...Night slowly covered the city....
...Street lights flickered on one by one, and the air became quieter as people returned home....
...Along the peaceful road walked Nobita Nobi....
...A small bag hung from his shoulder while he hummed softly to himself....
...He had just left the library....
...Typical Nobita....
...Clumsy....
...Soft....
...Completely unaware of danger....
...But tonight…...
...Something felt strange....
...Nobita stopped walking....
...He looked behind him....
...Empty street....
...“…Strange,” he whispered....
...He shrugged it off and continued walking....
...But far away, in the shadows across the street, a black car waited silently....
...Inside the car sat Dekisugi Hidetoshi....
...His calm eyes followed Nobita’s small figure walking under the street lights....
...Beside him sat Takeshi 'Gian' Goda, arms crossed and clearly amused....
...“You’ve been doing this every night now,” Gian said....
...Dekisugi didn’t answer....
...He simply watched Nobita....
...“How long are you planning to stare?” Gian teased....
...Dekisugi spoke quietly....
...“He walks alone every night.”...
...“So?”...
...“Too easy.”...
...Gian smirked....
...“Ohhh.”...
...Now he understood....
...From the back seat, Shizuka Minamoto looked up from her tablet....
...“You’re planning something.”...
...Dekisugi didn’t deny it....
...Instead he asked calmly,...
...“Did you investigate his friends?”...
...Shizuka nodded....
...“His closest friend is Suneo Honekawa.”...
...Gian chuckled....
...“That kid who tried to protect him?”...
...Shizuka continued....
...“Very loyal to Nobita.”...
...Dekisugi leaned back slightly....
...His fingers tapped slowly on the leather seat....
...“Then he’s a problem.”...
...---...
...Meanwhile...
...Across town, inside a small café....
...Suneo sat at a table with a laptop open....
...He was researching something....
...And the more he read—...
...The more his face became serious....
...“Dekisugi…”...
...He whispered the name quietly....
...Articles about powerful businessmen....
...Underground rumors....
...Crime connections....
...Missing people....
...Suneo’s hands clenched....
...“…What does someone like him want with Nobita?”...
...---...
...Back on the street...
...Nobita kept walking....
...But suddenly—...
...A car passed slowly beside him....
...The same black car....
...Nobita didn’t notice....
...But inside the car, Dekisugi watched carefully....
...Every step....
...Every movement....
...Every little expression....
...Gian leaned forward slightly....
...“You know,” he said casually, “if you want him, we can just take him.”...
...Dekisugi’s eyes remained on Nobita....
...“No.”...
...“Why not?”...
...Dekisugi spoke calmly....
...“Fear grows better slowly.”...
...Gian grinned....
...“Boss… that’s cruel.”...
...Shizuka sighed softly....
...“You’re really becoming obsessed.”...
...Dekisugi didn’t deny it....
...Instead he opened the car door....
...And stepped outside....
...---...
...Nobita’s POV...
...Nobita turned the corner toward his street....
...And suddenly—...
...A tall figure appeared in front of him....
...Nobita froze....
...“…You?”...
...It was Dekisugi....
...The same man from the university....
...Nobita nervously adjusted his glasses....
...“Um… hello.”...
...Dekisugi stood calmly with his hands in his pockets....
...Like he had been waiting....
...Which he had....
...“Walking alone again,” he said quietly....
...Nobita scratched his head awkwardly....
...“I like night walks.”...
...Dekisugi stepped closer....
...Nobita instinctively stepped back....
...Something about this man made his heart beat faster....
...Not in a good way....
...Dekisugi looked down at him....
...Studying him....
...Like someone studying a fragile object....
...Then he said slowly—...
...“Tell me something.”...
...Nobita blinked....
...“W-what?”...
...Dekisugi leaned slightly closer....
...Close enough that Nobita could feel the intensity of his gaze....
...His voice dropped lower....
...“Do you trust people easily?”...
...Nobita thought for a moment....
...Then nodded honestly....
...“I think most people are good.”...
...Behind Dekisugi, Gian almost burst out laughing....
...Dekisugi remained silent for a few seconds....
...Then something dark appeared in his eyes....
...He said quietly—...
...“Then you’re very easy to steal.”...
...Nobita froze....
...“…What?”...
...Dekisugi straightened....
...He adjusted his glasses calmly....
...Then said something that sent a strange chill through Nobita’s spine....
...His voice was quiet....
...Possessive....
...Almost like a promise....
...> “One day, Nobita…...
...you’ll say my name in fear, in happiness…...
...or in love.”...
...Nobita stared at him in confusion....
...He didn’t understand the meaning....
...But something about those words felt dangerous....
...Before Nobita could respond—...
...Dekisugi turned and walked away....
...The black car door opened....
...Gian laughed loudly as Dekisugi got in....
...“That was creepy even for you, boss.”...
...Shizuka shook her head....
...“This obsession will cause trouble.”...
...Dekisugi looked through the car window one last time....
...At Nobita standing under the street light....
...Small....
...Fragile....
...Perfect....
...Then he said quietly—...
...“Trouble already started.”...
...---...
...Meanwhile far away—...
...Suneo stared at his laptop screen....
...His eyes wide....
...“…Mafia?”...
...He looked up immediately....
...“Nobita…”...
...For the first time, real fear appeared on his face....
...“You’re in danger.”...
