Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

“No,” Momo said, holding Best’s hand and smiling calmly, “I know you trust me, and that’s why I’m even less likely to take advantage of that trust. I’m assuring you now that I will absolutely keep my promise today.”

"Your mission will be completed smoothly, and I will only take a small portion that is rightfully mine."

Best, who had been pursing his lips, paused slightly and said, "Something that belongs to you...?"

“Well,” Momo blinked, “I’ve lived in Academy City for a while, so it’s not unreasonable for me to take a few things with me. After all, Academy City is so big. Even if I take my things, Academy City will still be Academy City, right?”

Having calmed down a bit, Best seemed to remember something, and images of Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki appeared before her eyes.

“I understand, but you must promise to take Cao Qi away. I can feel that her happiness is with you.”

Momo was somewhat surprised and didn't understand why Best had suddenly said such a thing, since Momo didn't know about the relationship between Best and Misaki Shokuhou at this time.

However, Mo Mo still agreed, saying, "I guarantee it. She has my mark on her, but she is my partner. How can I let her leave like this, especially since she has fallen into the hands of the SOS Brigade?"

Upon hearing this, Best finally nodded, not only agreeing with Momo's words, but seemingly indicating a deeper meaning.

"So, Best, our deal is approved. Do you agree? Now we're no longer strangers; at least we're partners in a small way, right?"

"I would rather die than ruin your mission. Now, can we trust each other?"

Mo Mo stared intently at Best, making Best want to run away. However, Mo Mo held both her hands in his palms, and in the end, she could only look at Mo Mo and nod softly.

In an instant, the information that Momo, as the intermediary, had completed the transaction with Aleister and Best flashed through Momo's mind.

Author's Note:

This is the third update. Thank you blankman for the 6 monthly tickets and thank you book guest 9317622854 for the monthly ticket support. There is still a fourth update to go.

088 How about giving me some special privileges?

The transaction was over, and this was only the first day since Momo woke up.

This means that Momo regained his memories and powers on the first day, and also figured out what was happening in Academy City.

Moreover, Momo also solidified her position, established her relationships with the key figures involved in the incident, and secured her goals for the future in Academy City.

As for Aleister, Momo no longer needs to pay attention to him, because Aleister has now become a mere spectator, looking forward to the day of divine purification.

This means that the plans Aleister has are no longer of vital importance to him, and even if Momo touches on these things, he can still negotiate with Aleister.

On the other hand, as long as Momo maintains a good relationship with Best and does not violate the transaction authority to hinder Best's plans and tasks, nor prevent Best from completing the process and outcome of separating Academy City, then Momo will not be hindered by the Crimson World.

As for the SOS Brigade, that was probably the only thing Momo was worried about. However, when he regained his memories, he combined the information from Yui's side with the information that after he was sealed by Nagato Yuki, the barrier of the Infinite Stratos world was actually destroyed.

Although Momo doesn't yet know who did this, there's no doubt that SOS is in trouble, and it's a trouble that requires SOS to exert considerable, even all, effort to fight.

In other words, Momo will at least not face the SOS Brigade again for now, because Momo is currently under Best's supervision, and Momo has promised not to cause trouble, so Best will definitely not report Momo to her superiors, let alone the SOS Brigade.

For Momo, all of this meant time and opportunity.

Faced with the current situation and the possibility of a direct confrontation with the SOS Brigade, what can Momo do?

At this moment, it seems that no one knows what Momo is thinking. Best probably wouldn't even think about it, because Momo has already assured her, and as a guarantee, there is also the power of the transaction authority.

However, Aleister looked at Momo with a thoughtful expression, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Oh, right, Best."

Mo Mo suddenly remembered something and said, "I forgot to ask you just now, if I leave, will you be punished?"

Best shook his head and said, "My main task is to strip Academy City of its assets; everything else is secondary. You are the administrator, and anything can happen to you, so even if you leave, I will not be punished."

"Furthermore, our Crimson World is not a strict hierarchical system; most of the time, everyone's actions are voluntary. I also wanted to do something, which is why I accepted the invitation to come to Academy City."

Mo Mo frowned slightly. So that's how it is.

However, this also fits the original definition of the Crimson World. Although there are various organizations, the vast majority of Crimson World Lords and Apostles are independent. Even if they form organizations, they are only temporarily intertwined because they have a common goal or purpose.

In essence, the Red World is not a mature social system.

Can such a system guarantee its combat effectiveness?

Although it seems that the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer is already at a godlike level.

Mo Mo stopped thinking about it and smiled as she reached into Best's hood, gently kneading Best's ears. Best struggled for a few seconds, but in the end, she remained silent, lowered her head slightly, and gave up resisting.

Anyway, no matter how much she resisted Momo's groping, it wouldn't stop, and Best also knew very well that she couldn't bring herself to hurt Momo for the time being.

"It seems the deal is over."

Looking at Best's obedient and even coy demeanor, Aleister said, "As a sign that we have now established a relationship of trust, is there anything you need me to do? Whether it's life in Academy City or the implementation of your plans."

Upon hearing this, Best shook his head and said, "I'm fine, and I really enjoy life in Academy City. You can even let me continue my missions in the Dark Side, after all, it's just a small favor for me."

"As for the mission, you can leave it to me alone; it's my responsibility. Also, regarding your plans... I think you're aware of them. Try your best to prevent the world from continuing to focus its attention on Academy City, otherwise it will only increase my burden."

"So, you mean reducing the world's hostility towards Academy City... Unfortunately, the hostility of enemies towards Academy City is not something I can decide. However, I can assure you that I will restrain my behavior."

After saying that, Aleister finally took a step, seemingly wanting to leave. At this moment, Momo quickly interrupted, saying, "Hey, Aleister, don't ignore me! We're on good terms now, can you give me some special privileges?"

"For example, give me some A-level access to the Academy City's external network, the highest level of access to the library, the right to access the computational resources of the tree diagram designer, give me the position of chairman, and incidentally give me the authority to mobilize a few secret agents, that would be the best!"

Upon hearing this, Aleister said, "How about I hand over the chairmanship to you?"

"Oh! You're very generous. Then let's make a deal. I won't let you lose out; I'll give you a thousand years of lifespan!"

Momo activated his trading power, but Aleister refused the trade without hesitation, saying, "Although Academy City is just a tool of mine, it is still something I built with my own hands."

"Considering the current situation, I won't interfere with what you do, but I won't let you run rampant. Also, if you want anything in Academy City, you can do it yourself."

"Best doesn't understand your thoughts, but I do. Take care of yourself, guest of the upper world."

After saying that, Aleister disappeared. The stingy Aleister obviously had no intention of giving Momo any special treatment, which made Momo shake his head. Is it true that people who get old and become cunning are destined to be shrewd?

I should learn from Mo Mo and keep a youthful mindset!

Look at how well Momo and Best get along now, and how cute Best's rosy cheeks are!

"Then, I'll be leaving too."

Seeing Aleister leave, Best pulled out Momo's playful hand and then pointed at the robot behind her. The robot Phosphorus immediately transformed back into an ornament on Best's body.

"Huh?" Mo Mo seemed quite surprised and said, "It's so late, why don't you come back to the hotel with me?"

"Don't worry, I'll treat you. You're so petite and cute, I don't mind if you squeeze in with me."

Best squinted and rolled his eyes at Mo Mo, then left without looking back, saying, "Cao Qi is still waiting for me, and I'm really tired. Goodbye."

Having declined Momo's invitation, Best's figure disappeared from Momo's sight at a normal pace.

But don't forget, although Best's speed seems ordinary, the surrounding area is currently experiencing a thousand times acceleration.

Both Best and Aleister have broken through the thousand-fold speed barrier, and they don't seem to have any difficulty communicating with Momo normally.

"That's a thousand times faster..."

Mo Mo shook his head slightly, seemingly somewhat helpless. Was the thousand-fold acceleration, which used to be one of Mo Mo's main abilities, now useless?

Should we consider having another friendly conversation with Kayaba Akihiko and using his trump card, the Million-Fold Acceleration?

With a million-fold speedup, it should last for a while longer, right?

As for Kayaba Akihiko, Mo Mo wasn't worried, because he believed he could always get Kayaba Akihiko to agree happily!

After everyone left, Momo looked at Touma Kamijou, who was still standing there in a daze. To Momo's surprise, Touma Kamijou's right hand was also covered in blue light.

Acceleration... It actually works on Imagine Breaker?

However, Momo immediately realized that the quantum acceleration was actually the acceleration of Momo's own thoughts, and not something done to the surrounding world, so there was no anomaly and it would not trigger Imagine Breaker.

As for Best and Aleister, it was ineffective because their strength far surpassed that of mortals; that was all.

With that thought, Momo withdrew his power and prepared to say goodbye to Kamijou Touma.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything... Wow!"

Kamijou Touma was startled, as if he had witnessed something unbelievable.

"Your mentally ill friend... cough cough, where is your companion? Why has he/she disappeared?"

Mo Mo smiled and stared at Touma Kamijou, making Touma feel uneasy. Touma waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Ha, ha, Mr. Kamijou, it was just a slip of the tongue. It's definitely not because I'm being blunt. Haha, you have to believe me!"

"Fine, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it."

Mo Mo shrugged and said, "Let's just assume that guy in all green is an impatient ability user. Once he saw that we succeeded, he just left."

"Could he be a high-level spatial ability user? That's amazing! He really can disappear in an instant, without even a sound. No wonder you said he could protect us."

"So now, what about you? Your memories... have returned?"

Mo Mo nodded and said, "Thanks to you, I am really grateful and I am thinking about how to repay you."

"Didn't I already say that treating me to a decent meal would be enough? Besides, I didn't do anything special, I just reached out a hand. If you really want to thank someone, thank this hand, okay?"

Touma Kamijou extended his right hand. Imagine Breaker, as the world's benchmark, has the ability to forcibly restore anything abnormal in this world to normal.

"Although this force often leaves me feeling helpless, it can be useful sometimes, which is a small comfort to me."

Mo Mo looked at Kamijou Touma's right hand, a thought flashed through his mind, and he said, "Kamijou Touma, have you ever thought that if someone could take away the power that brings you misfortune, would you give it up?"

"While he may help you, he'll also bring you more misfortune, won't he?"

Kamijou Touma was taken aback, looking at his hands. He really hadn't thought about this kind of question. Could one just discard their abilities?

"How could such a thing be possible..."

Author's Note:

PS: Thanks to blankman for the 6 monthly tickets and to bookgoer 9317622854 for the 1 monthly ticket. This is the first of three updates today. I expect to start making up for missed updates tomorrow.

089 Coincidentally, I have money.

Touma Kamijou subconsciously dismissed Momo's words, after all, he had experienced firsthand just how powerful the force in his hands was over the years.

This is a strange power that is confined to Touma Kamijou's right hand. This makes the power weak at times, and it seems to have taken away Touma Kamijou's luck as well, making him use "What a misfortune" as his catchphrase.

This is why Touma Kamijou dislikes the power he wields.

However, over the years, the power of this hand has helped Touma Kamijou many times, including some incidents that put him in danger.

Therefore, Touma Kamijou is no longer so averse to the power of this hand, even though he has wondered if the bad luck he experienced in the past was also a result of this hand.

Therefore, when Momo suddenly suggested that he could take his power away, Touma Kamijou was not only skeptical, but also at a loss.
