Doraemon and Nobita have been walking along the yellow road for a while to reach the Emerald City. While the cat continued normal, Nobita was with his tongue hanging out from exhaustion. -I can't, I think I'm going to faint- Nobita sits on a stone that was next to the yellow path -I need...a break-

-But we've only been walking for like 5 minutes- Doraemon says walking towards him -At least enjoy the beautiful colorful landscape that you so insistently wanted to see-

-It's difficult to enjoy a good view when you're tired- Nobita lies down on the stone since it was the same length as the tubes in the vacant lot -I'll take a nap-

-No, no, no, no, no, no naps!- Doraemon says, making Nobita sit up suddenly. -We have to go to Emerald City to see the magician and thus finish the simulator, don't complain!-

-I know, I just wanted to rest for a little while- His belly is rumbling -And I haven't eaten anything. What happened to the Dorayakis?- Doraemon turns red with embarrassment.

-Oh, sorry, they were so good that without realizing it I ate them all before leaving the house- Doraemon says, laughing and scratching the back of his neck while Nobita lies down frustrated and, raising his foot, looks at one of the ruby shoes, which now they were shaped like moccasins.

-If I have these shoes on it means that I'm now playing the role of Dorothy, right?-

-Well yes, you pressed the simulator button, now you are the protagonist of this story, they are the rules of the game, obviously. Tell me Totto and I'll smack you on the head- says Doraemon looking at the ruby shoes -And try not to take off your shoes until we're done, we don't know how the simulator will take it if you do that-

-It's not like I can do it the same way, they're very tight at the top, they're not going to come off my feet that easily- Nobita sighs -What about our house? Will it come back with us when we finish the simulator?-

-I guess it's because of the simulator system more than because of the story itself. And yes, the house will be back in place as soon as we get through this. But get up Nobita, if we don't move forward, we won't be able to finish the story- Says Doraemon

-But I'm hungry- Nobita looks ahead and sees what looked like a corn field and stands up suddenly with a barn in the middle -What is that?-

-It's a field of corn cobs.- Doraemon stares while Nobita gets up from the stone and runs along the path -This is surely the part where we are going to meet...-

Doraemon follows Nobita and they both arrive face to face at the golden field of corn cobs. Nobita was so hungry that he starts to drool -Look, they must be ready by now! I'll grab one!- Nobita says, but Doraemon holds his hand to stop him.

-We can't take anything from here, it must be someone's property and it isn't okay to take what is not yours-

-But I'm hungry!- Nobita says kneeling and crying.

-He's right, stealing isn't right, I already have a lot of problems with the crows who don't want to leave here- A voice sounds close to where Nobita and Doraemon were, they walk a little and see a scarecrow tied to a stick like the ones that are usually found in the crop fields, with a hat with suspenders, shoes and a walk all the color of straw, but he seemed to have the appearance of a human child.

-Uh? Dekisugi?- Yes, Nobita realized that the scarecrow was just like his classmate and love rival -Wow, I didn't think this would happen, I can't believe he's the scarecrow.- Nobita tries not to crack a smile.

-I already believe it, that role would have suited someone who was more forgetful- Says Doraemon while he looks askance at Nobita.

-And why are you looking at me?- Nobita says a little angry but hunger takes away his anger -Hungry, please, give me even a cob, Dekisugi.-

-Wow, I don't know how you know my name, but the people usually call me Scarecrow. And, I'm sorry, I have the mission to protect this field and as much as I want to give you a cob, I'm not authorized, I'm very sorry- says the scarecrow Dekisugi somewhat sadly

-AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH- Nobita kneels again feeling hungry -I'll die before reaching the Emerald City!-

Dekisugi is surprised by what Nobita said -Did you say Emerald City? It would be a pleasure for me if I could accompany you. I wish I could be very clever, I feel that I don't have enough intelligence to prevent the crows that usually come to the field from eating the corncobs, I can't be able to find a way to scare them away.- A crow lands on his head like if nothing and the straw boy just sighs -Do you see what I mean? I would like to ask the magician for a brain, so I could solve my problems through effective solutions-

Another crow sits on Doraemon's head and he tries to scare it away to no avail, so he just sighs in frustration. -Well, for someone who lacks a brain, he talks like a Dekisugi.- Nobita only gets a little indifferent for a moment remembering how good the real Dekisugi is. -But what about the field of corncobs?- Nobita says still holding his belly

-I can leave a substitute that I have in the barn, although I don't think it will make that much difference. Would you allow me to accompany you on your journey?- Asks the scarecrow.

Nobita and Doraemon see each other and smile, then they see Dekisugi -Of course! We couldn't leave you here. We aren't from this place and we will ask the magician to return home- Nobita says but then speaks in a low voice -Besides, it's not like we don't have a choice if we don't follow the story as it is even if it's a straw Dekisugi-

-Thank you very much for accepting me. But first, could you help me get down from here please? I asked those who usually pass by this place to help me position myself here as another attempt to scare away the crows, but it didn't work either and I can't untie the ropes.-

The silly boy, with a little difficulty due to hunger, approaches the straw Dekisugi and manages to untie him and lower him, making the crow leave. -I'm Nobita and this is my friend Doraemon by the way-

-Thank you very much Nobita, magnificent shoes by the way.- Straw Dekisugi says, focusing his attention on the ruby shoes.

-Uh, thanks- Nobita says, scratching the back of his neck.

-Let's put the substitute here and let's go, uh, no matches, straw and fire shouldn't be together at all-

As soon as the substitute was placed where the straw boy, Doraemon, was, Nobita along with his friend Dekisugi Scarecrow walks leaving the cornfield behind. The blue cat finally manages to scare away the crow that was on his head, while the silly boy, as expected, was behind them, holding his belly that was already starting to roar more and more, so he just kneels down again. -Nobita, don't be left behind again- Doraemon says approaching the boy with the glasses. -What a bad face you have pal-

Nobita laughs a little -Will you believe me if I tell you that I didn't eat the school food because I dropped it on the floor? he he-

-WHAAAAT?! You haven't told me that! And you couldn't eat breakfast today either because you were late for school again! Now I feel terrible for eating all those Dorayakis by myself. You should have told me that before!- Doraemon scolds Nobita while Dekisugi Scarecrow approaches him

-It's just that at that time hunger didn't affect me and I was thinking of eating the dorayakis- Nobita says, tearing up due to the roaring of his belly.

-Sorry to intrude but, it isn't okay to skip any of the 3 meals a day, it's important to keep yourself with enough energy, especially if you are a human in full development- Says the scarecrow, leaving Nobita stunned.

-Are you sure you really need a brain?- The boy's stomach growls more, starting to hurt -I can't walk anymore...-

Doraemon carries Nobita on his back so that he doesn't walk for now while desperately looking everywhere -We need food and now!-

-Oh! There's a field of apple trees! Its fruits look big and juicy, and the apple is a great source of energy. Let's go!-

The two run towards the apple orchard while Doraemon carries Nobita, they manage to get there and see how the apples looked good, Nobita looks at the apples and stands up suddenly despite his fatigue from hunger -COOL! APPLES! Doraemon, help me reach one!- The boy with glasses climbs on the robot cat's shoulders and manages to grab an apple that was lower -FINALLY!-

Suddenly, the apple tree, with one of its branches as if it were a hand, snatches the apple away abruptly, causing both boys to lose their balance and fall to the ground. -Hey! Don't be stingy, give me even one, I feel like my stomach is disappearing!- The silly boy complains but realizes that the tree was alive -Is the tree alive?! How awful! If it don't let us take an apple. How will we take the apples?-

-Maybe...- Dekisugi scarecrow says -If we make him angrier we can get some apples, right?-

-I think I understand what you mean- The blue cat looks at the tree -Sorry in advance for what I'm going to do- Doraemon approaches and begins to make gestures at the tree as if he were making fun of it, the angry tree begins to throw apples angry, Nobita takes advantage and grabs the apples that ended up on the ground.

-YAYYYY! Thank you for the food!- Nobita takes a bite of one of the apples and his eyes light up, crying happily at the juicy and sweet sensation in his mouth -How delicious!-

-Thanks for the idea, scarecrow- Doraemon says and Nobita nods with his mouth full.

-It was difficult for me to think about it, but, if it has helped at all, it makes me feel good to have helped- Straw Dekisugi says, scratching the back of his neck.

-I'd better collect some for the road.- Doraemon begins to collect the leftover apples and put them in his pocket.

Suddenly, when picking up the last one, he sees a large shadow in front of him, the blue cat raises his head and discovers a tin boy who was motionless but was large and robust, the curious thing is that he was the same as... -What? Gian?- The cat mentions in surprise.

Nobita looks towards Doraemon and swallows a piece of apple that he was chewing, he had already eaten like 4. -Really?!- The boy gets up suddenly with a little more energy and with the straw boy approaches to the tin boy -He does look like Gian- he touches the robust boy on the shoulder

-HEY! DID I GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DO THAT?!- The scream that the robust boy lets out makes Nobita fall to the ground in surprise. -Does it seem nice to you to be biting someone who can't move?-

-S-sorry, I just thought you were frozen or something because you don't move at all!- Nobita says with fear because those screams remind him of the real Gian.

-I can't move because I rusted, I was felling some logs and rained, now I can't move, thanks for asking!- Tin Gian says in a sarcastic tone -I'm Takeshi, but some call me Giant and most people call me Tin Man.-

-Wow, he is just like Gian- Nobita says in a low voice, he sighs because he knows he has to take him with him no matter what, even though he was a little scared -Do you want us to help you with that?- Asks the boy

-It's about time you asked. Yeah, I need help! I had an oil can but I dropped it and it was empty- says Tin Gian

Doraemon checks his pocket and takes out a full oil can -I have one, I use it sometimes when I do maintenance on the gadgets in my pocket, besides, I pity you a little, I'm made of steel because I'm a robot cat, it doesn't happen to me nothing with water but I do understand the feeling when there are magnets-

The blue cat, with the help of Nobita and the scarecrow, manages to oil the parts of the body so that he can move. Finally, the Tin Gian was free of rust, and he moved his entire body, including the ax he had in his hand. -Finally free!- The robust boy shouts and looks at everyone -You were already taking a while to give me a hand!-

-I think the correct term is "Thank you"- Doraemon says that while he puts the oil can in his pocket.

-Yes, thanks, whatever, I was standing like that for a whole year!- Gian says while he moves his body when he feels stiff.

-One year? That's a long time, I think so- Dekisugi says a little confused, scratching his straw head.

-That doesn't matter, it's not like I know better than to raise my voice- Tin Gian hits his hollow chest -I have no idea what it feels like to be kind, or to be loyal, or worse to fall in love, because I don't have a heart. If I had one I think... it would be nice, I don't know, I have no idea what it feels like to feel warm in the chest from feeling something positive-

Nobita knew what that meant, so he just exhaled, ignoring how rude this tin version formed by his own memories was -Hey, if you don't have anything else to do, could you...- At that moment, the Witch's red cloud of the West appears again, darkening the sky, bringing back the villain of the story, the 4 boys are stunned to see her, especially Nobita and Doraemon, who have to deal with her again.
