Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Kanade Tachibana is not an angel, nor is Momo a god or an apostle, yet she possesses the power of the floating warships in the sky, as well as the power to revive everyone and allow them to continue their new lives.

This was still too hard for Nakamura Yuri's companions to believe, since the reason why Nakamura Yuri completely trusted Momo was because the transaction between Momo and Nakamura Yuri was guaranteed by the power of the transaction.

Therefore, Yuri Nakamura's companions couldn't help but begin to doubt everything and wonder where things had gone wrong.

Clearly, in their eyes, Mo Mo was definitely not an ordinary person, and whether he was even human was still under investigation. After all, Mo Mo possessed the power of a floating warship in the sky, could freely enter this world, and even declared that he could control the deaths of everyone.

At the same time, Momo, who controls so much power, does not admit that he is a god, not an apostle or servant of God. This statement is completely contradictory within the scope of ordinary people's understanding. How can people believe all of this?

Finally, using their rather dim-witted, practically dumb, minds, everyone came to a conclusion.

Either Yuri Nakamura was deceived and completely fooled by Mo Mo, or she was controlled by Mo Mo and obeyed his every word.

This reason not only aligns with the power Momo is currently displaying, but also makes Nakamura Yuri's trust in Momo reasonable, and at the same time gives everyone a reason to act.

Regardless of whether Momo deceived or controlled Nakamura Yuri, such actions must be punished. Therefore, the members of the SSS group, with everyone's unanimous agreement, gathered to prepare for Momo's attack.

On one hand, it was to verify just how powerful Momo's strength truly was. On the other hand, it was also to verify what Momo had done to Nakamura Yuri.

"I understand, but who is in charge of all this? Could it be... Sakuya?"

069 The Deadly Trap Before Dawn

Originally, Yuri Nakamura was not at ease even after learning the truth. When she found out that the mastermind behind it all was Sakuya Izayoi, her face showed an expression of utter despair.

"How could we let her do it? Hey, Sanae, you guys know, right? You know that once she unleashes her chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tendencies, she'll be a terrifying demon!"

Sanae Kochiya shook her head helplessly and said, "Demon and such, that's too much! Sakuya just becomes a little more... aggressive when she's under pressure."

"Look, she's always been fine with us, isn't she? Besides, Sakuya really respects you as her leader. That's why she took on all of this and is fighting to protect you."

Sanae Kochiya tried to comfort Yuri Nakamura, saying, "So, Yuri, we just need to wait for good news. Don't worry, Sakuya is still careful and won't really hurt that person named Momo."

"There's no good news coming!"

Yuri Nakamura's face was filled with despair as she said, "I'm not worried that Sakuya will hurt Momo. I'm just worried that all of this will really enrage Momo, and then we won't even have any hope of escaping from this world."

"No way, Sakuya is really amazing, and she even has everyone's help."

"No matter how powerful it is, can it withstand a single attack from that behemoth in the sky?"

Sanae Kochiya looked up at the enormous man-made structure in the sky, a hint of longing seeming to flicker in her eyes. However, she suppressed this longing and asked, "That... is it really that amazing?"

"Absolutely powerful, it could destroy the entire academy in one strike!"

Yuri Nakamura spoke with great confidence, but in reality she knew very little about the floating airships. The reason she said this was, to put it bluntly, that she was trying to trick Sanae Kochiya into untying her so that she could rush to stop everything and perhaps prevent Momo from getting completely angry.

"So, Sanae, what... is that?"

Yuri Nakamura was racking her brains trying to persuade Sanae Kochiya, when suddenly a dark shadow flashed through the gaps in the dark forest.

The same person who witnessed this was Superficial Sister. As an assassin from ancient Japan, she had clearly undergone special training in nighttime ambushes and battles. Without any hesitation, she reached for the small katana at her waist and plunged into the darkness.

Neither Yuri Nakamura nor Sanae Kochiya stopped her. It was well known that Yuri was a formidable fighter; before Sakuya Izayoi arrived, she was the mainstay of the SSS team's fighting strength. It was naturally most appropriate for her to be the one to take action at this time.

But this time, it seems that Yuri Nakamura and Sanae Kochiya guessed wrong. After the girl rushed into the darkness, the first thing that came out was her panicked scream.

"What is this... Ah!"

……

"Hey, Sakuya, Sakuya, did you hear me? This is the artillery battalion commander. When may we launch our attack?"

A cheerful and excited female voice came through the walkie-talkie in Izayoi Sakuya's hand. She was already familiar with the voice, and said seriously, "Wait for orders."

"Ugh?"

Unfortunately, the female voice showed no awareness of seriousness whatsoever in the face of Izayoi Sakuya's seriousness, and paid no attention to Izayoi Sakuya's serious tone.

"But how long are we going to wait here? It's so boring! There are such amazing big guys right here, why can't we just give those guys a good shot?"

"Since no one's going to die anyway, let's just treat it like a game!"

Then, the sound of machinery oscillating came from the walkie-talkie, causing Izayoi Sakuya to narrow her eyes, a dangerous smile appearing in her red eyes.

"Marisa, I'm in power mode right now. Are you sure you want to ignore me and just keep firing off your cannons?"

The soft voice on the walkie-talkie abruptly stopped, and one could almost imagine the figure of a girl somewhere, her body stiff and her movements abruptly halted. Then, the girl Sakuya called Marisa laughed and said, "As expected, haha, Sakuya, you're the one who calls the shots."

"Fine, I'll just have to wait for your assertive mode, Sakuya. Oh dear, I didn't expect you to actually get angry, Sakuya. Is that Mo Mo really that bad? I just woke up not long ago and don't know anything yet!"

"You don't need to know too much. Just seize the opportunity and attack. As for what he did to Ms. Yuri..."

Sakuya Izayoi began to act, emerging from the shadows of the woods and stepping into the dim light of the streetlamp. Facing the petite, silver-haired girl standing quietly at the villa's entrance, she deftly manipulated several small daggers between her hands.

"I will make him explain it clearly, word by word, in front of Ms. Yuri."

"How dare you make a move on Miss Yuri? Did you not ask for my permission, your servant?"

After saying that, Izayoi Sakuya suddenly started running, her scarlet eyes drawing two red lines in the night, rushing straight towards Tachibana Kanade. However, what reached Tachibana Kanade first were two daggers that silently shot towards him.

If it were an ordinary person, seeing a dagger suddenly emerge from the darkness, they would be so panicked that they wouldn't have time to react and would be stabbed in the face by two daggers.

However, it was Tachibana Kanade who was facing the two daggers at this moment.

Tachibana Kanade's lips moved, and the sonic blades appeared in her hands. Then, the two sonic blades drew smooth arcs, and in the blink of an eye, knocked the two daggers away.

Kanade Tachibana, formerly the student council president, possesses the power to use AP (Action Power), making her exceptionally strong and beyond the scope of ordinary people. Furthermore, it's clear that this isn't the first time Kanade and Sakuya Izayoi have clashed; they are quite familiar with each other.

Finally, and most importantly, Tachibana Kanade, though seemingly unchanged from before, has actually become a Heroic Spirit on Momo's side, possessing immense power.

Izayoi Sakuya was unaware that she, who was originally able to be evenly matched with Tachibana Kanade, and even able to steadily suppress Tachibana Kanade when Tachibana could not play any other moves, had now been far surpassed by Tachibana Kanade.

Kanade Tachibana easily knocked away Sakuya Izayoi's dagger. Sakuya Izayoi was not surprised at all, after all, her opponent was an angel with power different from that of mortals.

Izayoi Sakuya, on the other hand, showed no fear whatsoever, as she also possessed near-human limits of athletic ability. In fact, when she entered this dominant mode, Izayoi Sakuya felt that she might have surpassed the limits of humanity.

Everything around her seemed to slow down in her eyes; she could easily control everything around her and then defeat enemies in slow motion.

In almost a single breath, Izayoi Sakuya charged towards Tachibana Kanade. Facing Tachibana Kanade, who possessed angelic power, all Izayoi Sakuya could do was unleash a storm of attacks with her combat skills, which she didn't know where they came from, to suppress Tachibana Kanade.

The two small daggers in her hands became a storm enveloping Tachibana Kanade under her attack. Moreover, Izayoi Sakuya's powerful control ability made the collision between the daggers and Tachibana Kanade's sonic blades so light that it was almost negligible, which also ensured that she would not lose the daggers in her hands due to Tachibana Kanade's sonic blades.

"There's no point in doing this."

Tachibana Kanade frowned slightly. She had never liked this kind of battle in the first place. Her previous battles with the SSS group were only for self-defense.

Especially now that she has become a Heroic Spirit and personally confirmed Momo's power, knowing that Momo can save everyone, she hopes even more to end all of this in a more peaceful way, rather than turning against SSS-rank members like Izayoi Sakuya.

Especially Sakuya Izayoi, who has such great power, should use it to protect everyone instead of wasting it uselessly.

"It's meaningless?"

Unfortunately, Tachibana Kanade's simple words failed to convey her feelings. Izayoi Sakuya, now in a domineering mode with her red eyes, smiled faintly and said, "So, powerful angel, you no longer take me seriously? This is really troubling me!"

With that, she casually flicked her wrist, and the two daggers in Izayoi Sakuya's hand flew towards Tachibana Kanade's face again. Tachibana Kanade used the same trick again and easily knocked the two daggers away.

But this time, after doing all that, Tachibana Kanade's expression changed, and she looked at Izayoi Sakuya in surprise.

Two revolvers appeared in Izayoi Sakuya's hands, their muzzles aimed directly at Tachibana Kanade.

Sakuya Izayoi actually used a gun?

Before this, Tachibana Kanade had fought Izayoi Sakuya many times, and Izayoi Sakuya was a complete martial arts fighter. Even though she knew that using a gun could greatly increase her combat power, she never did it.

On this point, Izayoi Sakuya was even more persistent than Noda. At least Noda knew that when facing Tachibana Kanade, firearms were more effective than the great axe in his hand.

Surprised, Tachibana Kanade was about to ask a question, but Izayoi Sakuya gave her no chance. Calmly and decisively, she pulled the trigger, and bullets flew out one by one, heading towards Tachibana Kanade's vitals.

Indeed, as Tachibana Kanade knew, Izayoi Sakuya never used a gun. However, what Tachibana Kanade didn't know, and even what no one else in the SSS group knew, was that Izayoi Sakuya's so-called obsession with daggers was more of a personal conviction.

In other words, if Izayoi Sakuya gives up this insistence, then she will naturally pick up a gun.

For example, right now.

Upon learning that Yuri Nakamura might be controlled or even harmed, Sakuya Izayoi's resolve crumbled instantly. At that moment, in her eyes, any means to defeat Kanade Tachibana and bring Yuri Nakamura safety and victory were the means to succeed.

As for her own persistence... it's nothing at all. After all, Izayoi Sakuya has no memories to begin with, and she herself doesn't know what the point of her persistence is.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

A series of gunshots rang out, and Tachibana Kanade's body instantly flashed with a crystalline light. This was a sign that Tachibana Kanade's skill, Distortion, was taking effect, and all the bullets were ejected.

After doing all this, Tachibana Kanade calmly looked at Izayoi Sakuya, while Izayoi Sakuya's mouth was slightly open, clearly extremely surprised.

That series of attacks just now was a small strategy she had devised after careful consideration. After all, she was well aware of the power of angelic skills, and that she couldn't withstand them with her own attack power alone.

Therefore, she attempted to suppress Tachibana Kanade, and then looked for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on him with her revolver. After all, although Tachibana Kanade's skills were powerful, she could only use one skill at a time, and switching skills required verbal commands.

This gives Izayoi Sakuya a chance to succeed. If she can suppress Tachibana Kanade from the start and force him to use his sonic blade, she can then ambush him with a gun.

At this moment, the speed that rivals Tachibana Kanade's ability to change skills by chanting commands is the speed at which bullets fly into Tachibana Kanade's body.

Previously, Izayoi Sakuya believed that no matter how powerful Tachibana Kanade was, once she seized this time difference, the angels would be nothing to fear. But now it was clear that she knew she was wrong.

Kanade Tachibana's skill switching is incredibly fast, to an unbelievable degree. In fact, in Sakuya Izayoi's opinion, this switching speed is even faster than the speed at which Kanade Tachibana verbally gives commands.

How can this be?

Did the angel's skill activate automatically without giving any command?

Izayoi Sakuya didn't understand, but seeing Izayoi Sakuya's surprised expression, Tachibana Kanade's lips curled up slightly with a hint of smugness and pleasure.

Based on her combat skills, Izayoi Sakuya's sneak attack should have succeeded. Even though Tachibana Kanade barely managed to summon a distortion to block the bullets, ensuring that her vital parts weren't hit was already the best-case scenario given the time constraints.

However, now that Tachibana Kanade has become a Heroic Spirit, her brain's thinking speed and nerve reflex speed are many times faster. Just in terms of her current speed, she can completely overwhelm Izayoi Sakuya in front of her, but Izayoi Sakuya is unaware of it.

The only thing Sakuya Izayoi can be thankful for is Tachibana Kanade's personality, which destined her to fight Sakuya Izayoi calmly, rather than fully unleash her power to distort everything.

"You're very strong, but I won't give up so easily!"

Sakuya Izayoi's face darkened considerably, but her eyes grew even more resolute. She simply tossed aside her twin pistols, drew two daggers from her waist again, and charged towards Kanade Tachibana.

"It makes no sense."

Whether it's meaningful or not is not up to you to decide!

With a soft shout, Izayoi Sakuya unleashed another blade storm upon Tachibana Kanade. Helpless, Tachibana Kanade could only restart his Sonic Hand Blade, intending to completely subdue Izayoi Sakuya.

This time, however, Sakuya Izayoi's movements came to an abrupt halt. She then flipped backward, a triumphant glint in her eyes.

"Marisa, now's the time to fire!"
