A month passed since the events on Earth since the invasion, the buildings that were affected by the attack were already at the final point of reconstruction, the portal was protected by Doraemon using the gadgets of the future so that no one could approach it or harm it until the day of unification, also keeping it hidden from prying eyes.

The guys returned to their usual routine, although it no longer felt the same, they felt that they were missing something, or rather someone, the atmosphere at first felt dull, in the classroom there was always an empty space where Nobita used to sit, playing baseball was no longer the same, even Shizuka no longer felt the desire to make desserts. With the absence of Nobita in the neighborhood, even the friends who weren't so close to him felt that lack, as for Gian and Suneo, they no longer did the same abuses with the others, the absence of the silly boy had done something to them.

Doraemon complied with what he said and continued living with the Nobis, although now he slept in the same place where Nobita slept due to nostalgia, at first not even the dorayakis tasted the same as before, he missed entering the room and seeing Nobita sleeping for not doing his homework, he even missed how he came crying to ask him for an gadget, Dorami also used to visit him from time to time. The Nobis were subdued at first, Tamako only did the housework while Nobisuke went to work, at night the three of them all ate together with an empty chair always present, although Tamako sometimes forgot that there were only three of them now and accidentally served a fourth meal.

As time went by, the atmosphere became active again in the neighborhood. One day after school, Shizuka, Suneo and Gian were in the vacant lot talking about an unimportant topic, to which Doraemon comes running. -GUYS, GUYS!- Doraemon shouts as he runs up to the guys.

-Hello Doraemon, what's wrong that you're so agitated?- Shizuka asks.

Doraemon smiles with emotion and from his pocket he takes out a letter, whose seal was the emblem of Inuma, although it was already broken because the Nobis had already opened it before. Shizuka, Gian and Suneo are startled.

-Is that letter from...?- Suneo asks stunned and Doraemon nods.

-What are you waiting for?! Read it! We want to know!- The robust boy exclaims excitedly.

Doraemon opens the letter while the guys come closer to hear him read it aloud, it had some mistakes and the handwriting was passable, typical Nobita's writing.

"Hi everyone! How are you doing back on Earth? Now I'm in Anima, the capital of the kingdom of the demihumans, we're tracking down Rioku, who declared himself the "Demon King" but only in title because It's not like when we faced Professor Ab. That day when I left Earth, I had immediately gone to Ningen to settle there, but not before King Jenner announced to everyone that I was now the Guardian of Illumia, nonestly, I was a little embarrassment to have a title like that at first because I felt like it was too big for me.

"King Jenner gave me a huge room to myself, actually, a little...too big compared to my room in the neighborhood."

-Ningen, a month ago-

Alfonso took Nobita with everything and luggage to the room that the King had assigned him, it had a large bed, a trunk and a large closet, as well as a desk, a large balcony window overlooking all of Ningen adorned with beautiful curtains, the silly boy was stunned by that large room, Lillie also accompanied them.

-Is this going to be my room? It's huge!- says the boy, stunned and a little intimidated by that place.

-The king wants you to feel comfortable, this will be your home now and all the times that you will pass by here on the mission, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask the servants, don't be embarrassed, they will listen to the Guardian of Illumia, especially if you treat them well- Alfonso says with a smile -In a couple of days you will go with the hero and your friends on your mission, you will have time to familiarize yourself with the castle and study a little. If you need me, I'll be with the new recruits at the training yard-

Alfonso leaves while Nobita enters with Lillie, the boy leaves his things on the big bed and sits on the bed, it was very soft and comfortable, ideal for taking a nap.

-I know you might be a little uncomfortable with so much, but since you are now a citizen of Ningen and a guest of our castle, my father wants to be a good host- Lillie says. -What will you do now?-

-I've already eaten the cookies that Shizuka gave me, I'm not hungry right now. I don't feel like taking a nap right now either, so I'm going to explore this place to see what it's like, although I think I'm going to get lost in this immense place- Nobita says nervously but smiling.

-If you want, I can give you a tour, I know this place like the back of my hand, it's my home after all-

Lillie extends her hand to Nobita and he takes her hand, getting out of bed and they both leave the room to tour the castle together.

Thanks to Lillie I was able to adapt a little to the castle, she has also helped me study when the castle teachers gave me classes, they were curious about the books that the teacher gave me, so they asked me for them to understand human culture. When we started with the mission, Dekisugi guided us to be able to hunt down the ex-generals to lock them in prison, they are very elusive, so it will be a long chase, but with the effort we made with the elemental weapons, we will also do it to improve Illumia.

I really miss you all and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember the good times we had together, because those memories are what are driving me to do this. Now I must finish, let's continue exploring the area to find Rioku. Doraemon, I hope you are well as are mom, dad, Shizuka, Gian and Suneo, I'll always be with you and you with me because the bells will always shine through our memories.

Take care of yourselves everyone, I'll write to you next month without fail.

-Nobita."

Doraemon, Shizuka, Suneo and Gian feel a sense of melancholy and tranquility knowing that their friend was fine, especially Doraemon and Shizuka want to let out happy tears about how he is doing. -I knew it was going to go well, I hope that mission goes well so we can meet again.-

As Doraemon says that, the blue sky in the neighborhood can be seen, which is changed to the blue sky of Illumia.

In a werewolf village they were going about their daily activities, when an army of random monsters appears on a nearby hill, led by Rioku with Onguru and Alessandra behind.

-Why do you have to be the one who proclaimed yourself Demon King?!- Alessandra says.

-Because my military tactics work! Duh!- Rioku says looking at the town in the background -Those fools have no idea that they will soon be invaded by RIOKU, THE NEW DEMON KING! MUAHAHAHAHA!-

-But we are no longer half demons- The canine hits the ogre on the head.

-It's to scary them, brute!- Says the canine

While the three former generals argue among themselves, on another closer hill, Dekisugi, Kioji and Sakura look at everything, the rabbit girl lets out a sigh. -Wow, crazy, I think he hasn't realized yet that we're hunting him- Sakura says.

-Well, without their leader, they're a bunch of rubes- says Kioji.

-Trying to invade a werewolf village is going to take its toll on those three- Dekisugi lets out a sigh as someone else approaches, it was Sanyo.

-What a trio of brutes! Having to hunt them down as part of my punishment makes me want to give Rioku some stars for being an airhead- Sanyo says with her arms drawn back. -But it's even more incredible that they let you join us in this.-

Lillie appears with her adventurer's outfit, the same one she wore when she wanted to go incognito but keeping the blonde color of her hair. -My father has given me more freedom now and this way I'll be able to be better and defend myself.-

-Okay Dekisugi, you give the order- Sakura says and the wizard boy shakes his head.

-Not this time- While the boy speaks someone walks towards them and stands in the middle -Now that he is in this, he is the one who is going to guide us on this adventure-

That person was Nobita, who now instead of wearing the leather jacket, wore a long blue leather jacket with long sleeves and white lines on the sides, as well as the boots and gloves that were now darker blue, on the chest of the jacket was the bell hanging from it, his adventurer's outfit had received a great change because he was now the Guardian of Illumia.

-Are you ready Nobi?- Dekisugi says, the swordsman takes the sword out of the sheath on his back with one hand and rings the bell with the other and smiles.

-COME ON!-

The days go by, the months go by, the Nobis continued to receive monthly letters from Nobita and how he was doing on that mission, the years even go by. When the kids on Earth were in their second year of high school, they received a very special surprise. When they were about to enter high school. Shizuka, Suneo and Gian with their uniforms see two girls with the same uniform they had, they were Sakura and Sanyo already grown up. It was obvious that Gian and Suneo ran to hug them happily.

Sakura said that they had finally finished their mission taking less time than expected thanks to the efforts of both Dekisugi magician and Nobita, so they decided to move to Earth thanks to the hero who transformed Sakura into a human and gave them some earrings to block the mana until the consensus between Bessekai and Earth was a fact to begin the exchange of culture between both planets. And since Sanyo made a lot of effort for her, they decided to let her go live in the neighborhood too.

At that time, as expected, Doraemon had already returned to the future and the guys had asked about Nobita. Sakura decided to tell them that he ended up staying in Illumia since he took to heart the fact that he is the Guardian of Illumia. Especially due to the fact that since they were on the same team, Lillie and Nobita became close over the years, especially because she was always comforting and motivating him when he was down or when he was hurt or sad.

Until one day, after having completed his mission and returning to Ningen, a young Nobita with slightly longer hair and not-so-noble clothing was walking through one of the gardens, stopping near the fountain. Lillie who was older, with her noble clothes and her longer golden hair was there too, they both looked at each other and greeted each other.

-Hello Nobita, I was here to visit the garden, the flowers are beautiful this time of year-

-Hello Lillie, I was walking around to clear my head and relax a little, after all, we were finally able to complete the mission- says the young man while they both sit on a bench nearby.

-And what will you do now? Will you return to Earth?- Lillie asks

Nobita looks at the sky -I feel like this isn't over yet, now that we were able to improve Illumia, the people of this world and Earth are going to start socializing as soon as they sign a unification, so it's likely that I'll continue to be busy here, I'm the Guardian of Illumia after all- he says smiling.

-You are taking this very hard, I'm very happy, after all since we met you have paid attention to feelings-

Lillie says that while both of their hands were on the bench and they accidentally touched each other, making them both startled nervously and blushing. The blonde looked at the swordsman for a while and he also looked at her. She takes a breath thinking "This is the hour".

-Nobita, I have to tell you something, I like you- That news makes the young man jump -When we met in that first dream when we were children and you smiled at me, your warm smile gave me strength and self-confidence, also when it was the other dream about the tea and what happened on the mountain, when you almost died, I couldn't let that happen to you, I even wanted to give you all my mana so that you could live. The fact that you care about the feelings of those you care about and the security that you gave me made me fall in love with you, especially for that warm smile that you have always given me to this day. I have kept these feelings to myself but, I had to tell you and spending time with you all these years has made that feeling bloom more and more-

-Lillie- Nobita says with a sparkle in his eyes

-I don't know how your feelings are about this type of situation right now, but I wanted to tell you what I felt- Lillie was going to get up to leave but Nobita doesn't let her go and she looks at him.

-Lillie... All these years that have passed and you have supported me over time have made me feel good being in a world that at first didn't feel like my home completely, but I thank you very much for being there for me, it made me feel good after having left everything behind, leaving friends, leaving my family, and leaving a person who as a child was very special to me, and I hope she is well.-

-My heart felt confused for a while, although you gave me the answer I needed, since I was a child you worried about me and took care of those feelings even when we grew up. So I...- Nobita blushes more and smiles -I like you too, Lillie.-

-Nobita- Lillie smiles -I promise to take great care of those feelings and that they are not hurt by anyone because...You mean EVERYTHING to me-

Both young people get up while Lillie tears up with happiness, they were both so close to each other that they couldn't help it anymore and they give each other a tender kiss. Alfonso, who was there, saw them with a couple of maids.

-WOW- Alfonso is quickly removed by the maids because they wanted to let the couple be calm and not gossip.

Sakura mentioned that both of them had gotten so close that it was inevitable, Gian and Suneo react curiously while Shizuka just sighs a little discouraged, but then smiles knowing that this was going to happen but happy to know that he didn't forgotten her -It's good that you haven't forgotten me Nobita, and I really hope that Princess Lillie makes you smile a lot, because if I could trust someone to take care of your feelings- Shizuka remembers the night of the farewell party when she looked at Lillie that looked at Nobita from a distance, the time the two of them talked in Ninfu and how she talked about him when they were just starting the adventure -It's just her... Make him happy, Lillie-

Years go by for both Earth and Illumia, the relationship between both worlds went well and there weren't only humans on Earth, but other species thanks to the exchange program between both worlds, which took a while for the humans of The Earth adapted to this new environment but little by little it even became another Illumia but with the modernity of the Earth.

With the portal open to the public, a path was made to go directly to it either by stairs or a small cable car, of course, as long as respecting the nature of the mountain. People of many species, especially humans, went down and up stairs to travel. Among those, someone well-known was getting on the cable car, it was Doraemon, who after years of having returned to the future, decided to come from the future to see how everything was going.

When the cable car went up completely, Doraemon got off excitedly and noticed that a couple of human people came out of the portal.

-Oh, he's Lillie's uncle!- Yes, Doraemon also got used to call the blonde girl with her name and approaches while the other person hides behind an older Alfonso who was wearing an artificial prosthesis.

-Wow, but he is the wind wizard! How are you?- Alfonso says smiling -I guess you came to see him, right? You're lucky, his schedule is freer today.-

-I'm glad to hear that- Doraemon notices that a girl of about 11 years old, with semi-fluffy black hair with a headband and clothes from the Earth of that time, was somewhat shy towards him. Doraemon are surprised to see her -Alfonso... Is she...?-

Alfonso nods -This is Alice, his daughter. She came today to spend her summer vacation at her grandparents' house. Alice, this is Doraemon, a friend of your father-

-Oh, hello.- Alice comes out of hiding and shakes his hand. -Are you Doraemon? Dad has told me a lot about you and your adventures, I usually visit my grandparents on vacation. I was very happy to meet you- Alice looks at the time on her watch -I have to go, we're getting late. Nice to meet you! Come on Uncle Alfonso, let's go with me to my grandparents' house!-

Alfonso was pulled by the girl -Nice to see you again, take care!- Both humans go down the stairs. At first Doraemon is surprised but then he smiles -So this was what they planned with Dorami. Anyway, I have to go there to see him.-

Doraemon goes through the portal and then uses the Anywhere Door to go directly to Ningen, thanks to the unification, it's a little more modern and had electricity that was driven thanks to the power of mana, making it so that in the future, when the mana arrives the Earth to use it as a source of renewable energy. That didn't mean that there were adventurers doing missions, since it was the best that Illumia offered. The blue cat arrives at the castle where he is recognized by the characteristics given to them by the King of Inuma and they let him pass.

The robot cat enters the castle, going through everything until he reaches the throne room, until he reaches the throne of the king and queen that were empty, he looks everywhere and hears the doors suddenly open. -It seems that I arrived at the moment I could see you- Doraemon turns around smiling -How did everything go...Nobita?-

The one who had opened the door was an adult Nobita who didn't change much from his younger appearance, he had long hair, with his glasses, it was obvious that he had grown. With a nobleman's costume closer to today and he had the bell on his chest, wearing a crown on his head.

(Editor's note: No offense, but I LIKE the adult version that looks like his mother much more, more than the current adult version in which the father's DNA ended up winning, it's not that he's ugly, but I like him more the growth spurt style where he looks more like him than his dad, so I'll use that version)

-DORAEMON!- The man runs and kneels to hug his friend -I'm so glad you've come to visit me! I'm so happy to see you- The bells that both of them were wearing began to shine when they met again, while an adult Lillie, in a more modern noble dress and with a queen's crown, came to see them.

-I'm glad to see you too, pal.- Doraemon looks at Lillie. -Hello Lillie, it's good to see you again-

-Welcome Doraemon, I hope your visit here is comforting- The queen smiles at the blue cat.

-Now King of Inuma, uh?- The blue cat giggles and Nobita blushes. -I see that you have really aspired to the top, buddy.-

Nobita separates himself from the blue cat, standing up suddenly -Heh, what can I say? I had to try TOO hard for Lillie, she had said she was going to become independent, but even my father-in-law, the former King Jenner, thought it was a good idea, so I had to work hard at studying and preparing to be king and marry Lillie, I didn't gave up and it was worth it, my agenda is almost always busy but with everyone's help, I'm doing remarkable, plus the Dekisugi of this world is helping me a lot by being my trusted advisor- Nobita says, scratching his neck while Lillie takes his hand and kisses him on the cheek.

-But in the same way, Ningen adores you even with help, darling- Lillie says, giggling.

-By the way, I already met your daughter, I see that you did very well in covering Sewashi with the help of unification, that is why his future is safe and now he is also an Illumian descendant and the future also appreciates the mana as another source of energy- Doraemon notices something in Lillie and points to a small lump on her belly -And it seems that Alice will have a new little brother- He says that and the couple of monarchs turn red with grief.

A scene changes to the large garden of the castle where Doraemon and Nobita were sitting on a bench.

-So Gian and Sakura stayed together just like Suneo and Sanyo, uh?- The cat asks that and Nobita nods -And I guess Shizuka and Dekisugi from our world...-

-I know that, the first love isn't forgotten, that's why I hope she is happy too, I want her to be. And I could only let it be if it's with Dekisugi in the end, childhood dramas pass when you mature, especially if you also have someone by your side like all of them, especially if this gives you two more reasons why you should strive - Nobita sees how Lillie looked at the flowers in the garden -Kioji is doing very well as captain of Yosei's army, we still see each other because he is still my friend and my master-

-I knew you were going to achieve great things if you put your mind to it.- Says Doraemon

Nobita really enjoyed the visit of his old friend, he had achieved a lot, too much than he thought, now he had to protect and take care of everyone's feelings in a land that was now his new home 100%.

-Thank you for visiting me, Doraemon.-

Both friends smile as they see the blue sky with a future as bright as the manna in their hands.
