Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"That's enough."

Argo curled up in Momo's arms, the ferocity of the Tasmanian devil vanished, and he was now completely transformed into a curled-up hamster, enjoying the warmth in Momo's embrace.

"You've committed a heinous crime, Momo."

Reimu Hakurei tied Momo's hair into a series of bows, then tore them apart, whether out of extreme boredom or to vent her frustration, it was unclear.

“I know, so I will spend my whole life repaying her.”

"Well..."

The group continued their actions, but now, the dozens of red-named players looked at Momo and Argo with even stranger expressions. If they were somewhat amusing before, now their expressions were truly unfriendly.

Don't forget, there are already very few girls in SAO, and most of them are taken into the Rose Garden. You rarely see girls on the streets. You can imagine what girls mean in the Smiling Coffin.

Simply put, it's mythology, it's legend.

These players with red names haven't seen any girls, or even any females, for months. The image of girls has become blurred in their minds, and they've almost forgotten that women even exist.

Unfortunately, Sword Art Online is a world of swords and sword skills, and there is no magic in this world. Otherwise, Laughing Coffin would definitely not only be a murder guild, but also a pure paradise for part-time fire-type archmages.

Several tens of minutes later, the surrounding scenery gradually blurred, and a mist rose; this was the Misty Forest.

Originally, this place was just a place for Smiling Coffin to ambush Momo, but after getting familiar with everything here, PoH and Smiling Coffin players really fell in love with it and made it a base.

In fact, if it weren't for Momo's incident, and the game had continued, with the strategy team moving away from the 22nd floor, this place might have even become the headquarters of the Smiling Coffin.

After all, the environment and monsters here mean there are definitely few players, which makes it easier for red-named players to hide and deal with any intruders.

Argo shuddered. The exquisite sensory experience of SAO made her feel that the surrounding atmosphere was gradually cooling down, as if she were enveloped in a mist.

This feeling was not unfamiliar to her; she had even experienced it not long ago. She remembered it vividly because it was in that environment that she and Asuna almost had their first falling out, and it was there that everything that happened today began.

This is the Misty Forest.

Have we arrived yet?

Argo asked softly, a hint of sadness in his voice.

"Yes, Argo, the Misty Forest. Whatever you do, whether it's hiding your tracks or murder and robbery, this is the best place, a natural sanctuary for those in the shadows."

"Yes!"

Argo sighed softly, then suddenly laughed and said, "Momo, I suddenly regret it. If I had known this day would come, I should have agreed to your request long ago."

"Promise me what?"

"Be your lover! At least... if I had just agreed that day, we could have enjoyed a few more days of happiness! But I hesitated and couldn't make up my mind."

"Now that's great, even if we wanted to have an affair, we can't, right? After all, we've already arrived at our destination."

Mo Mo smiled and looked at PoH, who was not far away. PoH looked impatient, picking at his ear. It seemed that even someone as eccentric as him was getting impatient.

Just then, PoH's eyes lit up, and he gestured with his chin toward Sasha, who had red eyes. Sasha was startled, then looked toward Argo as PoH instructed.

Argo kept his eyes closed, whether out of fear or a desire to savor the tenderness of the moment more fully, it was hard to tell.

Sasha, with his red eyes, blinked, thought for a few seconds, and then showed a look of sudden realization. He then grinned mischievously, pulled his subordinate aside, and whispered something in his ear.

The subordinate, who had initially looked displeased, suddenly brightened up upon hearing Sasha's words. A bright flame ignited in his red eyes, and a certain fighter's mentality awakened within him.

Soon, the news spread like wildfire, and dozens of people knew what to do, smiling as they pulled out their weapons.

"Looks like we've arrived!"

PoH stopped and turned to face Momo.

Momo looked at PoH with amusement, and roughly understood what they were going to do.

Upon hearing PoH's words, Argo shuddered, pursed his lips, and finally managed a bitter smile.

Argo opened his eyes.

"Hey, Momo, put me down. At least let me stand with you now."

Argo helped Momo to his feet, took a deep breath, and smiled at PoH, saying, "Hey, boss of the red-named players, are you planning to make a move?"

After saying that, she hugged Mo Mo's waist again, pressed her face against Mo Mo's chin, and said, "You can kill people, but you can't separate us. You have to control the extent of the damage so that Mo Mo and I can leave at the same time, otherwise..."

"Even as a ghost, I won't let you go. I'll sneak into your dreams and devour your soul!"

As PoH listened to Argo's words, he suddenly lost interest. He realized at that moment that no matter what he did, nothing would change.

However, if I don't do something... I feel inexplicably annoyed!

“Oh, Miss Argo. Since we dare to kill, we are certainly not afraid of ghosts and spirits. If you want to scare us with such petty tricks, it will definitely not work.”

PoH brandished his machete and said, "Mormo is definitely going to die, but Miss Argo doesn't necessarily have to..."

In response to PoH's words, dozens of red-named players chuckled softly, seemingly waiting for Argo to betray them.

"do not want!"

Argo curled his lip and said, "I'm going to die with Momo. Anyone who tries to stop me, I'll bite you!"

PoH's expression was strange, and a rather absurd feeling arose in his mind.

Miss Argo, it seems like we're discussing a very serious issue like life and death, but it feels more like we're having a casual chat about what to eat and whether we should eat.

Sasha, with his red eyes, glanced at his guild leader with some sympathy. He suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time his guild leader had suffered a setback. There was no way to deal with it; Argo was completely slippery and impossible to attack!

When facing someone who is ready to die, it doesn't matter what you use to threaten her.

PoH pointed a machete at the red-eyed Sasha, who immediately shut up, put on a serious face, and continued to wait for his guild leader to suffer a setback.

PoH twirled his machete as he pondered his next move. At that moment, Momo was watching him, and PoH sensed that this was a test from Momo, a test of whether he could find Argo's weakness.

Suddenly, PoH's eyes lit up and he smiled.

"So, Miss Argo, would you like to join our Red Name Guild?"

"No, you guys are disgusting."

PoH felt a tightness in his chest, his face darkening, and said, "Let me finish! Although our goal is to execute Mo Mojun, there's no rush."

"How about this, Miss Argo, if you're willing to kill one person a day, we'll let Momo live one more day. Do you agree to this condition?"

PoH looked at Argo with a mocking expression, then waited for Argo to be tested by humanity and tormented by it.

Then Argo pulled out a dagger, and PoH received Argo's membership application.

"You should have said so earlier, guild leader, no, big brother, who should we chop up today?"

"Should we go and kill that Heathcliff first? I really hate that sleazy middle-aged man!"

Seeing Argo blinking with an innocent and carefree look, PoH felt a slight chill. He looked at Mo Mo with some admiration, sighed, and said, "Fine, boss, she's your woman after all. I'm at my wit's end."

Author's Note:

Book Recommendations: Have anyone read "Chuunibyou Must Be an Absolute Ability User", "One Piece: The Dance of the Devil", and "My Imperial Arms Doesn't Apply Common Sense"? They're all from Qidian! So this time it's another veteran author, Kakine Teitoku, nicknamed "Second Sister", whose work is "Heroic Spirits of Different Worlds". It's one of the few game novels on Shuke. Although it's disguised as fan fiction, the content is entirely original, and updates are relatively slow, but you can choose to let it accumulate.

Also, thank you to Kara Zo-El for the 100-point donation. With 250 recommendation votes, I'll add an extra chapter today, and the next one will be 500. (??`ω′?)

100 Hug me, Momo!

"boss?"

Argo looked at the word with some confusion, then turned to look at Momo.

Mo Mo smiled slightly. Although PoH is a talented person, he is not very old. To be able to establish and maintain a guild in SAO, and to bewitch dozens or even hundreds of people, to bring out the evil thoughts in their hearts and turn them into red names, that is the limit.

Rather than committing evil, it's more accurate to say that their chaotic state stemmed from a fit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), coupled with SAO's lawless environment and unique system, which led them to become a group of executioners within the game.

Simply put, in reality, most of these people, except for a very few, would probably not dare to kill anyone, and might even be good kids in real life.

Everyone has a beast within them, and these red-named players unleashed that beast within them because of the SAO environment. This isn't a reason to exonerate them, but it is a reason to observe and understand them.

PoH still has a long way to go before truly becoming a demonic figure, and there is still room for improvement.

Hmm... why does this evaluation feel so unserious?

"Mo Mo... what exactly is going on..."

Argo stared at Momo in astonishment, a hint of white appearing on his face. Why was Momo called the boss by players from the red-named guild?

“Argo, at least one thing I can assure you is that I am also a victim of this game, as are they.”

"But...all of this..."

“It’s not all the way you imagine. Everything we do today has its purpose. If all goes well, then we may be freed from this game.”

Argo's face was still blank; she couldn't make sense of the situation, but she realized one thing: Momo wasn't really in danger of dying, and everything she had done seemed meaningless.

"But……"

Argo's expression changed drastically. He said, "Asuna... Asuna knows everything? She knows all of this!"

Momo looked at Argo with sincere eyes; he wouldn't lie to the girl he liked.

"Yes, Asuna knows a lot; at least she knows that everything we're doing today is necessary."

An eerie silence echoed through the dense forest. PoH looked at his boss with amusement, wanting to see how his boss would handle the impending outburst.

"So……"

Argo's body almost went limp, and Momo quickly hugged him. Looking at Argo, Momo's eyes were confused and bewildered.

"What am I anyway...?"

"I'm going to die! I'm going to die! Momo's going to get hacked to death! Come quick!"

Reimu Hakurei gloated on the sidelines, but Momo ignored her. Momo carefully observed Argo's emotional changes, and at this moment, Argo was truly lost in confusion.

"Everything I've done, everything I've done, my choices—what am I anyway..."

Mo Mo felt deeply apologetic, but at that moment, he knew it was time for him to do something.

"I'm sorry, Argo, I kept it from you before, but not only you, even Asuna didn't know much!"

Argo turned to Momo, his eyes pleading for comfort.

Momo looked into Argo's eyes and understood.

"PoH, take everyone to rest. Here are some supplies I brought with me beforehand, so you can celebrate a bit."

Momo clicked on the inventory, and a long list of high-end drinks and food appeared, immediately attracting the attention of all the red-named players. Even PoH couldn't help but lick his lips.
