The Lying Counselor’s Eloquent Reasoning - Chapter 48
“W-What do you mean by that?”
“Cosmetic surgery is not a magic that can transform anyone’s face into an ideal one. It can only slightly enlarge the eyes, raise the nose, or narrow the face. All techniques have their limits. So no matter how you tweak your face, you can never achieve this kind of alien visage in the flesh.”
Uroma flipped the laptop over again and flashed the screen at Moeka. This time, what was displayed appeared to be a selfie photo of Moeka that had just been posted. Compared to the image in the header, the eyes were even bigger, the skin whiter, and the jaw thinner and smaller, creating a more unnatural and eerie look. It certainly looked more like a Grey Alien than a human being.
“The human face is not something that can be easily altered or modified like a photograph. Although I understand that this is your ideal face, it is impossible to obtain this face through cosmetic surgery. If anything, it will ruin the balance of your face and you may end up with a terrible outcome.”
“How would I know that if I don’t try!”
“Once you’ve tried and failed, it’s too late, you know? You can never recover your original face once the scalpel has been inserted.”
“Then what should I do? Am I supposed to maintain this face forever? Plastic surgery is the only option!”
“Calm down, please. Actually, this is where the real work begins.”
Then Uroma smirked.
“This is only between you and me, it’s possible to change your face these days without resorting to cosmetic surgery. Furthermore, the physical burden is less than that of cosmetic surgery, and you can get your face reshaped naturally and in a relatively short time.”
“Really? Is that a new kind of makeup or something?”
“No, it’s not a cosmetic. This is it.”
With that, Uroma raised his right hand again. This time, he held a thin sheet of skin-colored material in his hand. Upon closer inspection, there were two holes in the shape of a face, one for the eyes and one for the mouth. Is this a…
“Is this a facial mask?”
“Yes. It’s something you apply to your face.”
Nodding to Moeka, Uroma let it unfold for a moment right in front of her face.
“It’s soaked in a special serum. Simple and easy to use. All you have to do is apply it to your face at night before going to bed or under the covers and go to sleep. Then, in the morning, you will have a beautiful face that looks completely different.”
“Eh? The facial mask will change the face? In one night?”
Moeka, not surprisingly, seemed skeptical.
“Of course, it has the same effect on the skin as a regular facial mask. It also effectively treats rough skin.”
“Seriously!”
Once she heard that it was effective for her skin, she took to it with gusto. In fact, when Tomomi observed her skin earlier, it looked rough, so she must be concerned about it. Even though it was only a facial mask, it seemed to have that kind of effect.
“I’ll buy it! How much is it?”
“Haha. Don’t be in a rush. I’m not trying to sell you a product as a minor out of the blue. Please try a one-week sample first.”
Uroma rose from his chair and approached Moeka, placing a few packs on her lap.
“Samples? Can I use this for free?”
“Yes, of course. Each person’s skin is different, so it’s best to let them test it first.”
“Is that so? Thank you very much!”
Moeka seemed to be sincerely grateful. She looked like she trusted Uroma’s words entirely…
Eventually, he concluded, “Let’s talk again in a week about your cosmetic surgery concerns,” and she left the counseling room without further ado.
“Doctor, you’re pushing that nonsense on people again. I bet it turns out to be awful if people use it, doesn’t it?”
“No, no, no. I did not lie to her. She can definitely achieve her ideal face with that pack.”
Uroma grinned as he tossed his favorite tablet into his mouth.
