Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The Crimson World Demon King's flames are no ordinary flames; they are flames that burn away the power of existence. If a person's power of existence is burned away, then all traces of their existence in the world will disappear.

No one remembers him, there are no traces of him, and there will be no trace of him in the past or future. This person has been wiped off the track of history.

Although she didn't know how effective her flames would be on Momo, Best instinctively withdrew her flames to prevent Momo's hand from coming into direct contact with them, given Momo's disregard for her hand.

However, before Best could react, Momo's hand had already slipped inside Best's hood and gently tugged at Best's ear.

A blush visibly spread across Best's cheeks, but this time, rather than feeling shy, Best felt more anger, because her reluctance towards Momo had been exploited by him.

"Don't be angry, Best, Aleister and I haven't actually done anything yet."

Momo could naturally see through Best's expression, and without giving Best a chance to build up her anger, she immediately began to explain to Best.

"To put it simply, I made a deal with Aleister. The deal was that he would tell me your secret, and I would find a way to get him to reach a mutual trust agreement with you."

Momo's explanation undoubtedly calmed Best's anger considerably. After all, one only has one head, and if one is thinking about Momo's words, one naturally can't care less about being angry.

Taking this opportunity, Momo skillfully softened Best's wary, erect cat ears, gradually making them limp and softly nestled in Momo's palm.

Best's blush hadn't faded, but she remained calm and looked at Aleister, saying, "You still don't believe me, you don't believe us."

"I have no reason to trust you, nor do I trust your foundation. Our trust is built on your power, which I cannot resist, isn't it?"

“This is not trust; I am simply following orders and staying quiet.”

Best became somewhat dejected again because of Aleister's words. It seemed that not being trusted and not being expected of was something that was very difficult for her to accept.

Momo witnessed all of this, gently put her arm around Best's shoulder, rolled her eyes at Aleister, and said, "Hey, you upside-down man, why are you targeting Best? She's just a cute kid!"

Aleister's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the two people's posture.

You know she's just a child!

However, Aleister wouldn't complain. He continued, "Since you two are on such good terms, things will be much easier. Momer's abilities can help us build a relationship of trust. It's up to you to choose."

Upon hearing this, Best looked at Momo, then pulled Momo's hand out of his hood and held it in his hand, saying, "What exactly is going on, and what are you planning to do?"

"To put it simply, can you tell me your secret?"

Best narrowed his eyes and shook his head without hesitation, saying, "That's impossible. The more you know, the more it will affect the development of the plan. This is absolutely forbidden."

Despite Best's resolute stance, Momo remained unfazed, saying, "No, perhaps the opposite is true. If we can establish a relationship of trust, we can help each other and make it easier for you to complete your plans."

Best shook his head and said, "No need, I'm enough on my own."

Clearly, Best remained steadfast in his stance. Aleister, looking at Momo, perhaps trying to provoke him, said, "If you don't have any other means, our deal should end here. You can forget everything I told you before."

Mo Mo sighed and said, "Never mind, although this doesn't suit my aesthetic, it's probably the only option at this point."

"Best, how about we make a deal?"

Best frowned and said, "A deal... Ah!"

Best also instantly sensed the presence of the trading authority, feeling that irresistible power. She looked at Mo Mo in surprise and said, "Administrator..."

"Yes, this is my power."

Momo smiled and withdrew his hand from Best's grasp, tucked it into Best's hood, and gently pinched Best's ear, saying, "Now we'll make a deal. You tell me the secret of your operation as a condition, and I'll propose a solution that you can accept."

"If the deal goes through, there's nothing more to say. If the deal fails, I'll forget everything you told me, and I won't try to learn your secrets again."

"Best, how about giving me a chance to find out the cause and effect of all this? This is also a chance to resolve the problems on Aleister's side. Otherwise, if this middle-aged man like Aleister, who's experiencing a midlife crisis, keeps making things difficult for you, you'll be heartbroken, won't you?"

Momo's words seemed to have an effect, or perhaps the right to trade relieved Best of her worries. Although the robot behind her seemed to be protesting with mechanical noises, Best finally nodded hesitantly.

"I can tell you that I'm giving you a chance, but... you only get one chance. If you can't satisfy me with the outcome, I will handle everything in Academy City myself from now on and won't let you interfere with anything anymore."

"If you continue to resist by then, we will have no choice but to fight."

Author's Note:

Second update

087 I only took a little of my things.

Under the influence of his trading power, Best finally lowered his guard for the time being and decided to tell Momo some of the truth.

Even so, Best remained very cautious and did not reveal much information.

"I will only tell you my mission. My mission is to use my power to create a self-existing law to sever the existence power of the entire Academy City from the existence power of this world. At that time, the entire Academy City will disappear from this world and become something that never existed."

"And that's what I'm going to do."

"After that, due to the disappearance of Academy City, the existence power of the entire world will be disrupted, and the existence of this place will form a void. This void is the gate to the Crimson World, at which time the Crimson World will come to this world and launch an attack on the gods of this world."

"This is our plan."

After saying that, Best looked at Aleister and said, "Since you have made a deal, you should understand that we have two goals: one is Academy City itself, and the other is to achieve the purification of the entire world."

“Aleister, you don’t care about Academy City, but you can witness and feel the divine purity of the world with your own eyes. If the mystery of this world disappears, your power will also weaken and disappear, and that will be the best proof.”

"That's all I'll tell you. If you still can't trust me, then I won't try to gain your trust in the future. Just like you said before, you just need to wait patiently, Aleister."

After speaking, Best looked at Momo with a gentlemanly gaze, as if waiting for Momo to fulfill his promise.

Similarly, Aleister looked at Momo. Now that Best had already revealed many facts, how could Momo establish trust among the three of them?

"Aleister, do you believe Best now? At least the Crimson World does want to achieve divine purification. As for whether they will succeed in the end, that's another question."

"Next, as long as I can reach a deal with Best, it means that what Best said is true, a fact guaranteed by the power of the deal. In that case, our deal will be considered complete, and I will prove to you that the purpose of the Crimson World is indeed to achieve divine purification."

Do you agree?

Aleister nodded slightly and said, "I agree."

After speaking, Aleister nodded to Best, seemingly indicating that the two had rebuilt a relationship of trust through Momer's mediation.

"But, Momo, how did you gain Best's trust? I'm very curious."

As Aleister's voice rang out, Best and Momo locked eyes, and Momo could almost see a hint of expectation in Best's eyes.

Perhaps Best herself didn't want Momo to become a complete stranger again. Did she really want to push their already close relationship away again?

And what will Momo do?

"Before I give you my final answer, Best, I need to confirm something; this is a very important question."

Best's expression also turned serious. He said, "Go ahead and tell me. I'll tell you anything that's not classified now."

Do you like me?

"boom!"

Mo Mo, who had been kicked to the ground by Best, struggled to his feet and said, "Ahem, let's lighten the mood. Look how cold everyone's been lately, it's gotten to the point where no one even knows how to complain anymore."

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

Mo Mo's expression also turned serious, and he casually took Best's hands in his palms and said, "Best, your mission is to sever the connection between Academy City's existence power and the outside world, right?"

"Yes."

"So, can I understand it this way: your mission will be complete the moment Academy City's existence power completely loses contact with the outside world?"

Best frowned and said, "That's right."

"In other words, after that, how the Crimson World uses Academy City and how it treats Academy City is someone else's problem. Whether you need to be responsible for the safety of Academy City and whether you need to protect the safety of Academy City?"

Best shook his head and said, "No need. Theoretically speaking, after severing the connection with the power of existence, Academy City is an isolated part of the real world, and no one can threaten Academy City."

"At that time, 'Explorer Dantalio' will be in charge of receiving it along with... them, and that will no longer be my responsibility."

"I can sense the trend of development, and I can also sense the changes in the power of existence. Moreover, I have enough power to do this task step by step."

At this point, Best looked at Momo with a puzzled expression and asked, "Is there a problem with this?"

"Then can you tell me what the Crimson World needs Academy City for? Is it planning to sacrifice Academy City to gain the power of existence?"

Best immediately shook his head and said, "That's impossible. We wouldn't do such a thing. The Crimson World doesn't lack the power of existence right now, and... Academy City is something that other forces need. You can rest assured that at least the safety of everyone in Academy City is not a problem."

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo softly uttered a few words, saying, "Is it the SOS Brigade?"

Best didn't answer, but sometimes not answering is a form of tacit agreement.

Momo fell silent, and he began to think again. Although Best tried to keep it a secret, he still revealed a lot of crucial information.

The SOS Brigade and the Crimson World should be considered partners... no, at least cooperative partners, in their cooperation during this operation to attack the Academy City world.

Crimson World's interest in Academy City is hard to understand, but if it were the SOS Brigade who were interested in Academy City, then it wouldn't be surprising at all.

As for what kind of deal the SOS Brigade made with the Crimson World, that was something Mo Mo didn't know. It's likely that the SOS Brigade also contributed to this operation.

Now, Mo Mo finally has a clear understanding of everything that is happening in Academy City. It is clear that Mo Mo was accidentally drawn into this operation, which should not have been the level Mo Mo was facing.

However, now that he was here, Mo Mo wasn't going to do nothing.

Moreover, Academy City is something the SOS Brigade needs, and Momo is currently in Academy City. Momo still remembers the pain of dying at the hands of Nagato Yuki.

This was the first time Momo had died in over a hundred years, and he died so badly that not even a trace remained. It must have been incredibly painful!

However, with Best as her obstacle, Momo is unlikely to allow Momo to disrupt her plans. At least until the Crimson World launches a full-scale invasion and Best completes the handover with Dantalio, Best will not allow Momo to do anything to Academy City.

So, what should Momo do?

Turning against Best?

How can it be!

As Mo Mo kneaded Best's ears and watched her serious and determined expression, a blush rising on her cheeks that she couldn't hide, she wished she could hold Best's petite body in her arms.

Such a cute and easy-to-train pet... cough cough, cute girl, how could Mo Mo bear to fall out with her?

No one knows what Momo is thinking right now. Even Aleister seems very curious, because in his view, Momo seems to be in a desperate situation and can't escape the vortex of this conflict no matter what.

What Momo said next completely surprised Best.

Momo took Best's hand and said, "Then, here is my solution."

“I promise that I will not jeopardize your mission, Best, and may even help you complete it. If I break this oath, I will give you my life. No matter how you punish me, or even if you burn me to ashes, I will do it willingly.”

Momo's words caused Best's pupils to suddenly contract, and even the hostile robot behind Best seemed to rust and stand motionless.

With the guarantee of the trading power, if Momo makes it impossible for Best to complete his mission, then death is the only thing waiting for Momo. Even if Momo is the master of the trading power, he cannot escape the restrictions of the transaction.

"Why...why make such a promise!"

Best's eyes flickered, as if wavering, or perhaps filled with anger and unease, as he said, "Do you think I have to give you a reason before I'll trust you?"
