Inner Quest

To dissipate the steam ice, see an orange-haired manstanding between of Kazuma and Daisuke

“This time you exceeded kazuma” said the orange hair man seriously looking at Kazuma.

“And you’re nosy as always, captain Ryoga” kazuma responds

"He's in a coma right now, but his wounds have been treated," Ryoga said. "What's more worrying now is the rapidly spreading hollow virus that is infecting his internal spirit body."

Does that mean he's turning into a hollow?" Atsuya asked in fright. Ryoga and Kazuma said nothing, but their faces gave Atsuya his answer.

At this moment, Daisuke was lost in a haze of memories. Images of his mother flashed before his eyes.

Mother, mother, where are you?" Daisuke asked. "And where am I? Help me mother! I feel so lonely!" He ran down an endless pathway, towards what appeared to be a light. But when he broke through the light he found to his horror that he was back inside the body of a parakeet, trapped inside a labyrinth.

YOUR MOTHER IS GONE LITTLE BOY, BUT I CAN BRING HER BACK," a horrible voice taunted him. "ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO RUN FROM ME. RUN FROM ME FOR THREE MONTHS AND I SHALL REVIVE YOUR MOTHER FROM THE DEAD."

"No, that's a lie. My mother is dead! She can never be brought back!" Daisuke screamed.

"OH REALLY? THEN WHO DO WE HAVE HERE?" the creature waved its hands and suddenly a grotesque, disfigured form of Daisuke's mother appeared before him.

"Hello Daisuke-kun. It's nice to see you again. Do you want to join me? Here, take my hand," Daisuke's mother spoke to him in a demonic voice. When Daisuke felt her hand, a strange substance immediately started to consume his body.

Mother, what is happening to me? Mother!" Daisuke screamed in horror as he was completely overwhelmed...

"NO!" Daisuke shouted. It took him ten seconds to realize he had been trapped in a horrible nightmare. It took ten more seconds to notice that he wasn't in his room.

"Daisuke-kun, you're awake at last!" Atsuya and Kimikio exclaimed.

"Kimiko-san, Atsuya-san, where am I?" Daisuke asked.
