Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

As Touma listened to Momo's words, he felt even more relaxed. It seemed that this powerful ability user was an easy person to talk to, even though he still had Momo's flesh and blood in his hands... Hmm, that word seemed a bit strange?

Well, never mind, it seems like Mr. Kamijou Touma's ordeal is over for today?

Glancing at the two boxes of eggs on the ground that were completely destroyed, and the cell phone that had been retired after only three days of service, Touma Kamijou pressed his head in frustration. Why did he always have to do good deeds?

Why can't he control this kind-hearted person who causes him trouble?

Never mind, it's all over now. I'll apologize to the patient again. After all, even if he recovers, he must be in unbearable pain just now.

Even though the other person looked... as if they weren't in any pain at all.

Thinking of this, Touma Kamijou focused his gaze on Mo Mo, but to his surprise, he found that Mo Mo was already sitting on the ground.

"Um...sir, what's wrong?"

Mo Mo gave a friendly smile and said, "What, didn't you hear what I just said?"

"Ah, yes, Mr. Kamijou, I shamefully spaced out, so could you please say it again?"

"Listen up, Touma Kamijou."

Mo Mo's smile became even more amiable.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch! My arm was broken by Touma Kamijou and I fell down. I need Touma Kamijou to compensate me before I can stand up!"

Touma Kamijou's smile vanished.

At this moment, Touma Kamijou realized that his misfortune would continue.

"Unfortunate!"

……

"incredible!"

Kamijou covered his face in front of everyone; his already miserable face was now filled with tears.

"Utterly shameless!"

Touma Kamijou tried to get someone's attention, but it was clear that the person's shamelessness was beyond Touma's imagination.

"Leave me a bite!"

Kamijou Touma finally broke down. His stomach was growling, but he could only endure the hunger as he watched Momo eat his favorite bitter melon snail hell lasagna for the third night.

However, reality is cruel. Momo not only didn't leave any noodles for Kamijou Touma, but also drank every last drop of the soup.

"Ah, delicious! The greatest happiness in life is being able to enjoy a good meal, don't you think, Touma Kamijou?"

The two were in a restaurant at the time and had already briefly exchanged names.

"Ah, yes, but the greatest misfortune in life is to treat someone to a meal while you have to go hungry and watch them eat with relish."

"Oh, you're hungry too? In that case, let me order one for you. Don't be so polite, Touma Kamijou."

"I won't be polite with you, but I'll be polite with my own wallet! It's only the beginning of July, and I've already spent four-fifths of my living expenses for this month!"

Mo Mo shook his head helplessly and said, "So, young people, you need to be thrifty and frugal. Thrift is a virtue. For example, I am penniless today but I am still eating happily and contentedly."

"The fact that you can say such a shameless thing makes me even more convinced that knowing you was one of the biggest mistakes of my life!"

Faced with Momo's shamelessness, Touma Kamijou, who had to atone for the sins that had harmed Momo, could only weep and endure.

After silently crying for a few seconds, Touma Kamijou suddenly realized that Mo Mo had stopped making a sound. He looked up and found that Mo Mo was smiling at him again.

In an instant, Touma Kamijou understood what it meant to have his hair stand on end. At that moment, all he wanted to do was turn around and run far away from Momo, this jinx, and return to his impoverished dormitory to savor the pain of poverty.

"Um... Mr. Momo, how about letting Mr. Kamijou go? Mr. Kamijou's wallet really can't take the toll of your stomach. You see, you're not actually hurt. How about we end our pleasant acquaintance here today?"

Kamijou Touma asked cautiously, but Mo Mo looked surprised and said, "Huh? Didn't you say you'd let me stay overnight?"

"I never said that, absolutely never! Mr. Kamijou has an extraordinary memory. If I had said such a thing, may I be struck by lightning!"

"Can you really bear to watch a weak man like me sleep alone on the streets?"

First update of the day

062 As expected... is selling one's body the only option left?

"If you are a weak man, then am I just an infant in swaddling clothes?"

"Now I understand. When you were surrounded by those delinquents, it was all on your own, wasn't it? You deliberately let them cause trouble and then used them as prey, right?"

"I've personally witnessed such a highly capable individual. You're actually deliberately messing with me to vent your anger, aren't you!"

Kamijou Touma's series of questions actually stumped Mo Mo for a moment. Mo Mo pinched his chin, thinking, "So Kamijou Touma may seem pathetic, but he's actually quite clever."

"Now that you see even the slightest bit of appreciation for me in your eyes, Mr. Kamijou only feels pathetic."

Touma Kamijou sighed and said, "Tell me, Momo, what's wrong with you? What difficulties are you facing? If you really need help, I won't stand idly by."

Mo Mo was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly his expression turned serious, and he said, "Touma..."

"No, please call me Mr. Kamijou. Otherwise, if we suddenly become so close, I'll think I'm only one step away from bankruptcy!"

"Alright then, Touma Kamijou, actually I was scammed by a shady hospital."

Kamijou Touma was stunned for a moment and said, "We've been scammed, our hospital has been ripped off?"

“That’s right,” Mo Mo said with sincerity in his eyes. “A while ago, I was burned by a landmine in an accident. It was so severe that even my abilities couldn’t repair it immediately.”

"So, I was sent to the hospital. After a few days of treatment, I recovered, and I thought I had found a good hospital. But guess how much they charged me for medical expenses?"

Touma Kamijou blinked and asked, "How much?"

"Four hundred million yen!"

"puff!"

Touma Kamijou, who had just taken a sip of water to try and suppress his rumbling stomach, immediately spat it out. Luckily, Momo reacted quickly and didn't get sprayed on his face.

"Four...four hundred million yen! You're not kidding me, are you?!"

"How could that be? We're such good friends, why would I lie to you? Besides, you're so smart, Touma Kamijou, do you think I could fool you?"

Touma Kamijou's eyes were full of suspicion, while Momo continued, "This amount of money is so large, I must have been scammed. Even cloning one of my individuals wouldn't cost this much, would it?"

"I strongly suspect that they are after my abilities and want to use this method to force me to comply and do this or that unspeakable research with them."

"So, I ran away from the hospital. Now I'm penniless, and all my documents are still at the hospital. As the hospital, they are naturally in a strong position and have detailed bills. I guess they will contact the police."

Mo Mo's face was filled with worry and sorrow, and he spoke as if it were the truth, saying, "Therefore, I need someone to help me now, at least to give me a place to stay for the time being."

"Touma Kamijou, I know you're a good person. As a kind-hearted person, would you be willing to help this lonely and helpless old man?"

Kamijou Touma, who had been keeping his eyes narrowed, said, "Ah... I almost believed it."

"So you're telling me to trust you, the one who tricked me, instead of trusting a reputable hospital or the security guards?"

"Touma Kamijou isn't a three-year-old child, nor is he a cynical, immature teenager. Compared to you, I feel the security guards and the big hospital are more trustworthy. So, Momo-kun, whatever mistake you've made, it's best to honestly confess and be lenient."

Mo Mo looked at Touma Kamijou with surprise, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I shouldn't have trusted you. The only people you can get help from are girls."

"There's no other way. If all else fails, I'll have to fall into darkness. Since the light of Academy City can't protect me, I'll transform into darkness, hide in it, and become Kami of the night!"

Kamijou Touma glanced at Mo Mo sideways and said, "Playing the chuunibyou isn't allowed either. Mr. Kamijou is a man who has seen all kinds of shameless people in countless battles. If you really need to stay overnight, tell me your reasons honestly. Mr. Kamijou Touma is not an inflexible person."

"However, if you want to use Kamijou Touma's love nest as a hiding place, I'm sorry, Mr. Kamijou Touma must absolutely refuse. This is the most basic self-protection."

"So, tell me, what exactly is going on with you?"

However, Momo sighed but did not intend to tell Touma everything, because Momo herself had not sorted out many things yet, after all, Momo was still suffering from amnesia.

Wait... amnesia?

Mo Mo suddenly remembered something and looked thoughtfully at Touma Kamijou's hand, wondering if the legendary Imagine Breaker could be put to use.

But how are we supposed to use this thing? Are we supposed to let Touma Kamijou put his hand inside his head?

If we do that, considering what just happened... unless Momo is really tired of living, right?

"my hand?"

When Kamijou Touma saw Momo looking at his hand, he said, "Ah, my hand. Its ability is very strange. I don't know the specific reason, but it can destroy other people's superpowers."

"That's probably why you were injured, given your physical enhancement abilities. But you're really amazing; you've managed to penetrate every single cell in your body with your physical enhancements."

Momo didn't answer Touma Kamijou, but continued to consider the usability of Imagine Breaker, and finally made a decision.

"Touma Kamijou, I've made up my mind."

Touma Kamijou was taken aback. Why was this guy acting so unpredictably? But whatever, Touma Kamijou didn't care about these details anyway.

"Oh, what have you decided?"

"I've made up my mind. You can forgive your debt to me. Be grateful for my generosity!"

"Mr. Kamijou Touma already paid back what he owed you with three big bowls of bitter melon and snail hell lasagna. Do you still want to blackmail me with that?"

Although he was complaining, Touma Kamijou still understood what Mo Mo meant and said, "You mean you're not going to ask me to stay the night? I don't mind."

"Have you come up with any ideas yet? You just said you're penniless, and you've lost all your documents and identification. Are you still trying to trick someone into taking you home?"

Mo Mo rolled her eyes and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I lie? Am I that kind of person?"

"If I'm going to do it, I'll do it honorably, so that the other party is convinced and both of us are in a pleasant state, and use that pleasure to repay the price of my lodging."

"Um... please forgive my ignorance, Mr. Kamijou, but I don't understand. What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Isn't that simple?"

Mo Mo glanced at Touma Kamijou with surprise and said, "This world is cruel. When someone is penniless and has no proof of identity, what is the most appropriate thing to do in a strange city, especially under the cover of darkness..."

Touma Kamijou's lips twitched wildly, because he already had a premonition that this strangely individual was definitely not going to say anything serious.

Regardless, I should drink some water to calm my nerves first.

"...Of course, it's selling one's body!"

Pfft! *n

This time, it wasn't just Touma Kamijou who was spraying water; almost every student sitting next to him, whether they were eating, drinking, or chatting, sprayed out everything they could from their mouths.

It turned out that although Touma Kamijou and Momo's voices weren't loud, they hadn't tried to lower them, and the people around them could still hear them.
