Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Then, the white light stretched and expanded, gradually changing from a dense radiance into details, shapes, and textures. Finally, three pairs of wings composed of light appeared behind Momo, appearing before everyone's eyes.

The angelic wings and shimmering light completely captivated everyone, rendering them incapable of thought and immersing them in this dreamlike scene.

What is this...?

"Stop right there, you ape! How dare you... Ah!"

Shirai Kuroko, who had just appeared on the rooftop, was stunned by what she saw. Mo Mo didn't give anyone time to wake up. With a gentle flap of his wings, a gust of wind swept by, and Mo Mo, carrying Shokuhou Misaki, rose into the sky. The speed increased rapidly, and they soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Stop right there!"

Shirai Kuroko flashed several times in the high sky. At first, she could keep up with Mo Mo's speed, but her spatial movement was only up to eighty meters, and there was a short time interval in between. As a result, she lost sight of Mo Mo and Shokuhou Misaki in just a few seconds.

They got away!

Shirai Kuroko's eyes were filled with resentment. This was a huge problem. A guy who could conjure wings on his back had openly kidnapped the fifth-ranked esper in Tokiwadai. This was a direct provocation to Tokiwadai and the entire Academy City!

Although Shirai Kuroko herself doesn't like Shokuhou Misaki, even if she treats Shokuhou Misaki as a stranger, Shirai Kuroko's sense of responsibility as a disciplinary committee member makes it impossible for her to let it go.

"Early Spring!"

After using her teleportation ability several times in mid-air to eliminate inertia, Shirai Kuroko landed and immediately took out her communicator to contact her friend, Uiharu Kazari, who was also a disciplinary committee member but was in charge of communications and intelligence management in Branch 177.

“You should have seen everything on the camera. Start investigating immediately who this depraved ape is.”

"He should be able to shield himself from Misaki Shokuhou's abilities, be able to conjure six pairs of wings on his back, and... based on their relationship, he might know Misaki Shokuhou."

Shirai Kuroko recalled the scene where Shokuhou Misaki reminded the boy who kidnapped her, and said, "There probably aren't many people who meet all these conditions at the same time, so we need to hurry!"

"I'll get on it right away!"

As Shirai Kuroko waited anxiously, a few minutes later, Uiharu Kazari's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of panic in it.

“Um, Shirai-san, this matter… might be beyond our control. According to my information, there is only one person in Academy City who possesses all the above-mentioned abilities.”

"One?"

Shirai Kuroko frowned and said, "No matter who it is, since he dared to do it, we must bring him to justice. Tell me who he is, Hatsuharu!"

"This person... is the second-ranked Emperor Kagene of Academy City!"

Author's Note:

First update

106 Today, I am a bad person.

When she heard that this person was LV5, Shirai Kuroko's eyes widened immediately, as if she had stopped breathing.

Because this person is second, one place higher than his older sister, Misaka Mikoto.

In Shirai Kuroko's eyes, Misaka Mikoto was already a symbol of power, one of the top beings in the entire Tokiwadai and even Academy City. And this time, the person who committed the crime was actually Kaine Teitoku.

Shirai Kuroko didn't know just how powerful this Kane Teitoku was, but since he was ranked ahead of her older sister, it naturally meant that his abilities were something Misaka Mikoto couldn't match.

This time, the one who openly kidnapped Misaki Shokuhou was none other than Emperor Kanemoto!

What should I do?

If she continues, she will be facing a Level 5 opponent. Can Shirai Kuroko defeat a Level 5 opponent?

Although Shirai Kuroko is always very assertive and confident in her abilities, what if the opponent is a Level 5...?

"Early Spring!"

Shirai Kuroko practically gritted her teeth as she said, "Can you find their location? I'll catch up with them immediately..."

"Kuroko-kun, this is not allowed!"

Uiharu Kazari immediately understood what her friend Shirai Kuroko was going to do. Uiharu Kazari was very clear about Shirai Kuroko's stubborn personality. Once Shirai Kuroko made up her mind about something, she would face the challenge head-on no matter what the opponent's strength was.

Sometimes this is a respectable trait, but when faced with an insurmountable enemy or in special circumstances, Shirai Kuroko's behavior becomes synonymous with recklessness.

However, if Shirai Kuroko's courage and fearlessness turn into recklessness, she will inevitably get hurt, and she might even drag those around her into it.

This is the only point that Haruharu Kazari would never allow Shirai Kuroko to do, especially now. If she knew that the other party was a Level 5 and still let Shirai Kuroko go, it would only hurt Shirai Kuroko.

"Early Spring! We are disciplinary committee members, and now a student has been abducted right in front of us, and we can only watch helplessly. Don't you have any sense of honor as a disciplinary committee member?!"

"I can't let Shirai-san take such a risk! If Shirai-san questions whether she should go, I won't provide her with any information!"

"Early spring, you!"

Shirai Kuroko was both anxious and furious. Given that person's flying speed, every second of delay would reduce the chances of finding Shokuhou Misaki. And to make matters worse, Uiharu Kazari messed up at this crucial moment...

"Alright, you two!"

Just then, the voice of Kofumi Miwa, a senior member of the 177th branch, came through the earpiece, saying, "We just received orders from our superiors to immediately take charge of sealing off the scene and minimizing the leakage of information. After that, the security guards will take over the case."

"This is beyond our control."

Kofumi Miwa put it very euphemistically, but what she really meant was that what they, as disciplinary committee members, were going to do next was not to hunt down the criminals, but to silence the eyewitnesses at the scene, since what had happened today was just too shocking.

One of Tokiwadai's prides, Level 5 Mind Control, Academy City's fifth esper, Misaki Shokuhou... was kidnapped by someone who forcibly broke into the girls' dormitory!

"But, Senior Sister Gufa..."

Before Shirai Kuroko could argue further, Kofumi Miwa turned to her and said, "Shirai-kun, listen to this too. This is an order and warning from the highest level. If you rashly get involved, your life could be in real danger!"

"what!"

Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Kazari both gasped in surprise.

"This matter..."

Kofumi defined the current situation, saying, "It's really beyond our control for now..."

Hearing what Miyuki Kofun said, Uiharu Kazari breathed a sigh of relief. Now Shirai Kuroko can finally have some peace and quiet, right?

However, in the scene where the two could not see, Shirai Kuroko bit her lip, clearly not so easy to give up.

……

Mo Mo, holding Misaki Shokuhou in his arms, ignored her cries of surprise and flew into the sky with her, higher and higher, even higher than the height he had reached that night when he flew with Misaka Mikoto.

After all, Mo Mo still needs to evade Academy City's surveillance system, especially aerial surveillance.

Academy City, as a city that is almost a self-contained country, has a complete military system, which includes not only disciplinary committee members, security guards, and hound units, but also other military forces. However, all of this is generally not exposed to ordinary students.

Momo is trying to avoid these systems. Of course, if they really wanted to chase after Momo, all sorts of flying combat weapons would have already taken to the air.

Prior to this, Mo Mo had used his authority as a council member to make some preparations, suppressing the impact of this matter to the level of a farce, so that it would not alarm the armed forces of Academy City.

However, it remains to be seen whether anyone will take this opportunity to do something.

Momo kept flying. At first, Misaki Shokuhou struggled in Momo's arms, but as Momo flew higher, Misaki Shokuhou's struggles weakened rapidly, and in the end, she shrank into Momo's body.

Noticing something was wrong with Misaki Shokuhou in his arms, Mo Mo blinked and realized what was going on, saying, "Afraid of heights?"

Upon hearing Momo's words, Misaki Shokuhou seemed to shrink even smaller, yet she didn't show any sign of yielding, saying, "Not at all!"

Unfortunately, not only could Mo Mo sense Misaki's psychological state because of his connection with her abilities, but just by listening to her trembling voice, Mo Mo knew very well that Misaki was indeed afraid.

So, in order to take care of Misaki Shokuhou, Momo did not choose to stop. Instead, she flew higher and higher, heading towards a thick cloud in the sky, and then plunged into it like a cannonball.

However, once inside the clouds, Momo's speed gradually decreased.

The clouds were different from the surrounding air; they were more like fog. After entering the clouds, everything around them turned white. The moist air, combined with the already high altitude, instantly gave the two a chill that was different from what they felt in this season.

The cool mist stimulated Misaki Shokuhou's skin, gradually calming her down. Her tightly closed eyes trembled as she opened them, wanting to see what was happening around her.

However, when she saw all of this, she was stunned.

"This is……"

"It's a cloud."

"cloud!"

Misaki Shokuhou took a deep breath, and the mist entered her nostrils, instantly giving her a piercing chill. However, this chill did not make her feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, it made her feel comfortable all over.

Because... the water around us started to increase.

The affinity for water rooted in Misaki Shokuhou's soul began to influence her emotions. She stretched out her hand, her fingers tracing patterns in the mist, and a hint of longing appeared in her eyes.

However, Misaki Shokuhou is Misaki Shokuhou; she would never lose her mind because of such a small change.

Misaki Shokuhou suppressed the turmoil in her heart. Although her hands were still trying to grasp the clouds so close to her eyes, she said, "What exactly do you want?"

Her tone had completely returned to its previous coldness, as if Misaki Shokuhou had forgotten that she was currently being held by Momo, and that Momo had rescued her from Tokiwadai.

If we really have to evaluate the current situation, Misaki Shokuhou should be considered as being held hostage, right?

Mo Mo didn't care about Misaki Shokuhou's attitude at all, and laughed, "I told you, I'm here to bring you back to my side."

"Stop joking!"

Misaki Shokuhou became agitated. Her hands, which had been frolicking in the clouds, returned and grabbed Momo's collar. She said, "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? Leave me, stay far away from me, and don't bother me!"

"Never let me see you again!"

The star symbol in her eyes flickered slightly, indicating the fluctuations in Misaki Shokuhou's emotions. However, she kept staring straight at Momo, as if she wanted to use this method to demonstrate her determination.

Momo stared at Misaki Shokuhou in silence for a few seconds, then gently released her body. White light enveloped Misaki Shokuhou, causing her to float up.

However, throughout this process, Misaki Shokuhou paid no attention to her own condition; she maintained an angry and determined gaze, staring directly at Momo.

However, Misaki Shokuhou's actions made Momo laugh, a very bright laugh.

"why are you laughing."

Mo Mo looked at Misaki Shokuhou floating in the air and said, "I'm laughing at the relationship between the two of us."

"What's so funny!"

"Just now, you were completely unmoved by all my actions. What does that say?"

Mo Mo looked up and scanned the surrounding misty clouds, saying, "Where is this place? This is over a thousand meters above the ground. Anyone here who is not a human being capable of flight will feel genuine fear, just like your fear of heights just now."

"After all, humans are down-to-earth animals."

"What's wrong now?"

Mo Mo shook his head slightly and said, "What I want to ask is, what happened between us?"

"You just trusted me so much, without any worry that I would hurt you or that my abilities would fail you. Your trust in me even surpassed your instinctive fear of humans. Shouldn't I be happy?"
