Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

"Ah~"

Looking at the two big houses of Dr. Agasa and the Kudo family, Xiaolan sighed a little disappointed, and then staggered on crutches to go home.

"Excuse me, may I bother you for a moment?"

"Ok?"

Hearing the sudden voice behind her, Xiaolan subconsciously turned her head and saw that Xiaoai had appeared behind her with her hands on her shoulders.

"Xiao Ai? Why are you…"

"This is not the place to talk, come with me."

Cafe Private Room

"Do you want it with sugar or plain?"

"I...have some candy. I want to eat something sweet recently."

After understanding Xiaolan's needs, Xiaoai skillfully brewed a cup of sugared coffee and brought it to Xiaolan.

"please."

"Thank you...thank you."

I didn't expect a child to be so skilled in making coffee. Xiaolan took the coffee in a daze and took a sip.

[Well, it would be better if it were a little sweeter. ]

"Thank you, Ai. The coffee you made is really delicious."

"It's just so-so. After all, I've been brewing for several years, so I should know a little bit." Facing Xiaolan's praise, Xiaoai seemed particularly calm, and then she began to taste the coffee in her hand.

After hearing what Xiao Ai said, Xiao Lan was obviously stunned for a moment, but then she smiled and said, "Xiao Ai, you are really humorous. How old are you and you said you have been drinking coffee for so many years."

"Eighteen years old."

"what?"

Facing Xiaolan's surprise, Xiaoai put down her coffee cup and explained: "Actually, the name Haibara Ai is a pseudonym given to me by Dr. Agasa. My real name is Miyano Shiho, and my code name in the organization is Shirley. APTX4869, which turned your childhood sweetheart Kudo Shinichi into a child, was developed by me."

"what!"

Upon hearing this sudden and unexpected news, Xiaolan stood up immediately, but her injured left leg was unable to support her and she sat back in the chair almost the next moment.

Xiao Ai: "Don't be so nervous, I defected from the organization a long time ago, and it was Kudo Shinichi who took me in, so you don't need to worry that I will pose a threat."

“Oh, I’m sorry~”

Realizing that she was a little too excited, Xiaolan apologized embarrassedly.

Seeing that Xiaolan was able to accept it so quickly, Xiaoai's eyes flashed with surprise, and then continued: "I heard that you already know that Kudo Shinichi's true identity is Ophio, right? So can you tell me what you think now?"

"I...I don't know what I'm thinking. My mind is in a mess right now."

Faced with this question, Xiaolan lowered her head subconsciously, and her voice became much softer than before.

"It's normal to be afraid. After all, the Ophiinos you've met are all murderous demons. And now your childhood sweetheart who has been with you day and night is actually Ophiino. It's normal to be afraid. But it's also ironic that the hero who protects humans from being harmed by Ophiino is actually Ophiino."

"No... Shinichi... Shinichi is not a devil!"

With her fists clenched tightly, Xiaolan gritted her teeth and raised her head firmly, saying: "I can feel that Shinichi is completely different from those Ophiinos. He suddenly lost control in order to protect me, so Shinichi is definitely not a demon! He is an amazing hero!"

"Clap clap clap."

After listening to Xiaolan's speech, Xiaoai clapped lightly, and said with a hint of appreciation: "Your answer is beyond my expectation. It seems that I did underestimate you, but this is the only way to be a valuable opponent."

Huali ignored what Xiao Ai said next. Xiaolan said with a frustrated look: "I'm not afraid that Shinichi is Ophio, but I don't understand why Shinichi won't tell me the truth? If he tells me, I will definitely be able to accept it."

"Really? Then can you accept the fact that Kudo Shinichi will only live for less than 20 years~"

"What did you say!"

Xiaolan's pupils suddenly shrank into needle shapes and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You...you're kidding, right?"

"I'm sorry, but I'd rather this be a prank than you would, if that's all right."

With a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, Xiao Ai pretended to be nonchalant and explained: "Ophiino's life span is only twenty years at most, and as the transformation and battle progress, the Ophiino factor in the body will be consumed, so Kudo Shinichi or Edogawa Conan will not live for twenty years at all."

"how come……"

As if she couldn't accept this fact, Xiaolan felt as if all her bones were pulled out. She lay powerlessly on the table, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Ah~"

Seeing Xiaolan's sad look, Xiaoai, who felt the same way, sighed softly, then came to Xiaolan and reminded her.

"Think about it carefully. You are now in the most beautiful period of blooming flowers. If you can't accept this fact, then I advise you to choose to quit and find someone else to start your life again. There will be a suitable person who can accompany Kudo Shinichi to spend the remaining time."

After saying that, Xiaoai patted Xiaolan's shoulder gently, then left without looking back.

"Shinichi..."

Xiaolan lay on the table with her body trembling, and couldn't help sobbing. At the same time, she made a decision deep in her heart.

Teitan High School Art Performance

"Xiaolan, are you okay? Your leg injury hasn't fully healed yet. Why don't you take a break?"

Facing the concern of the senior from the drama club, Xiaolan smiled and waved her hands: "Don't worry, I'm fine. After all, everyone has worked so hard for this performance for so long, how can it be temporarily suspended because of me? Besides, the tickets have already been sent out, right?"

"But what about the role of the prince? Originally, Sonoko was supposed to help, but she caught a cold and had a fever. Now even the backstage work is in chaos."

"I can help with this kind of thing."

Jumping up and grabbing the project list, Xiao Ai began to read the arrangements carefully.

"Little sister, you?"

"Why are you looking at me? Have you arranged the reception staff? Have you adjusted the lighting? Have you prepared the stage props? If not, hurry up!"

"Yes Yes."

Overwhelmed by Ai's powerful aura, the senior from the drama club hurriedly followed her instructions.

Xiaolan smiled and thanked him: "Thank you, Ai, you're a great help."

"Go to the stage quickly, I am all you need here."

Without directly responding to Xiaolan's thanks, Xiaoai turned around and began to direct the students of the drama club to perform their respective duties.

Looking at Xiaoai's back, Xiaolan showed a faint smile on her lips, and then she raised her head and looked towards the ceiling.

After a short busy period, the drama performance finally began. The content of this drama is actually similar to "Beauty and the Beast". It tells the story of a princess who got lost in the forest and encountered danger, and finally escaped successfully after a series of adventures.

As the curtain slowly opened, the princess played by Xiaolan sat on a stone prop. This was of course a temporary arrangement by the drama club, mainly considering Xiaolan's leg injury.

Taking a deep breath to adjust her mentality, Xiaolan then said loudly like a real princess: "It's a dark and scary forest. Why am I here? Can anyone take me out of the darkness?"

"bump!"

Just as Xiaolan finished her words, a figure suddenly fell from the ceiling, raising a cloud of dust.

When the dust completely dissipated, the wolf Ofiino appeared on the stage, receiving the surprised gazes of the audience and staff.

And the moment Xiaolan saw the wolf Ophiino appear, the curve of Xiaolan's mouth on the stage suddenly rose a little more.
