Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Upon hearing this, Asuna looked suspicious and said, "You're not targeting someone again, are you?"

"No, absolutely not!"

This time, Mo Mo sat up straight and said, "I guarantee it, absolutely not, I guarantee it with... Xixi's integrity!"

Unfortunately, given CC's reputation, there was clearly no credibility to it; even CC herself didn't believe it. After exchanging mocking glances with Mo Mo for thirty seconds, the group began discussing the next details.

Not long after, Momo left Penglai Island, taking Karen, Jiang Lihua, CC, Yuki, and the captured Anya with him, and landed in what was then Japan, now Area 11.

As for Rollo, his fate has been completely changed. Rather than going to a school, he chose to go to Australia and work as an ordinary staff member under Argo, completely concealing his Geass power.

And so, to everyone's astonishment, Mo Mo began his study abroad plan.

After all, everyone in the world knows that Mo Mo is taking Jiang Lihua on a study tour. If Mo Mo doesn't make a show of it, wouldn't he be slapping the Emperor in the face?

Although Mo Mo had already angered the Emperor to the point of almost passing out, and was just one step away from closing his eyes forever.

And the school that Momo chose was, without any surprises, Ashford Academy, where the original story began.

Of course, Momo and his group's actions must have been communicated to Britannia, and Clovis is currently the governor of District 11.

Clovis obviously couldn't know any inside information about Momo's situation or what was happening in Britannia, so he immediately reported Momo's trip with the princess of the Chinese Empire to Britannia as important news.

The message from Britannia was that Momo and his group should be treated well, and their whereabouts should be kept secret as much as possible, while their safety should be protected in secret.

After all, they are here for study tours, not visits. Making it public knowledge would only anger them.

Clovis lacked political and military talent; he preferred painting, music, and aristocratic parties to such matters.

However, the fact that he was able to become governor shows that he has considerable talent in handling government affairs, at least in terms of appearances.

And entertaining Momo was undoubtedly just a formality.

After much deliberation, Clovis decided to remain out of the picture for the time being. Instead, he sent someone to inform Momo and his group from the Ashford family of their origins, requesting that they be properly taken care of, and also to convey goodwill to Momo through the Ashford family.

If Momo needs anything at that time, he can step in then. If Momo is interested in meeting him, he will also prepare a British-style aristocratic banquet for Momo.

Clovis's decision has made the matter of Momo bringing Jiang Lihua to Ashford Academy the most important thing at the moment.

After all, the Ashford family has declined and urgently needs a way to revitalize the family. Moreover, the Ashford Academy was established to give Lelouch and Nunnally a complete school life and to hide their identities.

Therefore, whether it was to manage the relationship with Momo or to arrange Momo's arrival from what angle, these became issues that the Ashford family had to consider.

However, those are issues that the Ashford family needs to consider. Right now, Millie Ashford, who is still a student, is most concerned about how much fun the arrival of Momo and Jiang Lihua will bring to the entire academy.

Looking at the several application forms in her hand, Mirei's eyes shone with a light that rivaled that of a light bulb.

One is Mr. Mo, the brilliant strategist of the Chinese Empire, renowned worldwide; the other is Princess Jiang Lihua of the Chinese Empire, though here it seems to have been changed to Mo Lihua due to a pseudonym.

The remaining three pictures are of three girls, with green, purple, and pink hair respectively.

Mirei was now completely immersed in excitement, so much so that she ignored even basic common sense errors. Holding the five application forms, she rushed into the student council in the afternoon and shouted loudly at the people inside.

"Breaking news! Absolutely breaking news! Everyone come and see!"

"Hey, I'm talking to you guys! Rival and Lelouch, stop fiddling with your neural link devices. Nina, you too, are you really that obsessed with this computer from the Chinese Empire?"

"Shirley, are you doing the same thing? Are you helping Nunnally with origami, or are you peeking at Lelouch? If you're going to look, just do it openly. Lelouch won't notice or mind anyway."

With just a few words, Mirei skillfully captured the attention of everyone in the student council.

221 Mo Mo is only 17 years old and still so cute!

"President!"

Shirley immediately stood up, slammed her hands on the table, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! I... I didn't peek at Lelouch!"

"Besides, why would I have to peek at Lelouch?"

Xia Li absolutely would not allow anyone to expose her secrets, even though she was unaware that her secrets were already an open secret.

Even Nina, standing in the corner, couldn't help but smile helplessly as she looked at Shirley. Shirley, who usually seemed energetic and capable at all times, was incredibly oblivious when it came to this kind of thing.

Lelouch was equally oblivious. Even though Shirley tried her best not to let others discover her secret, everyone around her did, not to mention Lelouch, who was almost universally recognized as the smartest person in the student council.

Is Lelouch simply blinded by his own involvement, or is he deliberately refusing to admit it?

Nina shook her head and sat down at the round table in the middle of the room, waiting for their president, Millie, to announce her decision. As for Lelouch and Shirley's matter, it was best for them to handle it themselves.

"Hmph, everyone's here!"

Millie put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't be shocked by what follows. This is something that my entire Ashford family is currently working on with all its might. It's also a key focus of our student council's work going forward, the most important of all. Everyone must concentrate all their efforts on doing it well!"

"Snapped!"

Mireille slammed the document down in her hand and said, "Next, Mo Mo, the brilliant strategist of the Chinese Empire, will be bringing his students to study at our Ashford Academy!"

"Mr. Mo... Mr. Mo is coming!"

As soon as Mirei finished explaining to everyone that Momo was coming to Ashford Academy, Rival's eyes lit up and he jumped up excitedly. Nina, standing to the side, also opened her mouth wide, her eyes sparkling with joy and surprise.

Even Nanali, who is blind in one eye, exclaimed in surprise, "Is that Mr. Mo from the Chinese Empire?"

"What? You all knew that!"

"How could I not know Mr. Mo? He's my idol! I've had every generation of the Pear Neural Connection Device since the first one! Ahhh, I've already saved up all the money and am just waiting for the Pear 4 to be released!"

Rival's arrogant demeanor made Mirei somewhat unhappy; the reactions of the crowd were not quite what she had expected!

It's one thing to be surprised, but why are people so delighted?

Mirei was happy because she thought things would definitely get interesting, and everyone was clearly more focused on Momo himself. But Mirei didn't realize how attractive Momo was.

“President,” Lelouch seemed to notice Millie’s surprise and said, “No matter what, you are a girl. Girls don’t pay as much attention to technology as we boys do, especially someone like Rival.”

"In his eyes, Mr. Mo's technological inventions have directly changed the world. To him, Mr. Mo is probably a creator."

"Snapped!"

Lelouch's well-intentioned explanation was met with a chop to the neck from Millie, who said, "Lelouch, what do you mean by 'I can be considered a girl'? What kind of image do you have of me? Look, my figure is even better than Shirley's, isn't it?"

As she spoke, Mirei puffed out her chest.

"President!"

"Okay, okay, don't be nervous, Shirley. I'm not going to steal your Lelouch."

Mirei pursed her lips, looked at Rival, and then, under Rival's expectant gaze, looked at Nina and said, "Nina, do you also value Mr. Mo that much?"

Nina felt a little awkward when she saw everyone looking at her, but she still said, "Mr. Mo, it is indeed very impressive. The computer I am using now is a product of China Empire. Its performance is much stronger than my previous one, and the price is also cheaper."

"See, President, isn't that true? Nina is a real girl, yet she values ​​Mr. Mo so much."

This time, Mirei seemed to really believe it. She tapped the neural connection device on her neck and said, "Well, what you're saying probably makes sense. This thing is really convenient."

"Alright, in that case, I don't think I need to introduce Mr. Mo to you any further. This is their enrollment registration form. Soon they will be becoming one of us."

After speaking, Mirei passed Momo's registration form to everyone, letting them look at it one by one to get to know the new students who had joined this time.

However, seeing the strange expressions on everyone's faces, Mirei was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"As for the question..."

Rival, holding Momo's application for admission, said, "President, are you sure you're not mistaken? No matter what, Mr. Mo shouldn't be enrolling as a student, and besides, his age is listed as 17..."

"Although I don't know exactly how old Mr. Mo is this year, he must have been at least this age when he first became famous five years ago. Even though his appearance has hardly changed..."

Upon hearing Rival's words, Mireille grabbed the application from his hand, examined it closely, and confirmed Rival's statement.

"This……"

“You’re right. He’s at least in his twenties, though he still looks so young.”

If everyone present knew that Mo Mo was actually over a hundred years old, I wonder what their expressions would be?

"That's right, President, didn't you even read it?"

Holding CC's application form, Xia Li said, "It's one thing for this student to use CC as a pseudonym, but to write 1000 years old as their age is just utter nonsense!"

“And here it is,” Lelouch said, holding up two college applications. “This one is for Kallen Hudattafelt. I don’t need to say much about the Hudattafelt surname, it’s a Britannian family name.”

"And this one, Chairman."

Lelouch, holding Jiang Lihua's application form, said, "President, although I haven't actually met this Miss Mo Lihua, but..."

Then Lelouch took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a brand new RMB note, and said, "Some time ago I bet... cough cough, played chess with a person from the Chinese Empire, and after I won, he gave me Chinese Empire banknotes."

As he spoke, Lelouch stared at Shirley and Millie's suspicious eyes, then placed the RMB on the table and spread it out neatly.

"Take a look, everyone. Although there is an age gap between them, I don't need to say more about how similar they are."

Everyone crowded around to take a look. They glanced at the RMB banknotes and then at Jiang Lihua's photo on the college application form. Their eyes widened, and then they all looked at Mi Lei.

Mireille pouted and said, "Oh my, it was discovered so quickly! That's right, just as you guessed, otherwise why would I say this is a very important matter that we all need to take seriously?"

"President, it's actually true! The princess of the Chinese Empire... is actually coming to study here!"

"Rival, you're being too loud! This needs to be kept secret no matter what!"

Shirley complained to Rival, and Rival immediately shut up. He knew very well that this matter was highly confidential.

After all, a princess from the Chinese Empire has come to Area 11 to study at their academy. If any unexpected situation arises as a result, it will definitely be a huge diplomatic problem.

“But,” Shirley continued, “why would she come here? After all, she’s of high status; what if something happens to her…”

Everyone understood what Xia Li meant. It was no secret that the Chinese Empire had only one heir, and now everyone had taken that into consideration.

"Lelouch, what do you think? You know best about these kinds of things, right?"

Mireille asked Lelouch, who then stacked the applications together and said, "Alright, everyone, don't be so nervous. And you can just take a look at the questions on these applications."

No one understood Lelouch's meaning. Nunnally, standing some distance away, smiled faintly and said, "Brother, stop keeping me in suspense. I'm curious to know too."

"Okay, okay, it's not that complicated. After all, the Chinese Empire made it very clear that Mr. Mo brought the princess here for study tours."

“Note that it is a study tour, not a study abroad program. The key word is ‘study tour.’ In my opinion, the so-called study tour is at most just bringing her here to experience life, and it probably won’t last long.”

Lelouch's words surprised everyone, but he continued, "To put it simply, it means sightseeing or tourism. Of course, it can also be seen as a friendly diplomatic interaction between the Chinese Empire and Britannia, which further proves the good relationship between the two countries, doesn't it?"

“And this one,” Lelouch said, pulling out Anya’s photo as evidence. “Some of you may not recognize this person, but I can tell you all very clearly that this pink-haired girl is our Sixth Knight of the Round Table.”

"Seriously?!"

"You're lying, aren't you? Such a young child!"

Millie and Shirley exclaimed in unison, while Rival, stroking his chin, echoed Lelouch, saying, "Now that you mention it, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
