-I... I decided to return to Earth with you- The guys are startled when they hear the silly boy speak, Doraemon approaches, curious about his decision.

-Are you sure? You aren't going to become the Guardian of Illumia-

-And you will have to say goodbye to Kioji and the others like us- Shizuka mentions

-And you will have to return to the routine of Earth, of course we aren't going to bother you like we did- Says Suneo

-And you will stop being the Lightning Swordsman and that name sounded great- Says Gian

-Is that what you want, Nobita?- Dorami asks worriedly.

Nobita nods -I know I'm going to miss a lot of Illumia and I'll really miss my friends here and also being the Swordsman of Illumia. But it's better to go back, we've helped them a lot, and although it would have been interesting to be a Guardian, I would miss everything and everyone on Earth. It's going to hurt me to say goodbye to them but... I must return to my home, after all, I promised to improve, right?- He smiles -Let's share together what we have left before saying goodbye to them-

The guys nod and return to the throne room where everyone was waiting for them, they stand in front of King Jenner. -Have you already reached a consensus?- The King asks and everyone nods.

-I thank you very much for the offer that you have given me, your majesty. But I have to deny it, it's that despite having spent these months here and helping everyone, I really miss Earth.-

Nobita's response makes Lillie sad but she smiles anyway because she wanted the best for him. Dekisugi, Sakura and Kioji look at each other and nod. -I see, it's a shame.- King Jenner says -But, thank you very much for everything you have done so far for us-

-We understand Nobi, in the same way, thank you for everything so far- says the magician boy smiling.

-We already knew that you would choose your home- Sakura says a little sadly but without him realizing it.

-I have mentally prepared myself for this, don't worry- Kioji says

-How about we spend our last day in Illumia with a big farewell party? I want to take a nice memory from here- Nobita says encouraging his friends.

-It's a great idea!- Sakura says excitedly. -Let's make good memories and say goodbye in style.-

-In that case, today there will be a great banquet with dancing tonight in honor of Liberation Day and as a farewell for all of you as guests of honor, I'll get you some suits and dresses for the event- Says King Jenner.

While the guys were talking happily about the party, Lillie decides to leave the place along with Elianna, Dekisugi stares at her. Lillie takes a deep breath to calm herself. -Everything is alright? I know you are going to miss them all, especially a certain boy.- Elianna says

Lillie's look was lost but she smiled at the end -I just needed to get some air-

Dekisugi also leaves the throne room -I know you are trying to be strong, but there is one thing you must do and you know it-

-It doesn't make sense at this point. But I wish with all my heart that things go well for him, he has helped me a lot and now I can enjoy a more enjoyable freedom.- Says the little blonde

The wizard boy smiles -I know that, but you should still do it, at least to leave this closed. Consider it, your highness-

Lillie is left thinking about what Dekisugi said. In the evening at Ningen Castle, a grand celebration party was held for Liberation Day. King Jenner had asked his servants to give them the best gala clothes for them, shining their characteristic colors, well dressed and watching everyone dance in the great hall, Kioji and Sakura's relatives were also invited. -Come on Kioji, you can't take off your jacket- Karin, his older sister tells him that.

-Being like a penguin isn't my style- says the ninja boy, adjusting the collar of his suit. -I feel like a prisoner with this thing.-

-That's right, how hot this is- says Gian doing the same.

-But you look very good that way- Sakura says with her purple dress.

-Obviously yes, everything looks good on me- says Gian, all proud, scratching his nose and blushing.

-Doraemon. Where is Shizuka?- Says Nobita in a suit.

The blue cat also had his suit and Dorami a dress. -She's still upstairs getting ready, she'll come down, don't worry-

A handsome, blonde nobleman approaches Dorami and extends his hand. -May I have this piece, Miss?-

-Oh, of course. This is really like a fairy tale- Dorami goes to dance with the nobleman and Doraemon notices it.

-HEY! That's my sister!- The blue cat looks at Nobita -Wait for her here, Nobita- Doraemon leaves in a hurry.

Nobita sighs as does Suneo in a suit, an Dekisugi with a suit approaches with a juice in his hand -Problems, guys?-

-I would have liked Sanyo to be here to dance with her, but due to her punishment she can't come to public events- Suneo says frustrated.

-I'm still waiting for Shizuka to show up but she's still getting ready- Nobita says somewhat disheartened, scratching the back of his neck.

-I see- Dekisugi says to which Elianna in a blue dress approaches -I'm very happy to see you Elianna, you look very beautiful-

-Thank you Dekisugi- Says the girl blushing and looks at Nobita -By the way, the princess wants to see you right now, Summoned One Nobita- the lady points to a balcony in the background -She is waiting for you there, she wants to talk to you about something-

-Oh, okay- Nobita goes to the balcony while Dekisugi and Elianna go dancing and Suneo drinks a glass of juice, frustrated. The silly boy comes out to the balcony looking at how Lillie was leaning out in a white and gold dress with black details, wearing her crown and her hair tied up like a pompom, the boy approaches her while the moon was at the highest point of the sky.

-Hello Lillie, you look very good like this- Nobita says, scratching the back of his neck.

-Thank you Nobita, and the suit also suits you well- Lillie says with a smile and then exhales deeply -I call you for a moment because I have something to tell you, it's something that if I don't get it out of my system, I won't be calm. I don't want to be nervous or doubt my actions.

-What do you want to tell me?- Says the young man with glasses, curious to know what it was.

The blonde exhales again and her blushing eyes shine. -Nobita, I like you.- The boy is startled when he hears that. -Since that dream where we met, I felt a warmth when I saw you smile, you helped me come out of my shell of nerves and insecurities, it made me happy every time when we spent time together, whether it was the tea dream, when the mountain thing happened, or when we were in Ninfu and you went to rescue me from the Demon King. I knew that being honest with you about my feelings, I like that warmth you give and how you did everything possible to protect the feelings of others and that made me fall in love with you-

-Lillie...- Nobita says but the princess interrupts him.

-But I'm not that person your heart desires, I can feel it. And I think that person is starting to feel that too.- Nobita gets a little sad because despite all that confession and how confused he was during the adventure, his heart was still clinging to his first love. The princess laughs softly -I knew it and it doesn't bother me at all. Like I told you, I wanted to get this out of my system and I feel better now.- Lillie hugs the swordsman and he closes his eyes.

-Thank you for being honest with me Lillie- Nobita says smiling, they both separate, look at each other for a while and laugh. Another lady peeks out a little indicating something to the princess, she smiles and begins to push Nobita back to the party. -And now?-

-You'll see- Lillie smiles taking him to the ballroom. Nobita is stunned to see Shizuka in the center of the court, wearing a beautiful bright pink dress, with the flowers in her hair blooming and vibrant as decorations for being a nymph in that world, for this occasion her hair was down and well combed and a natural blush on her cheeks, that and more how pretty she was normally highlighted everything about her, the girl focuses her attention on the silly boy who kept blushing when he saw her that way.

Without thinking, Nobita slowly approaches the girl while she smiles sweetly at him, both of them were face to face while Dekisugi and Elianna approach Lillie. -Would you like to dance, Nobita?- Shizuka asks.

-Of course!- Nobita says excitedly -But, I'm very clumsy at dancing- he says embarrassed but the girl takes him by the hand making him turn red.

-Don't worry, I can guide you, let's go little by little- Nobita nods to what Shizuka said, at a slow but sure pace they both began to dance, drawing the attention of some who were nearby.

-Are you okay? It must have been hard- Dekisugi says to the princess, she can't help but shed a couple of tears but she wipes them with a handkerchief, smiling.

-I am, especially because seeing him happy fills my soul, even if it was otherwise-

The Liberation Day party ended up being a success. The rest of the night flew by and it was a new day for both worlds.

It was noon on Earth, right at the top of the mountain behind the school. The Earth guys were in their normal clothes, while Dekisugi, Kioji and Sakura were in front of them, they were also accompanied by Lillie, Sanyo and Sharai. Gian and Suneo couldn't help but get sad hugging Sakura and Sanyo. -I'm sorry I couldn't take you to Paris as we had agreed, I would have loved to do it- Suneo says tearing up.

Sanyo smiles -I know, but I know that one day we will see each other again, maybe in a few years, who knows, and when that happens, let's travel. Okay?- Suneo nods his head, a couple of sniffles coming out.

-Don't let anyone tell you that you shouldn't sing, you're spectacular- Gian says, taking Sakura from her hands.

-I say the same thing, I'm seriously going to miss you a lot Takeshi- Sakura says while she couldn't help crying, which infects Gian as well and he cries. -Takeshiiiii!-

-Sakuraaaa!- The robust boy shouts with a lot of snot.

-It would have been curious if you met the Dekisugi from our world, they would both get along very well- Says Shizuka

-I imagine- Dekisugi says -Seriously, thank you very much for helping us, we owe you a lot and we will strive to make Illumia become a place for unification with Earth, we will meet again one day- Look at Nobita -Thank you for being our partner and friend, Nobi.-

Nobita looks with a sad smile at the one who was once the leader of his group -I hope you make it, I know you will, we will wait for you, thank you for having taken care of me, protected me and taught me during these months-

-Yes, thank you for protecting Nobita while we were on our own search, it means a lot- Doraemon says with Dorami nodding her head.

Sakura runs to hug her friend and looks at the bandages, Nobita was still wearing them and since he didn't have his gloves, they were very noticeable. -Take care of yourself Nobita, we will miss you a lot, remember to change your bandages until your hands are better, the same thing I say about the scar on your shoulder- the bunny girl says crying.

-I will, Sakura, thank you for being my support- Nobita says, tearing up.

-I always will be, I'm an archer, it's our job!- Sakura says

-"We protect ourselves as a group or we flee in terror as a group, without leaving anyone behind." That's the philosophy of semi-human rabbits, right?- Nobita says with a smile and Sakura nods happily.

Lillie approaches with Sharai -Thank you Summoned One and company, for everything- Sharai says

The blonde looks at the silly boy and she smiles with tears in her eyes -I owe you everything Nobita, thank you, let's continue to be our best versions of ourselves-

Nobita nods sadly -See you soon Lillie, stay free-

Lillie approaches Shizuka and takes her hands -See you soon-

-See you soon, Princess Lillie- Shizuka says with tears in her eyes, but the blonde approaches her ear and whispers something.

-Make him happy-

Lillie bows in farewell leaving Shizuka stunned but smiling sweetly as she approaches Nobita exhaling deeply -She has grown so much, I hope she does very well-

-She will do it- Nobita says. The boy with the glasses turns to look at Kioji, they both stare into each other's eyes, but the silly boy can't help but get very sad -Sensei, thank you for everything- Nobita lowers his head while sobbing -Thank you for buying me that day to save me, Thank you for having gotten me the bell that guided me to Doraemon, thank you for having trained me so that I could improve where I was weak and being my support, thank you for having protected me from Devan... - The boy with glasses looks up crying -Thank you for being my friend and my master!-

Kioji tries not to get emotional because according to him he had already prepared for that moment, but he can't help but shed a couple of tears. -Thank you for everything Nobita, for helping me recover what I once lost, it was because I met you that I was able to feel again that I could make a friend without the fear of being alone. I thought that by moving away from emotions I would be able to achieve what I have achieved, but. This result was because you were there to be a close friend to me, even like a little brother.-

The elf takes out the scarf that he used to wear and puts it around Nobita's neck, the boy is surprised by that gesture. -Kioji, this is your master's scarf-

The ninja boy hugs him suddenly and quickly separates -I want you to have it, I have achieved what I needed by using it. My master gave it to me as an amulet and now as the master I was for you I give it to you. Strive to reach your goals in this world.-

Nobita's eyes light up and he nods with determination -I'm going to take care of it, take good care of yourself Kioji, I'll wait for you-

-I'll do my best to make that day come sooner than you think- The Illumians approach the portal, everyone says goodbye for the last time and crosses the portal. Nobita and his friends come to see and see how the portal freezes with a blue glow. Suneo touches the portal that felt like a glass wall, the portal was frozen with a locking spell to not open it.

-Well, everything is over- Doraemon says and looks at Nobita -Will you be okay?-

Nobita exhales sadly but then smiles as he touches the scarf around his neck with one hand and with the other he takes Shizuka's hand -I will be-
