Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Hearing Aleister deny his words, Momo didn't mind at all, and said, "But you still stood here and accepted my invitation, didn't you? Aleister, that's what's so annoying about you, can't you be a little more straightforward?"

"It's really disgusting that a grown man like you, a big boss, is still so arrogant."

Faced with Momo's ridicule, Aleister smiled and remained silent. He had already made his stance clear; now it was up to Momo to impress him.

Momo understood that Aleister was willing to pay a price, and he wouldn't speak easily because he knew secrets Momo didn't. Momo had lost his memory and was completely unaware of the current situation, so he naturally couldn't easily offer any suitable bargaining chips.

“How about this,” Momo said, as if he had thought of something, “let’s make a small deal first.”

"Appreciate further details."

"As you probably know, I have amnesia now. My memories have been sealed by an unknown force, and I have a way to get them back. However, I am not aware of the dangers of this method, and I need you to protect me and another person."

Aleister narrowed his eyes and said, "Imagine Breaker, huh? Indeed, that's a powerful force, worth trying. But what terms do you have to pay for this job? Hiring me is very expensive."

"How about we use a secret? I'll tell you the secret of the world I came from, a world you can't even imagine."

Aleister considered for a moment and said, "Deal."

After saying that, the two disappeared from the hotel and went to a simple, even shabby, student apartment.

The lights were on in the apartment, indicating that someone was home, and soon a scream came from the kitchen.

"Aaaaaah, Mr. Kamijou's last reserves of food for tonight! Ramen-kun, what's wrong with you, Ramen-kun? Why did you throw yourself on the ground and commit suicide?!"

"Unfortunate!"

After screaming and howling, Touma Kamijou, looking utterly hopeless, held a half-bowl of ramen soup and, while crying, licked the rim of the bowl as if savoring a delicacy. The sight and smell of it were enough to make anyone who saw it weep.

Today, Touma Kamijou, who has been having a run of bad luck ever since meeting Momo, suddenly looked up and saw Momo in her pajamas and another long-haired freak in a green hospital gown. Overwhelmed with shock, he threw away the last of his leftover food.

"Clap!"

The last bit of ramen broth was also sacrificed.

"Unfortunate!"

081 I'm back, Yui

"So, how did you two suddenly appear in my house? Mr. Kamijou's door was locked securely. Did you two just appear out of thin air?"

The three of them were already seated. Although poor Touma Kamijou was still hungry, he still made tea for Momo and Aleister. However, neither Momo nor Aleister wanted to touch the cheap tea.

However, Aleister is probably in a special situation and won't be able to eat or drink anything, since he'll be going back to his glass coffin to hang himself—no, hang upside down.

However, in Kamijou Touma's eyes, the two people's actions were a complete act of contempt. Poor Kamijou Touma looked at the two people in front of him with a sad expression, and a deep generation gap had appeared in Kamijou Touma's heart.

"Say something to me! If there's nothing else, then get out of Mr. Kamijou's house right now! Mr. Kamijou has to go hungry all night and has to get up early to study tomorrow. I'm a good boy!"

Despite saying that, Touma Kamijou still curiously observed the two people, especially Aleister next to Momo, the guy with a Western face wearing a green hospital gown...

They must be Momo's fellow mental patient!

Momo, that guy, not only escaped from the mental hospital himself, but also brought his friends out with him! Will Academy City descend into chaos if this continues?

Of course, this was just a thought that Touma Kamijou was internally complaining about.

"Actually, I came here this time because I want you to do me a favor."

Mo Mo ignored all of Kamijou Touma's complaints and began to tell him her story. After a slight surprise, Kamijou Touma listened quietly.

"That is to say..."

Touma Kamijou frowned and said, "Someone has implanted a strange mental ability in you, making you forget your past memories. You want me to try and see if I can undo it?"

Mo Mo nodded and said, "I didn't know you existed before, but now that I know about the ability of your right hand, I naturally want to try it out. What do you think?"

"However, let me make it clear beforehand that this could be dangerous, which is why I called this guy here. His abilities should be able to protect our safety."

"The danger is..."

Kamijou Touma looked at his right hand and asked Momo, who shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics either, because no one has been able to break this ability yet."

Hearing this, Touma Kamijou scratched his head and said, "I don't mind, but you saw what happened before, right? I get hurt if I touch you, so are you sure it's okay?"

"What's a little injury compared to regaining my memories? Don't worry, I'm a powerful ability user, I won't die so easily."

Touma Kamijou did not refuse Momo, but rather agreed to Momo's request as a matter of course. After all, as a good person, Touma Kamijou had no reason to refuse Momo's harmless request.

As for the consequences of releasing Momo's memories... Touma Kamijou didn't think much about it. Could it be that this would cure Momo's illness?

No, no, no, Momo's illness is clearly from the bone marrow; there's no cure.

The three left Touma Kamijou's apartment and came to an open space. Aleister kept his distance, while Momo stood face to face with Touma Kamijou.

"Tell me, what should I do? You're not going to just let me touch you like this, are you?"

Mo Mo shook his head slightly and said, "Touma Kamijou, how about we make a deal? If you help me regain my memories, I'll cover your meals for a year, how about that?"

"grip!"

Touma Kamijou's eyes widened immediately. "This...is this real? Mr. Kamijou, you actually encountered such a good thing!"

"Of course it's true!"

“However,” Touma Kamijou looked at Mo Mo suspiciously, “do you have money?”

"My sister has one!"

"That's utterly shameless! Once your memory returns, you'll have to tell me what exactly happened tonight, and why you suddenly changed people!"

Kamijou Touma clearly took Mo Mo's words as a joke, saying, "I won't ask too much of you. If I succeed, you can treat me to a good meal. You can eat whatever you want, since you don't look like a rich person anyway."

Mo Mo shrugged and said, "No wonder you've always been so poor. It's not just that you don't have money, you also have no eye for people. Don't worry, money is something I can easily get if I want to."

"Ha, I don't know who told me before that he ran away because he owed 400 million in medical bills... Huh!"

Amidst their friendly banter, Momo activated her trading ability and made a deal with Touma Kamijou, who naturally also experienced the existence of the trading ability.

The condition of the deal is that Touma Kamijou will help Momo regain her memories, and regardless of the success, Momo will treat Touma Kamijou to a meal.

Having confirmed the conditions, Touma Kamijou nodded. Although he was still full of doubt and curious about what kind of power this was, Touma Kamijou wasn't the type to get to the bottom of things. He didn't know what he didn't know, and as a slacker, there were plenty of things he didn't know anyway.

As the two reached an agreement, the SOS Brigade runes once again appeared on Momo's chest, indicating that the SOS Brigade had detected the operation of the transaction authority and was starting to activate it. However, it was powerless against the authority of the gods.

"Touma Kamijou, grab it with your right hand."

Kamijou Touma was taken aback. He looked at the strange rune on Momo's chest and immediately moved, reaching out his right hand to grab the rune.

This is not only Touma Kamijou's own will, but also driven by the power of the transaction, pushing Touma Kamijou to destroy the SOS Brigade's mark.

At this moment, the SOS Brigade's mark seemed to sense the danger and was about to burrow into Momo's body. Just then, Momo initiated another deal, this time targeting Aleister in the distance.

Aleister's expression was odd, but he still agreed to the harmless deal. The terms of the deal were that he would give a bright smile for ten seconds, and Momo would return the favor with a bright smile for ten seconds, while Momo would decide when to initiate the deal.

Aleister had already figured out the purpose of this deal: to delay the time it took for the peculiar SOS rune to hide inside Momo's body.

As expected, after the transaction was initiated again, the activation process of the SOS rune hidden in Momo's body stopped at Momo's chest, and at this moment, Kamijou Touma's large hand finally grabbed him.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Mo Mo's chest!

The illusory SOS symbol was caught in Touma Kamijou's hand and then disappeared with a "snap".

Time seemed to stand still.

Having done all this, Touma Kamijou immediately jumped back, adopting a posture as if facing a formidable enemy. Aleister, in the distance, also frowned, preparing to make his move.

Only Mo Mo stood still, motionless.

The grand spectacle we had envisioned did not occur, and all the preparations were unnecessary; it seemed as if everything had ended smoothly in an instant.

"This is……"

Kamijou Touma stared blankly at his right hand, as if he hadn't done anything!

Is it already over?

"I see. Although the level of power is very high, it has reached its limit and there is no way to replenish the energy."

Aleister watched all this from a distance, pondering, "Was it this guy named Momo who unintentionally eroding the seal, or did the person who released the seal encounter some problem and become unable to maintain its strength?"

"However, in any case, Momo's memory should have been restored. Let me see what kind of person he is."

Aleister was right. Momo's memory loss was restored. The moment the SOS rune mark shattered, the last door in Momo's mind opened, and the treasured memories behind the door surged out and rolled into Momo's mind, beginning to glow.

Asuna, Argo, Reimu, Yui, Yuuki, Kuroyukihime, Artoria, Kaede, Sisi, Kallen, Jiang Lihua—one name after another jumped into Momo's mind, and their images in Momo's mind gradually became clearer.

At the same time, Momo's communication with Valhalla was smooth again. To be precise, Momo initiated communication with Valhalla, and Valhalla, which had been in standby mode, immediately responded to Momo.

Naturally, Momo's daughter, Yui, the agent of Valhalla, also sensed Momo's presence.

"Dad... Dad!"

A cry of disbelief rang in Mo Mo's mind, followed by a pale blue halo appearing before his eyes. It turned out that Yui had activated quantum acceleration.

Yui's illusory figure appeared before Mo Mo. The petite girl stared blankly at Mo Mo, scrutinizing every detail of his face, as if trying to confirm whether the person in front of her was indeed Mo Mo.

"What's wrong? Don't you recognize me?"

Mo Mo smiled slightly and reached out to Yui, intending to pat her head. However, Yui suddenly rushed over and hugged Mo Mo's neck tightly.

"Dad... Waaah... Waaah... Waaah!"

Yui held Momo tightly, unable to even call him "Dad" anymore. Tears streamed down her face, and her body seemed to be trembling as she held Momo, whether from excitement or from lingering fear.

"Sweetie, Yui, Daddy's fine. Daddy's here, Daddy's holding you, isn't he?"

However, Yui, who was usually well-behaved, completely ignored Mo Mo's words this time. She kept crying, and her illusory tears fell on Mo Mo's face, but dripped into Mo Mo's heart.

After Yui had exhausted herself, Mo Mo hugged her, rested his head against hers, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said what he most wanted to say at that moment.

"I'm back, Yui."

Yui did not respond; she continued to hold Momo with all her might, but her trembling body finally calmed down little by little.

"Welcome back, Daddy. Daddy, you have to promise that you will never leave Yui, okay?"

“Silly daughter, you and your mothers are the most precious people to me. How could I bear to leave you? No matter what stops me, I will come back in the end. I swear on my life.”

Yui finally calmed down and asked, "Dad, what exactly happened that day?"
