Chapter 35: Parallel Doraemon
Be sure to check out my latest fanfic novel! This time, I'm taking my writing to a whole new level of seriousness compared to my previous fanfics. I've dedicated a lot of effort to this one, and it's called 'Tycoon of Video Games.' Each chapter averages around 1,000 words or so.
===================
Nobita noticed that Ken couldn't comprehend the language of this world. And because Nobita had Doraemon's spare pocket, he gave Ken a translation gum, allowing Ken to understand the language of the people in this world.
Nobita and Ken were waiting for Doraemon in the prince's room.
The Anywhere Door appeared, and Prince Thio returned to his world with Doraemon. They were about to swap with Nobita when they saw someone else with him in his room.
Ken was surprised to see someone who looked just like Nobita.
"Nobita, who is this?" Prince Thio asked as he approached the two.
Doraemon also followed, staring at Ken curiously.
"Ah! This guy is from Earth and accidentally ended up in this world!" Nobita explained without much thought.
Prince Thio nodded, faintly understanding, but Doraemon asked Ken in surprise, "Is that true?" Doraemon wondered if there was still a place on Earth mysteriously connected to this world in an unknown era.
Ken shook his head and explained in detail, "Actually, I came from a world parallel to yours."
Nobita and Prince Thio were about to nod, but as they processed the words, they realized they didn't understand.
Doraemon was even more surprised. "Which means you're from a parallel world parallel to ours!?"
Ken nodded, and Doraemon was quite shocked.
"Yes. Actually, I also know you from my world, Doraemon," Ken said with a smile.
Why did he suddenly reveal this? Well, Ken wasn't too worried since this Doraemon is not the Doraemon he knows. Even if this Doraemon tried to communicate with his world's Doraemon, he could explain that he got into this world by accident. But it doesn't mean that this Doraemon has the ability to go to his world anyway.
"Really!?" Doraemon was shocked at first, then he asked eagerly, "What am I like in your world!?"
While Prince Thio and Nobita still didn't understand what Ken and Doraemon's words meant.
Ken touched his chin and said, "Nothing different. You two are exactly the same."
"Oh!" Doraemon was kind of excited at first, but then he suddenly thought of something. He said, "If that's the case... If the space connection between this world and your world is already sealed, then I may not have the ability to bring you back..." Doraemon said hesitantly to Ken.
"What do you mean, Doraemon?" Nobita was confused and said, "Aren't our worlds connected..."
Before Nobita could finish, Doraemon shook his head and interrupted, "That's not the case, Nobita. His world is different from ours, a parallel of our world."
Nobita was still confused, and there was nothing to be said to Prince Thio, who didn't understand a thing.
Seeing this, Doraemon explained further.
"Think of it like this: Ken's world and our world feel exactly the same with little differences..." Doraemon stopped and looked at Nobita and Prince Thio, who had confusion etched on their faces, so Doraemon continued, "But even if it's a small difference, it's this difference that really sets our world and Ken's world apart. For example, in Ken's world, he knows a Doraemon who is me but actually not me but the parallel me, and he may also know you, Nobita, but it's not you who knows him but the Nobita of his world." Doraemon explained in a series of words.
"I... I still don't understand..." Nobita said.
Doraemon felt helpless and just said, "It just means that Ken's world and our world aren't the same."
After saying this, Nobita suddenly felt he understood. "So that's how it is..."
Ken nodded along with Doraemon. Ken finally fully experienced the true power of the always-zero Nobita's power.
Nobita asked Doraemon to use the Anywhere Door, but Doraemon shook his head since Ken's world and their world may look exactly the same but they're actually from parallel universes... They're not even galaxies apart but universes apart.
One can only imagine just how far apart they actually are.
But Ken reassured Doraemon when he saw Doraemon racking his brains to help him out. "Don't worry too much, Doraemon. I actually have ways to return to my world anytime."
Doraemon stopped fussing around and stared at Ken, "Really!?"
Nobita, who also heard it, asked, "If you can return anytime, why did you seek help from me!? And you said you accidentally got here!?"
Ken awkwardly laughed, "Haha... I actually don't need your help to return to my world, but it's you who insisted. Besides, I lied about accidentally getting here out of caution... You never know if you, Nobita, and the Doraemon of your world are different and might be a bit worse compared to the Doraemon in my world, so I made that excuse. Now that I see there's not much difference, I felt at ease to tell you." Ken explained, despite the fact that he just made an excuse for no reason.
Eh? Nobita and Doraemon looked at Ken thoughtfully.
