Nobita was expectant, he was finally going to know why he was in that world and why the human princess had considered him to help the new hero. The entire group remains silent while Lillie begins to speak. -As the hero Dekisugi said, there are 4 signs in this world that warn of the new 100 Years War, named after the span of the first war with the one announced long ago by the Goddess Ruya and the oracles of this world.-
-The first sign is the awakening of the Demon King, for the moment they continue gathering their forces until he fully recovers, freeing himself from his stone form as indicated in the texts of the events of the previous war-
-The second sign is the awakening of the new hero, which has already happened with the hero Dekisugi whose training leaves him closer and closer to being the opponent against the Demon King-
-The third sign is the appearance of the elemental weapons, of which we already have 6 of 7, with one more we can reassemble the Mystic Sword, the only weapon that can rival the power of the Demon King-
-And what is the fourth sign?- Says Sakura -As we know, it's the sign that will make the difference in the new war, whichever side is on will determine the results, that coincides with both the Prophecy of Light and the Prophecy of Darkness-
-As we're in the end times, I can already mention this: The fourth sign is The Summoned One-
The silly boy is surprised by that. Was she referring to him?
-The Summoned One is an individual who is summoned from another world whose decisions will affect the outcome between Illumia and the Demon King, his influence will determine whether the light prevails over the darkness or if the darkness consumes the light. An "amulet" for both sides, as mentioned in the prophecy of Light and the prophecy of Darkness.
-The prophecies of Illumia have finally shown their true form-
"There will be 4 signs in Illumia that herald the new 100 Years War, so the 4 kingdoms must be prepared; The first sign is the awakening of the Demon King, the second sign is the awakening of the New Hero, the third sign is the awakening of the Elemental Weapons, and the fourth, a sign from another world but the most crucial. When the Summoned One appears in Illumia, he will be the final sign that The 100 Years War will begin sooner than it seems, a sign that, depending on which side he is on or what he does, the war will end in favor of the New Hero and the light will triumph over the darkness in a world full of prosperity."
"There will be 4 signs in Illumia that herald the new 100 Years War, so the Akuman Kingdom must be prepared; The first sign is the awakening of the Demon King, the second sign is the awakening of the New Hero, the third sign is the awakening of the Elemental Weapons, and the fourth, a sign from another world but the most crucial When the Summoned One appears in Illumia, he will be the final sign that The 100 Years War will begin sooner than it seems, a sign that, Depending on which side he is on or what he does, the war will end in favor of the Demon King and darkness will rise over light in a world full of misfortunes.
Nobita is confused by all this but sees how everyone looks at him since Dora Team already knew and his partners understood what the princess meant. -Uh? Oh?- The silly boy points to himself in surprise -M-me? Am I the fourth sign?!-
-So it seems to be, Nobi. You are the Summoned One who will determine the direction of the balance between Illumia and Akuman. Now I understand why the Demon King is so interested in having you, the balance tips depending on the Summoned One's affinity with the specific side-
-But didn't we also become summoned when the princess brought us here?- Gian says confused.
Lillie shakes her head -Being the Summoned One is something determined by the timelines, someone could be summoned from their world and be a summoned being but it isn't the fourth sign. The oracle we contacted showed us the 4 kingdoms who was needed - Lillie takes out the silly boy drawing that she had had for months -I still have the result of the oracles right here, there is no other, Nobita is the Summoned One -
-So Nobita is something like a Chosen One for Illumia- Says Suneo -I would say "I'm envious" for not having been me, but the truth is I wouldn't like to be in the middle of two sides fighting to determine a winner-
-The original idea was to ask you for help, Nobita, since you are a human, I was assigned that task as I was the Princess of humans. If you accepted, I was going to bring you to Ningen so that you could travel to the hero Dekisugi and be part of his team. Thus, the balance would go in favor of Illumia. Although it came out in a different way, it ended up happening just as planned and thank goodness, it would have been terrible and very sad if you ended up with the bad guys.- Lillie says.
-But I can't be something like a "chosen one." I mean, thanks to Illumia I have been able to be a decent adventurer, so to speak, and I have tried to improve on my own, but... I'm not at Dekisugi's level to face a Demon King!- Says the swordsman somewhat nervous.
-You don't need to face the Demon King, Nobi- Dekisugi says trying to calm him down -The only thing you should be is to continue being yourself-
-But being myself is what almost led to Devan trying to catch me sometimes! Although I have tried hard to be strong, I'm still weak compared to all of you, Rioku was about to take me if it hadn't been for Gian!- the boy with glasses just clenches his hands in frustration and tears -I have tried not to be a burden for no one, not to make mistakes, but I always screw up, in the slime forest, in the adventures with you, in Shiroitoppu, even in Ashuzon. I don't want to feel useless again, but now knowing that Illumia can win or lose because of what I do is too much! If I go back to being the old me it will be even worse, everything will be my fault and those I love will suffer!-
The boy only gets more upset because of this, he begins to hyperventilate, letting out something of his old scared self, he has just understood that from the beginning he had a burden similar to that of Dekisugi from that world, even greater, since if Illumia loses, he will also lose his world... And it would all be his fault.
In his mind, he felt and even saw how the enchanted hands that trapped him in that nightmare returned and began to grab him from all sides, although that was more of a hallucination caused by the fear and pressure that fell on him suddenly, seeing everything blurry in a completely black and empty stage, bringing his hand to his chest while crying. When he couldn't take it anymore, Doraemon puts his hand on Nobita's shoulder in a sympathetic way and when he felt that, the hallucination of his hands quickly dissipates, returning his vision to the tavern. The boy looks at his robot friend who smiles at him.
-Nobita, when Dekisugi said to be yourself, he meant that you should not stop being a good person. Sure, you've been controlling your emotions by stopping crying and being scared less and acting out more. But there is something that hasn't changed in you and for me it's the key to all this: Your concern and affection for the feelings of others.
-Even when months passed, you worried when Rioku hurt me even when you were in danger- Shizuka says smiling with a blush -You have been both the kind boy and the outsider swordsman at the same time, and that's what I like most about you. You don't like to see others suffer.-
-And of course, you also made arrangements with us to start from zero, and we honestly didn't deserve it- Suneo says and Gian nods crossing his arms.
-When you found out about my responsibility and my problem with Takehiko you talked to me being understanding about it, something that I really appreciated when you did it, and I still appreciate it- Dekisugi speaks smiling
-I may not have an interesting past like you guys, but you've been a good friend to me, even to the point that you tried to comfort me, even when you almost passed away and I was crying while you were weak- Sakura says.
-You are the first friend that I decided to make after everything I experienced and that I didn't want to open up to anyone else again, I was even able to make peace with my conscience about my master, giving me a real reason to fight other than revenge- Kioji says
Lillie looks Nobita in the eyes -Since we met, I have felt that I can do something more than just stay and believe that I won't be able to do anything because of the time I haven't left the castle, I felt more confident in myself. You even risked your life to protect me in the mountains-
Nobita little by little stops hyperventilating when listening to his friends, his pale face changed to one of excitement because of everything they were telling him, he was used to hearing that he was a useless person, but he felt that they needed him, that warm feeling of affection of his friends made only tears flow but this time of joy. -So much so? Do you value me that much? Don't you think I'm going to ruin it like everything I've done in my world? I thought I was just a clumsy burden who made mistakes and...- Doraemon hugs his friend while he said that.
-Of course we value you, that's why we wanted you to become a better version of yourself, of course, it wasn't the best thing to just emphasize the bad, it was also a mistake on my part, before I even motivated you to see something good about yourself, but I have only highlighted the errors because I believed that was also correct, but a balance was better. You can become a better Nobita, you have already proven it in this world, I'll not hesitate again when you get a good grade- Says Doraemon.
-Or when you do a HomeRun by yourself- says Gian
-Or leave you aside just because yes- Mentions Suneo
-We love you, no matter what happens, don't doubt that, we would miss you very much if something happened to you. Don't let The Demon King or anyone else make you think otherwise again, because even through thick and thin, you are our dear friend who we don't want to lose- Says Shizuka
That was what he wanted to hear from them: Affection among so many emphasized errors. Nobita starts to cry hard because he was already at the limit with his emotions, he felt needed, he felt useful. Now Nobita had to continue trying with all that love, he was on his way improving himself and he couldn't stop, now he knew that in his hands were the lives of those he loved, his parents, his best friend, the person he loved, his neighborhood friends and his new friends from Illumia.
-Thank you... Thank you everyone!- Nobita says while smiling, wiping away his tears and looking at Lillie with determination -I'm going to do it Lillie, if I have to be some kind of chosen one, I'll do it, I'll help Dekisugi, Kioji, to Sakura and Illumia, because I'll not let the Demon King hurt the ones I love!-
-I will also help, after all, it's thanks to you that we were able to meet Nobita again, and our world is also in danger of being conquered by the Demon King- Says Doraemon
-And I also! The people of Illumia have been kind to us and we cannot leave them helpless with beings who continue to hurt others at will!- Shizuka adds smiling with determination.
-I'm on board, let's protect this place and our home and give the bad guys a good beating!- Giant shouts snapping his fingers
-I'll help too!- The 4 are surprised, since Suneo usually makes excuses before agreeing -It's just that something inside me says I should do it, I don't want my world to be invaded by a powerful demon. Also...- An image of Sanyo smiling appears in the dwarf's head -I have to find someone-
Lillie smiles at those answers but... -And I'll also do it for you Lillie, for everything you have done for us, you have been very kind, thank you-
Again, Nobita's warm smile makes Lillie's cheeks turn pink, the blonde again couldn't help but nervously play with her golden locks -I-i-it's nothing Nobita, seriously. I will encourage you a lot, for everything you have done for us- Both kids smile at each other, which again catches Shizuka's attention.
-Now that we have finished explaining everything, let's move on to the next point. We still have one more weapon to find, which is the Elemental Weapon of Darkness, once we obtain it we have to recover the other two that Takehiko took from you, thus, we will assemble the Mystic Sword and we will be prepared to face the Demon King-
-And where is the last weapon?- Gian asks, to which Llumia Team remains silent uncomfortably. -And those faces?-
-The thing is, the last weapon is in Erufu- Nobita says to which Dora Team looks nervously at Kioji.
-For that same reason, Princess Lillie and Nobi will not go-
-UUUUUHHHH?! Why?!- Nobita demands indignantly and standing up suddenly from the table.
-Princess Lillie is being persecuted for a reason we still don't know, that's why she must stay here in Ninfu with Princess Loretta and Cecilia. Furthermore, we are talking about the town of elves that have been controlled by Devan, they will try to capture you in order to satisfy who they idolize, and the elves are very good elemental warriors, so it's risky for you to go to Erufu- Replies the wizard boy
The blue cat nods -Dekisugi is right, being the Summoned One it's dangerous for you to go to a territory dominated by a general of the Demon King, especially if it's Devan and...-
-NO!- Nobita shouted when Doraemon spoke -We're a team, I can't sit idly by, especially when I finally know why I'm here! I said I was going to help Dekisugi's team, I don't want to be left out just because I'm the Summoned One! That's probably how Lillie felt in her castle and that's so sad! I want to help Kioji save his family as well as get the weapon!-
Both Kioji and Lillie felt good hearing it. -Nobita- Princess Lillie says with shining eyes.
-Zzzzzzzzzzz...- Loretta only mentions that, she was still sleeping on the table.
-But what a foolish you are, man, if Devan catches you, the Demon King will win!- Says Gian
-Let him come- Both Kioji and Shizuka say the same phrase to which everyone gets startled.
-Nobita has worked hard to get to us, we can't leave him locked up by a chosen destiny, we're all going to go- Shizuka smiles at her friend
Kioji nods -He is my student, he has to come, we have already prepared for this moment, I know that he could be in danger being in a land dominated by Devan, but I trust that he will be able to defend himself well. Besides, there is something that we must not forget. He won't sit still when it comes to circumstances like this-
Doraemon is startled and smiles looking at Dekisugi -It's true, it's something he won't be able to avoid, there's a reason he is who he is-
Dekisugi sighs but accepts smiling -What are we going to do, you're right, Nobi is like that- the wizard boy looks at Nobita -But if things get problematic, Doraemon will get you out of there, work hard in the battle-
Nobita nods smiling determined -This time Devan isn't going to intimidate me anymore, not if I already have my friends from my world with me too- The boy looks with a smile at Doraemon, Shizuka, Gian and Suneo who return the gesture with smiles on their faces. -Thank you Shizuka, thank you Kioji-
-It's nothing, I trust you Nobita- The girl with the pigtails says smiling and Kioji just nods.
-I'll stay here in Ninfu with Loretta and her lady, you may need backup in case things get out of control- Lillie says
-Are you sure?- Asks the silly boy to which Lillie nods smiling.
-This time, we will be DoraLlumia Team!- The boy exclaims that and everyone is surprised as they stood up from the table except for Loretta who was now half asleep -Uh? Don't you like the name?-
-In fact, with Llumia, the name Dora no longer sounds so bad- says Suneo who shrugs his shoulders smiling.
-How about we form an alliance? Some Illumia teams do it for high-risk missions, joining two into one.- Dekisugi suggests that and everyone accepts. -Then we will be DoraLlumia Team from now on."
Everyone shouts a "YEAH!" raising her fist, except Kioji who only nods with his head and Loretta half awake who only raises her arm a little saying a small "yeaaaah..." and then goes back to sleep on the table.
