girl as evidence of what had just happened.

However, such a terrifying lightning strike could not possibly go unnoticed. Instead, it immediately triggered a level-one response throughout Academy City, and even the upside-down man in the black building turned his attention to this area.

However, the first person to arrive at the scene was none other than the very person who had just annoyed Misaka Mikoto: her new roommate, Shirai Kuroko.

After all, Shirai Kuroko's ability can be used continuously, ignoring terrain and transportation. When faced with emergencies, as long as it's not too far away, Shirai Kuroko is almost always the first to arrive at the scene.

"This is the Disciplinary Committee member...Big Sister!"

Shirai Kuroko teleported to the scene and saw people at the lightning strike site. She instinctively thought they were just there to watch the spectacle and was about to use her disciplinary authority to kick them out when she immediately realized that the person was her older sister.

Despite their unpleasant relationship, Shirai Kuroko won't give up so easily. She's convinced that Misaka Mikoto is her older sister, and that means Misaka Mikoto is her older sister. Unless Misaka Mikoto completely rejects her, she will do everything in her power to gain her older sister's approval.

Now, seeing Misaka Mikoto here, she immediately blurted out, "Onee-sama, even you shouldn't run this way just because you see lightning, and..."

However, Shirai Kuroko's words came to an abrupt halt. She immediately noticed the mangled human figure that Misaka Mikoto had blocked, and seeing its terrifying appearance, she instantly understood what had happened.

That person... was struck by lightning...

Such horrific injuries... absolutely...

"sister!"

Shirai Kuroko approached Misaka Mikoto and said, "Onee-sama, this can't go on like this. Let's... take him to the hospital first. Don't be sad, Onee-sama."

"Don't come any closer."

"Sister, this person is already..."

"I know, I know he's dead, definitely dead, absolutely dead!"

Misaka Mikoto practically roared these words, which immediately stunned Shirai Kuroko, who instinctively took a step back.

She didn't understand what had happened. Had she touched a nerve with Misaka Mikoto again?

"Big sister..."

"I'm sorry, Shirai-kun."

However, to Shirai Kuroko's surprise, Misaka Mikoto apologized to her first.

“I’m not trying to get angry at you, but this person… this person whose name I don’t even know, just saved me. I should be the one who was struck by lightning and died, and ended up in this miserable state.”

"I... I don't know how to describe this feeling. I was saved, but I'm not happy at all... If only I were a little stronger..."

Shirai Kuroko finally understood everything, and understood why her older sister was acting the way she did.

This silenced her. She knew that saying anything more at this moment would be superfluous, so she looked at this person, whose name she didn't even know, with reverence and silently thanked him.

Silence fell once more. Misaka Mikoto's tears dripped onto the protagonist's face. Shirai Kuroko watched all this quietly; the current situation didn't require her to do anything more.

Perhaps what we should wait for now is for Misaka Mikoto to calm down, and then for her to stand by her as a supporter through this difficult time.

Thank you so much, kind stranger...wait, what is it?

Shirai Kuroko was slightly taken aback, as if she had seen an unbelievable scene. This scene was so surprising that she blinked, touched her eyes, and then leaned forward to look.

And so, she confirmed that she had seen again the scene that had just shocked her.

Misaka Mikoto's tears fell onto the eyes of the nameless good man. The continuous tears soaked and melted the flesh and carapace on his eyes, turning them into a filthy bloodstain.

This was naturally not what Shirai Kuroko was concerned about; what she was focused on was the nameless good man's eyes, which seemed to be... trembling.

"Sister...Big Sister..."

Shirai Kuroko called out Misaka Mikoto's name almost to herself, but Misaka Mikoto ignored her, perhaps not hearing her at all. However, the next time, Shirai Kuroko practically screamed.

"My dear sister! He...he might still be alive!"

This time, Misaka Mikoto heard Shirai Kuroko's scream no matter what. She heard that this person might still be alive. Misaka Mikoto's heart skipped a beat, and her pupils contracted.

Without Misaka Mikoto saying anything, Shirai Kuroko immediately knelt down beside the doll and carefully extended her index finger toward the doll's eyes. Misaka Mikoto immediately looked toward the doll's eyes as well.

The two of them didn't dare to breathe, their four eyes silently watching the eyes covered by blood.

Finally, amidst their anticipation, a slight tremor once again traveled from the bottom of the blood to sleep, creating a ripple.

This gesture... probably means that he just blinked, right?

Really... still alive!

"Still alive!"

"Still alive!"

"That's right, big sister, this person might be a physical enhancement user, which means he still has a chance to live!"

Misaka Mikoto screamed loudly, a hint of panicked joy creeping onto her lips. She immediately looked around and said, "What... what should we do!"

"Take him to the hospital!"

"Oh right, the hospital, the hospital!"

Misaka Mikoto immediately responded loudly to Shirai Kuroko's words, and then reached out as if to touch her phone. But at that moment, Shirai Kuroko placed her hand on the humanoid figure's chest and said, "Onee-sama, leave it to me!"

Misaka Mikoto was taken aback and said, "I'll leave it to you?"

"Yes, trust me, my dear sister. I'll use my abilities to take him to the hospital. Please follow me immediately."

Misaka Mikoto finally understood and nodded immediately. At that moment, she suddenly felt grateful that she had such a junior by her side.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko nodded, then vanished in an instant with her human form, reappearing eighty meters away in mid-air. Misaka Mikoto, who saw all this from afar, also felt a surge of intense hope and fighting spirit in her eyes. The lightning on her body surged, and she ran off at high speed.

After the two people left, the riverbank that had been struck by lightning returned to calm. It wasn't until a few minutes later that a large number of security guards and researchers arrived at the scene, only to find a horrific scene.

Both sides got to work. Researchers were busy using various instruments to collect data, while security guards set up a cordon and discussed the unusual disaster. It seemed that no one had noticed yet that someone had been struck by lightning here.

Except for one cat.

Indeed, a black cat, entirely black with metal rings around its neck and limbs and pale green eyes, arrived at the scene of the lightning strike unnoticed, sniffing the area with its small nose.
