Kamen Rider: I, Conan, am Faiz

"mom!"

Seeing her mother appear in time, Sera Masumi hurriedly wrapped herself in the quilt and hid behind the petite body of Akai Mary.

"Mom, Brother Xiuyi bullied me..."

"Mom knows. I'll take care of it for you."

After gently touching Sera Masumi's head to express her comfort, Akai Mary then put her hands on her hips and looked at her rebellious son Akai Shuichi.

"Humph!"

"thump!"

Akai Mary snorted heavily, and Conan straightened his back and knelt on the ground, while quickly holding his head with his hands!

The skill of his movements is so skillful that it makes people feel inexplicably distressed~

Everyone present???

"Ahem! Sorry, it's muscle memory... just pretend nothing happened."

With an awkward cough, Conan stood up and cleaned the dust off his knees, then quietly hid in an inconspicuous corner, trying to conceal his existence.

"You are Kudo Shinichi, right? I didn't expect we would meet again."

Noticing Conan's presence, Akai Mary's attention was immediately drawn to him, and then she came in front of Conan.

"Thank you very much for taking care of my two children."

"No... You're welcome. It's my duty..."

Looking at the other person's face that was almost identical to Ai, Conan began to sweat profusely unconsciously, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Um... Auntie, you just said [again], right? Have we met before?"

"Hmm? Didn't Masumi explain this to you?"

Akai Mary turned around and looked at her little daughter with some surprise.

In response, Sera Masumi blushed and lowered her head, looking as if she had no intention of explaining anything.

[Alas~ This child is really the same as before...]

Shaking her head helplessly, Akai Mary looked at Conan and continued, "Can you take me to your house? I have to meet my two nieces."

"Ah? Niece?"

"Ah~ It seems like there are still many things you don't know."

Akai Mary put her hands on her hips and introduced herself: "My original surname is Sera. Akemi and Shiho's mother, Elena, is my biological sister with the same father and mother."

---------------

Kudo family

"So... you brought me an aunt?"

"Come to think of it, Mom did mention that she had a sister before, but I didn't expect that..."

Looking at Akai Mary who suddenly came to visit, Ai and Miyano Akemi were stunned.

Compared to the dumbfounded Miyano sisters, Akai Mary was like an elder visiting relatives during the New Year, and she was quite talkative and gave gifts.

"Long time no see Mingmei, you have grown up in the blink of an eye. I remember when you were just born, I held you in my arms~"

"You are Shiho, right? We look really similar. I can tell at a glance that you inherited the excellent bloodline of our Sera family."

Looking down at the gifts in their hands, the Miyano sisters looked at each other and bowed in tacit understanding.

"Hello, auntie."

"Yeah, they are all good kids."

Akai Mari smiled and nodded like a kind elder, then suddenly turned around and shouted loudly at the door.

"Your Majesty!"

"thump!"

Conan scored twice, and fell to his knees again with practiced skill.

Everyone in the living room???

"Sorry, I heard it wrong~"

"Sit down!" (Osuwali)

"thump!"

Just when Conan was about to stand up and sit down, Ai suddenly shouted. Conan felt his soul tremble at this moment, and then he fell to the ground.

"I...what did I do wrong again?"

Turning to look at Ai, Conan's expression was obviously full of puzzlement and confusion, but Ai just smiled playfully and continued to taste her coffee.

Please don’t pay attention to this little episode. The person that Akai Mary was yelling at was her own rebellious son, Akai Shuichi.

"I heard about it! You little brat actually cheated on your cousin! Wait till I tell you how I'll deal with you! Now get to work!"

Since Conan's lawn has not been cleaned for a long time, it is now almost up to the height of his instep, and Shuichi Akai is pulling out the weeds with his bare hands under the scorching sun without any tools.

And this is exactly the punishment given by Akai Mary. By the way, it is also to prevent Miyano Akemi from seeing him, otherwise she would feel a little uncomfortable.

Akai Mari sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Mingmei, you've been wronged by this troublesome brat of mine. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back."

"No, Auntie, you are too kind."

She quickly bowed to Akai Mari in response, and at the same time, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but feel lucky that she wasn't with Akai Shuichi at the time, otherwise it would have been embarrassing.

After solving the household problems, Mary Akai sat down and started talking about business.

"Everyone present here is not an outsider. I think everyone should be aware of Ophino's situation and his shortcoming that his life span is only 20 years at most."

As soon as these words were spoken, Conan and his companions in the living room suddenly became serious. After all, this issue has always been a big concern for them.

Akai Mary continued: "Conan knows that my daughter Masumi also had a transformation belt before. She can complete the transformation without consuming the Ophiino factor. At the same time, the power she exerts should not be underestimated."

He took out the laptop he brought with him and started typing on the keyboard. Soon Faiz appeared on the screen... No, it was very different from the current Faiz!

The angular shoulder armor, the body with black patterns, and the conspicuous black energy disk on the chest all reveal his powerful strength!

(The 20th anniversary version was too ugly, so I found a fan art online to use as a model.)

"This is an upgraded version of Faiz's original combat system, codenamed NEXTFaiz. In addition to having far greater strength than it currently has, the transformation does not consume any of the Ophiino factor. As long as one's physique can accept the gushing energy, the transformation can be completed."

Reiko Akita was overjoyed when she heard this: "That means this little guy doesn't have to burn his life to fight anymore. Even ordinary people like us can dress up and fight, right?"

"In theory, that's true."

"yeah!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing the good news, Xiaolan and her group in the living room excitedly hugged each other to celebrate, feeling happy for Conan and themselves.

"But this is just a design drawing. There is no finished product yet."

Seeing that the atmosphere was so joyful, although Akai Mary felt a little reluctant, she still spoke out to reveal this cruel fact.

"The person who developed the new belt is a very capable inventor in our country, but... my company went bankrupt recently, so I can't come up with extra funds for research and development."

"Excuse me, it seems I heard something extraordinary."

Just at this moment, Hattori Heiji and Ooka Momiji walked into the Kudo family.

"I'm sorry, I tried my best, but she already knows everything..."

Facing the meaningful gazes of everyone present, the exhausted Hattori Heiji lowered his head.

Opening her folding fan to half-cover her face, Ooka Hongye got straight to the point and said, "Miss, how much is the minimum amount of money needed to develop the latest belt you mentioned?"

Mary Akai held her chin in thought for a moment, then gave a rough number.

"I'm afraid it will cost at least $500 million."
