Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Two fair hands reached out and met Mo Mo's head. Instead of giving Mo Mo a hug, they grabbed Mo Mo's cheeks and started tearing at them.

What are you going to do?

"It's nothing, just helping you straighten your crooked hood. You see, both my hands are busy, so I have no choice but to use my mouth?"

After saying that, Mo Mo's eyes shone with honesty, and his face seemed to say, "Trust me."

Unfortunately, a hint of disdain flashed in Best's eyes as he said, "I can feel it; you're about to accidentally brush your lips against my forehead, nose, and lips. So I won't believe you now."

After saying that, Best gave Momo a hard shove, then nimbly jumped off Momo's arms and landed on the ground.

She pressed Aleister, saying, "Aleister, what exactly are you going to say?"

Author's Note:

First update

065 This is just a transaction.

Best's act of standing up for him touched Aleister somewhat, after all, compared to Momo's complete disregard for him, at least Best still remembered his existence.

However, his relationship with Best was destined to be bad. Although for now they were like-minded, Aleister had a feeling that this frivolous peace might not last.

"I just want to confirm whether this new person is your companion or comrade-in-arms. If so, I think we don't need to beat around the bush like this."

Upon hearing this, Best shook his head and said, "He is not my companion."

"Hey, hey, I'll be sad if you're so heartless!"

Ignoring Momo's words, Aleister continued, "But they don't seem to be enemies. So, can you tell me what your relationship is?"

Is it really that important?

"After all, I need to make a judgment based on his identity, to determine whether he is harmful or beneficial to us, whether he is our ally or our enemy. Isn't this kind of identity assessment important?"

Best nodded and looked at Momo, who tapped her cheeks with her index fingers and gave a cute smile, but was ignored by the emotionless loli Best.

"Just treat him like a stranger. He's none of our business, so don't worry about him."

"A passerby?"

Aleister looked at Momo with that same unchanging smile and said, "However, I don't think he's the kind of person who'll just sit around and be left alone. If left unattended, he'll definitely turn Academy City upside down."

"Best, since you can sense future trends, can you give me a definite answer as to whether his appearance will affect the future?"

Best nodded and said, "I can guarantee that the ending will not change. The world you expect is consistent with our goal, and its appearance will not change the final solution."

The two were talking in a cryptic way. Mo Mo shrugged helplessly and said, "Playing riddles is so boring. Want to join in? Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped."

Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to Momo. This time, it was Best and Aleister who stared at each other. It was clear that there was a considerable conflict between the two, and this conflict seemed to be intensifying.

However, Momo's interruption seemed to have gotten him into trouble again. Aleister turned his gaze to Momo and said, "Since he is a completely irrelevant passerby, and his appearance is unrelated to the final outcome, does that mean that his disappearance is also unrelated to the final outcome?"

Best suddenly looked up and said, "What do you mean by that?"

"It's very simple. His power, his origins, his performance—all of these things make me very interested in him, especially the fact that you are both from another world, which makes me quite curious."

"Although I've been staying here all this time, I'm still the chairman of Academy City. It's not an exaggeration to call myself a scholar, is it?"

"If the appearance and disappearance of this individual from another world have no impact on our goals, then could we use him as my experimental subject?"

As he spoke, Aleister continued to smile at Momo, while Momo felt as if he were being watched by a strange uncle.

At this moment, Mo Mo finally understood the terror of the upside-down man in front of him, especially when he had that chilling gay smile on his lips.

"No."

Unfortunately, Best rejected Aleister's suggestion without hesitation.

“His presence has a reason, but it has nothing to do with our purpose. Besides, I am here on someone's behalf to... take care of him, so I cannot let you harm him.”

Upon hearing this, Aleister was not disappointed at all; instead, his smile became even more relaxed. He said, "I see. Then I can roughly understand how to get along with this new guest from another world."

"He's not actually my guest, but yours, is that correct?"

Best pursed her lips; by now she understood that she seemed to have been tricked by Aleister. Although Best had been quite careful not to reveal any information, Aleister had seized upon her relationship with Momo.

Aleister's summary is not entirely accurate, but the essence is the same.

Best was responsible for looking after Momo. This meant that he could only watch over her, and he couldn't hit or scold her, let alone have any in-depth conversations with her.

While this wasn't difficult for Best, it was actually a limitation—a limitation imposed on Best by the appearance of Momer.

Now, Aleister seems intent on taking control of these restrictions.

“Aleister, that’s not how our cooperation is planned. You just need to wait patiently, and we will help you achieve everything you expect. You just need to accept the outcome.”

Why are you doing something unnecessary now?

Don't you trust me?

Aleister was still smiling as he said, "To be precise, you and the forces behind you suddenly appeared, suddenly suppressed us, and suddenly told us that you would realize my ideals for me."

Aleister's tone turned slightly cold as he said, "In the end, it's all just empty talk from you. The only thing I'm certain of is that you possess such power."

"However, having power is one thing, but whether you can fulfill your promises is another. I have always been the passive party, and I can only watch from the beginning, and I am afraid I can only continue to watch passively in the future."

"In a relationship like ours, there doesn't seem to be any trust whatsoever, does there?"

Aleister was always smiling, but now his smile seemed to be mocking, whether he was mocking himself or Best in front of him, it was hard to tell.

"So you don't need to explain anything to me. After all, I have no room to resist, and there's no need to worry about what I do. I just need to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. That's all I can do."

"From beginning to end, I only had one choice: to believe in you and the forces behind you, didn't I?"

Best remained silent, her expression hidden beneath her hood but visible to the five, though her voice was unusually clear.

You're right.

Best agreed with Aleister.

"Isn't this the right way? Compared to the previous communication pattern, I think we should clarify our relationship. Even though you are the one in charge, you seem to be obeying me. If it's just a superficial relationship, that's fine, but it seems that you've gotten used to all of this."

"This makes me feel extremely uneasy, after all, I am no match for your strength, and I can only watch what you do. Since that's the case, why do you have to show so much respect to me, a native?"

“If it’s simply based on etiquette, then there’s no need for that. We are not people who are bound by human customs and etiquette.”

Aleister's smile seemed to have gained a hint of pleasure: "So, speak now, Lord Best. What are your requests, and how should I treat your guest?"

Best seemed to have given up on continuing the conversation with Aleister and gave the order directly: "Arrange a normal identity for him and let him stay in Academy City for the time being. I think you know the details better than I do."

“Understood. You see, this makes our communication much simpler and more direct, Lord Best.”

Mo Mo, who had witnessed the whole thing, sighed, walked over to Best, placed her hand on Best's hooded head, and said, "Hey, you upside-down uncle, is it okay to bully a girl like this?"

A hand suddenly appeared on her head, causing Best to instinctively flinch. Beneath her hood were her hidden cat ears, something no one was allowed to touch, not even Misaki Shokuhou.

She was about to shake off Momo's hand when she suddenly heard what Momo said to Aleister, and her hand instinctively slowed down.

Then, Best lost his virginity.

Momo's sinister hand began to rub and knead Best's head, completely unaware that the face under the hood was almost petrified.

The first time... I just handed it over like that, even though it was through a layer of cloth...

"Although I don't understand what kind of deal you're making, it's obvious that Best is practically crying because of your targeting!"

"You're not getting any younger, and it seems you're not as strong as others? If you're not as strong, then you should either conserve your energy and wait for a comeback, or you should obediently sit down and become a subordinate."

"What's the difference between this ambiguous, sour attitude, outwardly obeying orders while secretly gossiping, and the gossipy old ladies at the market?"

Mo Mo's hands were still kneading, and the petite figure beneath them was trembling, shaking, as if she were truly crying out of grief.

Aleister looked at Best with some surprise, as if she didn't understand why Best would react this way.

"A transaction...that's a good word."

Aleister looked at Momo and said, "As you said, I have a deal with her. This is a matter between the two of us, and you have no right to interfere. After all, you are just Best's guest, not his companion."

"As for my attitude towards her, I can only say that it is out of respect. I regard her as an opponent of equal standing. Verbal exchanges are also a form of exchange, and in this respect, I am slightly better."

“We are just in a business relationship. If she is emotionally defeated because of a mere verbal exchange, it only shows her own inadequacy.”

Mo Mo smiled dismissively and said, "How heartless. You talk as if you're immune to emotional breakdowns caused by words."

"Alright then, Aleister, let's make a deal. The deal is that you'll also have an emotional breakdown because of my words, how about it?"

Aleister would definitely look down on Momo's brash and childish behavior of standing up for the girl, just as he had just dismissed Momo's accusation that he was deliberately targeting Best.

Just as Aleister was considering whether to refuse this jealous contest or take the opportunity to give this newcomer from another world a little hard time, a strange power entered his heart.

Aleister was stunned.

Aleister was stunned, as was Momo.

The deal Momo mentioned earlier was just a veiled reference to the bet; he had no other intentions.

Momo, who disapproved of Aleister's behavior, planned to use his foresight to tease Aleister a little. However, just like Aleister, he felt an immense power that was completely irresistible and could only be trusted and accepted.

This power seemed to originate from within Mo Mo's own body, but Mo Mo knew that his own body could not possibly contain it.

This is a power of energy, a power that only the supreme creator and controller can wield. Now that Momo has activated it, he is merely borrowing it.

This is the power of trading.

After the power appeared, it seemed to realize that Mo Mo lacked common sense about this power, so it filled Mo Mo's mind with relevant information again, making Mo Mo understand what this power was.

Trading rights.

This ability, bestowed upon Momo the King of Heroes by divine power from the supreme god Alaya, is used in accordance with the three principles of fairness, equivalence, and voluntariness, and within the limitations set by the supreme god Alaya, to assist Momo in completing Alaya's mission.

Current level LV6, additional skills: Trust, Confidentiality, Learning and Teaching, Storage, Listing for Trading, Remote Trading.

All the relevant information was implanted into Momo's mind at once, and the trading authority sent a message to Momo asking whether he wanted to continue the transaction with Aleister.

Momo, however, had no time to respond to the question about the trading power, as he had fallen silent because of this power that had suddenly appeared.

Without a doubt, Mo Mo was still suffering from amnesia at this time. Nagato Yuki's seal was stubborn and precise, sealing away all of Mo Mo's memories of coming to Academy City from the Path of Death in her previous life.
