Money Can Buy Everything

069: I Hate That Bratty Kid

"The deal is done, congratulations, Momo. You've successfully evolved from flirting to kidnapping young girls. You're advancing further on the scumbag's path, and the death star above your head is shining. It's the light of a firewood hatchet!"

"For my daughter, even if it means death, I would still do it!"

"Are you a hidden daughter lover?"

"Nonsense, I am a proud and righteous daughter lover! Why wouldn't I love a cute daughter like Yui? Loving daughters is justice. How can a father who doesn't love his daughter give her wholehearted love?"

"Giving your heart is enough, your body is unnecessary!"

"Gasp! Reimu! How could you be so dirty!"

"Ha!? It's all your fault, you've contaminated me!"

Yui continued to sob in Momo's arms, holding onto him tightly. Her body's trembling finally stopped. Sensing the change in the girl, Momo felt a chill in his heart.

Kayaba Akihiko, you've really done it.

If you don't plan on playing the game properly, don't blame me for flipping the table first!

After a while, Yui lifted her head to look at Momo. Because the transaction ability had been confirmed, Yui believed that the Momo in front of her was her father, not the one forced upon her by Yui. The two had already developed an intimate father-daughter relationship.

"Dad?"

"I'm here, Yui."

"Dad!"

"Yeah, it's me."

"Dad, I love you, Yui loves you!"

"Yeah, love you too!"

"Ah, my poor eyes, who will heal my poor eyes!"

Reimu rolled on top of Momo's head, her eyes blinded by the affectionate display between father and daughter, tears streaming down her face.

"Dad!"

Yui hugged Momo's neck, rubbing her cheek against his face, as if only by getting as close as possible could she express her love for Momo.

After a while, Yui regained her senses, hesitantly looking at Momo. "Dad, I'm not sure if I should say... I'm afraid there might be consequences if I do. It's not that I don't trust Dad, it's just that Dad might not be able to help Yui."

Momo wasn't angry. Yui now had human intelligence but not necessarily human common sense, let alone an understanding of human reality. Therefore, the judgments Yui made couldn't be trusted, but she didn't know that herself.

However, Momo wouldn't hastily dismiss Yui's judgment. First, it might upset Yui, and secondly, if there were indeed absolute conditions that Momo couldn't fulfill, wouldn't it make Yui the culprit?

"In that case, it's time for a father-daughter telepathic connection."

"Telepathic connection? Father-daughter telepathic connection? What should Yui do?"

After saying this, Momo hugged Yui and touched his forehead to hers. "Reimu, please, convey my thoughts to Yui."

"Huh? This is against the rules! Ah, alright, alright, don't give me those teary eyes, I know you just got some sand in your eyes and pretended to cry with Yui. I'll help you, but only by using the transaction ability."

After speaking, Reimu conveyed Momo's thoughts to Yui. "Yui, listen."

"Huh, Dad, Dad's voice..."

With that, Yui seemed to have figured something out and quickly closed her mouth, saying, "Next, I will initiate a transaction with you, promising to help you get rid of your current predicament. You need to clearly understand your current situation and then trade it with me as a condition."

"Whether it succeeds or not, let Dad's power be the judge."

Yui nodded as if understanding, and then Momo activated the transaction ability.

With her eyes closed, Yui pondered for a while before finally opening them. Reimu's voice echoed in Momo's mind.

"The deal is done."

Momo squinted slightly, digesting the information he received from Yui. "So that's how it is, Kayaba really has gone astray."

"Ah, I think it's unfortunate that a pure scientist like him has learned from you, truly unfortunate."

"Me? Is it my fault?"

"Isn't it? Due to you, he's forced into a corner and can only make use of these methodto punish you. After all, you've already ruined eighty percent of his game."

Momo grinned, "How stingy, just because I took his position as the guild leader? That old chuunibyou brat sure is hopeless."

"What will you do next? It seems Kayaba has been preparing for a long time, and Yui is just the beginning."

"Well, overall, it depends on what Kayaba does. But it seems he's eager to get me off the stage and make me leave in embarrassment."

"So, I'm excited. If there's someone who wants to challenge me, how can I not play along? Since he doesn't want me to ruin his game, I'll do just that."

Momo's lips curled into a playful smile, "Actually, I'm prepared to continue playing. After all, this game is an important part of everyone's life. However, he keeps breaking the rules and trying to kick me out, so I might as well flip the table."

"Anyway, this game doesn't mean much to me anymore."

"Ah, I feel sorry for him, insisting on demonstrating those two words in front of you. Isn't that being a clown in front of a monkey?"

"Why do you think of yourself as a monkey when you're such a cute girl?"

"It's you, jerk!"

...

Momo and Yui continued playing outside for over half an hour before returning to the cabin. At this point, Asuna and Argo had already prepared everything, chatting and laughing as usual.

"Yui's back!"

Yui giggled and ran into the room, then jumped into Argo's arms, saying, "Mommy, Yui's back."

Argo glanced awkwardly at Asuna, who remained calm, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, Asuna had actually indicated her attitude. Regarding Yui's matter, she wouldn't interfere too much, provided that Argo was just Yui's mother.

"Good girl, what did you play outside?"

"I saw a big butterfly outside, it was so big, Yui almost caught it, but unfortunately, it didn't like Yui and flew away."

"The butterflies are also going to have dinner, so let's eat first, alright? Today, it's Asuna's grilled meat!"

Yui looked at Asuna, and Asuna's eyes instinctively twitched. By now, she deeply understood Momo's aversion to bratty kids like Yui.

However, to Asuna's surprise this time, despite being somewhat reserved, Yui still whispered to Asuna, "Thank you, big sister Asuna."

"Ah, no need! Yui is so cute, letting Yui taste my cooking makes me very happy!"

A flicker of surprise flashed across Asuna's face. She glanced at Momo, who was smiling and waving at her, feeling a warm stream in her heart.

Indeed, Momo was remarkable. In such a short time, he managed to change the attitude of an NPC that initially disliked her. Only Momo would put effort into such trivial matters.

"Hmph—"

At this moment, Asuna squinted and smiled.

"What are you laughing at, Argo? Is there something interesting?"

"Hey, Asuna, Yui calls me mom and calls you sister. So, as Yui sister, what should you call me?"

Seeing Argo's smug expression, Asuna pretended to be clueless, saying, "Mrs. Argo?"

"Ahaha!"

Argo held her head, "Asuna, you're finished. Your life is bleak. You've learned from Momo and taken on Momo's colors!"

"Hmph, I'm willing!"

Asuna's reply instantly shut down Argo's sarcasm. Facing Asuna, who shamelessly and willingly followed Momo's bad influence, Argo felt a deep envy.

"Alright, Yui, come and taste Big Sister Asuna's cooking. Come, sit with big sister Asuna."

There were four chairs set up at the table. Asuna pulled two chairs together, intending to sit with Momo and let him taste her new sauce.

However, Yui's sudden change surprised Asuna, and her attitude towards Yui improved. After all, if Yui was cute, Asuna still liked children.

Yui blinked and then ran to the chairs next to Asuna's side, dragging one chair to the other side and putting the three chairs together.

"Yui, what are you—"

Asuna's mouth twitched.

"Um, big sister Asuna, I'm sorry, but Yui wants to be with Dad and Mom."

Argo was taken aback and looked at Asuna. She was afraid Asuna would be upset, but Asuna looked at Momo and found him equally surprised.

Momo was indeed surprised. He only let Yui become his daughter, and he didn't control Yui's choices or behavior. His only requirement for Yui was to continue as usual.

On the surface, Yui continued to carry out Kayaba Akihiko's tasks, and Momo still maintained his nominal father-daughter relationship with her. Momo pretended not to know anything.

Following Kayaba's plan, Momo already had an idea to start his harem— um, to manage his relationships. However, contrary to the original story, Yui actually liked Argo. This was beyond Momo's expectations.

"Um, Yui... big sister Asuna and Dad— Momo, are a couple, so they should be together. Mom will accompany you, okay? Come, sit with Mom."

Yui blinked and said innocently, "But shouldn't Dad and Mom be together? Why are Dad and big sister Asuna a couple?"

"Dad, did you cheat?"

With an innocent expression, Yui looked at Momo and then at Asuna, instantly making Asuna feel a sense of injury.

What did it mean for Momo to cheat? Did she instantly become a third party, going from the original partner to the mistress? What kind of drama was this unfolding!

"Um, Yui, think carefully before you speak, okay?"

"Isn't it true?"

Yui glared at Asuna, making Asuna understand instantly that she could never like this little brat!

Her existence was the natural enemy of the relationship between herself and Momo!
