Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Mo Mo was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that Asuna had agreed.

"Oh, Asuna, I love you, I love you the most, mwah!"

P.S.: Thank you so much for the monthly pass from Miku!　

137 Oh hahahaha

After saying goodbye to Asuna, Momo walked along humming a light tune. He had already asked Yagyu Masayoshi to help him find information about Argo.

Although all of this is confidential to ordinary people, it is not too difficult because what Momo is looking for is just the personal information of an ordinary player.

"Dad...you're not angry, are you?"

Yui's voice was timid and a little soft. She seemed to have hesitated for a long time before speaking to Momo.

"Why should I be angry?"

"Because Yui made the decision on her own... to tell Asuna's mother everything. In fact, Yui first got Asuna's mother to accept her as a mother, and then became a Heroic Spirit along with her father, before telling Asuna's mother everything."

Yui's voice trembled with a hint of a sob as she said, "I know, Dad, this should be called a threat, right? But Yui... Yui is a little worried..."

"Alright, Yui."

Mo Mo gently comforted Yui, saying, "Actually, I am a little angry, but not at you. You did this for my own good, didn't you?"

"But Yui, I should have been the one to bear all of this. I should have been the one atoning for my sins and asking Asuna for forgiveness. Instead, because of your intervention, I've become the middleman."

Yui looked a little confused and said, "Yui, I don't quite understand."

"Well, actually, some things are hard to explain. To put it bluntly, it's just self-comfort I'm trying to find. After all, once you've done something, you have to take responsibility for it."

"Yui still doesn't understand..."

"It's better if you don't understand. If you ever understand, Yui, then you'll be just like me, not a good person."

"Dad isn't a bad person, Dad is the best person in the world!"

"NONONO, Yui, remember, many times, Daddy would rather be the bad guy!"

Mo Mo's face showed a hint of helplessness as he said, "After all, sometimes, you only have the right to choose when you're a bad person, and then you can choose to do good things even as a bad person."

……

Momo didn't wait long before Argo's message arrived.

She wouldn't receive the same treatment as Momo and Asuna. Instead, like other players, she was centrally resettled by the government at one of the well-established resettlement sites, which currently houses 500 players. But presumably, starting today, the mission at these resettlement sites will also begin to come to an end.

Soon, Momo set off directly for the resettlement site to find Argo and see the girl who had forcibly entered his heart.

However, now, she is no longer called Argo.

……

Argo woke up.

No, it should be said that Uehara Shino has woken up.

The smell of disinfectant instantly made her realize where she was, and combined with her last memory, she understood her current predicament.

"A hospital?"

She opened her eyes. It was an ordinary hospital room. Although the curtains were drawn, the light was dim, but the dim light still made Uehara Shino feel a little glared at her.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

An aged female voice came from beside her ear. Uehara Shino suddenly turned her head. Her weak muscles made her almost hear her joints twisting, but she still stubbornly turned her head away.

The old woman wore a traditional Japanese hairstyle, but her stylish reading glasses somewhat disrupted the atmosphere. This odd attire drew criticism from Uehara Shino more than once, but the old woman always listened to her complaints with a smile.

A tear rolled down her cheek, and Uehara Shino grinned, saying, "Grandma, I'm sorry to have worried you."

The old woman smiled, her squinting eyes glistening with tears, and said, "I'm not worried. My little granddaughter just had a good sleep. It's just that this time it took a little longer than usual. Promise me you won't do it again, okay?"

"Yes, I promise, I guarantee it!"

Tears blurred Uehara Shino's eyes. She pursed her lips, trying not to cry out, but her whole body trembled.

"This child..."

The old man reached out and wiped away Uehara Shino's tears, saying, "It's nothing serious. My little granddaughter is here perfectly fine, isn't she? We've had government staff taking care of us during this time, and everything is fine. In fact, our lives are even better than before."

“Your grandfather even said that we should just let you keep sleeping, otherwise our pensions won’t be enough to live on.”

Uehara Shino was both amused and annoyed, and said, "My grandfather is really... sigh."

Uehara Shino wasn't angry at all, because she knew her grandfather's personality very well. To put it bluntly, her grandfather was a bit of a rascal and had a big mouth. He offended a lot of people when he was young, but in his old age, his big mouth became a cute thing about him.

"Hmph, now I'm awake, and Grandpa's dream has been shattered."

"Ah, no, that's not right."

Uehara Shino seemed to realize something, and looking into her grandmother's kind eyes, she said, "Actually, Grandpa's dream of living a good life is about to come true."

"Huh? What happened?"

"whee……"

Uehara Shino took her grandmother's hand and said, "Grandma, you always said that your granddaughter was crazy and didn't have any ladylike manners, and that she would never be able to get married in the future. But the facts prove that you were wrong, Grandma."

"I was wrong?"

Grandma was a little puzzled, but her life experience allowed her to see some clues on Uehara Shino's face.

"Could it be... that my little granddaughter has finally found her sweetheart? But I remember you said you wanted to find a handsome, young, compatible, rich prince charming who would always love and take care of you? Does such a boy really exist in the world?"

"Well, aside from not being a Prince Charming, he's barely qualified!"

"Oh dear, so should I prepare red bean rice for my little granddaughter?"

Uehara Shino originally wanted to show off in front of her grandmother, but the old woman's calmness and smile made her feel embarrassed. She said, "Grandma, are you making fun of me?"

"Of course not. In fact, I think highly of that kid. It's been a long time since I've seen such a good boy."

"Yeah, that's right... Oh, wait, that's not right!"

Uehara Shino sensed something amiss in her grandmother's words. Had her grandmother already met Mo Mo?

How is this possible? She just woke up, so how come Mo Mo is already here? They started playing the game together!

"Oh, you forgot?"

Grandma tapped Uehara Shino's head and said, "When you first woke up just now, I called you to get up, but you insisted that it was Sunday and you wanted to sleep a little longer."

"If everyone hadn't woken up, you would have worried Grandma again. Honestly, only a wild little girl like you would do something like this. Just how carefree are you!"

Uehara Shino was stunned. Her hazy memories began to resurface, and she remembered that there had indeed been such a scene just now.

After she woke up, she was still half asleep and thought she was at home. Especially after hearing her grandmother's words, she instinctively covered her head with the blanket, mumbled a few words, and then fell fast asleep.

"I……"

Uehara Shino felt that her life was a complete failure!

"By the way, Mo Mo didn't see that just now, did he?"

Uehara Shino hurriedly asked, clinging to the last glimmer of hope, but her grandmother's answer filled her with despair.

"Yes, that boy was poking your cheek, and you grabbed his hand, saying, 'Mo Mo, stop fooling around.' That's why your grandfather and I were reassured about his identity. Honestly, Xiao Xiao, when did you meet your boyfriend? Why didn't you tell us?"

Uehara Shino realized that her grandparents probably thought Mo Mo was someone Uehara Shino knew in real life. But that was fine too. Although her grandmother seemed very relaxed on the surface, Uehara Shino definitely didn't want to mention the game to her anymore.

Uehara Shino took a breath and then asked softly, "Um, Grandma, where is Mo Mo now?"

According to Uehara Shinobu, she definitely couldn't show her face in her hospital gown like this. Even if she couldn't change her clothes, she should at least fix her hair.

However, before Grandma could answer, a laugh that Uehara Shino knew all too well came from outside the door.

"Hahaha, kid, not bad at all, you know so much!"

"Not at all, Grandpa, you flatter me. I only know about it, but you experienced it firsthand. The 80s were Japan's golden age, a time that everyone longs for."

"Hmm, not bad, kid. We'll have a good chat sometime. There aren't many young men like you who are so knowledgeable and have such a good attitude. No wonder that little girl took a liking to you. Alright, I'll leave my granddaughter to you. She's a wild child, so remember to discipline her properly!"

"Oh, right, I'll tell you about her habits and hobbies. You can use that to prevent her from arguing with you later..."

The two voices grew closer and closer. Uehara Shino felt that her life and image had completely collapsed. She shouted angrily, "Grandpa, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll make sure you don't drink alcohol for a year!"

The old man's voice abruptly stopped, vanishing without a trace, as if it had never existed. A few seconds later, an old man, almost completely bald but with a goatee, peeked in like a mischievous child and whispered, "Old woman, is your granddaughter awake?"

"I'm right here, pretending you can't see me won't work!"

"Oh, hahaha," the old man wiped his bald head and said, "Well, now that my granddaughter is awake, old woman, let's hurry up and go out, give the young people some time!"

"Don't even think about running away, no matter how high-sounding your reasons are!"

Grandma shook her head helplessly, but stood up and said, "Alright, Xiaoxiao, even if your grandpa is being irresponsible, don't yell and shout. You've only just recovered."

As she spoke, she looked at Mo Mo, who had also walked in, and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, but that's just how my husband is."

“No,” Mo Mo smiled and shook his head, saying, “Grandpa’s temperament means he is destined to live a long life. I think he will definitely live to be a hundred.”

Grandpa patted Mo Mo's shoulder heavily and said, "Hmm, as expected of my grandson-in-law, he knows how to talk. Granddaughter, don't let him get away, or I'll disown you as my granddaughter!"

138 Momo in Action

The two elderly people left the room with smiles on their faces, leaving only Mo Mo with a smile on her face and Shang Yuanxiao with a gloomy expression.

“My life is completely over… Momo, it’s not too late for you to regret it now, my image is completely transparent.”

"Wasn't it already transparent? I've seen it many times in SAO!"

"Pah, you lecher!"

Uehara Shino's face flushed slightly as she pointed to the chair by the bed and said, "How could you bear to come here? What about Asuna? Didn't Asuna tear you to pieces?"

Mo Mo sat down and patted his chest. Uehara Shino snorted and leaned into Mo Mo's arms without any hesitation, looking like she was afraid of no one.

"How could that be? Asuna loves me very much, just like you, Shino."

"Alas--"

Uehara Shino's body trembled as she said, "Why do you call my name? It makes me feel so ashamed and uncomfortable. Mo Mo, is your voice poisonous?"
