The Cochrane Date

[Wolfgang Weisen]

The Deceiver felt a small tingle of kinship when Kurumi mentioned her sadistic nature. However he quickly dispelled those thoughts from his mind, as he expected to see more before he was sure that it was not just a ruse.

"As you are well aware my dear, cardamine alters our DNA and physical changes occur to our bodies."

Wolfgang's mouth twitched in an angle considered impossible by Kurumi while he paused.

"Usually those changes are minor, but I was not very fortunate in that regard. They told me that my advanced age when I first consumed cardamine might also have played a role... Anyway, most people conduct a face surgery, a simple and quick process."

Wolfgang was 49, only a year ago he first tasted cardamine. He wanted to leave it at that but then he noticed Kurumi's quizzical look and added:

"I don't have a very good relationship with doctors so I refused a surgery, Ms Saeki. Anyway... since you were pouring down your wine last time, why don't you let me pick a drink for you? A promise is a promise..."
