Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Sigh, what can I do? Mo Mo isn't a lolicon.

“However,” Momo’s change of topic caught the girl’s attention, “it feels really awkward! Look, my name is Momo, this guy next to me is Best, and this guy is Rami. They’re all short names.”

"Even the great God of Heavenly Punishment has the name Alastor. As the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer, do you really expect others to address you with this tongue-twisting and lengthy title when you communicate with them?"

Upon hearing this, the girl paused slightly, a look of astonishment on her face, as if she had never considered this question before. At that moment, the gem pendant on her chest—the divine artifact Krokutus—shone with a crimson light, and Alastor's voice rang out.

"Indeed, this was an oversight on our part. Although a name is just a code name, it can shorten the distance between us. Before, we were communicating with Crimson World beings and enemies, so perhaps this could be overlooked. But if we are going to communicate with friends, a code name will still be necessary."

The girl nodded, frowned and thought for a few seconds. Her eyes lit up when she glanced at her sword. "Then, call me Zhi Dian Zhe Na," she said. "It's the name of my sword. Four characters isn't too long."

But at this moment, Mo Mo shook his head slightly and chuckled, saying, "You said it yourself, this is the name of your sword. This sword is quite famous, isn't it? So when I call you Zhi Dian Zhe Na, am I referring to your sword or to you?"

Ugh, this is so annoying!

The girl blurted out her catchphrase, revealing a side of herself that was unknown beneath her calm exterior. However, she seemed to immediately realize the inappropriateness of this emotion, and then said with a stern face, "This won't work, that won't work, what do you suggest? It's just a code name, why make it so complicated!"

“Naming is actually a very sacred thing for humans. How about this, I’ll give you a name… how about Shana? It’s similar to what Shana said, short and easy to pronounce, just like Rami and Best.”

Hearing this, the girl seemed surprised that Momo had given her a name. She was a little taken aback, looked down at the necklace, and said, "Alastor, is this name suitable?"

Alastor pondered for a few seconds and said, "As far as language and pronunciation are concerned, there is nothing inappropriate about it. Indeed, as the administrator said, it is much more appropriate than you referring to yourself as the name of the Nite-dono Zena. A name is a code. If you agree, then so be it."

Alastair didn't believe a name could have any special meaning; it was merely a label to facilitate the girl's movements and communication. By now, Alastair had begun to notice the girl's communication problems, and having raised her as a daughter, she was trying to resolve these issues.

"Shana... Shana!"

The girl kept repeating the name Shana. For some reason, the name seemed to have a magical power, slowly entering her heart and making her feel a thrill she had never experienced before.

Is this... the feeling of a name?

How strange...

But... it feels pretty good!

A hint of excitement appeared on her lips, but then the smile faded. She looked at Mo Mo and said, "I accept this name. Thank you."

Immediately, Shana withdrew her hand and looked at Mo Mo with interest. Mo Mo also reluctantly withdrew her hand, still feeling the gentle touch of Shana's small hand.

"Mo Mo... are you alright?"

Seeing that Momo and Shana had finished their initial meeting, Best, who was holding Momo's hand and staring at her without looking away, finally couldn't help but speak.

She had been silently calculating the time in her mind, and seeing Mo Mo's sudden stiffness just now, she realized that Mo Mo had lost the memories of the fifteen days she was closest to her.

Now... the time to test her and Mo Mo has come. The time has come to see if another promise between her and Mo Mo can be fulfilled!

Momo once asked Best if he was willing to completely give up the Crimson World, even the race and identity of the Crimson World Demon King, and leave the Crimson World to live with Momo forever.

At that time, Best was clearly still hesitant. In her view, if she wanted to have a home, she had to be recognized by the existence of the Crimson World and then return to the Crimson World. It wasn't until Momo and Best reached an agreement that Best was able to let go of her last burden and completely communicate with Momo on a spiritual level.

And so, in his final days, Best never left Momo's side, basking in Momo's warmth and enjoying the warmth of family.

Now, Best is absolutely certain that she can't live without it all. If Momo invites her again, she will agree without hesitation, leave the Crimson World, abandon everything, even her identity and race, and stay with Momo forever.

The premise is... as long as Mo Mo can still fulfill his promise to her.

The agreement is actually quite simple: after Momo loses the precious memories of those fifteen days, after losing the memories of those fifteen days when she was most closely connected with Best, will Momo still fall in love with Best again and invite Best to become Momo's family?

Momo assured Best that even if she lost her precious memories and met Best again, Momo would still fall in love with Best immediately and invite Best to join Momo's side.

Best also promised Momo that if Momo really did this, she would follow him without any hesitation.

Now, the moment to decide everything has arrived.

"Mo Mo, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"There must be, right?"

"Absolutely... there must be!"

Tears blurred Best's emerald green pupils, and her small cat ears twitched uneasily, as if she were trembling. But what awaited Best was a somewhat bewildered look, as if the owner of that look didn't understand why Best was behaving this way.

For Momo, her memories were stuck on Best's constant rejections. Her closest memory with Best was when Momo casually teased... cough, massaged Best's ears.

However, judging from Best's current behavior, it seems that the relationship between Best and Momo is not so simple. According to Momo's plan, he was originally going to pursue Best with all his might, so why does Momo seem to be spending his last few days in a state of idling?

How strange... Even though the girls have all returned to Valhalla, Mo Mo can still find Jiang Lihua and experience the warmth of family! And for Mo Mo, this is actually a very pleasant thing, watching Jiang Lihua blush and tremble as she slowly removes her luxurious outer garment, calling out "Teacher Mo Mo" with dreamy eyes...

Ahem, I need to stay positive and stop thinking about this. Otherwise, if Shana sees the changes in Mo Mo's body, she'll probably think the upright and handsome young man Mo Mo is a pervert.

"Yui, do you know anything?"

Mo Mo and Yui exchanged a rapid conversation, and Yui shook her head, saying, "Dad, I only know that we're missing a piece of our memory, but I don't know why. Could it be... the power of trading?"

Momo nodded and said, "It seems that's how it is. It seems that I made some kind of deal with Best, and the price was to take away my memories!"

"Then Dad, what should we do?"

Yui's voice carried a hint of anxiety as she said, "Judging from the current situation, Best seems to be waiting, and there's a time limit, but we have absolutely no idea what's going on."

Mo Mo pondered for a moment and said, "I would never do something I'm not sure of, so I definitely have a backup plan. Yui, investigate carefully and see if we've left any records or information these past few days. The breakthrough might be here."

"Okay, I'll check right away!"

Yui quickly inquired of the various Heroic Spirits, and in an instant, Jiang Lihua responded, saying, "Teacher, teacher, you finally contacted me! Here are the documents you asked me to give you when you first contacted me after you left Academy City!"

Soon, a huge folder of video data was handed over. After Yui's adjustments, hundreds of files began to play simultaneously in front of Mo Mo. Seeing the same two main characters in every frame, even Mo Mo, who was usually thick-skinned, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Because the folder containing these images is named...

Momo and the Cat-Eared Lolita.avi

270 Now, the timing is just right.

Although Momo showed considerable interest in the information, Best was still waiting for Momo's reply, so Momo naturally couldn't keep Best waiting for long.

Therefore, he needed to obtain enough information from this document to determine what exactly happened between him and Best during those final days.

Once we know what happened between the two of them in their final days...

Hmm... it seems there's no need to make a judgment anymore. Mo Mo thought to himself, considering the amount of data. It seems that Mo Mo and Best don't have time to do anything else.

Well, let's think about it from a different perspective.

Why did Best, who had been rejecting Momo and wanting to make Crimson World his home, suddenly change his mind and become so devoted to Momo, willing to enjoy the warmth of family with her?

There is only one answer: Best chose to believe in Momo, trust Momo, and was willing to entrust the future to Momo. The two made some kind of agreement using their trading powers.

What is this agreement?

Momo didn't know, but right now he needed to give Best an answer according to this agreement he himself was unaware of, and give Best the answer he wanted.

Best's question is whether Momer has anything to say.

Logically speaking, even with this information, it seems impossible for Momo to arrive at an answer. After all, Momo could ask many questions in countless ways, and it appears impossible for him to completely replicate his relationship with Best.

However, this didn't stump Momo. Since reason sometimes couldn't lead Momo to make her own decisions, then leaving it to her heart and emotions was enough.

Facing Best, who was on the verge of tears, and her trembling, petite body, and recalling the hundreds of video clips showing Best's attachment and infatuation with Momo, that sweetness of not wanting to be apart for even a second, Momo had completely decided what she wanted to say to Best.

Momo knew that this must be the right answer.

Since this was a question Mo Mo set for himself, he must have known clearly at that time that, under the current circumstances, the answer he could think of as quickly as possible would be the most correct one.

Looking down at Best, who was tense, anxious, and almost in despair, Momo did not hesitate at all. He knelt down on one knee, took Best's hand, and gently kissed the back of Best's hand.

"I do have something to tell you."

This development surprised Rami and Shana, who stared wide-eyed. Although they had expected this, they were astonished that Momo was so bold. Was he going to poach people in front of them?

That's right, that's the truth. Momo is indeed openly poaching talent.

"Best."

"Yes, I'm here!"

Best's breath had completely stopped. She stared wide-eyed at Momo, at his lips, waiting for his words. This was a moment that would decide her fate, a moment to witness the emotions between the two of them.

"Would you come to my side and stay with me forever?"

A soft voice, accompanied by a gentle smile at the corner of Mo Mo's mouth—this was the answer Mo Mo had given, one he firmly believed was absolutely correct, an answer derived from confidence and self-understanding.

"I am willing!"

Before Momo could finish speaking, Best shouted and immediately squeezed into Momo's arms, wrapping his arms tightly around Momo's neck, as if intending to never be separated from him for another second.

Tears quickly soaked Momo's shoulder, and Best's sobs not only didn't subside, but grew louder, echoing incessantly in Momo's ears. However, unlike before, Best was merely venting this time, releasing the regret and worry of the past few days.

After the tears have dried, a beautiful smile will surely bloom on Best's face, right?

Thinking of this, Mo Mo revealed a warm smile.

However, compared to the warm atmosphere between Momo and Best, Rami and Shana's expressions changed from surprise to stiffness, as if things had exceeded their expectations and Momo's behavior was unacceptable to them.

“Rami,” Alastair’s voice came through, “this doesn’t match the information you provided. I believe the administrators have already decided to take Best away, and they have no intention of consulting us.”

Rami gave a wry smile and said, "Well... I did think Mr. Momo was a calm, rational, and trustworthy communication partner. But it seems that, as a human, he is prone to impulsiveness when it comes to matters of the heart."

"Humph!"

Shana flicked the sword in her hand and said, "Why all the nonsense? If he wants to forcibly take Best from us, then he should be prepared to be killed by me."

"Hey, Momo, do you really intend to be an enemy of the Crimson World?"

The long sword was pointed at Mo Mo's face, and Mo Mo's gaze followed the sword to Shana. A hint of disappointment and impatience appeared in Shana's eyes, but all of this turned into a determination.

Clearly, if things continue this way, Shana will not allow Momo to take Best away.

"Momo, I advise you to calm down. Even though you're a manager, and I don't doubt your ability to take Best away, that means you'll become our complete enemy..."

Rami seemed to be trying to persuade Momo, but before he could finish speaking, a huge change seemed to occur in the black hole in the sky.

Clearly, this black hole is a passage connecting to the Crimson World. Previously, due to Shana's appearance, it was filled with crimson flames. Now, Shana has used up a great deal of her power, and it has become pitch black again. Looking into the distance, one can see the bizarre and fantastical scenery belonging to the Crimson World.

Now, within this dark passage, there is something that can clearly be called an artificial object—a spiral passage, or rather, a spiral staircase, which was gradually created by a huge being from the Crimson World on the other side of the passage and then led to the dimension of A Certain Magical Index.

Where it goes, it creates; where it passes, it becomes a pathway.

Finally, the colossal entity emerged from the black hole, revealing its head—a gigantic snake's head!

Its head alone could almost cover a large part of the sky. Its black surface covered most of its body, while the cheeks of the snake's head were decorated with scarlet color, making this giant snake look ferocious and terrifying, yet full of irresistible majesty.

The moment Mo Mo saw it, he knew who had arrived.

Fuxi, the Serpent of Creation and Sacrifice, is the most powerful of the three demon gods of the Crimson World. He has an extremely strong desire for domination and is recognized as a being with world-destroying power.
