Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In the darkness, under the moonlight, beside a small river, a giant black bear, six or seven meters tall, was using its paws to catch and eat fish!

Just as Xiao Hei was happily catching fish, a voice suddenly came from his mind.

"Hey! Little Black, are you there? Do you miss your master?"

"Who! Who's talking?"

Xiao Hei nervously looked around, trying to find the source of the sound.

Little Black, who was focused on catching fish to eat, was startled by a voice that suddenly came from his mind.

"It's me! Li Lei! Your master! It's only been a few days! You don't recognize my voice?"

Li Lei, who had just started communicating, was speechless. (~￣△￣)~

"Oh! It's Master! Master, how come you're inside Xiao Hei's head?" Xiao Hei asked Li Lei, who was communicating with him, after lowering his guard.

"Little Black! Did you catch fish and get your brain filled with water? It's only been a month or so, and you've already forgotten that your master can communicate with you through your brain!"

Li Lei was speechless at this. (′-i_-｀)

"Oh! I see! What a terrible memory I have. I completely forgot something so important! I'm so sorry, Master!"

Xiao Hei apologized to Li Lei after recalling the incident.

Through real-time communication with Xiao Hei's brain, Li Lei discovered that what Xiao Hei said was actually true!

"Sigh—! I really can't do anything with you!"

Li Lei, who was far away in the wisteria-covered courtyard, shook his head and said.

"Master, I miss you so much! When are you going to come and play with Xiao Hei? Ever since you went to that town, Xiao Hei has had a hard time even getting enough to eat."

Upon hearing this, Li Lei said:

"You clearly just want to ask me for food! With your size, I don't know how I'm going to feed you anymore!"

"Haha, how could that be, Master? Little Black won't eat much, really!"

Xiao Hei said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Please take a look at your own body size before you say that!"

Li Lei didn't even need to think about Xiao Hei's explanation; he could tell it was fake just by looking at the thoughts in Xiao Hei's mind.

"Master! Don't you want me anymore? I'm a very good girl, I'll never cause you any trouble, please don't abandon me!"

Xiao Hei said nervously to Li Lei.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly acting crazy and saying I don't want you? When did I ever say I didn't want you?"

Li Lei asked Xiao Hei in confusion. After all, he had never said those words, nor could he find any trace of them in Xiao Hei's mind.

"It's what you said, Master: you didn't know how to raise Xiao Hei. Doesn't that mean you didn't want Xiao Hei anymore?"

"Hahaha! Little Black, your comprehension skills are truly extraordinary. You even managed to misunderstand this sentence."

Li Lei was both amused and exasperated upon hearing Xiao Hei's explanation.

"Isn't that how it is? Haha! That's great! Master still wants Little Black! Little Black is so happy!"

Sensing the joy emanating from Xiao Hei, Li Lei was immediately relieved.

"You! I'm relieved you're alright. Your comprehension skills are really giving me pause!"

"Master! Is there something wrong with my comprehension?"

Hearing Li Lei's teasing, Xiao Hei asked, puzzled.

"Hmm—! It's okay! Xiao Hei, your comprehension is fine, it's just a little bit off! Hehe (▔, ▔) Hehe."

Li Lei spoke to Xiao Hei in a subtle way.

"Oh! I see! Was my comprehension a little off? Never mind!" Little Black replied, completely unconcerned.

"Uh! Whatever makes you happy!" (?–?)

Li Lei had given up hope on Xiao Hei's intelligence and decided to just let it be.

"By the way! Little Black, where are you now? Tell me quickly, I need to talk to you!"

Now that he was alright, Li Lei asked Xiao Hei for directions, intending to visit him.

“Great, Master! You’re finally coming to see me. I’m upstream on the river east of your town.”

On the eastern upstream bank of the river, Xiao Hei excitedly replied to Li Lei.

"Alright! Little Black, you wait here. I'm coming right away."

Having learned his destination, Li Lei prepared to set off.

Looking up at the quiet surroundings, Li Lei began to activate his controlled Blood Demon Art: Weight Stacking, stacking his own weight onto the earth.

He began to gather strength in his legs, tilted his body slightly to the east, and looked up at where Xiao Hei was.

With his legs fully charged, he unleashed his power in an instant, and his body flew eastward like an arrow towards where Xiao Hei was.
