Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"So, please help my original body at that time. Don't treat it too specially, just like you planned to treat those people in the SSS group, give my original body a chance to start over."

"Is this your wish?"

"This is also my wish. After all, you probably know my life. If I had the opportunity to start a new life... I think my original self could benefit more people as a doctor, right?"

Mo Mo nodded quietly and said, "I understand."

The copy before us inherited everything from the original Otonashi Yuzuru, including his memories and wishes from his lifetime. Although Otonashi Yuzuru could be said to have died without regrets, it is undeniable that he died young.

Therefore, being able to live again is clearly an irresistible desire for Yuzuru Otonashi.

Thank you.

Otonashi Yuzuru stood up, bowed to Mo Mo, and said, "Well then... it's time to end all of this."

"Wait, wait!"

Mo Mo quickly raised his hand to stop the clone of Otonashi Yuzuru, who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and starting to think about how to die, and said, "Have you forgotten about paying the reward?"

"I can't help you for nothing, can I?"

Mo Mo spread his hands out and then reached out to the clone of Otonashi Yuzuru, revealing a hungry look like that of a big bad wolf. This look made the clone of Otonashi Yuzuru tremble and subconsciously cross its arms to its chest.

"What...what are you going to do? What are your plans?"

"Ah, my plans... there are so many! Come on, let's discuss them slowly!"

……

While Momo was slowly discussing the reward with the clone of Otonashi Yuzuru, the ground finally returned to calm, and all the battles were over.

The prisoners of the SSS group, who are also the only remaining people in the afterlife, have started cleaning up the battlefield under the organization of the sisters, and are actively working to restore the basic order of the school. For example, the simplest thing is to restore the cafeteria's supply.

After all, people in the afterlife will be resurrected even if they starve to death, but starving to death is not a pleasant thing.

On Yuuka's side, her sisters used Knightmare to help her level the ground, and soon she had replanted the rescued insects. Under the catalysis of her demonic power, a cluster of tender green seedlings had already appeared on the ground, and it was clear that it wouldn't be long before the garden was restored to its original appearance.

As for Kazami Yuuka herself, she brought out a round table to entertain Konno Yuuki and the others from Gensokyo. However, whether it was because Kazami Yuuka herself had a very strong presence, or because Konno Yuuki's previous questions were too sharp, the girls remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

of course there are exceptions.

Marisa Kirisame continued to laugh heartlessly, and she immediately accepted the fact that Kaguya Houraisan had become a child, with Fujiwara no Mokou as her mother and Momo as her father. She led Kaguya Houraisan in jumping around, looking just like childhood best friends.

Judging from their appearance, the two of them are probably around the same age.

As for Konno Yuuki, he remained leisurely observing Kazami Yuuka, looking every bit the battle-hardened individual. Both sensed the powerful aura of the other upon meeting, but unfortunately, perhaps unwilling to break free from her status as a prisoner, Kazami Yuuka refused Konno Yuuki's challenge.

"Are you having any difficulties?"

Seeing that everyone's brows were furrowed and they all looked preoccupied, Kazami Yuuka couldn't help but ask.

Although she had almost no interaction with anyone, she had met them before. As fellow people of Gensokyo, even as a great youkai, Kazami Yuuka instinctively felt a sense of closeness.

Seeing their silent demeanor, Kazami Yuuka instinctively wanted to help them.

"It's no use, Kazami Yuuka-neechan. This is their own problem, and they need to solve it themselves."

"Can't you tell me?"

"It's no big deal to tell you."

Konno Yuuki cleared her throat and said, "You know, right? They are actually all dead, after all, they have entered the afterlife. As the dead, they certainly can't continue like this."

"Right now, the older brother is offering them different opportunities. On one hand, it's to come to the older brother's side and become his partner. On the other hand, it's to live a normal life like the members of the SSS group later on."

"They all want to join the older brother and become his companions, but this also means that they will regain their memories and remember who they are."

"And you understand what this means, right, Yuuka-neechan?"

Kazami Yuuka glanced at Fujiwara no Mokou, Izayoi Sakuya, and Kochiya Sanae, who was still bowing her head and remaining silent, and nodded.

“I can give you some advice,” Yuuka Kazami said, meeting the gazes of the group as they turned back. “Just ignore the past completely. There’s nothing left to miss in Gensokyo.”

"Knowing those things will only cause you more trouble."

"That place is no longer what it used to be."

093 I can join you.

Everyone looked at Kazami Yuuka in surprise, never expecting that this seemingly cold and aloof great yokai would have such an approachable side.

Now that everyone knows Kazami Yuuka's identity, if it weren't for Mo Mo's actions and the terrible battle between the two sides, probably no one would believe that a monster was sitting in front of them.

Moreover, this monster was no different from an ordinary woman; in fact, her appearance possessed a more mature charm than most.

Of course, the initial surprise at Kazami Yuuka's identity as a yokai and the general astonishment at her being a yokai have gradually subsided. After all, even knowing that Kazami Yuuka is a yokai, when she appears and speaks like an ordinary woman, only a little aloof, everyone has gradually gotten used to it.

At this moment, more than Kazami Yuuka's identity as a youkai, the group was more concerned about another aspect of her identity: that she came from a place called Gensokyo.

According to Momo, Gensokyo is where they lived before they died, their hometown, and the place they desperately want to find and recall their memories of.

But then, Kazami Yuuka told everyone to stop thinking about Gensokyo. Perhaps the girls would scoff at such a thing if someone else said it, but this was a fellow villager from Gensokyo. What kind of change had led Kazami Yuuka to say such a thing?

The girls all looked bewildered.

First, Konno Yuuki gave everyone a rude awakening, making them realize that finding the memories they longed for in their hearts wasn't necessarily a good thing. Coupled with Kazami Yuuka's words, it seems that Gensokyo itself has also changed.

Under this series of blows, even the most powerful Sakuya Izayoi was not only angry and confused, but also lost her way for a time.

"What exactly happened in Gensokyo?"

Fujiwara no Mokou suppressed her unease and asked Kazami Yuuka, but to the girls' dismay, Kazami Yuuka showed no intention of telling them about the situation in Gensokyo.

Even though Kazami Yuuka admitted that she was Momo's prisoner, she never told Momo the true situation in Gensokyo, so naturally she wouldn't tell Fujiwara no Mokou and the other girls now.

Even now, Kazami Yuuka and Fujiwara no Mokou are practically from the same hometown.

"What?! You only said half of what you meant, are you deliberately putting on airs and making fun of us?"

Fujiwara no Mokou crossed her arms and questioned Kazami Yuuka without any politeness. Kazami Yuuka glanced at Fujiwara no Mokou with some surprise, seemingly not expecting Fujiwara no Mokou to dare to speak to her like that.

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem wrong.

In Gensokyo, Fujiwara no Mokou and Kazami Yuuka didn't interact much, but Yuuka knew about Fujiwara no Mokou's status as a Hourai native. She was someone who could never die, someone even Yuuka couldn't kill.

Given her status as such, it's only natural that she's fearless. Even Fujiwara no Mokou isn't afraid of her in Gensokyo. Not to mention, Fujiwara no Mokou has lost her memory and now has Momo as her backer.

Regarding the relationship between Momo and Fujiwara no Mokou, Kazami Yuuka is currently still completely confused. Especially regarding Kaguya Houraisan's situation, Kazami Yuuka remains baffled.

One seemed to have lost its wisdom and turned into a child. The other, however, wore a wedding ring on its ring finger—a basic modern concept that Kazami Yuuka was well aware of.

However, she chose to ignore it, since it wasn't something she was too concerned about, and the two sides didn't have any relationship to begin with.

Kazami Yuuka's reminder to Fujiwara no Mokou and the others was merely a spur-of-the-moment thing.

"What is the purpose of you regaining your memories?"

Ignoring Fujiwara no Mokou's question, Kazami Yuuka instead posed a question to both Fujiwara no Mokou and Houraisan Kaguya. The two women were both taken aback, their eyes filled with confusion.

Regaining memories... need I say more? It's naturally about recalling past events. Does that even need a reason?

"Don't you understand..."

Seeing that the two didn't react, Yuuka Kazami simply answered her own question, saying, "You're not trying to find lost memories of the past, but rather memories of your previous life. There's a big difference between the two, don't you realize that?"

At this moment, Izayoi Sakuya and Fujiwara no Mokou were completely stunned, because Kazami Yuuka's short sentence was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in their ears.

Memories of the past and memories of one's lifetime are not the same thing at all.

People with amnesia seek to regain their past memories in order to understand their past, recall the people and events of the past, and then reintegrate into their past lives, returning to their original life trajectory.

But as the dead in the afterlife, what good would it do for these women to regain their memories of their past lives?

All they can do is have another memory to recall, whether it be sad or happy, and then cherish that memory in their hearts, like a photograph.

That's it.

Is it possible for them to return to Gensokyo?

Even without past memories, Fujiwara no Mokou and Izayoi Sakuya were well aware of this; it was impossible.

Because they are dead.

They exist here because this is the afterlife, allowing them to exist in this way even though they are already dead.

Even if they, who are already dead, had the chance to return to Gensokyo, they might actually die the moment they entered Gensokyo because they lost the protection of the afterlife.

This is the reality that these people who are already dead faced.

The dead can never return to the world of the living; this is an absolute boundary.

"If you really want to return to Gensokyo, there's really only one way, isn't there? You just said it yourself, Momo has extended an invitation to you."

"Although I don't quite understand this invitation, it seems to allow you to get rid of the deceased's identity? If that's the case, then your choice is quite obvious."

"Whether you want to regain your memories and return to your past life trajectory, or forget your past memories and start a new life, you only have one choice: to join Momo."

Kazami Yuuka's words made their eyes light up. They had been hesitant and conflicted before, holding back their progress due to fear of the future.

However, Yuuka Kazami's words made them realize that they were not at a crossroads, but on an elevator that was constantly going up. There was no way back, only the option to move forward.

In that case... there's nothing to hesitate about, right?

In fact, Momo did offer them a third path. That was to stop chasing after what they had in their previous lives, and to stop joining Momo, but instead to live ordinary lives like everyone else.

Unfortunately, this choice has already been ignored by several girls.

Fujiwara no Mokou naturally wanted to follow her good brother and fulfill the promise of being best friends for life. After all, she had already put on the ring and kissed and touched him, so Momo should take responsibility, right?

Furthermore, she had a daughter, and Fujiwara no Mokou couldn't bear the responsibility of raising Kaguya Houraisan all by herself!

As for Kaguya Houraisan, her dear daughter, she naturally stays with her parents, and she even tries to kiss her father without her mother's knowledge.

As for Izayoi Sakuya... right now she is serving and is loyal to Nakamura Yuri. Since her master has run to Momo's side, how can she, as a servant, not follow?

Finally, there's Marisa Kirisame, and her reason for choosing her must be quite simple. Since everyone else has joined Momo, how could she, who loves excitement and dislikes being alone, refuse Momo's invitation?

"Looks like you've figured it out."

Yuuka Kazami took a sip of tea, a sense of peace settling in her heart. She had persuaded the girls to join Momo because she no longer wanted them to return to Gensokyo.

After all, the essence of Gensokyo has changed, and it's unknown in what direction it will continue to change next.

At least in Yuuka Kazami's opinion, she hated this change, and she believed that the only possible outcome for Gensokyo's future was destruction.

This is also one of the reasons why she made a deal with Yukari Yakumo, ran away from Gensokyo alone, and tried to settle in this afterlife.
