The group ventured into the historical coliseum, where they encountered numerous parasites and armed guards. Before engaging in battle, they donned their armor, while four of them took on the parasites.
Nori Mirasata was bitten, but he kept quiet about it to avoid raising alarm; he didn't want to jeopardize his safety. The team, consisting of Yori Yagasu, Black Blazer, Sophia Cherry, Yellow Springs, and Nori Mirasata, was geared up.
As they moved deeper inside, they noticed many dead parasites strewn across the ground, blocking the exit. They had to push through to return to their base, and by the time they arrived, dusk was settling in. Nori was acting a bit off and had a disturbing smell, as if he were decomposing.
Concerned about his condition, they locked him up in their base to monitor any changes, suspecting he might be the parasite king because of his unusual abilities that seemed beyond human capability.
Despite the tests conducted, Nori didn't show signs of change. Oddly enough, he no longer emitted that rotting odor, but he still wasn't quite right. Although he insisted he was fine, his teammates remained skeptical, still wary of the possibility that he was indeed the parasite king.
