Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

This kind of explosion is insane; it could destroy him as well as those around him.

For Takumi Mayuzumi, that was Haruyuki Arita's bottom line.

Specifically, for Haruyuki Arita right now, there is nothing to be happy about in his life, studies, or overall existence; it seems as if the whole world is full of malice towards him.

The only happy memories he retained were those of his childhood with Dai Taku and Kurashima Chiyuri. Perhaps these memories were also the weight on his heart, suppressing his final outburst.

Now, Dai Taku has betrayed him, and his bottom line has been broken.

However, what Haruyuki Arita did next surprised Mo Mo.

Haruyuki Arita got up, knelt down facing Mo Mo, and respectfully performed the dogeza (a traditional Tibetan Buddhist ritual).

Mo Mo frowned slightly.

Unlike in China, kneeling in Japan carries less weight and is not associated with humiliation. It is more of a gesture of respect, a form of apology by prostrating oneself. In ancient times, it was used to express humility towards people of high status, while in modern times it is generally used to express the deepest apology or a sincere request.

However, there is no doubt that the dogeza (a deep bowing gesture) is the most sincere act of apology.

"Are you going to plead for Takumi Mayuzumi? But the issue right now isn't how I'm going to hold you accountable, but rather, Haruyuki Arita, what exactly is going on between you and Takumi Mayuzumi?"

"Although I have a feeling that you are not with Dai Taku, my bodyguard eventually told me about your actions, that you were trying to warn us of danger."

"Based on that alone, I will accept your goodwill. But you need to prove that you have no connection with Dai Taku, and then I will not pursue the matter further."

"As for Dai Tuowu, he is different. He is the mastermind and must be punished. All of this has nothing to do with you."

Faced with Mo Mo's explanation, Haruyuki Arita finally spoke his mind, but it was something Mo Mo hadn't expected.

"No, I'm not asking for forgiveness on behalf of Dai Taku. If he really did commit a crime, he must be punished! I just want to beg you to let me see him. I will ask him as many questions as possible to find out the reason for our encounter."

"Please give me this chance. I will do my best to beat him up. Besides, this is a matter between Dai Taku and me. You don't need to take any responsibility!"

Please help me!

40. Do you want to know the meaning of life?

Seeing Haruyuki Arita's expression, it's not hard to guess what he's up to. Even after being treated so cruelly by Takumi Dai, he probably still wants to persuade Takumi Dai and see if he can bring him back.

In the original work, Haruyuki Arita did just that. Even though Takumi Mayuzumi was the one who planted the Trojan horse in Chiyuri Kurashima and had been secretly plotting against Kuroyukihime all along, he even planned to take away an important part of Kuroyukihime's life—Accel World—while Kuroyukihime was injured and unconscious.

Although this person has never done anything heinous, and his actions may not even be punished by law, Mo Mo really dislikes him.

Haruyuki Arita tried his best to correct his friend until the very end. Perhaps from his own perspective, he valued friendship and Takumi Dai's performance, which was understandable to him. However, Momo and Takumi Dai had no connection.

Mo Mo originally had no intention of using Dai Tuowu's fighting power, so naturally he wouldn't deliberately recruit Dai Tuowu, not to mention that Dai Tuowu is now a transmigrator.

Therefore, Momo is thinking about how to deal with Dai Taku, and how to deal with Arita Haruyuki.

Mo Mo undoubtedly disliked Haruyuki Arita as well. They were from almost two different worlds, not in terms of status or wealth, but in terms of their will and spirit.

If Momo were Haruyuki Arita, he would probably have already put Araya in prison or in Tokyo Bay, even if Momo were just an ordinary person.

Momo and Haruyuki Arita really didn't have anything in common.

However, Mo Mo does not want to deny that Haruyuki Arita does have many admirable qualities; his behavior is full of kindness, trust, and loyalty.

Of course, we can also look at it from another angle, using different words, such as foolish, gullible, and sycophantic, but in general, Haruyuki Arita is not a bad person.

Mo Mo has a clear understanding of herself. She doesn't care about other people's opinions or worldly rules, and often even disregards the law. However, Mo Mo believes in one thing.

You need to have different methods and strategies depending on who you're dealing with. Mo Mo would never use schemes and tricks to scheme against an honest kid without a reason.

As for his current relationship with Haruyuki Arita—Mo Mo did not do anything to Haruyuki Arita. He only did something to his queen, Kuroyukihime, from head to toe, from the outside of her clothes to the inside, from virtual to reality... cough cough, reality is still a little short.

Haruyuki Arita simply ran headlong into Mo Mo before Mo Mo could do anything to him. He was scared away by his own actions and then kicked back by Takumi Dai.

Mo Mo didn't care about Haruyuki Arita's combat strength. To be precise, Mo Mo never cared about anyone's combat strength in the Accelerated World.

Even if there are seven level 9 kings, so what? A game is still just a game. As Kuroyukihime said, it's just a game for a bunch of kids and can't withstand the impact of reality and society.

The idea of ​​accelerating all the pain and laughter in a world that is accelerating remains a naive ideal for underage children and a part of their ongoing youth.

Everything eventually comes to an end, just like the other two versions of Accel World, AA2038 and CC2040, which have already ended.

Accel World must have its own significance. It is not a game, but it exists in the form of a game, making children use harsh methods to advance the game and try to uncover the truth behind it.

All of this will eventually come to an end, perhaps the moment the children graduate from school and enter society.

Therefore, Mo Mo originally didn't care about Haruyuki Arita. If Haruyuki Arita hadn't gotten involved, Mo Mo could have treated him like a stranger.

Now, Haruyuki Arita has not only gotten involved, but also seems intent on adding fuel to the fire.

This made Mo Mo smile with amusement; he had thought of something fun.

Dai Tuowu is definitely not someone we can let go of. Leaving aside the Dai Tuowu in the original work, the Dai Tuowu we have now is a transmigrator, and an arrogant and conceited young man with no real strength. In any world, this kind of guy would be instantly killed by the natives.

Therefore, Mo Mo would certainly not allow a dangerous transmigrator with such intentions to act freely. At the very least, he would deprive him of his acceleration and implement anti-unloading measures to eliminate the threat posed by this transmigrator.

As for Haruyuki Arita, since he wants to get involved, let him do it. It'll be a good opportunity for Mo Mo to test whether his ideas can actually be implemented.

After all, everyone has had their own strength, and Momo once had two ideals: to be a teacher and to run a ranch.

Perhaps in this world, he could experiment with running a ranch... cough cough, becoming a teacher?

How about becoming Haruyuki Arita's mentor?

Mo Mo pinched her chin, finding the idea strangely appealing, especially when Haruyuki Arita called Kuroyukihime "master's wife".

"Haruyuki Arita".

With that in mind, Mo Mo decided to confront Haruyuki Arita directly.

"Yes, I'm here. Please give your orders!"

As soon as Momo spoke, Haruyuki Arita immediately responded excitedly. Just as Momo had expected, his thoughts were not complicated.

He wouldn't help Dai Takumu beg for forgiveness or ask for a reduction in legal punishment, but as a brother and friend, he had to wake Dai Takumu up, make him realize his mistakes, and make him feel guilty!

This is what childhood sweethearts should do.

Looking at Haruyuki Arita's confident eyes, Mo Mo wanted to say, "Your courage is commendable, but can you beat Takumi Dai?"

Although Dai Takumu is just a chuunibyou transmigrated boy with arrogant ambitions, he is still a transmigrator who has achieved some success. He has earned hundreds of millions of yen in assets at a young age, and as the president of the kendo club, he has not neglected physical training.

The outcome of your fight is obvious, isn't it?

This is the real world, not an accelerated world.

However, Mo Mo wouldn't mock Haruyuki Arita's courage, who was unrelated to him. Instead, he said directly, "Do you know about Accel World?"

"Accel World?"

Haruyuki Arita answered slowly and deliberately, as if he was also thinking about each word carefully. What is Accelerated World? Is it something he has never heard of?

"Um... I'm sorry, I haven't heard of it..."

“It’s okay if you haven’t heard of it. But I won’t confirm what I’m about to say. You just need to trust me. I roughly know what your friend Dai Taku’s purpose is.”

Haruyuki Arita was taken aback, then overjoyed. Mo Mo's words meant that his request might be granted, regardless of what Mo Mo intended to say.

"The so-called Accelerated World..."

Momo told Haruyuki Arita everything about the Accelerated World, and Haruyuki Arita's expression changed from disbelief at the beginning to a hint of understanding at the end.

"...Therefore, your friend Daitaku actually came to challenge Xiaoxue to a real-world PK, intending to steal Xiaoxue's speed points."

Mo Mo naturally wouldn't tell Haruyuki Arita that Kuroyukihime was the Black King; he only gave Haruyuki a general idea, but the cause and effect relationship between them was already very clear.

Haruyuki Arita was utterly shocked and remained silent for a full minute before he could sort out the relationship. Putting aside the reality of the so-called Accelerated World that Momo mentioned, everything seemed to be clear.

At this moment, Haruyuki Arita thought of the amazing results that Kuroyukihime had achieved that day, and in an instant, everything became clear. It turned out that Kuroyukihime had used this so-called acceleration power to achieve such results.

At that moment, Haruyuki Arita thought of two things, and those two things gripped his heart in an instant.

The first thing was that his senior contacted him that day... Now that I think about it, could it be because of Accel World? Did his senior want him to enter Accel World?

Haruyuki Arita felt a bitter taste in her mouth as she looked at Momo in front of her. Had her senior changed her mind and chosen Momo-kun? It seemed Momo-kun had succeeded too. Her senior's choice was indeed correct; Momo-kun was so outstanding…

Haruyuki Arita had given up hope and let go of the matter of Kuroyukihime and Momo, so he was more focused on another possibility.

After all, Takuya was still his childhood friend, and Haruyuki Arita still wanted to save his brother.

But... what if his brother... is a conman who uses speed hacking?

All along, the seemingly excellent Takumi has been deceiving them, using speed to fake his excellence, confessing his feelings to Chiyuri, dating her, and excluding himself from the conversation...

What if all of this was obtained through fraudulent means?

Anger and surprise left Haruyuki Arita somewhat dazed. He quickly turned to Mo Mo and asked, "That... Takumi... no, that guy Dai Takumi..."

"Ah, I think I understand what you mean. To be honest, I don't think he's as good as his resume suggests, so even though there's no evidence yet, I think he's someone who cheats by using speed hacks."

Mo Mo's tone was calm, but it instantly shattered Arita Haruyuki's last defenses. It was one thing to be desperate with Kuroyukihime, but in just one day, he couldn't even trust his last brother anymore?

"What is this...?"

"What's this?!"

"Why, why has everything changed so much in just one day? I didn't do anything, why... why is even the last hope gone..."

Haruyuki Arita suddenly became agitated, and tears began to fall. He seemed about to explode from his emotional outburst, but instead, he slumped to the ground.

When emotions erupt beyond a certain limit, it ceases to be an eruption and instead explodes, burning away a person's entire mind.

Just like Haruyuki Arita now, he has completely fallen into the abyss of despair, and his whole being seems to have fallen into depravity, without the slightest bit of vitality.

This is probably what the living dead are like, right?

After all, Haruyuki Arita had very little warmth left in his life.

Looking at the despairing Haruyuki Arita, Mo Mo suddenly thought of herself at that time, and the little integrity she had left in her heart suddenly jumped out!

Well, let's just think of it as running a farm... cough cough, or being a teacher, a life mentor for once.

"Yui, help me make a deal with Haruyuki Arita, just ask him..."

Do you want to know the meaning of life?
