A Different Doraemon World

The next morning, Nobita woke up very early. After having breakfast and washing his face, Nobita quickly told his mother, "I'm going outside for a bit," and then hurriedly ran out.

Mrs. Tamako was placing some plates on the shelf and, a little helplessly, said, "I wish he were as enthusiastic as this when going to school, but why did he wake up so early today?"

Nobita walked down the street, putting on his champion gloves. Although he was still worried about Doraemon, but after a night of thinking, Nobita felt that Doraemon was probably fine. After all, there had been times when Doraemon seemed dazed like that, but in reality, there was nothing serious going on. Sometimes it was because of a breakup, or a fight with Dorami, so Nobita thought that a few Dorayaki would cheer him up. For now, he decided to focus on handling Jaian first.

Thinking about the scene where Jaian would be defeated by him and Suneo would be terrified, Nobita began to smile with joy. At that moment, he passed by Shizuka's house.

Stopping in front of Shizuka's house, Nobita suddenly had an idea to invite her along. That way, when he defeated Jaian, Shizuka would be able to see how awesome he was. Nobita knocked on Shizuka's door, and in a moment, Shizuka came running to open it.

Shizuka looked very cute today, Nobita thought, and then shyly said, "Shizuka, are you free? Can you come out with me for a bit?"

Shizuka nodded and smiled, replying, "I don't have anything to do right now, so where are we going?"

"I want to challenge Jaian to a fight. This time, I'm definitely going to beat that fat guy," Nobita said, patting his chest confidently.

"Eh? Who's Jaian?" Shizuka responded, confused.

Nobita's smile froze. "Jaian, he's big, can't sing, and always bullies me."

Shizuka looked even more confused. "I really don't know who Jaian is. Is he some relative of yours?"

Nobita was shocked: "Shizuka, don't joke like that. Jaian, Suneo, we always play together, don't we? Even though Jaian and Suneo sometimes have a bad temper, we're close friends..."

"You're the one joking! I don't know who Jaian or Suneo are. Suddenly you're saying all these strange things, it's not funny!" Shizuka interrupted angrily, then turned around and slammed the door shut.

Nobita stood dumbfounded in front of the door, completely unable to understand what just happened. "If you don't want to go, then fine, but don't act like Jaian and Suneo don't exist..." Shizuka was acting really strange today, suddenly saying she didn't know Jaian and Suneo, and getting angry too.

Nobita sighed helplessly and walked to Jaian's grocery shop, then stopped. Jaian's mother was standing outside, sweeping the area. Nobita quickly approached her. "Excuse me!"

Jaian's mother looked up. "Oh, it's you, Nobita. What are you looking for?"

Nobita shook his head. "No, I'm looking for Jaian. Is he home?"

Jaian's mother frowned, puzzled. "Jaian? Who is that? Why are you asking about him at my house?"

Nobita opened his mouth in shock. "He's your son! Jaian is your son!"

Upon hearing this, Jaian's mother's expression turned grim. She yelled angrily, "What are you talking about? I don't have a son! I only have a daughter named Jaiko. If you keep saying nonsense, I'll go talk to your mother!"

Terrified, Nobita ran away, a million questions racing through his mind. What on earth was going on? Was everyone just playing a joke on him? But it wasn't April Fools' Day!

After running for a while, Nobita reached Suneo's house. The building was huge, and it was obvious it belonged to a wealthy family. Nobita hesitated for a moment, but then ran to the window and called out, "Suneo, are you free today? Want to hang out with me?"

There was no answer, and the window remained tightly closed. Nobita called out a few more times. Normally, Suneo would have opened the door by now and teased, "Who would want to hang out with a fool like you?"

Was Suneo not home? Suddenly, Nobita heard crying coming from inside the house.

Before he could figure it out, the front door of Suneo's house opened. A middle-aged man, holding a baseball bat, rushed out, swinging the bat around while yelling, "Who the hell is this? You like rubbing salt in other people's wounds, huh? How dare you joke about something like this? Get out of here!"

Nobita quickly ran off. If he wasn't mistaken, that man was Suneo's father, who was usually kind, so why was he acting so aggressive today? Everyone was acting so strange today.
