...Afternoon sunlight spread across the university campus....
...Students filled the courtyard, chatting loudly and relaxing after classes....
...Near the fountain sat Nobita Nobi, nervously flipping through his notebook....
...He had a small bruise on his knee from tripping earlier....
...Again....
...Beside him sat Suneo Honekawa, watching the surroundings carefully....
...Ever since yesterday's café incident, Suneo had been on edge....
...He kept scanning the campus like someone expecting trouble....
...Nobita noticed....
...“Suneo… are you okay?”...
...Suneo forced a smile....
...“Yeah.”...
...But inside, his mind kept repeating the same warning....
...Stay away from Dekisugi....
...Suddenly, three senior students approached the bench....
...They looked amused....
...One of them snatched Nobita’s notebook....
...“Hey, clumsy guy.”...
...Nobita blinked nervously....
...“M-my notebook…”...
...The boy flipped through the pages mockingly....
...“What is this? Drawings?”...
...Nobita’s face flushed....
...“I like drawing…”...
...The group laughed....
...Another boy pushed Nobita’s shoulder lightly....
...“You’re in university and still acting like a kid?”...
...Nobita tried to take the notebook back....
...“Please give it back.”...
...But the student held it higher....
...“Make us.”...
...Suneo stood up immediately....
...“Give it back.”...
...The boy looked at Suneo and smirked....
...“Or what?”...
...Before things could escalate—...
...A shadow fell over the group....
...The laughter stopped....
...Everyone slowly turned around....
...Standing behind them was Takeshi 'Gian' Goda....
...Huge....
...Silent....
...Terrifying....
...The bullies suddenly looked nervous....
...“W-who are you?”...
...Gian didn’t answer....
...Instead he grabbed the notebook from the student’s hand effortlessly....
...Then he handed it gently to Nobita....
...“Here.”...
...Nobita blinked in surprise....
...“T-thank you…”...
...But the bullies looked angry....
...“Hey! Who do you think—”...
...One of them grabbed Gian’s shoulder....
...That was a mistake....
...In one second—...
...Gian twisted the boy’s arm and slammed him against the bench....
...The other two froze....
...The courtyard became silent....
...Students stared in shock....
...Gian’s voice was calm but deadly....
...“You touched the wrong person.”...
...The boy winced in pain....
...“L-let go!”...
...Gian tightened his grip slightly....
...The sound of the boy’s cry echoed across the courtyard....
...Nobita’s eyes widened....
...“S-stop!”...
...Gian paused....
...Then he slowly released the student....
...The three bullies quickly ran away without saying another word....
...The crowd whispered nervously....
...Nobita looked at Gian with confusion....
...“Why did you help me?”...
...Gian scratched the back of his neck casually....
...“Orders.”...
...Nobita blinked....
...“Orders?”...
...At that moment—...
...A calm voice spoke behind them....
...“Because I told him to.”...
...Nobita turned....
...And froze....
...Walking across the courtyard was Dekisugi Hidetoshi....
...Elegant....
...Composed....
...Watching everything like it had been planned....
...Suneo immediately stepped in front of Nobita....
...“You again.”...
...Dekisugi ignored Suneo....
...His gaze stayed on Nobita....
...“Are you hurt?”...
...Nobita shook his head quickly....
...“N-no…”...
...Dekisugi nodded once....
...“Good.”...
...But Nobita looked confused....
...“You told him to help me?”...
...Dekisugi stepped closer....
...“Yes.”...
...Nobita hesitated....
...“Why?”...
...Dekisugi looked down at him quietly....
...His voice lowered....
...“Because someone made you uncomfortable.”...
...Suneo frowned....
...“This isn’t your business.”...
...Dekisugi finally looked at Suneo again....
...Cold....
...Sharp....
...“Everything about him is my business.”...
...The air felt heavy again....
...Nobita shifted nervously....
...“T-that’s a little scary…”...
...For a moment, silence filled the courtyard....
...Then Dekisugi said something quietly....
...Something that made several nearby students shiver....
...> “If anyone makes Nobita cry…...
...I will erase them.”...
...Gian chuckled darkly....
...Suneo’s fists clenched....
...“You’re insane.”...
...Dekisugi adjusted his glasses calmly....
...“No.”...
...His eyes returned to Nobita....
...“Just protective.”...
...Nobita didn’t know what to say....
...His heart felt uneasy....
...There was kindness in Dekisugi’s actions…...
...But something about it felt dangerously intense....
...Dekisugi turned to leave....
...But before walking away, he said one last thing....
...“Walk home carefully tonight.”...
...Nobita blinked....
...“How do you know where I live?”...
...Dekisugi didn’t answer....
...He simply entered the black car waiting nearby....
...The car drove away slowly....
...Suneo grabbed Nobita’s arm....
...“Nobita… listen to me.”...
...“What?”...
...Suneo looked serious....
...“Stay away from him.”...
...But Nobita looked at the road where the car disappeared....
...“…He helped me.”...
...Suneo sighed....
...“That’s exactly why it’s dangerous.”...
...---...
...Meanwhile inside the moving car—...
...Gian laughed loudly....
...“Boss, you scared half the campus.”...
...Shizuka looked at Dekisugi....
...“You’re becoming careless.”...
...Dekisugi looked out the window calmly....
...At the direction of Nobita’s house....
...Then he said quietly—...
...“Soon…”...
...“…he won’t need protecting.”...
...Gian raised an eyebrow....
...“Oh?”...
...Dekisugi’s voice lowered....
...“…because he’ll be with me.”...
