Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Misaki Shokuhou's breath hitched.

"Besides, do we need to lie to each other?"

Mysterious red and white patterns appeared on Momo's cheeks. The butterfly on Misaki Shokuhou's neck, which was very close to her, also began to flutter in response. This time, Misaki Shokuhou did not try to block the butterfly.

Blocking it would only show her guilty conscience.

“I can sense your true feelings, and you can feel mine. You trust me, and you don’t hate me as you say you do; in fact, deep down you’re happy to have me by your side.”

"Yet you keep saying you want to leave me."

"That's why I'm wondering, what exactly happened between us, what's holding us back?"

Misaki Shokuhou turned her head away and said, "These things are not important. Send me back, and I will pretend that none of this ever happened today."

Momo smiled and shook his head at Misaki Shokuhou's words, saying, "That won't do!"

"Today, I've made up my mind to be a bad guy."

Author's Note:

This is the second update, but one update is missing, so let's say I owe six updates. I'll make up for it before the end of the month.

107 The methods of bad people

"Bad guy?"

Misaki Shokuhou chuckled, as if she had heard something interesting.

"Are you a good person? It seems like you've never been a good person."

"What kind of expression do you think Misaka Mikoto would have if I told her everything that happened today, including what happened in her mind?"

Misaki Shokuhou's eyes held a dangerous glint as she lightly tapped Mo Mo's lips with her finger, saying, "I'm afraid what awaits you is Misaka Mikoto's lightning strike, isn't it?"

Faced with Misaki Shokuhou's threat, Momos didn't mind at all. Instead, he smiled confidently and said, "Perhaps you can give it a try? How can you be so sure that Misaka will trust you?"

"On one hand, there's Misaki Shokuhou, who's under her psychological control; on the other hand, there's me, with whom she's officially dating and who's able to make her open up and let her heart open. Who do you think she'll believe?"

"Even if you provide evidence, how can you prove that this evidence is true?"

"Besides, even if you prove it, would Misaka believe you?"

Momo gently opened his mouth and put Misaki Shokuhou's finger in his mouth. Misaki Shokuhou was completely unaware of this, seemingly startled by Momo's words.

"...I understand. If I were really targeting you, you would pretend to be under my control!"

Misaki Shokuhou finally understood Momo's thoughts and glared at him resentfully. Momo's smile remained unchanged, and white light condensed in his pupils, forming a star-shaped pattern, just like the one controlled by Misaki Shokuhou.

Only by looking closely can one see the difference in color tone between the two.

“That’s right, my queen, I’m completely under your control. We’ve been partners for so long, you’ve already stolen my heart.”

"Now, I'm completely under your spell, and it's impossible for you to get rid of me even if you want to."

Feeling the temperature of Momo's mouth with her fingers, Misaki Shokuhou's body gradually grew cold. When did her own abilities become a burden to her?

Although Misaka Mikoto knows that Misaka Mikoto will definitely have more affection for her than before because she saved Momo and "lost her memory" because of Misaka Mikoto.

This can be seen from the fact that Misaka Mikoto's reaction to Shokuhou Misaki's deliberate provocations over the past two days has been much weaker than before.

However, Misaki Shokuhou was also well aware that this affection for her was entirely based on the fact that she had helped Momo.

If Misaki Shokuhou were to turn around and threaten Momo, thus threatening the relationship between Momo and Misaka Mikoto, Misaka Mikoto's goodwill towards her would vanish in an instant.

If the time comes, even if a stranger tells Misaka Mikoto that Momo cheated on her, it would be easier for Misaka Mikoto to trust him than if she told Shokuhou Misaki.

Who told her to be Misaki Shokuhou? She has the ability to control a person's entire mind and behavior. And what about Misaki Shokuhou?

In this world, the person you can't trust the most... is Shokuhou Misaki, right?

So that's how it is...

This is why Mo Mo is so fearless!

This behavior, this thought, is truly...

Absolute bastard!

"You..."

Misaki Shokuhou gritted her teeth, while Momo gently kissed the back of Misaki Shokuhou's hand and said, "I told you, Misaki, I'm a bad person today."

"Although I'm not a good person, I've always been very restrained in my behavior and actions. If I were to really be a bad person..."

Momo met Misaki Shokuhou's gaze once more, and in that instant, Misaki Shokuhou seemed to see countless schemes and plots in Momo's eyes, as if Momo had already exhausted all of these methods.

"...But it could make someone like you, who seems ruthless on the surface but is actually a good person, completely despair."

“Now,” Momo’s lips traced up Misaki Shokuhou’s hand and kissed her arm little by little, saying, “Do you feel despair, my queen?”

However, Momo's words prompted Misaki Shokuhou to act immediately. She abruptly pulled her hand from Momo's hand and mouth, then pointed it at Momo's head.

She remained silent, but the butterfly on her neck suddenly began to shimmer, and red and white patterns began to flow outward from her neck, resembling both thorns and tattoos, gradually spreading all over her body, adding a mysterious and magical touch to Misaki Shokuhou in her Tokiwadai school uniform.

"So, Your Majesty, you're ready to resort to violence at the slightest disagreement?"

Misaki Shokuhou squinted and said, "Although I don't know how much my power will affect you, I believe that if I use my full strength, it will definitely have an impact on you."

"This is over a thousand meters in the air. If you lose control of your abilities, there's only one path awaiting you: plummeting to your death. And then..."

"Am I destined to die?"

Mo Mo spread his hands, his feet stepping on white light, and walked backward in the air, taking two steps back to completely expose his body to Misaki Shokuhou's eyes.

"At that time, my abilities will be interfered with by you, and we will both fall from this height and crash to the ground, turning into a pile of minced meat."

"Are you planning to use this to threaten me? Have you forgotten something?"

Misaki Shokuhou was slightly taken aback, then remembered what Misaka Mikoto had said when she was working with Misaka Mikoto in Mo Mo's consciousness.

The fact that Momo has been completely resurrected.

At the time, she only heard about it briefly. In her opinion, this was more due to the medical skills of the Underworld Soul Chaser than to Mo Mo's abilities. Moreover, Misaka Mikoto might not know the truth or understand the principles.

Now that Misaki Shokuhou has thought of this, is Mo Mo's current behavior... a sign of being fearless?

"Come on, try it, Misaki. Maybe you can control me, and then we'll both fall from this sky together."

"Even if we can't be together in life, at least when we die, our flesh and blood can be fused together. Doesn't that sound nice?"

"Oh right, right now our abilities are so well integrated, maybe when I'm resurrected, I'll even fuse your flesh and blood into my body."

Mo Mo's eyes darted wildly towards Misaki Shokuhou, and he said, "Then, we'll really be together, both in body and soul."

"I'm really looking forward to this!"

After saying that, Mo Mo tapped his temple and said, "Don't worry, I will absolutely not put up any resistance. So what if it's death? Death can't separate us."

Red and white tattoos now cover Misaki Shokuhou's entire body, indicating that she has pushed her abilities to the limit. If she so desires, her mind control abilities will be used on Momo for the first time.

However, unlike the faintly shimmering patterns on her body, Misaki Shokuhou's body became still, seemingly showing no signs of movement.

"Why……"

Misaki Shokuhou also started to move, but she began to tremble slightly.

"Why are you forcing me like this? Why do you have to do this? Even one Misaka Mikoto isn't enough. Academy City is so big, why do you have to target me!"

"What exactly do you want from me?!"

Misaki Shokuhou ultimately did not risk using her ability on Momo. No one would willingly perish with an enemy, especially knowing that the other party is not yet dead. A meaningless death is simply foolish.

Having gone through so much, Misaki Shokuhou is no longer an impulsive and hot-blooded brat. Given the opportunity, she will use all her strength to fight for it.

Even if it comes at a great cost.

This time, Mo Mo simply watched calmly without answering.

"It's my ability? You already have great abilities and a position as a director. Besides, I've also heard about the enormous wealth you currently possess."

"Isn't this enough to satisfy your ambition?"

"With my abilities, you can indeed do whatever you want."

Misaki Shokuhou offered her own guess, but Momo remained unmoved.

So, Misaki Shokuhou closed her eyes, her voice filled with disgust and hatred, and said, "I understand."

Or is it this?

As she spoke, Misaki Shokuhou reached for her Tokiwadai school uniform; her fingers trembled slightly, yet she moved with remarkable efficiency.

Pieces of clothing were peeled off by Misaki Shokuhou's own fingers, and the detached clothes slowly drifted down from the sky, leaving the clouds and falling to the ground.

Soon, her beautiful and voluptuous body appeared before Momo, without any reservations, mysterious patterns adorning Misaki Shokuhou's breasts.

When Misaki Shokuhou stood naked before Momo, she felt much calmer.

The gentle mist that came into contact with her skin soothed her and also reminded her of that time in Momo's consciousness.

Akagi standing in front of Momo didn't seem to be too hard for Misaki Shokuhou to accept.

Could it be that, deep down, we've already become accustomed to this kind of face-to-face contact?

Misaki Shokuhou didn't want to think about this. She looked at Momo quietly and said, "Is this what you want? I have nothing left but my body."

"If taking my body will satisfy you, then take it. After that, please stay far away from me and never come back to ruin my life."

However, all that awaited Misaki Shokuhou was silence. This quiet waiting began to unsettle Misaki, and this unease was growing exponentially.

Isn't that enough?!

"Isn't that enough...?"

Misaki Shokuhou gave a bitter smile and said, "I understand, once isn't enough, is it?"

"After all, if you want to truly enjoy yourself, you'll definitely need to try all sorts of methods and countless times, right?"

"In that case, I can promise you, I won't resist. Even if we return to the surface, I won't resist."

"Do whatever you want, at least..."

"Give me the last bit of dignity, let me outwardly maintain my original life."

Misaki Shokuhou's voice had completely changed as she said, "At least... let me still be able to live a normal life..."
