Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Yuri Nakamura wouldn't say such a thing impulsively. Aside from the fact that she didn't know the true relationship between Momo and Konno Yuuki, just seeing their intimate hand-holding and the lingering look Konno Yuuki gave Momo made it clear to Yuri that Konno Yuuki was very happy with Momo.

How could she possibly mock such happiness?

"Is it over? Is this equipment really that complicated?"

Yuri Nakamura's tone became a little impatient. Although she didn't want to pay attention, Mo Mo's fingertips kept tracing back and forth across her neck, making her breathing increasingly erratic.

She was worried that the change in her breathing might be heard by Momo, which could lead Momo to have some bad associations.

Regardless of what Momo has put on her, let's just get this over with as soon as possible.

"What are you doing?!"

But this time, the answer she received was not from Mo Mo, but from the voice of someone that Nakamura Yuri knew very well—a furious roar.

030 What is it like to lack emotional intelligence?

Several people turned their heads at the same time and immediately saw a strange man. He had the same purple hair as Yuri Nakamura and was wearing a similar uniform, so he was obviously Yuri Nakamura's companion.

However, what is most surprising is that, compared to the sniper rifle that Yuri Nakamura was holding, what this person was carrying on his shoulder was an exaggerated two-handed battle axe. The sharp axe blade showed that this battle axe was definitely not just for show.

Upon seeing this person, Mo Mo knew who he was.

His name is Noda, and by design, he's a bumbling character who relies on force. He won't obey anyone's orders except for Yuri Nakamura, and the reason he does this is naturally because he secretly admires Yuri Nakamura.

After entering the afterlife, he believed he had entered a game. He was the male protagonist in the game, while Nakamura Yuri was the female protagonist in her game. Only after being persuaded by Nakamura Yuri did he realize the true nature of this world and join Nakamura Yuri's anti-angel front.

Perhaps, in the process, Noda's heart was also won over by Nakamura Yuri. As a martial arts idiot, he obviously had no emotional intelligence. The only thing he could do was to shoulder his big axe, suppress his insatiable desires, and decide to protect Nakamura Yuri forever.

Hmm... This is typical of a single person with no future. They are destined to be a minor character in the original story, then be quickly overtaken by the protagonist, and finally disappear silently with their feelings intact.

Such a plight deserves Mo Mo's sympathy, but Mo Mo couldn't feel sympathy at this moment, because Noda was now carrying his big axe, releasing his pent-up desires, and charging towards Mo Mo.

Clearly, he completely misunderstood that Momo and Nakamura Yuri were having intimate contact. But you can't blame him; he's not exactly a genius, and from his perspective, Nakamura Yuri was practically tossing her hair and preparing to throw herself into Momo's arms.

What happens next? Does that mean the two of them will...?

This development clearly exceeded Noda's tolerance limit, even though Yuri Nakamura had previously ordered that no one should disturb her contact with the newcomer without her permission.

There was nothing he could do; the girl he liked was practically throwing herself at a new guy, how could he possibly stand it?

"Yuri, there's a limit to your nonsense!"

Noda rushed over, standing a few steps away from Momo and Nakamura Yuri. He swung the large axe on his shoulder around like a windmill, then stared intently at Momo with a murderous gaze.

"Get your filthy hands off Yuri! Don't you have any shame at all? How dare you lay your hands on Yuri like that? Who gave you the audacity?"

"And Yuri, while recruiting new people is important, you can't sacrifice yourself to this extent! Even if there are no new people, you still have me, so why are you throwing yourself at them?"

"Yuri, you need to be reserved! Don't lose your chastity just because you're in a hurry! Didn't we agree to fool these two newbies? We can use all sorts of methods and schemes to deceive them. What's the big deal about you sacrificing your looks!"

"Get out of the way, let me chop him up! I'm going to kill him a hundred times to vent my anger!"

"That bastard, how dare he touch my little Yuri!"

Noda's voice was stern, a mix of persuasion and criticism, as if in his eyes Nakamura Yuri's behavior had crossed the line and become intolerable.

However, when faced with the aggressive Noda, Momo revealed a playful smile.

It wasn't that Momo looked down on Noda's strength—although Noda's strength was indeed nothing to Momo. Rather, it was because, compared to Momo, the person directly involved, Nakamura Yuri was actually more furious about her partner's words and actions.

Yuri Nakamura's forehead veins throbbed. She had turned her back to Mo Mo, and Mo Mo's hands rested lightly on her shoulders. Having already grown accustomed to the presence of Mo Mo's fingers, Yuri Nakamura didn't react much to this intimate gesture.

Of course, the main reason she didn't react was because she was angry with Noda.

"you……"

Yuri Nakamura finally let out her suppressed voice. Instead of dodging as Noda had told her, she roared at Noda.

"What kind of nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean I don't even care about my chastity? Are you saying I'm seducing Mo Mo... seducing a newcomer? Can't you have any intelligence in your head besides your muscles?!"

Noda's swinging motion with the great axe came to an abrupt halt; the momentum almost made him throw the axe away.

However, more than his flustered state due to the large axe, his eyes revealed his current state: a bewildered and clueless state of not knowing what had happened.

This is how the same thing?

Yuri...why are you angry?

At this point, shouldn't Yuri, ashamed that his righteous words exposed her conspiracy, step aside? And then shouldn't he use his righteous axe to inflict divine punishment on this audacious newcomer?

Why is the plot developing so strangely?

Why is Yuri angry?

Noda didn't understand why Nakamura Yuri was angry, which was actually understandable, because Nakamura Yuri herself didn't understand why she was so angry. It seemed that in an instant, she released all the pressure that had accumulated during her conversation with Momo onto Noda.

“Fine, you don’t believe my actions,” Yuri Nakamura said, her voice tinged with grievance, “but you actually revealed our entire plan. The new recruits will definitely think we’re deliberately deceiving them!”

"We recruit newcomers to show them the truth about this world. And you, on the other hand, think our plan is a lie? Those were just words we used when we finalized the plan, things we joked about, not something we actually intended to deceive!"

At this point, Yuri Nakamura was certain of one thing: Momo and Konno Yuuki were definitely not newcomers. So she stopped pretending. She was already struggling to deal with this strange and powerful Momo, and not only did her companions not support her, but they also rushed up to criticize her.

If Yuri Nakamura weren't a strong girl, she probably would have lost control of her emotions by now.

However, Yuri Nakamura is Yuri Nakamura after all. She took a few deep breaths and said, "Alright, Noda, let's not get so excited. This place isn't what you think. It's just that this newcomer gave me a gift, and I want to learn from him how to use it."

"Leave this to me. There's no danger and no need for force, so put away your axe."

Yuri Nakamura is a leader; she can't just lose her temper easily. She has to be considerate of everyone's feelings and give everyone hope. Noda's mistake was unintentional; after all, he's just a simpleton. I'll explain it to him later.

Despite still harboring a lingering resentment, Yuri Nakamura had decided to deal with it this way. As for her resentment... perhaps a good night's sleep would do the trick?

"Are you alright?"

At this moment, Mo Mo gently tightened his large hand on Nakamura Yuri's shoulder, as if trying to grasp her small, trembling shoulder. However, Mo Mo controlled the pressure, making his hand act as a support, instantly giving Nakamura Yuri a sense of security.

Yuri Nakamura had already become familiar with the presence and temperature of Mo Mo's fingers by using her neck. Although Mo Mo's subtle movements made Yuri Nakamura a little uncomfortable, the feeling of having gained a huge support made Yuri Nakamura feel much more relaxed.

Yuri Nakamura's tense body relaxed, and instinctively she relied on this trustworthy force. A smile appeared on her lips as she said, "It's okay, I'm fine. Noda just misunderstood, don't be angry."

"If it's my fault, I have no problem apologizing."

Momo gently responded to Nakamura Yuri, saying, "I am indeed not the god or angel you speak of. However, I can tell you that I am not an ordinary human either."

"As for what exactly I am and what power I have, I will tell you when you are ready. But what I can tell you now is, Ms. Nakamura Yuri... no, Yuri, you can trust me, and I am willing to be your friend and your partner."

His gentle voice brushed past Yuri Nakamura's ear and penetrated her heart. In an instant, Yuri Nakamura felt that this boy behind her, whom she had only recently met, seemed to understand the burden on her shoulders and her pursuit in this world better than Noda, who had been following her for a long time.

Perhaps... this is fate?

Perhaps later, she will also become partners with Momo, and in a way she cannot imagine?

"Thank you."

Yuri Nakamura uttered two words softly. If she had felt aversion and wariness towards Mo Mo just now, she was now more curious about him.

Who exactly is Momo? If he's not human, then what is he? And what is the purpose of the neural connection device he gave me?

Of course, Yuri Nakamura would never let her guard down around Momo until she was completely certain that Momo was neither a god nor an angel. However, now, in Yuri Nakamura's mind, Momo was no longer a suspect.

The friendly interaction between the two made Yuri Nakamura shake off her previous resentment. She was preparing to end this somewhat strange meeting and go back to study the neural connection device and think about what had happened today, but at this moment, Noda's axe started swinging again.

An indescribable anger filled his face, distorting his expression.

"I told you, let go of Yuri! Didn't you hear me?!"

031 Come see my precious baby

Noda repeated what he had just said, as if he had been out of touch with the world for some time, and everything Nakamura Yuri said to him had no effect.

Yuri Nakamura looked at Noda in surprise, her eyes filled with confusion. She didn't understand why Noda was so angry; she didn't understand why Noda, who had at least listened to her before, was no longer listening to her.

"Noda, what are you doing! What do you mean he let me go? He didn't do anything to me!"

"Calm down. This is a complicated matter. I'll explain it to you when we get back. I'll tell you everything."

Today's meeting with Momo was truly peculiar, especially considering Momo's identity. Nakamura Yuri needs to sort all of this out herself, and before she does, it's clear that sharing these doubts and speculations with the muscle-bound Noda would be pointless.

However, the enraged Noda ignored even Nakamura Yuri's words. He dragged his large axe across the ground with heavy steps, sparks flying as the axe scraped against the earth.

"Noda!"

Yuri Nakamura's voice also rose. What is Noda doing? Isn't this completely unreasonable?

Unfortunately, Noda had no intention of paying attention to Nakamura Yuri. His eyes had turned red, as if a raging fire was burning in his heart for some reason, and such a fire had to be extinguished through battle.

"Okay, maybe it will make things easier for you if I stay away from Yuri?"

Seeing this, Mo Mo sighed helplessly and released Nakamura Yuri's shoulder. Nakamura Yuri, who had already relied on Mo Mo for some of her strength, was caught off guard and swayed, falling backward onto Mo Mo.

However, she immediately stood up, turned back and glared angrily at Mo Mo, seemingly blaming Mo Mo for deliberately reducing her strength and making her unsteady. Then, Yuri Nakamura shifted her angry gaze to Noda, as if to express her anger to him.

Throughout, Momo held up his hand, trying to prove his innocence. Unfortunately, this gesture clearly did not satisfy Noda; on the contrary, in Noda's eyes, it was blatant boasting.

"Let's duel."

After a few seconds of silence under Yuri Nakamura's angry gaze, Noda uttered those three words, and Yuri Nakamura immediately roared, "Noda, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

Noda wasn't crazy, but unfortunately, he couldn't tell Nakamura Yuri what was on his mind at this moment. Seeing Nakamura Yuri completely trust this newcomer and speak up for him filled Noda with resentment and anger.

Yuri Nakamura... she must have been fooled by this newcomer, absolutely!

As Yuri Nakamura's partner, since Yuri Nakamura herself cannot recognize this, then only he can help her step out of the sweet talk of this newcomer.

"A duel?"

Mo Mo glanced at the large axe in Noda's hand and naturally knew Noda's purpose and motive. Perhaps only Nakamura Yuri, who hadn't considered any of these possibilities, was currently the only one who hadn't clearly seen what was happening.

"That's right, a duel!"

Noda ignored Nakamura Yuri's anger and focused all his attention on Momo, like a ferocious beast that could pounce at any moment.

"There are some things we don't need to discuss. Since you dare to harbor ill intentions towards Yuri, I can't just sit idly by. No matter who you are or what your purpose is, you'll have to get past my axe first!"

As she spoke, she slammed the axe into the ground, sparks flying everywhere. This made Yuri Nakamura's face even uglier. Why did the two sides have to start fighting over a mere disagreement?

Especially now that Nakamura Yuri knows that Mo Mo's combat power is definitely beyond their current capabilities. At least Nakamura Yuri still can't understand Konno Yuuki's swordsmanship just now; such an attack would definitely have instantly chopped the field into pieces, right?

"Noda..."

Yuri Nakamura tried to persuade Noda, but Noda cut her off without hesitation, saying, "Yuri, this is my business now, it has nothing to do with you, don't interfere!"

This ignited Nakamura Yuri's anger. She simply shut her mouth and stared at Noda, intending to wait for him to suffer a great loss. After all, this was the afterlife; no one would die, only suffer excruciating pain, and then Shi'er would be resurrected.
