Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"What surprised me, however, was that you actually admitted it. In fact, if you had denied it to the death, I probably wouldn't have been able to get any more information out of you for the time being."

Mo Mo's doubts were immediately answered by Kaguya Houraisan, who gave a wry smile and said, "Because it's dragged on for too long, we have no choice but to admit it!"

After she finished speaking, Kaguya Houraisan's originally beautiful and captivating body suddenly began to turn ashen, starting from her lower abdomen. The eerie ashen color spread outwards from her navel, growing faster and faster, engulfing Kaguya Houraisan's entire body.

Kaguya Houraisan's face showed a pained expression. She subconsciously reached out to touch her lower abdomen, only to find that the ashen color had even begun to stain her fingers, and then traveled up her fingers, staining her arm.

"what is this?"

Mo Mo stared intently at Kaguya Houraisan's lower abdomen, a sense of extreme danger rising within him. What kind of power could possibly overwhelm even the mighty body of Kaguya Houraisan?

"Don't you pride yourself on being a gentleman? Shouldn't you be here to hug me and comfort me right now? I admit I lied to you before, and I need your help now!"

Kaguya Houraisan's voice was already off-key; she uttered those words through gritted teeth and a hoarse voice. Hearing this, Mo Mo was silent for a second, then shook his head helplessly.

"It's a pity, being a gentleman doesn't mean recklessly throwing your life away. Princess Kaguya, I'm glad you admitted you were lying to me just now. But why don't you include that admission with the fact that you're still lying to me now?"

"This power... is it what you swallowed before, intending to use to kill me?"

Mo Mo whispered his guess, and what Kaguya Houraisan left Mo Mo with was a helpless, bitter smile.

"Fine... you win."

055 I just wanted to save people.

As soon as she finished speaking, the grayish-white color rapidly spread to Kaguya Houraisan's entire body, even completely infecting her mouth, nose, and head.

Before Mo Mo could react, Kaguya Houraisan had already turned into a gray-white stone sculpture. The sculpture's features were contorted in pain, and its lifelike face was filled with loss and helplessness, making it a heartbreaking sight.

Moreover, the grayish-white stone carving appears to have endured hundreds of millions of years, weathered by time. As a result of this erosion, the stone carving can no longer maintain its shape and begins to crumble into grains of sand, detaching from the stone.

One grain, two grains... hundreds and thousands, tens of thousands.

The rate of disintegration increased rapidly, and the quantity of disintegration grew larger and larger. In just over ten seconds, the statue transformed from Kaguya of Houraisan had turned into a pile of fine sand on the ground.

Kaguya Houraisan vanished, completely vanished. It was as if all her power had been used up, causing time, which had been frozen in her life, to begin flowing again.

What kind of power is this that even the people of Penglai cannot resist?

And, most importantly, is Kaguya Houraisan really dead?

Mo Mo's expression turned serious and grim. The current developments had exceeded Mo Mo's comprehension. After all, the power of Kaguya Houraisan was clearly no longer related to science, even though Kaguya Houraisan was born in the Lunar Capital, a place within a scientific system.

This is also what Momo is most worried about this time in Gensokyo: although Momo's power on the scientific side is already quite strong, will such power be effective when it collides with the various strange power systems and abilities in Gensokyo?

The worst possible outcome was that the power of science was rendered useless by the power of Gensokyo, and Momo was unable to even solve the initial difficulties.

This possibility cannot be ruled out, but Momo does not believe it will happen. After all, there are also beings in Gensokyo who make a living through scientific power, and they have their own place in Gensokyo, which is enough to explain the situation.

However, seeing Kaguya Houraisan die and disappear before Momo's eyes, turning into a pile of fine sand, it seems that the worst-case scenario has already occurred.

"Father... Kaguya Houraisan's life force has completely disappeared; there's absolutely no trace of her. Could it be that she's really dead?"

Yui's voice carried a hint of unease, not because she was saddened by Kaguya Houraisan's death. After all, Kaguya Houraisan was no longer everyone's partner at this point; she was at most a prospective mother figure to them.

Yui had the same concern as Momo: Could it be that the Gensokyo that Momo was facing was filled with this kind of power that Momo couldn't understand?

"No, she's not dead yet."

Mo Mo's brows relaxed slightly, and a look of relief appeared on his face. He said, "At least the power belonging to the people of Penglai has not disappeared. However, at this moment, only this power is left to sustain Kaguya of Penglai Mountain."

As she spoke, Mo Mo pointed to the sand on the ground. The seemingly still sand, if magnified countless times, would reveal that all the sand grains were trembling, trembling at the same frequency, as if these sand grains were under unified command.

However, some force eliminated the energy of these sands, preventing them from having enough power to do anything according to this command, causing the sand to pile up and look no different from ordinary sand.

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the power that nearly killed Kaguya Houraisan should be inside this pile of sand."

After saying that, Mo Mo got up from the bed and said, "I need to save her."

Upon hearing this, Yui immediately objected, shouting, "Dad, no, you can't do that!"

"As you've seen, even the people of Penglai couldn't withstand this destructive power, let alone you, Father. Although I am Code, my regenerative abilities are far inferior to those of the people of Penglai!"

"We don't know what kind of power this is, we can't act rashly! Dad, I won't allow you to touch this sand!"

As she spoke, Yui's illusory body reappeared before Mo Mo's eyes, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she were recalling Mo Mo's several near-death experiences.

As a daughter, as Mo Mo's most beloved, and as his future wife and the most caring person by his side, Yui would never allow Mo Mo to take such a risk again!

This is the perseverance that Yui showed at this moment.

"oops!"

Unfortunately, Yui's persistence earned her a chop to the neck from Momo, who said, "Don't tell me you didn't see it!"

"I know you're unhappy with Kaguya Houraisan's actions just now; after all, her intention to kill me was genuine. However, misunderstandings are inevitable. It's precisely because she misunderstood me that I want to clear things up so we can truly understand each other, isn't that right?"

"Waaah—"

Yui sobbed twice, but seeing Mo Mo's resolute gaze, she didn't say anything more. She said, "Since Daddy has made up his mind, then let's handle it according to Daddy's decision. But let me make this clear beforehand, Daddy, no matter who it is, if they dare to hurt you again, Yui will definitely be the first to strike!"

"What happened to Misaka's mother will absolutely not be allowed to happen again!"

Even if her father wants a hatchet in the future, she, as his daughter, will have to make the hatchet herself after successfully seducing him!

"Okay, don't worry. I'm a delicate businesswoman, I would never do something like risking my life, it hurts too much!"

After saying that, Momo looked at the rhythmic sand on the ground again. The rhythmic frequency of the sand gradually slowed down from the edges to the center, which meant that the source of power that turned Kaguya of Hourai Mountain into sand was right in the center of the sand.

Next, Momo will go to save Kaguya Houraisan. The method to save Kaguya Houraisan is simple: separate the sand from the power that destroyed Kaguya Houraisan's body.

As for how to do it, Momo certainly wouldn't use his hands. At least for now, this power seems sufficient to destroy all living beings. Kaguya Houraisan also intends to use this power to destroy Momo.

Tsk... What a vicious woman. Mo Mo decided that she would definitely teach her a lesson in the future and make her understand the consequences of targeting Mo Mo, scheming against Mo Mo, and even trying to kill Mo Mo today.

If we can't use our hands, then what should we use?

Quantum light?

No, quantum light is also an ambiguous and unclear force. Momo cannot guarantee that the force that killed Kaguya Houraisan will not affect quantum light.

As for what Momo will use, the answer is simple: the location of the sand speaks for itself.

Sand on the wooden floor.

If the floor is intact, it means that the force has no effect on the wooden floor.

At this moment, the wooden floor here seems to possess a spirit, as if it has gained invincibility.

As for whether this force is ineffective only on the wooden floorboards in Kaguya Houraisan and Mokou Fujiwara's house, or on inanimate matter, or on data-based matter in the afterlife, Momo has no idea.

Anyway, Momo can just remove the floorboards now!

Momo used quantum light to remove a long wooden plank from the corner and held it in his hand, then slowly pushed the sand in the sand pile to one side.

Once the sand left the sand pile, it immediately became active. Under the influence of some force, the invisible sand began to recombine and coalesce, transforming into the stone statue of Kaguya of Mount Hourai.

As Momo stirred more and more sand, the statue of Kaguya Houraisan became more and more complete. Finally, Momo pulled a small, pill-like gray stone sphere from the sand pile.

This small stone ball was clearly the culprit that caused Kaguya of Hourai Mountain to die and turn into sand in an instant.

Once it left the small stone ball, all the sand flew up and into the stone statue of Kaguya on Mount Hourai, completely completing the statue.

The lifelike statue reappeared, and surprisingly, its expression had changed. Previously, the statue displayed an expression of pain and loss, but now it wore a serene sleeping face, as peaceful as a baby's.

Then, a faint charm emanated from the statue, giving Momo the feeling that the statue seemed to come alive.

And that is indeed the case. Momo's quantum light entered and exited the stone statue from the inside and outside, and one could feel the statue's material gradually changing from stone to organic matter.

This is a marvelous process, but unfortunately, Momo can only observe it and cannot obtain any useful information for the time being, since Momo's quantum light has not yet reached that level.

"Alright, it seems there are no problems for now."

Momo glanced at the unremarkable, harmless grayish-white stone sphere on the ground, then focused his attention on Kaguya Houraisan, who was gradually coming back to life.

Then, Momo lay back down on the bed. Then, using quantum light, she also moved Kaguya Houraisan onto the bed, placing the stone Kaguya Houraisan beside her.

As for why we did this...

Of course, it's to fulfill Kaguya Houraisan's wish!

You see, from the very beginning, Kaguya Houraisan came here today to raid Momo at night. She was even willing to become Momo's brother in order to satisfy her imagined fetishes about Momo.

With such feelings, such sincerity, and such actions, how could Mo Mo not be moved? How could Mo Mo refuse?

If Momo were to refuse, it would be a desecration of Kaguya Houraisan's charm and an injury to her. As a responsible gentleman, Momo decided to accept Kaguya Houraisan's sincere feelings!

"Dad, Dad, what that old gentleman just said didn't seem to be true. And if Yui remembers correctly, what he said was the exact opposite of what he's thinking now!"

"Ahem, Yui, children need to go to bed early and get up early to grow properly. Hurry up and go back to the Heroic Spirit."

Mo Mo reached out and stroked the still-cold stone sculpture, saying, "Besides, times have changed!"

"I intend to warm the petrified Kaguya Houraisan with my body, to melt the ice on her body with my love. This is to save her!"

056 Medical Master Mo Mo

Let's warm Yui's heart with Dad's body!

This was Yui's thought, but it was just a thought; Yui didn't say it aloud.

"Alright, Dad is confident anyway. It seems this mysterious thing has greatly damaged Kaguya of Houraisan, significantly reducing her recovery ability as an Hourai native."

At this moment, Kaguya Houraisan's transformation from stone to a normal body was very slow, even slower than Momo's Code power. This was clearly not the power the Hourai Elixir should have, and this was the reason for the result.

At the same time, it seemed that because of Kaguya Houraisan's recent death, the eternal power she had placed on Momo had also disappeared. Momo's body had returned to normal, and listening to her own strong and powerful heartbeat, Momo never wanted to experience the feeling of her heart beating once every hundred seconds again.

This is also abnormal.

Kaguya Houraisan's power was considerable, and it shouldn't have vanished so easily. Therefore, Momo could only conclude that it was due to the severity of her initial attack.

"But Daddy, you must remember, you absolutely cannot take any more risks. Yui will be watching Daddy all the time, no matter what Daddy does, Yui will always be watching Daddy!"

After saying those words that sent chills down Mo Mo's spine, Yui's main consciousness returned to the Hall of Heroes. Mo Mo, meanwhile, was pondering why Yui's words had given him such a chilling feeling.

Hmm...it must be my imagination, right?

Must be!

After seeing Yui off, Momo reached out and gently stroked the surface of the stone statue of Kaguya Houraisan. At this moment, Kaguya Houraisan was still a stone statue, and it felt cool to the touch.

However, with each gentle touch from Momo, the originally rough stone seemed to become smooth, and its hardness gradually decreased.

Just like how roadside statues, after being kindly visited by passersby, often have certain parts that become particularly pale or even lose their color entirely.
