Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The smooth ground, the neat flower beds, the dim streetlights along the roadside, and the dark school buildings in the distance—all of these proclaim that Momo is located in a modern school campus.

Where is this?

This thought crossed the minds of Momo, Yuki, and Yui. The three of them quickly observed everything around them, only to find, to their dismay, that there was nothing there that could serve as a reference point for providing information.

Not to mention figuring out the country, location, and time they were in, Momo didn't even know the name of the school, and hadn't seen any signs of life yet.

It's as if this campus, this whole world, is a dead world.

"dad……"

Yui's voice was filled with unease, while Momo shook his head slightly and advised, "It's not your fault, Yui. The journey through the world was accomplished by you taking power from Lord Alaya and following Lord Alaya's instructions."

"So, now that we've arrived here without any interference, it means that Lord Alaya sent us here."

"As for whether this is Gensokyo or not, I have no doubt. Surely Lord Alaya wouldn't have made such a mistake as sending us to the wrong world?"

Mo Mo stroked his chin, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "The most likely scenario is that this is probably modern society outside of Gensokyo. For some reason, we didn't enter Gensokyo, but instead ended up in a school outside of it..."

At this point, Mo Mo shut his mouth, because he couldn't continue. What he had said was merely Mo Mo's own deduction, and seeing the figures appearing in the distance, Mo Mo knew that his deduction had become a complete joke.

This person should absolutely not be here... no, she should absolutely not be in Gensokyo. But she appeared right in front of Momo, smiling, holding a sniper rifle and giving Momo a welcoming smile.

"Welcome to the front line where death is intolerable!"

026 Want to try dying once?

The newcomer had shoulder-length purple hair and wore a rather unusual style of school uniform. She wore a green bow headband, and her bright green eyes were captivating.

However, what caught Momo's attention the most was the badge on her shoulder embroidered with the words "Rebels against the God".

A rebel against God?

As Mo Mo sized up the person in front of her, the person was also sizing up Mo Mo and Konno Muya. Her eyes were full of surprise, as if she was wondering why Mo Mo and Konno Muya were different.

Logically speaking, everyone who enters the afterlife, regardless of their circumstances in life, will put on a school uniform the moment they enter this world, become a member of the school, and have their own role.

Including herself, all her team members were in the same situation when they first arrived in this world. Only the two people in front of her had a different appearance than anyone else in her memory.

Although the boy wasn't wearing a school uniform, his clothing was still within the realm of ordinary people and acceptable. But as for the girl, putting aside her astonishingly long hair and perfect face, her exquisite light armor and the long sword at her waist looked almost like the real thing.

Is this girl an actress in real life?

Perhaps it was one of those kids who liked cosplaying anime characters, and they got into an accident during a performance, which led them to this place?

The girl was quickly considering the identities of the two people in front of her. Based on her judgment, she would decide how to explain the world to them and ultimately win them over to her side.

Their campaign had gotten off to a bad start, with many newcomers joining the angels' side, which made the girl extremely anxious. In particular, the girls who had recently joined the angels' side had shown great fighting power, which further hampered her resistance efforts.

Change is necessary; resistance is necessary!

The girl had made up her mind; her rebellion would begin with the man and woman in front of her, and she had to bring them both into her camp!

Hmm... it seems the success rate is quite high, because this couple has been holding hands tightly ever since. Even if they are not lovers, they are like siblings, or at least close friends.

In this way, once you've won over one person, what's the point of talking to the other one?

"You two are really amazing; you managed to stay fully conscious!"

The girl spoke, her words filled with genuine admiration.

Everyone who enters the afterlife loses some of their memories of their previous life, leading to doubts about their past. Of course, before that, everyone must lie on the ground for a considerable period of time; no one is exempt.

In the past, when the girl and her friends noticed that the newlyweds had entered the afterlife, they could usually calmly rush over to protect them and wait for the angels to appear, since the newlyweds were unconscious and wouldn't wander off.

However, this time, the new recruits were immediately conscious upon their appearance, not unconscious. This made her, who was on duty, even more eager to see the combat capabilities of these two newcomers.

It should be very strong, in every aspect?

If they are really strong, then she can make good use of these two newcomers!

"Let me introduce myself. I am the leader of the Unforgiving Death Front, or SSS Front for short. Although this is a bit abrupt, please accept this fact: you are all dead now."

After speaking, Yuri Nakamura nervously looked at the two newcomers. How to explain all this to them, make them understand and believe it, and finally get them to join her united front against the angels—this was a problem that had been giving Yuri Nakamura a headache.

Putting everything else aside, how do you convince someone that he is already dead?

However, to her surprise, although the two people in front of her looked somewhat serious, they did not show much surprise or aversion to what she said. This indicated that they were listening to her and did not rashly judge whether her words were true or false based on their instinctive reactions.

That's good!

Yuri Nakamura breathed a sigh of relief. Although it's more difficult to persuade a rational person than an emotional one, at least initially, the other party wouldn't think she, Yuri Nakamura, was a fraud, or go crazy because of the current chaotic situation.

"I will explain and prove what I have said in detail later. I don't expect you to believe me now, but please give me a little time. Come with me, I will take you to a safe place."

"Otherwise, if you stand here doing nothing, you'll be completely wiped out by the angels, and you won't even be able to continue living in this world!"

After Yuri Nakamura finished reciting her prepared lines, Mo Mo finally realized where she was.

This is the afterlife, the world depicted in the work "AngelBeats!".

This world is less a complete world and more a place for those who regret their death to examine and discover themselves before fully accepting death and disappearance, and finally let go of their obsessions or emotions from their lives.

In other words, only the dead can enter this world by chance. Once there, they lose some or all of their memories from their previous life, live as students, and only disappear from this world when they recall and let go of the regrets of their past life.

This is the true meaning of what Yuri Nakamura meant by being completely wiped out.

However, it is clear that Yuri Nakamura does not yet understand the significance of the people here disappearing from this afterlife. She does not know that the people who disappeared here have already let go of their regrets, and instead feels that disappearing from here is a tragic thing.

After all, this was their last paradise, for those who were already dead.

"What... don't you believe me?"

Nakamura Yuri saw Momo and Konno Yuuki remain silent, her tone tinged with helplessness, and said, "Although I have a way to prove all this to you now, it will hurt a lot, and you will definitely be angry with me afterwards. So, how about you believe me for now?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

The method of proof that Yuri Nakamura mentioned is probably to just shoot Momo, kill him, and then revive him.

Since they are already dead, they will not die again. People who die in this world will soon be resurrected, regardless of how they died or where they died.

This is what makes the afterlife unique.

The only condition for leaving this world is to let go of everything from one's previous life, so no one will disappear from this world until this goal is achieved.

Therefore, people here don't age, don't get sick, and even death is just a painful experience followed by a quick resurrection. It's like a true paradise; you don't have to worry about anything, just enjoy campus life.

Only when the person who comes here lets go of the regrets of their previous life and releases the knot in their heart will they completely disappear from this world, completing the ending of death that should have been completed long ago but was interrupted by falling into this world.

As for what supports all of this, what sustains the operation of these laws within this small world, it is something like a mysterious computer program. It seems that the entire world here is the result of a program's operation, but what exactly it is is not explained in depth in the original work, which is why Mo Mo is quite curious about this world.

What exactly is this world?

"Ugh, this is so troublesome... I don't want to do this."

Seeing that Mo Mo still didn't react, Yuri Nakamura reluctantly released the safety and pointed the gun at Mo Mo. She was determined to prove the reality of this world to Mo Mo herself, even if it meant hurting him now and being hated by him later.

Because the two newcomers are not unconscious, Yuri Nakamura is able to have a long talk with Momo and Konno Yuuki. Normally, the angels would arrive by the time the newcomers wake up.

Now, because Momo and Konno Muyuki have been conscious and transformed, buying time, the angel should still be on its way. But if this delay continues, by the time the angel arrives, everything will have been in vain.

"I'm sorry, I'll apologize to you later!"

After uttering these farewell words, Yuri Nakamura pointed her gun at Momo's head without hesitation, intending to blow Momo's forehead off with a single shot.

This wasn't because Yuri Nakamura was cruel, but because if the goal was to kill Momo and revive her to prove the reality of this world, then it was better to be ruthless and make Momo suffer for a moment.

Otherwise, would you rather shoot Momo in the lungs and let him wail for a few more minutes?

That would be truly cruel!

Yuri Nakamura gritted her teeth, her index finger pulling the trigger, as if the gunshot would ring out in the next instant.

"Om-"

However, instead of gunshots, a strange buzzing sound rang out.

Yuri Nakamura's pupils contracted; she realized what had happened, yet she couldn't see anything. Even the expressions and movements of the boy and girl before her seemed unchanged.

However, the next moment, Yuri Nakamura finally realized what had happened.

The sniper rifle she had been holding, which had been pristine and brand new, now had cracks running through its body. These cracks intersected and crisscrossed, breaking the rifle into pieces the size of fingernails.

"Splash!"

Next, the sniper rifle, now a collection of fragments, could no longer offer her any assistance. It slipped from her hands as real pieces, like a long, blocky gun she had been holding, now shattered into pieces.

What... happened?

Yuri Nakamura felt as if her brain had stopped working. Everything that was happening before her eyes was completely beyond her imagination. Why did her gun turn into pieces in an instant?

Looking down at the shards, with their smooth, even bright, cuts, Yuri Nakamura finally realized that, in that instant, something had destroyed the gun in her hand at a speed beyond her sight.

Who exactly has this ability?

There seems to be only one answer.

Angel!

027 Are you an angel?

Only angels could do such a thing; only angels possessed such power. This concept had long been ingrained in Yuri Nakamura's heart, so she immediately looked up and around, searching for any trace of angels.

Is this a new ability developed by the angels? Can the angels now remotely destroy their weapons?

This is not good news!

Originally, Yuri Nakamura could only use the weapons she created to suppress the angels, and the angels only had melee combat abilities. This maintained a balance between the two sides, allowing Yuri Nakamura and her companions to fight against the angels.

Now that the angels can remotely destroy their weapons, doesn't that mean the original balance has been broken, and Nakamura Yuri and the others no longer have any means to resist the angels?

So, what awaits them?

There seems to be only one answer: to be slaughtered by angels, to be completely annihilated, to be driven out of this world, to die a true death!

Their past lives were already unbearable for them, so after death they came to this new world, a world that can be called paradise. Is it still impossible for them to enjoy a wonderful life?

How can such a thing be accepted!

Yuri Nakamura was extremely nervous. Just when she didn't know how to face the angel with new abilities, she was shocked to find that the angel was not in her sight.

What happened? Where are they?
