Chapter 15

3rd POV

Medusa looked dumbfounded.

You know, when she left, she used a teleportation spell made by the Demon King himself. Under the Demon King's palace, there is a huge teleportation formation. Every demon has been branded by the Demon Lord and he has control over their souls.

At the same time, the Demon King can also activate the teleportation array to teleport the demons under him to his hand at any time. The function of the teleportation spell is to actively stimulate the teleportation array, which is equivalent to the function of returning to the city.

But... a few seconds ago, she was clearly in the Demon Realm?

While she was in doubt, her eyes flashed and she was back to the demon world again.

And in front of her is the Demon King who is burning with black flames!

Beneath her feet, the teleportation array began to glow—clearly, the Demon King had used it to summon her back.

"Medusa, how dare you try to ignore me?"

Medusa's face changed greatly!

The Demon King looked furious at her. She quickly fell to her knees on the ground.

"My Lord, I can explain!!" She quickly responses, she was terrified of him.

Seeing Medusa's sincere demeanor, the Demon King gradually calmed down on his throne.

"I want you to take a look at my memory..."

However, the same thing happened again, before she could complete her words, Medusa disappeared again.

The one who appeared in front of her again was the child who mocked her previously.

"Yo, Medusa! You sure know how to run away quickly, huh?"

Nobita praises her in a mocking tone.

"However, you can't hide from us anymore. No matter where you run, I can keep summoning you back from whatever hole you crawl into."

Medusa finally understood. Everything is happening because of this insolent child in front of her!

"You..." She made a magic bullet in her palm and looked at Nobita fiercely.

"I will…!!" She shouts loudly.

However, Nobita had already set up an invisibility barrier around his group in advance. He only heard the start of her shout before she disappeared from her spot once again.

…

The Demon King had a gloomy face, raised his hands, and activated the teleportation array again, summoning Medusa back.

The moment he saw Medusa, he saw his obedient female subordinate.

With a fierce look on his face, he was about to punish her this time, but he heard something that almost made him puke blood in anger if he had any.

"… kill you!"

At that moment, the anger of the Demon King reached its peak!

"Medusa!!! You want to kill me?"

Fear invaded every inch of Medusa's body and her body trembled involuntarily.

Her surrounding became oppressive as if a mountain was suddenly placed above her.

Lilith was about to cry.

'Why is this happening to me?'

"My Lord! I've been wronged! I'm not doing this…"

Her body flashed out of there again.

She became desperate.

'What's happening to me? My Lord will kill me for whatever's happening' She thinks in despair.

When she saw Nobita's smiling face.

She just thought it was the most terrifying thing in the world.

At that moment, as a demon, she cried.

Aggrieved, unwilling, despair, filled her body.

"Waaaahhhhh…."

Medusa was almost completely unable to control her emotions.

She seemed to have already accepted her own fate.

Nobita and the others were also a little stunned.

"Hey hey hey!! Why are you crying? Don't run away again if you don't want me to keep summoning you."

 Watching the demon cry, Nobita still did not relax his constant vigilance.

Demons are cunning creatures, this could also be one of her tactics.

"I beg you! Let me go! Please don't do this to me anymore…" She requested like a crying child, not at all her usual self.

"Okay...then don't run..." Nobita was saying this, when she disappeared againg.

'Wooshhh'

Medusa disappeared again.

Nobita couldn't help but let out a curse this time.

"Fuck!! What's going on? Is this the demon king's doing?? But lets see how long you keep up with this!" Nobita shouts, facing the sky.

…

"MEDUSA!!"

Inside the Demon Hall.

A powerful magic bullet forms in the Demon King's hand.

With the activation of the summoning formation.

Medusa was summoned back by him again.

"Are you mocking me Medusa?? I think you don't want to live anymore!"

He could no longer tolerate this disrespect.

As the ruler of the Demon World, every single demon that lives in it is his subordinate/slave.

Now, a mere subordinate dares play this trick on him? That too not only once, but repeatedly!

"Explain yourself this instant!" He demands.

As he said that, the magic bullet in the Demon King's hand was instantly activated.

Medusa's face was full of fear, watching the magic bullet launched by the Demon King himself to kill or at least injure her severely.

'Wooshh!!'

But the magic bullet only manage to hit the air.

Seeing his attack fail, the Demon King grew even angrier but realized that this was not Medusa's doing. Someone else was summoning her elsewhere.

"Let's see who's behind this! Can they surpass my control over my subordinates, or will I prevail as always?" He remained confident that no one on Earth could rival his mastery of magic.

As he said that, he began preparing the summoning magic again.

"Return"

boom!

"To me now… Medusa!"

brush!

"Return!"

boom!

"MEDUSA!"

brush!

....

Medusa didn't know what she had done wrong. Things seem to be stuck in an endless loop.

She couldn't even complete her explanation to the Demon King which made him angrier.

After being summoned by the Earthlings, Medusa would be summoned back by the Demon King before she could do anything.

She had been summoned back and forth between the Demon World and Earth for ten MINUTES now!

The world in front of her is dazzling.

Like 2 different slideshows are put right before her eyes.

Medusa became a bit numb from this situation.

In the end, Demon King couldn't control his anger and when he summoned Medusa in the hall for the last time, he fired his massive magic bullet at her without a moment's hesitation.

At the last moment of Medusa's life, she only saw the Lord Demon King, who she had been loyal to all her life fire his magic bullet at her and… That's all she could think at that moment.

Nobita summoned her once again, but…

Medusa's charred body appeared this time.

This time... the Demon King was not able to summon her back.

Because she is dead.

Medusa's dead body shocked everyone.

"She… she's dead!" Suneo's jaw dropped.

"She was fine just a few seconds ago! What happened to her?" Gian was also stunned.

Shizuka couldn't bear to look at the body.

 Nobita becomes serious. He turns toward Doraemon.

"What's the situation, Doraemon?"

Doraemon also couldn't understand why she was killed suddenly.

"I don't know either! Nothing is wrong with my gadget, so it shouldn't be the cause. It's still Medusa but it looks like she was killed where she was before we summoned her here."

Nobita tried calling out the female demon's name to the gadget again, but this time there was no response.

"How did she die if the gadget didn't malfunction?"

 Nobita has a question marks on his face.

He didn't even have had the chance to test the limits of his magic on her yet.

"Perhaps there was something wrong with the teleportation magic she used to escape this time?"

Nobita guessed.

She could have made an error at the last moment to escape faster for the last time. Problems could arise with too frequent use. Like teleporting to an active volcano by mistake?

When Miyoko saw the female demon's body, she burst into tears.

"… dead, finally dead! Dad, your death has been avenged…"

Miyoko was sitting on the ground. She felt relieved at the demon's death, but still felt a bit empty inside because her death doesn't bring her father back.

The sad atmosphere affected everyone.

Gian and Suneo both had sour noses.

Nobita looked at his friends who were about to tear up, and already bawling her eyes in Shizuka's case and felt a bit sad for her as well.

"Don't worry, you guys, maybe we can still help Miyoko's dad." Nobita tries to cheer them up.

"Huh? What does that mean?" Miyoko asks surprised but soon remembers Nobita said something like this before as well.

Everyone did not understand for a while.

'Isn't the professor already dead? How will they help him now?' They all think at the same time.

"Doraemon, bring that gadget out." Nobita tells Doraemon.

"Okay! Commander Nobita!"

Doraemon mock salutes Nobita and turned over his pocket.

"That's it, the universal heating microwave!"

Nobita: "???"

Is Doraemon trying to cremate the body now?

"Oops, sorry, I got it wrong!"

"I'll get the correct one this time."

"Time Cloth!"

"Any item covered by a time cloth will change its time state."

"The front accelerates time, while the back reverts objects to their original state."

'An item that can change an object's time based on who uses it? Is it magic that controls time?' Miyoko grows increasingly shocked the more she interacts with them.

This kind of magic Miyoko had never heard of.

Here, as Nobita waved to the open space. The professor's body also floated out from where it had been hidden before.

Looking at her father's body, Miyoko's tears couldn't stop flowing again.

As Nobita twitched his fingers.

Time cloth also floated to professor's body under Nobita's control and covered it up.

However, as can be seen with the naked eye, professor's body seemed as if many months have passed, and soon turned into a skeleton.

"Father!"

Miyoko shouts panickingly.

"…cough, cough, sorry, I should have covered his body with the other side."

Saying that, he manipulated the time cloth and turned it over.

This time, things were completely different, time reversed on professor's body.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, Professor Mangetsu reverts from a skeleton to his original healthy form. Even the gaping hole in his heart heals, as invisible forces restore everything.

After feeling that Professor's injury has fully recovered, Nobita put away the time cloth.

"Nooooo….."

Professor Mangetsu shouts as he suddenly jumps awake. Quickly scanning his surroundings, he notices his daughter among the other people nearby, but he ignores the others and quickly rushes to his stunned daughter to warn her about the demons already on Earth.

He wanted to hide his daughter for her to stay safe.

"Don't worry professor, the demon that attacked you is right next to you."

Nobita quickly tells his to stop his panic and pointed to the charred corpse on the ground not far away.

Professor Mangetsu was dumbfounded.

"What's going on?" He finally inquires.

....

Upstairs, in the reception room, a group of people sat together, tasting the desserts that Professor just served them.

"I'm curious," Nobita said, his words catching the attention of the others. "Why did the demons target you first instead of attacking everyone on Earth all at once?"

The others also became curious now that they are able to think properly without any danger for the time being.

These demons didn't give priority to some other groups of Earth, but they targeted the Professor instead and almost succeeded if it were not for Doraemon's gadget.

"Does the professor have something the demons want?" Nobita wonders.

"That's a long story..."

Professor began to explain.

He and his wife were experts in ancient magic.

However, one day, their child, Miyoko, was born. After Miyoko was born, she was attacked by magic and was dying.

The husband and wife also researched ways to treat their daughter through various means. Magic, or mundane, they tried them all, but everything failed!

At that time, his wife began to have bad ideas.

She made a deal with demons.

Telling them that, his tone became low.

"We once found ancient demonic spells and sacrificial magic inside a ruin. Miyako's mother, when I was not at home, used the sacrificial magic to sacrifice her life and soul in exchange for Miyoko's life…"

"When I returned back, Miyoko was saved, but my wife… she had disappeared, leaving behind a letter to tell me about everything she did for our daughter."

It is because of this incident that the situation of their family is well known by the demons.

Because, the scroll they found had many records of demons, as well as their primitive magic.

Back then, human magicians learned the original human magic through research by relying on what was recorded on that scroll. They sealed away the demons to the Demon World when the situation became too dangerous for them.

"They were there to silence me… because I have the records of how the humans back then managed to seal the demons all those years ago."

Miyoko was also silent.

In fact, she has always known about this, but every time she thinks about it, she misses her mother who sacrificed her life in order to save hers.

"Nobita! Can your magical items help me bring my mother back? You just saved my father, who was already dead! Please..."

Miyoko looks at Nobita, her eyes pleading for help.

"..."

Nobita and Doraemon looked at each other.

Doraemon shook his head.

Nobita also understands what it means.

Bringing the dead back to life was already a stretch, but saving someone who had died many years ago seemed impossible.

Unless they change their history completely, which was also almost impossible, they couldn't help her in her mother's case.

But also because everything in this magical occurred due to the use of What If Phone Booth, even if they managed to bring her mother back, it would be meaningless…

Because sooner or later, Nobita will use the phone booth again and change the world back to the way it was.

But looking at her expression he still decides to try something to help her.

Nobita comforted, "I don't know if it will work, but I'll still try something."

At the same time, he also felt as if he was in a dream.

These so-called demons, magic, are just effects created by Doraemon's gadget.

Even Doraemon and Nobita, who came from the future, don't seem to be real tp him.

For some reason, from the moment he transmigrated into this world and obtained the chat group, he had almost treated the situation like a dream, like he would suddenly wake up and return back to his previous boring life.

'Forget it… I'll deal with whatever comes…'

Thinking of this, Nobita took the What If Phone booth from his spare 4D pocket.

He decided to test his theory. He made a bold move!

"Magic is no longer real in this world."

…

The next morning.

Nobita opened his eyes in confusion.

He hears his mother shouting from downstairs.

"Nobita! Wake up! It's time for you to go to school."
