Right after I used instant teleportation to get out of there, I noticed the construction site behind me had turned into a total mess, with alarms blaring. I figured it was probably because those two bodies had been discovered, but since I'd already escaped, I didn't care what was happening inside anymore.
But just as I was about to leave, I suddenly realized—maybe it was due to the spatial vibrations from the teleportation or something—that Chippo, who I'd been floating with my telekinesis, slowly started waking up.
"Big Brother Nobita, you came to save me!" Chippo said as he slowly opened his eyes.
"Chippo? You're finally awake!" I was thrilled—did this mean my mission was saved?
But when I sensed him with my telekinesis, my face fell immediately. Great, another one like Prince Kuntakku—his heartbeat was so weak, and he had fractures all over his body. He was basically on the verge of death; what's the difference between that and being dead?
Princess Spiana didn't know, though. Seeing Chippo wake up, she happily said, "That child isn't dead! Nobita, you've done another good deed!"
I didn't bother correcting her. I mean, I couldn't just say in front of everyone, "This guy's about to die; I didn't really save him!"
But this meant I couldn't use instant teleportation anymore!
Floating all three of us back to the base with telekinesis the whole way? That distance would be too long—my psychic powers might not hold up!
After thinking for a bit, I came up with a plan. I pulled out the Take-copter I'd gotten from Doraemon earlier and stuck it on my head. Yeah, the good old Take-copter was still the most reliable way to travel!
I held Princess Spiana in my arms as we flew through the sky, using my telekinesis to float Chippo along with us. I even used my powers to block the wind in front of him to make it easier on the poor kid.
Sigh, I'd done everything I could.
"Wow! Nobita, we're flying!" Princess Spiana exclaimed in surprise from my arms.
As the ground got farther and farther away, she hugged me even tighter, afraid she might fall.
"Nobita, is this the amazing magic from you foreigners?" she said happily, gazing at the aerial view for the first time.
She knew about the royal prophecy and that we were here to save the country.
On the way, Princess Spiana kept chattering away—about the scenery, or asking me questions about myself.
But I was worried about Chippo, plus I had to maintain the telekinesis, control the Take-copter, and hold onto her soft, wriggling body in my arms—it was all too much multitasking, and I was getting tired. I could only give short, distracted replies.
She didn't seem to mind, though, and kept talking happily on her own.
Eventually, maybe she got tired of the view or realized my situation, because she quieted down and just nestled silently in my embrace.
Her face was flushed red, and I wondered what she was thinking.
Just like that, after some time, I slowly flew us back to the base where Doraemon and the others were.
When we finally landed, I said, "Princess Spiana, we're here."
She knew we'd arrived and that she shouldn't keep hugging me anymore. For some reason, she looked at my chest with a hint of reluctance.
That's when I finally had a moment to really look at her. I'd been too busy before to notice properly.
Princess Spiana was draped in a thin, sheer veil-like cloak, wearing an elegant, luxurious long dress that hugged her curves perfectly—her full breasts straining against the fabric, her waist narrowing invitingly, and her hips flaring out in a way that made my pulse quicken. She had jewelry and gold ornaments on her wrists and head, sparkling against her skin. Even with her beast ears, she exuded this innate noble aura.
No wonder Daburanda was smitten—I was feeling it too. I hadn't realized I'd been holding such a stunning woman in my arms this whole time. Her body felt incredible—soft, warm, and those subtle movements against me had been... distracting, to say the least. The way her breasts pressed into my chest, the heat of her thighs brushing mine—it was all so arousing, even if I tried to focus on flying.
Princess Spiana noticed me staring and her cheeks turned a deeper shade of red, which made me snap out of it, a bit dazed.
But I shook it off; right now, finding Doraemon and the others was more important.
From afar, I could see the courtyard looked like it'd been searched—probably soldiers sent by Daburanda.
Where was Doraemon? I trusted he'd keep everyone safe and not get caught, but I had no idea where they'd hidden.
Sigh! Now I had to go searching again. I was already exhausted from finding these two.
This wasn't some video game map to run around! What happened to teaming up?
Princess Spiana and I entered the courtyard to look for clues left by Doraemon and the others.
As soon as I stepped inside, I saw the room was just as trashed as outside—like it'd been ransacked.
How was I supposed to find clues in this mess?
I groaned inwardly.
But suddenly, I spotted a wallpaper on the wall inside the room.
Oh! It was the Wallpaper House! I perked up—finally, no more running around; I could rest.
I walked up to the Wallpaper House, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Doraemon, I'm back!"
Magically, a door appeared on the wallpaper.
"Nobita, you're back!" Doraemon and the others rushed out excitedly, crowding the doorway.
I laughed helplessly. "Alright, alright, this place is a mess. Let's go inside and talk!"
"Besides, we have a guest."
That's when Doraemon and the others noticed Princess Spiana behind me.
Doraemon said awkwardly, "Please come in; let's talk inside!"
Once they cleared the way, Princess Spiana and I entered the Wallpaper House.
"Wow! Nobita, your technology is amazing, like magic!" Princess Spiana said as she looked around, amazed that such a vast space could fit inside a piece of paper.
"Your Highness, it's so good to see you safe!" Brus suddenly appeared, unable to hold back his tears of joy.
"Captain Brus, it's been a while!" Princess Spiana said with a touch of nostalgia for her long-unseen royal guard captain.
"Right, now that you're here, it's been a while since you've seen Prince Kuntakku too," Brus said, though his tone carried a hidden sadness when mentioning the prince.
"I've heard about Prince Kuntakku's situation. Has it really gotten this bad?" Princess Spiana asked worriedly.
Brus didn't say more, just suggested she go see him.
But he added, "Lord Nobita, Prince Kuntakku instructed that when you return, you should accompany Her Highness to see him!"
I was a bit surprised—did this involve me too?
But I nodded in agreement.
Before heading over, I handed Chippo to his mother. Seeing him like that, the beautiful woman looked worried all over again.
Doraemon and the others bustled around, pulling out the Doctor's Kit to examine Chippo.
With Doraemon handling things here, I felt reassured and followed Princess Spiana to the prince's side.
This Wallpaper House was surprisingly big, with different rooms inside.
When I entered the prince's room, where he lay on the sickbed, his first words were: "Nobita, can you take good care of Princess Spiana for me?"
