Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Having lost his strength, Komeiji Satoru slumped into Momo's arms, seemingly having lost even the strength to tremble.

Her eyes were filled with a confused and bewildered light, as if she couldn't understand her current situation or what was happening to her body.

Of course, it's also possible that Komeiji Satoru's brain finally couldn't handle the enormous load and went on strike, entering a self-protective state, no longer resisting the images transmitted from Momo's mind.

Scene after scene poured directly into the depths of Komeiji Satoru's consciousness, making it impossible for her to distinguish between reality and illusion. She allowed these memories from Momo to be pieced together into her own consciousness, making them inseparable.

In this way, even though Momo did nothing, Komeiji Satoru became the heroine in countless stories, experiencing countless different stories and savoring countless different developments.

And so, Komeiji Satoru, who was limp on Momo's body, trembled again.

Trembling is different from shaking, and Komeiji Satoru, who can no longer resist, is also different from herself just now. Her body is reacting to the story that did not happen in reality, and there are so many reactions all over her body that the ultimate reaction that comes together is trembling.

Seeing this, Mo Mo frowned even more, seemingly worried about Komeiji Satoru's health. He took Komeiji Satoru's hands, held her small hands in his palms, and then pressed them close to her face, saying, "It's alright, I'm here. I'll fight the illness with you."

"Ok!"

The only response to Momo was a deep murmur emanating from Komeiji Satoru's small nose. Komeiji Satoru then trembled violently all over again, and it took several minutes for her to slowly regain her composure.

However, this calm was destined to last only a short while, merely a brief period of sluggishness brought on by Komeiji Satoru's utter exhaustion. As soon as Komeiji Satoru regained a little strength, that eerie tremor reappeared, and soon enough, it caused Komeiji Satoru's body to tense up again.

Momo seemed helpless against this strange illness, and could only quietly stay with Komeiji Satoru, waiting for time to pass and watching Komeiji Satoru repeat this strange illness time and time again.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Mo finished savoring those wonderful stories and temporarily reduced his interest, turning instead to carefully reading and studying each story one by one, rather than using his enormous computing power to animate the stories and images.

At this moment, Komeiji Satoru, whom Momo held in her arms, seemed to have finally overcome her illness and returned to normal a little. However, her current condition was still quite bad, making Momo, who was holding her, feel sorry for her.

At this moment, Komeiji Satori's clothes were disheveled, her whole body was soaked with sweat, and her pink hair was wet and clinging to her cheeks and forehead in clumps. Her disordered and heavy breathing made Komeiji Satori's body unable to bear the burden, and even Mo Mo's constant massage seemed unable to relieve the burden on her body.

Not only that, but Komeiji Satoru's sweat flowed down her smooth, white legs, soaking her white socks and shoes, and even dripping onto the ground, leaving a puddle of water that smelled of Komeiji Satoru's body.

Seeing this, Mo Mo smiled and reached out to help Komeiji Satoru with her disheveled hair, wiping the sweat from her cheeks and neck.

Every time Momo's fingertips gently touched Komeiji Satori's skin, it would send a shiver down Komeiji's spine. Her vacant, bewildered eyes would gradually regain a glimmer of life with each touch.

Komeiji Satoru trembled as she reached out and touched the back of Momo's hand, pressing her palm against it. She moved her hand slowly along with Momo's fingers, seemingly savoring the warmth of Momo's touch.

Despite it being their first touch, Komeiji Satoru was already intimately familiar with Momo's scent and temperature; her body had even instinctively grown accustomed to the touch and craved it.

However, this harmonious and blissful scene lasted only a moment. As the light returned to Komeiji Satoru's eyes, her stagnant brain finally began to function again.

She took a deep breath, her demonic power surging, as if she were about to launch an attack on Mo Mo at any moment.

"Stop fooling around!"

Mo Mo gently patted Komeiji Satoru's head. Komeiji Satoru trembled, let out a groan, and her body went limp again.

The reason is quite simple: Momo suddenly became interested in works depicting Komeiji Satoru and resumed his arduous creative work as an independent animator.

"Ugh—what are you trying to do?!"

Despite the protests of her mind and body, Komeiji Satoru struggled to utter her words. She was already incredibly familiar with Momo in her memories, yet this was only the second sentence she had spoken to him.

This is really strange; indeed, someone is sick, and quite seriously so.

Momo gently stroked Komeiji Satori's head, continuing to tidy up her wet, pink hair. Komeiji Satori resisted this from the bottom of her heart, but she had no power to fight back.

Because 99% of her brain's and consciousness's processing power was consumed by Mo Mo's despicable stories. The fact that she could barely maintain a sliver of sanity to converse with Mo Mo was already a reason why Mo Mo was going easy on her.

After this period of exploration, Momo has understood where Komeiji Satori's limits lie. Although her brainpower as a youkai far surpasses that of humans, it is still considerably inferior to Momo's current abilities.

"You should be able to sense my thoughts, right? Although I only left you with a trace of independent thought, it's enough for you to make rational judgments."

Momo didn't speak, but uttered these words while creating the animation. The animation was processed by 99% of Komeiji Satoru's brain, while the remaining 1% of her consciousness, used to stay awake, began to converse with Momo.

Komeiji Satoru's body stiffened; she realized she had fallen into Momo's hands, and in such a bizarre way. However, regardless of the form, she clearly understood that she was powerless to resist.

"Yes."

Komeiji Satoru pursed her lips, remaining silent as well, and instead began a mental dialogue with Momo using her own abilities.

Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly. Komeiji Satoru was willing to cooperate, which was the best thing that could happen.

However, Momo still needed to think about how to communicate with Komeiji Satoru and what information he could extract from her.

Should I directly ask Komeiji Satori why she met with Yakumo Yukari, what their purpose was after meeting, and why Komeiji Satori appeared in front of me?

These are indeed good questions, and enough to answer Momo's questions. However, if Momo asks these questions, it also means that Momo will reveal a lot of his abilities to Yakumo Yukari, making Yakumo Yukari wary.

For example, how did Momo know Yakumo Yukari's whereabouts?

How much does Momo know about Yakumo Yukari's plans and the secrets of Gensokyo?

For Yukari Yakumo... how much more dangerous and troublesome has Mo Mo become?

All of this is not Mo Mo's problem, but Yakumo Yukari's problem, yet it is something Mo Mo needs to consider.

Currently, Momo and Yakumo Yukari haven't clashed again; they maintain a superficially non-interference but mutually wary balance. If Momo's behavior crosses a certain line, Momo fears Yakumo Yukari might do something drastic.

Mo Mo wasn't afraid of Yakumo Yukari, but he wouldn't easily cross her bottom line before figuring out Reimu Hakurei's situation.

However, not touching Yakumo Yukari's bottom line doesn't mean Mo Mo won't do something.

Don't forget, Momo made her decision the moment she started working for Cheng. Momo was going to act boldly, to undermine Yakumo Yukari, and to gradually force Yakumo Yukari, who was hiding behind the scenes and confident that Momo wouldn't harm Gensokyo, to the forefront, like a frog being slowly boiled in water.

“Very good,” Momo patted Komeiji Satoru’s little head and said, “You don’t need to worry. I’m a good person and a gentleman. I would never do anything bad to you. I can guarantee that.”

Komeiji Satoru felt a lump in her throat, and for a moment she felt an urge to cry. Indeed, Momo didn't seem to have done much to her, but Komeiji Satoru knew that she could no longer escape Momo's clutches.

Komeiji Satoru was at a loss as to how to deal with the countless indelible memories in her mind. She felt that the moment she closed her eyes, those false yet real memories of her past with Momo would inevitably surface in her mind.

"I won't question you or force you to say anything. I'll just give you two points now. Can you listen to me quietly and patiently?"

Komeiji Satoru nodded helplessly. At this point, did she still have a choice?

"Firstly, don't try to understand what I or the people around you are thinking. I know your ability can't be easily shut down, and I can't force you to. So, you can focus on the animation I made. It's a story about the two of us, isn't it wonderful?"

Komeiji Kakuma wanted to resist at all costs and tear Momo, who was holding her, to pieces!

The stories Momo created were simply corrupting to her mind and body, and according to Momo's current intentions, she would have to continue reading them.

What a joke!

However, Komeiji knew that if she didn't agree, Momo would use her powerful calculation ability to suppress and break down even her last shred of rationality.

At that time, Komeiji Satoru will return to the state he was in before, having lost all consciousness and the ability to resist, and will be completely at Momo's mercy.

Mo Mo is still maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor, but who knows if he will do the things she's thinking of when she shows that unguarded attitude again?

No, absolutely not!

Left with no other choice, Komeiji Satoru nodded and agreed to this extremely humiliating condition.

“Very good, now let’s move on to the second condition…”

"Jue, if you obediently follow me, I have a way to help your sister, Lian, regain her consciousness when we meet. What do you say?"

131 Waaah, you bastard!

Komeiji Satoru tensed up again upon hearing this. If there was anyone in the world she cared about most, it would be her younger sister, Komeiji Ren.

Komeiji Ren and her older sister Komeiji Satoru have names that differ by only one character, yet the sisters display opposite abilities and have vastly different fates.

Although her older sister, Komeiji Satori, is disliked by many, she is actually a very important person as the master of the Earth Spirit Palace, responsible for managing the spirits of the Old Hell.

In addition, she has her beloved pets to keep her company, so even though Komeiji Satoru is hated by all living beings except her pets, she is not overly pessimistic or disappointed, because at least she can find a place for her emotions to belong.

Even though Komeiji Satoru rarely interacts with others because of this, and her personality is calm and even somewhat unemotional, she is still within the normal range, and is even a source of cuteness for many people.

Komeiji Komeiji is different. Knowing that her ability is disliked, she shuts it down, or rather, uses it in reverse, closing off her ability while also closing off her heart.

As a result, she could no longer read other people's thoughts, but she could control how others perceived her.

Simply put, Komeiji Komeiji shut down her ability, causing her to disappear from the consciousness of others. No one noticed her, and naturally, no one interacted with her. Gradually, Komeiji herself became accustomed to this situation, existing in a state of unconsciousness.

Komeiji Komeiji wasn't a walking corpse, yet she thought of nothing, had no desires, didn't communicate with anyone, and wasn't expected to do anything by anyone. It was as if a barrier separated her from everyone, even her older sister, Komeiji Komeiji.

Even when she occasionally interacts with others and behaves like a normal person, no one knows whether this is her true thought and consciousness, an instinctive reaction, or simply the most basic imitation of an ordinary person in the sense of common sense.

Let alone others, even Komeiji herself doesn't know what she'll do next. In a state of unconsciousness, she might be smiling and saying hello to you one second, and the next second she might be smiling and tearing open your chest and taking out your heart.

For Komeiji Komeiji, this has nothing to do with right or wrong, or desire; it's simply a basic, unconscious act. Perhaps she suddenly became interested in your heart and did this immediately.

As the older sister, Komeiji Komeiji Satoru desperately wanted to make her younger sister more normal because of her sisterly love and her guilt for not stopping Komeiji when she tried to shut down her powers.

At the very least, she wanted her younger sister to be able to communicate normally, to have her own normal thoughts, and to have her own desires, even the most basic desires of life. She wanted her sister to be like a real living being, instead of being like a ghost wandering throughout Gensokyo.

Unfortunately, Komeiji Satoru had no choice.

Her abilities are roughly on the same level as Koishi Komeiji's, so naturally she can't break through Koishi Komeiji's abilities or communicate with her. As for the rest of Gensokyo, since they can't resist Koishi Komeiji's abilities, they naturally can't break through Koishi Komeiji's abilities or open Koishi Komeiji's heart.

Originally, Komeiji Satoru had basically given up hope on this matter, but now, Momo, the man who subdued her with such despicable means, actually said that he could help his sister.

Will Komeiji Satoru believe Momo?

of course not!

From the very beginning, Komeiji Satori was waiting for Momo here. Just as Momo had predicted, she accepted Yakumo Yukari's request to use her abilities to find out Momo's true strength.

Komeiji Satoru neither refused nor had the right to refuse.

After all, Gensokyo is no longer the Gensokyo of the past. The disappearance of the Old Hell means that Komeiji Satori and her sister, as well as their pets and even many people from the Old Hell, must settle down in Gensokyo.

All of this undoubtedly requires the approval and support of Yakumo Yukari, the youkai sage. As the price for Komeiji Satori and the other migrants from the old hell, they naturally have to exchange benefits with Yakumo Yukari to a certain extent.

The simplest exchange of benefits is naturally to obey Yakumo Yukari's orders and serve her.

Let alone such a trivial matter, even if Yukari Yakumo asked them to fight, Satoru Komeiji wouldn't refuse. After all, they currently live in Gensokyo, which is their home, and protecting their home is only natural.

Therefore, Komeiji Satoru already knew quite a bit about Momo through Yakumo Yukari, including Momo's name, origins, personality, abilities, and level of danger.

Regarding the level of danger, Komeiji Satoru knew from Yakumo Yukari that Momo was extremely dangerous, to the point that even Yakumo Yukari needed to be careful. Therefore, Komeiji Satoru naturally understood that she might not be a match for Momo in terms of combat strength.

However, while Komeiji Satoru's combat strength isn't among the strongest in Gensokyo, the strangeness of her abilities is still enough to cause headaches and be difficult to counter. Therefore, Komeiji Satoru doesn't think dealing with Momo and reading Momo's thoughts will be a difficult task.

Even though her combat strength was not as good as Momo's on the surface, Komeiji Satoru gained the upper hand by reading Momo's mind, which made her confident that she had the ability to fight back.

Unfortunately, it turned out that Komeiji Satoru was wrong, terribly wrong.

Now, Komeiji Satoru is unable to escape this predicament of being in Momo's hands. Her most powerful ability, mind-reading, is completely useless; in fact, Momo has directly suppressed her to the point that she has lost her personal freedom. This has led Komeiji Satoru to completely disregard the possibility of her abilities being effective against Momo.

As for attacking Momo with demonic power... how could Momo, who is even wary of Yakumo Yukari, be afraid of a demonic attack from Komeiji Satoru that is one or two levels above Yakumo Yukari?

Unable to escape her current predicament, powerless to resist and subjected to Momo's whims, with those shameful seeds planted in her heart, Komeiji Satoru was already filled with shame and indignation. Now, Momo had brought up her sister, almost causing Komeiji Satoru to lose even her last shred of resolve.

Fortunately, Komeiji Satoru didn't believe Momo; she simply couldn't believe a man who had done such a terrible thing to her. Even though her current abilities allowed her to discern that Momo's true intention was to help his sister.
