Ken strolled down the bustling street, clutching a bag of groceries in his hand. Upon arriving home, he handed the groceries to his mother, who offered her gratitude. With his usual nonchalant demeanor, Ken responded, "You're welcome."
A warm smile spread across Ken's mother, Ruri's, face.
After this exchange, Ken headed towards the elevator that would take him to his room.
"System Panel," he called out.
His system information materialized before him, unchanged. Confusion crossed Ken's face as he realized that he should have received his task reward by now. Just then, the eagerly anticipated voice notification from the system chimed in, "Mystery Reward: You've earned 1 Copycat point!"
Ken's eyes lit up with excitement as he laid eyes upon his well-deserved reward from the mystery prize.
The Copycat point, as you might have guessed, required a week of charging before he could gain it.
His gaze fell upon his copycat stats, which were displayed as follows: [Copycat Slots 1/3]
On the right side were the Copycat points, indicating the remaining times he could copy, while on the left was the slots limit, suggesting that even if weeks passed and the right side points reached their maximum, he wouldn't accrue any additional copycat points. Simple, right!?
With a change of plans, Ken decided to head to the gym for a training session. He directed the elevator to return to the first floor, ready to step out with a spring in his step and a bright mood.
As Doraemon descended the stairs, Nobita's gaze remained fixed on the gadget that Doraemon had generously bestowed upon him.
Taking hold of the gadget, Nobita stepped out, lost in thought.
Nobita walked in contemplation, his steps carrying him until he stood upon a bridge overlooking a crystal-clear river.
Further along, he crossed paths with Takeshi unexpectedly.
"Well, well, Nobita!" Takeshi's voice boomed as a mischievous grin stretched across his face.
Startled, Nobita's heart raced as he turned and dashed away. Takeshi's voice echoed behind him, "You're not off the hook, Nobita! You still owe me 20 laps!"
With Takeshi hot on his heels, Nobita's mind raced, contemplating the gadget Doraemon had provided. He sprinted until a dead-end forced him to a halt.
Takeshi closed in, wielding a baseball bat and a wicked smile. "Caught you, Nobita! Nowhere left to run!"
Takeshi raised his bat menacingly, poised to strike.
In a panic, Nobita yelled while pressing the button on the Dictator Switch, "Vanish, Takeshi!"
Surprisingly, Takeshi, mid-swing, froze in mid-air.
Reality warped around Takeshi, resembling a glitched screen before he evaporated into thin air.
Nobita, once his nerves settled, watched Takeshi's vanishing act in amazement.
Emotions welled in his eyes, and he wandered aimlessly before sinking to the curb, lost in thought.
Shizuka, walking by, noticed Nobita's distant expression and hurried over.
"Nobita-san, are you alright?" she inquired, her concern evident.
"Takeshi..." Nobita murmured.
"What happened?" Shizuka queried, her brow furrowed in worry.
"I made Takeshi disappear," Nobita confessed with a mix of apprehension and sadness.
"Takeshi? Who's that?" Shizuka asked, perplexed yet sympathetic.
Nobita's anxiety deepened at her words.
"Takeshi! You don't know him?" Nobita implored with a quiver in his voice.
"I'm sorry, Nobita. I don't recognize a Takeshi," Shizuka replied, her concern unwavering.
Nobita's distress heightened, and he began to question people in search of Takeshi.
Shizuka trailed behind, her worry evident. However, each inquiry led to disappointment as heads shook in ignorance.
Even Takeshi's mother had an unfamiliar response, "Takeshi? I don't have a son by that name. I only have one child, my daughter, Jaiko Goda."
Disbelief washed over Nobita, leaving him hollow and despondent.
Shizuka continued to support Nobita, offering him a product for bathing before she continued on her way.
Unaware, Nobita wandered on, unaware of Ken observing him from a distance with curiosity.
"Ding! Congratulations! You've successfully replicated one of Doraemon's future gadgets, 'The Dictator Switch'."
