Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

As long as you trust Momo, that's enough.

Without flinching or shifting her gaze, Asuna looked directly at Momo before her and slowly closed her eyes, awaiting the moment that was about to arrive.

This wait lasted for a minute.

He didn't come!

Asuna jumped up in alarm. What had happened?!

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she finally couldn't help but open her eyes, stealing a glance at Mo Mo, and then saw a playful smile on Mo Mo's lips.

A surge of anger welled up inside him. What was Mo Mo doing? Was he still joking at a time like this?

She puffed out her cheeks, wanting to deliver a heavy blow to Mo Mo, but Mo Mo grabbed her hand tightly, preventing her from moving an inch.

"You bastard..."

Asuna felt a surge of anger. Was Momo really just toying with her?

"Asuna, don't rush, there's still one step missing."

Asuna was taken aback. Steps? What steps?

Momo leaned close to Asuna's ear and whispered, "I love you, Asuna."

Love is not the same as liking.

In a dimension unknown to Asuna, Momo has longed for her beloved character for nearly a century. This is an emotion that has stood the test of time; it is love, not just liking.

A captivating fragrance welled up from the depths of Asuna's heart. She had lost all strength and collapsed into Momo's arms. The only thing she could do was raise her head and look at Momo with intoxicated eyes.

"Kiss me, Momo, please..."

Their lips met, and only their shadows remained intertwined in the moonlight, unmoved by the wind.

The sweet atmosphere seemed even warmer against the cool backdrop, causing Reimu Hakurei above their heads to sigh.

"This feeling is awful. Why can't I be more than 10 meters away from Momo...?"

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally calmed down a little. Asuna leaned on Momo's shoulder, trying to stand on her own, but her body showed no sign of regaining its strength.

"It's all your fault!"

Asuna punched Momo in the chest, looked up at him with shy eyes, but when she saw the longing in his eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "No, if I... I really can't stand up anymore!"

"Anything else?"

"You're pushing your luck!"

Asuna's legs were weak, but she still managed to grab Momo's ear and say, "I will fight back too."

"Too bad, you can't beat me!"

Asuna was about to retort when she cried out in surprise as Mo Mo swept her up in his arms, saying, "What are you doing?!"

"Of course I'll hug you!"

"But...but!"

"Alright, don't worry, I'll put you down once you've regained your strength. It's really getting late, we should go back to the hotel to rest."

Asuna seemed to have thought of something, and she shrank back, a fleeting look of hesitation on her face before turning into seriousness and determination. Her face flushed as she pointed to something in front of her eyes, seemingly unsure what she was pointing to.

When the two returned to the starting street, it was already 3 a.m. Even the most timid player couldn't resist the fatigue and fell into a deep sleep.

Asuna had jumped off Momo before even entering the gate, but as compensation, she took Momo's hand, as if afraid that Momo would misunderstand her actions.

However, after the two saw these players, Asuna's mood became slightly heavy.

"Mo Mo, are we still able to get out of here? Are we able to survive?"

"Don't worry, it definitely will. I can assure you that."

Asuna looked at the players on the roadside. She didn't make any unreasonable demands on Momo. Although she also wanted to help these players, she wouldn't let Momo do something like directly giving alms to them.

On the one hand, this would put Momo in a difficult position, and on the other hand, it wouldn't be of any use. Although Asuna is kind-hearted, her upbringing in an elite family has made her far more mature than children her age; all she lacks is experience.

Asuna vaguely sensed that if Momo truly gifted Cole to all players, he wouldn't receive praise and trust, but rather vicious curses and taunts. Humans, once their worst instincts are unleashed, are no different from animals.

Especially in the current situation, if this deadly game really cannot be rescued from the outside, what will happen if 10,000 people are together?

Asuna felt a little uneasy, but Momo seemed to know her thoughts and increased the pressure in his hands.

"It's okay, I'll take care of everything."

"Ah."

The two entered the hotel. Asuna seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Momo! You didn't even tell me that you spent so much Cole these past two days. No, we can't waste it like that. You can't squander the Cole you worked so hard to earn!"

After saying that, Asuna went to the innkeeper and began to operate the control panel.

"There's no need to be frugal, Asuna. I'll tell you in detail about my daily income tomorrow. We can afford these expenses for now."

"That won't do either. Every little bit helps. From now on, you'll have to listen to me when it comes to spending!"

"Okay, okay, but at least choose a mid-range room. I can't stand a wooden bed; I need to get a good rest."

Asuna flinched, hastily changing her actions, and said, "Ah, okay... I'll take care of it."

After making her choice, Asuna lowered her head and pulled Momo into the private room instance.

Momo found Asuna's behavior somewhat strange, but he understood after they entered the hotel room.

The room was still a mid-range room, probably changed by Asuna after hearing Momo's words. The only difference was that Momo had booked an entire floor, while Asuna had booked...

There is only one room.

double room.

"...How...how is it..."

Mo Mo tilted her head, a knowing smile appearing on her lips, and said, "That's right, a double room is indeed a good way to save money. The same price as a single room, the same service, and you even get a human body pillow, it's perfect!"

"Um……"

Momo made a vivid joke, while Asuna lowered her head and responded in a low voice.

"Alright, Asuna, is there anything you'd like to say?"

"...Shouldn't I be the one to speak up?"

"Because I really don't understand! Oh right, I get it, it's to save money by making me sleep on the floor, okay, no problem..."

Momo shut up as Asuna's gentle lips sealed his mouth. Since Momo was teasing her by beating around the bush, Asuna decided it was better to take the initiative.

Anyway, she's already made up her mind.

“I…I checked the system and learned about ethical restrictions…and then I found out that it’s also possible here…So, Momo…I’ve lifted the ethical restrictions…”

Asuna's voice grew softer and softer, but her face grew redder and redder, down to her ears.

In reality, Asuna's heart rate would probably be over 100 beats per minute, and she would be drenched in sweat, attracting the attention of the Yagyu family's medical staff.

Do they think Asuna encountered some danger in the game?

Wow, I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it!

"So...so...Mo Mo...so..."

Asuna seemed to stutter, unable to continue speaking. At that moment, Momo once again scooped Asuna up in his arms and carried her towards the bed.

Asuna turned her face away, not daring to look at Momo. However, when Momo put Asuna on the bed, the initial equipment Asuna was wearing had disappeared.

The bright moonlight shone on Asuna's skin, making her appear even more beautiful.

Asuna closed her eyes and stretched out her arms toward Momo, wanting to accept his embrace.

Momo naturally wouldn't refuse. He reached out and took Asuna's hands in his, interlocking their fingers, and then kissed Asuna again.

Asuna trembled, but quickly calmed down, as if she was no longer nervous and had begun to enjoy the intimacy with Momo.

After a long silence, their lips parted, and Asuna, her eyes brimming with tears, said, "Momo... I do..."

043 New Teammate

"Should I excuse myself for a moment?"

Reimu Hakurei floated above the two of them, and the current situation made her completely lose her patience.

Although she knew Momo's personality long ago and guessed that this kind of thing would happen sooner or later, Reimu Hakurei did not expect that she would be in such an awkward situation.

Yes, it was awkward.

Because of her special relationship with Momo, she couldn't stay too far away from him; generally, the maximum distance was ten meters. Fortunately, she could ignore most obstacles and wouldn't be detected by humans, so this distance didn't matter.

However, the problem is that this room is currently a private room instance, and Reimu Hakurei cannot leave at all, so she can only stay in this room.

Was she really just sitting there listening and watching?

When she first met Momo, Reimu Hakurei had foreseen this situation, but she did not foresee the change in Momo's attitude towards her.

Or rather, did Momo change her?

"Don't worry, at least here, I won't be so hasty."

Momo answered Reimu's question, but instead of following the lead of the deeply moved Asuna, he helped her tidy her bedding. However, this action caused Asuna's expression to change drastically.

Asuna's blush faded, turning her face deathly pale. She grabbed Momo's hand abruptly, like a lamb fearing abandonment.

"Mo Mo... what's wrong?"

Asuna tried to keep her tone calm, but her expression betrayed her true feelings. Her efforts hadn't been reciprocated by Momo; had Momo changed his mind?

The sudden shift from heaven to hell nearly caused Asuna to have an emotional breakdown.

Momo needed to comfort Asuna, so he took the initiative and kissed her.

Asuna's eyes widened, seemingly surprised, but she quickly became absorbed in the moment. After a long while, their lips parted, and Asuna's face regained its rosy hue; at least she was certain that Momo hadn't abandoned her.

"Asuna, I've told you before, I love you."

Asuna was a little shy, but this time she chose to face Momo directly and whispered, "Yes, I believe you."

"So, Asuna, please wait a little while. When the time comes, I will give you a grand ceremony with my actions, choosing a suitable place instead of this cheap hotel."

Asuna finally understood Momo's actions. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she smiled, "Well, I don't mind... Besides, we're in this game now, and we don't know what the future holds..."
