They returned to their original world.
They told that evil boss about what happened here.
After learning about it, the boss decided to take matters into his own hands.
They soon arrived once again in this beautiful, fantastical forest, aboard the wormhole-traveling machine capable of traversing time and space.
The world of "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War"
"Eh?"
"That...that worst boss..."
"Is he...is he going to that forest himself?"
"No……"
"He looks a million times more terrifying than his three henchmen."
As Fujiwara Chika looked at the oppressive behind-the-scenes boss slowly emerging from the shadows on the screen, a look of fear and worry crossed her face. She felt a chill run down her spine for the characters on the screen who had just won their victories.
"...Trouble."
"This is for real, we're in big trouble."
“There were only three of them before. Although they were well-equipped, they were not very bright and could be defeated by tactics.”
"And now, the real mastermind behind it all, possessing cross-dimensional technology that allows us to travel freely between worlds beyond our comprehension, has made his move in person."
"The gap between the two sides, whether in terms of technology, financial resources, or intelligence, is no longer the kind that can be easily bridged by familiarity with the terrain and personal skills."
"This is really the end."
For the first time, Shirogane Miyuki's usually confident face revealed a unique expression of solemnity and helplessness when faced with an absolute and overwhelming gap in strength that could not be overcome by any scheme.
"……I knew it."
"I knew things couldn't possibly end so smoothly."
"I've already completed the tutorial levels in the beginner village that give the protagonist experience points."
"Next up is the final boss, the real, invincible boss whose stats have increased tens of thousands of times, who personally descended into the fray."
"Bald Qiang and his gang... this time, they really have absolutely no chance of winning."
"Absolutely not."
Hiding in the corner, Ishigami Yu revealed an expression filled with despair. He felt that he could already see the tragic future of Bald Qiang and his friends being easily and completely wiped out by the behind-the-scenes boss who descended like a god.
"……Yes."
"That elven-like girl named Naya is very strong."
"But her strength was built on her personal martial prowess and her familiarity with the terrain."
"And what about that 'boss'?"
"What he represents is a higher-level 'technological civilization' of another dimension that we cannot even imagine."
"This is the most direct and brutal clash between the individual and civilization."
"This battle..."
"From the moment he decided to take action himself, the final outcome was already predetermined."
Kaguya Shinomiya's face revealed a cold, unbearable expression, as if she had already foreseen the inevitable, irreversible tragedy that was about to unfold.
[And in the enchanted forest.]
After rescuing Bald Qiang and the others, Naya quietly left.
[Thus, these few people embarked on a brand new adventure in this magical forest.]
However, the trees and fruits here are different from those outside.
This also led to them encountering a lot of trouble.
[And Xiao Tie, out of curiosity, mistakenly took a child who was carrying a giant beetle.]
The angry beetle chased them all the way to an orchard full of strange fruits.
Those strange fruits stuck to their bodies, making it impossible for them to break free, and they floated in mid-air.
Meanwhile, the large beetle also got stuck to the fruit.
However, it still tried its best, relentlessly, to get closer to Xiao Tie.
[This scene was witnessed by Bald Qiang.]
He then realized that the thing Xiao Tie had taken from it was the giant beetle's child, and he immediately told Xiao Tie to return it.
However, he had barely finished speaking.
They were completely enveloped by the fruit, and due to the lack of oxygen, they quickly lost consciousness.
Seeing this, Naya, who had been hiding in the shadows, immediately took out an ancient conch shell and blew a horn, successfully rescuing them.
[After waking up.]
[Bald Qiang immediately scooped up the giant beetle's son and carefully placed it on the ground.]
"Little one, you should go back now."
The little beetle glanced back at him, then quickly ran towards the big beetle.
"Finally, it's all right."
Bald Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said.
They're finally free from being hunted down.
Bear scratched his head and asked, "Then, what about the girl who saved us?"
"This way."
Just then, from behind him came Naya's voice, as beautiful as heavenly music.
She waved, signaling Bald Qiang and the others to follow her.
She led the group on an adventurous journey, and finally arrived at a beautiful flower garden brimming with life.
Xiao Tie asked, "Naya, do you know about golden antlers?"
Naya nodded and said, "I understand."
Bald Qiang immediately pressed, "Then, where exactly is it?"
Naya replied, "After the Great Deer goes to Heaven, its antlers will be placed in Deer Valley; the golden antlers are there."
"Those bad guys came for it," Xiong Da immediately said.
Naya's brow furrowed slightly: "Them?"
[Bear Two, with a determined look in his eyes, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, protecting the antlers is a bear's responsibility. With us here, no one can take them away."]
[Bear Big said with a look of satisfaction, "Hey, Bear Two, you're finally starting to look like a bear!"]
[Bear Two said with dissatisfaction, "I've always looked like a bear."]
【"Hahaha……"】
[I heard what he said.]
Everyone laughed happily.
【the next day.】
[But Bald Qiang secretly turned off Xiao Tie's computer and, alone, took the important map.]
[Because he still wanted to get his hands on the legendary golden antlers to make a fortune.]
The world of Doraemon
"Eh?"
"How could this be?"
"Uncle Bald Qiang, how come he... how come he's turned back into the same money-grubbing villain he used to be?"
"He actually went so far as to secretly take away that seemingly important golden antler, just to get rich?"
"Does he... is he really that short of money?"
Nobita looked at the bald-headed Qiang on the sky, who was once again driven by the desire for money, and showed an expression full of disappointment and confusion.
"Yeah, Nobita, this is really strange."
"Given his current relationship with that 'Chief Superintendent of Police,' who is among the most powerful in the country, and that 'Boss Li,' who is incredibly wealthy, as a close friend."
"Let alone a few million, or even tens of millions."
"Even if he were to ask them directly for hundreds of millions, or even billions, of dollars right now."
"I reckon those two would give it to him without hesitation, right?"
"He was already the least likely person in that world to be 'short of money'."
"Then why would he betray his comrades who had just fought alongside him for money and do such a sneaky and bad thing?"
Doraemon also wore a puzzled expression, completely unable to understand the logic behind Bald Qiang's behavior at this moment.
"...Could it be..."
"Could it be that Uncle Bald Qiang no longer wants to rely on others for help like before?"
Nobita, who had been puzzled all along, suddenly wore a thoughtful expression.
"He...he wants to use his own strength, honestly and fairly, to earn a large sum of money that truly belongs to him, to prove himself to everyone?"
Instead of passively accepting others' 'charity' and 'subsidies' as before?
...
The World of Boonie Bears - Security Department
"...This idiot."
"For this insignificant little gain, he once again easily went astray."
Inside the command center, the young chief inspector looked at the bald-headed Qiang on the screen, who was furtively turning off the robot and stealing the map. He wore an expression that was both helpless and somewhat angry, filled with disappointment.
"Doesn't he know that his own mind, full of imaginative ideas, is the most valuable and unique 'treasure' in the world?"
"Doesn't he know that if he were willing to ask, let alone fifty million, even fifty billion or five hundred billion, I and that Boss Li would offer it to him without hesitation?"
The chief inspector's face was filled with endless helplessness.

"...Connected to the highest level of the fiscal allocation system."
He slowly opened his mouth and gave an order to his subordinates who were already waiting beside him, an order that shocked everyone.
"Authorization code: Alpha-Zero-One".
"In the name of the highest level of 'Outstanding Contribution Award for Special Talents'."
"Immediately allocate one billion dollars from our security system's highest emergency reserve fund and transfer it to a brand new, anonymous account that can be absolutely traced by no one."
"Then, we will try every possible way to get this account and its password into the hands of Bald Qiang, who is still worried about money, in the most unintentional way."
"...Director, what's wrong...?"
His subordinates beside him wore expressions of shock and bewilderment.
"You ask me why?"
"Because of a one and only great hero who saved the world twice."
"He should no longer worry, suffer, or even go down that wrong, criminal path again for a little money or a ridiculous dream of getting rich."
"He deserves the best and richest life he can have."
"He deserves it."
"It is also what our world, which he saved, owes him."
However, on his journey, he encountered the boss and his three henchmen.
