Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Fujiwara no Mokou's roar woke up Houraisan Kaguya, who was fast asleep. Houraisan Kaguya skillfully crawled onto Fujiwara no Mokou's chest and murmured, "Mama, I'm hungry, I want to eat milk."

"Wow!"

Fujiwara no Mokou immediately screamed, and she and Houraisan Kaguya were locked in a fierce pink battle. Everyone on the side watched in astonishment, since apart from Nakamura Yuri, no one on Izayoi Sakuya's side knew what was wrong with Houraisan Kaguya.

"Hi, let's get back to the main topic."

Konno Yuuki clapped his hands and said, "Then I'll just get straight to the point. You all have one thing in common: you all have amnesia."

“Huh,” Marisa Kirisame said in surprise, “Isn’t amnesia a common thing in the afterlife? A lot of people have amnesia.”

"That's not how it works."

Yuri Nakamura shook her head and said, "Actually, I've also had my doubts about this, because your amnesia is different from others. What we lost was more the reason that allowed us to enter this world, that is, those difficult memories that we can't forget, rather than forgetting everything."

"The simplest example is that if a person forgets everything from the past, he will not even remember his own name, and he may even lose all common sense and the ability to live a normal life."

"When you came to this place, you had completely forgotten everything about your past lives, yet you had no problems in your daily lives and all the knowledge you should have remained. I was puzzled by this for a long time, but as more and more people were in the same situation—that is, all five of you—I stopped thinking about it."

"After all, with a large number of people, it's no longer an exception, so I think this is probably a less common but still rule-abiding situation in the afterlife."

Yuri Nakamura spoke of her past thoughts, but everyone understood her underlying message: she used to think that way, but she doesn't anymore.

"Miss, are you saying... the five of us are special?"

Sakuya Izayoi's eyes began to show a hint of unease. Of the five people named by Yuuki Konno, only Sanae Kochiya was still looking down at her toes. The other four, including Kaguya Houraisan, were looking at Yuri Nakamura with a mournful face as Fujiwara no Mokou twisted her head.

"Yes."

Yuri Nakamura's eyes held a hint of complexity, but she firmly responded to Sakuya Izayoi's question. Now that the issue was being discussed openly, it was no longer a time for her to hesitate.

“I don’t think that way anymore, because I’ve joined Momo’s side and learned a lot about you, including your special circumstances. Although I don’t know why you’re here or how you got here, I’m pretty sure there’s something seriously wrong.”

Yuri Nakamura's words immediately silenced everyone. They were all pondering the weight of her words, and this atmosphere seemed to have even affected Kaguya Houraisan.

"Oh no, what's going on?!"

Marisa Kirisame clutched her head, looking anxious and confused, and said, "Can't you guys just stop beating around the bush? Just tell us directly what's wrong with us, okay?"

Seeing Marisa Kirisame's frantic state, Yuri Nakamura smiled helplessly and stopped being mysterious, saying, "To put it simply, I know about your past lives."

In an instant, Marisa Kirisame, who was grabbing Yuri Nakamura and swaying her in mid-air, also froze. For them, who had lost their memories for so long, the most important thing was their memories of their past lives.

Having no memories of their past lives, even the most cheerful and energetic Marisa Kirisame often wears a bewildered expression. Because these girls are like lost souls who have forgotten everything, unable to find any sense of belonging.

“Based on your experiences in life, you shouldn’t have been here, or even in this world,” Yuri Nakamura continued. “No, in fact… you shouldn’t have died, because you each possessed your own powerful abilities.”

As she spoke, Yuri Nakamura glanced at Kaguya Houraisan and Mokou Fujiwara. Although it was just a casual glance, it made Mokou's heart jump.

"Shouldn't have died..." Could it be referring to Fujiwara no Mokou?

"Of course, if that's all there is to it, then so be it. After all, you're already dead, and the cause of your death is no longer important. If joining Momo's side would simply give you a chance to be reborn, I would absolutely give it my all."

"However, there is still one problem that cannot be avoided..."

Yuri Nakamura looked at Yuuki Konno, who smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Yuri. I'll take over now."

Konno Yuuki took everyone's gaze and said, "If you all join us, your big brother can give you a new life and let you know about your past lives."

"However, this only applies to most things. As for how you died, what happened to you before you died, and who caused your deaths, unfortunately, we are afraid we cannot tell you."

After all, all Momo knows is the story of Gensokyo, but the Gensokyo in the anime world has definitely undergone great changes, and may even be unrecognizable now.

"Of course, I think even so, you would still want to join us, right?"

Upon hearing this, Fujiwara no Mokou immediately nodded and said, "Isn't that just common sense? Knowing most things is enough. It's much better than not knowing anything at all, like I just appeared out of thin air, right?"

Fujiwara no Mokou's words were met with approval from everyone. Konno no Wataru also nodded and said, "But... if that's all there is to it, big brother wouldn't hesitate to let you join us. After all, you are all outstanding talents that big brother greatly admires."

"And the problem that my older brother is most worried about..."

Konno Yuuki glanced at everyone, sighed, and said, "Should we say it's fate, or destiny?"

"Let me put it this way, what I can tell you now is that you all knew each other when you were alive, and you had different kinds of relationships with each other. And the nature of those relationships is completely different from the relationship you have with each other now."

When Konno Yuuki said this, the girls from Gensokyo looked at each other, seemingly understanding something.

"For example, you may be friends now, but what if your relationship was not one of friendship before you were alive, or even worse? Also, what you value and uphold now may be completely different from what you valued and upheld before you were alive?"

"Have you ever thought about what you would do if, once you regain some of your memories from before you died, there were to be conflicts between the events of your past life and the events of your afterlife?"

"Especially... what about irreconcilable conflicts?"

Konno Yuuki's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on everyone's hearts, causing the few who were eager to join Momo and gain a new life and memories of their past lives to begin to calm down and think about what Konno Yuuki had said.

Regaining memories of one's past life is a good thing, but if those memories are used to overturn everything in front of you, then do they still have such high value?

Which is more important: the unknown things we will never know before we die, or everything we cherish in the present moment?

Is it better to abandon the present for the sake of the past, or to abandon the past for the sake of the present?

At this moment, everyone finally understood what the trouble Konno Yuuki was talking about really meant.

This... seems to be a truly troublesome and headache-inducing problem. Moreover, the problem lies with all of them, not with Mo Mo's unwillingness to accept them.

"I……"

Sakuya Izayoi opened her mouth to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Yasuyuki Konno, who said, "Ah, don't rush to answer me. Come on, let me show you a treasure. Big brother is about to make his move!"

As she spoke, Konno Yuuki beckoned to everyone, causing them all to fly up, and then pointed to the location where countless dark figures were constantly emerging from the forest.

There, dozens of Knightmare robots and hundreds of spider-like machines formed a solid defensive line, halting the Shadows' continued attack. The two sides engaged in a seemingly endless war of attrition.

"Come, come, enjoy this! This is a rare sight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Damocles floating airship above everyone's heads suddenly began to shake.

Author's Note:

PS: Three updates tomorrow.

081 A flower mother was blown up

The massive floating warship has now incorporated undimensional matter in key areas, resulting in a breakthrough improvement in all aspects of its performance. However, its enormous size still creates a tremendous spectacle when it moves.

Moreover, this time, even someone who knew nothing about warships could almost tell what the warship was about to do just by looking at the huge, thick, terrifying cannons protruding from the cracked armor plates beneath it.

"Are you going to fire the cannon? Are you going to fire a shot?"

Marisa Kirisame was the first to cheer. The heavy atmosphere brought about by Konno Yuuki's words seemed to have little effect on her, as if she instinctively knew that those words were not directed at her.

Indeed, this was the case. Kirisame Marisa was probably the most relaxed among them. Even if she regained her memories later, given her personality and reputation in Gensokyo, the others' attitudes towards her wouldn't change much.

The only thing that worries Momo is whether the cause of Kirisame Marisa's death is related to Reimu Hakurei.

“That’s right,” Konno Yuuki said to Momo, “You’ve seen that over there, right? That’s where the shadows originated. Although there are some differences in nature, you can consider that place as a place where the true gods of this world might exist.”

"God has discovered our location, our plans and purposes, and therefore intends to stop our actions. He is willing to do so even if it means overturning the world."

Konno Yuuki's words made everyone look around in the air. The once beautiful campus was now devastated. All the NPCs had turned into shadows and been eliminated. Apart from the SSS group being watched over and protected by the sisters on the other side, there was no trace of any living person in the entire school.

"Well, you can rest assured that if you don't want to join us, we will transform this afterlife into a real paradise."

"So, take this opportunity to think it over carefully. What I just said wasn't an exaggeration."

"If you really want to join us and know about your past, then you must be prepared for your worldview and life to be completely overturned."

"My older brother was trying to think of a more appropriate and tactful way to handle this conflict. But since you've come to me for advice, I'll do it my way and give you the opportunity to face everything directly."

After saying that, Konno Yuuki nodded, seemingly feeling that his words were quite eloquent, like an older brother's, and smiled smugly.

She didn't disturb the group deep in thought, but instead watched with great interest as the floating warship prepared to fire its main cannon. This was a power that even she couldn't unleash or counter in her current state, and this power was about to be unleashed towards the gathering of those dark figures.

As for why Momo did this, Konno Moyuki didn't ask. Anyway, it was something her older brother had to do, so she just watched and waited quietly.

"I……"

Sakuya Izayoi bit her lip and was the first to speak. At this moment, it seemed that her strong side was about to show, but unfortunately, Konno Yuuki and Kirisame Marisa exclaimed at the same time, interrupting her.

"coming!"

"They've fired!"

After adjusting its position and fully charging, the Damocles floating warship unleashed a deep, ominous red beam from its main cannon. This beam, resembling intertwined dark red lightning, formed a massive dark red pillar of light that crashed down upon the densest concentration of shadows.

The terrifying beam of light exuded a power capable of destroying everything. Even the people of Gensokyo, who had lost their memories and could now be considered ordinary, and even Konno Yuuki's group, wore serious expressions, pondering how to deal with such immense power.

Speechless, everyone watched in silence as the massive beam of light shot towards the area filled with shadowy figures. The Knightmare and spider robots there had already retreated en masse, and the shadowy figures, who hadn't yet reacted, were almost instantly wiped out.

Completely disappeared.

This shot was many times more powerful than the strongest Knightmare in the Code Geass world. After all, this was a main cannon enhanced by primordial matter. Materials were no longer the limiting factor for the main cannon's power. The bottleneck was the amount of energy that could be output at once.

If unlimited energy could be provided, Momo could build a main cannon capable of destroying a planet.

Now, this main cannon, whose power far surpasses that of a city-destroying treasure and is enough to destroy half of a large modern city, was blasted down without any mercy.

Faced with such power, the ground would certainly be unable to withstand the main cannon's force. What awaited everyone was that this massive cannon would blast a huge crater into the ground.

Everyone subconsciously thought so.

However, an unexpected change occurred.

The dark figures huddled together in the sky were indeed annihilated by the main cannon, but when the red beam of the main cannon struck the ground, it was strangely blocked by something and could not move forward.

Like a thick, dark red laser beam crackling with electricity, its path blocked by a wall. The enormous dark red beam of light stretched endlessly across the sky, but it failed to unleash its destructive power, instead becoming a massive laser pillar lying across the heavens.

This is how the same thing?

It seems that no one knows what happened, except for Momo's side.

"That's really amazing."

Momo was also in the sky, but unlike Konno Moyuki and the others, he was at a very high altitude, looking down at the scene of the main cannon bombarding the ground. As a result, he was able to see the scenery that Konno Moyuki and the others could not see.

After the endless black shadows in the sky were torn apart, what appeared before Momo's eyes, about to be hit directly by the main cannon, was a field of flowers.

Deep in the forest, a flower field had been cultivated by someone. The most eye-catching sight was the thriving sunflowers, their smiling faces turned towards the sun.

A flower field shouldn't exist here, yet it does, and it definitely has an owner. No, not just this flower field, but actually, this flower field and its owner shouldn't exist here, shouldn't exist in the afterlife.

They should be in the sunflower fields of Gensokyo, not in this remote corner of the afterlife hidden deep in the forest.

However, now that the flower field has appeared here, discussing its origins is pointless. The focus should be on the owner of this flower field, located directly above it.

She held up a parasol, blocking the terrifying dark red beam of light that descended from the sky.
