At the Ningen Adventurer's Guild on that same day which was big, tall and well groomed, Doraemon gives everyone some equipment plates that he had just opened to Shizuka, Giant and Suneo. These said "Team Dora"
-HOW DID YOU NOT PUT "GIANT TEAM"?!- The robust man demands, somewhat indignant.
-I had the initiative to come here to rescue Nobita and you decided to follow me, so I will name the team whatever I want- Doraemon says somewhat indignant.
-I think it's a cute name- Shizuka says while the flowers in his hair shine.
-Well, at least it's not "Team Dorayaki", that would have been humiliating- Suneo says, exhausted.
-OH MY GOD! THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD NAME! I can change the team name after 15 days only 2 times, so... - Doraemon says excitedly but...
-DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!- Giant and Suneo shout, annoyed.
-Well, since we are adventurers, for today let's look for a mission to level up, so we will be closer to rescuing Nobita- Shizuka says enthusiastically
The 4 of them approach the quest board and Suneo takes a look at the team ranking board.
-Once we save the fool Nobita, we are going to raise the level of the team and be the best possible- says the dwarf with a mischievous look.
-Yeah, you're right Sueno!- Giant says with emotion.
Shizuka was looking at the quest board when suddenly she heard a couple of adventurers, one of them was a skinny archer who was telling something.
-And that?- Says the girl with the pigtails.
-Did you know what happened on the outskirts of Ningen?- Says the human archer
-What happened?- Asks the other adventurer.
-One of the Demon King's generals appeared in the rock dungeon while holding the arm of a human boy with peculiar clothes, the poor kid was crying while being taken inside the dungeon, he is probably going to mistreat him using the dungeon boss just for fun- says the archer out loud.
-A human boy with peculiar clothes?- Shizuka thinks and is startled -Could it be that he is...?-
The girl can't help but approach to get more information
-Excuse me and good morning gentlemen adventurers, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I know I shouldn't pry into adult conversations, but by any chance did that human child who mentions that he was dragged to the dungeon have glasses and his shirt was yellow?- Shizuka asks hopefully
-Good morning little nymph. Don't worry, but yes, as the people told me, that was part of his description.- Says the smiling archer.
-So it's him!- Shizuka thinks while he is startled -A-and tell me. How could I get to that dungeon?- Says the girl with the pigtails.
-I don't recommend it for now. It's a dungeon for newbies, but now that there is a Demon King's general hanging around, it can be dangerous for F-rank adventurers like you, little one, although if you wait a little, the general will leave and the dungeon will no longer have such a high danger, it's possible that he took his slave again, since according to what they told me, the child had a slavery collar- Says the archer.
-I understand, thank you very much Sir archer- he lowers his head to thank and runs away while the archer smiles a curious smile.
Shizuka runs to where her friends were, very agitated by the news, it was now or never.
-Guys, guys, I know where Nobita is!- Shizuka shouts, approaching the others.
-Well, of course you know, we all know that he is in Akuman- Suneo says confused.
-No, now he's not! He's in a dungeon near here!- Says the girl with the pigtails while the others are startled.
-How is Nobita in one of Ningen's dungeons?! How did you find out?!- Says Doraemon startled.
-I accidentally overheard a conversation between two adventurers, so I kindly asked them to give me more information. The archer who was talking about it told me that a Demon King's General had taken a boy with peculiar clothes to the bottom of the rocky dungeon in order to mistreat him using the dungeon boss. And the description of him fits with Nobita- Mentions the nymph girl.
-Really?- The blue cat asks and Shizuka nods her head.
-But he says that the general's stay is temporary, and as soon as he leaves, he will surely return to Akuman taking Nobita back there- Shizuka says worriedly.
-It's our only chance to rescue Nobita today. We have to go to the dungeon!- Says Doraemon determinedly.
-But he is a general of the Demon King, those have S rank and we have barely formed a team and we are F rank, we have no chance of beating him. It's better to let him go and then rescue Nobita when we are stronger!- Suneo mentions nervously.
-Do you not realize that they are going to mistreat Nobita there?! The Demon King is mistreating our friend and he won't be able to do anything about it because according to the archer, he has a slavery collar!- Shizuka says that seriously and Doraemon gets upset.
-A slave collar?! With that, not even the strongest can resist obeying or fighting against his master! If he has one of those, Nobita won't be able to refuse them or defend himself!- Says the blue cat annoyed
-So that's it, we're going to go to that dungeon, we sneak in and rescue Nobita from that general and we leave quickly too! Of course, after punching him for torturing our friend!- Says a determined Giant
-Anyway, I can't stay here at the Guild and wait for them, right?- Suneo says with his head down.
-No, you can't, if we go, let's all go!- Says the robust one while he grabs Suneo and pulls him running with the others.
-We will do as Giant said and we will rescue Nobita without the need for direct combat to prevent the general from hurting us guys, let's go!-
Doraemon says that seriously as everyone leaves the guild towards the outskirts of Ningen.
-Wait Nobita, we're going there- Doraemon thinks decidedly.
After a good while of running, the guys reached the Rocky Dungeon, the entrance was huge like a cave and had lanterns on the sides.
-The Rocky Dungeon is one of the dungeons par excellence for newbies, it's said that at the bottom of it is the boss of the dungeon and that it hides a special treasure that until now no one has been able to get out no matter how many times they have defeated the "Monster," says Doraemon, checking his notebook.
-How does a monster die and revive?- Says the robust man, confused.
-It's just a dungeon, Giant, the monsters including the boss come back to life 24 hours after the dungeon was explored so that in this way the adventurers can gain experience or items from monsters without worrying about the dungeons running out- Suneo says -What? You are not the only ones who studied the way of life of the adventurers of this world- the dwarf boy claims indignantly.
-Doraemon has an advantage in this dungeon since most of the monsters here are of the earth elemental type.- Suneo mentions.
-Then we can make our way to the end of the dungeon, but in any case we must gain all the experience we can, so we can prepare a counterattack if necessary to escape from that place with Nobita- Says the determined blue cat -The time has come-
The 4 enter the dungeon, it was adorned with lanterns of flames that illuminated the place and as they crossed, a horde of level 2 rock monsters emerge from the walls of the dungeon ready to attack Team Dora.
-Rock monsters!- Shizuka points out
-They are level 2, this is our chance to get rid of them and gain experience!- Doraemon shouts, taking out his wind staff from his pocket.
The 4 determined to rescue their friend fight the monsters using the powers that Illumia gave them.
A couple of hours pass and the tired and a little battered guys manage to reach the end of the dungeon, Giant, Suneo and Shizuka were able to go up to level 7 while Doraemon went up to level 9 due to an elemental type advantage.
-I feel stronger now that I'm level 7!- Shizuka says as they walk towards the end of the dungeon.
-We have finished off all the rock monsters, and there were quite a few! The boss will be simple!- Giant says, snapping his fingers.
Doraemon searches in his pocket -Now that I am at level 9, I can take two gadgets out of my pocket, hopefully one of them will be the Anywhere door, it would help us get Nobita out of here without the general destroying us-
The blue cat comes out with two inventions: A capcopter and the gourmet tablecloth for eaters. Doraemon have a poker face
-Well, at least we won't be hungry- says the robust one, rubbing his happy belly.
-Except for the capcopter, it's a bit disappointing result- says the blue cat as he takes the capcopter -And it's just one, what a tricky ability. Anyway, I'll continue using wind magic more- the cat sighs disappointedly while he puts away the tablecloth and capcopter.
-It's not like you can get something useful when we need it if you have 100% of your pocket- Suneo mocks in which Doraemon indignantly looks at him mad.
-But...- Doraemon has an idea -I can use the capcopter to rescue Nobita while you distract the general!-
-Anyway, since- Suneo says disappointed.
-Guys look down there!-
Shizuka points to something below, the guys approach and see that they were on top of everything and that below was the home of the head of the dungeon, there was a cage, and there was "Nobita" with his normal clothes, barefoot, hurt, crying and with the slave collar on his neck.
-HELP DORAEMON, HELP MEEEEE, I'M AFRAID!- Screams the "silly boy" while he was kneeling and crying, apparently the head of the dungeon had not yet made his appearance nor had the Demon King's general who had taken him over there.
The blue cat sees his friend trapped -I can't believe it, it's Nobita, it's true that he is here!-
Doraemon exalted to see that now could be the only chance to save him before he returns to Akuman
