Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Komeiji Satoru silently responded to Mo Mo in her heart, and then raised her head. Even though the gap in the table had not yet appeared in front of her, Komeiji Satoru knew that Yakumo Yukari would definitely appear.

Everything is definitely going as her master predicted; Yukari Yakumo will definitely not sit still. One Momo was already enough to make Yukari Yakumo exert a lot of effort, but now the number of Momo has suddenly increased to seven.

Once all seven Momos are collected, who knows what kind of mess her new master will make of Gensokyo?

It would be a miracle if Yukari Yakumo could sit still!

"What exactly happened?!"

Sure enough, a crack appeared before Komeiji Satoru's eyes, and Yakumo Yukari strode out from it, her face showing a hint of anxiety. Even if Komeiji Satoru didn't try to read Yakumo Yukari's mind, he could still feel the pressure she was under.

Seven Momos...

Moreover, it seems that each of the seven Momo can split again, so it might not be long before the entire Gensokyo is filled with men named Momo, both inside and outside the houses.

Thinking of that situation, Komeiji Satoru couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in her heart, an urge to laugh. Although she didn't have any good feelings towards Mo Mo, seeing Yakumo Yukari in such an anxious state still gave Komeiji Satoru a sense of satisfaction.

If it weren't for Yukari Yakumo, Satoru Komeiji probably wouldn't have become Momo's servant.

"This is what happened..."

Komeiji Satoru didn't hide anything from Yakumo Yukari, or rather, she didn't hide 99% of the information from her. Besides the matter of the Hall of Heroes, she told her everything about how Momo resurrected the nine girls and made them join Momo, and how she summoned Fujiwara no Mokou and the other girls to Gensokyo.

This was arranged by Momo.

What Momo needs to do is continue to put pressure on Yakumo Yukari, slowly boiling the frog. The two have tacitly decided that there won't be a large-scale direct conflict, and Momo's actions are merely taking the girls home to visit their families, which doesn't contradict this.

However, the presence of seven Momo leading seven girls in Gensokyo would bring immense pressure to Yukari Yakumo, who harbors a guilty conscience. This is especially true when Kaguya Houraisan and Sanae Kochiya carry secrets that Yukari doesn't want anyone to know.

After hearing Komeiji Satoru's words, Yakumo Yukari's face turned ashen.

155 One shot and you're blown away, Da☆Ze

Yukari Yakumo had no idea what Momo was up to, nor could she fathom what he intended. Momo's actions had completely exceeded her expectations, leaving her utterly uncertain about what would happen next.

The two have faced off several times now.

It all began in the afterlife when Yukari Yakumo discovered signs of betrayal from Yuuka Kazami. In a panic, she tried to stop Yuuka and intercept Momo. That was their first encounter, and Momo's strength far exceeded Yukari's expectations, forcing her to intervene.

Yukari Yakumo is known as the Sage of Youkai, which is not only an evaluation of her past achievements but also of her way of doing things. In other words, Yukari Yakumo prefers to use her brain rather than engage in physical combat, and she will absolutely avoid using her hands if possible.

This isn't because Yakumo Yukari lacks strength, but simply a habit of hers. Just as some people hate using their brains and would rather act than think, it could also mean they have no brains at all. The most typical example is the strongest character in Gensokyo, 9.

Therefore, when Yukari Yakumo and Momo directly confronted each other, Yukari had already lost half the battle, at least in terms of the situation. Yukari originally thought that by killing Momo, she had finally salvaged the situation and prevented Gensokyo from falling into another upheaval, but as it turned out, she was wrong.

Not only is Momo alive, but from the very beginning, Momo had already planned the battle between Yakumo Yukari and Momo. The hidden Gensokyo and the double barriers that would refuse entry to everyone were originally Yakumo Yukari's proud trump card. However, Yakumo Yukari never expected that she herself would become the one leading Momo into Gensokyo.

This made Yukari Yakumo feel the shame of defeat.

This is not finished.

Their second confrontation revolved around Reimu Hakurei. Having learned of Momo's identity, Yukari Yakumo was also fully aware of Momo's background. Because of this, an irreconcilable conflict arose between them regarding Reimu Hakurei.

Yukari Yakumo would absolutely not allow Momo to see Reimu Hakurei, nor would she allow anyone to affect Reimu's current situation. This was not only because Yukari feared Momo's retaliation, but also because everything had become a critical point affecting the life and death of Gensokyo. If this critical point was shaken, Gensokyo would collapse instantly, like a tall building without support.

Yukari Yakumo will not back down.

Similarly, Yukari Yakumo knew she couldn't make Momo back down. But faced with Momo's obsession with finding Reimu Hakurei, Yukari Yakumo was temporarily at a loss for a good solution.

Forcing a fight is unlikely to work. Putting aside whether it's even possible to actually kill Momo, if two supreme beings in Gensokyo were to fight each other without regard to spell card rules, how much of Gensokyo's already small territory would be destroyed as a result?

Not to mention, Yukari Yakumo doesn't want any fighting to break out in Gensokyo. She has worked so hard to maintain the peaceful and harmonious state of Gensokyo in the past.

Thus, Yukari Yakumo could only try to restrain Momo through various means. One was using Satori Komeiji, and the other was using Reimu Hakurei to threaten Momo. After learning about Momo's character through Satori Komeiji, Yukari Yakumo exploited Momo's current kindness and reluctance, using Gensokyo as a shield—further demonstrating her ruthless methods.

At this point, Yukari Yakumo felt she had almost run out of tricks up her sleeve. After all, having allowed Momo to sneak into Gensokyo through her, the entire Gensokyo had become a burden on Yukari's shoulders. Carrying this burden, Yukari really didn't have much room to maneuver.

Moreover, Mo Mo was clearly wary of her. Mo Mo used his clone technique, which on one hand rendered Yakumo Yukari unable to use her clones and left her temporarily at a loss. On the other hand, Mo Mo's clones accompanied Tohsaka Rin and Komeiji Satoru, clearly also protecting any girl who had had close contact with Mo Mo.

Her struggle with Momo has entered a new phase. Momo has already made her move; the girls she abandoned or banished for various reasons will be summoned back to Gensokyo. How will this youkai sage respond?

"Master Zi..."

Ran Yakumo peeked out from the gap, her lips pursed as she looked at the silent Yukari Yakumo. She had never seen Yukari Yakumo so silent before. In her memory, even when the youkai sage was in danger, she was always in complete control.

But this time... the already precarious situation, coupled with Mo Mo's meddling, seems to have pushed Yakumo Yukari's courage to its limit.

"blue……"

Yukari Yakumo hesitated, knowing that Ran Yakumo was waiting for her orders. She also wanted to give Ran orders, but right now Yukari herself didn't know what to do, so how could she guide Ran?

"Lord Zi, I have a suggestion."

At this moment, the uneasy Yakumo Ran finally decided to speak her mind. She knelt down before Yakumo Yukari, the most respectful gesture she could make towards her master. This gesture clearly surprised Yakumo Yukari. How many years had it been since Yakumo Yukari and Yakumo Ran, who were like family, had used such a form of communication?

"Go ahead and tell me, I'm listening."

Yukari Yakumo did not refuse Ran Yakumo. Since Ran Yakumo had gone to such lengths, she had to listen to Ran Yakumo's opinion from all angles. After all, she, the Youkai Sage Yukari Yakumo, was not so incompetent as to not listen to the words of the person she trusted most.

Yakumo Yukari also harbored a faint hope that her shikigami, Yakumo Ran, might discover something she hadn't, which could bring her new insights.

However, Yukari Yakumo was clearly overthinking things, and a look of disappointment immediately appeared on her face.

"Lord Zi, please believe me, believe in us."

Yakumo Ran spoke earnestly, her eyes brimming with loyalty, but what she said was clearly not any opinion, but merely a direction.

"Lan, there's no need to say more, these things..."

"Master Zi!"

Ran Yakumo naturally knew what Yukari Yakumo was going to say, and knew that Yukari Yakumo would once again shoulder all the responsibility alone. But Ran Yakumo would absolutely not agree to Yukari Yakumo doing this this time, because she felt that her master was about to break down.

Yakumo Ran touched her forehead to the ground and said, "Please believe me, believe your shikigami, believe your best friend, believe your friends, believe your supporters. Since Momo is threatening the entire Gensokyo, then it is necessary for us to step out and stop him."

"Even though... we don't know enough reasons, we trust Lady Zi. As long as Lady Zi asks us, we will do our best to help her!"

Upon hearing this, Yukari Yakumo fell silent. Her words of refusal gradually sank back into her heart, because she also realized that she probably couldn't control the ever-growing number of Momo on her own.

Seeking help from partners and friends is certainly not a shameful thing. As Yakumo Ran said, even if those people do not know Yakumo Yukari's purpose and reasons, they will definitely act because of Yakumo Yukari's words.

But that's precisely why she didn't want to ask them for help!

Yukari Yakumo's hand, which was holding the parasol, trembled slightly.

There are not many people who trust her anymore... Should we continue to erode their trust, or even their lives?

"Lord Zi, please give the order!"

Yakumo Ran raised her head, her eyes fixed intently on Yakumo Yukari. Clearly, she was willing to pay any price for her master, Yakumo Yukari.

"All right……"

Yakumo Yukari sighed softly and said, "We... should go to Hakugyokurou immediately."

……

"Is this... the Forest of Magic?"

As darkness fell, before sunset, one of the five Momo arrived at the Magic Forest and summoned one of the newly recruited Heroic Spirits, Kirisame Marisa.

The reason why Kirisame Marisa was summoned first was not because Momo was the first to sense the Magic Forest, but because among the five girls, only Kirisame Marisa had the most stable emotions.

As for the other girls...

Fujiwara no Mokou, who already believes Momo is dead and plans to avenge him as his widow; Houraisan Kaguya, who previously considered Momo her father and Fujiwara no Mokou her mother, and whose only wish is to kiss her father; Izayoi Sakuya, who has completely forgotten her elegant head maid identity and is about to face the suddenly appearing young ladies; and finally, Kochiya Sanae, who carries a secret that even Yakumo Yukari finds terrifying and whose entire being has become somewhat abnormal due to the pressure… Of all these girls, which one can meet Momo calmly?

To prevent them from killing Momo after they come out, or from going berserk due to emotional outbursts, Yui is comforting them, and Momo's clones are also communicating with them one by one. Momo will not summon them until he has assessed their emotions.

After all, these girls are different from Mo Mo's previous heroic spirits. They didn't join Mo Mo entirely willingly, but rather seemed to be forced into it by some kind of mandate.

In response, Momo could only say... the blame lies with Yakumo Yukari!

Aside from these four girls, the only one left is probably the carefree and good-natured Marisa Kirisame, who doesn't care about her past at all and is just short of embarking on a magical adventure in Valhalla.

Therefore, it was naturally Kirisame Marisa who was the first to return to Gensokyo.

However, although Marisa Kirisame was full of curiosity about the Forest of Magic when she arrived in Gensokyo, with her eyes sparkling like little stars, Momo could tell that Marisa was only excited and curious, and didn't have much other emotion.

"You have absolutely no memory of it?"

Mo Mo asked softly, and Kirisame Marisa nodded, saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, didn't you already know?"

"Sakuya and I entered the afterlife as the dead, and the Hall of Heroes brought me and Izayoi Sakuya from the afterlife into the Hall of Heroes. So, the me in front of you, Kirisame Marisa, is not the same person as the Kirisame Marisa in your memories of Gensokyo."

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you won't be disappointed, will you?"

Marisa Kirisame moved closer to Momo, revealing a sly smile, as if she were joking with him. However, as the Heroic Spirit King, Momo could naturally sense the faint unease in Marisa Kirisame's heart.

Now that Kirisame Marisa knows everything, she naturally knows that all of Momo's Heroic Spirits are named figures. Although she, Kirisame Marisa, is also Kirisame Marisa, in truth, compared to the Kirisame Marisa of Gensokyo who has already died, she is at most a fake.

Moreover, even after becoming a Heroic Spirit, Kirisame Marisa did not regain her memories of Gensokyo. In other words, for her, everything about Kirisame Marisa in Gensokyo was merely the story of a different person with the same name and appearance, and Kirisame Marisa didn't even have much of a sense of identification with the character.

She isn't particularly enthusiastic about magic right now, nor does she harbor any feelings of friendship towards the girls of Gensokyo, such as Reimu Hakurei, Alice, or Patchouli. If she shares any similarity with the original Marisa Kirisame, it's that they both have a strong interest in things like sex.

However, unlike Marisa Kirisame of Gensokyo who is obsessed with magical cannons, the Marisa Kirisame who has now become a Heroic Spirit has her sights set on the various energy cannons of the Knightmare. Just before Momo summoned her, she was trying to secretly drive a standard Knightmare to the first floor of the Hall of Heroes to slaughter wild boars.

"Do not worry."

Momo reached out and patted Marisa Kirisame's head, saying, "To me, no matter what you become, you will all be lovable. Marisa, don't you have any self-awareness? Such a beautiful and lovely girl, how could I possibly have any complaints about summoning you to my side?"

Upon hearing this, Marisa Kirisame blinked, a slight blush rising to her cheeks. However, compared to Mo Mo's verbal teasing, the look of slight relief on her face was what Mo Mo was most pleased to see.

"What? So our king is a lecherous man!"

Marisa Kirisame looked shocked, but judging from her smug smile, she was clearly quite pleased that Mo Mo liked her beauty.

"My king, are you praising me like this in an attempt to win me over?"

“Just call me Momo,” Momo said, leading Kirisame Marisa deeper into the forest in search of her former dwelling. “And you’re right, I do want to win you over. My lovely Marisa, do I have that chance?”

"Hmph... This lady's conquest difficulty is A! Don't be fooled by my seemingly silly appearance. Perhaps I really was carefree before, but now I'm a powerful Heroic Spirit. If you think you can fool me, even if you're our king, watch out, I'll blast you away with one shot!"

Are you imitating your past self?

"No, don't you think this deliberate act of cuteness is adorable? I'm enhancing my allure, trying to seduce you into winning me over!"

"So you agree to let me seduce you?"

Marisa Kirisame shrugged nonchalantly and said, "I told you, my strategy is an A-level! But..."

Marisa Kirisame changed the subject and whispered in Mo Mo's ear, "If you can take down Sakuya first, the difficulty of my strategy will probably drop to C."

“Oh,” Momo asked with interest, “what level is C?”

"If you spend time with me eating, drinking, and having fun, and let me have sex with you as I please, I'll probably start to like you!"
