After dinner, the three, whose lazy dog physiques were in full play, lay in the living room watching anime.
Hiroshi was too engrossed and didn't notice the fluffy sensation in his palm gradually disappearing.
Coal Ball, who had been lying on his lap, secretly slipped away, jumped up the steps, and entered Nobi Nobita's room to do something big.
She stared at the satellite instrument, her expression becoming serious, and manipulated it with her paws.
Clever as she was, she had long ago memorized the blue raccoon's operation method. Her pink tongue was about to pop out, and she proudly raised her head.
Moving the satellite's shooting location, the machine quickly spat out a large pile of photos.
"Woof!"
Clutching the photos, Coal Ball, with her two pigtails like lightning, ran back to the master bedroom and gently tugged at her owner's clothes.
"What's wrong, Coal Ball?"
Noticing the movement, Nobi Hiroshi turned his head, looking at Coal Ball with a puzzled expression.
He took the photos from her mouth, and his eyes immediately lit up. There seemed to be some strange building deep in the jungle!
"What is this? An open space in the center of the jungle?!" Doraemon leaned his head over, also looking utterly shocked.
The photo only showed a bird's-eye view of a stone, its front completely invisible, but it could be estimated that this thing was mostly not naturally formed.
"I've got it, this is when we need..."
Doraemon pulled out a six-sided camera from his Four-Dimensional Pocket. After taking the picture, the six-sided camera ejected new, all-around photos.
"Mysterious Giant—phew, it's a giant dog statue!"
"Could it be that this is the Great Demonic Realm!"
Nobi Hiroshi paced back and forth in thought, then walked to the bookshelf on the second floor, rummaging for the brand new, unopened books that Daisuke had left for Nobita in the human world.
After consulting the material, Nobi Hiroshi excitedly said to Doraemon and Nobita: "Found it! This is the Old Smoker's Jungle!"
"What's that?" Nobi Nobita asked, tapping his forehead.
"It's a part of the jungle in central Africa. Because the sky is covered by clouds all year round, satellites can't photograph the actual situation," Nobi Hiroshi said, resting his hand on his chin, slowly reading out the description from the book.
"I see! Because my satellite isn't affected by clouds, I was able to photograph this thing!" Doraemon excitedly clapped his two small round hands together. Without fingers, it was unclear if it was fist to fist or fist to palm.
"Hahaha, I knew it, there must be a Great Demonic Realm in this world."
"Hurry and tell everyone this news!"
Nobi Nobita roared to the sky and rushed down the stairs impatiently.
And, if nothing unexpected happened, an accident was about to occur.
"Ah!!!"
A violent crashing sound echoed in the stairwell. Nobita, carried away by his excitement, stumbled and rolled down the stairs, scrambling to the entrance to make a call.
"Woof woof woof!!!"
Coal Ball's front paws landed on Nobi Hiroshi's thigh, barking a few times, her tongue excitedly hanging out.
"Coal Ball, you want to go too?"
"Hmm, it's not impossible, after all, this is all thanks to you."
"But... come here first..."
Nobi Hiroshi squatted down, stroked Coal Ball's head, and carried her back to the room for an interrogation.
He took out his treasured monster girl book and opened it to the page with the monster dog girl.
"Coal Ball, you're so smart, I can't help but be suspicious."
"So, transform!"
Pointing at the lewdly illustrated dog girl book, Nobi Hiroshi urged Coal Ball to transform into a dog girl.
In his previous world, this would have been unthinkable, but in this world, nothing was impossible.
An excited heart, trembling hands.
Staring at Coal Ball with full anticipation, Nobi Hiroshi rubbed his fists, hoping for that transcendent holy light to appear.
"Woof..."
Coal Ball, having seen the book, took a few steps back, her eyes containing a hint of shame and anger. The image of being filled with milk terrified her.
She behaved like a little girl whose secret had been exposed, her heart filled with panic.
"Transform quickly! Why aren't you transforming?"
Observing Coal Ball's reaction, Nobi Hiroshi felt his deduction was increasingly sound.
Can ordinary dogs understand such books? And she's showing a shy expression, she's definitely a little dog girl!
However, was his current behavior too eager for success?
Hmm, it seemed to be the case.
Coming in strong, throwing out a book about a dog girl being 'fried', even if she understood, she'd be scared, let alone transform.
It seemed that turning her into a girl needed to be a long-term plan.
...
...
Fifteen minutes later, everyone had gathered in the open space. Hiroshi had wanted to bring the Saint Son along, but due to his physical condition, he had to give up.
Xiao Fu and Gian, that pair of buddies, had smiles plastered all over their faces, laughing like Shook and Beta.
"I knew it, you'd agree to do it. You truly are my bosom friend."
Gian's old habit flared up again; anyone who helped him was a bosom friend. Nobi Hiroshi rolled his eyes at him and walked over to Shizuka's side.
After continuous watering day and night, Tian Mei seemed even more beautiful, still wearing the same black slim-fit tank top from the morning.
"Hiroshi, when did you get this little dog? She's so cute!" Seeing a cute creature, Tian Mei immediately lost her resistance and haphazardly rubbed Coal Ball's head.
"I just adopted her today; I saw that she was very spiritual, so I brought her along."
"Oh, is that so? What's her name?"
"Coal Ball."
"Pfft, what a strange name."
"What's so strange about it? If you had seen her for the first time, you wouldn't be surprised."
Nobi Hiroshi replied as usual, playing with the pure white fur.
"Woof~"
Coal Ball enjoyed the petting while looking at Hiroshi. She was a bit confused. Why didn't he let that bespectacled boy touch her before, but now she could be played with freely?
"Sniff sniff~~"
Her ponytail trembled. Through her keen sense of smell, Coal Ball seemed to understand something, and her limp tail stiffened and perked up.
There was a strong scent on the girl in front of her, originating from the young man who took her in; their scents were both very strong.
She even smelled the fishy scent of heather, hidden in the dress.
"Everyone, the place we are going to is the land where the most ancient humans originated, also known as the African continent. Since ancient times, it has never cleared up. In the depths of the jungle shrouded in mist, mysterious giant stone statues stand tall!"
Taking out the anywhere door, Doraemon first delivered an impassioned explanation to set the mood, and also to remind everyone to pay attention to safety.
After all, it was a completely unfamiliar place, and no one knew what dangers lay ahead.
"Alright, let's get going!"
Fat Tiger urged, full of energy.
"Fat Tiger, don't be in such a hurry."
Doraemon unhurriedly took out a hat and put it on his head, adding a touch of adventure to the atmosphere, then opened the anywhere door.
It would be too boring to arrive directly at the destination, so Doraemon suggested adjusting the anywhere door's teleportation location to a hundred kilometers away from the destination.
Exploring on their own two feet would be more fun. Everyone readily agreed and passed through the anywhere door in an orderly fashion, arriving on the African continent.
