Chereads / Doraemon: Nobita's Decision / Chapter 7 - 7: Epilogue?

Chapter 7 - 7: Epilogue?

Dekisugi sighed as he observed Shizuka's' behavior... It's been 5 months since Nobita stopped his future self and 1 months since Riruru came back, But it seems Shizuka still can't get over her rejection from the boy she used to love. She and Dekisugi went on a date the other day but today... she seemed emotionless...

Sitting on the pipes where the Doraemon gang usually hang out and play baseball, Shizuka stared at Nobita and Riruru leaning against the wall, chatting and laughing away. Shizuka frowned, Everytime they would hang out...Nobita and Riruru would always stay close to each other...like paper with glue and he spends more time with her than Shizuka. The girl in trouble still couldn't forget the time when she found out Nobita and Riruru started going out together

[Flashback]

Everyone was happy, Riruru was back! Everyone greeted her as they reunited with their robot friend...They decided to go out and celebrate at Suneos' house

The boys all talked about how unbelievable it was since they stopped Absolute, A being that almost destroyed their timeline...

It was hard to believe that everything returned to normal...While they were busy talking, Shizuka was hyping herself up. Trying to get her confidence to confess to Nobita. But before she could. Nobita and Riruru got up from their couch, saying they wanted to get some fresh air...Shizuka thought this was the chance and followed them...

But what she saw broke her heart...

Nobita and Riruru were sitting on the patch of grass in the garden...hands interlocked with one another and Riruru giving Nobita a kiss on the cheek...

Shizuka hurried back inside...holding back her tears...

She tried to confess to Nobita at school several days later, but she got rejected, confirming her suspicion that Nobita loved Riruru

End Of Flashback

Shizuka shook her head, she knew she just needed to get over it and be happy...but she couldn't...Watching them laugh away and chatting with each other reminded her when she and Nobita would spend time together.

Shizuka observed Nobita...Nobita for the past few days has becoming to look more like Absolute, letting his hair grow out and changing his style of clothes from a formal one to somewhat modern-Ish, this indeed shows Absolute was really just Nobita in an alternate future. staring at his bandaged knee... she didn't know Nobita was capable and brave enough to stab himself...I mean, Doraemon once told her Nobita shot himself in the knee before, but this still shocked her to see it in person...

Shizuka switched her attention to Riruru..sure she was happy her friend is back. But she become somewhat jealous of the robotic girl, going out with the boy she loved...

Why couldn't it be her?

"Shizuka...it's getting late..."

Shizuka snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Dekisugi hopping of the pipe...She didnt answer as she followed Dekisugi, ready to go back home...

She needed to be happy for them...no matter what...

Nobita entered the house and was greeted by his parents...honestly, it did surprise him that his mother allowed one more android to be staying with the family. Riruru wanted to walk around more as she has yet to explore the entire neighborhood. So, Nobita told her not to be late and entered his room...

Looking himself in the mirror really did remind him of a certain evil being...

"Glad it's all over...huh?"

"Nope...not over yet..."

A voice made Nobita jump, frantically looking around his room, his heart dreaded as he knew who the voice belonged to..

That voice...it can't be...

A boy, that looked exactly like him was sitting on his desk...smirking down at him

"Hello, Partner..."
