Shizuka had gone to sleep in the girls' room, Suneo and Gian had fallen asleep, while Doraemon and Nobita were lying in their beds looking at the ceiling -It's been a long time since we slept in the same room, Doraemon.- Nobita says while Doraemon nods. -I missed this feeling-
-Me too. 4 months were a long time.- Says Doraemon.
Nobita smiles, gets up from his bed and goes to lie down on Doraemon's bed, who is surprised by this. -I hope there is room for one more tonight- says the silly boy.
Doraemon smiles when he sees his friend next to him -Yes, there is- Although then he becomes depressed for a moment when he remembers the conversation they both had before the notebooks while the swordsman sits for a moment, takes out his glasses and puts them on the nightstand next to Doraemon's bed showing his charcoal eyes -Nobita-
-¿Yes?- Says the clumsy boy as he lies down again.
The sadness didn't stop passing through the blue cat -You really like Illumia, don't you?-
-The truth is, yes, I already told you that it's like my second home- The silly boy curls up on his side of the bed. -Why you ask?-
-Uh...- Doraemon was going to ask him something but he just shakes his head -Nothing, don't worry- The blue cat decides to change the subject and remembers something -When we met again, there was a golden glow inside your vest. What was it?-
-Oh, it was this!- From the pocket of his pajama pants, Nobita takes out the bell that he had -I saw it in a Terracota store and I remembered you, you know? At that time I didn't have much money in this world, but Kioji bought it for me because he saw me cry when I saw it, since then I never let it go, except to bathe. Although it's smaller than yours. Having it close to me is like I had you, even though we were far from each other- Nobita looks lovingly at the bell
-In fact- Doraemon feels his bell -My bell became smaller when we arrived at Illumia, it's possible that it was one of the effects of the corrupted portal but now I understand why it shrank. It split into two and the copy came to you, they react by shining as they need each other-
Nobita's eyes light up and he smiles sweetly -I see. I guess I have to give it back to you. No?-
Doraemon shakes his head -Keep that one, so we will have one each, at least then we will have each other in case we have to separate on the adventure-
-I wouldn't want to be separated from you again, it was 4 months that I felt like I was missing you, buddy- Nobita says somewhat sad and tearful, and Doraemon wipes his tears.
-Even if it happens, with the bells we will always be together, it doesn't matter that, after all, you are my best friend, Nobita- says the blue cat smiling
Nobita also smiles -And you are mine, Doraemon-
They both laugh together and fall asleep in the same bed, while that was happening, Devan was watching them with a sphere that was observing everything from outside the room, the demon elf boy was in his room in Akuman sitting on his bed watching that beautiful moment between best friends, which made the boy nervously upset while releasing a little electricity from his body. -It's a cute scene you have with that cat, Nobita. I hope you have talked to him enough.- The elf giggles. -Because tomorrow will be the day that you two will separate again and you will finally come with me to serve the Demon King together. I will make sure of it, my dear friend-
The elf just laughs out loud, he had already gone from calm pretty boy to crazy obsessive, all because of a rejection. In another scene, Sanyo can be seen lying down looking at the front wall, she was still in a cell, just sighing. -I've tried everything, but I haven't been able to get out of here and Devan is out of control, I don't recognize him anymore- The girl lets out a couple of frustrated tears, something she hasn't done in a long time, exactly since she was left alone -I'm sorry, Suneo...-
A new day began in Illumia, it was a morning in Ninfu, the entire DoraLlumia team was outside the tavern, ready and prepared to go to Erufu, the final destination before the new 100 years war begins, there was also Lillie to say goodbye to them. -Is everyone ready? The place where we are going will be a dangerous area as it will be dominated by one of the Demon King's Generals, remember to stay together and fight side by side. Not only do we have to get the last elemental weapon, we also have to free Erufu from Devan's clutches- Dekisugi says to both unified teams, then looks at Nobita -Nobi, remember that if the situation gets bad...-
-I'm running back to Ninfu because I'm the Summoned One and they shouldn't catch me, I know, I know- Nobita answers a little annoyed pouting.
-Well, let's go already, I want to teach Devan a lesson! -Gian says while he rattles his fingers with excitement.
-Good luck to all of you, we will look forward to seeing you- Lillie says smiling.
-Thank you for the good wishes your highness- Dekisugi bows -Now, on the way to Erufu-
The team of 8 began to walk with Nobita staying a little behind, but at that moment he felt a tug from behind and when he turned to see what was happening, it was Lillie who had grabbed him on the back of his vest -Nobita, be very careful please-
The silly boy smiles looking at Lillie -Don't worry Lillie, I'm going to take care of myself. After all, I'm the Summoned One, right?-
By chance, Shizuka, a little further away, decided to turn to look although she couldn't hear the conversation well because she was further away and because Lillie's voice was low and delicate. -I'm not saying it because you're the Summoned One- Lillie's response startles the boy. -I'm saying it because you're my friend and I care a lot about you. I know you will be able to face this, after all you saved me that day. But don't forget that your life is just as valuable as that of your friends, not because of a prophecy but because you are a good friend, I wouldn't want you to end up the same as what happened that left you that scar- The blonde only lets out a light blush. -I'll be waiting for you. Okay?-
Nobita can't help but let out a small blush because of the concern that Lilie had for him and responds with that warm smile that she liked to see -Thank you for worrying about me, Lillie, I'll be back safely-
The princess just smiles and nods, taking out a gold 6-point star necklace and giving it to him -It's an amulet of protection, it will help you in the most complicated moment, take care of yourself, Nobita-
The silly boy looks at the necklace and his eyes shine, accepting the gift while he puts it in his vest where the bell was -Thank you, it will help me a lot, see you Lillie- Nobita runs to catch up with the others, while Shizuka pouts somewhat uneasily but she realizes and prefers to avoid it, she herself didn't know why she had done that, it was a sensation that she didn't usually feel but that sometimes appeared when she saw her friend and the princess getting along.
We're not going to lie, that was jealousy.
-Sorry, I was talking something with Lillie- Nobita says laughing nervous.
-But man! What's taking you so long?- Gian claims raising his arm.
Nobita notices how Shizuka was looking at him -What's wrong Shizuka? Did something happen?
Shizuka just shakes her head and smiles. -No, no, I was just worried that you were left behind, that's all.-
-Ah okay- says the silly boy as they begin to walk again next to her and Doraemon.
The journey was approximately three hours on foot, they stopped for a while to rest and then continued passing through some meadows and fields of sunflowers. But halfway along the road they saw a carriage that belonged to a nobleman with its wheels in pieces. -Wow. Look at that!- Gian says surprised.
Kioji decides to go in to check, he looked inside and sees a package covered with some rags, he checks it and sighs somewhat annoyed when he finds something in the package's hand, he leaves the cart and returns to the others -From your expression I assume that you don't have "Good news"- Sakura says dismayed.
Kioji sees Suneo -Use one of your incendiary arrows to burn all this down. Now-
-UH? Why are you asking me that so suddenly?- The dwarf says curiously.
-This is a carriage belonging to a nobleman from Inuma, from the signs I saw it was attacked and there was a nobleman there, now it is just an inert body that if I'm not mistaken has been around for weeks- That surprises everyone a lot except Dekisugi and Sakura
-Wow, your scene verification level is very good- Doraemon says surprised
-Being a assassin, Kioji verifies the details a lot, which helps him a lot to know what is happening around him.- Dekisugi says -But that's not why you have that expression, I can sense it.- The magician boy looks serious to his ninja partner who shows him a necklace with the Yosei logo, which was fairy wings and a four-pointed star in the middle. Dekisugi is perplexed by this -This... This is bad, the good thing is that we discovered it before someone else from Inuma passes by here-
-What is that necklace?- Shizuka asks
-It's a Yosei badge, if they left it here it means they were hoping someone would find it, someone like another inhabitant of Inuma.- Says the wizard boy
-Why?- Nobita asks
Doraemon also puts on a serious face -It's obvious, they want to cause a conflict between Yosei and Inuma using the death of a noble from the human kingdom. I'm sure the Demon King would like there to be a fight between kingdoms, that way Illumia's military power would be weakened before the war and that would give him an advantage.-
Suneo crosses his arms -And being close to Erufu, I don't doubt at all that they were-
-B-but Suneo- Shizuka claims, stunned.
-Suneo is right, Shizuka- Says the ninja boy who squeezes the badge furiously -This is undoubtedly Devan's work, he is using Erufu to create a conflict between kingdoms. This is making me desperate. It seems that there was also a person inside according to the scene, but he isn't there, this must have fled because there is no struggle from having been forced to walk with the attackers.- And look at the dwarf -Surely you must be feeling the same rage as me-
-Really? -Gian says while he sees Suneo who was indeed outraged.
-The elves, or at least the majority of those who live in Illumia, are honorable creatures, these types of acts are usually repudiated by them, that is why Kioji is like this and since your friend changed from human to elf, he can also feel that frustration- says Dekisugi
Suneo just looks at the float, prepares his bow and incendiary arrow, shoots the arrow that immediately engulfs the float in flames, both he and Kioji start walking again -Let's finish this, I'm not in a good mood- The others follow them
-Erufu has been transformed into a hostile land, now more than ever I want to meet Devan- Kioji was in a bad mood as he squeezed his hands, but Nobita approached him and put his hand on his shoulder.
-We aren't going to continue letting Devan hurt Erufu like that, we will save everyone-
Nobita's smile makes Kioji calm down a little -You're right- the brunette answers.
The walk finally comes to an end, the 8 spot Erufu from a hill, a town that at first glance looked calm and rustic, with some elves smiling and doing their daily activities. Dekisugi summons a spy sphere with a spell and sends it there, they had to see the terrain they were going to enter, with another sphere he sees what the first one sees. -There are many elven guards around, including swordsmen, archers and the occasional wizard.- The wizard boy sees some posters with Devan's drawing and some statues around the city.
-What a conceit- says Suneo while Nobita, Doraemon, Shizuka and Gian stare at him.
-The cathedral of Erufu is at the top of that hill at the end of the town- You can see a small white cathedral -As I understand from the spies months ago, there may be indications that the last sanctuary is near that place, we must find the seal of darkness and activate it-
-While you do that, I'll hit Devan- Kioji says
-There are two of us, sensei!- Gian says but Kioji looks at him badly making the robust boy jump.
-Only Nobita is allowed to call me sensei- says the ninja boy with an irritated look.
-Hey, what fly bit you?- Gian says irritated, he turns to see Suneo who was also irritated -You too Suneo?
-I'm sorry, Erufu's situation has both of them like this, it's normal being elves- Says Dekisugi -If I remember Erufu's biography correctly, the current head of the village is called Neuh- You can see an elf about 40 years old. long platinum hair with a green and gold cleric's outfit that reached the floor, with large pointed ears -He is an A-rank cleric who is also in charge of the cathedral and the elven warriors. Doraemon. Suggestions?- Says the wizard boy as he sees the robot cat making the spheres disappear.
-With the invisibility cloak in my pocket we could approach the cathedral and look for the seal of darkness, but I only have one that I took out a few levels ago-
While Doraemon speaks, a pair of eyes appear in Nobita's shadow. -I also know invisibility spells, but it consumes mana while activated and only covers two, me and one other person- Dekisugi says.
-Then let's use invisibility to go there, you could use your spell together with Nobita so that the three of us can go, meanwhile Kioji and the rest must distract the elves and Devan to give us more opportunity and...- At that moment a great lightning bolt electric shock hits everyone without them knowing, they had received damage but were fine.
-They are attacking us!- Sakura shouts
-It's probably Devan! Come out and show your face!- Gian shouts shaking his fist in the air.
-No, it's not- Dekisugi was looking at someone, and when they all turned around they realized that it was Nobita who launched lightning at everyone with his sword while they were in a battle position.
-BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOBITA?!- Exclaims Gian furious
-It's not me, I can't control my body! -Nobita tries to fight against himself but he couldn't get out of the battle position -My hands moved on their own!-
-That means... He's here too!- Dekisugi exclaims as he prepares his staff.
From Nobita's shadow a mysterious figure emerges, this was Orwan, the general of the Demon King's Darkness, he puts his hand in front as if he had a tozer controller in his hands. -It's Orwan, the general of darkness, one of the Demon King's veteran generals!- Kioji says angrily -He is using his ability to control the bodies of his targets through their shadows as if they were puppets- Kioji takes out his kunais and the others prepare too.
-Let go of Nobita now, he's not a puppet!- Doraemon shouts as he launches a wind blow at Orwan but he uses Nobita to block his sword attack.
-Let me go now, I don't want to hurt anyone!- The silly boy shouts while he tries to move his arms without success. -It's like my arms are numb!-
-It's better if you watch your own backs- The voice that had said that was Devan, who appears behind Orwan and immediately some elven warriors arrive.
-Stop there, enemies of the great Devan! - Shouts one of the warriors
The elf/demon boy stands next to Nobita -It's a shame, they came here helping a traitor like Kioji-
-You only make him look like a traitor to the other elves because he didn't want to worship you, plus you are using Erufu to create a conflict to weaken Illumia!- Suneo screams
-So they already found our little prank. Well, it doesn't feel bad to cause harm to Illumia, that benefits the Demon King a lot.- Devan looks at Nobita and puts his hand on his shoulder.
-I already told you to stay away from me, leave me alone!- Nobita shouted, who couldn't move no matter how much he wanted to.
-Why should I? Don't forget that we are friends. Why would I leave you with these guys who don't value you as much as I value you? It wouldn't be fair for both of us, nor for the Demon King, we are getting closer to conquering everything and we want you to be with us in our victory.- Devan whispers in Nobita's ear -WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT-
-I'm not going to let you take my best friend away from me, not again!- Doraemon tries to reach out to grab Nobita who with a little effort tries to reach him by stretching out his hand, but the elf/demon throws lightning at the robot throwing him against the ground.
-DORAEMON!- Nobita shouts, distressed at not being able to do anything.
-You don't have to worry about him anymore, my friend. You have escaped me for a long time, but now I finally have you where I wanted you. But don't worry, I won't take you to the Demon King yet, first I will get rid of the problem that has already reached the limit of my patience- He points to Kioji -Come to the outskirts of the cathedral, by the columns that remained from the previous one, it's time to give an end to your story, ninja who lost everything. If you don't come when the sun sets, Nobita and I will go to Akuman together.-
-Don't you dare hurt Nobita, he is my student, I had warned you!- Kioji shouts on the verge of anger.
-I'm so sorry, I'm bad at taking advice- Devan says smiling -By the way, before that, play a little with my fan club. They're a little bored.-
-NOBITA!- Shizuka shouts and approaches where the generals and her friend are when Devan used the transportation fact making her also disappear with them.
-Shizuka also disappeared with them!- exclaims Sakura, who dodges an arrow from the elves, but the next one is blocked by Gian.
-We must retreat to try a new plan, more warrior elves are going to arrive, being class A and higher!- Says Dekisugi
-But Nobita and Shizuka...!- Doraemon claims, standing up after the attack.
The wizard boy interrupts -I trust Nobi to be able to get out of this by protecting Shizuka, he has already escaped even death, he can handle this situation!-
Doraemon worries but nods seriously -Okay, I trust him too, he will do it, there's a reason we were able to meet again-
The guys manage to escape from the warrior elves by fleeing to a nearby forest and although Kioji didn't want to, he had to go with them.
