Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the girl's forehead, but she quickly managed to salvage the situation, saying, "Haha, I... I was just kidding. Everyone has their own preferences. As long as you and Jue like each other, that's good, that's good!"

Unfortunately, the boy didn't listen to her words. He continued to stare at her with cold eyes, which made the girl feel a chill run down her spine. Helpless, she could only turn her gaze to Komeiji Satori, hoping that Komeiji Satori wasn't angry and could persuade her proud boyfriend.

Just then, Momo moved, taking a step forward. The girl was startled, and before she could react, Komeiji Satoru had already moved again, reaching out her arms to hug Momo's waist.

"Don't do anything reckless! If you're really angry, then... then you can bully me all you want. Even if you do those things to me again, or even worse, I won't fight back."

Komeiji Satoru's words caused Momo to stop moving and fall silent again. This strange change startled the girl. She smiled awkwardly, realizing that Komeiji Satoru's boyfriend was no longer just concerned with saving face.

This is absolutely brutal! It'll explode at the slightest provocation!

Why would Komeiji Satoru fall for someone like that?

Well, to each their own, and she couldn't judge other people's hobbies and feelings. She could only take advantage of Komeiji Satoru's actions and say, "Well... since you're here, why don't you come and be my guest? Although I don't have much here and can't host a banquet or anything, it's still no problem to entertain you."

"It's decided then, come with me... oh no, I'll go prepare everything by myself first, you can entertain your boyfriend by yourself!"

After saying that, the girl fled from their sight and disappeared at the end of the steps. At that moment, Komeiji Satoru gently released Momo and looked at Momo with a complicated expression.

At this moment, she, who could read Mo Mo's mind, was probably the person who understood Mo Mo's feelings the most.

"What's going on?"

Mo asked softly, seemingly having calmed down. Komeiji Satoru was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I cannot say."

"Aren't you afraid I'll get angry, lose my temper, and then destroy everything? You should have heard about my fighting power from Yukari Yakumo. Besides, I'm not alone; I have my own forces behind me."

"I'm afraid, so I'll stop you, I'll fight with all my might."

"You?"

“I can’t do it, but I will do it. As for the outcome… if I am really killed by you, then what happens afterward is not something I can care about.”

"Aren't you afraid that because of your obstruction, I'll take my anger out on your sister?"

Upon hearing this, Komeiji Satoru suddenly looked up, his angry eyes fixed on Mo Mo, his pale face flushed with rage.

"You really are afraid."

Mo Mo chuckled, but it was a cold laugh.

"So don't put on this resolute act in front of me; you have no right to. What you should do is obey me and follow my orders. If you want to guarantee that I won't get angry, then you'll do everything in your power to do so."

"Unless you find a way to defeat me, kill me, and save your sister and yourself, don't make me unhappy."

"I'm...very unhappy, you know that."

Komeiji Satoru fell silent again. After a few seconds, she nodded and said, "Yes, I understand."

She reached out and clutched the front of her shirt. She had just felt a strange, tearing pain, a pain that felt like it was ripping her body and soul apart, which sent chills down her spine.

And this pain comes from Momo.

"I will do as you say and follow your instructions. However, I hope... you won't hurt her; she's innocent."

Author's Note:

P.S.: Android users, please check for updates. Version 1.44 introduced something called a "blade," which is more motivating for authors than tips, because authors need to write a certain number of words to be eligible for rewards. As for whether you'll send me one...

135 Huh!!

"You don't need to worry about that."

Mo Mo's voice remained indifferent, but his emotions gradually calmed down.

Although things developed in a way that exceeded Momo's expectations, Momo had long known that he would not achieve his goal so easily in Gensokyo. Therefore, no matter what happened, Momo had no choice but to accept one option.

The only difference is the degree of twists and turns in the process.

“Of course I won’t hurt her, because the one who did these things was not her, but Yakumo Yukari, and you who submit to Yakumo Yukari.”

"The thing you should be thinking about most is to come up with a sufficiently good reason for doing this. Otherwise, once I have achieved my goal, be prepared to face my wrath."

“Of course,” Momo began to take a step forward, “You can try to continue to obstruct me, desperately confuse me, tempt me, or even threaten me to kill me. None of that matters. When it’s time to settle accounts, I will take care of everything.”

Watching Momo walk away step by step, Komeiji Satoru released her hand from her clothes. Her lips moved, but she didn't know what to say.

Because of her abilities, she is one of the few people in Gensokyo who knows the whole truth. In addition, she understands Momo's thoughts, so she is probably the person in Gensokyo who knows the most about the conflict between Momo, Gensokyo, and Yakumo Yukari right now.

Therefore, Komeiji Satoru was most aware of the irreconcilable nature of this situation, and she couldn't help but feel apprehensive. What would be the outcome if the two sides were allowed to continue their conflict?

This matter was beyond Komeiji Satoru's ability to consider and handle; only Yakumo Yukari could resolve it. However, Komeiji Satoru was also well aware of Yakumo Yukari's stubbornness; at least for now, Yakumo Yukari had no intention of making peace whatsoever.

What should we do about all this?

Feeling utterly lost, Komeiji Satoru followed Momo step by step upwards, head bowed. When even Yakumo Yukari could no longer rely on her, how would she face the increasingly dangerous Momo?

"Dad, are you alright?"

Yui appeared on Mo Mo's shoulder, and her words brought a faint smile to Mo Mo's face. Although Mo Mo's smile was somewhat forced, he was clearly in much better spirits.

"How about I call Yuuki to come and keep Dad company, or I can bring the other mothers back from the IS world, like I can contact Artoria's mother?"

Mo Mo patted Yui's head and said, "Daddy isn't that fragile yet. If your mothers really resolve the issues in the IS world, they'll naturally come to help me. For now, there's no need to distract them. Only Yuki and Mokou need her care more right now."

Yui nodded and said, "Hehe, Dad, don't be angry with me. I actually contacted Mom Artoria without asking her first. She told me that the matter in the IS world has been basically resolved. If it weren't for the need for a perfect resolution, Mom Artoria would probably be coming to Dad's place already."

"After all, Daddy owes Mommy Artoria a wedding night."

"Isn't that her own fault? She should be the one who owes me a wedding night. As my wife, Artoria is definitely not up to par in that respect."

"Hehe, I will tell Artoria's mother this truthfully."

"Go ahead and say it. If these words can inspire Artoria's sense of responsibility, that would be best."

After exchanging a few jokes with Yui, Mo Mo finally climbed all the steps and arrived at the platform halfway up the mountain, which is where the Hakurei Shrine is located.

Beneath her feet lay a wide, flat stone path, flanked by various lush, tall trees. These trees didn't obstruct Momo's view; instead, they cast shadows, and in the interplay of sunlight and shadow, the Hakurei Shrine stood quietly, just as Momo had imagined.

The shrine isn't very big, just a building, but it's not small either; it at least has a somewhat imposing appearance. Through the left edge, you can vaguely see the storage room at the back of the shrine.

What caught Mo Mo's attention the most was the donation box in front of the shrine. The words "offering" were written on the huge wooden box.

Everything seemed so natural, so leisurely, as if this were the most peaceful place in Gensokyo, the place Momo had hoped to come to, the place where Reimu Hakurei had grown up.

If Momo hadn't met the previous "Reimu Hakurei," she wouldn't have had any doubts about this, and would have happily blended into the environment, even generously offering 100,000 yen as a donation.

But now, nothing can go as Momo wishes.

Komeiji Satoru also climbed the steps and came to stand behind Momo. She waited quietly, carefully reading Momo's thoughts. As long as she ensured that Momo did not harbor any violent thoughts, then her job was done.

As for what Mo Mo wants to do or what he wants to do, she has neither the power nor the desire to interfere.

"Hey, you two, come here right now! What are you still standing there for?"

Reimu Hakurei carried a tea tray out of the shrine, sat on the floor, and waved to the two people. Her hasty departure wasn't entirely out of fear of Momo; another reason was to wholeheartedly entertain him.

Komeiji Satori was one of her few friends, someone who was willing to talk to her. Therefore, Reimu Hakurei was unwilling to lose Komeiji Satori as a friend under any circumstances.

In her opinion, if she treated Komeiji Satori well, then Komeiji Satori's boyfriend would definitely become her friend, right?

It wasn't that Reimu Hakurei had any special feelings for Momo; she simply longed to have more friends to talk to.

True friends, the simplest kind of friends, that's enough.

This request wasn't demanding, yet it proved difficult to fulfill for her. She didn't complain or blame others, because there was a reason for everything.

People are terrified of her, because she is the wicked witch "Reimu Hakurei".

Momo and Komeiji Satoru came over upon hearing the commotion and sat down together. Momo ignored the senbei and dango prepared by "Hakurei Reimu" and continued to stare at the girl who had replaced Hakurei Reimu.

Although she wasn't wearing the school uniform that left the deepest impression on Momo, nor did she have the twin tails from Fate, but instead had a single ponytail, and was even wearing a leaky shrine maiden outfit, it didn't stop Momo from recognizing her at a glance. Her name should be Rin Tohsaka.

This raises the question: is she Reimu Hakurei or Rin Tohsaka?

If she were still Rin Tohsaka, her current attire would indicate that she has become the successor to Reimu Hakurei and the next Hakurei Shrine Maiden.

This situation is easier to understand. The only thing Momo needs to know is why Rin Tohsaka from Fate entered Gensokyo and became the next Hakurei Shrine Maiden. Also, what exactly happened during her handover with Reimu Hakurei, and what happened between her and Reimu, and between her and Yukari Yakumo.

But what if the girl sitting in front of Mo Mo right now, who should essentially be Rin Tohsaka, turned into Reimu Hakurei, into the Reimu Hakurei everyone sees?

Even she herself thinks she is Reimu Hakurei?

If things really turn out that way, then this whole thing will be really interesting.

Is it a problem with her own memory, or did she take over the role of the original Hakurei Reimu at Yakumo Yukari's request and continue to fulfill the duties of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, or is there some other reason?

Komeiji Satoru clearly knew a lot about this, but she had no intention of telling Momo. Yakumo Yukari was definitely the culprit, but unfortunately, she would never tell Momo.

Therefore, all Momo could do was look for a breakthrough by dealing with Rin Tohsaka.

Rin Tohsaka maintained an elegant smile towards Mo Mo, but even the most elegant smile couldn't withstand Mo Mo's undisguised and direct gaze. After all, Rin's elegance was different from her father's; it was merely a facade, not a way of behaving.

Soon, Rin Tohsaka's lips twitched and her eyes narrowed. She awkwardly moved towards Satoru Komeiji, took his hand, and brought her mouth close to his ear.

"Hey, Jue, your boyfriend seems to still be angry... Please help me, I don't want him staring at me anymore, it's so embarrassing!"

He is not my boyfriend.

Komeiji Satoru frowned, not because Tohsaka Rin had misunderstood the relationship between the two, but because Komeiji Satoru also sensed the trouble that was about to come.

However, this wasn't something she needed to consider. After all, her mission was to read Momo's mind and stabilize her emotions; protecting the current "Hakurei Reimu" was not within the scope of her task.

"Actually..."

Komeiji Satoru looked up at Tohsaka Rin with a meaningful gaze and said, "We've only met for the first time today. Compared to my relationship with him, you should know better who he is and shouldn't be showing this kind of emotion."

Rin Tohsaka was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, and she pointed at herself, saying, "Me? I know him? How is that possible? I used to..."

As she was speaking, Rin Tohsaka's voice abruptly stopped. She seemed to have thought of something, her lips twitching as she asked softly, "That... was it before I lost my memory?"

Komeiji Satoru nodded and said, "It was indeed something that happened before your memories became confused."

Rin Tohsaka's eyes twitched violently as she said, "Don't tell me there's some important relationship between him and me. Don't tell me his current aggressive demeanor is really because of me?"

"I'm 100% sure that the reason he's so angry is because of you."

Komeiji Satoru looked at Tohsaka Rin with sincere eyes and said softly, "His name is Momo, do you know that now?"

"what!"

Rin Tohsaka jumped up suddenly, pointing at Mo Mo and shouting, "He...he's Mo Mo?"

"That... my legendary fiancé, Mo Mo?"
