"The agreement has been drafted, the extension of the imperial debt is indisputable, and the cabinet has decided to issue a new round of national debt, in the amount of 300 billion to 400 billion imperial coins, to balance the balance of payments, subsidize military spending, and social welfare. But this time the government bonds will not be issued domestically, and I think you can guess what is the purpose of such a strange move. ”

Kamiyu told the information he had just gotten to Yagami Yagami, a former member of the Black Knights and now the Governor of the Afghan Autonomous Prefecture of the Chinese Federation.

"That's a lot! And all of them are distributed overseas? Yagami asked in surprise.

It is not that the empire has not issued treasury bonds to the outside world, and for the sake of trade and currency stability, both the EU and the Chinese Federation have subscribed to the empire's treasury bonds. It's just that at this time, the empire has issued such a huge amount of national bonds, will the EU, as a belligerent, and the Chinese Federation, a potential belligerent, really subscribe to it?

"Although the Federal Republic of China is equal in wealth, corruption at the top is well known, and for the sake of property security, the purchase of imperial bearer treasury bonds is a fairly safe means, and considering the consideration of the eunuchs' own situation, it can probably digest one-third. And the rest"

"You're saying EU will buy it!?"

If the fact that Zero is the Prince of the Empire is at the top of his incredible list, then what he hears now is probably going to squeeze out the first place.

"Of course, it's not the EU government, it's the EU's big conglomerates."

"You're kidding!!" Of course, Yagami couldn't have thought that Kamiyu was joking with him, but there were so many things that surprised him.

The consortium of the EU is so rich? That's not billions, but at least more than 200 billion dollars! Not that question! Aren't they betraying the country by doing so? Yagami knew very well the taste of losing his motherland and being bullied, he really didn't understand why these people would betray the country when the country obviously still had great strength.

Too many questions couldn't be expressed in words for a while, and finally they just converged into this sentence: "You're kidding".

"So, you're telling me what I'm going to do here?"

However, Yagami quickly gave up asking, the economy was not his strong point, and he received hundreds of thousands of Japanese stranded in the EU, and now his rule is not a mess, but it is also a heavy burden, and there is not much room to pay attention to the rest.

"Pass this information to General Smyras of the EU in due course."

"That's it?"

"That's right, it's just enough."

The communication ended, and Kamiyu exhaled softly.

The EU's finances are in a very bad situation, and it will also face the same situation this year as the empire - the debt is due. As much as $18 trillion in liabilities, even with interest, is an astronomical amount for any organization or polity. In the past, when the EU was strong, it was possible to carry out quantitative easing to cause the output of other countries to decline, but now?

Once the EU decides to defer its debt and raise the ceiling, only the EU citizens and major corporations will pay the bill.

Compared with letting these consortia be white-blooded, it is a good choice to turn to the empire. Besides, isn't the former Kyoto Rokuya in Ward 11 a good example? The imperial treasury bond is a nominee, and these funds are distributed to its major funds, although 2, 300 billion is not a lot, but it is a profitable business. By the time the EU economy collapses completely, these government bonds will be worth more than gold.

Now Kamiyu finally knows the real reason why the big chaebols are calling on the major domestic investment banks, companies and companies. The money needs to be shared by everyone, but the tickets that can be used on the bus are limited. As for how many people will jump off the building at that time, and the big conglomerates who hitch a ride will kill them?

"Equality of rights? Isn't the law of competition where big fish eat small fish? ”

Just as Kamiyu sneered, the communicator suddenly rang again.

"Kamiyu-sama, there's bad news, above."

"Bad news" Kamiyu's mood sank suddenly, as long as Musashi said it was bad news, it would definitely not be good news.

"Let's talk about it, then."

"C.C. went to the Suzaku welcome party held by Ashuford College without permission."

"That idiot!" Despite his words, Kamiyu didn't worry too much.

Although Ashude Academy is the base camp of the Secret Intelligence Bureau in Area 11, it must have been controlled by Lelouch with Geass now, so there is not much danger for C.C. to go. As for the Juki Suzaku as the protagonist, I'm afraid that Milei's personality won't make it easy for him.

And, "But Musashi's words haven't been finished yet, so naturally the result can't be judged so easily."

"Monica-sama also went to Ashford Academy, and it seems that she has noticed C.C.-sama's appearance, but she hasn't fully confirmed it yet."

Well, that's bad news indeed. Before Musashi could finish his words, Kamiyu jerked to his feet.

"I'll go over now!"

Ashurford College

"Speaking of which, did Count Lloyd say anything?" Mi Lei suddenly asked Suzaku.

Because of the rejection of Kamiyu's proposal or the accidental death of Kamiyu, the proposal finally fell through, and Mirey finally couldn't escape the fate of the blind date arranged by the family. In fact, there are times when Mi Lei regrets a little, and if she had agreed to be the prime minister's administrative assistant, she might not have so many headaches.

"Nothing" is eager to do something for the rapport between Lloyd and Mirey, but Royd's eccentric personality makes Suzaku wonder where to start.

"Probably surprised, right? Not only did she repeat a grade, but she also postponed her wedding," Mi Lei's smile was a little complicated.

At this time, she didn't know whether she should feel relaxed because of her fiancé's lack of interest, or feel helpless because of her lack of charm.

"No!! That person may be very special from a human point of view."

Just as Suzaku realized that he had said the wrong thing and was about to make amends, the quill pen in his hand aroused the interest of the black cat named Arthur he raised. The agile black figure was so fast that Suzaku didn't even have time to react, so he snatched the quill in his hand in one gulp.

"Arthur! It's Yuffie's!! The cherished treasure was taken away, and Suzaku didn't care to continue to comfort Milei and chased after Arthur.

"Suzaku! The main character is going to be here to standby!! The giant pizza making event was about to begin, and Mi Lei chased after her

"Just for such a thing, what a wayward woman. I really don't know what His Highness likes about her!? Isn't Monica-sama very nice? ”

After finding the giant cheese-kun puppet from the student council's lost and found, Mia complained depressedly.

It's true that girls love cute things, but it's so eye-catching to walk around school with such a big thing. The safest thing in this school is to be an ordinary student who has a few friends, but is not so well-known, rather than a topic of conversation.

"Wait!"

Hearing this command, Mia reflexively stopped.

"The army orders to kill people!" The moment she stopped, Mia regretted it.

"What should I do?"

Mia's mind began to spin rapidly. Although it is not a matter of knowing Monica, this is the territory of the Intelligence Agency, whether it is on the side of Lelouch or the Empire, if it is revealed that she was once and now a member of Kamiyu's personal guard, her situation will be quite dangerous.

"Get this out of the way and show me your face!"

The sound is getting closer.

Sure enough, it still is

"Run!"

Mia didn't say a word, turned around and fled.

"Stop!!"

The other party wanted to escape, and Monica naturally had to chase after him.

And in another secluded corner of the campus.

Lulu corrects the tomatoes in the container, and later the entire box of tomatoes will be transported by Suzaku with three generations of Knightmare to be used as a filling for a giant pizza.

It's just that for Lelouch, this event can be said to be boring, and until there is a certain extent to which the Geass of the Emperor's modification of memories has been imposed on everyone, there is no benefit in rashly having too much contact with Suzaku, and it may even make Suzaku suspicious of the collective 'apostasy' of the intelligence bureau in the school.

Therefore, from the very beginning of the event, Lelouch almost completely avoided meeting Suzaku at school on the grounds that the student vice president was busy with affairs.

"Lulu"

Just as Lelouch was thinking, Xia Li's shy voice sounded behind him.

"Xia Li, what are you dressed for?" Lelouch who turned around was immediately stunned.

I saw Xia Li wearing a school swimsuit, but with a maid's headdress on her head, nylon stockings and high heels on her legs, and a ridiculous apron around her waist, it is no wonder that such a nondescript dress will not make people feel stunned.

"Sure enough, weird?" Lelouch's rhetorical question suddenly made Xia Li blush.

"It's nothing, I just think it's a bit avant-garde," Lelouch replied, clearly slapping Ha Luha.

But the girl in love didn't care about it at the moment

"It's just the two of us right now, so it's not good, I always feel like this is an opportunity!!" What a girl in love cares about at the moment is naturally full of dating, or dating, and the idea of dating.

"That! Lulu, join me if you can."

It's just that before Xia Li's words were finished, she saw a huge beaver puppet that appeared out of nowhere and swallowed Lelouch's head into her mouth.

"Hey! What the hell are you thinking? If it is discovered! Inside the puppet, Lelouch asked angrily.

"You think I'm willing?" Karene replied angrily.

"That sponsor rep sneaked in, and her cold-faced maid asked me to take her back!"

Well, Lelouch started to have a headache. C.C actually ran into the school, in case Suzaku found out

"That pizza girl must be near the giant pizza making site, just go there and find her and bring her back!"

At the same time as Lelouch gave the hint.

"What the hell is going on with you?" Xia Li, who dragged Lelouch out, accidentally threw Lelouxiu aside, and instead questioned the beaver puppet. It may be that the opportunity to be alone with Lelouch was broken like this, and Xia Li decided to sprinkle this unwilling resentment on Kalian.

Karen, who wanted to escape, couldn't get rid of Xia Li's entanglement because of the bulky prop costume.

"Lelouch!"

At this time, Suzaku and Miray also followed Arthur here.

"See Arthur? It took my precious quill in its mouth."

"Stand on the !!"

The girl holding the giant cheese-kun puppet and a girl with long golden orange hair ran towards this direction at a rapid speed.

"That's it! Secretary Kurushevsky!! Suzaku recognized the true identity of the girl chasing after him at a glance.

"The Twelfth Knight of the Round Table!?" Lelouxiu, who heard Suzaku's whisper, reacted immediately, and then leaned against the back of the container silently.

Although 8 years have passed, Lelouch can't guarantee that Monica will forget what she looks like.

The intention is good, but unfortunately the reality is often bizarre.

The container suddenly rose, revealing Lelouch's figure again.

"This is the starting point, right?" A Lotte voice came from Knightmare, who was holding up the box.

"Keno!? You're here too? Suzaku asked in surprise.

"Yes! The common people's school is so much fun! With that, Keno rushed out of the house with Knightmare on his feet.

"Stop!!" Monica, who was chasing Mia, then rushed past the group.

"Meow~"

"Arthur!" Alarmed by Knightmare, Arthur continued his escape, but his direction remained the same as that of Knightmare, and most importantly, he still had the precious quill in his mouth.

"Arthur!!" So Suzaku pulled his legs and chased after him.

"Wait, this route!" If the group arrives at the pizza-making point, then C.C

Thinking of this, Lelouch also resolutely ran.

Karen, who took advantage of everyone's attention to leave, naturally ran towards the direction that Lelouch was pointing to, just

"Wait! At least show me your face! "Charlie is down to her, the date breaker.

"It seems to be funny" Although it has nothing to do with her, she likes to be lively, and she doesn't care about her shepherdess's long dress, and runs up with the corner of her skirt.

In this way, a seemingly unrelated, but faintly related, week-long chase around the campus began.

"I've been wondering if such a high school is a little too big!?"

After a gust of wind blew, a young man holding a large black umbrella suddenly appeared in the shade of the boulevard on a sunny day.

"Although C.C hasn't been caught by Monica yet, thanks to the large area of this school, it's quite troublesome to find someone."

As the boy spoke, a Knightmare sped off the road in front of him, and the wind that hung up made the boy shrink his neck involuntarily.

Then a group of people sped after Knightmare.

"What kind of weird activity is this the Great Demon King is doing?"

The young man who came out of the shade of the trees was still looking in the direction where everyone had left.

'Bang'

"Yikes!" After the collision, there was a short female scream.

"I'm sorry, you're fine!"

Mi Lei, who found that she had hit someone, said apologetically, but after seeing the person she had knocked down, Mi Lei was stunned.
