Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Lelouch's face was almost contorted with rage as he stared at Mo Mo, but only dared to speak in a low voice.

It turns out that when the event was still going on today, Lelouch did indeed initially intend to find a place to hide Momo to avoid the limelight, and he even harbored a slight idea of ​​getting to know Momo and befriending her.

After all, Momo's reputation is too great. If Lelouch really rebels against Britannia in the future, he might still have to deal with Momo.

But to Lelouch's utter surprise, Momo directly called out his name, his real name Lelouch Britannia, and even revealed Lelouch's identity, background, and past.

All of this shocked Lelouch. If Lelouch hadn't been so confident that he couldn't possibly defeat Momo, he probably would have taken action.

At this moment, the place where the two were hiding was discovered by Shirley, who knew Lelouch well, which led to the scene at the beginning. Of course, Momo's wicked sense of humor also played a large part.

Thus, their conversation had to be interrupted. Although Momo could have silenced everyone with Geass and continued talking with Lelouch, he didn't do so. He wanted to see how cunning and capable this dark prince, Lelouch, truly was.

However, Lelouch's current performance is somewhat disappointing to Momo.

The Lelouch of today is someone who has wisdom but lacks experience, and even lacks determination and willpower. He is neither Zero nor the Black Prince, and he does not have the courage to die a heroic death later on.

Momo, of course, knew that this was the reason he appeared in this world. However, Momo didn't feel he owed Lelouch anything because of it, after all, Lelouch's original path wasn't a pleasant one.

Lelouch's journey to the end was not entirely due to his will and determination. Several times, he sowed evil seeds that led to evil consequences. There were also coincidences, both accidental and inevitable, that ultimately propelled him toward his final destruction.

Shirley and her father embody the cause and effect of evil, while Euphemia's death is both a coincidence and an inevitability brought about by the Geass ability. There are many other such factors, all of which collectively shape Lelouch's destiny from that point onward.

Now, Momo's appearance has brought Lelouch to a crossroads.

Momo had originally thought that Lelouch might follow a similar path, becoming the Black Prince and bringing destruction—destroying himself and others. This was also part of Momo's plan, to make Lelouch the powder keg that would ignite an explosion.

However, Momo has now changed his mind.

Perhaps taking away Lelouch's destiny to become the Black Prince from the very beginning would have been a better choice for Lelouch and those around him?

Or, to put it another way, if Lelouch were given a chance to choose again, to go back to the beginning of the first season of the original story, and to let him know the destruction that revenge against Britannia would bring to himself and others, would he still become ZERO and transform into the vengeful Black Prince?

Momo looked at Lelouch in front of him and decided to give Lelouch a chance to choose.

Will he live a peaceful life, or will he become the Black Prince again and face destruction? This is what Momo is now planning to ask Lelouch.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want? What is your purpose in contacting me?"

Seeing that Mo Mo remained silent, Lelouch pressed him again, and this time, the answer he received was a red glint in his eyes.

"Of course, it's because I'm very interested in you."

A red light enveloped Lelouch's eyes, causing him to freeze for a moment. However, the effects of Geass immediately took effect, making him unable to resist revealing his true feelings.

"Don't joke around! You lowly Chinese Federation citizen, to put it bluntly, you're just after my identity and want to use it to blackmail Charles for benefits?"

"You're delusional. That guy never cares about whether Nanali and I live or die. In his eyes, we're nothing but worthless things, not even worth using!"

Lelouch clenched his fists, his eyes glowing red, making it almost impossible for Mo Mo to tell whether it was the color of Geass or the bloodshot in Lelouch's eyes.

"Your status and position are beyond my reach, but I warn you, if you dare to lay a finger on me or Nanali, if you dare to harm Nanali, I will absolutely not let you off!"

Lelouch's threat did not frighten Mo Mo in the slightest. Mo Mo remained smiling and said, "Alright, Lelouch, don't get so agitated. I'm here today to have a talk with you."

Would you like to hear a story?

Lelouch frowned, then snorted coldly, "Anyway, you're the one who orchestrated all of this. Do you think I have the right not to listen?"

"That's perfect. Shall we sit down and listen to a story? It's a long story. First, make me a cup of black tea. Remember, don't add anything, just the original flavor."

Lelouch's eyes twitched, but he still got up and made Momo a cup of black tea, then brought it to Momo.

What were you thinking about the second you were holding that cup of black tea?

"I was considering the possibility of scalding you with this cup of black tea or poisoning you, but unfortunately I don't have any poison on hand, otherwise you would already be dead."

Momo shrugged, took a sip, and said, "Let's continue. This is a story of a black prince's revenge."

"Ha, do you think I'm a literary idiot? I don't even know about The Prince's Hamlet?"

"However, the prince I have here is a black prince, and the black prince's name is Lelouch."

So, Momo briefly introduced the black prince named Lelouch Britannia, the fate he would encounter, the things he would do, and everything that would happen to those around him.

Just like the unscrupulous tactic of cutting together an entire season's content into one episode, giving it a recap title, and selling it as a theatrical version, what Momo told Lelouch was naturally what Lelouch had to do and the consequences of those actions.

As for certain details that don't require much attention, such as CC, CC, and CC, Mo Mo naturally skipped over them.

Lelouch, from his initial disdain to his later astonishment, and finally to his pale face, has completed a full emotional journey.

Too many people have died.

Every time Momo revealed someone's ultimate fate, Lelouch's face paled a little, especially when he mentioned that Nunnally would wail for him at the end. Lelouch clutched his chest, almost feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

"This kind of thing..."

Momo finally finished telling the story of the Black Prince, while Lelouch's eyes widened, and he said, "I don't want to believe this. You must have made this up, right? Even though it sounds very realistic, the 'me' in the story really matches my personality..."

"This can't possibly be true!"

Mo Mo took another sip of black tea and said, "Then let's make a small deal. I guarantee that what I just said was the fate you were destined to face. As for the price, consider it a thank you for this cup of black tea."

Lelouch's expression froze again. He sensed the presence of the trading power and then completed the transaction with Momo.

"This...is this the fate I was meant to have? But you said it yourself, this is my original fate, what do you mean by 'originally'!"

"It means that I have arrived, and without a doubt I have changed the world, and your destiny may also change."

Lelouch had just breathed a sigh of relief when Momo's voice rang out again, saying, "However, we must consider the inertia of everything in the world, Lelouch."

"Once upon a time, a beautiful woman—no, a great woman—said that there is no such thing as chance in the world, only inevitability, and everything is the inevitable result."

"Although my arrival may change your fate, but..."

Momo looked directly at Lelouch and said, "Lelouch, if you still intend to destroy Britannia, are you prepared to be destroyed along with Britannia? Are you prepared to destroy the people around you, including those you love and who love you, as well?"

"This is no joke."

Lelouch suddenly stood up, causing the chair behind him to fall to the ground. He clenched his fists and braced them against the table, trying his best not to tremble.

However, Momo's story was too realistic. The deaths of Shirley, Euphemia, and many others appeared before his eyes, as if he had really experienced them all, and now he was going back to choose again whether or not to walk down that old path.

"You already said that..."

Lelouch gritted his teeth and said, "The world has already been changed by you, and my fate will change too. Destruction is just a possibility, isn't it? What if I succeed? What if I succeed without harming anyone around me? It's a matter of probability..."

Momo simply looked at Lelouch calmly, while Lelouch himself was unable to continue speaking.

“That’s right, it’s a matter of probability. So, are you willing to gamble with Shirley’s life, with Euphemia’s life, even with Nunnally’s life, with the lives of many more people, Lelouch?”

"It's a matter of probability. You're a seasoned gambler, but would you really do something like this?"

"But!"

Lelouch held his head and said, "Britania must be destroyed, Britannia must be destroyed, otherwise how can Nunnally be happy? If Britannia is not destroyed, how can this world change!"

"Even if I die, even if I really die, I will destroy Brittany..."

"No, brother, please don't!"

Lelouch's voice abruptly stopped. It turned out that Nunnally's room door had opened in the distance, and Nunnally was struggling to get out of the room, but she ended up falling off her wheelchair.

Lelouch had just been hit by Momo's Geass, so he naturally spoke his mind without any regard for Nunnally. As a result, Nunnally overheard many things.

"Nanali!"

Lelouch let out a scream, then immediately rushed over and picked up Nunnally. At this moment, Nunnally was trembling all over and clung tightly to Lelouch's neck as if begging for help.

"Brother...no, brother, I don't want you to die, I want you to live, brother! Don't destroy Britannia, don't provoke Father, Nunnally just wants her brother by her side, that's all I need, that's all I need!"

Nunnally's sorrow reached Lelouch's eyes and his heart, temporarily calming the raging madness of destruction and hatred surging within him.

"Nanali...I...I want to create a happy world for you, Nanali!"

"No, I don't want anything, I just want my brother! A world with my brother is a happy world. If my brother dies, Nunnally won't live either!"

Lelouch stared at Nunnally in astonishment. He wasn't surprised by Nunnally's reaction, but at that moment, Lelouch realized a problem, a serious problem.

Was everything he wanted to create for Nunnally really what Nunnally wanted?

"I think you two siblings might need to have a deeper conversation?"

Mo Mo smiled and approached the two of them, then took out two genuine neural connection devices and said, "I have a chat method here called direct connection, would you like to try it?"

……

Lelouch and Nunnally connected directly, and they easily learned how to use the connection. Then the brother and sister snuggled together.

Without the barrier of outward masks, the brother and sister listened to each other's true feelings for the first time, and this exchange gradually dispelled the struggle on Lelouch's face.

Just as Lelouch had realized, he was now certain of Nunnally's thoughts and certain of her happiness.

A world with him is a happy one. But if he continues to destroy the world and Britannia as he originally wished, he is actually destroying Nunnally's happiness little by little.

That kind of behavior... was absolutely stupid.

"Thank you."

After a long while, Lelouch raised his head and looked at Momo. At this moment, Lelouch was still under the effect of Momo's Geass, so his "thank you" was unquestionable.

"It seems you've already made up your mind about some things."

"Ah...yes, to destroy the happiness in front of me for a happiness that doesn't exist, I, Lelouch, am not that much of an idiot."

"Brother...promise Nunnally, you will never leave Nunnally, okay?"

Lelouch smiled, a tired smile, but also one of complete relief, and said, "Okay, I promise, I will never leave Nunnally."

"It's over."

Mo Mo sighed softly, then turned to look at Saki's room and said, "Miss Maid, would you please open the door? I think there are already many people waiting outside."

As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, Saki opened the door, bowed to Mo Mo, and then silently went to the living room door and opened it.

"Wow!"

"oops!"
