Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

"I am back."

"Welcome home Conan, how was your music class today?"

Seeing Conan coming back, Xiaolan, who was cooking in the kitchen, quickly turned off the fire and rushed over. Then, while skillfully taking off the schoolbag for the little boy, she asked about his experience today with concern.

"That's all. Sister Xiaolan, you know my musical level well."

Out of the corner of his eye he noticed Kogoro Mouri drinking and watching TV at his desk again. Conan pretended to be casual and leaned close to Xiaolan's ear to tell her that Akemi Miyano had woken up.

Xiaolan was overjoyed when she heard this: "Really? That's great!"

"Shh! Xiaolan, don't be so loud."

"Hmm? What's so great?"

Attracted by Xiaolan's sudden shout, Kogoro, who was already half drunk, turned his head dazedly and asked.

"Um... I mean Conan, he has made great progress in his studies today, so that's great."

"Oh."

Fortunately, Xiaolan reacted quickly enough, and Kogoro was not very conscious, so this little incident was finally dealt with safely.

After dealing with her dog-father, Xiaolan pulled Conan into the kitchen and turned on the range hood as a cover.

"That's great! Miss Mingmei finally woke up, but..."

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Xiaolan seemed to be hesitant to speak, Conan hurriedly asked.

After some hesitation, Xiaolan expressed her inner worries: "Shinichi, I remember you said that Miss Mingmei was resurrected by accepting the Ophieno factor in your body, so will she also become Ophieno?"

"will not."

Conan answered affirmatively: "The Ophieno factor was processed when it was extracted, so Ms. Mingmei cannot turn into Ophieno, but she also has the ability to transform with the belt."

Recalling the battle scene when Miyano Akemi transformed into Delta, Conan is still frightened. If he hadn't discovered at the last critical moment that the other party was his own, who knows what would have happened later.

Of course, Conan would never tell Xiaolan about this.

"Phew~ Then I feel relieved."

Caressing her chest and letting out a long sigh, Xiaolan patted Conan's head affectionately.

"Go take a good rest first. I'll make your favorite dumplings later, Shinichi."

"Thank you, Xiaolan."

Conan responded to Xiaolan's hard work with a smile and was about to turn around and leave, but the next moment Xiaolan suddenly grabbed his arm.

Conan was puzzled: "What's wrong, Xiaolan?"

"Mum~"

The next moment, Xiaolan's delicate lips gently pressed against Conan's forehead, and this action instantly made Conan's breathing rapid.

Slowly separating from Conan, Xiaolan blushed and said, "You've worked hard in class today, Conan. This is a reward for you. How do you feel?"

Conan is dumbfounded...

"Shinichi?"

"Yes...Is it true that I can be comforted as long as I go to music class every day and come back?"

"Hey?"

When Xiaolan heard this, she was stunned at first, then she lowered her head with a slightly red face. However, Conan did not give up, but adjusted the angle to look at Xiaolan.

"Um……"

Seeing Conan's expectant expression, Xiaolan nodded shyly.

After getting a positive answer, Conan couldn't control his excited expression at all!

"I love music! Yeah!"

"Mu!"

While Xiaolan was not paying attention, Conan did the opposite and rushed out of the kitchen as fast as he could, leaving Xiaolan alone in the kitchen for a long time without coming to her senses.

"Shinichi... you are really bold~"

Gently stroking the remaining warmth on her cheeks, Xiaolan's face suddenly became more rosy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise wildly.

After running out of the kitchen, Conan rushed straight back into the room, then lay flat on the bed, grinning foolishly.

"Hehe~ I'm so happy..."

"Dilili!"

Hearing Faiz's cell phone ringing, Conan quickly picked it up and put it to his ear: "Moses, Moses."

"Hey Shin-chan, you sound very happy, did something good happen~"

"Mom."

Hearing Yukiko's greeting from the other end of the phone, Conan's good mood instantly disappeared, and his tone sounded weak.

"What's the matter, Mom? Why did you suddenly remember to call me?"

"You little bastard, you actually spoke to your own mother in such a tone. I'm so sad for you~嘤嘤嘤!"

"Hello..."

Faced with Yukiko's professional fake crying, Conan helplessly revealed his half-moon eyes.

"Forget it. I can't count on you, brat. I can only count on my daughters-in-law from now on. Come on, Xiaoxin~"

Resisting the urge to turn off the phone, Conan issued a final warning: "Is there anything important? If not, I'll hang up. My phone is almost out of credit."

"Hashi Bean Sack! Hashi Bean Sack! Shin-chan, you should have received the gift your mother sent you, right? How is it? Isn't it very useful~"

It would have been better if this matter had not been mentioned. After it was mentioned, Conan immediately remembered the experience of being beaten up by Delta.

"It's very useful... Although I haven't used it, I have personally witnessed it. I was beaten so hard that I couldn't even raise my head..."

Not getting the point at all, Youxizi said happily: "It's OK as long as it's useful. Originally, your father was going to give the belt to your cousin, but your mother spent a lot of effort to get it. Although it's a small price to pay..."

"Hehe... wait, cousin? Where does my cousin come from? Isn't dad an only child?" Conan realized the key information in Yukiko's words and asked decisively.

I only heard the other end of the phone fall into deathly silence, and then...

"Sorry, the number you dialed is out of payment. Please try again later. Saorui*#*%#..."

Conan???

"That's too much! Who would believe you if you said you owed phone bills at this time? Could you act more convincingly?"

However, no matter how Conan roared, he could not change the fact before him.

Meanwhile, America

“Huh~ I finally got it over with… It hurts, it hurts! Yusaku, be gentle! It hurts!”

"Dangdang!"

"Honey, why did you kick me?"

At this moment in a mansion in New York, Tomokiko was lying exhausted on the sofa, while the famous writer Kudo Yusaku was sitting on the floor with an ointment in his hand, with a humble look on his face.

"Humph! Kicking you is the least of my worries. My waist aches because of you. You just... you just want to get something good from your father who doesn't care about anything. Otherwise, I won't do such a loss-making business. Don't just stand there! Rub it for me! It hurts so much!"

"Yes, yes, I'll rub it right away."

Climbing up from the ground with a helpless look on his face, Kudo Yusaku gave his wife a massage with eyes full of doting, while Tomoko was enjoying this moment like a docile kitten.

"But honey, you came too suddenly. I had already discussed it with my brother, and now I have broken my promise. I hope my brother won't be angry with me."

Yukiko curled her lips nonchalantly: "Tsk~ What does it matter? Besides, the belt can only be used by Ophieno, so your brother's son shouldn't be one of them? Or does he want his son to become Ophieno too?"

Kudo Yusaku smiled bitterly and said, "That's true. I think my brother will understand. After all, becoming Ophiinho is not a good thing."

"That's pretty much it."

With a rather smug snort, Youxizi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Kudo Yusaku with some worry and said: "Honey, what should we do with Xiaolan's child? Although it seems that there is no problem now, what if something unexpected happens..."

"Relax honey, there's no need to be so nervous."

Putting his hands on his wife's shoulders and gently holding her in his arms, Kudo Yusaku comforted her: "Everything will have an outcome. Some things can't be kept secret forever. We, as elders, can only do our best. The rest is up to the children themselves."

"Alas, I can only hope for a good outcome."

Yukiko rarely showed a melancholy expression, then slowly turned her head to look at the neon lights outside the window.

[If only I hadn’t brought Xiaoxin and Xiaolan to New York that day…]
