Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"I shouldn't have cried. More important than shedding tears is figuring out how to make up with Momo."

"Now you know how to feel sorry for someone?"

Misaki Shokuhou's tone became much lighter as she said, "Things should indeed come to an end here. Another conflict between you and Momo is inevitable, but this is also a good thing, as it allows you to fully understand your own feelings."

"Fairy tales are all lies. Now that the fairy tales have been exposed, you can face reality together. Since you've made up your mind, let's put all of this behind us."

"Ah."

Misaka Mikoto nodded solemnly and said, "When I return to Valhalla, I will apologize to Mo Mo, absolutely!"

"Apologize? There must be a better way than apologizing, right?"

Misaki Shokuhou suddenly laughed and said, "I have a suggestion for you. After you get to Valhalla, when no one is around, push Momo into a corner, then kiss Momo's lips without saying a word. After arousing Momo's passion, straddle Momo's waist and slowly take off your clothes little by little, putting on a seductive smile..."

"I would never do such a thing!"

Misaka Mikoto raised her fist and roared, her face turning bright red. It would have been better if Shokuhou Misaki hadn't mentioned it; the mere mention of it brought back memories of the blissful moments she had shared with Momo.

"It's one thing for Kuroko to be a pervert, but why are you like that too?!"

"You become like those you associate with, Mikoto. Don't worry, whether you like it or not, some things are destined to happen."

"So, how about we go together next time?"

"I'd rather die than do that!"

Misaka Mikoto quickly cut off communication with Shokuhou Misaki. If she were to be teased by Shokuhou Misaki, who had been intimate with Momo countless times, Misaka Mikoto might not be able to resist going to Momo.

Ah... wait, it seems Mo Mo isn't up to par right now?

Ahem, Misaka Mikoto cleared her throat, banishing those thoughts from her mind, and strode forward, ready to continue clearing out the next gathering place of troublemakers.

To Misaka Mikoto's surprise, after arriving here following the directions given by Uiharu Kazari, she found herself surrounded by a group of defeated soldiers lying on the ground, all unconscious.

Standing in the center of the defeated army was a white-haired child with only one arm and an expressionless face.

"One-way?"

Upon hearing this, Accelerator looked up and saw Misaka Mikoto, saying, "What? I thought there were still some survivors, but it turns out to be just another meddlesome body."

As he spoke, Accelerator stepped forward and said, "Or are you deliberately coming to find me? If you feel that losing an arm doesn't satisfy you, then come on, anyway, I can't handle your lightning."

Accelerator's words sounded like he was showing off, but Misaka Mikoto sensed an unspoken meaning in them.

It's true that Accelerator couldn't analyze Misaka Mikoto's Destruction Lightning, but that doesn't mean he was completely helpless against her. After all, aside from reflecting it, Accelerator could have easily tried to dodge Misaka Mikoto's Destruction Lightning.

If Accelerator were to focus his abilities on mobility, he would be incredibly mobile; at least for now, Misaka Mikoto would probably have a hard time hitting him with lightning.

To put it bluntly, beneath Accelerator's seemingly assertive attitude lies his true intention: he has no intention of fighting Misaka Mikoto and is willing to let her do as she pleases.

Upon seeing Accelerator, Misaka Mikoto involuntarily clenched her fists, knowing that Accelerator's crimes could never be absolved. However, upon hearing Accelerator's words, Misaka Mikoto's fingers relaxed again.

Accelerator's crimes are indeed unforgivable, but because of Momo's existence, Accelerator's guilt has been reduced to the level of mere fault.

After all, none of the Misaka Sisters were missing. Accelerator only gave the Misaka Sisters a nightmare of death, and Accelerator also experienced this nightmare of death, even losing an arm in the process.

Furthermore, Accelerator's current awkward attitude of admitting his mistake has made Misaka Mikoto no longer have any desire to take revenge on him.

After all, the ones who truly have the right to take revenge on Accelerator are the Misaka Sisters, and Misaka Mikoto, who has become a Heroic Spirit, has already communicated with the Misaka Sisters and knows that they have forgiven Accelerator from the bottom of their hearts.

"Your sisters have forgiven you."

Misaka Mikoto didn't intend to say much more to Accelerator; she simply told him the truth.

After saying that, Misaka Mikoto was about to turn and leave, but Accelerator shouted, "Don't joke around!"

Accelerator's eyes widened, his only hand clenched into a fist and swung as if he intended to attack Misaka Mikoto, saying, "Forgive me? Haha, how is that possible? I killed tens of thousands of sisters, and they actually forgave me?"

Misaka Mikoto sighed softly and said, "Do you need me to find one of your sisters to tell you this in person? If you continue your actions, you should encounter your sisters, because they are about to start maintaining order in Academy City. Right now, they are dressed as soldiers."

"If you still don't believe me, I can call the Last Order over. You should believe her, right?"

Accelerator's ferocious expression vanished abruptly, replaced by silence as he stared at Misaka Mikoto, lost in thought.

"Honestly, you're such an awkward person. Why are you so awkward? Wouldn't it be better to be more honest? If you were more open, none of this would have happened..."

Misaka Mikoto sighed, lamenting both herself and Accelerator.

"I'll say it one last time: we've all forgiven you, but you... Accelerator, when will you forgive yourself?"

That's all I wanted to say!

Misaka Mikoto waved her hand, intending to leave to clear out the next location, when Accelerator spoke up, saying, "I've found out where Kanemoto Teitoku is now. There are a lot of fighting forces gathered there. I alone cannot guarantee that I can annihilate them."

"Third person, let me do one last thing for you."

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto was taken aback, but then a smile appeared on her lips.

"I accept this proposal."

229 Mugino Shizuri didn't take her medicine.

At this moment, the experimental base of Huan Gendi and his group is still in a state of intense activity. Huan Gendi has not yet shown any signs of waking up, but a large-scale deployment of defensive forces has begun inside the base.

The most basic defensive force was Kihara's large hound squad.

As Aleister's direct subordinate, Kihara Kazuta naturally had ways to contact him. Now that Aleister had left without any intention of cleaning up the mess, and with Misaki Shokuhou and Jiang Lihua already taking action, Kihara Kazuta most likely already knew that something had gone wrong with Aleister.

Kihara Kazuta was originally the leader of the Hound Unit, but both Kihara Kazuta and the Hound Unit were directly under Aleister's command. Now that Aleister has left, the Hound Unit naturally takes direct orders from Kihara Kazuta and reports only to him.

Besides the Hound Squad, many other ability users have also moved into the base. They are clearly like Item, even if they are not members of the Dark Side, they are still characters in the shadows.

The area around Takayuki Kagane has practically become a gathering place for the darkness of Academy City. This is clearly not solely due to Kagane Kagane's efforts to win people over; it is more a result of the Kihara family's influence.

The Kihara family dares to target even Level 5 espers, and is capable of plotting against them; let alone students who aren't espers. Once they're involved in the darkness of Academy City, how could they possibly resist the Kihara family's freaks and perverts?

If you don't want to be pushed into the abyss of despair by the Kihara family, then you can only obey the Kihara family's orders and live on in the shadows with your head down.

However, regardless of their background, character, or dark history, the purpose of these people is basically the same: to protect the base and assist Emperor Huangen.

Even if these people don't trust each other, as long as they share the same goal, they can be good temporary comrades. At least if your comrades are strong, you can be more relaxed and safer.

However, not everyone thought so. At least the Item quartet, whose dog ears had been forcibly transformed by Momo and who attracted attention wherever they went, did not feel any sense of security because of the current situation. On the contrary, they were even more uneasy.

Especially Frenda and Kinuhata, as the calm and lively representatives of Item, and also the two girls in Item who are closest to normal people, are very worried about Mugino Shizuri's strange changes in the past two days.

What happened to Mugino Shizuri?

This all started with Mugino Shizuri's personality.

What kind of girl is Mugino Shizuri?

Mugino Shizuri's personality can ultimately be described as violent. His outward gentleness is just a disguise. Once something goes wrong, he will be enraged, his rationality will be weakened, and he will use his abilities to wreak havoc, completely disregarding the lives of his teammates.

This is evident from Mugino Shizuri's decision to cut the adorable Frenda in half in the original work.

Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda were very clear about Mugino Shizuri's personality. The two of them not only respected Mugino Shizuri, but also revered him, and even feared him deep down.

Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda, who had spent a long time with Mugino Shizuri, had long since mastered how to get along with him and knew how far they should emotionally distance themselves from him. All of this was an important reason why Mugino Shizuri was able to successfully and for a long time dominate Item.

Mugino Shizuri's tyranny was deeply imprinted in the hearts of Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda from the very beginning. Neither of them ever thought about changing Mugino Shizuri's temper, nor did they ever dare to imagine what Mugino Shizuri would be like if he changed his temper.

However, the Mugino Shizuri standing before the two of them now seems to have truly changed his temperament.

Putting everything else aside, just look at Takitsubo Rigo!

At this moment, Takitsubo Riko was still sleeping. Nothing in this world could stop her determination to sleep. Takitsubo Riko, who was usually drowsy and would fall asleep at the first opportunity, was the most normal Takitsubo Riko.

It's perfectly normal for Takitsubo Riko to sleep; the question is where she sleeps and in what position. Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda have been staring at Takitsubo Riko sleeping with expressions of utter disbelief for a good half hour and a half now.

If it's normal for someone like Frenda, with her quirky personality, to repeatedly put on a dumbfounded and comical expression, then the fact that Kinuhata Saiai, a primary school student who usually forces herself to remain calm and act like a little adult, is also wide-eyed with surprise means that Kinuhata Saiai has indeed seen something she could never have imagined.

What did they see that shocked them so much?

They saw the lap pillow, the one that Mugino Shizuri had given to Takitsubo Riko!

Takitsubo Riko's head rested on Mugino Shizuri's lap, her body curled up on the sofa. It seemed that Mugino Shizuri's good physique and fleshy thighs made Takitsubo Riko very comfortable; as she slept, a sweet smile played on her lips, as if she were having a sweet dream.

Of course, a simple lap pillow wouldn't have surprised Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai to this extent. Although they had never seen or imagined that Mugino Shizuri would offer a lap pillow, Mugino Shizuri still maintained a facade of gentleness!

Suppose this scenario takes place after a major battle, with Takitsubo Riko exhausted, and Mugino Shizuri, for a moment of kindness and patience, grants Takitsubo Riko the privilege of having a lap pillow for a while—that's quite conceivable…

However, what Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda couldn't understand the most was that Mugino Shizuri also had a relaxed smile on his lips at this moment.

Giving Takitsubo Riko a lap pillow for an hour didn't make Mugino Shizuri show any impatience. On the contrary, Mugino Shizuri seemed to enjoy this close time with Takitsubo Riko, and even subconsciously stroked Takitsubo Riko's hair little by little, the action was indescribably intimate and gentle.

If Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda hadn't been absolutely certain that the mature girl with husky ears in front of them was Mugino Shizuri, they probably would have panicked long ago, wondering if they were under someone's psychological control and seeing hallucinations that shouldn't have happened.

Don't be ridiculous, Mugino Shizuri can be gentle?

The violent Mugino Shizuri surprisingly gave Takitsubo Riko a gentle lap pillow with a tender smile and gently stroked her hair, allowing her to continue her sweet dream.

Mugino Shizuri... has she taken the wrong medicine?

Or did Mugino Shizuri forget to take her medicine today?

No, I can't stop taking the medicine, my persona has completely changed!

If the above scenarios were barely acceptable to Frenda and Kinuhata, then Mugino Shizuri's occasional unconscious actions made them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, completely unable to understand them.

Sure enough, the husky ears on Mugino Shizuri's head twitched, and she subconsciously reached out to stroke them. However, her sensitive ears couldn't withstand any touch, and Mugino Shizuri immediately let out a sweet, heavy breathing sound.

Mugino Shizuri's face flushed, a blush that was a mixture of shyness and annoyance.

That alone would have been one thing, but Mugino Shizuri seemed to have developed a liking for this kind of touching, making the motion of combing her hair every few minutes.

However, combing her hair was just an excuse; her real intention was to touch her ears. The constant touching kept Mugino Shizuri's face subtly flushed, and this mysterious blush that she tried to suppress but couldn't quite contain made Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda feel a sudden flutter in their hearts.

At this moment, Mugino Shizuri... actually had the air of a girl in love. Could it be that the hair clip on Mugino Shizuri's head was different from the hair clips on the two people on her side? It not only felt comfortable to the touch, but it also had a brainwashing function.

This is absolutely terrifying!

Thinking of this, Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda exchanged a glance, seeing the determination in each other's eyes. Mugino Shizuri's current situation could be described as an anomaly, and they needed to understand what this anomaly was and why it had occurred.

If they don't figure out what happened, how will they get along with Mugino Shizuri afterward?

Having made up her mind, Frenda was the first to act. She carefully approached Mugino Shizuri and sat down close to him, their bodies pressed together.

Normally, this distance would be too close for Mugino Shizuri, and would make him unhappy or even angry. Therefore, Flanda's heart was pounding as she made this move, fearing that she would get a slap on the forehead from Mugino Shizuri.

Why are you standing so close?

Before Frenda could figure out what to say to Mugino Shizuri, Mugino Shizuri spoke first. The content of her words immediately sent a chill down Frenda's spine. Was Mugino Shizuri still the same Mugino Shizuri? Did she get angry just because she was getting so close?

But... this shouldn't be happening. Why can Takitsubo Riko get so close, but Frenda can't?
