Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Shirley stretched out her arms and hugged Lelouch from behind, then hugged him tightly, throwing herself into his embrace.

"Lulu..."

A soft murmur made Lelouch correct what Rival had said; he could no longer take his attention away from Shirley.

With a "click," the door opened, and everyone went out. Mo Mo casually closed the door and took out a new lock from his pocket, locking the door behind him.

Mireille and the other two stared blankly at Momo's actions until he finished. Only then did Rival say, "Hey, Momo, what are you doing!"

"Of course it's to create opportunities for the two of us. This is a new lock that Sakiyoko just secretly gave me. I'm the only one with the key. Without the key, this door can't be opened."

"Here you go."

After Mo Mo finished speaking, he tossed the key to Mi Lei, who blinked as she looked at the key in her hand, and then let out a scream along with the other two.

"Alas!"

All three were high school students, so they naturally had a vague idea of ​​Momo's intentions. Rival's eyes lit up, and Mirei's eyes also showed surprise. She said, "Hey, isn't this going too far!"

"That's why I tossed you the keys. If Shirley really insists on leaving, then you can handle it. Otherwise..."

Mo Mo smiled innocently, and that smile touched the other three people as well.

"Hahaha," Rival suddenly grabbed Momo's shoulder, then gave him a thumbs up and said, "Momo, if I didn't know about you, you would definitely be our age, a good buddy, hahaha. Lelouch would probably beat you to death if he saw you tomorrow!"

"As for Lelouch, even if he wanted to fight, he wouldn't have the strength, right?"

Mirei looked at the key and sighed, saying, "Alright, I'll take this on. Unless Shirley threatens to kill herself to get out of Lelouch's place, she'll be staying at my house with me tonight—that's what I'll tell Shirley's parents, hmph."

Nina was dizzy watching from the sidelines, after all, the three of them looked a bit sly and mischievous, which was beyond her comprehension. However, she found it surprisingly exciting to be involved the whole time.

Is it true that doing bad things is an instinctive human desire?

"But speaking of which, Momo, you haven't lifted Lelouch's state yet, right? Is that alright?"

Rival suddenly remembered this and asked, but judging from the sly smile on his lips, he didn't really care.

"Isn't this perfect? ​​It allows Lelouch to confront his feelings and his reason. Faced with Shirley, who is completely devoted to him, he has no choice but to tell the truth. What do you think will happen?"

"Haha, hey president, should I ask you for leave tomorrow on behalf of Lelouch and Shirley?"

"You two have had enough of this, and Momo, don't corrupt my people as soon as you arrive. Look at Nina, she can barely stand."

"Ah, I'm fine... I'm fine. President, I'll head back now."

Seeing Nina's somewhat flustered appearance as she fled, Momo and Rival shrugged, deciding it was best to leave it at that.

"I will remove Lelouch's state tomorrow. However, my technique actually has a small side effect: once it is removed, the person who spoke the truth will have a slightly confused memory and will not remember what they said."

As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, Rival and Mireille, who had just been smiling, immediately froze, then tensed up, saying, "How could this happen? Does that mean Lelouch's status has been lifted...?"

"Don't worry, I've already thought about this."

Momo gestured for the two to calm down and said, "Nunnaly was also a witness to everything that happened today, and my newly developed neural connection device has a function called direct connection. With such evidence from multiple sources, even if Lelouch's memory is confused, I think Nunnally and Shirley will help him recall what he said and did today."

After speaking, Momo explained the so-called direct connection function to the two people, which made them widen their eyes in disbelief. However, considering that Momo could get people to speak their true feelings, it seemed that developing a function like direct connection was not so incredible.

At this moment, the two realized that the person in front of them was not their classmate, but Mo Mo, the genius of China, who had changed the world in many ways, and was also an older brother to them, not their peer.

Despite Mo Mo's performance just now being exemplary among their peers, and even sharing the same character as Mi Lei.

This caused the atmosphere, which had just seemed a little more familiar, to instantly become somewhat distant.

However, Mo Mo didn't mind, and this was a good opportunity for him to say goodbye.

"Speaking of which, Momo, where do you live? I was worried about Lelouch and you, so I didn't pay attention when your companions left."

"Don't you know? Haven't I said anything?"

Mirei blinked and answered for Momo, saying, "Momo is staying at Karen's house in Japan. Karen is Momo's fiancée, so when Momo gets home later, he'll probably be interrogated by our Karen about what happened today, right?"

"Huh, how could this happen? Why didn't anyone tell me? Ahhh, my heart is aching so much! Karen and CC are such beauties!"

Rival cried out in distress, but then clutched his head and said, "President, Momo, I'm heartbroken. I'm going now. Don't stop me. What follows is my time to shed tears!"

With that, Rival laughed and jogged away. Watching him leave, Mirei sighed slightly and said, "Rival is still so understanding, but unfortunately, being understanding is of no use at all."

"So what do you mean by useful, Miss Mireille? Money, power, influence, status, or perhaps an enviable love?"

"Mr. Mo, please don't lecture me like a child. I'm already upset. Besides, Mr. Mo ruined the event I prepared today. Can't you see that I did this to win a chance to have dinner with you?"

Mirei stood in front of Mo Mo with an elegant smile on her lips. If she were wearing an evening gown, she would probably be a beautiful companion standing next to Mo Mo.

"Mr. Mo should have received the Ashford family's hint by now. If Mr. Mo values ​​me, it is possible for me to... stay here tonight."

As she spoke, Mirei took a step toward Momo, seemingly wanting to reach out her hand, but Momo smiled and avoided her.

"Indeed, I did receive the Ashford family's hint; they intend to arrange a blind date between you and me. But Miss Mireille, it's clearly an event today, and what you really wanted was Lelouch's ribbon. Although I managed to snatch it, are you just going to give up now?"

The elegant smile on Mirei's lips vanished, replaced by a hint of melancholy. She said, "Lelouch already has Shirley. Compared to Shirley, my feelings for Lelouch are truly unrequited. He has no feelings for me whatsoever."

"Unfortunately, I have no feelings for you, Miss Mirei. Although Miss Mirei is very beautiful, it's a pity that she doesn't move my heart."

"That's really hurtful, Mr. Mo. Even if I offered myself up, or even added the Ashford family to the mix, wouldn't you be tempted?"

Mo Mo didn't answer immediately, but stared at Mi Lei for a few seconds and said, "Miss Mi Lei, why treat yourself as a bargaining chip?"

"The burden on your shoulders isn't as heavy as you think, and your family isn't as heartless as you think. Otherwise, why would your parents have given away their entire fortune to come to Japan for the sake of the late Princess Marianne and their children Lelouch and Nunnally?"

"Trust me, go back and ask your parents, have an open and honest talk. Maybe that will help you face a new chapter in your life. Well then, farewell, I still need to go back and apologize to some people who have been waiting impatiently."

After saying that, Mo Mo left quietly, leaving Mi Lei, who was somewhat dazed, standing alone in the quiet night for a long time.

"Life... perhaps I really should thank you, Mr. Mo. Tonight, let me also speak from the heart."

After muttering a few words to herself, Millie left the student council, left Ashford Academy, and returned to the Ashford home.

Just as Momo had suggested, so much had happened today, it had really affected her. She didn't have many choices left, but that's precisely why she was willing to face her parents again for the sake of her future.

However, when she returned home, she saw someone she never expected.

"What, Miss Mireille, don't you recognize me, or are you not welcoming me?"

Xiuzner, who was talking to Millie's father, revealed a gentle smile.

Author's Note:

First update. I had something to do during the day, so the update is late. Sorry.

229 Human-shaped Wishing Machine

"Shu...Shu Zenair!"

Upon seeing Xiuzhenail suddenly appear here, Mirei's eyes widened immediately, and she tensed up.

She certainly knew Xiu Zenel.

After all, the Ashford family was once one of the top noble families in Britannia. They had a close relationship with Mariana and were in charge of the research and development and manufacturing of the third-generation Knightmare. The Ashford family brought huge profits and prestige.

Of course, with Marianne's death, the Knightmare, something that could change the course of the world war, could no longer remain in the Ashford family's hands.

However, this was not enough to weaken the Ashford family. The real reason for the Ashford family's decline was that, in order to protect Lelouch and Nunnally, the Ashford family was willing to sell a large amount of assets in Britannia at a low price and then take their wealth to Area 11, settling down in Japan.

During the height of the Ashford family's power, Mireille was naturally one of the most prominent noble ladies in Britannia's upper class.

She knew Lelouch, Nunnally, and Marianne since she was a child, so naturally she also knew Schneider.

As a child, Millie had a good impression of Shuzenal. To be precise, apart from Lelouch, no child would feel any ill will towards the kind and gentle Shuzenal.

However, now that Mireille is completely on the same side as Lelouch, she will naturally treat him the same way Lelouch treats Schneider.

Cautious, averse, even with a hint of wariness and fear.

Millie's reaction made Xiu Zenai sigh. He said to Millie's father, "It seems I am really disliked. But it's fortunate you are here, otherwise Miss Millie probably wouldn't have believed me so easily."

Mirei paused, then looked at her father. His voice was stern as he said, "Mirei, show some proper manners. Prince Xiuzenair... is at least not our enemy."

This time, Millie was truly stunned. Was Xiuzenair not their enemy?

"Mirey, this is what happened..."

"Your Excellency, why don't I tell Miss Mireille the whole story? Miss Mireille, if you have time, let me tell you a story about the late Princess Mariana."

Mirei frowned, but seeing her father nodding at her, she sat down quietly and said, "Please speak, Your Highness Xiuzenair, I'm listening."

"That would be perfect. In fact, it's a story about the truth behind Princess Mariana's passing."

So, Schönenel told Mireille the truth about Marianne's death. Although Mireille's father had heard it before, he was still shocked and furious.

In fact, Xiuzner knew a lot about Marianne's death. At that time, Xiuzner had not yet been Geassed by Charles of this world, but Charles valued his talent.

Therefore, covering up the truth about Marianne's death, secretly handling Marianne's remains, quelling the chaos in Aries Palace and stabilizing the situation in Britannia, and even arranging for Lelouch and Nunnally to go to Japan and secretly meet with Japanese Prime Minister Genbu Kururugi to finalize the matter between the two siblings, all of this was the work of Schusenel at the time.

It was precisely because of this that, although Xiu Zanair did not know much about Geass at that time, he already knew clearly that Marianne died at the hands of VV. VV was a demon who could not die or age, Charles's brother, and his uncle.

Schützner observed all of this and kept it in mind. This also made Schützner understand Charles's true purpose at that time: sending Lelouch and Nunnally to Japan was indeed to protect the two siblings.

Although they would be bullied by the Japanese if they were sent to Japan, Japan would guarantee their personal safety and basic dignity precisely because they were being held hostage by Japan.

Conversely, if the two siblings were allowed to remain in Britannia, there would be concerns that VV might consider eliminating them completely.

Now, because of Momo's arrival, the situation in the world has changed completely. Due to Momo's coercion and VV's madness, Charles eliminated VV prematurely, which also led Charles to apply Geass to Xiu Zaner and his group in order to stabilize Charles's rule.

However, Charles probably didn't expect that although VV hated Shuzenel extremely, he would eventually give Shuzenel the power to resist Geass, which was the same power that Uncle Orange had in the original work that could remove the effects of Geass from others.

No one knows how VV developed this power, but it was precisely because of VV's actions that Xiuzner was freed from the illusion of Charles being a "good father" and felt a great sense of responsibility.

Charles has gone mad.

VV had already gone mad, and now Charles has gone mad too, and Britannia is going to go mad as well.

After being freed from Geass, Xiuzhenair cautiously investigated information about Geass. Because the Order was wiped out by Momo's East Wind, there were very few systematic elements left in the Order. However, precisely because of this, many people who had connections with the Order, or even those who had escaped from the Order, had to enter the surface world.

This also made them targets of Shuzenel, who learned a lot about Geass from them.

After all, the progress and breakthroughs of Geass were actually achieved through the national strength of Britannia and the research of countless people. Charles's ideals needed the support of the entire Britannia, which was also the premise for many of Charles's actions.

By now, aside from not knowing what Charles was up to, Xiu Zanair already knew many truths, such as the power of Geass, the existence of Code, and the power of his blue eyes.

However, it didn't matter that he didn't know what Charles was going to do, but what Xiu Zanair knew very well was that his father had gone mad.

As an emperor, instead of caring about the country and the people, he indulged in a kind of illusory power and even frantically tried to use this power to do things, even using Geass on his children.

Such a person is not fit to be emperor; he will lead the entire Britannia and even the whole world into madness.

Therefore, Schüzerel stepped forward.
