Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Now, Momo has not broken the deal. On the contrary, Fujiwara no Mokou is asking Momo to tell the truth in advance, which is already a request for payment in advance.

Ignoring Fujiwara no Mokou's angry glare, Mo Mo continued, "What Kaguya said is enough to prove that Kaguya has not lost her memory. Moreover, because of the ability she possesses, I can be sure that it's not as simple as her memory being restored."

"She must have entered the afterlife with her memories intact, pretending to have amnesia while with you, and spent a long time with you here. At the same time, I can tell you that Kaguya knows your past and your life perfectly well, but she has no intention of telling you anything."

The more Momo spoke, the uglier Fujiwara no Mokou's face became, and Momo's last sentence hit the nail on the head.

"Mokou, have you noticed anything about all of this? Have you discovered any clues? Do you have any thoughts about it?"

Fujiwara no Mokou suppressed her hostility towards Momo and instead looked at Houraisan Kaguya with a complex expression. Seeing this, Houraisan Kaguya returned Fujiwara no Mokou's gaze with a big smile, then hugged her waist and said, "Mom, your daughter loves you!"

Fujiwara no Mokou's expression softened slightly because of Kaguya Houraisan's actions, and she managed a smile, saying, "So, Mo-ge, can you tell me, what is my relationship with Kaguya like in that place called Gensokyo?"

"This..."

Mo Mo hesitated for a second, then raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Guess?"

Fujiwara no Mokou snorted, too lazy to argue with Mo Mo, and said, "I know even if you don't say it, Kaguya and I are definitely good friends, and the kind with a very deep bond."

Mo Mo pinched her chin, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with Fujiwara no Mokou's words. In order to let their relationship develop naturally, Mo Mo had already made up her mind not to tell Fujiwara no Mokou the truth about their relationship.

Moreover, Fujiwara no Mokou is quite right. The two are indeed friends who fight and kill each other, and their bond has been intertwined for over a thousand years, which is truly very deep.

“I think,” Fujiwara no Mokou hesitated for a moment before finally stating her guess, “Kaguya may have entered this afterlife for my sake, to protect me and take care of me.”

063 Momo, I'm not your brother anymore!

Fujiwara no Mokou finally began to reveal her own secret—the secret between her and Houraisan Kaguya. Although she considered this secret merely speculation, she was now determined to uncover the truth and find out what had happened to Houraisan Kaguya, disregarding her own hesitation.

“I already told you,” Fujiwara no Mokou continued, “Kaguya and I came into this world at the same time. At first, I thought it was a coincidence, and that it was fate between Kaguya and me.”

"Especially after seeing Kaguya so out of place in this world, I became even more worried about her, which is why I started taking care of her and that's how our relationship developed."

Fujiwara no Mokou's expression gradually became uneasy. She said, "On the surface, this is indeed the case. There is no problem at all. Originally, I would not have noticed any problem, as long as Kaguya had even the slightest intention to hide it."

“Look,” Fujiwara no Mokou pointed to her nose, “it sounds a bit self-deprecating to say this, but I’m definitely not the kind of person who’s intelligent. Putting aside everything else, today I was completely outmaneuvered by you, Mo-ge, and had no chance to fight back.”

Fujiwara no Mokou's tone held no resentment towards Mo Mo; instead, it carried a hint of detached understanding. To understand one's own weaknesses and still be able to accept everything so calmly—this was clearly not the magnanimity of an ordinary person.

Although she has become a person in the afterlife and forgotten all her previous memories, it is clear that many things are still etched into Fujiwara no Mokou's bones in a non-memory form.

“But,” Fujiwara no Mokou pursed her lips and said, “Kaguya has an indecisive attitude.”

"Indecisive?"

Mo Mo was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Fujiwara no Mokou to use this word. Could Kaguya Houraisan be associated with the word "indecisive" in any way?

Kaguya Houraisan has lived for countless years; she's a wise and shrewd person. Although she may appear to be a NEET (Not in Education, Emerald, or Training) moon princess, anyone who underestimates her wisdom will surely meet a bad end.

Besides, if Kaguya can't handle it herself, she still has her aunt-like mentor, Yagokoro Eirin.

"That's right, indecisive."

Fujiwara no Mokou, however, was certain of her words, saying, "If she wanted to hide everything, I would never have found out. On the contrary, if she wanted to tell me everything, I couldn't possibly not believe her."

"But she always seemed hesitant to speak while standing next to me, as if she had a lot to tell me but didn't dare to or wanted to say it. In the end, she seemed unable to bear the pain of keeping a secret."

At this point, Fujiwara no Mokou looked annoyed at Kaguya Houraisan for being so spineless, saying, "What's the matter? If you want to tell me, just tell me. If you don't want to tell me, then just keep it from me. No matter what, we'll always be best friends. Why do we have to maintain this awkward dynamic?"

"This puts me in an awkward position. I don't know whether I should stay in the dark and pretend I haven't discovered her secret, or go along with her occasional whims and expose her secret."

Fujiwara no Mokou's anger lasted only a second before her face darkened, and she muttered, "That's good. I don't need to think about it anymore. Since Kaguya has become like this, I don't have to choose between the two of us."

Is there anything else strange about Kaguya?

Momo continued to press for answers, but he didn't get much directly valuable information from Fujiwara no Mokou's words. This didn't surprise him, after all, Fujiwara no Mokou was a pitiful person who had completely lost her memory.

However, from Fujiwara no Mokou's description of the situation, Momo sensed Kaguya Houraisan's worry and unease, even a sense of guilt and responsibility. All of this created immense pressure, causing even someone as powerful as Kaguya Houraisan to waver.

Considering the previous incident where Kaguya Houraisan suddenly attacked Mo Mo's side, Mo Mo could understand Kaguya Houraisan's actions.

It's possible that Kaguya Houraisan mistook Momo for an enemy, and one of the major reasons that caused her to waver. Furthermore, believing that Momo intended to harm Fujiwara no Mokou, and driven by her desire to protect her, she directly attacked Momo, even using her own body and chastity as bait, unleashing a powerful force that even she couldn't control.

Or rather, the power of self-destruction.

"I can only sense a little bit."

Fujiwara no Mokou answered Mo Mo's question with great certainty, saying, "Although I have no basis for it, I think Kaguya's resurrection is different from my resurrection and the resurrection of everyone in the afterlife."

"I may not be able to say the specifics, but the way she was resurrected, the speed of her resurrection, and... some details of her death, all make me feel that there is another force supporting her resurrection."

As she spoke, Fujiwara no Mokou looked at Mo Mo nervously and said, "Is this information useful? I really don't know anything else."

Mo Mo smiled slightly, as a consolation to Fujiwara no Mokou, and said, "Very useful."

This comforting remark wasn't a complete solace, but rather it made Momo even more certain of his guess.

Mo Mo looked at Kaguya Houraisan, who was standing between him and Fujiwara no Mokou. Kaguya was looking at Mo Mo and Fujiwara no Mokou at the same time, with a confused expression on her face. She was obviously not able to keep up with the complicated discussion between Mo Mo and Fujiwara no Mokou.

"If I'm not mistaken, our beloved daughter Kaguya is still a Hourai person. However, there's been a problem with the Hourai people's power. I just don't know if it's this little stone ball causing the problem, or if there's something wrong with her own power."

"Unfortunately, I can't prove that now. If Kaguya's Hourai body is still unstable, we still need to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt."

"People from Penglai?"

Fujiwara no Mokou was full of questions and asked, "What is that? Some kind of race?"

"Hōrai people, Kaguya is from Hōrai! Mom and Dad are from Hōrai too, we are all from Hōrai!"

This time, Kaguya Houraisan understood part of what was being said. She excitedly raised her hand and shouted, then hugged Fujiwara no Mokou again, saying, "Mommy, Mommy, Kaguya is from Hourai, and Mommy is from Hourai too!"

Fujiwara no Mokou was both amused and exasperated. She said, "Stop fooling around, Kaguya. Right now, I... I'm talking to your father about something important. Kaguya, be a good girl, a good daughter, and listen quietly, okay? In a little while, Mom will give you a reward!"

"Hmm... alright, Kaguya is a quiet and good girl!"

Clearly, Fujiwara no Mokou's self-identification as "mother" greatly enhanced her persuasiveness towards Houraisan Kaguya. Indeed, Houraisan Kaguya kept her mouth tightly shut and nervously watched Fujiwara no Mokou, seemingly trying to prove that she had remained quiet.

Seeing this, Fujiwara no Mokou breathed a sigh of relief. Although Kaguya Houraisan was a headache, in some ways she was easier to deal with.

All I need to do is be her mother.

However, when Fujiwara no Mokou looked up, intending to continue gathering information from Momo, she saw Momo's face, which had a half-smile on it.

"Honey, you did a great job! I, the husband, am ashamed of myself!"

Fujiwara no Mokou blushed instantly, her heart pounding wildly. How could she not understand what Mo Mo was laughing at? It was obvious he was mocking her for calling herself Kaguya Houraisan's mother.

On one side is Kaguya Houraisan's father, and on the other side is Kaguya Houraisan's mother. Right now, she is wearing a wedding ring on her ring finger, given by Mo Mo. So what exactly is her relationship with Mo Mo?

brother?

Even if Momo repeated the bond of brotherhood a hundred thousand times to Fujiwara no Mokou now, she wouldn't believe him. She was convinced that Momo was genuinely interested in her, and in Fujiwara no Mokou as a girl.

Although Mo Mo tried to get close to him by being his brother, which was so absurd that he had no choice but to accept it, it also proved Mo Mo's desire for him as a girl.

Momo, that guy...

Fujiwara no Mokou felt her face getting redder and redder. Damn it, what should she do if this strange mood and atmosphere continued?

"Wow, he really is my brother, trustworthy!"

Mo Mo, however, instantly ruined the gradually rising romantic atmosphere by casually patting Fujiwara no Mokou's shoulder, making Fujiwara no Mokou feel as if she had her throat stuck and couldn't speak.

"Alright," Momo summarized, "I understand the situation pretty well now. As for what happens next, Mokou, could you please take good care of our precious daughter Kaguya? Right now, it's not certain that she can be fully resurrected."

"Leave the rest to me. As I promised, I will take control of this world, uncover its truth, and then restore your memories, and even give you a completely new life."

After saying that, Momo winked at Fujiwara no Mokou and was about to stand up and leave the room. After all, it was definitely not appropriate for Momo to stay here any longer; was she really going to share a bed with Fujiwara no Mokou and Houraisan Kaguya?

Hmm... It's not a big deal for parents to sleep with their daughter, it's perfectly normal!

However, Fujiwara no Mokou, noticing Mo Mo's actions, inexplicably reached out and grabbed Mo Mo's arm, pulling her back onto the bed.

Mo Mo was slightly taken aback and asked, "What's wrong, Mo Hong? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Fujiwara no Mokou slowly shook her head, her expression quite strange at this moment. Excitement was mixed with hesitation, and resolve was accompanied by a touch of shyness and unease.

"Mo Mo".

Fujiwara no Mokou spoke slowly, saying, "What if... I don't want to be your brother anymore?"

064 Hurry up and give me a quick death.

"You don't want to be my brother anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Mo looked at Fujiwara no Mokou in surprise. Seeing the serious and determined expression on her face, he knew that Fujiwara no Mokou was clearly not just talking.

Fujiwara no Mokou is serious.

However, what did Fujiwara no Mokou mean when she suddenly said those words, and how can we make people understand what she meant?

Could it be that Fujiwara no Mokou has completely lost faith in her older brother Momo and wants to sever this precious brotherhood with him?

Is the brotherhood between the two men, which lasted only such a short time, already unable to withstand the test of time and about to fall apart under the cruel reality?

This was undoubtedly a cruel reality, and this cruel reality immediately changed Mo Mo's expression, adding a touch of heartbreaking sorrow to her eyes.

"As expected, Mokou, I still don't have a chance to become your good brother?"

Fujiwara no Mokou nodded subconsciously, but then she realized that Mo Mo's words were not what she had thought or what he wanted to express!

She did say repeatedly that she didn't want to be Mo Mo's brother anymore, but that doesn't mean Mo Mo wasn't qualified to be her brother.

From the very beginning, the brotherly bond between the two was nothing more than a playful joke in Fujiwara no Mokou's eyes, a little trick Momo used to get closer to her.

Right now, what Fujiwara no Mokou needs to do is to peel back this little layer of disguise, expose Momo's true purpose, and then have a sincere talk between the two of them.

Fujiwara no Mokou wasn't angry because of Mo Mo's intentions, but rather because, in her view, now that both sides were aware of each other's intentions, they could be more open and aboveboard.

Although Fujiwara no Mokou was indeed a bit of a tomboy, she wouldn't actually want to be like a man who only wants brothers and not love! Besides, who would pursue a girl like Mo Mo? It's just that Fujiwara no Mokou is kind-hearted and didn't get angry with Mo Mo for it.

This does not mean that Fujiwara no Mokou would agree to Momo's request so directly, but is merely an attempt by Fujiwara no Mokou to have more direct contact and communication with Momo and to try to improve their relationship.

After all, at this point, from any perspective, having the opportunity to communicate or even interact with Momo is absolutely the best and most suitable choice. Moreover, Fujiwara no Mokou now has Kaguya Houraisan by her side, someone she absolutely needs to take care of and save.

To accomplish all this, Fujiwara no Mokou believed she needed to rely on Momo's power.

Although it may seem somewhat pragmatic, it's the right choice, isn't it?

But now, these seemingly correct ideas and methods appear to have instantly jeopardized the relationship between Fujiwara no Mokou and Momo. Momo has clearly misunderstood Fujiwara no Mokou's intentions, causing Fujiwara no Mokou to panic instantly.

"No, that's not it, that's not what I meant!"

Fujiwara no Mokou quickly explained to Mo Mo that she didn't want to misunderstand him at this moment, let alone let a small misunderstanding cause tension or even a complete break in their relationship.
