...The next morning at the university felt normal....
...Too normal....
...Students laughed, classes started, and the campus buzzed with noise....
...But inside the café near campus, Suneo Honekawa sat stiffly with his laptop open....
...Dark circles were under his eyes....
...He hadn’t slept....
...On the screen were dozens of articles and underground reports about one name....
...Dekisugi Hidetoshi....
...Business genius....
...Philanthropist....
...But hidden beneath those titles…...
...Rumors of mafia operations, crime networks, and disappearances....
...Suneo slowly closed the laptop....
...“…Nobita has no idea what kind of monster noticed him.”...
...At that moment the café door opened....
...And the very person Suneo was thinking about walked in....
...Dekisugi....
...The entire café suddenly became quiet....
...Students instinctively moved away....
...Behind him walked the huge figure of Takeshi 'Gian' Goda, cracking his knuckles lazily....
...Near the door stood Shizuka Minamoto, watching everything calmly....
...Suneo slowly stood up....
...So he walked straight toward Dekisugi....
...Gian noticed immediately and grinned....
...“Well, look who came to play hero.”...
...Suneo stopped in front of Dekisugi....
...His voice was firm....
...“Stay away from Nobita.”...
...The café fell silent....
...Dekisugi calmly stirred his coffee....
...He didn’t even look at Suneo at first....
...Then he finally raised his eyes....
...Cold....
...Sharp....
...“Why?”...
...Suneo clenched his fists....
...“Because you’re dangerous.”...
...Gian laughed loudly....
...“Kid… you have guts.”...
...Dekisugi placed the cup down slowly....
...“Dangerous?”...
...His voice sounded almost curious....
...Suneo leaned closer....
...“I know who you are.”...
...That made Gian grin even wider....
...“Oh really?”...
...Suneo continued....
...“You’re not some businessman. You're mafia.”...
...A few students gasped quietly....
...But Dekisugi remained calm....
...Completely calm....
...Then he asked quietly—...
...“And?”...
...Suneo pointed toward the campus outside....
...“Nobita has nothing to do with your world.”...
...For a moment the atmosphere became heavy....
...Then Dekisugi leaned back slightly....
...His lips curved into a faint smile....
...“Yet.”...
...Suneo’s anger rose....
...“You think you can just take people like objects?”...
...Gian stepped forward....
...His massive shadow fell over Suneo....
...“Careful with your words.”...
...But Suneo didn’t move....
...“I’m not scared of you.”...
...Gian cracked his neck....
...“You should be.”...
...But Dekisugi suddenly raised a hand....
...Gian stopped immediately....
...The room went quiet again....
...Dekisugi slowly stood up....
...Then he walked closer to Suneo....
...Their eyes locked....
...Dekisugi spoke softly....
...“But you’re not the one I’m interested in.”...
...Suneo felt a chill run down his spine....
...Dekisugi’s voice lowered....
...“You’re just… in the way.”...
...Before Suneo could respond—...
...A familiar voice came from the café entrance....
...“Suneo?”...
...Both of them turned....
...Standing at the door with a confused expression was Nobita Nobi....
...He looked between them nervously....
...“What’s going on?”...
...Suneo immediately stepped toward Nobita....
...“Nothing.”...
...But Gian whispered quietly to Dekisugi with amusement....
...“Speak of the angel.”...
...Dekisugi’s eyes softened slightly when he saw Nobita....
...Completely different from the cold look he gave everyone else....
...Nobita walked closer....
...“You two know each other?”...
...Suneo quickly answered....
...“No.”...
...But Dekisugi said calmly—...
...“Yes.”...
...Suneo shot him an angry look....
...Nobita blinked in confusion....
...Dekisugi walked toward him slowly....
...And Nobita instinctively stepped back....
...Dekisugi noticed....
...His eyes darkened slightly....
...Then he said something quiet....
...But terrifying....
...“See?”...
...He glanced briefly at Suneo....
...“Even when he’s scared… he comes closer.”...
...Nobita didn’t understand....
...“S-scared?”...
...Dekisugi’s voice softened strangely....
...“Not yet.”...
...Suneo grabbed Nobita’s arm....
...“We’re leaving.”...
...But as they turned—...
...Dekisugi spoke one final sentence....
...Calm....
...Cold....
...Possessive....
...“If Nobita cries…”...
...Everyone stopped....
...Dekisugi continued quietly....
...“…the entire city will cry with him.”...
...The threat hung in the air....
...Suneo pulled Nobita away quickly....
...Nobita looked back once....
...Dekisugi was still standing there....
...Watching him....
...Not blinking....
...Not moving....
...Like a predator watching something precious....
...Beside him, Gian laughed softly....
...“You’re scaring the poor kid again.”...
...Shizuka folded her arms....
...“This obsession is becoming obvious.”...
...Dekisugi looked toward the café door where Nobita had just left....
...Then he said calmly—...
...“He’s starting to notice me.”...
...Gian smirked....
...“So what’s the next step?”...
...Dekisugi adjusted his glasses....
...His voice was quiet....
...But dangerous....
...“Soon…”...
...“…Nobita will come to me himself.”...
