Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Saten Ruiko asked instinctively, but saw Mo Mo shake his head. She realized that she had no chance to get involved in any of this now.

"But you can rest assured, I think no matter who wins or loses between me and the other side, no one in the entire Academy City will notice the changes in Academy City, even though Academy City may have undergone earth-shattering changes."

Saten Ruiko clearly still didn't understand, but a strong sense of unease pounded in her heart.

What will happen?

"You don't have to make a decision right now."

Just as Saten Ruiko was struggling more and more intensely, Mo Mo suddenly said, "This transaction will last for a while."

"If you agree during this period, you will become my Heroic Spirit. If you refuse, everything from today will disappear from your mind, and you will become an ordinary person."

"So, you can continue to consider it. I can wait a little longer."

Upon hearing this, Saten Ruiko showed a hint of surprise and instinctively wanted to bow in thanks, but then she saw Mo Mo's outstretched hand.

"This is……"

"I wish us success in our deal. Even if it fails, it'll still be a heart-to-heart talk, right? Although you might forget it by then, I'll remember your great figure perfectly!"

Saten Ruiko's breath hitched, and a look of shame and anger reappeared on her face. However, she did not explode. Instead, she reached out and grasped Mo Mo's hand.

Momo brought her the most significant turning point in her life, giving her hope for change, and that alone was enough for her to be grateful to Momo.

Otherwise, she would probably still be clinging to hope in her ignorance, and then eventually despair in Academy City!

"Even if... I really become a Heroic Spirit, I will stay far away from you. You are a villain at all, senpai."

"Then, I'll be waiting for your good news, Ruiko."

After saying that, Mo Mo squeezed Lei Zi's hand, intending to tease her a little one last time, but suddenly felt a pain in her wrist.

Immediately, Mo Mo frowned as he looked at his wrist, and Saten Ruiko, who was shaking hands with Mo Mo, did the same.

What followed was Saten Ruiko's scream.

"Senior, your hand, your hand!"

Despite screaming, Saten Ruiko didn't shake off Momo's hand. Instead, she took a step closer, lifted Momo's hand up, and grabbed Momo's forearm with both of her hands.

At that moment, a steel cone about ten centimeters long suddenly appeared on Mo Mo's wrist, pushing away the original flesh and blood and leaving itself inside.

This situation is probably only slightly better than having a hole punched in it with a steel spike, since the flesh has been squeezed open and its integrity is better.

However, this did not stop the blood from flowing rapidly from Mo Mo's hand along the steel cone. Even though Saten Ruiko tried her best to pinch Mo Mo's upper arm to stop the bleeding, it only had a slight effect.

"Doctor! Senior, can you still use your left hand? Quickly call someone... oh, no, we should call for help right now!"

Saten Ruiko was clearly flustered by Mo Mo's sudden injury. She wanted to find someone to help her. She looked left and right, and finally focused her gaze on Shirai Kuroko, who was walking towards her step by step with a steel awl between her fingers.

It was only then that she realized that Mo Mo's eyes had been fixed on Shirai Kuroko from the very beginning, and he hadn't paid any attention to his own injuries.

At this moment, Saten Ruiko also realized the most crucial question: who exactly attacked Momo and stabbed the steel cone into Momo's wrist?

However, no matter what Saten Ruiko thought, Shirai Kuroko, who had been active with them not long ago, Shirai Kuroko as a member of the Disciplinary Committee, and even fought alongside them, would suddenly do such a thing.

At a glance, Saten Ruiko could sense the anger and ferocity emanating from Shirai Kuroko, as if she were under immense pressure that was about to explode.

"Shirai-kun, what are you doing?!"

Now that Saten Ruiko knows that Shirai Kuroko's ability is spatial teleportation, and seeing the steel nail in Shirai Kuroko's hand, she immediately concludes that Shirai Kuroko attacked Momo.

She was questioning Shirai Kuroko, completely baffled by the current situation. Saten Ruiko desperately hoped that everything was just an accident, a mistake Shirai Kuroko made while using her ability.

However, the reality is cruel.

"Let her go!"

Ignoring Saten Ruiko, Shirai Kuroko roared at Momo and swung the steel cone in her hand, launching another attack.

This time, the attack targeted Mo Mo's two ankles. Two steel spikes suddenly appeared on his ankles, causing Mo Mo to lose his strength in an instant and fall forward onto Saten Ruiko.

Saten Ruiko was taken aback. The sudden weight of Momo made her cry out, but she still managed to stand up despite her trembling body and did her best to support Momo's body.

"Shirai Kuroko, are you crazy? Why are you attacking your senior?!"

Saten Ruiko was trembling, and her voice was shaking. Mo Mo's sudden injury made her heart clench, but what she found even more unacceptable was the current situation.

This time, Saten Ruiko's shout seemed to calm Shirai Kuroko down a little for a moment. She stared blankly at Saten Ruiko and said, "Saten Ruiko, what are you standing there for? Run! Get rid of this scumbag! He'll ruin you!"

"Ruined me? How could a senior ruin me? It's more like a senior gave me hope! Are you crazy? This is a crime! You're a disciplinary committee member, yet you're committing a crime!"

Saten Ruiko's expression began to contort, fear and anger triggering her body's most primal stress response, causing her to see Shirai Kuroko, who was attacking her, as an enemy.

Attacking others indiscriminately, including Mo Mo—what else could such a person be but an enemy?

Not only Saten Ruiko, but many people in the distance saw the battle between ability users taking place. Although they dared not approach, some of them had already started secretly making phone calls.

Shirai Kuroko froze, staring in astonishment at Saten Ruiko's ferocious expression, then glanced at the onlookers in the distance, her body trembling.

She looked at Mo Mo again. Mo Mo was leaning on Saten Ruiko, frowning as he looked at Shirai Kuroko, whose wrists and ankles were bleeding profusely.

So... you did it yourself?

Shirai Kuroko had finally found this place and discovered traces of Momo and Saten Ruiko. However, when she saw Momo holding Saten Ruiko's hand and not letting go, while Saten Ruiko looked hesitant, Shirai Kuroko was instantly enraged.

In her opinion, Momo must have used some trick to deceive Saten Ruiko, and the foolish Saten Ruiko believed Momo.

If things continue like this, Saten Ruiko will definitely suffer the same fate as Shokuhou Misaki... no, perhaps even worse, like the fate of Onee-sama's sisters!

Anxiety and anger, hatred and fear intertwined, causing Shirai Kuroko to lose her mind for a moment. By the time she turned around, she had already made her move.

145 An unmanageable situation

Seeing the blood dripping from Mo Mo's body from afar, and Mo Mo's unsteady stance, Shirai Kuroko herself trembled. This was the first time she had ever intentionally hurt someone with hostility.

Even though Shirai Kuroko knew she was acting out of justice, trying to save Saten Ruiko and stop Momo's schemes, hurting someone is still hurting someone.

After all, Shirai Kuroko is a rule-abiding person, so even if she encounters real danger, she will not actively harm criminals, but will subdue them or use her abilities to demonstrate and make them submit.

This is exactly what Shirai Kuroko has always done. Therefore, seeing Mo Mo's miserable state, her sense of responsibility erupted. This was Shirai Kuroko's last act of self-control, giving her the opportunity to control the anger and hatred in her heart.

If Shirai Kuroko can control herself, perhaps all of this can be resolved, since Shirai Kuroko is aware of Mo Mo's self-healing ability.

However, at that moment, Saten Ruiko did something that puzzled Shirai Kuroko.

"senior!"

Saten Ruiko looked at Mo Mo with trembling eyes. What was happening now had completely awakened the fear in Saten Ruiko's heart.

Saten Ruiko is not yet too close to Momo, and even finds Momo's adult-like language somewhat offensive, but she is very grateful to Momo for giving her the opportunity to have abilities.

In contrast, Shirai Kuroko was a criminal high-level ability user whom she had only met today and hadn't even exchanged a few words with, yet she had used her ability to injure people without warning. At that moment, Shirai Kuroko's image instantly overlapped with those arrogant high-level ability users that Saten Ruiko disliked.

Now, although Saten Ruiko is afraid, the sense of justice surging in her heart compels her to do something, she must do something!

For example, protecting Momo.

Saten Ruiko knew very well that she had no power, and her opponent was a Level 4 spatial ability user; killing her would only be a matter of a thought. But seeing Momo's appearance, she still couldn't help but do it.

However, Saten Ruiko wasn't stupid; she wouldn't rush straight in. Her heart was pounding because she had made a decision.

She no longer wanted to endure this torment of powerlessness, no longer wanted to watch powerful individuals commit violence while she was powerless to do anything about it, and no longer wanted to feel that she wanted to do something but had no physical means to do so.

This has tormented her for too long, and it's time to get rid of it all!

Even if... the price to pay is truly her own body and future, and she really becomes the person this boy in front of her... that's enough!

"I promise... um!"

In her excitement, Saten Ruiko wanted to agree to become Momo's Heroic Spirit, but Momo, who had been frowning and assessing the situation while looking at Shirai Kuroko, instinctively covered Saten Ruiko's mouth.

A blood-stained hand covered Saten Ruiko's lips, leaving a large handprint on her cheek. However, it was no use. The transaction was completed the moment Saten Ruiko made her decision, and it could not be severed by external force.

Momo did this because he understood that Saten Ruiko wanted to become a Heroic Spirit due to emotional distress. Although the outcome was the same as what Momo wanted, he had hoped that Saten Ruiko would think things through more carefully.

After all, Momo hoped that everyone in his Hall of Heroes, even if they had different personalities, interests, and goals, would at least be people who voluntarily became Heroic Spirits, and would not regret it after becoming Heroic Spirits.

Next, Mo Mo watched as Saten Ruiko beside him rolled her eyes and lost consciousness. He then realized that his subconscious attempt to stop Saten Ruiko from agreeing to the deal had been futile. Saten Ruiko had already begun to be accepted by the Hall of Heroes and entered a transformation process.

This process wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. Clearly, the current situation, where they were facing off against Shirai Kuroko, was not a good environment.

Having understood the current situation, Mo Mo had a thought, and the three steel cones stuck in his wrists and ankles were pulled out by quantum light, and blood immediately spurted from the blood holes.

However, Momo immediately controlled his Code ability to accelerate his body's recovery, at least temporarily closing the three wounds and six blood holes, stopping the continued flow of blood.

At the same time, Momo hugged Saten Ruiko, who had fallen into a coma and whose body was beginning to become burning hot, and prepared to move her to another position.

As for Shirai Kuroko in the distance, Mo Mo didn't want to say anything more to her. Having basically understood the current situation, Mo Mo knew that even if she explained anything to Shirai Kuroko now, she wouldn't believe her.

Unless the power of transaction is used to convince Shirai Kuroko of all this.

However, Mo Mo is currently concerned about Saten Ruiko's situation and does not want to waste words explaining to Shirai Kuroko. Although the injury is no longer of any real significance to Mo Mo, it still hurts because Shirai Kuroko has stabbed several holes in his body.

As for the truth of the matter, we'll talk about it later.

Thinking of this, Mo Mo floated up, wanting to fly away, but in an instant, she felt excruciating pain all over her body. The six steel spikes on her arms and thighs gave her twelve more bloody holes.

Fresh blood... dripped down the steel cone.

The pain made Mo Mo's face darken. Moreover, unlike the last time when Shirai Kuroko's steel spikes pierced Mo Mo's wrists and ankles but avoided vital blood vessels and nerves, this time, the steel spikes directly pierced Mo Mo's bones.

Even though Momo's body is at the limit of human potential, the fact that his bones were pierced immediately reduced his ability to withstand pressure, making it almost impossible for him to stand.

Fortunately, Mo Mo reacted immediately and used his ability to take control of his body, which prevented him from falling down while holding Saten Ruiko.

Clearly, Shirai Kuroko has struck again, and this time she's even more ruthless than before.

Shirai Kuroko almost helped because she was trying to follow the rules, but in her eyes, Mo Mo, despite being injured, attacked Saten Ruiko again in front of Shirai Kuroko.

With a single move, he knocked Saten Ruiko unconscious, then grabbed her and looked like he was about to leave.

what is this?

To kidnap Saten Ruiko right in front of her, completely ignoring Shirai Kuroko's existence and treating her, the disciplinary committee member, like air?

After being kidnapped, Saten Ruiko will probably suffer inhuman treatment. Saten Ruiko is not as strong as Shokuhou Misaki. She might just commit suicide because she can't help it!

Anger once again overwhelmed Shirai Kuroko's reason, making her take action. She had no choice but to act, because she wanted to retaliate against Momo's contempt and stop Momo's evil deeds!
