Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Are you implying that I'm incompetent?

Ryoko Asakura's expression also turned cold. She said, "Haruhi Suzumiya, you can insult my character, but please don't insult my serious work ethic. It's fine if you don't like me, but in terms of strength, I'm not much weaker than Yuki Nagato. My supporters haven't been particularly lenient with Yuki Nagato in this regard!"

"I haven't left here until now, and everything I've done has been according to your instructions. I've never acted on my own initiative! If you really want to know why I was discovered, you should look at it from your own perspective!"

"What, me?"

Faced with the assertive Ryoko Asakura, Haruhi Suzumiya found it hard to maintain her dominance.

"That's right!"

"Contacting Reimu Hakurei was your idea, and the little black girl Reimu Hakurei brought back was also your idea, making me scout the surroundings, which led to me falling into that Momo's trap just now. This can't be considered my fault. This is all the information we communicate with the outside world, and we were only discovered for these few reasons."

As she spoke, Ryoko Asakura pointed to the void, and images appeared one after another, showing Mo Mo riding the Dragon God until the Dragon God died and turned into light.

"Moreover, judging from these images, it is very likely that Momo killed the god of this world and obtained the secrets and information of this world from it. In that case, it would not be surprising if we outsiders were discovered by this administrator no matter how well we hide."

Ryoko Asakura's reasoning was so sound that Haruhi Suzumiya was instantly speechless. Haruhi Suzumiya took a deep breath, knowing that this was not the time to argue with Ryoko Asakura, and said, "In other words, it can be confirmed that we have been discovered, and he is after us."

"Yes, we've been discovered, and we're in danger."

"Are you kidding me?"

Reimu Hakurei seemed to have her tail stepped on, and said, "I'm afraid of him? Even if he's the administrator, I possess supreme divine power, and I have enough strength..."

Under Ryoko Asakura's scrutinizing gaze, Haruhi Suzumiya, who had been so confident, fell silent. She knew that her supreme divine power would likely be ineffective against the fully armed Momo.

Her power was already an extremely difficult ability to control, and currently a significant portion of that power is still being used to fight Gilgamesh. How could she possibly use it to deal with Momo?

"But are we just going to leave like this, just let this manager go? This is a golden opportunity, an opportunity like this..."

"It's not that we let the other side off the hook, it's that the other side let us off the hook."

Ryoko Asakura interrupted Haruhi Suzumiya without any politeness, saying, "Are you confident in your ability to deal with that administrator? Even if you and I can resist that power to charm others, can others do it? Mikuru Asahina is still unconscious and muttering about her child who doesn't even exist."

"hateful!"

Suzumiya Haruhi gasped, then bit her lower lip, appearing extremely suppressed. Asakura Ryoko's words struck at Suzumiya Haruhi's weak spot; she hated Momo and wished she could get rid of him as soon as possible. Momo, a combination of manager and man, was practically Suzumiya Haruhi's natural enemy.

However, she now had to consider practical matters, the strength of her own side, and the safety of her family and friends. This time, she came to this world not to fight, but more to experiment with how to save those corrupted by the black mud. That's why she brought Mikuru Asahina with her. As for Mikuru Asahina, let alone her fighting ability, even a small aftershock of a battle would probably kill her.

"Is there really no other way...?"

"Let's evacuate, there's really no other way."

Ryoko Asakura shattered Haruhi Suzumiya's illusions, saying, "The most important thing right now is to try to defeat Gilgamesh. I'm still trying to contact the Crimson Denizens and waiting for their response..."

"No, no need."

This time, it was Haruhi Suzumiya's turn to interrupt Ryoko Asakura, saying, "The Crimson World is always unpredictable; who knows what they're thinking? Besides, after what happened in Academy City, they clearly had an unclear relationship with Momo, the administrator. They're not trustworthy!"

"Even if they are not trustworthy, we should at least rely on their strength for the time being, otherwise we may not be able to resist Gilgamesh."

“Indeed, we cannot fight Gilgamesh head-on, but... we have our own plans, don’t we?”

A flicker of struggle crossed Haruhi Suzumiya's eyes, quickly replaced by determination. Seeing this, Ryoko Asakura's eyes widened in disbelief as she said, "Are you really going to carry out that plan? Are you serious? You know, if it fails, the people who go there will never come back."

“That’s Gilgamesh’s…”

"You don't need to say anything more, I've already made up my mind."

Haruhi Suzumiya clenched her fist and said, "One Gilgamesh was enough, and now there's another administrator. We have no other choice. Let's hurry up and prepare. This is our best chance. After we defeat Gilgamesh, we'll come back and deal with this administrator!"

“Alright,” after a long silence, Ryoko Asakura finally nodded in agreement, saying, “I will inform everyone to prepare for the transfer and select capable people to go there with you. But please remember, Commander…”

"You are our commander, the commander of the SOS Brigade, the core of all of us. Even if you fail to defeat the enemy, we will not blame you. Your leadership is the most important thing to us, please do not take any risks."

Haruhi Suzumiya looked at Ryoko Asakura with some surprise, seemingly not expecting her to say such a thing. However, Haruhi Suzumiya also laughed, crossed her arms, and said, "Don't worry, who do you think I am? I am Haruhi Suzumiya, the great and invincible leader of the SOS Brigade!"

"Yes, yes, yes, great and invincible SOS Brigade leader, now let's start studying how to escape."

"It's not an escape, it's a transfer, a retreat!"

"Alright, alright, let's move! Let's move!" Ryoko Asakura shrugged and echoed Haruhi Suzumiya, saying, "Then, Commander, before we escape, could we do something a little more? For example, let this administrator have a few minor clashes with Gilgamesh?"

……

"No one's responding, Momo. Are you sure this is the right place?"

Gaia, looking at Mo Mo who was still knocking on the door with a bored expression, said, "Why don't you knock a few more times, or just bang on the door? Anyway, they don't like you at all, so it doesn't matter if their hatred level goes up by several tens of percentage points, right?"

"Yes, I agree with that. I don't care how low the favorability rating is. I've given up hope on Haruhi Suzumiya."

Momo shrugged, first agreeing with Gaia, then said, "There's just one small problem: it's not just that they're ignoring me; I have a feeling they might have already run away."

“Using what I learned from the Dragon God, I can sense that there is something here that is an anomaly to this world. And within this anomaly, there are many living energy bodies. Right now, these energy bodies are gathering in an orderly manner toward a certain location, which is most likely in preparation for their departure.”

At this moment, Momo, who was talking to himself, had a somewhat charlatan-like air about him. However, Gaia could sense that Momo's power was gradually coming into contact with and merging with this world, making Momo and the world become one. This merging was most evident in the original Dragon God, giving the impression that the Dragon God and the world were one.

Now, having inherited the knowledge of the Dragon God, Momo is gradually moving towards that state. If this world hadn't been polluted by the black mud, and if Momo had been given enough time, perhaps one day he would become the new god of this world.

Despite being fully aware of all this, Gaia didn't bother to offer any guidance to Momo. In any case, Momo's own initiative in learning from the Dragon God indicated that Momo had already grasped many things.

Therefore, Gaia just needs to keep acting cute, making sarcastic remarks, begging to be taken care of, and asking to be conceived!

Hmm, it seems I've accidentally thought of some really impressive words.

"Doesn't this mean your Reimu is going to run off with someone else too? Reimu doesn't recognize you anymore. If you don't hurry, it'll really be too late!"

Gaia's eyes flickered, reminding Momo of this point, and her words seemed to awaken him from his dream.

Haruhi Suzumiya is gone, but Momo's Reimu can't go with her! Also, now that Haruhi Suzumiya is gone, how will Momo complete Reimu's test and bring Reimu back to her side?

"Yes, you're right, thanks."

Momo expressed his gratitude for Gaia's reminder, and then countless quantum lights surged forth from his body. These lights converged again before Momo, eventually forming the shape of a small dragon. Upon closer inspection, this dragon bore at least a six or seven-tenths resemblance to the Dragon God.

Although many details of the little dragon are still unclear, its lively eyes and agile movements make it impossible for anyone to mistake it for an inanimate object.

This dragon was created by Mo Mo using the knowledge and experience of the Dragon God, and based on Mo Mo's own power, in an attempt to recreate all of the Dragon God's power. Currently, this dragon is still far inferior to the Dragon God, but there are some abilities that this little dragon can also possess.

For example, discovering something that doesn't belong to this world; or using one's own compatibility with the world to disrupt the existence of something that doesn't belong to this world.

This is exactly what the little dragon is doing right now. It took flight from Mo Mo's hand, circled around at high speed in the air, and then flew off in one direction. Here, Mo Mo, who has transformed into a little dragon, can sense a large number of beings that do not belong to this world gathering together—even though there is nothing around the little dragon at this moment, it is completely empty.

Immediately afterwards, the little dragon shone brightly, raised its head and roared, and with a gentle tear from its two dragon claws, it ripped open the weakest point of this power that did not belong to this world.

In an instant, a strange sense of distortion appeared, like a television screen suddenly shattering or a camera lens abruptly losing focus. Reality and illusion blurred in that instant, and the forces of the two previously distinct worlds merged together.

"Splash—"

An unseen voice emanated, and everything around them instantly began to shift and become chaotic. The land that had been covered in black mud vanished, replaced by a small, circular manor. In the center of the manor, Haruhi Suzumiya and Ryoko Asakura stood before a series of doors. Behind them, everyone, including Reimu Hakurei, had clearly already packed their belongings.

Everyone stared in astonishment, watching the marble floor gradually seep into the black mud, watching the writhing blackness in the sky, and watching Momo and Gaia, the little girl, suddenly appear before them.

They clearly didn't understand what was happening, why the barrier protecting them had suddenly disappeared, or why two strangers had suddenly appeared in front of them.

Enemy or friend?

It doesn't matter if you don't understand. For a warrior, not knowing cause and effect will not be a reason for hesitation, so Teresa took action.

"Long time no see, Mo Mojun. I find it hard to accept your appearance in this way. Has no one ever taught you that trespassing is a crime?"

The smiling Teresa continued to smile, stepping forward to block everyone's view, her fingers gripping the hilt of the small cross-shaped sword at her waist.

069 Let's cause trouble! Let's cause trouble!

At that moment, Momo realized that the smiling Denise was indeed a very good choice as a socialite. A smiling person is never disliked, and the small cross-shaped sword at her waist seemed more like decoration than a weapon, giving no sense of danger.

However, Mo Mo wouldn't underestimate her. Putting aside her status and strength as the No. 1 greatsword user, the small cross sword at her waist gave Mo Mo a sense of concentrated power. It was clearly a power different from that of this world, highly condensed within that sword.

What kind of power is this?

Has Teresa's fighting ability been upgraded?

A question flashed through Mo Mo's mind, but he immediately spotted a woman standing at the back of the crowd, seemingly unremarkable. With her elegant, demure demeanor, it was hard to associate her with strength; yet Mo Mo knew she was probably the most formidable fighter among them.

Her name is Retsu Unohana. Contrary to her outward appearance, she is the first Shinigami to hold the title "Kenpachi," one of the four captains with the longest tenure, and the founder of the Eleventh Division and its philosophy.

The only person who could subdue her was probably Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, the founder of the Gotei 13, the first Captain-Commander, the first Captain of the 1st Division, the founder of the Shinigami Academy, and the first Principal, who held absolute authority in Soul Society.

Mo Mo glanced at her calmly, but Unohana Retsu, like a wary wild beast, took a small step closer to Suzumiya Haruhi's back, seemingly afraid of Mo Mo's gaze. However, Mo Mo could sense a terrifying killing intent hidden beneath her gentle expression.

Tsk, how come they're not liked? It seems everyone in the SOS Brigade has some kind of psychological problem, otherwise why would they all give Mo Mo such a look?

These are the things that Momo is currently thinking about.

Throughout the entire process, Mo Mo did not focus her attention on Haruhi Suzumiya, nor did she make eye contact with her. Meanwhile, Haruhi Suzumiya stared intently at Mo Mo, as if she wanted to tear her apart with her gaze.

Momo completely ignored Haruhi Suzumiya, which made Haruhi's anger flare up. She instinctively tried to push Teresa aside, wanting to face Momo herself. Unfortunately, this was rudely stopped by Ryoko Asakura. She grabbed Haruhi's arm and pulled her close, glaring at her fiercely.

What are you doing!

Haruhi Suzumiya glared back at Ryoko Asakura, seemingly questioning her. However, Ryoko Asakura did not answer, but instead subtly pointed her finger lightly into the distance.

Haruhi Suzumiya was startled and looked into the distance, her face then turning to one of horror.

There, there stands a massive floating airship.

The warship was covered in black mud in many places, seemingly contaminated by it. However, near each patch of mud, there were girls dressed in small, silver-white mechs, seemingly using some kind of white light to cleanse the mud.

Surrounding the warship were countless figures dressed in various mechs, circling it around the center. In the distance, one could even see many girls in strange costumes, who seemed to be floating in the air, also looking in the direction of Haruhi Suzumiya.

This wasn't what surprised Haruhi Suzumiya the most.

As for floating warships, Haruhi Suzumiya could create them if she wanted to, and a large number of mecha legions were also within her knowledge. As for those strangely dressed flying girls, there were quite a few people on Haruhi Suzumiya's side who could fight by flying.

What surprised and baffled Haruhi Suzumiya the most was that beneath the slowly approaching warship, in its shadow, a group of Servants dressed entirely in black were following the warship step by step toward them.

In the eyes of these heroic spirits, who should have been corrupted by the black mud, an emotion called reason prevailed. Although their expressions varied—some ferocious, some calm, some in pain, some bewildered—it was clear they had all regained at least a sliver of rationality. Furthermore, these heroic spirits were all following the airships, driven by their own reason.

These heroic spirits... seem to have been healed?

Even if they weren't cured, it's clear they've recovered considerably. And all of this is clearly the work of Momo, the manager in front of Haruhi Suzumiya and the others.

Mo Mo... he can actually restore these heroic spirits!

And this is something that Haruhi Suzumiya has always wanted to do, but has never been able to!

Damn!

Suzumiya Haruhi bit her lip and began telepathically communicating with Asakura Ryoko, saying, "This Mo Mo seems to do more than just charm others; his abilities may directly involve reason and soul. Otherwise, how could he restore the sanity of those crazed Heroic Spirits?"

“In that case, I have to be even more careful. I absolutely cannot let him seize any opportunity.” Ryoko Asakura’s voice also became unusually serious. She said, “Captain, don’t do anything impulsive. Even if you can withstand his power, you have to think about everyone behind you.”

"You don't want everyone to become his laborers, do you?"
