One night of indulgence left the girl with a touch more allure.
I stroked her short hair damp with sweat, looking at her sweet sleeping face, a smile tugging at my lips.
…
On the other side, after Doraemon and the others escaped the Demon King's castle, they were besieged by demon guards.
"This ti, we must capture them!"
"Be careful—don't let those guys hide again."
The demon guards rode red dragons, encircling Doraemon and the group.
Under the encirclent of so many demons, even with Doraemon's variety of gadgets, it was hard to cope.
"Everyone, put on the Pebble Hat now, then scatter and escape!"
"Then, we'll find a chance to regroup!"
In this crisis, they had no choice but to scatter and break out. However, these demon guards seed to have received orders from Demon King Demaon and brought along special dragons with keen senses of sll.
"Over there!"
As the special dragon sniffed the ground fiercely, it lifted its head toward a certain direction. The demon riding the red dragon then unleashed magic, sending a bolt of lightning.
Suneo and Gian were instantly electrocuted and fell to the ground, losing the ability to resist.
Shizuka was surrounded. Seeing Suneo and Gian's fate, she didn't resist and surrendered obediently.
Fortunately, the demons didn't seem intent on killing them imdiately.
They just captured them and took them back.
Among the group, only Doraemon escaped the encirclent. During his escape, he hurriedly pulled out a gadget from his four-dinsional pocket to erase scents.
That allowed him to evade the demons' pursuit.
Doraemon reached a stone forest and finally slowed down.
"Damn it, has everyone been captured?"
Doraemon anxiously smashed a nearby stone pillar with his little round hands.
"If only I'd pulled out a better gadget in ti."
"I wonder how Nobita is doing?"
Thinking of that, he couldn't help feeling more worried.
He shouldn't have used the what-if-telephone-booth to co to this magic world—maybe none of this would have happened.
It seed the only option was to use the Ti Machine to go back to that day and stop their past selves from using the what-if-telephone-booth.
With that in mind, Doraemon took out the Obtaining Bag and pulled out Nobita's desk from his room.
He opened the desk drawer, crawled into the ti tunnel, boarded the Ti Machine, and headed to the past tiline.
But just in case, before leaving, Doraemon left a marker for Nobita to find him.
…
At that mont, dusa, to make up for her failure and avoid punishnt from Demon King Demaon for only finding half of the Demon Realm Chronicles,
Volunteered to capture the escapees. After a long journey and magical detection, she finally spotted Doraemon crawling into the desk.
"I've finally caught you."
dusa also crawled into the desk and entered the ti tunnel.
Doraemon was piloting the Ti Machine in the ti tunnel when it suddenly showed soone chasing from behind.
But how could soone be chasing in the ti tunnel?
As Doraemon wondered, he looked back and saw it was the demon dusa pursuing him.
Doraemon accelerated the Ti Machine, then quickly climbed out of the tunnel exit upon reaching the destination.
"Damn it, dusa actually followed!"
At that point, dusa also erged from the ti tunnel.
Doraemon ran while fumbling in his pocket for a gadget, but he couldn't pull anything out. While escaping, he accidentally fell from a downstairs window.
"Damn, I forgot I wasn't wearing the Take-copter."
Doraemon grabbed a nearby broom and instinctively shouted "Take off" like in the magic world.
He regretted it imdiately—he'd forgotten this wasn't the magic world.
But suddenly, he felt himself flying.
How? This isn't the magic world!
Before Doraemon could think more, dusa attacked from behind.
Doraemon chaotically flew the broom in circles, dodging dusa's magical attacks.
But you can't dodge forever—amid multiple magical strikes, Doraemon was hit by one.
Then, Doraemon turned to stone, becoming a statue. The broom, uncontrolled, kept flying forward, and the statue Doraemon plumted straight down.
It smashed right into the roof of Nobita's house.
Ti closed the loop at that mont.
…
…
I stepped out of the tent and stretched lazily—last night had been incredibly satisfying.
Behind was Miyoko, her face full of shyness.
Waking up in the morning and seeing her cute appearance, I couldn't resist playing with her a bit more.
"What should we do next?" After dispelling her earlier thoughts, Miyoko decided to follow my arrangents.
"Mm! I'll go et up with Doraemon and the others first!" After thinking, I figured it was best to regroup and then brainstorm ways to defeat Demon King Demaon.
After all, more people an more strength—maybe soone would co up with a good idea.
"Okay!" Miyoko nodded.
I packed up the gadgets, and we walked out of the cave together.
I took out the tracker—that was what Doraemon had given earlier, to let know his position.
It was a long-range signal emitter, specifically for locating.
"This way!" I led Miyoko in a certain direction.
At another stone forest, I also found the marker Doraemon left.
A dorayaki symbol—that was what I'd agreed on with Doraemon before.
I discovered my desk right there.
Why did Doraemon bring the desk here?
It seed just like in the original story—he wanted to go back to the past and change the fact that we used the what-if-telephone-booth.
But could it really be changed?
I remained doubtful.
Opening the desk drawer, I found the Ti Machine still there.
So I directly asked the Ti Machine if Doraemon had already gone to the past.
The Ti Machine replied that it had indeed sent Doraemon to the past, but it also said they encountered a magical creature's pursuit in the ti tunnel.
It must be dusa—I thought of the Doraemon statue we'd encountered at ho before. It seed Doraemon had been turned to stone.
I had to go back and save him—after all, I didn't know if Dorami would show up like in the original to save Doraemon.
"Let's go! To the ti point where Doraemon is."
I said to the Ti Machine.
"Miyoko, wait here for a bit! I'll go save Doraemon first."
Seeing board the Ti Machine, Miyoko was puzzled but obediently followed my words—after all, last night's efforts weren't for nothing.
They'd taken a lot of my energy.
The semi-intelligent Ti Machine heard my command and automatically locked onto the ti and space, carrying to the past.
After a while, passing through the ti tunnel filled with floating clocks, I reached the exit and climbed out of the drawer.
I'd returned to the past ti point.
