Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The answer is, of course, yes.

"After I complete my mission, you and Yui can't stop me from firing the cannons. Whether it's bronze cannons, iron cannons, steel cannons, or Mauser pistols, mountain guns, howitzers, energy cannons, or warship main guns, they're all mine, and I'm going to fire them one by one, time by time!"

Mo Mo sighed helplessly. It seemed that Kirisame Marisa had deeply entered a "cannon-feeding" mode. This made Mo Mo feel a little afraid of her. Once he actually won her over, would his little fire cannon suffer from all-around attacks for twenty hours a day?

No, how can you sigh at a time like this?

Momo suddenly perked up, realizing that Kirisame Marisa's love for cannons was probably beyond redemption. In the afterlife, she had spent countless hours dealing with artillery and had become deeply fascinated by it. Therefore, to change Kirisame Marisa's tastes and correct her values, Momo had to use even more powerful cannons to distract her.

In an instant, Mo Mo felt a heavy weight on his shoulders; the task ahead was arduous and the road ahead was long!

"No problem, all the cannons in the entire Hall of Heroes, regardless of their type or quantity, are mine and you can fire them at will!"

"Pah, do you think I can't understand?"

Momo's words earned her a smirk and an eye roll from Kirisame Marisa, who then turned and walked towards the door, intending to see the owner of the house. However, at this point, she and Momo had already decided that the owner was the only magician who could manage the entire house and the garden in front of it so well.

Possessing the power to manipulate puppets with exquisite precision, the puppets she creates can perform household chores such as cooking, laundry, and cleaning. When needed, the puppets can also participate in battles. This person was originally a close friend of Kirisame Marisa, and was even suspected of having inappropriate feelings for her, becoming a girl who had become a planned member of Kirisame Marisa's harem.

Alice Megatron!

Ah, no, it's Alice Margot Lloyd.

Like Marisa, Alice is a mage training in the Forest of Magic. However, unlike Marisa, who uses all her magic to fire cannons, Alice focuses all her attention on making dolls and caring for Marisa. Their relationship inevitably leads one to speculate about romantic relationships, but perhaps only the pure-hearted Marisa from the original Gensokyo remains completely oblivious.

"that……"

After taking two steps, Marisa Kirisame stopped, looking at Mo Mo with a strange expression, and said, "Do I really have to do this mission?"

However, the current Kirisame Marisa is no longer the Kirisame Marisa of the past. Knowing all the information about Gensokyo, and having even secretly read many short comics depicting Gensokyo's love scenes from Yui, she naturally understands very well what she will encounter when she meets Alice again.

Of course, everything that comes out of Yui's hands is about Momo, without a doubt. Yui even occasionally creates some short comics to depict the deep father-daughter relationship between her and her father.

"Are you worried she'll eat you? Even if you're not as strong as you used to be, you should be more than capable of dealing with Alice. If all else fails, I'll have Binghua empower Kuroko's spatial abilities right now?"

"No, that's not true! Hmm..."

Marisa Kirisame glared at Mo Mo with displeasure. Looking at his grinning face, she knew he knew what she was thinking. But Mo Mo, with a straight face, didn't delve into it, nor did he use this opportunity to improve her image; he clearly wanted to see her make a fool of herself.

"Damn it, watch out or I'll cheat on you, hmph!"

Marisa Kirisame gave a cold snort, then walked to the door with a stiff face and a look of resolute determination. Just as she raised her arm, hesitating whether to open the door, it was suddenly flung open, and Alice appeared in the doorway with a shocked expression.

She stared blankly at Kirisame Marisa, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing. Even the two dolls she controlled, the Hourai doll and the Shanghai doll, seemed to come alive with their dull eyes, looking at Kirisame Marisa with incredulous expressions.

That look made Kirisame Marie's sofa fur instantly waver again, and she wanted to back away. But when she glanced sideways at Momo, Momo was smiling brightly, waving at her while silently backing away.

Mo Mo is... trying to run away!

Momo pushed her next to Alice and then decided to just run away without a care in the world!

The helplessness she felt moments before instantly turned into anger. She knew that Mo Mo was just waiting to see her make a fool of herself, to see Alice, whom she mistook for an old friend returning, utterly embarrassed. She guessed that Mo Mo would then appear in a detached manner, both to help her out of the predicament and to give Alice a favorable first impression.

That's absolutely right, Momo! I, Marisa, have figured out your tricks!

So, Marisa Kirisame, who had just wanted to run away, now wanted to openly approach Alice, gain her trust, and ultimately protect her from falling into Momo's clutches!

Alice was, after all, a nominal friend of Kirisame Marisa. How could she let Momo just casually take her away like that?

"Marisa!"

At this moment, Alice, who had been in shock, finally came to her senses and threw herself into Kirisame Marisa's arms, hugging her tightly so tightly that Kirisame could hardly breathe. At the same time, an unnatural blush appeared on Kirisame Marisa's face. It turned out that Alice's embrace reminded her of the wretched state she had just been in after being massaged by Momo.

"Um... I'm here. Can we talk inside?"

Marisa Kirisame gently comforted Alice, words the old Marisa would never have said. However, Alice, overwhelmed with emotion, was completely oblivious to these details. The resurrected Marisa Kirisame appearing before her was a miracle beyond her comprehension.

Faced with such a miracle, Alice was completely powerless to resist. She was pulled into Alice's house by Marisa Kirisame, who then slammed the door shut.

This is most likely a show of defiance towards Momo.

Unfortunately, Marisa Kirisame was completely unaware that the motivation she suddenly had—to shut Momo out and to complete the mission—was actually exactly what Momo wanted.

Since Marisa Kirisame is able to complete Momo's mission well, Momo doesn't need to intervene. As for Marisa Kirisame's desire to protect Alice... Momo believes that once Momo lowers the difficulty of conquering Marisa Kirisame and wins her over, the difficulty of conquering Alice, who is at S difficulty, will most likely also decrease to C difficulty.

There's no way around it, the magical girl Marisa Kirisame is just too charming! DA☆ZE!

However, there was another reason why Momo didn't act with Kirisame Marisa, besides the reasons mentioned above: he had been invited.

A faint aroma of wine lingered around Mo Mo's nose and mouth, seemingly inviting him to a banquet that had just begun. Moreover, Mo Mo had no right to refuse this banquet; otherwise, he would be seen as a cowardly human, or someone who disrespected the Ghost Clan, and would be shunned by them, or even attacked directly.

That's right, it was the Ghost Clan that invited Mo Mo.

Mo Mo followed the aroma of the wine, turning several corners until she finally saw the person who had invited her.

She is typically blonde with red eyes, but her most striking features are the single horn on her forehead and the chains around her wrists and ankles. Another notable characteristic is the Hoshiguma glass she always carries, a large glass capable of holding a liter of sake and believed to enhance its quality.

Her name is Hoshiguma Yuugi, and her nickname is Red Three, which means "red with horns and three times faster".

Hoshiguma Yuugi, a member of the Oni race in Gensokyo, possesses immense strength, making her one of the strongest in the land. She has a forthright personality, enjoys facing powerful opponents, and shows no mercy to cowardly or cunning enemies.

However, more than Hoshiguma Yuugi's reputation and temperament, Momo was more concerned about why she was here. Moreover, Hoshiguma Yuugi had just extended an invitation to Momo, which could also be interpreted as a threat—a threat to prevent Momo from getting close to Alice.

"sit down."

Hoshiguma Yuugi herself was sitting on the ground. She pointed to a rock not far in front of her, clearly showing her politeness by leaving a rock for Momo. However, there was not a trace of negotiation in her tone; it was entirely a command.

Mo Mo smiled slightly. Through his connection with Komeiji Satori, he already knew about 70-80% of Hoshiguma Yuugi's background. Therefore, Mo Mo wasn't angry at Hoshiguma Yuugi's tone; instead, he felt a little excited.

Because the first supporter of Yakumo Yukari appeared before him, and that person was Hoshiguma Yuugi of the Oni Clan.

The demon race does not lie.

Instead of sitting down directly on the ground as Hoshiguma Yuugi had suggested, Mo Mo waved his hand, and the flat ground instantly transformed into a perfectly decorated floor and square table. Even Hoshiguma Yuugi now had a table full of exquisite snacks to go with his drinks.

"Oh, what an amazing ability! I finally believe what Yukari Yakumo said. Your ability is peculiar and difficult to deal with."

While Hoshiguma Yuugi verbally expressed her amazement at Mo Mo's abilities, her hands were anything but slow. She showed no mercy to Mo Mo, and despite the fact that the two had barely exchanged a few words upon meeting, Hoshiguma Yuugi was already eating heartily without any restraint.

Aren't you afraid there might be poison in it?

"If it's truly poisonous, you'll taste the wrath of our demon race. Alright, sit down and eat. Why be so polite? You provided this; wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't eat it?"

Mo Mo sat down cross-legged as instructed, but had no appetite for the food. Only after Hoshiguma Yuugi had sampled all the food on the table and taken a large gulp of sake did she ask, "Did Yakumo Yukari send you? And what is your purpose?"

As she spoke, bottles of fine wine appeared at Hoshiguma Yuugi's feet, instantly brightening her eyes.

Hoshiguma Yuugi's Hoshiguma Cup can only enhance the quality of sake, unlike Ibuki Suika's sake gourd, which can provide an unlimited supply of fine sake. Therefore, Hoshiguma Yuugi's desire for sake even surpasses that of Ibuki Suika.

“That’s right. It was Yukari Yakumo who sent me to keep an eye on you, so that you wouldn’t do anything to Alice again. Alice is someone from the Demon World. Although that person’s whereabouts are currently unknown, it seems that Yukari Yakumo owes that person a favor, so she has to take good care of Alice.”

Hoshiguma Yuugi's honesty was several times greater than Momo had imagined. She told Momo everything she knew almost directly, which surprised Momo.

They truly live up to their reputation as demons.

"So, Hakurei Shrine Maiden's husband, as long as you stay here and drink with me, there won't be any conflict between us."

"Come on, cheers!"

158 That's enough, just say what you have to say!

Hoshiguma Yuugi raised his wine cup high, his scarlet eyes staring directly at Momo.

This is a toast from the Ghost Clan, and it's from the Ghost Clan's Heavenly King, so Mo Mo has no choice but to accept it.

The Oni race reveres strength and enjoys drinking. Their straightforward nature naturally makes them drawn to humans who share these interests. However, they won't bully or despise the weak among humans. Only those who are not only powerless but also cowardly and cunning are despised by the Oni.

Therefore, when facing the Oni clan, everyone must demonstrate their strength. And the best way to get along with the Oni clan is undoubtedly through drinking. An Oni's toast is something that cannot be refused under any circumstances, even if one has no tolerance for alcohol. Otherwise, it will be considered disrespectful to the Oni clan.

If someone is considered disrespectful to the nobles, they will likely be ostracized by the demon race and suffer the same treatment as those cowardly and cunning enemies.

Mo Mo did not refuse Hoshiguma Yuugi's toast. He also conjured a large wine glass, sat on the ground like Hoshiguma Yuugi, and slowly poured himself a glass of white wine.

In his previous life, Mo Mo's alcohol tolerance wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. Now that he's a Heroic Spirit, Mo Mo has countless ways to drink without getting drunk if he wanted to, but when facing Hoshiguma Yuugi, Mo Mo didn't use any tricks; instead, he purely relied on his body to resist the power of alcohol.

"Ding!"

With a soft clinking sound, Hoshiguma Yuugi grinned, downed the sake in her large cup in one gulp, and then exhaled a refreshing breath of sake. Generally speaking, although Hoshiguma Yuugi was a hearty drinker, she wouldn't drink like this, since no one in Gensokyo could provide her with an unlimited supply of sake.

Even Ibuki Suika couldn't do that. Although Ibuki Suika's Ibuki Ladle was made of sake worms, which could turn a small amount of sake into a large amount, thus achieving an effect of unlimited sake supply, the sake worms' production speed was also limited. Providing enough sake worms for Ibuki Suika to drink from time to time was the limit.

If Hoshiguma Yuugi really drank freely from Ibuki Suika's sake gourd, even the biggest sake addicts would be drained dry by Hoshiguma Yuugi's generosity.

However, now that Hoshiguma Yuugi has come to Momo's side and is looking at the drinks that Momo has conjured up, she finally believes that Yakumo Yukari has not lied to her. The strange human in front of her, the husband of the Hakurei Shrine Maiden, has the ability to turn decay into magic, and even to create things out of thin air.

With such abilities, wouldn't it be incredibly easy for someone to manufacture some alcoholic beverages?

Based on this alone, Momo's favorability rating with Hoshiguma Yuugi has reached at least "friendly".

Mo Mo, on the other hand, was much more refined. Intending to truly drink with Hoshiguma Yuugi, he had to control his alcohol intake, otherwise he would soon be drunk. Hoshiguma Yuugi noticed this but didn't mind at all; as long as Mo Mo drank, it was a sign of respect for her.

Mo Mo was undoubtedly well aware of Hoshiguma Yuugi's feelings. That's why Mo Mo directly drank with Hoshiguma Yuugi to show his sincerity. It didn't matter if he couldn't keep up with her drinking capacity; what mattered was sincerity, and sincerity could be demonstrated by providing Hoshiguma Yuugi with an unlimited supply of fine wine.

The two of them drank together, one bowl at a time. Hoshiguma Yuugi's large sake cup was enough for her to drink a whole bottle of sake in one go, while Momo always managed to bring out various types and vintages of sake for Hoshiguma Yuugi to taste, and there was never a bottle that was the same.

And so, Mo Mo drank half a bottle, her cheeks flushed slightly, while Hoshiguma Yuugi probably drank a hundred or so bottles; the bottles behind her could form a bed.

Even Hoshiguma Yuugi, a demon king, was now reeking of alcohol. Although Hoshiguma Yuugi's eyes remained clear, Mo Mo could sense that in their silent drinking, Hoshiguma Yuugi's hostility and wariness towards Mo Mo were gradually diminishing.

Indeed, alcohol is a powerful tool for winning people over!

It's only because Mo Mo is such an honest and simple person that he wouldn't use alcohol as a powerful weapon when pursuing girls. Otherwise, how many of the heroic spirits around Mo Mo could withstand a bottle of Erguotou?

"You're really funny."

Hoshiguma Yuugi finally spoke. At first, the two drank in silence, more like a clash of egos. But that clash of egos had long since vanished with the aroma of the sake, and even Hoshiguma Yuugi had almost forgotten his initial wariness of Momo.

This is the straightforwardness of the Oni race. After being tested by alcohol, Hoshiguma Yuugi clearly felt that Momo was indeed a straightforward person. Even though Momo's alcohol tolerance was still not high, that's just human nature, it's understandable!

"You're completely different from what Yakumo Yukari said. At least so far, I haven't seen you use any schemes or tricks, nor have I seen you have any improper thoughts about that little girl Alice. Your abilities are indeed unbelievable to me, but even though you are powerful, you don't seem like the kind of person who would harm Gensokyo."

"Hey, Momo, how exactly did you and Yakumo Yukari become enemies?"

Mo Mo smiled faintly, savoring Hoshiguma Yuugi's words.

Without a doubt, in Hoshiguma Yuugi's eyes, Reimu Hakurei still exists, still the Hakurei Shrine Maiden; otherwise, she wouldn't have calmly uttered the words "Reimu Hakurei's husband." Conversely, if Hoshiguma Yuugi knew that Reimu Hakurei had become Rin Tohsaka, and that the real Reimu Hakurei had been used for some unknown purpose by Yukari Yakumo, she would never have spoken to Momo in this way.

Because such words are undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to provoke and anger Momo by knowing his scars and using his current situation—a cunning and despicable act that the Oni clan despises most. If Hoshiguma Yuugi truly wanted to be Momo's enemy, he would have simply punched him without uttering any further words.

"She hates me. She thinks I will bring harm to Gensokyo. She thinks I will shake Gensokyo under her control and destroy the original peace of Gensokyo. That's probably the reason."

Mo Mo calmly stated his opinion, which made Hoshiguma Yuugi raise an eyebrow and ask, "So, would you do that?"

“I wouldn’t have done it before, but now that I have this idea, it’s very likely to happen next.”

Hoshiguma Yuugi was taken aback by what she heard, seemingly not understanding. However, she then laughed heartily, drank the wine in her cup in one gulp, and silently refilled it.
