Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In a spacious room, Nakime sat quietly in the center, holding a biwa (a type of lute) in her arms. She continuously used her eye-shaped clones to observe the situation of the battlefield around her.

This job is quite leisurely. She only needs to provide support when necessary, since her own attack power isn't high among the Upper Moons. She just needs to focus on support; the other Upper Moons will take the lead in the fighting.

Unbeknownst to Narumi, three uninvited guests had secretly entered the Infinite City and were heading towards her location. Once they found her, she wouldn't have any peace, let alone a chance to survive.

On Zhu Shi's side, she and her little follower spent some time finally finding Nakime's residence, where they hid in a corner to discuss their plan for a sneak attack.

Unbeknownst to the two, Li Lei was quietly watching them from behind, like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

"Yushiro, I'll distract Nakime. You seize the opportunity to take control of her."

Having devised a plan, Zhu Shi said to Yu Shilang.

"But Lord Zhu Shi, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to do this? Let me do it."

Concerned about Zhu Shi's safety, Yushiro objected, suggesting that he should take on the dangerous task of attracting attention.

"Yushiro, you must listen to me. Your Blood Demon Art is best suited for sneak attacks, while my Blood Demon Art is better suited for attracting attention."

Zhu Shi said with a serious expression.

Hearing the change in Lord Zhu Shi's tone, Yu Shilang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Yes, Lord Zhu Shi."

After assigning tasks, Zhu Shi tore off the invisibility stickers from Yushiro on his body, making himself visible to Nakime, and then carefully approached.

Meanwhile, Yushiro continued to stealthily approach Nakime from behind.

"Who's there? Come out now!"

Upon suddenly noticing someone approaching, Nakime immediately used her Blood Demon Art to move the house in front of the hider aside, revealing a beautiful figure.

"Oh! So it's you, Zhu Shi. You traitor who betrayed Lord Muzan, how dare you come to the Infinity Castle."

"Aren't you afraid that Muzan-sama will come and eat you later?"

Nakime, never one to back down, launched into a sarcastic mode. Usually the one being mocked by demons, she was going to talk about others today, and of course, she wouldn't let Akane, who had betrayed Muzan, get away with it.

"That coward you mentioned is terribly afraid of dying and is currently undergoing detoxification; he has no time to cause me any trouble."

Faced with Nakime's sarcasm, Zhu Shi retaliated without hesitation.

"What are you so smug about! I don't even need Muzan to lift a finger. I could easily kill you now that I've just become Upper Moon Five."

Nakime spoke angrily, shouting at Tamayo.

"Ah—you've become an Upper Moon demon? It's not like Muzan couldn't find any demons and used you as a substitute, is it?" Tamayo's tone was flippant, her face full of disbelief.

"You—! You bitch, I'm going to kill you!"

"Wait, there's a strong floral scent here, where is it coming from?"

Nakime, who was in a fit of anger, was suddenly interrupted by the fragrance of flowers. Only then did Nakime notice that Tamayo's arm was bleeding, and the blood was dripping onto the ground due to gravity.

"Blood Demon Art - Bewitching Blood: The Scent of Demonic Incense in the Daytime"

At this moment, Tamayo spoke softly from her pale red lips.

"Don't try to scare me. Your Blood Demon Art is hardly effective against demons," Nakime said with some confidence.

Nakime, sensing something amiss, was unaware that Tamayo's goal had already been achieved. The demonic incense used during the day didn't need to have much effect on her; simply weakening her senses was enough.

At that moment, Yushiro, who was in stealth mode, arrived behind Nakime and seized the opportunity to strike immediately.

Yushiro instantly grabbed Nakime's head with both hands and subdued her in a matter of moments.

"Success!"

Tamayo and Yushiro were overjoyed at their successful attack. With Nakime, who possessed the Infinite Castle in another dimension, under their control, their chances of defeating Muzan had greatly increased.

"Haha, thank you both for helping me control Nakime."

A voice came from beside Yushiro, and Li Lei exited his stealth state and quietly appeared less than ten centimeters away from Yushiro.

Zhu Shi and Yu Shilang were both shocked the moment they saw Li Lei.

Zhu Shi: (?☉?☉)

Yushiro: ?(°?°)?

No! There are still people in this godforsaken place.
