Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Once equipped, the two players share an inventory and items, and can also designate a residence as their joint property. All property within the residence is shared, and the couple can use everything at will.

Finally, these rings also have their own special function: they can locate the direction and position of another ring, and can also teleport to the other ring once a day when not in combat. Their effect is much stronger than the teleportation crystals that can only teleport to each level of town.

Asuna was a little afraid to look Momo in the eye, wishing she could just close her eyes and wait for Momo to take out what she was looking forward to. However, she did not see Momo make any move. When she looked up, Momo had a mischievous smile on his face.

Asuna was furious. At a time like this, did they really want to tease her and play tricks on her?

Momo is a good person in every way, except that he often likes to act silly and unserious, deliberately provoking other people's emotions, something Asuna has already experienced firsthand.

Instead of taking any action, Asuna has already developed a set of deadly techniques.

Argo's Secret Technique: Toe-to-Knee Thrust!

Instantly boosts your charm by 100%, making any disobedient man kneel before you. It works every time, and it's especially effective on Momo!

"I'm outta here!"

However, Momo was quite resourceful this time, using an elegant S-shaped drift and swordsmanship to escape.

"Mo Mo! You bastard Mo Mo, how dare you hide!"

Momo shrugged and said, "Why don't you dare to dodge? I was wondering the same thing. When did my gentle and considerate Asuna become such a strong-willed person? Is it a side effect of being the guild leader?"

Momo's seemingly joking words made Asuna stop in her tracks, ceasing her pursuit. Instead, she asked hesitantly, "You don't... hate me for this, do you?"

"Actually, I didn't mean to... I was just looking at Argo... oh right, I subconsciously copied Argo, haha..."

Asuna wanted to defend herself, saying that it concerned her boyfriend's favorability, and it was time to betray her best friend!

Momo blinked, a strange look on his face, and said, "Asuna, it's best not to speak ill of Argo at this time. Maybe our Miss Mouse is hiding somewhere, spying on us."

Asuna's smile froze. She seemed to remember something and immediately used her maxed-out target acquisition skill.

However, Argo appeared on his own without her having to investigate.

Yes, it popped up.

A hooded head with a mustache emerged from the bushes in front of the villa, looking at Asuna with a mocking gaze.

"Ugh--"

With an exaggerated, drawn-out tone, Argo narrowed his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips, and said, "So that's how Asuna sees me..."

"Ah, how heartbreaking! It turns out that my friend Asuna not only saw me as a barbaric woman, but also betrayed me without hesitation at a crucial moment!"

"My heavenly father and mother, your daughter Argo has made a mistake in choosing friends. This must be a test for me!"

Asuna quickly went up to Argo, put her hands together, and whispered in his ear, "Sorry, Argo, please don't embarrass me at this time! I'll treat you to pudding later, I apologize!"

"Pudding and mousse cake, double the order!"

"make a deal!"

Argo, who had been looking heartbroken, instantly changed his expression, casually hugged Asuna's waist, and said, "Hmph, that's right, you womanizing playboy Momo, Asuna learned it from me, I forced her to learn it from me!"

"I absolutely cannot tolerate a pure and kind girl being completely deceived by you. For the sake of my unwavering friendship with Asuna, I must protect Asuna's rights and fight you to the end."

Mo Mo suddenly reached out and said, "Objection! Pudding, mousse cake, and strawberry ice cream, a week's worth."

"Ah, Asuna!"

Just a second ago, Argo was tightly embracing Asuna, looking like they were sworn enemies. In an instant, he jumped far away from Asuna and said in a sad tone, "Alas, Asuna, has our friendship really come to an end..."

"Argo!"

Asuna was on the verge of tears. Who were these two people?!

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing your girlfriend, Momo. What surprise have you prepared for Asuna? Aren't you going to reveal it yet?"

Hearing Argo bring it up again, Asuna became nervous again and subconsciously moved closer to Argo, not daring to look at Momo.

However, Argo ruthlessly pushed Asuna away amidst her tearful gaze, saying, "Don't come any closer, Asuna. Stay away from me, or I'll snatch the things from you when they get in front of us!"

Asuna looked at Argo with eyes of abandonment, but Argo gave her no chance, saying, "Come on, I, Argo, will be a witness!"

However, before Mo Mo could act, a large group of people had already crossed the hill and appeared, attracting the attention of Mo Mo and his companions.

The people at the front were immediately recognizable as Kirito and his group.

To be precise, there are Kirito, Lisbeth, Silica, Agil, Klein, and another woman named Sachi.

"Oh my, you're already here! That's fast, but that's perfect, it's more lively with more people."

Asuna looked curiously at the large number of people who had arrived, then glanced at Momo. Momo shook his head slightly and said, "I only asked Argo to help me find this house and figure out how it was sold. I didn't ask her to notify anyone else."

"Hmph, young man, if you can give Asuna a surprise, why can't we, as your friends, give you one too?"

Argo crossed his arms and continued, "Well, we can probably all see what Momo is up to, but only I, the information broker Argo, know about Momo's predicament. This time, Momo, you'd better remember this favor!"

Soon, several people arrived, and they looked at the house with expressions of amazement.

"Wow, that's amazing! No wonder you're Mo Mo. If it weren't for you, I doubt anyone would even consider buying this house. How expensive is it? 20?"

Klein looked amazed and exclaimed repeatedly.

"20 can only buy 4% of the property, making the total price 50, and there are no discounts or reductions. This house is not related to any mission; it's a pure view property, so if you want to buy it, you have to honestly pay the full 50!"

Argo's words shocked Klein, who exclaimed, "50...50! My God, even if you asked me to lend you money, I only have 2 Cole in savings. Even if I took it all out, it wouldn't be enough!"

"Borrow money?" Asuna's questioning tone made Argo turn around. She explained, "Well, I guessed that Momo didn't have enough money, so I contacted the others. Everyone has tens of thousands in savings, especially Agil, who is planning to open a shop, right? You must have more savings."

"Let's lend the money to Momo temporarily so that he can buy it first. That way, Asuna won't be distracted all the time."

"Ugh?"

Asuna blushed and whispered, "Um, is it that obvious?"

“Actually, even I can tell that Asuna is suspicious.” Silica’s confident words made Asuna cover her face completely. She hadn’t expected that her friends had already seen through her thoughts.

059 Incidentally, Asuna was NTR'd.

Incidentally, Silica now has a pet, making her the only pet user in the entire Sword Art Online series, and it's still the same pet from the original work.

This was a mission that Momo suggested, Argo gathered intelligence, and the two of them worked together to help Silica complete.

As a result, although Silica still cannot join the Boss raiding group, she has become a sought-after character in the Rose Garden leveling team thanks to her pet's healing ability.

Unfortunately, Silica's pet Pina is the real person, while Silica herself is just a pet being hugged and cuddled by the older women.

Although Silica was somewhat unhappy that her importance and that of her pet had been switched, she genuinely loved the pet and was very grateful to Momo and Argo, and had already started calling everyone "brother" and "sister".

Everyone cherishes her because of her young age, so her words are no longer surprising.

"Um, Brother Momo, I have 4 Cole here. It was all left to me by everyone. I don't really need it, so I've given it all to you. You don't have to return it to me, Brother Momo!"

"4...4w?"

Klein grinned, slumped to his knees, looked up at the crowd, and said, "Um, surely I don't have the least money among all of you! Surely not!"

"Who told you to keep changing weapons? Changing weapons once a stage is enough, but you insisted on collecting Japanese swords. Also, get rid of your daily drinking problem. You can't even get drunk, yet you drink dozens or hundreds of kol a day. How much do you think you've wasted in these four months?"

As an adult himself, Akiel was naturally entitled to criticize Klein, and then he presented Klein with a sum of money that left Klein in despair.

"6 Cole, I'll lend it to you for a maximum of one month. You'll have to pay me back 7 after that, which will be interest."

While Agil's demand for interest may seem like a mercenary act, the current situation is one of rapid increase in player levels and SAO resources, causing Cole to depreciate continuously. If a daily quest that can earn Cole appears this month, 10 Cole might only be equivalent to 7 or 8 Cole now.

"I also have 5 here. Well, I won't charge you interest. Anyway, most of it was earned from you, a big spender. I'll give it to you for now."

Argo's words plunged Klein into utter despair. It seemed everyone was richer than him. He looked at the last two people with a hopeless gaze: Kirito was lucky.

"Well, I don't have much money. Since Klein has put out 20,000, I'll put out 20,000 too. I just had Lisbeth upgrade my equipment yesterday."

"Hey, Kirito, don't get me into this! I only have 20,000 yen, not that I can come up with 20,000 yen. If I come up with 20,000 yen, I'll be eating black bread from today onwards!"

"Don't worry, you sleazy old man don't need to take the money. Momo, I still have 50,000 here, and I need the rest for working capital. If it's really not enough, I can spare you another 20,000." This was Lisbeth.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Sachi, who had been standing discreetly behind Kirito, said, "Well, I can only offer 1 Cole."

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm finally not the poorest anymore!"

"Snapped!"

Agil gave Klein a flick on the forehead and said, "Have some backbone, you're an adult!"

Momo smiled at everyone and said, "Alright, although I'm short of money, I'm not that desperate. How about this, I'll take Agil's money, and pay him back 10 in a month."

“I’ll take Argo’s money too, and I won’t give you any interest. I’ll also take Lisbeth’s money, but I’ll make it up to you after today.”

“Finally, it’s Silica,” Momo said, stroking Silica’s head and looking at her expectantly. “I’ll lend you 3. Keep the remaining 1 to buy food for your little one. I’ll pay you back later. Even if you wanted to lend me all of it, your little one wouldn’t agree.”

Bina seemed to understand Momo's words, and tugged at Silica's hair, seemingly refusing to let Silica hand over all the money.

"Alright, Pina, stop fooling around. How could I let you go hungry? ...Okay, brother, here's 3 Cole. You can pay me back anytime you want."

Finally, Momo looked at Kirito and said, "That way, the money is enough, and I've also set aside some working capital. As for your money, Kirito..."

Mo Mo glanced at Xing with a playful look, and Xing subconsciously lowered her head and took Kirito's hand.

"You should keep it yourself; I feel like you'll need it soon."

"Alas!"

Klein exclaimed in surprise, staring at the two's clasped hands, and suddenly realized, "Kirito, no wonder you've been hanging out with that Night Moon Black Cat Gang lately, it was all because of Sachi! Damn it, as your brother, you didn't even tell me!"

"Why would I tell you? So you can spread your big mouth all over the world!"

"Ah, I'm so heartbroken. Is this how you see me, Kirito?!"

Argo looked at the two holding hands and said with some envy, "Well, even without Klein's big mouth, it was bound to be revealed sooner or later, wasn't it? What's wrong, Kirito? Have you changed your ways? You actually dare to hold hands in front of everyone?"

Kirito scratched his cheek and said, "Well... actually, I got excited after hearing you talk about Mo Mo yesterday..."

"Hmm, I understand. You got excited and acted impulsively like a young man, tasting the forbidden fruit? Well done, young man! Asuna, you have to keep it up! Kirito, that little brat, is already ahead of you!"

"No, that's not it! I just got excited and confessed..."

Compared to Kirito's awkwardness, Sachi's face flushed slightly, and she calmed down considerably, saying, "Actually, I asked Kirito to bring me here today because I wanted to thank Momo-kun. It was Momo-kun who got the Night Moon Black Cat Gang to join the Watcher Knights and also let me join the Rose Garden."

"I asked everyone yesterday, and everyone is doing well. We are all traveling together as a group, and there is no longer any possibility of encountering deadly traps. We are safe and sound."

As she said this, Sachi trembled slightly, and Kirito calmed down and gripped Sachi's hand tightly.

Some time ago, just like in the original story, Kirito encountered the Yotsuki Black Cat Gang. However, this time he did not join them, but simply traveled with the gang for a while as a vacation.

However, as if by fate, the Night Moon Black Cat Gang fell into that fatal trap. But this time, the difference was that Kirito had several bottles of potions specially made by Momo, and even a super red bottle that could cure all status conditions—this was a divine artifact that Momo made using two days' worth of trading power. Each of his friends only had one bottle for the time being.
