Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The electronic voice on her neck sounded again. The girl tilted her head and said, "You said I shouldn't waste my power like this, even using it to influence the powerful Aleister? But I hate waiting even more. It's so hot standing here, I really want to go back to sleep..."

The girl murmured to herself, and at that moment, Kihara Tsuki suddenly appeared beside her and said, "So you were already waiting here. No wonder the chairman suddenly wanted to see you. Come with me, Best."

After saying that, Kihara Ayaki and the girl called Best disappeared. When they reappeared, they were standing in front of a strange person.

He was wearing a green surgical gown, suspended headfirst in red liquid inside a life support device made of tempered glass, four meters in diameter and ten meters long. He looked like a man and a woman, an adult and a child, a saint and a sinner.

This is Aleister Crowley, the founder of Academy City, who reigns over the entire city. However, he doesn't look like an old man who has been living in poverty for decades after creating Academy City. Instead, he is a hanged man... no, an upside-down man, whose theoretical lifespan is 1,700 years old because he has entrusted all life maintenance to machines.

"You've arrived."

A synthesized voice sounded, and Aleister stared at the girl in front of him, as if this wasn't the first time he had seen her.

"Ah."

There seemed to be no need for introductions between the two. Aleister gave the order directly: "Two things. First, the lightning strike just now was indeed a natural phenomenon, but many people are spreading rumors that it was an experiment. Use your power to quell this public opinion."

"it is good."

"The second thing is that guy who appeared out of nowhere. You... you must be related to him, right?"

Best tilted his head and said, "We're not very familiar with each other, but I can assure you he's harmless and harmless to our goals."

Aleister paused for a few seconds after hearing this, then said, "In that case, you will be responsible for monitoring and ensuring this person's safety. I have already sent his identity information to the relevant personnel, and you will be in charge of the rest."

"it is good."

"You can leave now."

"it is good."

When facing Aleister, Best becomes even more of a taciturn girl, seemingly content with simply saying "okay" and "uh-huh" unless absolutely necessary, while Aleister, in contrast, becomes a chatterbox.

After Best left, another voice rang out from the darkness, saying, "You should have noticed, right? You're being influenced by her. Is that alright?"

Aleister did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Aivas, does that new person also possess the same power as Best?"

"No... to be precise, if Best's power makes me feel like an unknown god, then the power behind that new person is more like the entire world."

"Perhaps...we should call that man the creator god?"

Aiwass's voice carried a hint of a laugh as he said, "Aleister, your plan seems to be straying further and further from its original goal. Since you can be influenced by that Best, do you still dare to carry out this plan with her?"

"At least for now, our goals are aligned. Although the methods of execution differ, the results are still within my acceptable range, aren't they, Aiwass?"

“That’s true, but isn’t this a stain on your ideals, Aleister? You’ve prepared meticulously for so many years, made so much effort, and now all you can do is watch? Are you really willing to accept that?”

"What else can I do? You said it yourself, she can influence me. So how do I know that the decisions I make next are my own thoughts, or are they induced by her? Perhaps the decisions I make next, my agreement, my anger, and my resentment are all caused by her?"

Aleister's words silenced Aiwass as well.

"Just watch quietly. At least for now, that Best isn't completely unmanageable."

"That's all we can do."

……

Outside the emergency room, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko sat side by side. Misaka Mikoto had her head down, burying her face in her hands, while Shirai Kuroko could only watch quietly.

The sun is already setting in the west, and it's not long before curfew. Not long ago, even the security guards and researchers came to inquire about the person from earlier.

However, Misaka Mikoto remained silent throughout, leaving all the work to Shirai Kuroko. Unfortunately, Shirai Kuroko couldn't know much and could only try her best to deal with the situation, which greatly displeased the security guards and researchers who came.

However, in the end, it was Misaka Mikoto who resolved the situation. Her method was simple and direct: she unleashed a bolt of electricity at the feet of the security guards and researchers, causing everyone to panic.

Such behavior should not be tolerated, especially since it was an attack on the security guards. However, Level 5 members have their own privileges, and at least these security guards do not dare to directly attack Misaka Mikoto.

Of course, they don't have that ability either.

Finally, the hospital staff broke the deadlock, as the attending physician seemed to have a very high reputation, so high that he could simply shoo the security guards and researchers out.

Of course, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were also warned. Shirai Kuroko quickly apologized with a smile, while Misaka Mikoto remained silent and sat there blankly.

"Big sister..."

Looking at the distraught Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko could never have imagined her in this state. After all, Misaka Mikoto always seemed so powerful and confident, as if nothing in the world could defeat her.

But now... Misaka Mikoto seems to have lost, lost to herself, and Shirai Kuroko, who aspires to be Misaka Mikoto's pillar of support, is completely at a loss as to how to persuade Misaka Mikoto.

Shirai Kuroko glanced at her watch, finally finding an excuse, and said softly, "Onee-sama, it's almost curfew time, so should we go back to the dorm first and come see this kind person again after school tomorrow..."

"Kuroko."

Misaka Mikoto interrupted Shirai Kuroko, and upon hearing Misaka Mikoto call her Kuroko directly, Shirai Kuroko perked up and nervously replied, "Yes, I'm here, Onee-sama, Kuroko is always here!"

"I'll call you Heizi from now on, you don't mind, do you? Thank you so much for what you did earlier. If it weren't for you, his last chance of survival might have been lost."

"No... I don't mind at all! That person saved Onee-sama, so it's only right that Kuroko risked her life to save him!"

Shirai Kuroko became excited. She was also struggling with her relationship with Misaka Mikoto, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better today.

We really should thank this mysterious and kind person!

However, seeing Misaka Mikoto's still dejected look, Shirai Kuroko's earlier excitement vanished once again.

Author's Note:

This is the second update; this is the fourth update today.

016 This is my decision

Was this incident really such a big blow to her older sister?

However, Shirai Kuroko's doubts were immediately confirmed by Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto raised her head, and her eyes, which always shone with confidence and light, seemed to dim considerably at this moment. Moreover, there was a kind of persistence in those eyes that Shirai Kuroko could not understand but felt uneasy about.

Misaka Mikoto... what is she trying to insist on?

"Big sister..."

"Kuroko, please tell the dorm supervisor for me that I'm not going back to the school dormitory tonight... no, until he wakes up. I'm going to stay here with him from today onwards."

Kuroko's pupils contracted, and she stared in disbelief. Instinctively, she tried to dissuade Misaka Mikoto, saying, "Onee-sama!"

"No matter how the dorm supervisor punishes me, or how Tokiwadai punishes me, or how the research institute punishes me, it doesn't matter. Oh, by the way, if it's convenient, could you please ask them for leave for me? I'm..."

Misaka Mikoto pulled her phone out of her pocket, but it was charred black. She said, "My phone is completely ruined."

"sister!"

At this moment, Shirai Kuroko finally had a chance to speak. Her eyes widened, filled with disbelief and incomprehension, and she said, "Onee-sama, you can't be impulsive!"

“No, I’m not acting impulsively,” Misaka Mikoto shook her head slightly and said, “I’ve been thinking about this since I first sat down here, and I’ve only just made up my mind now.”

Seeing the determination in Misaka Mikoto's eyes, Shirai Kuroko became even more panicked and said, "Onee-sama, do you understand what you're doing? That kind person... even if he survives by chance, given his condition... he might become a vegetable!"

"Big sister, has he become a vegetable? Are you planning to stay here and take care of him forever? Big sister, you're being too impulsive! That's not something that can be resolved in just a day or two, it's..."

"A lifelong responsibility, right?"

Misaka Mikoto remained calm, so calm that Shirai Kuroko's heart sank to the bottom.

"Big sister...you understand? Since you understand, then you shouldn't do this! Are you really going to say something like this so easily for someone whose name you don't even know? Big sister, are you crazy?!"

Misaka Mikoto sighed softly, smiled calmly, and said, "After all, there's nothing we can do about it!"

"But!"

“I understand, I understand. We don’t even know his name yet, and I’m supposed to say I’ll take care of him for the rest of my life and ruin my life for him? Don’t you think that’s stupid?”

Shirai Kuroko nodded immediately. She couldn't back down at this moment, otherwise her older sister would be on a path of no return.

"But Kuroko, you forgot one thing."

Shirai Kuroko was taken aback, and Misaka Mikoto smiled and continued, "Just a short while ago, he also rushed towards the lightning, pinned me down, and risked his life to save me, even though he probably didn't even know my name."

“Actually, we are both facing the same thing now. He gambled everything before, and now it’s my turn to pay for everything.”

It sounded reasonable, but Shirai Kuroko couldn't accept the logic in it. She continued loudly, "This is wrong, this is so wrong, it's completely wrong!"

“That’s right,” Shirai Kuroko’s eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a reason, and she said, “If this kind person still has any sense, he certainly wouldn’t want my sister to make such a decision. He would never allow my sister to sacrifice everything in the future just to repay him. That must be it!”

"Sister, you can't go against this kind person's wishes!"

Misaka Mikoto was still smiling and said, "Kuroko, I understand, but I should be the same as him."

"If I had had time to talk to him after that lightning strike, I would have said something similar, forbidding him from coming to help me, let alone risking his life to do so. I would rather die myself than allow this stranger to be involved."

"They're all...the same."

Misaka Mikoto sighed softly.

"Since my elder sister understands this, then we must not go against the good intentions of kind people!"

"I've already said it, they're all the same, aren't they?"

Misaka Mikoto's smile seemed to turn a little mischievous as she said, "Since he won't listen to me, then naturally I won't listen to him either. So, Kuroko, stop trying to persuade me."

"elder sister……"

"Please... Kuroko, stop trying to persuade me."

Misaka Mikoto's smile faded, and she lowered her head again, saying, "If I leave now, I will hate myself for the rest of my life, and I will hate you for the rest of my life, so... please stop trying to persuade me."

Seeing Misaka Mikoto return to this state, Shirai Kuroko fell silent, biting her lip, completely at a loss for what to do.

"I...I will do my best to help my older sister cover up the past tonight. My older sister can use tonight to think carefully about what to do."

"Big sister... according to Kuroko's opinion, it's not worth it!"

"There's no question of whether it's worth it or not; this is my decision."

The two fell silent. Shirai Kuroko remained silent for a long time before finally turning and leaving. She knew how persistent her older sister was; otherwise, she wouldn't have such a captivating older sister.

Right now, what Misaka Mikoto probably needs is to calm down.

Kuroko finally left after asking the nurse to take care of Misaka Mikoto. The nurse noticed that something was wrong with Misaka Mikoto and kept glancing at her.

And Misaka Mikoto waited quietly, waiting for the results from the operating room, from dusk till sunset, and then until the hospital grew quieter and quieter, as if it were already late at night.

"I didn't expect you to still be here."

As Misaka Mikoto waited quietly, a voice suddenly appeared in her ear, which startled her. She hurriedly stood up and opened her eyes.
