Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Perhaps they changed from being viviparous to being oviparous?"

Okay, not only is she pregnant with a child, but she's also pregnant with an egg that's still a ball!

It seemed like an explanation, but Haruhi Suzumiya immediately exploded, saying, "But I haven't been in contact with any men at all! I'm not lying! If you still don't believe me, I'll use my ability to make you believe me!"

By this point, no one believed that Haruhi Suzumiya was still lying. Ryoko Asakura and Yuki Nagato exchanged a glance and said, "The second possibility is that during our journey through worlds, you might have been influenced or cursed by some force, which caused your body to mutate. For example, a curse that makes anyone you glare at pregnant?"

Ryoko Asakura's tone was slightly teasing, but the possibility did exist. After all, there are so many things in the world, and there might be some strange power that could have such an effect.

But in Ryoko Asakura's view, how could Haruhi Suzumiya, who was protected by the power of the supreme god, be affected by a low-level power and become pregnant without even noticing?

She was just saying it.

unless……

Ryoko Asakura's expression changed...

"Unless it is a curse caused by power of the same level."

Nagato Yuki spoke out what Asakura Ryoko was thinking, and all four girls were stunned. A power comparable to the supreme god's power wielded by Haruhi Suzumiya—wasn't that also the power of a supreme god?

Currently, there are only four groups of people in the entire anime and manga world who possess this power.

Gilgamesh, who relentlessly destroys all worlds like a mad dog; the Crimson World, whose motives and purposes are unclear; and the SOS Brigade, dedicated to saving all suffering worlds.

And the last one...

"The administrator... Mo Mo!"

Haruhi Suzumiya's eyes instantly turned red, and her whole body trembled violently with rage. She clenched her fists, and a strange power flowed through her body, causing everything in the living room to vibrate violently.

"Haruhi, calm down!"

Yuki Nagato grabbed Haruhi Suzumiya's hand, and the power originating from the same source as Haruhi began to suppress her rampage. However, Haruhi showed no sign of obeying, and she almost roared, "How can you expect me to calm down? How can I calm down when something like this is happening?!"

"That bastard, that damned scum, she actually, actually!"

As she spoke, a tear welled up in Haruhi Suzumiya's eye. She knew she had to control her power, otherwise countless ordinary people around her might die as a result of its rampage. At that time, the blow to the SOS Brigade would be devastating.

However, there's nothing she can do; Haruhi Suzumiya is now unable to control herself.

However, just as the three girls were horrified, the power within Haruhi Suzumiya suddenly receded like a tide. Her face turned pale, and her body stiffened, as if her previous rampage had been nothing but an illusion.

The three girls stared blankly at Haruhi Suzumiya. Had Haruhi Suzumiya suddenly had an epiphany and figured it out?

However, faced with the gazes of the three girls, a blush suddenly appeared on Haruhi Suzumiya's pale face, and her eyes became somewhat hesitant. She wanted to continue her tirade, to maintain her angry and furious demeanor, but she simply couldn't move.

"Summer Palace, um, what's wrong?"

Mikuru asked cautiously, while Haruhi Suzumiya hesitated for several seconds before placing her hand on her stomach with some hesitation.

"It...it moved a little."

096 She needs to make her own choice.

The scene fell silent for a moment. The girls looked at each other, letting an awkward feeling spread among them.

"In short, Haruhi, you need to calm down and not act impulsively! At least the baby is innocent; it's a life, and we can't easily hurt him, can we?"

Mikuru tried to smooth things over, having already given up hope. But to her surprise, Haruhi Suzumiya didn't say anything this time; instead, her eyes held an indescribable emotion.

"Yuki, is it still possible to remove it?"

Upon hearing this, Mikuru trembled and instinctively wanted to say something more, but Ryoko Asakura covered her mouth.

"Only Haruhi has the authority to decide this matter, so please don't make things difficult for our commander."

Ryoko Asakura whispered something in Mikuru's ear, and Mikuru quieted down. Indeed, aside from the person directly involved, whatever anyone else said to Haruhi Suzumiya was merely empty talk from a high wall.

"It's a pity,"

Yuki Nagato shook her head and said, "Your power is absolute. Just as Ryoko and I cannot harm you, I cannot harm your child either. He is a part of your body, unless you are determined to harm yourself."

"Yuki!"

Ryoko Asakura gave a cold shout, trying to interrupt Yuki Nagato, but Yuki Nagato showed no sign of stopping, saying, "This is Haruhi's own business, and she needs to decide for herself. There are many times I cannot do it for her. She is our leader and needs to make decisions about the future and direction of all of us."

Nagato Yuki's words were clearly pointed, and Asakura Ryoko paused slightly, then said nothing more. She believed Nagato Yuki definitely had her own intentions; comparatively, she was a moderate, while Asakura Ryoko was a radical. Couldn't she, a radical, handle the goals and methods of a moderate?

Haruhi Suzumiya clearly hadn't expected that even the all-powerful Yuki Nagato wouldn't be able to help her. Her expression changed rapidly, and finally, she said with a bewildered look, "Let me think about it..."

After saying that, she waved to the three girls and turned to go upstairs.

Seeing Haruhi Suzumiya leave, Ryoko Asakura frowned and asked Yuki Nagato, "Is there anything you're hiding? It's fine to joke about this with Haruhi Suzumiya, but from her perspective and from the perspective of the entire SOS Brigade, this child shouldn't exist."

Nagato Yuki shook her head slightly and said, "I haven't hidden anything about this child. The person who could make Suzumiya Haruhi fall for this must possess power of the same or even higher level. This is not something we can handle."

"But she... although she seems strong and domineering on the surface, we all know that she is still a human being at heart, with all human emotions and weaknesses. Can she handle these things well?"

I believe her!

Mikuru suddenly spoke up, saying, "We should trust her too. After all, she's our commander!"

Upon hearing this, Ryoko Asakura pursed her lips.

Indeed, Haruhi Suzumiya's transformation from a chuunibyou (delusional) girl obsessed with finding aliens, time travelers, otherworldly beings, and superpowered individuals to the leader of the SOS Brigade, commanding countless people, is undeniable progress. However, is this growth truly an achievement that Haruhi Suzumiya genuinely acknowledges?

Or is it simply that Haruhi Suzumiya was burdened with pressure and had no choice but to keep moving forward, enduring the torment that led her to this day?

Ryoko Asakura stopped talking. Since Yuki Nagato and Mikuru had both chosen to believe Haruhi Suzumiya, she didn't need to say anything more.

"Right now, all we can do is share some of her burdens. Ryoko Asakura, Mikuru, come with me, we're going to build someone."

"To see someone?"

"Huh, you need me too? Can I help? I think it would be better if I stayed to take care of Haruhi?"

Nagato Yuki shook her head slightly and said, "What Haruhi Suzumiya needs right now is peace and quiet, so there's not much you can do to help. The most important thing is that everyone knows the person we're meeting today."

"You know them all?"

The two were clearly taken aback.

“Yes, neither Ryoko Asakura nor I are human, so some emotional factors are hard to handle. Mikuru, you are responsible for the final judgment, deciding whether we should let him meet Haruhi Suzumiya.”

"Ah, okay."

Mikuru suddenly felt a tremendous sense of mission, and even straightened her back. After so many years as a maid, could she finally be of some use?

It's all tears when I talk about it!

Immediately afterwards, the three disappeared as Nagato Yuki's lips moved, and when they reappeared, they were in a secluded coffee shop. In a corner seat, Kyon was looking around anxiously.

"Sigh, even though we weren't that close back then, it shouldn't have come to the point of not letting me into your house, right? Rami, am I being disliked?"

Beside him sat an elegant old gentleman, none other than Rami, the Crimson World Apostle and Bone Collector who had once dealt with Momo. Of course, Rami was merely a disguise; her true form was an Apostle named Spiral Harp Lennancy, the most powerful Free Master in the entire Crimson World.

"Young man, don't be anxious. I can understand your longing for your old friends, but please don't forget that our time is not equal. In fact, we don't even know how many years it has been since you left for them."

"what!"

Ah-Xu was taken aback, only then remembering this crucial question.

The flow of time is not equal between worlds. Unless two worlds are connected, this asymmetry can be as small as a minute or a second or as large as several centuries.

"So, young man, even if your friends show up later, don't rush to show off your friendship!"

Rami deliberately distorted the word "friendship," the sarcasm in his tone obvious. Kyon's face instantly turned slightly embarrassed, and he quickly retorted, "I've only known them for a short time. I'm already very happy they haven't forgotten me!"

"So what's making you anxious right now?"

"Tch, I can't be bothered with you."

Ah-Xu turned his head away, trying to hide his guilty conscience.

Although he didn't spend nearly as much time with the SOS Brigade girls as in the original story, how could Kyon easily forget the girls who had lived close to him for a period of time?

Over the years, his longing for his old friend hadn't faded with time; instead, it had become even more vivid. Ah-Xu himself wasn't sure what to call it, but it certainly couldn't be considered unrequited love, could it?

Even if he's lovesick, he still loves the beautiful and charming Mikuru-senpai. As for that domineering Haruhi Suzumiya, who would...?

"I'm sorry we're late."

"Wow!"

Kyon was startled by Nagato Yuki's voice and threw his coffee away.

097 Because I'm a shrine maiden!

However, the cup of coffee that flew out only swung for a fraction of a second before stopping in mid-air, still trembling.

Kyon was taken aback, then saw that Rami and Nagato Yuki were both pointing at the flying coffee. Clearly, the two of them reacted at the same time and prevented the small accident from happening.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Kyon quickly retrieved the cup and tried to speak to Nagato Yuki. However, he discovered that Nagato Yuki was paying attention to Rami beside him, which instantly hurt Kyon.

Kyon turned to look at Nagato Yuki and then at Asakura Ryoko and Mikuru, who were staring at him intently. He nearly dropped his cup again. It wasn't because of the strange look Mikuru gave him, but because Kyon saw Asakura Ryoko!

The other person even waved and greeted him with a friendly smile!

The last time Ryoko Asakura greeted him like that, she stabbed him in the stomach with a dagger!

hiss--

When Kyon left the world of the SOS Brigade, he had already experienced the assassination attempt on him by Ryoko Asakura, who should have already died at the hands of Yuki Nagato.

But now, it seems everything is different.

This subtly diminished the joy of reunion in Kyon's heart. Perhaps time really can heal many things. For the first time, Kyon began to waver. Was it really worth it to impulsively agree to leave his own world as a troubleshooter?

He was working hard for these familiar people and for the world he knew, but just as he was about to see the results of his efforts, everything he was familiar with turned into something strange.

"So this was your plan all along?"

Yuki Nagato stared at Rami, her face still expressionless, but she became wary.

This vigilance wasn't hostility towards the administrators, but rather respect for an opponent of equal caliber and size. Especially now, the SOS Brigade still knows very little about the Crimson World, particularly their goals and objectives, which they are completely unaware of.

However, Nagato Yuki did not expect that Crimson World would take the initiative to contact their SOS Brigade.

Is it due to extreme difficulties, or is there some unknown scheme at play?

"Yes, it was our plan."
