Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"There's no other way, Mugino, let's sit in the row behind that guy. We can't sit on either side of him, can we? It's such a waste of this best view!"

Why go through all this trouble?

Mugino Shizuri looked in Momo's direction and said impatiently, "I should have realized long ago that I shouldn't waste my time watching this boring stuff. It would be more meaningful to go home and sleep than to stay here."

"But since we're here, we should choose the best spots. You over there, don't hogging the good spots by yourself, give us some space."

Mugino Shizuri clearly didn't take anyone seriously. Being dragged to watch a B-movie by Kinuhata Saiai was already making her a little annoyed, and now she actually had to give up her seat to a weakling boy who ran off to watch a B-movie during class time?

What a joke!

Clearly, Mugino Shizuri has automatically distorted the entire course of events, completely ignoring the fact that it was they who came later and intended to take Momo's position.

"Mugino, this isn't right..."

Frenda tugged at Mugino Shizuri's sleeve, earning her a glare from him. Meanwhile, Kinuhata Saiai leaned over and whispered to Mugino Shizuri, "Um, Mugino, wait a minute, there's more than one person on the other side!"

Mugino Shizuri was taken aback. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that Mo Mo was holding a petite girl in Tokiwadai school uniform.

Although the girl had her back to them, the rosy cheeks she revealed trembled slightly, and coupled with her heavy breathing, the four members of Item immediately realized something.

The people sitting there weren't just one person, but a couple. Now, this couple was embracing, and under the cover of darkness in the movie theater, they were doing something that made the petite girl tremble and gasp for breath.

Hmm... what is it?

Aside from Takitsubo Riko, who was drowsy and unaware of what had happened, and perhaps even where she was, the other three girls stiffened.

Flanda's eyes gleamed, a mysterious blush appeared on her face, and she desperately craned her neck to look in Mo Mo's direction, muttering things like "How bold."

Kinuhata Saiai, who is always competitive and wants to appear mature and composed, looked a little unnatural at this moment. She spoke in a much softer voice, saying, "Mugino, maybe we shouldn't bother them anymore... Or, we should just leave."

"Anyway, Mugino doesn't like it, does she? It's super awkward at times like this. I'll just come by myself next time."

Kinuhata's true love is simply her concern for Mugino Shizuri's feelings, but Mugino Shizuri doesn't quite get the taste of her words.

As the leader of Item, the oldest member, and a core member in every aspect, if Mugino Shizuri were to panic and run away with her teammates just because two people were doing something indecent nearby...

What kind of leader is she? What qualifications does she have to become a Level 5 in Academy City? Why is she called the fourth Atomic Honkai?

This is no longer a question of whether she likes the movie or not; it's a matter of her reputation!

What kind of behavior is it to run away over something so trivial!

Then, Mugino Shizuri stepped forward and walked straight to the row behind Momo, saying, "Since you're here, why go out? You're all too young; can't you even handle something this simple?"

"Oh oh oh!"

Frenda made a strange sound, then stopped Takitsubo Ri and followed her, eager to learn from her up close.

As for Kinuhata Saiai, she reluctantly followed, though her steps were somewhat stiff.

186 You've angered the cats!

The four people sat down in the row behind Momo. The movie continued to play, and Momo, who was in front of them, seemed to have no intention of paying attention to them.

Despite the film's constant ambiguity and dialogue, the girl in the boy's arms, with her somewhat heavy breathing and a strange snoring sound, kept escaping into the ears of the four people.

Mugino Shizuri's face turned ashen. She then remembered that she had just asked the boy to give up his seat for the four of them, but he hadn't responded at all. Didn't that mean he was completely ignoring her?

Thinking of this, Mugino Shizuri felt an urge to unleash an Atomic Collapse attack. She was already a top figure in Academy City; how dare someone ignore her?

However, the thought of the boy in front of her holding a girl and doing intimate things with her immediately made Mugino Shizuri's impulse disappear, and even the violent impulse in her heart seemed to vanish completely.

Mugino Shizuri was unaware of her situation and couldn't understand it, which only fueled her anger, as the situation seemed to be beyond her control.

In fact, right now, among the four members of Item, apart from Takitsubo Riko who finally has a seat where she can comfortably sleep soundly, Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai are in similar situations.

On the surface, all three of them came to see a movie, but none of them could watch the film anymore, not even Kinuhata Saiai, who was most interested in B-movies.

Kinuhata always pretends to be watching a movie, but her eyes are always looking up at the roof. She occasionally taps her cheek with her finger, pretending to be deep in thought.

Normally, Kinuhata Saiai would definitely recommend her philosophy of B-movies to Mugino Shizuri and Frenda, which is to see how a super serious director can ruin a movie.

Frenda, on the other hand, was even more blatant. She kept adjusting her position, trying to get around Momo's back to see the condition of Best, who was being held in Momo's arms, and then to find out what Momo and Best were doing.

Is it caressing, kissing, or boldly and shamelessly taking it a step further... hehe!

Finally, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, Frenda stood up and decided to peek through the darkness.

"Frenda!"

Just as Frenda was about to peek over the shoulder, Mugino Shizuri called out to her. Frenda turned around stiffly and saw Mugino Shizuri's ashen face, and immediately felt a chill run down her spine.

She immediately sat back down in her seat, lowered her head and forcibly suppressed her curiosity, keeping her eyes down and acting like a good girl.

However, Best's breathing kept drilling into Frenda's mind like a curse, making it impossible for her to calm down. She couldn't help it; Frenda was completely absorbed in all of this, especially with a reality show possibly unfolding in front of her—she just wanted to catch a glimpse.

As for Mugino Shizuri, although she taught Frenda a lesson, Mugino Shizuri knew that she was just taking the opportunity to vent her anger.

The incompetent performance of both sides further infuriated Mugino Shizuri. The only thing that could put his mind at ease now was the soundly sleeping Takitsubo Riko. Although Takitsubo Riko was ignoring the awkward situation by sleeping, she was still the best performer.

Damn it... What's wrong with me? It's just those things, why is it so awkward?

Mugino Shizuri didn't understand why she couldn't remain calm in the face of such a situation. The real reason wasn't complicated: having never experienced any youthful dramas, Mugino Shizuri didn't understand what it felt like to have her girlish heart flare up.

Perhaps Mugino Shizuri never imagined that she had a girlish heart?

Kinuhata Saiai vaguely understood, but after all, she was only twelve years old, and what she understood more was her lack of understanding and her shyness.

The only one who roughly understood everything was Frenda, but while secretly glancing at Mugino Shizuri's restless appearance, she secretly chuckled to herself while sitting upright and refusing to say another word.

If Mugino Shizuri were to suddenly become a girlish fantasist... I bet Frenda would be the one killed by Mugino Shizuri first, right?

Just pretend nothing happened... This movie was really good, what was it called again?

Time ticked by, and Mugino Shizuri, legs crossed, stared intently at Mo Mo's retreating figure. Her fingers tapped incessantly on her arms, a clear sign of her growing impatience.

By now, several tens of minutes had passed, the movie was halfway through, the old woman was on the verge of death, and the two people in front of her, embracing each other and doing something intimate, showed no signs of stopping.

Especially since the current movies consist of long, silent takes, Best's breathing sounds even clearer, making Mugino Shizuri want to kick the two people in front of her.

Mugino Shizuri pondered for a few seconds with a blank expression before deciding to do so.

There was nothing she could do; the two people beside her had started acting a bit strange. Kinuhata Saiai had completely abandoned her pretense, looking down at her legs with a faint blush on her face, practically ready to close her eyes and cover her ears.

Meanwhile, Frenda appeared to be engrossed in watching the movie, but Mugino Shizuri clearly saw that Frenda's legs were pressed tightly together under her skirt, and her knees were rubbing together at an almost imperceptible frequency.

As for what Frenda was doing, Mugino Shizuri knew very well, since she would do similar things.

All of this made Mugino Shizuri increasingly furious. They were the Dark Items of Academy City, after all. They had seen all sorts of life and death, and faced all sorts of dark sides.

But now, all the members of Item are crumbling one by one because of the current embarrassing situation. How can Mugino Shizuri tolerate this?

"Stop it, you bastard!"

Mugino Shizuri finally delivered the kick, which landed on the back of Momo's seat. However, before Mugino Shizuri could continue uttering harsh words, a girl's exclamation brought Mugino Shizuri to an abrupt halt.

"Mugino, don't do that! It's really bothering people!"

"Wow, Mai is angry! He really is angry!"

Mugino Shizuri, who had initially felt a little apologetic for his actions, was enraged again by the fact that his two subordinates were not on his side. He then stepped on the back of Momo's chair and started shaking it.

"If you're so desperate, then get your ass to a hotel room!"

Mugino Shizuri's act of kicking the chair finally made the two people in front of him stand up. Then, to Mugino Shizuri's surprise, Momo turned around with Best in his arms, looking at Mugino Shizuri with an unfriendly expression.

After all, how could Momo be happy to have his friendly conversation with Best interrupted? Moreover, facing Best, who had completely given up resisting, Momo's hand was already gradually shifting its position, and perhaps it wouldn't be long before it reached an even more mysterious place.

But now, all of this has been ruthlessly interrupted by Mugino Shizuri.

Momo was unhappy, while Mugino Shizuri stared at Momo in astonishment, as did Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai.

"Ears...two cat ears, and they can move!"

Kinuhata's favorite gaze was fixed on the two's ears, while Frenda looked Momo and Best up and down with the eyes of a curious child.

"Impossible! Both of you are fully clothed! What were you doing just now?!"

It was clear that Frenda's imagination was a little slow to catch up at this moment.

Meanwhile, Mugino Shizuri stared intently at Mo Mo's face, a face she had seen not long ago on a commission application.

As for whether to accept this request, Mugino Shizuri was still hesitant and hadn't shown it to anyone else. Therefore, at the moment, she was the only one who knew Momo.

"You know me?"

At this moment, Mo Mo spoke, and Mugino Shizuri's body stiffened. The angry expression that had just been on his face disappeared without a trace, and he seemed to become a little upset.

Mugino Shizuri's change stunned Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai, while Takitsubo Riko, who was standing to the side, finally woke up and realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Mugino... what happened to Chao?"

“Mugino,” Frenda said, her eyes widening, as she leaned closer and whispered, “Could this person be your old flame, Mugino… Pfft!”

Frenda, who was about to say something, was mercilessly punched in the stomach by Mugino Shizuri, and screamed as she squatted on the ground clutching her stomach.

However, this was just Frenda's exaggerated performance; Mugino Shizuri didn't use that much force. Frenda was also taking this opportunity to squat down and make some preparations.

The person who could make Mugino Shizuri's expression change so drastically was definitely not one of Mugino Shizuri's friends. Therefore, after Frenda squatted down, she reached into her skirt and began to adjust the bomb she was carrying.

However, Mugino Shizuri's next words stunned the remaining three, leaving them speechless with disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I acted impulsively and disturbed you. I apologize, we will leave immediately."

After saying that, Mugino Shizuri turned around and bypassed Kinuhata Saiai, whose body was tense and ready to attack. Under the dumbfounded gazes of the three people, he actually intended to leave.

What... exactly is going on?

Could this boy be someone we shouldn't mess with?

Not understanding what had happened, the remaining three girls did not object to Mugino Shizuri's order and planned to follow immediately, but the four of them stopped because of Momo's words.

"Best, do you agree to let them leave? I saw you seemed really angry just now. Do you need me to help you vent your anger?"

The four of them instinctively turned their heads to look at the petite girl in Mo Mo's arms. The girl's eyes seemed to be burning with angry flames in the darkness, which made them feel uneasy.

Best was indeed angry, like a cat purring happily while being petted by its owner, only to have its sweet dreams suddenly disturbed by someone in a rough manner.

If it were a cat with a bossy temperament, it would probably just show its shiny claws and slap it.

However, Best wasn't a cat after all, and she still had that much composure. Although Momo's captivating massage had just been interrupted, Best didn't want to cause Momo any more trouble.

She was about to refuse when she saw a hint of amusement in Mo Mo's eyes.

In an instant, Best felt she understood something. She looked at Momo, then at the Item quartet, and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips.
