Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

"Ok, no problem."

Mo Mo followed CC's instructions and went to her side, but CC suddenly turned around and slapped Mo Mo across the face.

Mo Mo neither dodged nor avoided, but simply raised her hand, holding a small jewelry box.

CC's hand stopped abruptly, the force of his palm brushing across Mo Mo's cheek, but he couldn't bring himself to strike again.

Because CC's entire attention was drawn to the ring box.

Inside the ring box was an exquisite ring set with a beautiful red diamond, engraved with Geass runes that looked incredibly lifelike.

The beautiful ring shimmered with a soft light, which entered CC's eyes, and a tear quietly rolled down the corner of CC's eye.

"Was it because you were too moved?"

"No, it's because your shamelessness is so hurtful."

Unfazed by CC's haughty demeanor, Mo Mo continued, "Do you like it?"

This time, however, the proud CC didn't answer. Instead, she just stared at the ring without saying a word.

She instinctively wanted to say she didn't like it, but the crystalline red light even attracted her heartbeat.

So CC changed the subject, saying, "This is something you prepared a long time ago, isn't it? Which little girl are you planning to lure with?"

"Don't play dumb, Sisi. I had this custom-made after I met you, and the Geass pattern is proof of that, isn't it?"

"Maybe you're trying to seduce some other little girl with Geass abilities."

"Stop messing around, where did all these little girls with Geass abilities come from?"

Seeing that Mo Mo didn't say much, CC pursed her lips, but her golden eyes never left the ring box.

"Do you like it or not, Sisi? If you don't like it, I'll give it to someone else. Or maybe I'll go look for a little girl with Geass powers?"

Upon hearing this, CC suddenly snatched the ring box from Mo Mo's hand with lightning speed. Then, she held the ring box in her palm, staring blankly at the red light within.

However, Momo noticed that CC seemed to have a faint smile on her lips.

"You snatched it from me, how am I supposed to put it on you now?"

"Put it on?"

CC rolled her eyes, tucked the ring box into her sleeve, and said, "Why should I wear it? Wearing it would mean I've accepted your proposal. Don't be ridiculous. As a thousand-year-old witch, how could I possibly fall into your hands so easily?"

"If you really want to win me over, wait another hundred years."

As CC spoke, she seemed to be thinking of a scene, and she started to laugh, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons.

"Does this mean all the gift I carefully prepared is worthless? Sisi, I'm so sad!"

CC was happy, but Mo Mo had a long face, as if she was really sad.

"Hmph, stop pretending. With your shamelessness and terrible acting skills, you might be okay with little girls and honest people, but you're lying to me. You're overthinking it."

CC approached Mo Mo with her hands behind her back, the smile in her eyes still undiminished. She hesitated for a few seconds and said, "However... what you just mentioned... is possible."

"Yes, yes what?"

Don't play dumb with me!

Just moments ago, CC was acting like a master of filth, proud of her filth, but now, for some reason, she doesn't even dare to utter the three open and honest words "slap slap slap," and has become timid and hesitant.

"Just follow me, the bedroom is in which direction... Wow, why did you pick me up!"

Mo Mo smiled slightly and said, "I can't wait any longer. I'll catch a witch, take her home, and have sex with her day and night, hehehe..."

"You still disgust me just the same..."

CC sighed, watching Mo Mo's swift steps, and helplessly shrank into Mo Mo's arms, as docile as a little Persian cat.

Yuki, who was following behind the two, also crept up and followed. Looking at CC's green hair swinging out of Mo Mo's arms, a strange light appeared in her eyes.

"A ring... Suddenly Yuuki really wants one too... I wonder what sex feels like, and why is big brother so obsessed with it... I'm so curious."

……

As Mo Mo spent his days teasing little girls and his nights having sex with witches, the city of Luoyang gradually began to feel a familiar scent associated with him.

The smell of mist.

This kind of smell would never exist in the rebellious world of Lelouch. This familiar smell, mixed with impurities from coal and oil, made Momo feel as if he had returned home.

The reason for this smell is that the technology brought by Momo is not the clean and pollution-free Sakura Stone Technology, but the petrochemical, coal and steel technology that coexists with pollution and development.

If the resources of Sakura Stone were inexhaustible, and if Mo Mo didn't have a task given to him by the world's consciousness, he naturally wouldn't do such a thing. After all, a world with beautiful mountains and clear waters is a good world.

However, there's no need to worry about pollution. Momo is only in the initial stage right now. Once the war ends, the mature nuclear fission technology that Momo brought will be enough to supply the entire Chinese Federation with pollution-free energy. In addition, as long as pollution is controlled according to high standards from the beginning, pollution can be reduced to almost nothing.

At least for now, the lingering scent gave Momo a sense of satisfaction, because it meant that the production and supply of the batch of goods Momo needed should not be a problem at the moment.

"I'm hungry... I want pizza."

The morning sunlight shone on the headboard, and CC, completely naked, sat up abruptly, seemingly unconcerned about being undressed. Looking back on the past few days, even she was somewhat surprised, as she seemed to have been in a state of constant excitement. As for the specific reason… well, CC would never admit it had anything to do with that ring.

Now, after so many days of countless hours of hard work, she and Momo are truly as familiar as can be.

"Honey, can't we eat something else? The taste of pizza can't replace the scent of perfume."

"I want pizza, I don't care, I just want pizza. You've made me so weak, I can only stand up if I eat pizza."

Faced with CC's obsession with pizza, Momo shrugged helplessly. Although pizza was delicious, Momo could only say that he couldn't accept eating pizza three times a day.

Just as Momo was about to have the servants prepare a pizza for CC separately, the aroma of pizza wafted in from outside the door, making CC's eyes light up immediately.

"Hehehe, Miss Argo, you've come at the perfect time! I heard that Sister Sisi spent the whole night with her darling. Are you hungry? Come, come, this is a little treat from your younger sister Argo to you, big sister!"

As he spoke, Argo exaggeratedly handed the pizza to CC with both hands, a gesture that made CC, who had just been being unreasonable, find it hard to accept.

However, she still took the pizza and said, "Argo, you are his wife, shouldn't you be angry to see me like this?"

"angry?"

Argo blinked and said, "Why should I be angry? I'm overjoyed."

As he spoke, Argo looked CC up and down with a smile, leaving CC completely bewildered.

"Did Argo suffer some kind of head injury?"

Unable to get answers from Argo, CC could only look to Momo, but Momo shrugged and said, "I think you'll find out soon enough."

"You two are both equally eccentric. Oh well, I can't be bothered with you anyway. Hmm... delicious!"

“Argo,” Momo continued, “any news? You look travel-worn; have you finished your work?”

"That's right, Argo has finally returned after completing his mission!"

Argo puffed out his chest and patted his chest, saying, "The entire terrain of the Luoyang Military Region has been mapped, and quantum generators have been installed in every area as markers. In addition, some informants I bribed before, who fled with the nobles, are now sending me news from the local areas, firsthand information."

"What big news is there?"

"Thirteen local warlord families have gathered 300,000 troops to purge the emperor's inner circle. Isn't that big news?"

CC, who was eating pizza, stopped and asked, "Three hundred thousand?"

CC turned to look at Mo Mo. As a knowledgeable witch, she was well aware of the significance of 300,000 regular troops and the significance of 300,000 against 30,000.

Author's Note:

The fifth update; the sixth update will be a little later.

091 War Begins Outside the Battlefield

Although the army numbers 300,000, this is just a figure used for local propaganda. Considering logistics and various service units, the actual number of regular combat troops is certainly far less than this.

However, even if we exclude half, 150,000 regular combat troops is still a rather frightening number.

150,000 regular combat troops, not to mention countless armored vehicles, tanks, and aircraft, will all be continuously transported to the Luoyang Military Region. The deployment of such a terrifying number of troops demonstrates that the local forces have mobilized their full strength this time.

150,000 is insignificant compared to the current total number of troops in the Chinese Federation. However, the Chinese Federation needs troops stationed across its vast territory, and they are needed almost everywhere. In particular, there are disputes with Britannia in Southeast Asia, the need to guard against the EU in the north, and the need for warlord families along the coast to guard against Britannia.

All of this means that 300,000 troops is the limit that all the powerful warlords can muster at the moment, and the reason why the local authorities have mobilized all their forces is naturally to take Luoyang in one fell swoop.

This was clearly not a so-called "purging of corrupt officials," but a military coup. The powerful warlords wanted to use their forces to defeat the emperor's personal guard, seize all of the emperor's power, and turn the emperor into a puppet once again.

Faced with such a terrifying disparity in troop strength, what should Momo do? CC, who had been following Momo all along, was naturally aware of the number of troops Momo had. Although the 30,000 Imperial Guards that were publicly announced were all combat troops, and the service units were not included in the later stages, there was still a five-fold difference in troop strength between the two sides.

Moreover, Momo's personnel configuration and weaponry are largely conceptual. Although the personnel can be called elites and the equipment is currently the best in the Chinese Federation, what does all of this mean in the face of a five-fold difference in numbers?

CC's pale golden eyes reflected only Mo Mo's face.

CC, who knows Mo Mo's past life memories, knows that Mo Mo can achieve immortality through some means, but she also knows that Mo Mo is different from her and will still die.

Momo is simply free from the limitations of lifespan, but if a person dies, they are truly dead and will not be resurrected soon like her, regardless of the injuries they suffered.

So, will Momo be able to survive when facing a terrifying 150,000-strong modern army?

At this moment, CC did not have a high opinion of Mo Mo.

The thought that the man who had been greedily taking her body and intimately touching her before they even woke up was about to face the threat of death made CC's heart leap into her throat. Her heart, which had been dormant for a thousand years, began to beat faster again because of Mo Mo in front of her.

What should she do?

At this moment, CC was not only asking what she should do if Mo Mo was in danger, but she was also questioning her own heart: what should she do with Mo Mo?

"What are you thinking about?"

Momo noticed CC's gaze, moved closer, and reached out to stroke CC's face, wiping away a trace of cheese from the corner of CC's mouth. But just as Momo was about to remove his hand, CC reached out and grasped Momo's wrist, placing Momo's hand on her face as if feeling Momo's warmth.

During the time she spent with Momo, she had long since gotten used to Momo's temperature, and if she didn't feel this temperature at night, she would be quiet and unable to sleep.

"At least this time, I will protect you."

CC spoke softly, as if it were a gentle sigh.

"Sorry, my voice was too soft. Could you say it again?"

Mo Mo smiled and asked, but CC pushed Mo Mo's hand away, picked up her breakfast again, and said, "It's nothing, you two can continue discussing your business."

"A fickle woman."

"That's right, I am the witch of a thousand transformations."

Mo Mo shrugged. He wasn't going to say anything, but with the limits of human hearing, he had clearly heard what CC was saying. Although CC's actions moved Mo Mo, he knew that truly capturing this thousand-year-old witch was still a long way off.

A witch is a witch. Even if you capture her heart and her body, her soul remains elusive and unpredictable.
