Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

The dragon god's enormous head thrashed about violently, like a lion shaking off water droplets. The black mud covering the dragon god's head flew off, and soon the blue dragon scales finally revealed their shape and color.

However, Yukari Yakumo didn't look at the Dragon God's body; instead, she stared blankly at the Dragon God's eye sockets. It wasn't because she wanted to discern the Dragon God's will from his eyes, but simply because there were only two large, dark holes in the Dragon God's eye sockets.

The Dragon God's eyes had long since disappeared.

"Yukari Yakumo?"

A heavy sound emanated from within the Dragon God, whose massive head turned towards Yakumo Yukari. It wasn't that it saw Yakumo Yukari, but rather that it sensed her familiar aura.

Yukari Yakumo struggled to her feet and tried to bow to the dragon, but the dragon god suddenly remembered something and shouted angrily, "How did you get here!"

"How are the survivors of my world doing now? You were ordered to protect their survival and reproduction. Did you fail?"

"Tell me, Yukari Yakumo!"

The dragon god roared without any politeness, treating Yakumo Yukari like the lowest of servants. Yakumo Yukari seemed to have anticipated this scene, and a complex, indescribable smile appeared on her lips.

"Please rest assured, Lord Dragon God, the people of Gensokyo... are all well. They have received powerful protection and no longer need to worry about being harmed."

010 This auntie is not to be trifled with.

Yukari Yakumo didn't want to say such things, but at this moment, she could only tell the Dragon God the truth.

In fact, when she said those words, Yukari Yakumo also felt a sense of relief. Whether she wanted to admit it or not, this was probably the most relaxed moment she had felt since she created Gensokyo.

Even though she was already at the end of her life at this point.

"All your people have found a stable home in the afterlife. They will thrive in the new world, and your deeds will be passed down forever."

They no longer need me, nor even you, Lord Dragon God.

Yukari Yakumo didn't say it explicitly, but she knew that the Dragon God must understand as well.

"I see, I see."

The dragon god murmured softly, though to Yakumo Yukari it still sounded like a storm. It raised its head, seemingly scrutinizing Yakumo Yukari, or perhaps gazing into the distance. The dragon god didn't keep Yakumo Yukari waiting long; its tone turned serious as it said, "Not enough."

Yukari Yakumo was slightly taken aback and said, "Not enough? What's not enough?"

“You have seen my condition. There is not much I can do for my people anymore. I tried to stop and kill the enemy that was destroying our world, but the enemy was too powerful.”

Yukari Yakumo listened quietly to the Dragon God's narration. The image of the Dragon God, once great and invincible in her mind, had long since crumbled. However, at this moment, watching the dying Dragon God arrange his affairs, Yukari Yakumo felt that the Dragon God was incredibly real.

Similarly, Yukari Yakumo felt incredibly real now.

"Lord Dragon God, if there is anything I can do to help, Yukari Yakumo will do her utmost."

There's no point in refusing anymore; if this last bit of my life can be of any use...

"Is that so? That would be wonderful."

Without the slightest hesitation, the Dragon God agreed to Yakumo Yukari's request, saying, "There's only one problem right now, and that is..."

Under Yakumo Yukari's incredulous gaze, the Dragon God hesitated. No, or rather, the Dragon God seemed to be stuck. It wanted to say something, but for some reason, it couldn't utter a word, and its words became indistinct.

What's going on?

"Lord Dragon God, are you alright?"

Yukari Yakumo hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the Dragon God's time has come?"

……

Held in Mo Mo's arms, Yagokoro Eirin stared intently at Mo Mo, as if trying to confirm whether this suddenly appearing living person was real or not.

Mo Mo naturally knew what Yagokoro Eirin was looking at; he had just been a rock. Now that he had sprung out of the rock and was embracing the swaying Yagokoro Eirin, he had to give her an explanation, didn't he?

What should I say to start this?

How can we prevent the situation from becoming awkward?

Ok……

Got it!

“Actually,” Momo looked at Yagokoro Eirin and revealed a mature smile, “I am Kaguya Houraisan’s father.”

The most awkward thing in the world is a sudden silence.

In the silence, Eirin Yagokoro's gaze toward Mo Mo held not only astonishment and surprise, but also a hint of strangeness.

"that……"

Awkward Mo Mo wanted to say something to salvage the situation, but Yagokoro Eirin burst out laughing and said, "You're Kaguya's father, but I'm Kaguya's mother."

As she spoke, Eirin Yagokoro let out a soft breath, then slumped down, leaning all her weight on Momo. This action indicated that although she and Momo were not familiar with each other at this time, they had established a preliminary relationship of trust.

As for the bond of this trust, it is undoubtedly Kaguya Houraisan.

This saddened Mo Mo greatly, as her astonishing charm had failed her in front of Yagokoro Eirin. Was it truly because Yagokoro Eirin was too old and no longer appreciated Mo Mo's excellence?

However, Mo Mo no longer dwells on this point. After all, Kaguya Houraisan has gained another mother, Eirin Yagokoro. Doesn't this mean that the relationship between Mo Mo and Eirin Yagokoro is already predetermined?

This is good, this is acceptable.

Momo was already happy to play with Fujiwara no Mokou and Houraisan Kaguya, but now that Yagokoro Eirin is also joining in, how could Momo not be happy?

"Hehehe, you can be Kaguya's mother then."

Mo Mo nodded in agreement. Yagokoro Eirin, clearly unaware of Mo Mo's deeper meaning, simply assumed he was joking. She didn't respond, but instead said, "Anyway, now that you're alright, I'm relieved. I want to thank you on Kaguya's behalf. Kaguya must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

"Yes, she really caused me a lot of trouble. But she is indeed a good child, a good child in every sense of the word."

For example, things like body shape and enthusiasm; without Kaguya Houraisan, Fujiwara no Mokou would definitely not have allowed Momo to do many things that are beneficial to her mind and body.

As Momo and Yagokoro Eirin conversed about Kaguya of Houraisan, the Dragon God's voice rang out. The Dragon God was speaking with Yukari Yakumo, and Momo and Yagokoro Eirin heard it all clearly, yet neither seemed to care about what was being said.

Until the Dragon God said that he needed Yakumo Yukari to do something, Yagokoro Eirin suddenly plunged her hand into the buttocks of the two people, into the flesh and blood of the Dragon God. At the same time, the Dragon God in front of Yakumo Yukari seemed to be paused.

At the same time, Yukari Yakumo's exclamation also rang out.

Mo Mo stared in astonishment at Yagokoro Eirin, noticing her furrowed brow. A sense of absurdity washed over Mo Mo; could Yagokoro Eirin already influence the Dragon God?

No, this is no longer influence, but... control.

"There's nothing surprising about it."

Eirin Yagokoro smiled faintly and said, "Yukari Yakumo asked me to follow and take care of the Dragon God. The powerful Dragon God was originally beyond my control. However, the Dragon God's injuries are getting worse and worse, and he even needs the power of the blood of the people of Hourai to prolong his life. In this process, there is a lot I can do."

“I’m not one to sit idly by and wait to die. I wanted to see Kaguya again, to make sure she was still alive and well. So, I tampered with the Dragon God. Over time, I’ve managed to control the Dragon God’s most crucial thoughts.”

"Unfortunately, the Dragon God is no longer of any use to me..."

Eirin Yagokoro looked regretful, but this sent a chill down Mo Mo's spine as he held her. It was then that Mo Mo realized Eirin wasn't some naive little girl, but a super pharmacist who had researched medicine for billions of years.

If you accidentally offend Eirin Yagokoro, you might not even know how you died!

Mo Mo's recent experience and the Dragon God's current appearance are the best proof.

Thankfully, at least for now, Momo appears trustworthy in Yagokoro Eirin's eyes. Momo should naturally maintain this elegant demeanor.

"what……"

Just as Mo Mo's mind was racing, Yagokoro Eirin exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Mo Mo with a serious expression and said, "It seems that we have another big problem waiting for us."

Immediately, she pulled her hand out, and the Dragon God seemed to have had a play button pressed, continuing what he hadn't finished saying.

011 The Death of Yukari Yakumo

The Dragon God seemed completely unaware of its own pause. It pondered, "I sensed the aura of a new world, a chaotic yet pure one. This must be a newly born world, still lacking in evolution and change. Such a new world is indeed a good place."

"Yes, Lord Dragon God."

Yukari Yakumo nodded respectfully and said, "That world can be called the afterlife, and it is indeed a virgin land. In the future, the survivors of our world will live a good life there, multiplying and thriving. I can be sure of that."

It's not a comfortable thing to be certain that your enemy can surpass you or replace you. However, at this moment, Yukari Yakumo becomes honest and indifferent, and can calmly accept everything.

"I trust your judgment, Yukari Yakumo."

The Dragon God didn't inquire about what had happened in the afterlife; its current state didn't allow it to do much. Instead, it cut to the chase, saying, "However, that's not enough, Yakumo Yukari. I can sense the flavor of the new world. Do you know what that means?"

Yukari Yakumo was slightly taken aback. What could this mean?

However, she quickly realized what she meant, and her already pale face turned even paler. She said, "Lord Dragon God, do you mean... since you can sense the aura of the new world here, then our enemies can do the same?"

"Yes."

The Dragon God answered decisively, "This world now has a crack in its exterior. Did you create this crack?"

Yukari Yakumo's eyes were somewhat dazed. According to the Dragon God, a crack had opened in the afterlife. This crack was undoubtedly created by Yukari Yakumo; she had forcibly summoned the Dragon God and used all her power to create the opening.

Originally, this was Yakumo Yukari's method to finally defeat Momo, but now, Yakumo Yukari has realized that what she did in the end has caused a huge problem for the residents of the afterlife and Gensokyo.

The afterlife may be exposed.

"I...it was all my fault, it was all my fault. I am willing to accept any punishment, Lord Dragon God!"

Yukari Yakumo trembled, seemingly unable to stand any longer. Her knees buckled, and she slowly knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face. She had thought that her tragic death was a punishment, but now Yukari Yakumo realized that the wrongs she had committed could not be forgiven by her own death.

If what the Dragon God said is true, and Yukari Yakumo's final madness exposed the entire afterlife to Gilgamesh's power, then what awaits the afterlife is surely the same fate as the world where Gensokyo was before.

Yukari Yakumo has already admitted that she is not as good as Momo, but she simply cannot believe that Momo could surpass the Dragon God and face a powerful enemy who almost killed the Dragon God.

What should I do?

Why is this happening?!

Before the Dragon God, all pretense and reserve of Yukari Yakumo were meaningless. Like a child in front of her parents, she began to weep for the first time for the mistakes she had made. Although she knew that such tears would not help, she could not control herself at this moment.

"Enough, Yukari Yakumo. Tears won't solve anything. Don't act like a weakling."

The Dragon God's voice carried a hint of anger. Yakumo Yukari, scolded by the Dragon God, finally suppressed her tears and looked at him with pleading eyes. As for the Dragon God's words about not putting on a weakling act, Yakumo Yukari completely ignored them.

If Yukari Yakumo wasn't weak, if Gensokyo and the entire Dragon God weren't weak, why would reality have collapsed to this extent?

From the very beginning, she was a weakling, yet she insisted on considering herself a strong one.

This is Yakumo Yukari's greatest tragedy.

“We still have some things to do, Yukari Yakumo.”

The Dragon God didn't continue to blame Yakumo Yukari; at this point, the Dragon God knew time was of the essence. It chose to believe everything Yakumo Yukari said about the afterlife, and it had no time to delve deeper or verify it. The only thing it could do was what it could do for the last surviving people it cared for.

"You have also reached the end of your life, and your power can be used by me. In the end, let's use our combined power to create another barrier, just like you did for Gensokyo."
