”Still?! Do you think 37 years old is an age still young? Even though you are looking like that with a baby face, there is no way you are 37 years old!” Nanami did not believe at Kogure or should I say Dr. Kogure.

”I can't blame you if you think I am younger than I appear to be but I am 37 years old. It's just my babyface that dominates the most that you can't tell I am an old individual already,” Kogure said as he showed his smug smile.

”Urgh! I am so pissed!” Nanami stomped her feet as she headed to the sofa and glared at Dr. Kogure.

”Let's ignore her for now. Anyway, why did you lie about your real age earlier? I can tell that something is wrong with you but I can't easily pinpoint it as I thought you are just a seven years old kid,” I asked Dr. Kogure about it because I am curious about it.

”Heh, it is an old trick of trickery to easily fool anyone. I don't trust you before as you have the ability to kill a person without blinking an eye. I had to be wary of you until I have reached your base and see the situation in my own very eyes. Luckily for you, it seems you have a good reputation for your actions and you can easily choose a decision to help anyone in need.”

”Huh. Are you sure that is the right words to say your praises to me? Because I don't show any mercy to my enemies.”

”I am not praising you, I am just stating the facts. As a doctor, I developed a habit of saying whatever is going on in my mind without care so if you receive a rather complimentary choice of words from my mouth about you then that means that is what I truly saw on your character.”

”Never mind, I don't care about it. Anyways, you can tell us what kind of doctor are you. We lack any kind of doctors in our side and the only ones we can call ”doctor” from everyone are the combat medics and a few surgeons that was rescued by the SDF during the beginning of the outbreak.”

Kogure adjust his glasses on the corner of his glasses and grinned as he started talking.

”The word doctor has so many definitions and the way you use them can also change the way you perceive the doctor itself. In my case, I am not officially a doctor but a scientist that is involved in medicine development and microbial experimentation.”

Hearing this, I didn't hold back and asked, ”Are you involved in Virus Galea's outbreak causing havoc all over the world?”

Dr. Kogure looked at me with a face that tells me indirecty, ”Are you mocking me?” expression. He sighed and started walking back and forth on the room.

”If I am involved in this project, I wouldn't make a mistake of releasing the virus to the public and infecting humans. For what, to increase the suffering in this world or to obliterate the humanity who is the parasite of the planet?”

”So you mean...”

”Yes. It would be a great honor to study the structure of the Galea Virus but I am not one of those people chosen to check and study the structure of the virus. I don't know what happened but I heard that the virus has been coveted by the government officials to be used as a bioweapon.”

”That's what I heard too.”

”The government bastards who were so warmongers are the one to blame for this. To use dead people to go to war, it is akin of creating disaster itself. It is one of my regrets that the virus is just created for the sake of becoming a bioweapon. Those selfish humans didn't even think of creating a cure in case things turns out of control.”

I looked at Nanami to convey the state of the research to Dr. Kogure but from the looks of it, she didn't understand my signs that she just shrugged instead.

”Do you still wanted to study the virus, doctor?” I asked.

”Heh, if I indeed study the virus, I wanted to do so to create a cure or even a vaccine to allow humanity to avoid being bitten by the infected.”

”Then you are in luck. Let's go to the temporary lab room created. I have something to show you.”
