System and Tasks

"Future Copy Gadget System, or Copycat for short?" Ken exclaimed in shock.

From the moment the system copied Doraemon's dokodemodoor, and the copycat slot had also been used once, it meant that it was used up the moment it copied Doraemon's gadget.

"System? Are you conscious?" Ken wondered in his head, expecting the systematic voice that had sounded in his head before.

"No?"

"System Panel," Ken said with annoyance, thinking that nothing would appear. He thought the system would only appear when there was a gadget to be copied and a slot available, and just as he thought that, the system panel appeared.

Ken's eyes widened; he hadn't expected it to appear.

[Name: Ken Hayashi. Age: 10

Tasks: Praise Takeshi's voice – Reward: 1 inventory slot.]

Praise Takeshi? Really? Well, it's just praise. Maybe simple praise will do. It won't hurt anybody's feelings after all.

As Ken was absorbed in his thoughts about the sudden appearance of the system, someone called him.

"Ken-kun!"

He looked and saw that it was Doraemon's voice.

"Are you alright, Ken-kun?" Doraemon nudged Ken, who seemed to be dazed.

Ken snapped out of his reverie and nodded at Doraemon.

"You've been dazed for a long time, Ken-san. Doraemon has been calling you out for a while, you know," Shizuka said worriedly.

"Hahaha, Ken-san was just surprised by Doraemon's outstanding gadgets!" Suneo laughed in amusement.

Nobita nodded proudly, while Dekisugi looked confusedly at Ken. His instincts felt that wasn't the only reason.

"Haha, that's right! Doraemon is awesome!" Ken said and praised.

"Doraemon-chan is really an awesome robot," Shizuka followed with a smile.

"Really? Hehehe, I'm not that awesome, you know," Doraemon modestly said as he blushed in embarrassment. Nobita nudged Doraemon teasingly.

While they were still teasing Dorameon, they saw that Takeshi's performance had already ended. Doraemon hurriedly took back the gadgets and put them back in his pocket, and the rest quickly returned to their positions and clapped their hands loudly.

"Outstanding performance!" Suneo shouted as he clapped loudly.

"Hehehe!" Takeshi proudly stood in front of them and bowed.

Nobita and the rest smiled happily when they saw that Takeshi acted so proud. It meant Takeshi didn't notice that they weren't paying attention to his performance at all.

Also clapping, Ken shouted in praise, "Incredible! Your voice matches only those superstars I see in the US!"

Everyone turned to Ken's happy face, and Takeshi's eyes grew watery. This praise was the most genuine he had ever felt, so Takeshi knew that Ken must have liked his performance very much.

"Hahaha! It's only natural! I'm Takeshi Goda-sama, after all!" Takeshi laughed to hide his teary eyes. But Takeshi was oblivious that his eyes were reflecting the light and shining.

Takeshi felt his mucus slowly making its way out of his nostrils. He hurriedly turned his back to others and acted as if everyone wasn't there. He blew his mucus onto his clothes and wiped his tears.

Everyone felt their mouths twitch. He really thought that just by hiding his face and turning his back to them, they wouldn't know what he was trying to do?

But that scene was rare, especially for Takeshi, to show weakness for the first time. Nobita and the rest looked at Ken with a smile.

When they saw Ken's face, they noticed him smiling brightly, and even Shizuka was a bit dazzled. When Nobita noticed that his precious Shizuka was blushing, he became alert to Ken's presence.

But little did they know, Ken's smile wasn't just because he made Takeshi feel good, but the system had just sounded, indicating that he had received his reward.
