Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Regarding this, I think the child's problem is not physical, but psychological."

At this moment, Kurasaki Fuuko spoke, and her words made Misaka Mikoto slightly take aback.

Misaka Mikoto immediately recalled Shirai Kuroko's strange behavior these past few days, especially her attacks on Momo and Saten Ruiko today, and how Shirai Kuroko brought the number one to attack Momo. This was no longer just a misunderstanding or conflict.

Clearly, Shirai Kuroko harbors hatred towards Mo Mo, a hatred that Misaka Mikoto cannot comprehend, and this hatred has escalated to the level of life and death.

What is going on here?

Misaka Mikoto was completely baffled by all of this; she couldn't grasp any of the key points to understanding it all.

However, this did not prevent Misaka Mikoto from making a judgment. She believed that Kurasaki Fuuko's words made sense. After all, Misaka Mikoto had also seen the scene at that time. Shirai Kuroko was not harmed at the time, and it seemed more like an overreaction.

"But even so, we still need to take Hei Zi to the hospital. These kinds of things should be handled by doctors!"

Misaka Mikoto insisted on her opinion, but Kurasaki Fuuko shook her head slightly and said, "Mikoto, have you forgotten? If this child really has a psychological problem, we have an absolute expert by our side. How could you forget her at this time, Mikoto?"

"An absolute expert... Misaki Shokuhou!"

Misaka Mikoto's eyes immediately lit up. When it comes to psychological issues, is there anyone in this world who can compare to Shokuhou Misaki?

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto was about to act subconsciously to find Shokuhou Misaki to help save Shirai Kuroko, but after taking a step, she stopped.

Because she thought of what had happened to Mo Mo before.

How similar is all of this to when I saved Momo?

Misaka Mikoto went to find Shokuhou Misaki, who helped her. As a result, Misaka Mikoto gained Momo's health and her own love, while Shokuhou Misaki lost her own memories.

Misaka Mikoto was already very uneasy about asking Shokuhou Misaki for help last time, so is it really a good idea to ask Shokuhou Misaki to help again this time?

At this moment, Kurasaki Fuuko's words restored Misaka Mikoto's stiff expression. She said, "Alright, Mikoto, don't worry about it. I've already contacted Shokuhou Misaki, and she should be here soon, so you don't need to go this time!"

"Sister Fengzi, you actually managed to get Misaki Shokuhou to come and help?"

Misaka Mikoto was very surprised, but Kurasaki Fuuko smiled slightly and said, "Because of Momo's relationship with Shokuhou Misaki, you know a little about their affairs, right?"

"Ah... I see!"

Misaka Mikoto then remembered that Momo seemed to have helped Shokuhou Misaki once before, and it didn't seem like there was anything wrong with asking Shokuhou Misaki for help based on that relationship alone.

Knowing that Shirai Kuroko was saved, Misaka Mikoto breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the thought of Shokuhou Misaki coming again made her feel a little awkward.

After all, Misaka Mikoto still considers Misaka Mikoto a friend, while Misaka Mikoto considers her an enemy.

This left Misaka Mikoto feeling awkward.

Before Misaka Mikoto could figure out how to meet Shokuhou Misaki, there was a knock on the door, and Shokuhou Misaki had already arrived.

However, it turned out that Misaka Mikoto's worries seemed unnecessary. Shokuhou Misaki completely ignored her presence and went straight to Shirai Kuroko's side with a somewhat serious look in her eyes.

"Sister Fengzi, what should we do? Will Mo Mo be angry?!"

Misaki Shokuhou reached out and touched Kuroko Shirai's head, but then used quantum communication to talk to Fuuko Kurasaki, her tone tinged with unease.

As a Heroic Spirit, Misaki Shokuhou is adept at human relationships and has become familiar with Fuuko Kurasaki, who has also become a shrewd person, and they have formed a united front.

Right now, Misaki Shokuhou also realized that her previous teasing of Kuroko seemed to have gone a bit too far. With Shirai Kuroko in this state, would Momo hate her because of it?

"Don't worry, Cao Qi, Mo Mo will never blame you, after all, Mo Mo was there that day. Everyone is responsible for what happened today."

"As long as Momo is willing to take responsibility, he will carry it on his own initiative. Besides, I don't think Momo would value the flat-chested Shirai Kuroko more than your good figure, Misaki."

Misaki Shokuhou let out a soft snort, seemingly complaining about Kurasaki Fuuko's teasing, before saying, "What should I do now? Should I wait for Momo to come back before dealing with all this?"

In response to Misaki Shokuhou's question, Fuuko Kurasaki smiled and said, "Didn't you just confirm with me that Momo won't blame you? You know what you should do, right?"

"Rather than giving up halfway and abandoning your previous plan, I think you will continue and strive for a good outcome for Momo. That would be the best development and would prove your worth, wouldn't it?"

Misaki Shokuhou glanced at Fuuko Kurasaki with surprise, not expecting that Fuuko had already seen through her thoughts. Misaki knew very well that Fuuko didn't have the ability to read minds, so this was simply Fuuko's own experience.

Thinking of this, Misaki Shokuhou nodded to Fuuko Kurasaki in gratitude. Moreover, Misaki secretly resolved that she absolutely must not judge any Heroic Spirit based on their stated ages.

The experience that Kurasaki Fuuko displayed alone made even Shokuhou Misaki, the mastermind behind psychological manipulation, somewhat admire her.

"Um, Shokuhou-san, is Kuroko alright?"

Seeing that Misaka Mikoto remained silent, she became anxious and took the initiative to ask Misaka Mikoto a question. Misaka Mikoto then took the opportunity to end her conversation with Kurasaki Fuuko.

"She suffered such a severe shock that her body's functions have entered a self-protective state. Right now, she has sealed her consciousness deep within her mind and needs a force to awaken it."

Misaka Mikoto stared blankly at Shirai Kuroko and said, "You've been shocked... How could you be shocked? Is it really that serious?"

"That's right, it's so serious that she hates herself, and is even willing to give up on reality and just hide in her mind and never come out. Perhaps, compared to seeing everything in reality, she would rather be a vegetable."

Misaka Mikoto was struck dumb by Shokuhou Misaki's words. She pursed her lips and looked at Shirai Kuroko, who seemed to have really become a vegetable. Looking at this girl, who was one of Misaka Mikoto's few friends, her eyes began to sting.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?!"

Misaka Mikoto screamed loudly, her voice trembling with a hint of tears. She truly wanted to know why all of this had happened.

This time, still no one answered Misaka Mikoto's question, but Misaka Mikoto keenly noticed that Kurasaki Fuuko and Saten Ruiko's expressions were a little strange.

Misaka Mikoto then realized that Shirai Kuroko's sudden attack on Mo Mo earlier that day involved Saten Ruiko. And her assistant, Kurasaki Fuuko, must also know a great deal about everything concerning Mo Mo.

So, do these two people know something she doesn't?

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto grabbed Saten Ruiko with one hand and Kurasaki Fuuko with the other.

Before the two could react, Misaka Mikoto bowed deeply and said, "Please, tell me what happened. You must know something, at least tell me what you can tell me, please!"

However, to Misaka Mikoto's surprise, the answer she received was not from Kurasaki Fuuko or Saten Ruiko, but from Shokuhou Misaki.

"You really want to know?"

Misaka Mikoto immediately turned around and saw Shokuhou Misaki with a half-smile on her lips, and her heart skipped a beat.

Misaki Shokuhou...why does she know that too?

By the way, it's only natural that Misaki Shokuhou knows!

Although Misaka Mikoto's thoughts cannot be read by Shokuhou Misaki, she can read Shirai Kuroko's thoughts!

"It seems you understand now. Shirai Kuroko is indeed isolating herself, but I can read her memories without any problem."

"So, Misaka Mikoto, do you want to know what Shirai Kuroko has been through these past few days, what she has learned, and what forced her to do these things?"

Misaka Mikoto suddenly stepped forward and said, "Tell me, and I'll do anything you want!"

"Don't be so serious, I don't really have any requests. But, you know, I can tell you that I do have a small request for you..."

167 Call Me Your Majesty

"Then hurry up and say it, don't waste time here. You're a good person in every way, but this temper of yours is unbearable!"

Misaka Mikoto's complaints reached Shokuhou Misaki's ears, but compared to Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, who had already made up her mind, had a smile on her lips that said she had everything under control, and her gaze toward Misaka Mikoto had a special flavor.

That look sent chills down Misaka Mikoto's spine. She involuntarily took a step back, crossed her arms, and said, "Hey, what exactly are you up to?!"

"Okay, I'll just say it directly."

Misaki Shokuhou peeked her head at Misaka Mikoto, her eyes even more lively, and said, "Our relationship has never been good, so I want to put some restrictions on us."

"When there are many people around, or when there are outsiders, I don't make any demands on you. After all, you are your Railgun, and I am still under my control."

"But when there are fewer people, or when there are no outsiders..."

Misaki Shokuhou smiled knowingly and said, "You must obey me and not disobey my orders. You must treat me as your true queen. However, I won't ask you to do anything bad, nor will I use this opportunity to humiliate you."

Misaka Mikoto frowned. Shokuhou Misaki's order seemed a bit strange, but after thinking for a few seconds, she realized she understood what Shokuhou Misaki was thinking.

"To put it bluntly, you still want to be your queen, don't you? Okay, okay, I agree. Anyway, when there are no outsiders, I'll just treat you as my queen."

Misaka Mikoto had mentioned this condition before when she asked Shokuhou Misaki to save Momo, so it seems that Shokuhou Misaki is still determined to do something.

Misaka Mikoto didn't quite understand. It was just calling her "Queen" and suffering a little loss in front of Shokuhou Misaki when no one else was around. What was the big deal?

Misaka Mikoto blinked. Misaka Mikoto seemed to have subtly misunderstood her thoughts, but Misaka Mikoto didn't mind, because Misaka Mikoto couldn't possibly understand what Misaka Mikoto was preparing for.

"Then let's test it out first."

After saying that, Misaki Shokuhou suddenly hugged Misaka Mikoto, pressing her cheek against Misaka Mikoto's cheek, and said, "Call me Your Majesty."

"You...you can't get so close! I understand, Your Majesty, you're my Queen, okay?"

Misaka Mikoto's face turned bright red. She was now even more convinced that Shokuhou Misaki just wanted to tease her on certain occasions. However, Misaka Mikoto would not refuse such a condition, because she now knew that Shokuhou Misaki was also taking a great risk in treating people with problems of consciousness.

"Hmm, not bad, but Mikoto, this is just the beginning. You must keep your promise from now on."

"I understand, I understand! I am the Railgun, how could I break my promise? Let's get to the point and tell me what's going on, and then hurry up and treat Kuroko."

At this point, Misaki Shokuhou stopped beating around the bush and her expression became very serious. Kurasaki Fuuko and Saten Ruiko also looked unwell, which made Misaka Mikoto, who was seeing all this, even more nervous.

"Could it be... something bad?"

"Judging from Shirai Kuroko's appearance, do you think just anything could drive her to this point? If she didn't have a sufficient reason, why would Shirai Kuroko attack Mo Mo?"

Misaka Mikoto's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What exactly happened? Stop keeping me in suspense."

"Before that, Misaka Mikoto, are you really prepared to face all of this? These things can drive Shirai Kuroko to the brink of despair, and they can drive you to the brink of despair as well."

"Are you confident you can overcome the reality that will leave Shirai Kuroko in despair?"

The seriousness of the group and Misaki Shokuhou's words made Misaka Mikoto realize the seriousness of the situation, and that these things might not only be related to Shirai Kuroko, but possibly to her.

So... what exactly happened? What could have dragged her and Shirai Kuroko into this, and even attracted the number one spot in Academy City?

"tell me."

Misaka Mikoto didn't know what had happened, but that didn't diminish her courage. She stood firmly in front of Shokuhou Misaki and made her final decision without hesitation.

Misaki Shokuhou sighed slightly and said, "Well, I knew this would be the result. Come with me. If you can't take it in a while, you can lend me your shoulder."

After saying that, Misaki Shokuhou led Misaka Mikoto into the study, turned on the computer, and said, "The rest is up to you."

"Leave it to me, didn't you say you were going to tell me?"

Misaka Mikoto asked Shokuhou Misaki in surprise, but Shokuhou Misaki shook her head and said, "I think real-world information is more credible than what I tell you. You can use your abilities for hacking, right? Go search for the mass-production esper project yourself."

"A mass-production type of ability user plan? Okay, then I'll do it myself."

After saying that, Misaka Mikoto sat down in the chair, her fingers crackling with electricity as she began to search for information on the mass-production esper project, as instructed by Shokuhou Misaki. Meanwhile, Shokuhou Misaki came up behind Misaka Mikoto and gently put her arms around Misaka Mikoto's shoulders.
