Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Oh, thank you so much, Kazami Yuuka-neechan. Hehe, as expected of an old lady who has withstood the test of time, you really know how to easily persuade them."

"Actually, I was just having a headache. After all, it seems I scared them too much. If this really makes them stop joining Big Brother's side, I'm afraid Big Brother will hate punishing me."

Kazami Yuuka nodded slightly and said, "It's alright, I just told them the truth. There's one thing I'm curious about: what power does Momo possess that allows him to bring the dead back to life?"

What Kazami Yuuka actually wanted to ask was a series of questions, such as who Momo really was, what his background was, and why he had the ability to travel between worlds.

However, given her current status as a prisoner, she should absolutely not be asking these questions. Even though at this moment, she appears to be being treated as a guest.

"Well..."

Konno Yuuki looked at Kazami Yuuka, blinked, and said, "Actually, you can join too, Kazami Yuuka-neechan."

"Can I join too?"

Kazami Yuuka was slightly taken aback and asked, "Then what exactly is this? What will I need to do after joining? What are my obligations? And what will it bring me?"

"This..."

Konno Yuuki rested her chin on her hands and said, "There are so many benefits, whether it's in terms of life, spirit, or even physique. Right now, Big Brother's power can be said to span several worlds. As a person, no matter what your wish is, Big Brother can fulfill it."

"As for obligations... to put it simply, if you join us, you become our partner, and we are all one family. In that case, we must all work hard for this family, fight to protect it, and strive to make it bigger and better."

"That's roughly the situation. Of course, the biggest benefit of joining us is being by Big Brother's side. Hmph, Yuuki doesn't want anything, as long as Big Brother still treats me like a sword, that's enough."

Konno Yuuki's face was filled with radiance and smiles, an expression that infected Izayoi Sakuya and Fujiwara no Mokou. Even Kazami Yuuka, standing to the side, was instinctively moved, saying, "Indeed, your older brother Momo is an excellent person, an outstanding leader."

"He must have put in a lot of effort to lead you and win your hearts and minds."

Konno Yuuki nodded, thinking to himself: Whether in daily life, on the battlefield, or in the room...

Unbeknownst to her, Konno Yuuki's thoughts had wandered off course. Her face flushed, and she quickly tossed her hair to shake off the romantic notions in her mind.

Ever since her older brother said he would find time to properly play with her sword, Konno Muyuki felt that she could no longer maintain a normal mindset when following Momo.

Such symptoms can probably only be temporarily relieved by the drugs produced in Momo's body. Moreover, Konno Yuuki will probably need to receive supplementary treatment from time to time in order to regain her original vigorous state.

Hmm... Big brother, come and play with your sword!

Such details naturally did not escape Kazami Yuuka's eyes. However, unfortunately, Kazami Yuuka could not see through everything with just a pair of eyes; what she saw was only Konno Yuuki's feelings for Momo.

She didn't feel anything unusual about it. Human emotions are simply too distant from our own.

As for whether or not to join Momo's side, Kazami Yuuka instinctively labeled it a no in her mind. After all, she was a youkai, and she didn't want to fight for anyone anymore. Besides, she had things she had to do, and some inextricable ties to her…

"So, Kazami Yuuka-neechan, would you like to consider joining us? As for what kind of situation we are on our side, it's hard for me to describe it to you in words. Why don't you experience it for yourself?"

After saying that, Konno Yuuki directly extended an invitation to Kazami Yuuka to join her as a Heroic Spirit. In that instant, Kazami Yuuka also instantly understood what joining Momo truly meant.

This means becoming a Heroic Spirit.

It means becoming a life form that transcends ordinary life, even the entire world system, possessing an eternal life that is immortal, immense power, and the Hall of Heroes, a paradise for heroic spirits, and so on and so forth.

As Konno Yuuki said, it's hard to describe all of this in words, and only the power of Valhalla could make Kazami Yuuka understand everything in an instant.

In an instant, Kazami Yuuka's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Especially striking was the uncontrollable excitement and anticipation in that expression, suggesting she was extremely eager to become a Heroic Spirit.

"Well, let Kazami Yuuka-neechan understand first. It's okay if you don't want to join. I think big brother will persuade you later..."

Konno Yuuki didn't notice Kazami Yuuka's gaze. When she invited Kazami Yuuka, she didn't intend for Kazami Yuuka to join her. She simply explained to Kazami Yuuka what a Heroic Spirit was in the simplest way.

After all, this is Kazami Yuuka, a strong person who doesn't even give face to Yakumo Yukari. How could someone like her join the Hall of Heroes just because of a single sentence from Konno Mokuyuki?

However, it turned out that Konno Yuuki was too young and underestimated the current appeal of Valhalla.

“I can join.”

However, Yuuka Kazami's words left everyone around her speechless.

"However... I have one condition."

094 The Guest Who Appeared Out of Nowhere

Konno Yuuki stared at Kazami Yuuka with her mouth agape, seemingly unable to believe her ears.

Kazami Yuuka wants to join the Hall of Heroes, and she's willing to join just because Kazami invited her?

Who is Kazami Yuuka?

No, what kind of demon is it?

Although Yuuka Kazami may appear as an approachable older sister in Gensokyo, she is actually cold and aloof at heart.

Such indifference stems not only from the indifference she has developed over the long years, but more so from the alienation she feels from those who are not of her kind, a consequence of the very nature of her life.

From a human perspective, aside from Kazami Yuuka's mindset of not harming ordinary, ant-like humans, she is an extremely vicious and dangerous character.

Such a character, even in the entire Gensokyo, no one or youkai wanted to approach her, and she was used to this situation, quietly staying alone in her sunflower field, seemingly never to change.

But now, Kazami Yuuka is actually willing to join their side's Hall of Heroes?

Konno Yuuki frowned and tilted his head, quickly thinking about what exactly had happened, and then pondering what exactly in the Hall of Heroes had attracted Kazami Yuuka.

After much thought, Konno Yuuki was surprised to find that Valhalla really did have many things that could attract people!

Even if the other party is a monster.

Wow... Yuuka joining my side is such a simple thing?

Konno Yuuki suddenly felt that she might have ruined her older brother's plans. After all, although her older brother did not currently refuse to allow real Heroic Spirits to join the Hall of Heroes, Konno Yuuki knew that what her older brother expected was not just the loyalty of Heroic Spirits.

As for what else, Konno Yuuki will soon find out.

"Isn't this great?"

When Konno Matsuki nervously reported this situation to Momo, Momo seemed to be out of breath, as if she had just experienced strenuous physical activity.

"If she's willing to join us, wouldn't that mean we've gained a powerful Heroic Spirit? And since she'll be one of us, wouldn't she be able to tell us exactly what happened in Gensokyo?"

"Although I never believed from the beginning that there was any bond of trust between Kazami Yuuka and Yakumo Yukari based on deep friendship, even if Kazami Yuuka was willing to help Yakumo Yukari keep a secret for some reason, I believe that reason would not be able to resist the temptation of making her our Heroic Spirit."

Although Mo Mo's voice was full of fatigue and heavy breathing, it also carried a hint of confidence.

"Otherwise, given Kazami Yuuka's personality, even if she thinks she can't beat us, she wouldn't try to solve the problem by making demands of us."

Hearing this, Konno Yuuki felt much more at ease. Given Mo Mo's attitude, whatever Kazami Yuuka's motives, once she became a Heroic Spirit, she would naturally become one of Mo Mo's own, and there was nothing to worry about.

At that point, will conditions imposed on our own people still be considered conditions?

This is not a problem at all for Valhalla and Mormor.

"All right!"

Konno Yuuki grinned happily and said, "Kazami Yuuka-neechan, big brother promises you, no matter what the conditions are, as long as Kazami Yuuka-neechan joins us."

The subtext of this statement is that once you're on the bus, on the ship, or have started cooking, when you buy a ticket or when the food is ready is just a matter for discussion.

"Aren't you worried that I might make some unreasonable demands?"

"Of course not."

Konno Yuuki shook her head and said, "Anyway, Kazami Yuuka-nee already knows about the benefits of joining us. The request you make must be something within our capabilities, or something we can do in the future."

"By then, Kazami Yuuka-neechan will have become our partner. Your affairs will be our affairs, so how could we not help you, Kazami Yuuka-neechan?"

Upon hearing this, Kazami Yuuka breathed a sigh of relief. This behavior was completely different from the incredibly assertive Kazami Yuuka that Konno Yuuki remembered. This made Konno Yuuki realize that the initiative was actually on their side.

The most crucial question is, what exactly are Yuuka Kazami's requests?

"I……"

Kazami Yuuka opened her mouth, hesitating to speak, as if this was not an easy thing for her to say. However, just as her eyes hardened and she was about to tell Konno Yuuki her request directly, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the space between Konno Yuuki and Kazami Yuuka, as if someone had cut a slit in space with a knife.

That wasn't all. Two pale hands emerged with difficulty from the opening, gripping the two ends of the gap like the two doors of a sliding door, slowly pulling the gap open to both sides.

Through the gap, the first thing one sees are a series of eerie eyes. The moment the gap is opened by these hands, those eyes stare intently at the person outside. This malevolent and eerie gaze gives one an instinctive feeling of dread.

However, her vision was quickly obscured by a figure. Her hands changed from pulling to supporting, bracing against the unseen edge of space, and she emerged from the gap, revealing her full appearance.

This bizarre entrance shocked everyone. Her hands, capable of opening up space, were beyond anyone's understanding of power. In particular, the strange eyes within the space added a mysterious sense of fear to her.

All of this combined is enough to create this person's majesty, a majesty that inspires awe.

The premise is that her image is not so tragic.

miserable?

Yes, it was tragic.

Because this person, although powerful enough to open a spatial rift, found the spatial rift here to be too solid, and since she was eager to get out of the empty rift, she had no choice but to squeeze out in a completely unladylike manner.

It's like she's dressed in an elegant evening gown, looking like the most dignified queen, only to find herself squeezing onto a crowded bus or subway, and then the miserable state she was in after successfully pushing her way out of the crowd.

Her hat was disheveled, her clothes were rumpled, and one of the shafts on the parasol in her hand was strangely turned outwards, making one wonder if this woman, who had just made a bizarre entrance, could still regain the majesty she had when she first appeared.

However, everyone soon realized that such worries were unnecessary. She continued to run her hands over every part of her body, adjusting her clothes at a speed that was almost impossible for the eyes to follow, and even put on an elegant smile.

Even her nearly broken parasol was gracefully turned back onto its outward-folding axis with an elegant smile, as if what had just happened to her was merely everyone's illusion.

"Cough um."

The visitor coughed lightly and said, "Good morning, ladies."

Her voice was elegant and melodious, and she returned to her elegant self. Unfortunately, the people around her didn't seem to cooperate, and their eyes were still looking at her strangely.

Apart from Kazami Yuuka's indifferent expression, several of the girls, including Konno Yuuki, even had a slight smile playing on their lips.

"Yukari Yakumo, before you start putting on airs, could you please get off the table first?"

Kazami Yuuka spoke coldly, while Yakumo Yukari, who seemed to be wondering what was happening around her, covered her mouth in surprise and looked down at her feet.

It turned out that when she squeezed out of the gap, she landed right on the makeshift table. And her toes landed on the edge of the tea and snack plate that Kazami Yuuka had prepared, causing the snacks to spill off the plate.

"Oh, I'm sorry, my apologies!"

Yukari Yakumo gave an apologetic smile, then, lifting her long skirt with one hand, gracefully stepped down from the table and landed back on the ground.

"Nice to meet you, I am Yukari Yakumo. I think I don't need to introduce myself much, because it seems you have an amazing intelligence-gathering ability and know a lot about Gensokyo."

This uninvited guest, who appeared in such a bizarre manner, is undoubtedly Yukari Yakumo.

Yukari Yakumo, a youkai sage, is extremely senior and powerful in both experience and strength. She possesses exceptional cunning and wisdom, earning her the title of "youkai sage." She is the founder of Gensokyo, a youkai who understands the true nature of Gensokyo, and cherishes it deeply.

If Reimu Hakurei, who protects the order of Gensokyo, can be called the city's guardian, then Yukari Yakumo, as the founder and defender of Gensokyo, should even be called its leader.
