Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Argo waved and shouted, then turned around.

"Well, fine, I'll let you off this time. I won't tell Asuna that you're a playboy now... But, hehe, both of them owe me favors, and Momo seems to be quite wealthy... Ugh, how should I extort him..."

Argo left, knowing that neither of them would pay any attention to her anyway. How could the great Argo possibly be a third wheel in such an awkward situation?

Asuna turned around.

A person stood not far away, with a familiar smile on their face.

The moonlight behind him obscured his features, but even without seeing his face, his image was already imprinted in Asuna's heart.

"Looking for me?"

"Mo Mo..."

Asuna smiled, her heart filled with countless emotions: guilt that made her want to apologize, worry that made her want to ask questions, fear that made her want to get angry... All these emotions intertwined, yet she could only murmur Momo's name.

"I'm here, I've always been here."

Countless emotions welled up inside Asuna, turning into tears that streamed down her face. She didn't know what to say.

So she chose to take action.

Asuna threw herself into Momo's arms, knocking him to the ground, her arms tightly wrapped around his neck, tears streaming down her face.

However, Momo did not comfort Asuna, because he could sense that Asuna was more happy than sad at the moment.

As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Since you're happy, Momo doesn't need to do anything.

"I always feel..."

Reimu Hakurei floated in the air, her eyes narrowed into slits, a mocking smile on her lips, and said, "This scene seems familiar!"

"You're definitely mistaken."

"Tch, shameless. Are you going to do something similar later?"

"Hey, Reimu, are you interested? I can be your guinea pig!"

"Pooh!"

Unable to bear Momo's shamelessness, Reimu Hakurei flew high into the sky and stared blankly at the moonlight. Even though it was a virtual moon, Reimu had to admit that the moonlight was beautiful, even more beautiful than the moonlight in Gensokyo.

"But thinking about it carefully, the moon in Gensokyo doesn't seem to be real either? The Lunar Capital doesn't look pretty at all!"

Even after flying high into the sky, Reimu Hakurei could still hear Asuna's sobbing, which actually calmed the somewhat agitated Reimu down.

"Truth and falsehood, which are real and which are fake..."

Momo couldn't hear Reimu Hakurei's murmurs unless she wanted to. However, she didn't know that Momo, lying on the ground, looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, because Momo believed he understood Reimu Hakurei.

But what does it really mean to hold one girl in your arms and look at another girl with affectionate eyes?

Momo's answer to this was simple.

This is love!

"Stop crying?"

Asuna's crying didn't last long, much shorter than Argo's. After all, Argo was probably genuinely heartbroken, while Asuna had already been "trained"... cough cough, "reformed" by Argo before meeting Momo.

Before meeting Argo, Asuna was just an innocent and clueless girl; the game was purely a death trap for her. But now, Asuna is able to unleash sword skills, having personally (and perhaps even killed) a rare boss—enough to change her.

Asuna has realized that in this deadly game, she is not a helpless lamb waiting to be slaughtered, but a warrior who can fight with a rapier, fight alongside Momo, and fight against the warriors of this deadly game.

This was merely a shift in consciousness, yet it was enough to allow Asuna to stand up again and become the reason for her to muster her courage.

"Um……"

Asuna lay on Momo's chest, pressing her face against it, responding with a soft, muffled groan.

Asuna didn't intend to say much, because she was no longer afraid or sad, so shyness took over her mind, and a blush spread across her cheeks, leaving her unsure of what to do next.

After all, Mo Mo is no ordinary person!

Although Momo didn't say it outright, Asuna had already realized the nature of her relationship with him. With her parents' influence, Asuna found it difficult to treat Momo as just a friend, and most importantly, Asuna herself didn't dislike Momo.

Even after learning about the possible future relationship between the two of them, she still didn't feel any dislike.

Even though Asuna didn't know how she really viewed Momo before, as a girl with high emotional intelligence, she had already realized what her attitude meant.

Not to mention, there were some subsequent interactions between the two.

In her own room, Mo Mo hugged her, and she didn't resist...

In the game, she took the initiative to hug Momo, seeking comfort...

In the hotel, she unconsciously held onto Momo and spent the night with him, completely trusting him...

Most importantly, not long ago, for Mo Mo, she almost lost her mind, disregarded life and death, and wished she could sacrifice everything to be by Mo Mo's side. When she saw Mo Mo with her own eyes, her emotions exploded, sweeping away all her reason.

If Asuna still doesn't understand, she really is an emotional idiot.

Another crucial point is that Momo has never hidden his feelings for her, which makes it impossible for Asuna to pretend she can't see it anymore.

Now, Asuna, her face flushed, grabbed Momo's collar and buried her face in Momo's chest, not daring to lift it up at all.

How could I let Mo Mo see this? If he did, he would immediately reveal my intentions!

The girl did her best to preserve her last bit of dignity, but she knew in her heart that this was just ostrich hiding its head and deceiving herself.

Her actions were already quite clear; there was no need for any further action to prove it.

"Are you really not getting up?"

Asuna shook her head frantically, saying, "I won't get up, I absolutely won't get up!"

"It's almost dawn. Players might start leveling up soon!"

"Don't lie to me, I've already learned operating systems, there's still plenty of time!"

"So we're just going to lie here forever?"

"Keep lying down!"

"Stop fooling around!"

"I'm not making a scene!"

"So……"

Momo gave up resisting and lay sprawled on the grass, letting the wind blow through their hair. He reached out and wrapped his arms around Asuna's waist. Asuna stiffened, but still didn't move.

"Stay with me and rest for a while."

After saying that, Mo Mo actually closed her eyes. However, this was not a safe zone, and it was impossible to fall asleep here. Rather than falling asleep, it should be said that she closed her eyes to rest.

Asuna's blush faded considerably, and she smiled, shifting to a side-lying position.

Her gaze also fell upon the distant grass swaying in the wind. The swaying grass resembled a heartbeat, gradually bringing rhythm to Asuna's wildly beating heart.

Then, she saw a pair of eyes.

Blood-red eyes.

LV1, Wild Boar, Common Monster.

The wild boar's scarlet eyes seemed to burn with raging fury. It lowered its head, raised its snout, and kicked up a patch of grass with its front hooves. The grass blades danced in the wind, writing the wild boar's determination.

At this moment, it is not a pig fighting; at this moment, it is possessed by countless great powers from other dimensions.

"Hum-"

The wild boar charged at the lovey-dovey couple.

"Shh-"

"Om-"

Two figures flashed past the wild boar, which was possessed by a spirit and instantly exploded, resulting in a double kill and providing experience points for Momo and Asuna.

The two stood with their swords drawn, and at that moment, it was impossible for Asuna to hide her face.

Momo smiled and fixed his gaze on Asuna. Asuna instinctively wanted to avoid Momo's gaze, but for some reason, she couldn't bear to part with the warm look that made her heart flutter. She could only whisper, "What are you looking at... Aren't I the same as in reality now..."

"Of course it's up to you, Asuna."

Momo's unvarnished words instantly shattered Asuna's last line of defense. She felt somewhat helpless, but could only face Momo directly and receive his straight-line attack.

"Am I... really that worth your attention, worth you doing so much for me...? I can hardly believe it, it's unbelievable...it feels like a dream."

042 Love should be spoken out loud

Mo Mo smiled, his eyes reflecting only Asuna's figure.

Asuna looked at Momo, and at herself reflected in his eyes. She could feel that the boy in front of her had only her in his eyes and heart at that moment.

Only her, Yuuki Asuna.

In an instant, Asuna knew it was time to make some choices.

She chose to face it, to face Momo.

However, after making her choice, all the unease and tension she had felt earlier vanished, because she believed that no matter how she behaved, Mo Mo would not mind her in the slightest. In Mo Mo's heart, she was the most beautiful girl.

Don't worry about improper etiquette, impolite speech, poor posture, or ungraceful movements. There's nothing to worry about. The only thing you need to do is open your heart, accept Momo, and accept your true self.

"It really feels like a dream. You came out of nowhere and barged into my life, but I didn't feel any aversion at all. In fact, it seems like I got used to your presence in an instant."

"Compared to your perfection, Momo, I really don't think I'm anything special. There are definitely many girls who are prettier than me, more outstanding than me, and more suitable for you than me, but you seem to have decided on me from the very beginning... Am I really worth you doing this?"

Asuna spoke, she seemed a little uneasy, her hands twisting together. However, Momo didn't give her a chance to feel uneasy, as he had already taken Asuna's hands and easily separated them.

"Of course it's worth it."

Momo moved closer to Asuna, touching her forehead, and said, "Because, there are many beautiful and outstanding girls in the world, but Yuuki Asuna only has you."

Momo used the simplest declarative sentences to state a fact that he himself believed in, yet it was enough to dispel all of Asuna's unease.

"The only one I've ever considered is you, Asuna."

Looking at Momo so close to her, and seeing the unwavering look in Momo's eyes, Asuna smiled.

Asuna suddenly realized one thing: all her worries, all her fears, all her inferiority complex, none of it was worth her time and effort.

All you need to do is leave everything to Momo.
