-I... I decided... that...- Nobita already made a decision, but he couldn't be able to say it because Doraemon saw him, his hands were shaking, but the robot cat hugs him lovingly while he tears up.

-You decided to stay in Illumia, right?-

Nobita nods and tears -I want to protect both the Earth and Illumia, I'm really going to miss the Earth and you guys, but at the same time I want to contribute to something that benefits us all. And if it's better if I'm involved, I must and want to help them. I'm really sorry for being selfish in choosing to stay but it's just... I'm really going to miss you guys, I'm sorry-

The silly boy receives a hug from everyone except Shizuka, who only stares at him. -If that's what you want, I'm not going to get in the way of you wanting to help Illumia- Says Doraemon -I knew that you were destined to do great things if you took the reins of your life for the better, and although it hurts me a lot to have to say goodbye so soon, I'm going to respect what you want, you're my best friend, I'm not going to limit you, just don't forget us, okay?-

-And like I said, I know that your parents are going to understand you, especially because they saw you defending those you loved. You'll do well here, I'm sure- Dorami says.

-And just when I was starting to change, but hey, I think you deserve this more after Gian and I have been bothering you before all this- Suneo says

Gian ruffles his hair, a little frustrated but smiling, acting strong but letting out a couple of tears -You always have to do hard things, huh Nobita? Because it's going to be difficult to say goodbye after having made things happen with you.-

-Thank you for understanding me, guys-

The silly boy focuses his attention but doesn't see Shizuka until he hears the door to the north room close. -Shizuka.- Nobita says while he gets depressed but Doraemon comforts him -I guess she got angry with me, that makes sense because I was selfish with this.-

-She didn't get angry, believe me, but I think she needs to take it in- Doraemon says.

Dorami approaches the door -I'll go see her, don't worry Nobita, go and talk to the king-

Dekisugi, Kioji, Sakura, Lillie, her lady-in-waiting and King Jenner watch as Dorami runs away, after which they see the rest of the Earthlings come out and stand in front of the king. -What happened to Shizuka? I saw her running out of the throne room- Sakura says worriedly.

-It's just that all this upset her a lot, Dorami went to see her, she will be fine, I hope- Doraemon says

-Uh, I see- Lillie says worried about the girl with the pigtails.

King Jenner coughs to calm the atmosphere -I hope she gets better. Have you already reached a consensus?-

Everyone nods although Nobita began to doubt about Shizuka's situation, although Doraemon, Suneo and Gian encourage him, so he just takes a deep breath. -I'm going to accept your offer, your majesty. If I can do anything to help Earth and Illumia, I want to do it. I'm going to miss the Earth a lot, my parents, Doraemon and my friends but... I want to do this, for all of them and for myself.-

Nobita's response makes Lillie happy, although she kept worrying about Shizuka because now she knows why she left like that. Dekisugi, Sakura and Kioji nod and approach Nobita -I see, thank you very much for accepting- King Jenner stands up and draws the sword from him again. Doraemon taps Nobita and he nervously kneels while the king approaches -From today and by the authority of Inuma along with the approval of Ahito, Yosei and Oku, I name you Guardian of Illumia- The monarch bows his sword to make it official. -In addition to that, now you will be another citizen of Ningen under the protection of Inuma, the kingdom of humans, for obvious reasons- The king smiles as Alfonso approaches.

-Am I going to have to live in the city every time I come back here until I finish the mission?- Nobita asks curiously.

-Of course not, you are now the Guardian of Illumia. You're going to live here in the castle of course- Says the king, to which Nobita and the others startle. -I already promised that if you accepted this, I was going to provide you with protection and academic teachings, plus Alfonso will help you train with the sword every time you come to Ningen during your mission. I'm a king of words-

-Am I going to live here? It's going to take me a little bit to get used to it- says the raven man in amazement while he scratches the back of his neck.

-Wow, you even won the lottery with this- Says Suneo

-But, first you should tell this to your parents. Even if you decided it, the approval of those who raised you is important, I say it from experience- Says the King as he looks at Lillie -Although I can't say much because of how I behaved isolating Lilliana.-

-I'm going to do it, your majesty. Thank you- Nobita stands up with a smile.

-Thank you very much Nobi, with your help we can even get results a little faster.- Dekisugi says smiling.

-It will be like old times when we start being a team!- Sakura says excitedly.

-You still have to learn to improve more, I'll take care of that- Kioji says.

-Congratulations Nobita- Lillie says as she approaches the boy with the glasses and smiles at him -And don't worry, just as it happened with Dekisugi, I'll also help you guide you and understand what you need about this site-

-Thanks guys. How about we all go to Earth? I want to talk to my parents about this, besides, I would like... Uh...- The swordsman blushes a little embarrassed.

-We have to throw you a farewell party- Doraemon says smiling -I'll take care of that-

-Yes, a farewell party is a great idea!- Gian exclaims excitedly.

Nobita just blushes, embarrassed because they were going to throw a party for him to say goodbye in style. The entire DoraLlumia team and Princess Lillie were leaving the castle while Doraemon took the Anywhere Door out of his pocket so they could go straight to the portal chamber. -Wait, Shizuka is missing!- Nobita says, still worried about his friend.

-Don't worry, here she is- Dorami brings Shizuka by the hand of her, who was still crestfallen. Nobita was going to say something to her but seeing her so sad he preferred not to say anything. Everyone passes through the anywhere door, and when the silly boy was going to pass...

-Nobita- Shizuka says, the swordsman turns to look at her, she raises her head with tears in her eyes as she approaches him -I'm sorry for leaving like that, but the fact that you decided to stay shocked me a lot.-

The swordsman becomes a little depressed -I'm sorry if I made a selfish decision, I should have thought more about your feelings- the boy feels the hands of the girl with the pigtails taking his which surprises him.

-No, you did think not only about my feelings but those of everyone you love, that's why you decided to stay, because you want the best for us, you feel that here you can also achieve a lot and I believe it too. I said that you are important to me, that's why I also said that even if you choose this path, I would accept it, you think about everyone's feelings and you have shown it, it's my turn to think about yours.- Shizuka says with a smile with a couple of tears

Nobita can't help but cry while she helps him wipe his tears and gives him a tender hug -Just don't forget me, okay? Don't forget us-

-Of course I'm not going to forget you Shizuka, not at all, we're friends, I'm not going to forget anyone!- The boy says tearing up with a blush on his cheeks. Shizuka smiles with a light blush and they both pass through the anywhere door. Everyone goes through the portal to go back to Earth.

The first thing they did when they returned was go to Nobita's house to talk to his parents. Lillie talked to them about the idea they had and about what King Jenner proposed to their son, while Nobita and Doraemon were sitting next to her in the living room that was next to the stairs of the second floor. At first Nobisuke and Tamako were hesitant, because that meant having to let their son go to a world unknown to them, but after thinking about it a lot, remembering how he had matured and improved, even seeing him fight to protect the world, they did what some parents who love their children would be pained to do: Accept that Nobita stayed in Illumia.

The Nobis hugged their son, Tamako was crying while Nobisuke was sad but at the same time proud of him, Nobita couldn't help but cry for that while hugging them, because even though he had accepted his new path, he was a child who was going to quickly become independent from his home and his world. Lillie was watching all of this fondly.

At night, thanks to one of Doraemon's gadgets, they used a large room through a poster door to have the farewell party there because there were only a few people there. The 4 guys who had their adventures in Illumia had their normal clothes, there was a table with a large amount of food and drink, it was a night to say goodbye to the Guardian of Illumia with a smile.

Doraemon sits next to Nobita as they had drinks together on a piece of furniture. -How funny, I thought you had to do something like that for me when I go back to the future, but it turned out to be the other way around- Says Doraemon

-Doraemon. What will you do? What will happen to Sewashi if I go to Illumia? Are you going to return to the future when I leave?- Nobita says a little sad.

Dorami sits next to them -Sewashi is going to be fine, Nobita. I discussed the situation with him before the party and I think we have an idea- the robot cat whispers something to Nobita and he smiles.

-It's a good idea, so I won't have to worry about something happening in the future- Nobita says smiling.

-I plan to return to the future, if you aren't here it's like I no longer have a mission, after all, you have also matured, you no longer feel the exaggerated need to ask me for gadgets. But I won't do it now, I'll stay with your parents for at least a year- Doraemon says smiling.

Nobita tears -Thank you Doraemon, I appreciate you doing that for them-

Lillie looks at Nobita from the other side of the room and Dekisugi the magician approaches him -Are you planning to tell Nobi what you feel?- asks the hero to which Lillie shakes her head.

-I will have a lot of time to do it, but not now. He's going to be separated from his family and friends tomorrow, he'll be depressed for a while, it wouldn't be fair for him to I open up to him now when he's like that, I'll go easy- Lillie says

-Wise decision- Says the wizard boy smiling.

Shizuka looks at Nobita with a sad smile, Sakura stands next to her and notices her look -That look says a lot. Your feelings are blooming. No?- Sakura asks that and Shizuka nods- Are you going to tell him about that?-

-No- Shizuka says -If I do, he won't want to leave, something amazing awaits Nobita in Illumia thanks to that world he was able to improve, I'm going to miss him a lot and it's hurting my heart to see him. It's better sometimes to let go of the person you care about a lot, as Doraemon said, his heart is divided but he already decided, as long as he is happy I'll be happy, I haven't been able to protect him when he suffered being himself in the past- In That looks at Lillie and smiles -But I can do it now that he's going to have a new path to walk-

The small but warm farewell party had ended well, Nobita spent the last night at his house.

The next morning, the clumsy boy and his friends had gone to the top of the mountain behind the school where Alfonso was waiting for them, Nobita's parents had also gone to see him off, the boy was wearing his adventurer's clothes while carrying a backpack of ride on his back. Tamako hugs her son again before letting him go -Be good to Princess Lillie's relatives, they are going to give you a place to stay there, don't forget to brush your teeth and obey whoever is going to teach you, your teacher ordered you some books for you to say goodbye, don't take so many naps and always eat the peppers that are going to be served to you at meals, bathe every day and...-

-I know mom, I'm a little sad that you say all that so loudly- Nobita says a little embarrassed -But thanks for saying it anyway, I'll do my best... I...- Nobita hesitates -I love you so much mom- Tamako cry again about it

-I love you too, Nobita, please take care of yourself-

Nobisuke ruffles his son's hair sadly -Take good care of yourself Nobita, I know you are going to achieve great things there and I know that one day we will see each other again, don't forget about us-

-I won't do it dad, don't worry, thank you for everything you have done for me, and I'm sorry for having been a terrible, lazy and lazy son.- Nobita tears up but his father smiles at him.

-At the end of the day the important thing is that you decided to be better, we are happy to have you as our son, never forget that despite everything-

-Dad...- Nobita says

Alfonso approaches with Lillie who was carrying something in her hand. -Don't worry, we promise that Nobita is in good hands, for my honor as a former knight- Alfonso says, giving the military salute with the only arm he had, the Nobis nod gratefully.

-Please take this- Lillie gives a small tablet like the previous one to Nobisuke -This tablet isn't like the one used the first time, this one is in good condition, it can't summon living things because it's simpler but it can be used to send letters from Illumia to Earth, so Nobita can send you monthly letters to tell how he is doing there.

-Thank you very much, this will help us a lot- Tamako says relieved -Please, don't forget to write to us Nobita-

-I will, don't worry.- The swordsman says smiling.

-TAKESHIIII!- Sakura shouts sadly

-SAKURAAAA!- The robust boy tears while they both hug each other.

-We are going to miss you guys so much!- Sakura cries

-And we are going to miss you too- Says Doraemon with Dorami at his side -Please take care of Nobita during that mission-

-It will be like old times, don't worry- Kioji says, nodding his head.

-I hope we meet again Sanyo, when we meet again I'll take you to Paris- Suneo says to the ninja girl who was also there

-I know Suneo, I look forward to that day coming-

Gian ruffles Nobita's hair -Take care Nobita, I'm really sorry that I had to change just when you're leaving, I know I'm not going to erase what happened between us, but you have my support- Gian gives him some comics -I'll give you this for you to read it. Who knows? Maybe the Illumians will like it as much as we do and make them en masse-

-Thank you Gian- Nobita says smiling.

-Hey, but those are mine!- Suneo says tearing up -W-well, keep them. And take care of yourself Nobita, when the mission is successful and we see each other again, I will have changed- Suneo gives him an autograph -It's my autograph, I know it will be worth millions in the future, take it so you can always remember me - The dwarf says as he walks away straightens your hair proudly

-Uh... Thanks Suneo, you too, take care of yourself- Nobita says with a nervous smile.

Shizuka approaches the swordsman with a bag of homemade cookies. -I made these for you on the way to Ningen, flying on a dragon makes you hungry- She says, smiling.

-Thank you Shizuka, I love your desserts, they're very delicious- Nobita says with a big blush.

They both look into each other's eyes and she hugs him while Nobita does the same. -Be careful there and don't take too much risk like what happened in the mountain, I want to see my friend safe and sound again when everything happens, remember that I care about you a lot- Says Shizuka

-I'll, I will be careful, I'll miss you a lot. I'll be back fine-

Nobita and Shizuka separate, she had the sparkle in her eyes seeing him smile sadly at the farewell -Nobita, I...!- The boy is startled waiting to hear what else she was going to say but Shizuka just shakes her head and smiles -Good luck, I know you're going to make it-

The silly boy also smiles, thanking those sweet words, Dorami approaches him and takes his hands -I think you felt that you have found a place where you can stand out and improve in Illumia, I hope everything turns out well, take good care of yourself Nobita-

-Thank you Dorami, please take good care of Doraemon-

Dorami looks at Doraemon who was in front of them -And speaking of Doraemon...-

Dorami and Shizuka stand aside while the two friends look at each other for a long while, there was a great silence for a moment, but Nobita started to cry, he tried to stop the tears with his hands but he couldn't, It was the most painful goodbye he had to make, he had to leave everything behind if he wanted to take this big step, including his best friend.

The blue cat approaches him crying and hugs him while the boy cried, the swordsman hugs him back sobbing as the tears continue to flow, the boy kneels down. -Thank you! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! Thank you for being here with me and I'm sorry for the things I've put you through for being lazy! Thank you! Thank you...- Nobita says without stopping crying -I'm going to try hard, I swear, I'm not going to waste this opportunity that you gave me!-

-I know you will, you grew a lot in an adventure that you necessarily had to be on, you realized where you should improve, you did it, you no longer need me- Doraemon says.

-Don't say that! I don't want a babysitter, I want my best friend! I'm going to miss you so much, even in another world! I'll miss you too much!- The swordsman says, tearing up.

Doraemon wipes the boy's tears while smiling -We both knew that this day was going to come, although it turned out in a different way, you found your own path and what you are going to do will help many in the future- In the end he can't help but cry -Just take care of yourself, okay? You have my support, Nobita, I love you-

-I love you too Doraemon!- Nobita exclaims crying

-Besides, we will never be separated, you know?- Doraemon feels his bell -Thanks to Illumia we will always have something of the other accompanying us- Nobita smiles while he touches the vest in the part where he had the other bell in his pocket.

Dekisugi approaches them with a sympathetic smile -Your friendship is going to transcend between both worlds, I know it.- Nobita stands up still holding Doraemon's hands -Nobi, it's time-

The swordsman nods and little by little begins to release Doraemon's hands. The blue cat looks sadly as his friend approaches the portal. -Thank you for everything, we promise to give a good future not only to Illumia but also to yours. Until we meet again.-

When Dekisugi says that, all the Illumians begin to pass through the portal, Nobita looks at everyone one last time and smilingly says goodbye -Until we meet again guys-

Nobita passes through the portal and arrives at its chamber, where Sharai was already waiting for them, Dekisugi approaches the portal and with the Mystic Sword uses a spell to freeze it with magic, in this way the portal becomes hard as glass, So space-time wasn't going to be altered, Nobita looked at this and was already beginning to feel nostalgic. Kioji, Sakura and Lillie approach him to accompany him in feeling him.

On the other side, on Earth, Suneo touches the portal feeling that it was made of glass, going back to where Shizuka, Doraemon, Dorami and Gian were -Well, he has gone with them- Suneo says.

-We made that trip to be able to rescue him and in the end we had to let him go. He found his own path, one that will make him better and better and even he knew it himself- Doraemon says while crying again -And at first he was afraid to admit it because of how we were going to react, but we gave him that encouragement he needed to He will do it well... He will do it...-

Finally, the robot cat collapsed on his knees in sadness and crying while he covered his eyes full of tears, he could no longer resist being strong so as not to worry the swordsman anymore. He was already gone, the guys came to comfort him while Doraemon shouted the name of whoever he was, he is still and will continue to be his best friend.
