Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In an unknown town, a street illuminated by orange lanterns on both sides is bustling with noise and people coming and going.

Strangely dressed vendors hawk their unique wares on both sides of the street, while couples in beautiful kimonos stroll by, buying their favorite items from among the many vendors, creating a lively atmosphere.

Amidst the bustling scene, there is a young man dressed in a kimono with a spiderweb print, sporting short black hair beneath which lies a delicate yet handsome face, and a Nichirin sword hanging at his waist that seems quite out of place with his appearance.

Walking alone among the crowds, followed by a large crow, about waist-high, that hopped every three steps with small leaps and every five steps with large leaps.

A boy and a large crow, one in front of the other, strolled along the brightly lit street, their strange combination standing out from the people around them.

The little girl who witnessed this scene shook her mother's hand rapidly and pointed at the little black bird behind Li Lei.

"Mommy, Mommy, look! There's a really big Mr. Crow over there!"

The mother, who was haggling with a vendor, was interrupted by her daughter's shaking and shouting. She had to turn away from the bargaining and look in the direction her daughter was pointing.

"Keiko! Aren't crows very common? What's so strange about them..."

(゜ロ゜) Wow! What a huge crow!!!

Looking at the large crow in front of her, the little girl's mother cried out in disbelief.

Seeing her mother's shocked expression, the little girl immediately said proudly:

"Mom, see, I told you, this is a very big crow!"

The surrounding crowd was drawn to the sudden shout and looked at Xiao Wu behind Li Lei.

Xiao Wu, who was following Li Lei carefree, suddenly felt the focus of so many eyes on him, and the pressure in his heart instantly became immense!

"What kind of crow is this? It's so big!"

A passerby exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes! I've never seen a crow this big in my entire life."

"Do you think this big crow was introduced from abroad?"

Upon hearing this answer, everyone agreed that it was possible.

One person in the crowd immediately shared their opinion.

I think this big crow is a new species that the government just introduced to enrich the local biodiversity.

Yeah yeah!

Everyone agreed with this explanation. After all, people know very little about countries outside of Japan.

After receiving the answers they wanted, everyone dispersed, some to parade through the streets, others to buy goods, and all went about their own business. After all, this was a crow several times larger than an ordinary crow.

It didn't keep everyone in awe for long.

Li Lei thought this was perfectly normal; after all, Xiao Wu was a crow, a very common animal in the local daily life. Even if it were several times larger, it wouldn't matter.

However, if it had been Xiao Hei who was brought into the town by Li Lei, things would not be like they are now.

Imagine a black bear that stands over six meters tall walking into a small town. Even two-story buildings look short in its presence.

What would the townspeople have thought if they had seen this?

Is it surprising?

Do not!

—It was shock!

After all, a black bear that is over six meters tall is beyond their comprehension.

At that time, the people in the town will scatter and flee, and the Demon Slayer Corps will come running at the sound.

This was not what Li Lei, who planned to spend a few days there, wanted to see. That's why he had Xiao Hei wait for him not far from the town.

"Two skewers of meatballs, please!"

Li Lei called out to the barbecue stalls along the street.

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir/madam—"

A short while later, Li Lei and Xiao Wu behind him were eating meatballs on the street.

"As expected, human food is really nothing special to me now that I'm a ghost."

Li Lei stared at the meat skewer in his hand, which had been eaten down to just one meatball.
