Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Touma Kamijou knew very well that if this power were to leave him, it would mean that his life from childhood to adulthood would undergo earth-shattering changes, and could even completely alter Touma Kamijou's life.

The simplest question is, without Imagine Breaker, would Touma Kamijou still be a Level 0?

Who knows, in a split second, there's a possibility that Touma Kamijou, this LV0 academic failure, could super-evolve into a LV5 academic genius!

Such a possibility gradually began to churn in Touma Kamijou's mind, even though Touma knew that the possibility was very low.

"It seems you've thought about this a lot."

Momo seemed to understand Touma's hesitation and said, "What I can tell you is that this hand is very powerful. It will bring you a lot, but it will also cause you to encounter a lot and lose a lot."

"Moreover, although this is not my fault, I may have to express my regret to you, because this hand... will probably be useless for a long time."

Touma Kamijou, puzzled, asked, "What does this mean? Why are you being so mysterious? Do you know the power of this hand?"

"But then again, can you really... take this power away?"

"What, are you tempted?"

Touma Kamijou scratched his head and said, "I wouldn't say I'm smitten, after all..."

Touma Kamijou didn't know how to describe it. What was this feeling of both disgust and reluctance? It was just his hand, not his girlfriend!

"In that case, let's give it a try. Actually, I'm not entirely sure if I can take it with me."

After saying that, Momo tried to activate the transaction power on Touma Kamijou, but the information returned by the transaction power made Momo frown slightly and then shake his head.

"What? What happened?"

Touma Kamijou blinked, seemingly unaware of what was happening.

"Simply put, although this power is in your hands and can be used by you, it is not your power."

"This is not my power, this..."

"Perhaps you can understand it this way: this power is like a tool that has come into your hands and can be used by you, but that's all. It doesn't belong to you, and I suspect that this power doesn't even have an owner."

Momo explained the information he obtained from the transaction power, saying, "So, unfortunately, Touma Kamijou, your girlfriend is still yours, and my NTR plan has failed."

"Even though Touma Kamijou doesn't understand what you're saying, you're definitely up to no good, aren't you? Explain yourself, you bastard!"

Touma Kamijou seemed to have immediately forgotten what had just happened and started complaining about Momo. This was typical of Touma Kamijou; he didn't care about such annoying details and lived happily, even foolishly.

He didn't bother to ask what Momo's power was, or what his own power was. In any case, Touma Kamijou's standard of life was simply the emotions surging within him.

The direction of his actions lies within his own heart.

Afterwards, Momo bid farewell to Touma Kamijou, promising him a big meal.

After Aleister ruthlessly abandoned Momo and slipped away, Momo had no choice but to walk back to the hotel alone. However, Momo took this time to talk to Yui, who had returned, about the situation.

“Dad, Mom said that at least we should get Maple’s mom and Lihua’s mom to come over so they can help you.”

Yui seemed hesitant to speak, as if she wanted to tell Momo about everyone's decision, but Momo shook his head and said, "I understand everyone's intentions, but the Hall of Heroes is not what it used to be. Right now, Fengzi and Lihua must be very busy, right?"

“Lihua is alright. Although she is a symbolic ruler, she still influences a country, and her abilities are undeniable. As for Fengzi, she is currently in charge of managing the tenth level of Aincrad, which will probably be a test for her.”

"It's alright, Dad. Although Maple's mother has regained her human body, she still retains a quantum state clone because of her special nature."

"With these clones, many things can be handled by the clones online. She's quite free, so at least let Fengzi's mother come over, okay? After all, Dad will need someone next."

Yui continued to persuade Momo, even though she knew very well that the reason she brought Fengzi into this world was not so much to help Momo with her work, but so that Momo would at least have someone to look after her in times of danger.

It was even to make Momo the target of a gun.

This time, Mo Mo did not refuse, saying, "What you said makes sense, but let me settle down a bit first, since she would be of no use to me right now."

Mo Mo's response relieved Yui. Yui, who was initially somewhat dissatisfied with Fengzi's sudden rise to power, was now quite grateful for the addition of her. Otherwise, Mo Mo would have really had to act alone this time.

At the same time, Yui also began to deeply realize that the Hall of Heroes was still incredibly weak. Before, with Momo leading the way, things were alright, but now in the IS world, where were the nine Heroic Spirits of the Hall of Heroes? Let alone three plays, they couldn't even put on one play yet.

Indeed, it's a difference in numbers and capabilities.

"Yui, please give me a detailed analysis of the rewards and mechanics of the tenth floor of Valhalla. I need to refer to it."

"The reward for the tenth floor... Penglai Island?"

Yui was taken aback, but immediately realized what was going on and said, "Could it be Dad... I understand, I'll explain it to Dad right away."

After that, Momo listened to Yui's analysis the whole way, and gradually Momo came to a conclusion.

"It's not easy."

Mo Mo's expression was somewhat serious, and Yui nodded, saying, "That's right, Dad. It's extremely difficult because it's not just a matter of ownership. What's in front of you isn't something like Penglai Island that's unclaimed, nor is it the property of Aleister, but rather the Academy City itself, with its complex web of power dynamics."

"Moreover, that Crimson World being named Best doesn't have much time left for us. Right now, Dad is just someone whose identity has only just been confirmed, and he has almost nothing..."

Mo Mo agreed with Yui and said, "That's right. Right now, I have nothing but my identity. If I want to establish my image in Academy City, I need money, power, strength, reputation, and time. Unfortunately, all I have right now is money. It's a tough task."

Hearing Mo Mo's words, Yui suddenly smiled and said, "But Dad, none of this is a problem for you, is it?"

Mo Mo confidently replied to Yui, "Of course, I'm a businessman."

"Money is my weapon."

"And I happen to have plenty of money."

As the two chatted, Momo unknowingly returned to the hotel. Momo could have summoned various vehicles, even a floating warship piloted by robots, but he didn't.

Mo Mo wasn't in a hurry. Compared to rushing back to sleep, how could chatting with Yui be more enjoyable?

Although Yui acted normally, Mo Mo knew that the fear in Yui's heart had taken root, otherwise she would not have insisted on having Fengzi come to Mo Mo's side.

This behavior may not have a perfectly correct meaning, but it is a psychological comfort for everyone.

When Mo Mo returned to the hotel, it was already late at night, and even the staff of the high-end hotel had a hint of fatigue in their eyes.

However, when they saw that Mo Mo had not left the hotel but had instead returned to it, they were filled with surprise.

However, to Mo Mo's surprise, the surprise in the eyes of the front desk staff turned into delight.

"You're back, Mr. Mormer!"

This surprise left Mo Mo somewhat bewildered, but she quickly realized what had happened.

"Could it be... I'm really sorry, Misaka..."

Just as Mo Mo expected, the receptionist didn't say much to her, but immediately made a phone call. In less than a minute, a girl with brown hair and wearing pajamas appeared in front of Mo Mo.

"Hey, goodnight Mikoto, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Mo Mo's seemingly casual question was ignored. Misaka Mikoto came straight over, grabbed Mo Mo's hand, and led her to the elevator. They returned to Mo Mo's room, and then she pushed Mo Mo through the door.

Then, Misaka Mikoto walked in, slammed the door shut, locked it, and took out the room key.

The room key was removed, the power supply to the room was cut off, and the lights immediately went out, leaving only a dim brownish light in front of Mo Mo.

At the same time, thanks to her superb eyesight, Momo also noticed a glistening drop of water on Misaka Mikoto's chin.

"I thought... you left, just like that, without a word, and would never show up again..."

Misaka Mikoto finally spoke, her voice a little hoarse. Mo Mo hadn't seen Misaka Mikoto's expression from beginning to end, but he knew that her expression at this moment must be very painful for her.

Heartbroken, Mo Mo didn't explain anything, nor did he need to. So, Mo Mo simply pulled Misaka Mikoto into his arms, hugged her tightly, and then made his promise.

"I will never leave you, absolutely not."

Author's Note:

Second update

090 A peaceful night

Misaka Mikoto's reaction clearly indicates that she was frightened.

This also shows that she did not let go of Mo Mo's previous act of restarting their relationship as easily as she appeared.

She had previously trusted Mo Mo and restarted their relationship, but the shadow of Mo Mo's sudden departure still loomed over her.

Not long ago, unable to sleep, she wanted to say goodnight to Mo Mo, only to find that Mo Mo had disappeared without any warning.

After all, Momo didn't even take the room key with her, and the front desk staff didn't notice Momo's departure. This means that Momo truly disappeared into thin air, and the impact it had on Misaka Mikoto was probably no less than the impact she had not long ago.

This is the second time Momo has disappeared without saying goodbye. If the first time Momo disappeared, there was a reason for her to avoid medical expenses. So what does this second disappearance mean for Misaka Mikoto?

Could something have gone wrong?

An unexpected event was just the most ordinary and normal thought, but this thought didn't occupy much of Misaka Mikoto's brain capacity.

Misaka Mikoto's biggest thought was... that she had been abandoned.

Mo Mo's previous statements were all lies, merely a mockery of her. Now, Mo Mo's disappearance is an even greater mockery.

Otherwise, how could Mo Mo disappear without a trace? It must be the result of Mo Mo using his own abilities.

Misaka Mikoto even started to have wild thoughts: Could it be that everything between her and Mo Mo was just her own illusion, and that Mo Mo had never actually existed?

Or rather, this was all a dream. Like Misaki Shokuhou, she was now trapped in Momo's consciousness and hadn't escaped yet. Momo's awakening and the intimacy between the two of them... were all part of the dream?

What started as a beautiful dream... is about to turn into a nightmare?

If it weren't for her subsequent conversation with the receptionist, which dissuaded Misaka Mikoto from having this idea, she probably would have already been experimenting on herself to see if this place was reality or a dream.

Fortunately, it's all over now, and the wavering girl's heart has been calmed down again because of Mo Mo's embrace.

Misaka Mikoto pressed her face against Mo Mo's chest, listening to Mo Mo's steady heartbeat; this was the best comfort for her.

Time passed slowly, and the two embraced quietly until the receptionist called, startling them.

"You should answer the phone first. They must have something to ask us, otherwise they wouldn't be bothering us at this time."

Misaka Mikoto spoke softly, still very grateful for the receptionist's help.

However, Momo rejected her without hesitation.

"No."

In the darkness, Misaka Mikoto looked up at Mo Mo with a hint of confusion in her eyes, while Mo Mo looked down at the fragrance of Misaka Mikoto's hair and said, "I can't bear to let you go."

Misaka Mikoto's heart skipped a beat, and a blush spread across her pale face. But this time, she didn't look away, still staring at Mo Mo, and said, "No matter what, you should return the call, right?"

Mo Mo sighed, and with a casual wave of his hand, a ball of white light appeared around the phone, carrying it to Mo Mo's side.

The front desk's call was simple: Momo and Misaka Mikoto had been acting strangely, and Momo's room key had been removed, causing a power outage. The front desk staff wanted to know what had happened.

Mo Mo gave a few casual explanations and then hung up the phone.
