Chapter 120: Monstrous
'Jeez, this Being X guy is beyond petty..." thought Vahn, frowning as he watched the scene of Tanya effectively being forced to pray against her will to avoid plummeting to her death. He was initially surprised to learn that Tanya was originally a middle-aged Japanese salaryman, but what concerned him far more was the circumstances of her reincarnation.
Seemingly, for no reason other than because she refused to believe in a God that had never done anything for her, Tanya, after being murdered by a disgruntled former employee, was reincarnated out of spite by an entity she had dubbed Being X. The god-like being specifically wished for her to suffer and ultimately beg for his clemency, so he had her reincarnate into a fantasy version of pre-war Imperial Germany. Then, because she dared to make the most of her plight and worked hard to improve her quality of life without asking for his assistance, the errant deity actively undermined her at every turn and eventually started manipulating people to provoke a global war, all to prevent her from simply living in peace. It was absolutely and utterly absurd as, more often than not, the people she was forced to kill to survive were genuine believers, sacrificed for the God they believed in simply because he wanted to teach a pragmatist a lesson...
[Shihouin Yoruichi is requesting a telepathic link]
"Hmm...?"
Pausing the anime he was watching, dubbed Youjo Senki, Vahn accepted Yoruichi's request, kicking things off by asking [What's up?].
[Oh? Still awake, are we?] asked Yoruichi, her sensual and slightly husky voice echoing within Vahn's head.
[For now] responded Vahn, closing his eyes as he asked [Did you need something?] in a casual tone.
[So cold] hummed Yoruichi, her voice even more seductive than usual as she playfully inquired [Want to grab a few drinks and chat? I promise not to stab you this time.]
Following a moment of consideration, Vahn countered [How about you come to my room, strip down, and put your lower mouth to work as we chat? I'm not overly fond of being regarded as a fool who can be easily taken advantage of by a pretty face.]
[Alright. I'll be there shortly] responded Yoruichi, leaving Vahn feeling taken aback as he didn't expect her to agree immediately. As such, he startled slightly when a knock sounded on his door moments later.
