Roaming through the world of Doraemon

"Yes, I really didn't expect that. Your manga has only been out for a short time, and the anime has already been produced. I heard that last night, Fuji TV celebrated all night long because Naruto's ratings broke 10 points." Gian walked up to Nobita, grinning and making an exaggerated face as he spoke to Nobita.

"That's right, Nobita, you're practically a celebrity in our town! Almost every kid in town has read your Naruto comics, and I bet they're all fans now. Even I, with my picky taste, can't say a word about the Naruto anime." Suneo rubbed his nose and praised Nobita with a smug grin. Although he was a little reluctant, it was clear that Suneo was genuinely impressed by Nobita's manga.

"I don't care about being a celebrity. I just want to live a peaceful and carefree life. Being a celebrity is just too tiring." For Nobita, the celebrity that Suneo talks about is more of a burden. Once he becomes really famous, his life will no longer be the free life he has now. At that time, his current family, friendship, and even those vague feelings will change and will no longer be the same as before. But for now, Nobita is more interested in figuring out what happened with the asteroid.

"By the way, Nobita and Suneo, did you see the news this morning that an asteroid is approaching Earth?" Gian and Nobita walked side by side with their schoolbags on their backs. As they walked, Gian remembered the important news from that morning and asked the two of them.

"That's impossible! If an asteroid were to approach Earth and hit Japan, our entire Tokyo would be reduced to ashes. But before that, the government will deploy heavy missiles to change the asteroid's orbit. Don't worry, Gian." Suneo walked beside Gian, confidently explaining the information he had heard from his father.

Nobita was speechless looking at Suneo, whose head was practically pointing to the sky. He had heard that missiles could change the orbit of asteroids, but that was only for very small asteroids. For large asteroids, missiles were completely useless. Moreover, not every country in the world could launch missiles into outer space. If Nobita told Suneo the truth now, given his cowardly nature, he would probably urge his parents to flee the city. However, the situation of the asteroid was unclear, and he knew that not many people would believe him if he told them.

Nobita, Gian, and Suneo chatted idly on their way to school. Nobita, standing among them, could feel the deep bond between the two childhood friends. They could talk about anything and everything; good friends really do have nothing to say to each other.

Although he could hear the two of them chatting animatedly and occasionally chime in, Nobita's mind was still preoccupied with the asteroid. The two of them might not know how things had progressed, but he, who had traveled from Earth to this place, knew that the asteroid was definitely real. If all of this happened, it would be terrifying. With this feeling of unease, Nobita attended school all day and rushed home with his schoolbag on his back before the school bell had even finished ringing.

"Ah, Nobita, you're back! Why are you back so early today? I thought you wouldn't be home for a while!" Doraemon, who was sitting on the foyer tidying up the messy counter, looked up at Nobita in surprise and asked.

"School got out early today, so I rushed back right away. By the way, did you manage to snag the 'What If' phone booth from the Future Department Store?" Panting as he ran home, Nobita's biggest concern, besides the asteroid, was the 'What If' phone booth—the key to unlocking the entire magical world. Without it, he couldn't save the world.

........ ....... 0

"Haha, after you started school, I went to the Future Department Store to splurge! As long as I, Doraemon, am involved, there's nothing I can't buy! I even managed to snag a 30% off 'What If' phone booth for a limited time! I really got a great deal today!" Doraemon stood up and happily told Nobita about his glorious haul at the Future Department Store, occasionally throwing in a couple of lines from the store's new product advertisements.

"It's good that you got it, it's good that you got it, if you get it, this world will be saved!" Nobita listened to Doraemon's rambling about the future shopping frenzy and felt a lot of emotions. If Doraemon messed things up this time, this world would be reduced to nothing.

"Doraemon, there's something I need to tell you. This phone booth you bought might be related to today's asteroid event, or it might be connected to the disappearance of Dr. Full Moon and his daughter that you mentioned." After Nobita calmed down a bit by resting his hands on his knees, he decided to tell Doraemon what he knew, so that Doraemon could at least be mentally prepared.

"What? How could a phone booth possibly be related to an asteroid event? Nobita, you're not kidding, are you?" Doraemon walked up to Nobita, took off Nobita's schoolbag, and asked incredulously.

Just as Nobita was about to argue with Doraemon, who looked on with disbelief, Tamako Nobi's voice came from the yard.

"Nobita, Doraemon, what's that strange stone statue in the yard? Did you bring something home again?!" (Death)

Chapter Four: Medusa's Fear

Nobita was startled awake by Tamako's shouts in the yard, who was chatting with Doraemon. How could there be a stone statue in the yard at this time? This is too strange. If we follow the original plot, the stone statue that fell into the yard at this time is very likely Doraemon's statue!

In my memory, Nobita and Doraemon were chasing the Demon King's army on the Demon World Star when they tried to use the time machine to travel back to the time when the magic world was opened to stop their past selves. Unexpectedly, Medusa, sent by the Demon King, caught up with them through the time tunnel. Then, the two of them were turned into stone by Medusa in the past world. One fell into his house, and the other fell into an open space. The one in the house now is probably Doraemon's stone statue.

Nobita pulled Doraemon into the yard, where they saw a strangely shaped snake woman statue in the very center, as if someone had deliberately placed it there.

How could it be a statue of Medusa! Nobita examined the statue with its snake-like hair and fish tail and realized that it was indeed the witch from the original story who turned Nobita and Doraemon into statues. Unexpectedly, she herself had now become a statue. Although it was a bit bizarre, what was happening before his eyes made Nobita believe that the magical world was invisibly invading this world.

"Nobita, Doraemon, is this the stone statue you put here? How did you bring such an ugly stone statue back? It would be so embarrassing if the neighbors saw it! You two, get rid of this stone statue right now!" Nobita Tamako stood in the yard with her hands on her hips, pointing at Nobita and Doraemon, giving off the air of a full-time housewife wielding power.

"We've never seen this statue before, and we don't know who put it here. It's really ugly. We'll get rid of it right away." Doraemon pouted and agreed with Nobi Tamako after hearing her words, clapping his hands as if he was about to get rid of the statue immediately.

"No, Doraemon, put this statue away first. I still need it. Don't destroy it yet!" Nobita quickly stopped Doraemon when he saw him about to pick up the statue and destroy it. He knew that although Medusa was bad in the original story, she was still Dr. Full Moon's wife and Miyako's mother. If Doraemon smashed her now, Full Moon and Miyako would probably kill him and Doraemon later.

"Nobita, how come you even have a use for this stone statue? You're acting so strange today. You asked me to buy defensive gadgets and told me not to touch this statue. What's going on?" Although Doraemon put Medusa into his four-dimensional pocket after listening to Nobita's words, Nobita's unusual behavior today really made Doraemon feel that Nobita was hiding something from him.

After watching Doraemon put Medusa into his four-dimensional pocket, Nobita finally breathed a sigh of relief. You see, Medusa's petrification ray would automatically dissipate once it touched the moonlight. Unlike the cloudy and rainy days of summer, spring weather was perfect with clear skies and sunshine. If the moonlight shone on Medusa now, given her ability to fly, it would only take her a minute to climb to Nobita's bed, and then he would be in big trouble.

"Doraemon, don't you find this stone statue strange? It shouldn't have been here when you were home during the day, right? Now, suddenly, someone has put it in our yard. Aren't you curious? I'll have you put the statue away now, and we'll examine it more closely when we go upstairs. Let's try to find something out!" Doraemon's sharp eyes kept scanning Nobita, making him feel very uncomfortable. However, given the current situation, Nobita couldn't tell Doraemon everything, otherwise, it would be full of loopholes and hard to explain.

"I'll trust you this time. Let's go upstairs, and I'll show you the 'what if' phone booth and other gadgets I found." Doraemon noticed Nobita's unhappy expression.

After Doraemon tidied up the Medusa statue in the yard, he followed Nobita back to Nobita's room on the second floor with his schoolbag and plopped down on the tatami mat.

"Nobita, let me show you the powerful 'what if' phone booth and evasion cape of the future!" With that, Doraemon took a huge pink phone booth out of his pocket and placed it on the tatami mat in the room.

"This 'What If Phone Booth 366' is an upgraded version of a regular phone booth. As long as you go inside and dial the number to tell the phone booth what kind of world you want to go to, the world you are in will immediately become the one you described in the phone booth the moment you come out."

Doraemon opened the door of the phone booth, picked up the green microphone inside, and gestured to Nobita.

"If I want to go to the magical world, can I just go into this phone booth?" Nobita asked, pointing at the "what if" phone booth in front of him, looking puzzled.

"Of course it can be done! Not only that, but every event that happens in reality has its own prototype in the magical world, so you definitely won't feel uncomfortable at all." Doraemon proudly patted the iron Ruyi Telephone Booth and introduced its functions to Nobita.

"Hmm, this evasion cloak is the most expensive item I got today besides the phone booth. It actually cost me hundreds of thousands of my savings. This item uses advanced infrasound to escape. With it, all attacks against you are useless. With just a light wave, you can even reflect the attacks back at you!"

Doraemon stood in front of Nobita, explaining interesting facts about the gadgets to him. However, Nobita's eyes fell on the Medusa statue that Doraemon had placed aside. Through careful observation, Nobita discovered that the Medusa statue was sweating when the two of them weren't looking.

Nobita noticed this anomaly and walked up to Medusa. To his surprise, he discovered that the closer he got to the statue, the more sweat it produced. It seemed that Medusa must have suffered quite a bit at Nobita's hands in the magical world later on, otherwise she wouldn't have been so scared and sweaty just by seeing him.

When Doraemon saw Nobita distractedly walk to the stone statue he had casually thrown out and stop to stare at the motionless statue, Doraemon walked up to the statue himself and looked at it. To his surprise, he also discovered something!

"Da Xiong, the stone statue is actually sweating!"

The world opened ahead of schedule in Chapter 5

"This stone statue is actually alive! She's actually sweating!"

Doraemon walked up to the Medusa statue and saw this amazing scene. The statue, which was originally placed in the yard, was now like a living person, with large beads of sweat constantly dripping from its head. Everything in front of him was really too unscientific.

Doraemon eventually discovered Medusa's secret. Seeing Doraemon's surprised expression, Nobita pondered whether to tell Doraemon about the Demon World Star. However, before Nobita could recover, Doraemon said something that almost scared Nobita out of his wits.

"No, this stone statue is too strange. I need to figure out what this stone statue is. Let's try using the Time Wrapper first."

Doraemon stared at the stone statue for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands as if he had come up with a brilliant idea.

"Time Traveler's Cloth!" Upon hearing Doraemon mention this name, Nobita immediately recalled the movie where Dorami came from the future and used this time-reversing gadget. Doraemon used it to save both Nobita and Doraemon. If Doraemon were to use it now, he could probably unleash Medusa in no time. Then, Medusa wouldn't be a stone statue anymore, but rather himself and Doraemon standing in front of her.

"Don't touch the Time Capsule yet! Look how fierce this stone statue looks! Aren't you afraid it will revert to its original form and eat you?" Nobita hurriedly walked up to Doraemon and pressed down on Doraemon's hands as he was about to reach into his four-dimensional pocket, speaking urgently.

After listening to Nobita's words, Doraemon looked at Medusa, who was waving her hands and had a head full of snake hair. He unconsciously took his hands out of his four-dimensional pocket, because he also felt that if he used the Time Wrap to revive the statue, the person inside the statue probably wouldn't be a good person either.

"Put it in your four-dimensional pocket for now. Maybe you'll find out the whole story of this statue after a while." Nobita gestured to Doraemon to put the statue in his four-dimensional pocket to keep it safe in case it was stimulated and woke up. That would be really a shock. The moon definitely wouldn't shine on it if it was in Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket. As long as you take it seriously, the four-dimensional pocket is a boundless alternate dimension prison. Medusa won't be able to get out for the time being.

"But, will it be okay to put it in like this?" Doraemon had put the stone statue into his four-dimensional space bag without any worries when he didn't think anything of it. But when he saw the living stone statue, he naturally became more timid. After all, he didn't want to have such a vicious thing inside his stomach. Who knows what might happen if this thing came back to life and gave you a hard time.

"It should be fine. Let's keep it inside for now. We can take it out if something happens. If Mom sees it here now, it'll probably be even more terrifying than if this monster comes back to life!" Nobita looked at the Medusa statue and didn't know what to do for the time being. Apart from keeping it in Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket, which seemed a little safer, putting it in his room or outside the house would be suicidal. For the safety of the whole family, he had no choice but to sacrifice Doraemon's four-dimensional pocket as a prison for now.

"Nobita, where did this statue come from? How did it end up in our house?" Doraemon finally listened to Nobita and put the Medusa statue at the very bottom of his four-dimensional pocket. Thinking about everything that had happened that day, Doraemon felt that Nobita must know something.

"The person on this stone statue is called Medusa. If you follow Greek mythology, she might be the snake-haired, fish-tailed witch in the myth who could turn people to stone. It's just that I didn't know that this witch, famous for turning people to stone, was actually turned to stone herself. It's quite funny." Nobita sat on the tatami mat, thinking about the origin of Medusa and sharing his knowledge of the stone statue with Doraemon.

"But how could something from mythology end up in the real world? That's just too strange." Doraemon found it very odd to hear Nobita talk about Medusa's birth. Such a creature, which only existed in mythology, did not exist in the real world, let alone in the 20th century.

Medusa's arrival not only made Nobita feel a little uneasy, but also made Doraemon, who knew the truth, feel a little uneasy. After all, it was terrifying enough that a notorious creature from mythology had come to his side, and most people would feel anxious and uneasy.

"If I told you this is something from the mythological world, would you be surprised, Doraemon?" Nobita said to Doraemon, sitting cross-legged and appearing quite calm.

"How could this be!" Doraemon was also shocked by Nobita's deduction, as if what happened today was a fairy tale.

"If I used the 'what if' phone booth to call the magical world you mentioned, would those mythical creatures actually appear?" Nobita said sheepishly, pointing to the 'what if' phone booth in the room.

"What if phone booth!" Doraemon looked in the direction Nobita pointed, and a large phone booth came into view. If Nobita meant what he meant by "what if phone booth," then a magical world could truly be created, and a magical world with a wondrous creature like Medusa would be a given.

“Yes, it’s the phone booth. Didn’t you want to go to the magical world before? Think about what you told me this morning about the asteroid suddenly going off course, Dr. Full Moon and his daughter disappearing, and the Medusa statue in the house. All of this seems to be related to the magical world behind this Ruyi phone booth.”

Nobita and Doraemon shared their observations of the day and made a bold deduction: if there were any strange things happening in this era, they must all be related to Doraemon, because in this time and space, Doraemon is the only intelligent nanny robot capable of stirring up time and space storms.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry and go check out the magical world! If any more monsters come out of that world, this real world will be in chaos!" As a robot from the 22nd century, Doraemon's sense of responsibility to serve humanity made him want to understand everything that was happening before his eyes.

"Wait, let me do it!" Nobita saw Doraemon walking into the "What-If" phone booth, stopped him, went in himself, picked up the receiver, and softly said, "I want to go to the magical world!"

Chapter Six: The Magic of Scientific Analysis

As Nobita uttered the words "The Magical World" from the phone booth, the world before them instantly transformed into the perilous magical world from the original story.

Doraemon dreamed of coming to this world to find an opportunity to develop his superpowers, but he didn't know that the magical world was currently at its most dangerous time. With the Demon Realm approaching and monsters running rampant, he could easily lose his life, let alone properly develop his superpowers.

"Doraemon, has this world become a magical world now?" Nobita asked Doraemon with a puzzled look after hearing the caller ID ring from the phone booth, which he had just put down.

"It should have turned into a magical world by now. The 'What-If' phone booth won't make a mistake. Just open the window and take a look if you don't believe me." Doraemon watched Nobita come out of the 'What-If' phone booth and quickly put it away. Unlike in the original story, he didn't just leave it lying around in the room and have it taken away by the magic trailer to be disposed of as trash.

After listening to Doraemon's words, Nobita went straight to the window, pulled back the curtains, and saw the most magnificent sight he had ever seen in his life. The dark sky was filled with rows of huge luminous pearls, illuminating the entire night sky as if it were daytime. What was even more bizarre was that these luminous pearls seemed to be embedded in the sky, without any sense of abruptness.

Below the light bulbs, a group of people were moving about in an orderly fashion, either piloting flying magic carpets or riding flying brooms, under the night sky illuminated by these luminous pearls. If Nobita hadn't known beforehand that this was a magical world, he would probably have been truly amazed by the scenery. Life in the magical world is really different from that on Earth.

"Well, Nobita, this is the magical world. I brought you to this world so that you could find a way to unlock your superpowers. I believe this world can definitely help you!" Doraemon walked to Nobita's side, lay on the bedside table, and looked at the countless lights in the sky with a serious expression.

Nobita leaned against the windowsill, a chilly spring breeze blowing past him. He really wished he could find a beautiful magical world far away from the Demon Star, otherwise this world would soon be in grave danger, and he would have much less time to find and develop his superpowers.

"It's getting late, go to sleep. Tomorrow you'll see what the world really looks like. Nobita, you'd better do your best then." Doraemon took Nobita's bedding roll out of the cupboard and spread it on the tatami mat in the room. He then skillfully climbed to the top shelf of the cupboard and lay down on the innermost shelf.

"Let's work together, Doraemon," Nobita muttered to himself as he pulled back the covers and crawled into bed.

The morning in the magical world was just like on Earth, with the sun warming everything around it. Nobita opened his eyes groggily after being stung by the sunlight.

As usual, with Doraemon's help, Nobita and Doraemon sat in the restaurant with their schoolbags, waiting for Nobi Tamako's loving morning. However, Nobi Tamako was much more impressive in Nobita and Doraemon's eyes today. Several slightly cooked fried eggs rolled in the air under Nobi Tamako's command, making sizzling sounds, and the rich aroma of fried eggs wafted over.

"What are you all looking at Mom for? Hurry up and eat! If you're late again today, even if you become the author of a magic magazine, I'll still show you the power of Mom's levitation magic!" Nobi Tamako waved her right hand, and two fried eggs flew straight into Nobita and Doraemon's mouths.

Levitation Technique! The levitation technique Nobi Tamako mentioned is probably the magic that made objects fly earlier. It seems that the power of this magic is almost as strong as the power of the psychic field she practiced. The magic world is indeed different from the world on Earth. Even the most ordinary person has such powerful magical abilities. We cannot be careless in this world.

After breakfast, Nobita, carrying his schoolbag, headed towards school along the route he remembered. Along the way, he saw many flying magic carpets flying over his head. If flying magic carpets were on Earth, they would probably be like family cars. However, he didn't expect that in this world, flying magic carpets were used far more often than cars in that world. They were flying everywhere.

After Nobita strolled into the classroom, the school bell rang. Just like in the original world, the teacher was still me, Narueichiro, but this teacher wore a triangular hat with star patterns.

"Everyone arrived very early today, and surprisingly no one was late. So, I'll begin today's lesson. Today, we'll be discussing a simple analysis of the principles of magic. I believe everyone is already proficient in using the levitation spell, but do you know the true principles behind your ability to use this magic? In today's lesson, I'll analyze the principles of magic for you."

0 ······Requesting flowers····· ·····

I, Cheng Rongyilang, stood on the podium with my textbook and began to explain today's lesson. Nobita, sitting below the podium, heard that I, Cheng Rongyilang, was going to explain the principles of magic. He immediately felt that he had to listen carefully to this lesson. If he understood the principles of magic, he might be able to break through his own superpower.

"The object levitation spell we often use is a common type of magic that uses one's own mental power as a medium to communicate the mass of objects. However, there are two things that are indispensable for the perfect use of this magic: mature mental power and active communication."

........ ........ ...

I, Cheng Rongyilang, gently flicked my finger, and the chalk on the podium immediately flew up like a wild horse.

"Look, this is the chalk under my mental control. Now it's as fast as a crossbow bolt. It's so fast thanks to my years of mental training, but that's only one condition. If you want this chalk to fly faster, more steadily, and for a longer time, then you need perfect communication with this world."

"Teacher, when we use the object levitation technique, aren't we usually doing it on objects? Why do we need to communicate with the world?" A student wearing thick glasses stood up and asked in class.

"Yamamoto, that's a good question. But after using the object levitation technique for a long time, you must feel a lack of mental energy and be exhausted. But if you learn to communicate with the world and gain its recognition, you will feel as if something is holding the object you are communicating with is holding it back. That is the true object levitation technique."

In class, I, Nobita, was sharing the principles of magic with my classmates about the common magic of levitation. At this moment, Nobita was a little unsettled. Wasn't the mental power that this world talked about just the telekinesis he used when he used his superpowers? As for communicating with the world, Nobita relaxed his body and spread his entire telekinesis around the school.

"Hmm! What is this thing!" (Death)
