"Ahhh! She's here! She's here!!"
Suneo screamed, trembling on the floor, pointing at Sadako in disbelief.
"What's there to be scared of?! I've fought plenty of monsters! What makes her any different?!"
Gian shouted back boldly, brimming with bravado.
"That's right! This is not the time to be afraid!"
Dorami quickly took out several solidification lights and tossed them to the others.
Without hesitation, everyone coordinated and aimed the solidification lights at the approaching Sadakos!
Then they concentrated their firepower on the giant Sadako.
But the solidification lights were useless against her. All they did was cause minor discomfort.
The giant Sadako let out a chilling, eerie shriek.
Then, with a roar, she released a massive swarm of black hair, lashing toward Dorami and the others.
"Shrink Ray!"
"Reflective Cape!"
Dorami immediately pulled out the Shrink Ray and the Reflective Cape.
Activating both at once, she shrank the incoming hair and flicked them away using the cape.
"Damn it! What do we do? This giant Sadako is tough."
Nobita struggled to sit up despite his exhaustion, glaring at the massive Sadako as he racked his brain for a way to deal with her.
"Even if we can't destroy her, we have to drive her away. But she can travel between spaces—how do we stop that?"
He brainstormed rapidly, desperately searching for a countermeasure.
And finally, he got an idea.
"I'll have to bet everything on this!"
Nobita dove into the four-dimensional pocket and pulled out a roll of tape.
"Horizon Tape!"
He immediately stretched the tape across the edges of the living room.
In an instant, the back of the living room transformed into a vast, boundless world!
"What the heck is that?!"
Gian stared in shock.
"This is the Horizon Tape! It opens up an infinite horizon space! We just have to lure Sadako in there!"
Nobita shouted and was the first to dash into the endless expanse.
The others didn't fully understand, but they chose to trust him and followed.
Seeing this, the giant Sadako immediately chased after them and entered the boundless space as well.
Seeing her fall for it, Nobita's heart leapt in triumph.
"Alright! Now we run back!"
He called out.
"AHHHHHHH!!"
Just then, the giant Sadako let out a spine-chilling sonic scream.
It was deafeningly sharp and painful.
Everyone clutched their ears in agony.
Taking advantage of the moment, the giant Sadako extended all her hair, capturing everyone and pulling them in front of her.
At that moment, they saw her face clearly for the first time.
It was that of a woman—deathly pale, eyes entirely black, filled with overwhelming negative emotions. Her appearance was horrifying.
"Ahhh! Dorami! Use a gadget, quick!!"
Gian screamed frantically.
"I can't! My arms are tied! I can't reach the pocket!"
Dorami shook her head. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't move enough to reach her pocket.
"We're doomed! We're totally doomed! Moooooom!!"
Suneo bawled in despair.
Shizuka was also in tears.
"Damn it… I can't give up like this…"
Even now, Nobita hadn't lost hope.
With all his remaining strength, he finally managed to grip the wand strapped to his waist.
"One more time—Expecto Patronum!"
Even while bound, Nobita cast the spell!
A blinding light surged through the hair binding him!
The giant Sadako recoiled in discomfort and quickly released Nobita.
The white cat once again sprang forth and pounced toward the giant Sadako's face!
Immediately, she let out another groan of pain and instinctively released the others as well.
Everyone dropped to the ground with a thud.
"Eh?! What is that!?"
Shizuka stared in surprise at the glowing white cat.
"That's the Patronus I summoned! Come on, let's go!"
Nobita explained quickly and led the charge back toward the house.
With the giant Sadako now tangled with the white cat, she couldn't spare attention for them.
The cat moved swiftly, dodging every whip of hair.
Again and again, it struck the giant Sadako in the face.
The white cat radiated an intense aura of positive energy.
To the giant Sadako, it was like poison—her natural nemesis.
Frustration and wrath swelled in her.
"AAAAAHHH!!"
Finally, as the cat neared her again, she let out a powerful sonic scream.
The white cat shattered into countless fragments of light.
The moment it vanished, she turned around and saw Nobita and the others running back toward their house.
Without hesitation, she gave chase.
Meanwhile, back at the house, more Sadakos emerged once again.
Gian and the others attacked immediately with solidification lights.
Nobita grabbed the tape.
"Go stay in that horizon world forever!!"
He yanked the tape away and shouted toward the giant Sadako.
The moment the tape was removed—
The connection between the infinite space and the real world was severed.
The giant Sadako, just about to enter Nobita's house, lunged—
But fell through empty air.
She blinked, now surrounded on all sides by a boundless white expanse.
Inside Nobita's house—
The once-aggressive Sadakos suddenly froze in place.
Then their bodies began to spark and disintegrate into static-like black specks.
Just like television snow.
One by one, they vanished.
"Eh? Eh?!"
Everyone stared in shock.
"What just happened?" Suneo asked, puzzled.
"It must be because the giant Sadako was sealed inside the horizon space! These Sadakos were connected to her!"
Nobita guessed, elated.
"You mean… without her power reaching here, the others can't sustain themselves?"
Dorami analyzed.
"No matter what the reason is—WE'RE FREE!!"
Suneo shouted with pure joy.
"Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!!"
Everyone cheered loudly, celebrating their hard-won victory.
"Ah, wait… what about the Sadako curse? Is it still affecting us?"
Shizuka suddenly asked, worried.
"No problem! I'll fix it with the Lie-to-Truth Mouth!"
Dorami immediately pulled it out, put it on, and declared that everyone would no longer be affected by Sadako's curse.
"Oh, and don't worry—none of your constitutions will be more prone to seeing ghosts."
Dorami added, then put the gadget away.
"Huh? What does that mean?"
Gian blinked, confused.
"I heard that people who have seen ghosts tend to become more sensitive to paranormal things afterward. So I used the Lie-to-Truth Mouth to reset your constitutions."
Dorami explained with a smile.
