Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

If this problem isn't solved, Asuna might transform into a boss with four health bars and slaughter everyone in the room right now!

Argo knew all too well what a radical soul lay hidden beneath Asuna's seemingly gentle exterior. For one thing, she was there when Asuna and her Rose Knights were conquering the boss; Asuna's frenzied charge was practically that of a berserker.

If she weren't wielding a rapier, but a large axe or machete, it wouldn't be a problem to call her Berserker.

How can this problem be solved?

Argo had no choice but to turn his gaze to Momo. Momo looked at Argo and seemed to understand something, then smiled gently.

Gentle my ass! You don't understand at all! This issue is about to explode, why don't you care at all?!

Compared to the real world, nightlife in Aincrad is incredibly monotonous. There are no cell phones, computers, or internet, and even the most basic things like electricity don't exist. What can people do at night in Aincrad?

Basically, it's just a few people getting together to chat over drinks. But everyone is in Aincrad, leveling up and fighting monsters every day. After four months of chatting every day, how much is left to chat about?

Therefore, the nights in Aincrad are dull and monotonous, and players are thus forced to develop the good habit of going to bed early and waking up early.

Sure enough, it was already getting dark, and many players had probably returned to their inns to take stock of the day's gains. Those with crafting skills might take this opportunity to spend some time making some equipment to supplement Cole's income.

Asuna took out the gloves that were half-knitted. These were matching gloves that she was making for herself and Momo. Momo's black pair was already finished, and her white pair was nearing completion.

Just then, Yui, who was close to Argo, yawned, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"Mom, Yui is sleepy, Yui wants to go to sleep."

Ruined!

Argo covered his face; what was bound to happen had finally happened.

Asuna paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something, her expression turning somewhat strange. She said, "Um, Yui, how about you sleep here? The beds here are very comfortable."

"Yes, thank you, Asuna-neechan."

Asuna smiled slightly at Yui's politeness. If Yui didn't cause trouble, she would still be a good child. Was it too narrow-minded of her to dislike such a child?

"Yui still wants to sleep with her mother."

Asuna's eyelids twitched, and Argo's expression changed drastically.

Mo Mo, however, seemed to have become momentarily sluggish, appearing completely oblivious.

Argo wished he could cover Yui's mouth right now, so that she wouldn't say what she was about to say!

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Yui wants to sleep with Daddy too! Daddy, Mommy, let's all sleep together!"

Yui's cheerful voice echoed in the room, her innocent request so adorable, yet this adorable request made the room feel as if covered in frost.

A chilling, black aura emanated from behind Asuna.

"Hey, Yui, don't be naughty! Mommy's here with you, isn't that enough?"

"Um, Asuna, it's getting late. How about Yui and I rent a room at an inn in town? Let's go, Yui!"

Yui pursed her lips, suddenly becoming stubborn, and said, "No! It's the first time Yui has met Mom and Dad, and I want to sleep with them! Why can't I? Shouldn't Mom and Dad sleep together?"

PS: This is the fifth update. I'm done for. I haven't even had lunch yet. Please give me two recommendation votes if you see how pitiful I am! (╯3╰)

071 Hurry up and carry out the mission!

"Hey, Momo, aren't you afraid of getting a hatchet while doing this?"

Reimu Hakurei leisurely observed the strange atmosphere in the living room, almost ready to grab a popcorn. She wasn't nervous at all, after all, she was practically the only outsider.

"Yes, I am scared, but it wasn't me who encouraged this. Wasn't Kayaba Akihiko trying to blackmail Yui to drive a wedge between me and Asuna?"

"In his view, the Rose Garden is in Asuna's hands, and the actual controller of the Watcher Knights is Tilber. If Asuna really separates from me, and if he secretly informs Tilber, I will be all alone."

"Isn't that so?"

Momo shrugged and said, "But he's overthinking it. My relationship with Asuna is unshakeable, and Tilber is a smart man who won't do anything unnecessary. But in this situation, we probably can't expect him to do anything."

"Don't tell me any useless things. Aren't you really going to try to salvage the relationship?"

"Well, Argo chose to be Yui's mother, so she has to face all of this. Or rather, she has to face Asuna openly, only in this way can she untangle her knot in her heart."

“This is a trial for Argo, and I cannot stop it.”

Reimu Hakurei narrowed her eyes, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "Why do I feel like something's not quite right? Shouldn't this trial be a trial for you? Two girls, each with a wood-chopping knife, making you make a rational choice with your life on the line?"

"What a joke. How could I possibly face such a situation? Everything is under control. Right now, I'm completely detached. If I were to easily get involved, it would probably ignite everything in an instant."

"You know that too? Then let's solve this problem quickly!"

Momo shrugged and said, "Stop joking, Reimu. What's the problem? Asuna and Argo are still good friends, and Argo and I are just ordinary friends. We're just a little awkward on the surface because of this mission."

"Yeah, on the surface, it's actually about to explode!"

"Therefore, I cannot mention anything about internal affairs. I can just act according to the surface situation. The internal affairs did not originate from me, and I cannot allow them to be transferred to me."

"What a scumbag's declaration, you'll definitely get a machete."

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "That's for sure. The woodcutter will appear sooner or later, and he must appear to expose and eliminate the internal contradictions. Otherwise, I have no other choice."

"You'll be killed with a machete!"

"No, no, we'll wait and see."

No one knows what Momo and Reimu Hakurei were saying. Yui stared at Asuna defiantly. Argo stood awkwardly, wanting to persuade Yui, but for some reason, he didn't take any action.

"Argo, is that what you think too?"

Argo's spirits lifted, and he quickly denied it, saying, "How could that be? Didn't I already say I was taking Yui back to the hotel? Yui, how about coming back to the hotel with Mom? Mom will rent the most luxurious hotel; the beds there are even more comfortable than here!"

Yui glanced at Argo with a slightly aggrieved look, then looked at Momo and asked, "Um, is Daddy going with Yui?"

"How is that possible!"

Argo and Asuna spoke at the same time, which startled Yui. Yui covered her head and looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Asuna was both amused and exasperated. Although Yui's suggestion was absurd, Yui was, after all, a child, and Asuna would never stoop to her level.

As for Argo, no matter what Argo is thinking, as long as Argo has a sense of proportion, Asuna won't really turn against him.

"Mo Mo!"

Asuna looked at Momo reproachfully and said, "You're usually the most talkative and have the most ideas! Why are you so quiet now?"

"Actually... I told you I was afraid of getting beaten up!"

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to hit you right now!"

Seeing this, Reimu Hakurei sneered, "I knew it! How could you possibly protect yourself like this?"

"Well then, I have a suggestion that might solve our current problem. What do you think?"

……

"Is this your suggestion?"

Asuna and Argo silently stared at a sleeping bag beside the bed, both feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Yes, this satisfies Yui's request without upsetting Asuna. Isn't this a great method?"

Asuna and Argo looked at Momo with a hint of apology, because Momo's suggestion was simple and realistic.

Regardless, it's a double bed. Yui's small size means she doesn't take up much space, but the bed can still only sleep two people.

Since that's the case, let the two ladies stay in bed. Momo laid out sleeping bags at the corner of the wall, and they can sleep in them for the night.

Sleeping in a sleeping bag isn't really suffering. After all, while the wilderness at night in SAO is dangerous, the rewards are also plentiful. If it's safe to do so, many people choose to continue fighting monsters and leveling up for a while at night.

As for characters like Kirito who are obsessed with conquering others, they even prepare sleeping bags and occasionally take a nap at a safe spot. They can spend more than ten days in a row conquering others in the wild or in dungeons, truly becoming a conquest maniac.

"Even so... let Argo..."

Asuna was still somewhat hesitant; in her view, this still meant that Argo and Momo would be in the same room.

However, she didn't finish her sentence. If she still objected after that, wouldn't she seem too petty?

After all, everyone's just resting; they don't necessarily have to take off their clothes or anything...

"Why? Why does Daddy have to sleep on the floor? Can't Daddy sleep with Yui?"

"If Daddy is in bed, Asuna will have to be on the water! Taking care of ladies is a gentleman's duty, a basic moral principle of human civilization."

Mo Mo's words were clearly effective, silencing the disgruntled Yui.

Seeing that her mood was still off, Argo said, "Well, isn't this a bit much? Yui, can't you just listen to me? Otherwise, Mom will get angry!"

"No, that's not right! Mom and Dad want to be together, and Yui wants to be together too! Yui won't sleep in the bed anymore, I want to be next to Dad!"

Yui's suggestion instantly made Argo's face light up with desire again, while Asuna sighed and said, "I think we should just leave it at that."

After saying that, Asuna clicked on the headboard and turned the bed back into furniture, folding it up completely, making the bedroom much more spacious.

"Let's just have all four of us sleep in sleeping bags and pretend we're camping in the wild. I also have a spare sleeping bag on me, the best quality one, which I can give to Yui."

"As for the seating arrangement, Yui will be between you and Momo, and I'll be next to Momo. Is that alright?"

Argo gave a wry smile and said, "Well, thank you for your help."

"If you really feel like you're troubling me, Argo, go and find out about Yui's mission tomorrow. I mean it."

After saying that, Asuna laid out four sleeping bags side by side on the ground. Although her tone was calm, Argo knew that Asuna's limit of endurance was approaching.

After all, Argo's entanglement with Momo wasn't truly due to the mission. Asuna's willingness to let Argo go for the sake of the mission was already a magnanimous act, but it doesn't mean that Asuna will continue to tolerate it.

"I understand……"

"Mother……"

"Okay, Yui, don't overthink it! Mommy will sleep with you tonight, okay?"

"Ok!"

So, the four of them bought a new house today, packed up their beds in the bedroom, and had a fun camping trip. It was truly a cause for celebration.

"Is this your tactic: to make yourself a victim and then escape unscathed?"

Reimu Hakurei floated in the air. She didn't need to sleep, so she chatted with Momo, who had her eyes closed.

"Don't talk nonsense. I just did what I was supposed to do. Their conflict started because of me, but now I'm not at the center of the conflict. Should I rush in and get squeezed by both sides?"

"Well, you could call it a choice. I've given the decision to Argo, let's see what he does. Maybe we'll miss out, maybe..."
