Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"No matter what the job is, whether it involves selling the Misakas or making them do anything else, the Misakas are willing to accept it."

At this point, Misaka 9887 finally stopped, and the Misaka Network had long since fallen silent. These were the thoughts of all the Misakas, now spoken through the mouth of Misaka 9887.

"Is this what you truly think?"

Mo Mo reached out his other hand and wrapped it around Misaka 9887's two hands. Misaka 9887 trembled slightly, but did not reject the contact and nodded.

"Misaka is already yours, and we are willing to do anything for you. This is the determination of all Misaka. Please acknowledge our determination, Brother."

However, Mo Mo shook his head and said, "Would you like to hear my plan first?"

Misaka 9887 nodded and said, "Please speak, brother."

"Actually, I am a businessman."

Mo Mo's opening remarks surprised Misaka 9887. She didn't understand why Mo Mo had suddenly changed so much.

"Yes, Misaka understands. My brother is a businessman, so will the Misakas be sold as commodities?"

"No, that won't happen. To put it simply, you would only be my private collection, not my merchandise. Although I am a businessman, I happen to be a businessman who is not short of money. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems for me."

"I saved you for two reasons. The first reason is because of your value."

Misaka9887 blinked and said, "Value? Misaka's production cost was only 180,000 yen. Misaka has no value whatsoever."

Misaka 9887 spoke with absolute certainty; this was their own understanding and what they firmly believed in, and it was also what Mo Mo was now trying to shatter.

The Misaka Sisters are not things, but people, beautiful and lovely young girls.

For Momo, this is an invaluable treasure.

First update. JKing still owes three more updates. I'll try my best to write them today. Fight!

128 This is a big deal.

"So, as I've said before, I'm a businessman, and you are my collectibles. Do you understand what a collectible is?"

Mo Mo chuckled. Misaka 9887 didn't understand. Isn't the value of a collection valuable? Does the value of the Misaka characters go beyond 180,000 yen just because they've become collectibles?

"It seems I need to explain to you the difference between collectible value, practical value, and cost value."

"Please enlighten me, elder brother."

Mo Mo nodded, transforming into Teacher Mo Mo, and said, "You keep saying that you are worth 180,000 yen, but that only means that others spent 180,000 yen to manufacture you. And obviously, that 180,000 yen only takes into account the value of the materials, and doesn't even take into account the cost of water, electricity, and heating. It is your cost value, but it does not represent your intrinsic value."

"Just like a sculpture created by a master artist from clay, the value of the sculpture cannot be measured by the clay itself. Do you understand what I mean?"

Misaka9887 nodded as if she understood, and said, "So, the value of Misaka has to take into account other costs, which is why it can be priced? Then, can we understand that Misaka can set its own price based on the 30 yen that her brother bought her for?"

"Misaka's net worth went from 18 yen to 30 yen. Her net worth skyrocketed in an instant, and Misaka is very happy!"

As she spoke, Misaka's lips twitched, as if she were smiling.

"Naive! If you think that's how you value yourself, then you're making a huge mistake!"

Misaka 9887 tilted her head and said, "Please continue to instruct me, elder brother!"

Compared to before, Misaka 9887's tone was much higher, as if she was starting to be genuinely interested in her skyrocketing value.

"Taking the previous example, what price should be set for a clay sculpture by a master artist?"

“It is not appropriate to define it based on the value of soil, so Misaka believes it should be defined as a work of art.”

Misaka 9887 took the initiative to speak, saying, "So, the Misakas... are they all exquisite works of art? Misaka isn't a low-quality imitation? No, if Misaka were human, she would indeed be a low-quality imitation of Onee-sama."

"But as a work of art, the Misakas seem to... be able to consider themselves as life-size living figurines of Onee-sama?"

"Good idea!"

Mo Mo gave Misaka 9887, whose thinking was gradually opening up, thirty-two likes, and then said, "But your value is not just that. As figurines or handicrafts, you can greatly increase your value, but if you were to become collectible works of art, how much value would you have?"

"Artworks, collectibles..."

Misaka 9887 murmured to herself, pondering Mo Mo's words, and asked, "Are the Misakas works of art and collectibles?"

"That's right!"

Mo Mo's tone suddenly softened, and she squeezed Misaka 9887's hand tightly, saying, "You are works of art, and you will also be my collection. As collectibles, your value cannot be measured by common sense. Only I, as your master, can determine your value."

"If I wanted to, I could make you all priceless treasures, because in this world, only I possess you, and I possess more than ten thousand beautiful and lovely Misaka Sisters."

"I decide your value."

Thump, thump!

Misaka 9887 felt her heart rate increase. This heart rate was not in accordance with normal physical conditions, and she should have reported it to the researcher and undergone physical examination.

But right now, Misaka 9887 had no such thoughts at all. The sudden change in her heartbeat added a bit of pressure to her heart, but Misaka 9887 felt a little fond of this pressure.

What does it feel like to like someone?

Misaka 9887 wasn't quite sure, but she felt as if she were experiencing the same emotions she felt when she tasted sweetness for the first time, even though there was nothing in her mouth.

what is that?

Moreover, Misaka 9887, still within the Misaka Network, clearly felt that all the Misakas in the silent Misaka Network were experiencing rapid heartbeats, feeling the same emotions as Misaka 9887.

There seemed to be a hint of sweetness in my mouth.

Is this what liking someone is?

"But Misaka... will cause trouble for Big Brother, Misaka..."

"Maintaining your collection is inherently a time-consuming and energy-intensive process, isn't it? Besides, it's actually a process that increases the value of my collection."

"appreciation?"

"That's right, it's appreciated in value."

Mo Mo smiled again and said, "You are indeed worth 300,000 yen each right now, but have you ever thought about what your value will be after I complete the body modification?"

Misaka9887 was taken aback and said, "At that time... will Misaka's value be 300,000 plus... the cost of body adjustments?"

Mo Mo shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm a businessman. A businessman's investment is always for returns. Everything I've done for you has a huge return on investment."

"Misaka...don't understand."

"Then let me put it this way..."

Momo released Misaka's hand, extended her index finger and tapped Misaka 9887's nose. The small nose tip deformed slightly under Momo's finger. She said, "What do you think is the value of a human being? What is the value of your big sister?"

This question made Misaka 9887 think. She was silent for a few seconds before saying, "A normal human being can be valued by his past contributions, his current status and abilities, and the expectations for his future... However, this statement is not appropriate for humans."

"After all, the future is unpredictable. An ordinary person may grow into an elite or a hegemon, while a current tycoon may fall into ruin overnight."

"It would be too arbitrary to judge a person's value solely based on their past experiences and present circumstances."

Misaka9887 explained her analysis step by step, saying, "Therefore, as a human being, Misaka believes that the value of humanity is immeasurable because of the possibilities that humanity possesses. The value of humanity may be priceless."

"As for my older sister... Misaka believes that my older sister is priceless to my older brother."

"That's right, Mikoto is my priceless treasure. Even mountains of gold and silver can't compare to this arrogant and charming girl. Anyone who dares to mess with Mikoto, I'll cut off their hand!"

When Mo Mo said those words, I wonder if someone felt a chill run down their spine?

However, Mo Mo was just joking. He continued, "Now that you understand that the individual value of humans is immeasurable, have you ever thought about what you would be after completing your physical adjustments?"

"What...will we be?"

"That's right. When you have normal bodies, normal thoughts and emotions, I will give you a proper identity so that you can live a normal life in the sunlight."

"By then, what will you be? Will you be able to recognize yourselves as human beings?"

Upon hearing this, Misaka 9887's pupils suddenly dilated, and her breathing seemed to stop. Mo Mo's question instantly struck her heart, and struck the hearts of all the Misaka sisters.

If that day ever comes... will she still be human?

"Misaka..."

"Misaka... Misaka..."

Misaka 9887's voice trembled. Clearly, this was a very important question for the Misaka Sisters, a question that could completely overturn their self-perception.

Momo did not try to forcibly change the Misaka Sisters' current self-perception. What Momo wanted to do was to make the Misaka Sisters remember that after becoming Momo's collectibles and after completing the adjustments, each Misaka Sister would evolve.

From clones, they evolved into humans.

Human beings possess infinite possibilities and infinite value.

"...It's human."

"Misaka... will become human!"

Finally, Misaka 9887 uttered those words, almost shouting them out. After speaking, she subconsciously touched her cheek, and two tear tracks slowly flowed down her face.

"Misaka... is crying... why is that?"

Momo reached out to wipe away Misaka 9887's other tear and said softly, "This means you're ready to evolve into a human, Misaka."

"Ok!"

Misaka 9887 nodded vigorously, agreeing with Mo Mo's words, and said, "Misaka... wants to become human, a human of infinite value!"

"That's right. When the time comes, I'll have bought invaluable living humans, beautiful little sisters, for a few million yen. Won't I have made a huge profit?"

"Isn't this a great deal with an almost unlimited return on investment?"

Mo Mo smiled, and Misaka 9887, whose eyes were now slightly moist, seemed to have become more lively. She agreed with Mo Mo's words and said, "That's right, if Brother buys Misaka, Misaka will become a real human and become more valuable to repay Brother!"

"That's right!"

Mo Mo gently stroked Misaka 9887's nose, but unfortunately, Misaka 9887's expression was still blank. Otherwise, their interaction would have been more interesting.

However, at this moment, Misaka 9887 seemed to have thought of something and said, "Big brother, you just said that you bought us... there is another reason, what is this reason?"

"This..."

Mo Mo stroked his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face, and finally said, "Misaka, are you really willing to become mine and follow me and help me forever? As I said, in return, I can guarantee that you can live a normal life, but this kind of life is different from the life of ordinary humans."

"Of course, it's okay if you refuse me. I will still be your older brother, and I will ensure that you can live a normal human life as humans."

After saying that, Momo informed Yui that he had extended an invitation to Misaka 9887 to become a Heroic Spirit, asking if Misaka 9887 would be willing to become a Heroic Spirit.
