Regret creating it...
Back then, the great Ma could say he regretted creating Wanda. Now, Sogo Doma could also say that he regretted founding the [Oolong Tea Research Club]!
Of course, there was a reason for that! If it had not been to get Mashiro a live model, Sogo Doma would not have spent tens of millions of yen in exchange for this:
