Doraemon: Nobita and the True Warrior: The Very Beginning

Chapter 13: Hibernation In The Future

Doraemon stood in the living room, his round face glowing with a rare sense of excitement. "Nobita, Daiki, I've decided to take a vacation!" he declared. Nobita's jaw dropped and Daiki looked up in surprise. "I'll be hibernating in the future for a week. It's just seven days—you two can handle that, right?"

Nobita, clutching his comic book, wailed dramatically. "Seven days? How am I supposed to survive without your gadgets?" Meanwhile, Daiki tilted his head, his face blank. "Vacation? What's that again?" Doraemon chuckled, patting Daiki on the head. "Don't worry, you'll figure it out. I already got permission from your parents, Nobita. Trust each other, and you'll be fine!" With that, Doraemon stepped into the Time Machine and vanished.

DAY 1: Monday

The first morning without Doraemon began in chaos. Nobita overslept, as usual, and Daiki wandered the house aimlessly, muttering, "What was I supposed to do again?" By the time Nobita rushed downstairs, his mother was already fuming. "Nobita! Why haven't you cleaned your room yet?" she scolded. Nobita groaned, realizing there'd be no Doraemon gadget to save him this time.

Grumbling, Nobita trudged back to his room, dragging Daiki along for help. "Alright, Daiki, start picking up these books while I—uh—supervise," Nobita said, plopping onto his chair. Daiki blinked. "Supervise? What's that mean?" Before Nobita could explain, Daiki started piling books into random places, creating more mess. "Wait, no, that's not how you clean!" Nobita yelled, scrambling to fix the chaos.

As Nobita tried to fix Daiki's "arrangement," he tripped over a loose comic book and sent a tower of books crashing down. "Aaah!" Daiki shouted, leaping onto the bed to dodge the avalanche. In the chaos, Nobita accidentally knocked over his desk lamp, which clattered to the floor. "Why is this so hard without Doraemon?" Nobita wailed, throwing his hands up. Meanwhile, Daiki was busy stuffing random objects under the bed. "Look! Clean!" he announced proudly, though the room now resembled a disaster zone.

Panting and frustrated, Nobita sat on the edge of his bed. "This isn't working. We need a system!" he declared. Daiki tilted his head. "System? Is that another word for snacks?" Nobita rolled his eyes. "No! I mean... like a plan. Okay, I'll pick up all the books, and you handle the trash." Daiki nodded enthusiastically, grabbing a trash bag. Things seemed promising—until Daiki started throwing random things, like Nobita's alarm clock and a shoe, into the trash.

"Wait, Daiki, stop!" Nobita lunged for the trash bag just as Daiki was about to toss it out the window. "That's not trash—it's my alarm clock!" he yelled, snatching it back. Daiki blinked innocently. "Oh, I thought it was broken since you never use it." Nobita sighed, setting the clock aside. "Okay, let's focus. I'll sort everything first, and then you just help put things where I tell you. Deal?" Daiki grinned. "Deal!"

Finally, with teamwork (and plenty of Nobita's supervision), the room started looking somewhat tidy.

Feeling accomplished after their cleanup effort, Nobita and Daiki decided to step outside and see what the day had in store. The sun was shining brightly, and the neighborhood was alive with activity. Gian's booming voice echoed from down the street, likely threatening another impromptu concert, while Suneo was showing off a shiny new toy. Daiki squinted at the bustling street and asked, "So... what do we do now? Explore? Find snacks? Or avoid Gian before he makes us listen to him sing?"

Nobita glanced around nervously, keeping his head low. "We'd better avoid Suneo. He's probably still mad about losing the Great Sora Sky Race." Daiki looked puzzled. "But why?" Nobita sighed. "Yeah, because he cheated! He tampered our friends, but I caught on and outsmarted him so I ended up winning. Suneo's still sulking about it. Hero or not, I don't want another argument."
