Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"The way you're looking at my girlfriend is really bothering me. This is just a gentle reassurance; I'm about to get angry."

Momo spoke these words with a smile on his lips, seemingly angry about Best's high rate of attention. However, Momo had long anticipated how attractive Best would be in this state.

As soon as Mo Mo spoke, most people came to their senses. They looked apologetic and quickly made their expressions serious. They turned their heads away reluctantly, occasionally stealing glances from the corner of their eyes.

There's no way to deny that Best's adorable figure and lively cat ears have already captivated many. Especially the collar around Best's neck and the bell on it, which evokes a strange yet alluring sense of anticipation.

Is this boy keeping this girl from Tokiwadai as a pet? She's being treated like a pet, yet she willingly wears a collar and bell. Do they often play forbidden games together?

This...this is just so enviable!

However, one thing was true, just as Momo had said: when the two appeared wearing cat ears and hair clips, no one doubted Best's identity. As for the lively cat ears... this is Academy City, with such a high level of technology; it's only natural that they would occasionally produce some strange products due to a skewed technological path.

The onlookers dispersed, which relieved Best. Momo let go of his hand, and Best's ears returned to normal, although the slightly higher frequency of trembling still indicated that Best was nervous.

"Still can't get used to it? Don't worry, take it one step at a time. I believe you can overcome it. At least for now, it's not as scary as you think, nor as serious as you imagine, right?"

Best lifted her flushed face, whether from nervousness or annoyance, she secretly glanced around, and only nodded gently after everyone had left.

"I...I'll get used to it, give me some time!"

Seeing that Best was clearly nervous but still looked determined, Momo gave Best a warm hug.

The other person is working hard for their future relationship, courtship, and mating. How can Momo repay Best?

It seems best to just let Best continue to be the center of attention!

"Alright, you spiky-haired guy over there, stop crowding around. Didn't you see everyone else has left? Can't you have any manners or dignity? My girlfriend and I are leaving."

"Also, why aren't you in class at this time? Are you a delinquent?"

Mo Mo turned to look at the spiky-haired boy standing not far away, who was staring in disbelief. The spiky-haired boy smiled wryly and said, "I did ask for leave properly. This afternoon, Mr. Kamijou is going to buy a phone, open a bank account, and so on. He has a lot of things to do."

“My situation isn’t important. The key is Momo, your situation… Mr. Kamijou also admitted that the cat-eared girl is cute, but Mr. Kamijou isn’t surprised by that.”

"Um, Momo-kun, if I remember correctly, your girlfriend should be the one with the tea hair, right? This girl should be the one who planned to take you as her sugar daddy the other day, right? What complicated developments happened in all of this, Mr. Kamijou, may I ask if I may?"

"curious?"

"No, no, no, I just don't want people I know to go down a path of crime, I don't want people to end up with a machete! Mo Mojun, can't you really reconsider?"

"Girls... I should find someone who's the right age, one should be enough, right?"

Faced with Touma Kamijou's friendly advice, Momo rolled her eyes. Did the god of seduction, who had grabbed countless girls and wouldn't let go, have the right to say such things to Momo?

Momo didn't answer Touma. Instead, it was Best who answered. She stared at Touma, and her sharp gaze sent a chill down Touma's spine, causing his lips to twitch uncontrollably.

"Um... Miss Cat Ears, Mr. Kamijou definitely didn't intend to stop your relationship with Momo, it's just... it's just..."

"I am not Momo's girlfriend."

Best spoke at this moment, and his first sentence left Touma Kamijou speechless, while his second sentence made Touma Kamijou kneel down.

"At most, my relationship with Momo will be just a mating relationship."

"So please don't tell Misaka Mikoto these things. I won't interfere with Momo and Misaka Mikoto's relationship. If you do anything unnecessary, I'll hate you."

After saying that, Best took Momo's hand and left. To her, Touma's right hand made her feel very uncomfortable. She didn't know what kind of power Touma's right hand held, but that power was also a threat to Best.

So, Momo and Best walked away hand in hand, leaving Touma Kamijou in a gloomy state, roaring to the sky, "What a misfortune!"

Touma Kamijou couldn't understand why, when he was trying to stop something destined to be tragic in the name of justice and morality, everyone hated him instead.

Is this also part of being born with bad luck?

However, Touma Kamijou was also an optimistic person. After groaning for a few seconds, he stood up and stole a disdainful glance at Momo's retreating figure. Clearly, Touma Kamijou despised Momo's behavior of always targeting young girls, and he was confident that he would never do such a thing.

However, Touma Kamijou was unaware that his little girl was already on her way via international express delivery.

……

Momo and Best walked down the street, truly demonstrating what it means to have a 200% head-turning rate.

If Momo's good looks and physique only attracted girls, then Best's cuteness was a true heartbreaker for both men and women. Needless to say, the men were captivated, and the girls on the street were all staring at the petite cat-eared girl, Best, with shining eyes.

Even after walking only a few hundred meters, the two were blocked by several groups of girls. If Mo Mo hadn't been holding Best and protecting her, Best's pure cat ears would have been defiled by someone other than Mo Mo.

"Mo Mo..."

As Best walked, she felt an increasing pressure building within her. This was something she had found incredibly difficult to accept from the beginning, and after walking several hundred meters and being surrounded by onlookers, it was gradually crossing her bottom line.

Although Best has now confirmed that, thanks to Momo's efforts, the people of Academy City will no longer treat her as a monster, she is still inexplicably bursting with enthusiasm for her.

It's like two extremes; the extreme dislike that Best expected didn't happen, but instead, she was extremely loved.

Although this wasn't the situation Best hated the most, it was still unbearable for her.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Best. That's all for today. Let's find a place to rest."

So, amidst the screams of a large group of girls following behind, Momo kissed Best's ear, then swept Best up in her arms and flew high into the air, leaving behind only the new urban legend of the cat-eared prince and the cat-eared princess.

When the two landed again, they had arrived in front of the movie theater.

185 This is a matter of face!

Upon seeing the movie theater, Best breathed a sigh of relief; clearly, she knew exactly what a movie theater was.

Have you been here before?

Best nodded and said, "I've watched movies to supplement my basic common sense, but they weren't very interesting stories, and I couldn't quite understand the human emotions in them."

Momo nodded. This was exactly what Best lacked right now. It wasn't that she was ignorant, but rather that she only had concepts without experience.

Just as someone who has never been on a battlefield cannot understand its cruelty and madness, someone who has never gone hungry cannot truly appreciate the value of food.

"In that case, which movie should I choose?"

Since they were already there, even though Best had stated he didn't quite understand the film, Momo still planned to experience it together. After all, this was a date for two, and watching a movie together is clearly different from watching it alone.

Mo Mo looked at the movie posters and screening schedule in the cinema, which made her frown.

Mo Mo wasn't very familiar with the entertainment industry in this world, but just by looking at the movie advertisements, he knew that there shouldn't be any blockbusters dominating the box office at the moment.

Also, probably because this is Academy City, and it's currently school time, the movies that are about to be shown seem to be mostly low-budget art films.

This kind of thing...

Huh?

Momo had initially thought that Best, who wasn't emotionally fully aware of all this, wouldn't like these types of films, but Best stared intently at a poster without moving.

Mo Mo looked over and immediately revealed a knowing smile.

The poster depicts an elderly man with white hair, bent over with difficulty, his eyes fixed on his feet. At his feet, a dirty and wounded stray cat looks up at the old man.

Judging from the appearance, this should be a heartwarming film similar to "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale". The poster is located in a corner, and the screening is only in a small, secluded theater, with two screenings in the afternoon.

This made Mo Mo sigh that although the film took a heartwarming route of unrequited love between humans and pets, it obviously failed to capture the audience's tear ducts, perhaps due to the director's limited skill.

"Want to see?"

Momo didn't care about the movie's plot, because she was there for a date with Best. Best immediately nodded and said, "Is this about the bond between a human and a cat...? I'd like to see."

Soon, under the ticket seller's ambiguous gaze, Momo led Best into a small screening room in the corner. Just as Momo had expected, the entire screening room was empty, without a single person in sight.

Since that's the case, Momo didn't stand on ceremony. He pulled Best to the best spot, and then, to Best's surprise, picked him up and placed him on his lap.

"Mo Mo?"

Best looked up in confusion and said, "Didn't we buy two tickets?"

"I just want to hold Best, don't you like it?" As she spoke, Momo Best put her ear in her mouth and gently licked it.

Best shuddered and immediately slumped into Mo Mo's arms, whispering, "I don't hate it."

By the time the movie started, Best's eyes were already wet, and his gaze as he looked at the screen had become somewhat unfocused.

However, now that the movie had started, Best still struggled to see the screen not far away. This was her date with Momo, and since she was there, she had to do her best to play her role, regardless of whether she understood it or not.

Meanwhile, Momo simply multitasked, diligently keeping Best's ears constantly trembling while enjoying the movie that almost no one else was paying attention to.

After watching for a few minutes, Mo Mo realized where the movie went wrong. The director attempted to use anthropomorphism to depict the encounter and friendship between a human and a cat, culminating in the cat's steadfast devotion after the old man's death.

However, the director clearly overlooked one point: a cat is a cat. Or rather, cats have a fixed image in most people's minds. This director made the cat protagonist in the film behave too much like a human, which has ruined the image that cats should have.

If this film had been made into an animated film, presented as a fairy tale, it would likely have moved many children to tears. However, the director's choice to use the perspective of an elderly man with white hair, adding a slow-paced and lengthy philosophical commentary, makes the entire film feel completely out of place.

If I had to describe this movie, it would be that it's a nonsensical film that the director poured his heart and soul into making.

How pitiful, how lamentable.

I wonder if this unknown director will lose confidence due to the dismal box office performance and leave the film industry altogether?

However, Momo didn't care how bad the movie was. She was there specifically to watch Best, and her adorable expression as she tried to understand the plot while enduring the stimulation of her massage was just part of the experience. As for the actual story, all Momo needed to do was understand it.

This is Momo and Best's private space. In the dark movie theater, Momo is holding Best, who is completely limp and defenseless. What should they do next?

Hmm, what should we do?

"Hey, hurry up! The competition has already started!"

However, at this moment, a female voice broke the silence in the movie theater, which made Mo Mo slightly startled. He turned his head and saw four girls filing in through the door.

they……

"Ah, it's really starting already! Takitsubo, it's all your fault! I told you you could sleep in the movie theater after the movie started, why did you have to waste time on the way here!"

Although the light was dim, Momo immediately recognized who the four people were, especially the girl who rushed towards Momo's direction first. She liked to add the word "super" to her sentences to emphasize her point, and that was none other than Kinuhata Seiai.

Following behind her could only be three other members of the same Dark Item: Mugino Shizuri, Takitsubo Rigo, and Frenda Seville.

To think I'd run into them here!

This made Momo look at the utterly uninteresting movie with a newfound respect. Perhaps Momo should thank the director for his hard work in creating a B-movie that Kinuhata Saiai could appreciate?

Hmm... the director would probably cry if he heard that.

"There are so many people here! Why would anyone want to take a prime-time seat for a movie like this?!"

Kinuhata Saiai arrived not far behind Momo, looking at Momo sitting in the prime spot with a face full of surprise.

Behind her was Mugino Shizuri, who had her arms crossed and looked impatient. Behind Mugino Shizuri was Frenda, who was looking around with excited curiosity. Frenda was holding the hand of Takitsubo Riko, who was always drowsy and could never wake up.
