Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Then one for each of you. Remember the silk banner, and stay away from this big bad guy."

"Ah... yeah, I'm really good at it!"

Mugino Shizuri glanced speechlessly at Kinuhata Saiai, and seeing the wavering in her eyes, could only sigh softly. The power of the atmosphere was terrifying, coupled with the fact that everyone was at the age of budding romance, and with Momo's flirting skills, Mugino Shizuri could almost imagine what the consequences would be if Kinuhata Saiai lived with Momo for ten years.

If this were the real world, and they were to experience ten years together... by then their child would probably be in elementary school, right?

hateful!

Mugino Shizuri stormed off without looking back, seemingly indifferent to everything, yet an idea kept popping into her mind.

Ten years... If she really had to stay here for ten years, should she consider it?

"Hehe, Artoria, then I'll leave this place to you from now on. Asuna and I won't worry about these things anymore. Ten years is a long time, we should relax a bit."

Argo glanced at the seemingly dazed Momo, his eyes gleaming, then pulled Asuna along behind him. Asuna tried to struggle and resist, but when she saw that there were four Momos behind them, her legs almost gave way, and Argo practically dragged her out of the room.

Following them, one by one the girls left with varying numbers of Mo Mo. In particular, Feng Zhanbinghua was followed by a hundred Mo Mo, like an army, which made almost all the girls stare in disbelief.

Although everyone knew that Feng Zhan Binghua had taken so many Mo Mos away for experiments, the sheer scale of the event still opened a floodgate in the hearts of many girls, causing their morals to plummet.

"Do we have to do this too?"

Leila frowned, her expression full of displeasure. She was probably the only girl in Valhalla with negative feelings towards Momo. However, she couldn't refuse Artoria's orders; after all, her feelings for Artoria were nothing short of fanatical admiration.

"What's needed on the battlefield isn't just a righteous army, but also ruthless tactics to achieve victory. Leila, I know you dislike Momo, but if you want to catch up with me, there are some things you must learn and master. And Momo will be your best teacher in these areas. You need to learn all of this from Momo over the next ten years."

Leila knew she couldn't refuse, so she glanced helplessly at Anya, who was already pulling Momo's hand and walking out, saying as she went, "Then it's settled, you have to provide me with a different cake every day for the next ten years."

Momo, who was supposed to be playing the role of an NPC, suddenly became lively, smiling as he patted Anya's pink head and said, "Of course, we have all kinds of flavors and sizes, we'll definitely satisfy you."

Looking at Momo's gentle smile, everyone noticed a hint of playful provocation, causing a chill to run down their spines. No wonder Argo ran so fast; he'd already spotted them!

As for Yui... the once arrogant Yui was now curled up in a ball, crouching and covering her head in defense, receiving a series of flicks on the forehead from Mo Mo's middle finger.

"Well... alright then, I'll help Wang test his abilities properly!"

Leila's expression immediately changed. Although she disliked Momo, she held him in the same utmost respect. Momo's deeds in the world of Code Geass, and his current status, both commanded Leila's utmost respect.

So Leila grabbed Anya and fled the room as if they were escaping, leaving only Yui's exaggerated whimpering in the room for a moment.

183 Artoria's Decisive Stance

There weren't many people left in the room, and everyone looked at Mo Mo with surprise as he suddenly returned to normal. Mo Mo glanced at everyone, grinned, and said, "Is this the surprise you prepared for me, Yui?"

"Waaah... Daddy, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. But Daddy, please forgive Yui's naughtiness. Yui has grown up, and actually entered her rebellious phase!"

As she spoke, Yui appeared a little bigger, saying, "If you don't believe me, Daddy, you can see for yourself. Yui has really grown up... Oh dear!"

Momo ignored Yui's excuses and gave her a sharp rap on the head that would make her cry for three minutes. However, Momo didn't really intend to pursue the matter with Yui. Although Yui was just fooling Momo today, Momo knew that this whole thing was most likely orchestrated by Artoria, and given Artoria's personality, she must have had her reasons for doing so.

Yui immediately understood Momo's meaning. Although her eyes were filled with tears, she obediently sat on Momo's shoulder and breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Artoria came over, her smile unchanged, and asked Momo first, "How are you? Are you adjusting well?"

Mo Mo shook his head, tapping his head with his finger, and said with a troubled expression, "I just can't adapt to it."

At this moment, Mo Mo had already created over a hundred clones, essentially multitasking. Mo Mo sharing a single consciousness was like simultaneously engaging different girls in different activities. While the absolute computational load might not be enormous, it did involve multi-core processing.

Such complex calculations are best handled with a multi-core approach. Just like a multi-core computer CPU, it's much more efficient at processing multiple tasks simultaneously than a single-core CPU. However, Momo's brain and thought, or rather, the human brain and mind, ultimately only have one core, one consciousness. This is currently the obstacle preventing Momo's new abilities from being further developed.

There's a simple way to solve this problem: make each of Momo's clones independent, with their own consciousness and thoughts—essentially creating a multi-core CPU. However, Momo wouldn't do that. While a single core might be a bit more demanding, the benefit of being able to do different things with all the girls simultaneously is something Momo wouldn't refuse.

"Have you come up with a solution?"

Momo himself is considering how to overcome the limitations of his abilities. However, at the moment, Momo is more focused on the affairs of Gensokyo, so he hasn't delved too deeply into the application and development of his new abilities.

“That’s right,” Artoria nodded in reply. “The IS situation is all settled. After learning about your situation, everyone had some free time and discussed how to better utilize your abilities. Let’s take care of the immediate matters first, and then I’ll tell you the details, okay?”

Mo Mo nodded and looked at the few remaining girls in the room.

First were Nakamura Yuri, Kochiya Sanae, and Kanade. Although they had become Heroic Spirits, they clearly hadn't yet integrated into the group. Kochiya Sanae, in particular, still had a complex look in her eyes. At this point, while she wouldn't refuse Momo's orders, her relationship with him wasn't exactly close.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that several new Servants who joined Gensokyo were summoned back to Gensokyo by Momo. For Sanae Kochiya, her only acquaintance is Yuri Nakamura.

Fortunately, Yuri Nakamura's leadership qualities were enough to comfort Sanae Kochiya.

"And us, how many do we need?"

Seeing that Sanae Kochiya wasn't in high spirits, and noticing that Kanade beside her was practically a silent gourd, Yuri Nakamura took the initiative to speak. Meanwhile, Artoria smiled and replied to Momo, "One for each of you for now. If there are any more, Momo's CPU might crash. You wouldn't want Momo to call you by the wrong name when you're alone with him, would you?"

"If he did something like that, I would definitely give him a bullet!"

Yuri Nakamura adjusted her beret and said, "Alright, it's one Momo each no matter what, right? How about I take Koren with me too? We can all go together. Kanade, come on, hurry up and follow!"

With that, Yuri Nakamura, holding hands with the clueless but starry-eyed Komeiji Ren with one hand and the still hesitant Kochiya Sanae with the other, hurriedly left the room. Before leaving, she winked at Mo Mo, her eyes clearly saying: I'll finish this for you, so you'd better thank me properly later!

Mo Mo understood immediately, offering a kind smile. She decided that she and a few others would go together to properly thank Nakamura Yuri later. Nakamura Yuri was good in every way, except that she seemed to have a tendency to form groups. This kind of thinking was really undesirable for young people, so Mo Mo decided that several Mo Mos, or even more Mo Mos, would form a group with her.

In the end, only Momo and Artoria remained in the room. As if by unspoken agreement, the two walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside.

Originally, this virtual world consisted of only this room, but from the moment CC and the three Momos were the first to step out, the entire world began to change. Each girl could alter a part of this world according to her own wishes, and the desolate world has now been transformed into distinct areas.

For example, in C.C., it's a medieval garden castle; Misaki Shokuhou's area has become a seaside town; the four members of Railgun have returned to their familiar Academy City; and Kuroyukihime and Fuuko Kurasaki have created the Steel World from Accel World...

These changes are also part of the test that Artoria mentioned, because the girls are ruthlessly using Momo's computing power, constantly squeezing Momo's resources, and trying to find out all of Momo's bottom lines.

Momo covered his forehead, feeling his blood pressure spike in his head, every vein throbbing. This must be a hallucination. Even if Momo were in a virtual world, or even in Gensokyo, as a fully formed quantum being, his body wouldn't exhibit any of the abnormalities of a human body.

The reason for this hallucination is simple: Momo's computing power, constantly being exploited by the girls and continuously utilized by the virtual world, has reached its limit. This limit isn't a quantitative one—after all, Momo has the entire afterlife behind him—but rather a limit to his computing speed.

To give a simple example, imagine the entire afterlife as a reservoir, containing an almost limitless amount of water—Momo's power reserve. However, the flow rate through which Momo uses this power has reached its limit. If Momo wants to advance further, he must solve the problem of this flow rate limit.

"Are you alright, darling?"

Artoria gently pulled Momo's hand towards her. The usually composed and aloof Artoria suddenly blushed slightly, a hint of worry creeping onto her cheeks. In Momo's presence, Artoria didn't need to hide anything; she could freely express her girlish side.

Who can blame Artoria for not becoming a young married woman yet, even though she's now a married woman?

As the leader of all the girls, Artoria is actually lagging behind everyone else in this matter, which is very frustrating!

"If you really care about me, how about giving me some benefits?"

Artoria was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but instead of uttering a word of refusal, her blush deepened. She nodded gently, and the room, which had been a classroom, instantly transformed into a classical yet unfamiliar palace. Momo and Artoria sat on the large bed in the center of the palace; the luxurious quilt was clearly no ordinary item.

"This is……"

Momo turned to look at Artoria in surprise, only to find that Artoria had also changed her clothes. Although she was still wearing the blue robe that Momo was very familiar with, Momo's experienced eyes immediately noticed that there was nothing covering her under that familiar robe.

Especially Artoria's smooth, long, yet not at all slender legs were fully displayed before Momo's eyes. That beautiful, captivating white color seemed like the most precious jewel, making it impossible to look away once the eyes were on her.

“This is the palace I remember, the bed I slept in when I was King Arthur,” Artoria explained to Momo in a low voice, but she was obviously more concerned about something else, and quickly said, “How…how is it? Although I’m quite confident in myself, this is the first time…the first time a boy has seen me so closely.”

Artoria was somewhat shy, seemingly instinctively wanting to retract her exposed body. Yet, she stubbornly wanted to present her most beautiful side to Momo, and this inner conflict and struggle was evident in her peculiar choice of clothing.

But isn't this the most beautiful version of Artoria?

"Can I lick it?"

Momo made no attempt to show his interest and immediately put it into action. It wasn't until Momo's breath and tongue touched Artoria's thigh that she realized what was happening. She quickly grabbed Momo's head, turned him over, and let him rest his head on her lap.

"That's enough! The promised benefits weren't...it didn't mean that. I understand what you're thinking, and actually, I feel the same way. As your wife, we haven't taken the final step yet, and I'm anxious too."

"Are you in a hurry? But I'm not in a hurry... Ahem, let's talk this out. Put your sword down first."

Having failed to flirt with Artoria, Momo could only temporarily enjoy Artoria's lap pillow. Partly, flirting with Artoria seemed a bit too dangerous, and partly, Momo was indeed quite exhausted. The tearing pain in his brain made Momo acutely aware of his limits.

"Are you alright?"

Artoria gently massaged Momo's hands, those hands that had once gripped the Holy Sword to slay countless enemies, covered in calluses and blood, now becoming the gentlest haven, slowly soothing Momo's mind.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"Aren't you curious about what I'm up to? Aren't you angry about all the commotion I've caused today?"

Artoria pressed her face close to Momomomo's, her dazzling blonde hair obscuring Momomo's forehead, and her small lips seemed to radiate an alluring color.

184 Girls' Plans

Is this considered a temptation?

Momo reached out and stroked Artoria's cheek, his fingers tracing her lips. A hint of heat lingered between her lips, seemingly flushing Artoria's cheeks as well.

"My King Arthur, have you finally cast aside your obsession with being king today, and now you want to become a girl, and become my woman?"

In response to Momo's words, Artoria did not show any shyness. Instead, she pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, "I am your wife now, and you haven't made any gestures yet. Do you think that's normal?"

Whether Artoria's calm demeanor was feigned or not, it didn't satisfy Momo. Regardless of Artoria's background or current status, she was clearly a girl with no real experience. How could Momo allow her to act so presumptuously in front of him?

Since directly provoking Artoria had no effect, Momo decided to try a different approach. Momo turned his head slightly, his eyes darting around, seemingly becoming interested in the room that Artoria had conjured.

Momo hadn't expected Artoria to choose such a place. Seeing this familiar scene, Artoria should undoubtedly be recalling her past as King Arthur. And this was Artoria's palace; wouldn't she remember her queen Guinevere, her sister Morgana, and her and her sister's daughter Mordred?

No, I will definitely remember.

In such an environment, Artoria would vividly recall everything from her past, from learning swordsmanship to pulling the sword from the stone, from becoming King Arthur and fighting to protect her country, from being misunderstood by her Knights of the Round Table, and even from being killed by Mordred, the daughter Artoria did not acknowledge, in Camlann.

Hmm, speaking of Mordred... Momo couldn't help but wonder if there was any chance of recruiting her as a Heroic Spirit?

I reckon Mordred and Artoria will be able to get along peacefully by then. If all else fails, there's always Momo as a mediator who can help them be honest with each other.

All these memories will be like a sharp blade, cutting through Artoria's memory and revealing the past in a bloody and raw way before her eyes.

However, Artoria still did it, choosing a scene that would cause her the most torment, and then facing Momo with a dual attitude of elegance and seduction, opening everything to Momo, both her heart and her body.

What was her reason for doing that?

Will you still suffer because of the past?

Momo sighed softly, looked up at Artoria, and said in her tender eyes, "You don't need to express your feelings in this way, darling."

“No, Momo.” Artoria slowly shook her head and said, “The reason I did this is not to prove anything to you, but to face everything about myself, and then, after abandoning everything, to truly come to your side, with my heart and everything.”

"This is a farewell, but also a true rebirth. As long as you accept me, Momo... from this day forward, I am your Artoria, no longer King Arthur. The memories of being King Arthur will forever remain in the past."

"Can you...understand me?"

Artoria's voice held a slight unease. She knew that her choice would not only force her to confront everything, but would also make Momo feel awkward. After all, this was the place where she, as King Arthur, had shared a bed with her wife, Guinevere. While this might give Artoria fearless courage to face everything, it could also displease Momo.

"Don't worry," Mo Mo chuckled, "If I can't even tolerate this little thing, how can I be the husband you acknowledge? But are you really ready to truly become my wife right here?"

Momo's bluntness instantly stiffened Artoria's body. She was a complete novice in this kind of thing, and even after watching Momo's numerous "practice runs" with other girls, she had absolutely no experience. So, Artoria immediately said awkwardly, "Well... this isn't reality, is it? So it's perfectly fine to use it for a little experience. You don't have any psychological barriers, do you? Wasn't that how you dragged Xiaoxue and Lihua into this mess?"

Hearing this, Momo roughly understood. The reason Artoria made such a fuss was twofold. First, she wanted to use the current environment to completely confront everything from the past and truly step out of the shadow of King Arthur. Second, she wanted to conduct a practical exercise with Momo, and a ten-year one at that, so as not to miss the opportunity again and end up feeling awkward and uneasy herself.

This surprised Momo a little. Could it be that Artoria was also so willful?
