Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Little Black, bound and lying on the ground, was puzzled.

While chatting with Li Lei, Ten'i Moka suddenly asked a question.

"I'm exhausted! Although I've never heard of or seen a demonized animal before, demons are supposed to eat people anyway, so why did you catch this demon bear?!"

Upon hearing Tianyi Mengxiang's question, Li Lei froze instantly. Looking at Xiao Hei, who was tied to the ground, he thought to himself with a hint of panic:

"Oh no! I was only thinking about bringing Xiao Hei back, I didn't think about how Xiao Hei would stay at Tianyi Mengxiang's house after he turned into a ghost!"

Looking at Li Lei's wandering eyes, Tian Yimeng sighed.

"Sigh—! It seems you haven't thought about how to deal with this captured ghost bear. ╮(﹀_﹀”)╭"

"Haha! You're so sure! Mengxiang-nee, you're overthinking it. I brought it home to keep as a pet, yes! That's right! I'll keep it as a pet!" ~(￣▽￣～)~

Li Lei explained somewhat awkwardly.

"Exhausting! This is a ghost bear! It eats people! It's not a kitten or puppy! How can you just raise it like that!"

Ten'i Moeka looked at Li Lei, who was trying to explain himself, and said with a hint of helplessness. (?_?)

"It's alright, Sister Mengxiang, I'm watching over it. Xiao Hei won't eat people! And Xiao Hei listens to me! You'll see!"

As he spoke, Li Lei stepped forward and untied Xiao Hei, who was bound by silk threads.

"Xiao Hei! Get up and sit down!" Li Lei commanded Xiao Hei, who had been untied.

Upon hearing Li Lei's command, Xiao Hei, who was lying on the ground, looked up at Li Lei and then continued to lie down.

"Hmph! I won't listen to you! Who told you to leave me outside just now?" Little Black, lying on the ground, was secretly delighted and enjoyed the joy of revenge.

Seeing that Xiao Hei was ignoring him, Li Lei looked embarrassed.

"Little Black! Be good, get up and sit down, I'll give you something good to eat later!" Li Lei squatted down, looked at Little Black who was pressed tightly against the ground, and poked him with his finger.

"Tired! It seems this ghost bear isn't listening to you at all. It's actually disobedient! Let's just kill it!"

Amane Moka, who was standing to the side, spoke up after some consideration.

"Ah—? Kill me!" Xiao Hei was shocked upon hearing this.

Li Lei was about to say something, but before he could speak, Xiao Hei, who had been lying down, sat up straight instantly.

Looking at Xiao Hei sitting up straight, Li Lei immediately smiled knowingly.

"Phew! At least I'm not as silly as before!"

Li Lei stood up and turned to look at Tianyi Mengxiang.

"Look! Sister Mengxiang. This little thing is quite obedient! This shows that it's still worth raising."

Seeing that Li Lei really wanted to raise this demon bear, Ten'i Moka could only say helplessly:

"Sigh—! Alright then! You're tired, you can keep this ghost bear as a pet. But you must keep a close eye on it! Don't let it eat people randomly!"

"Yes, yes! I will, Sister Mengxiang! I promise I won't let it hurt anyone." Li Lei nodded in reply, and Xiao Hei beside him also nodded.

Seeing the similar nodding gestures of the human and bear, a question suddenly arose in Ten'i Moeka's mind: "Could this demon bear and Rui have known each other before?"

"Moka-nee, what are you thinking about? Why are you just standing there in a daze?"

Seeing the dazed Tianyi Moka, Li Lei asked a question.

"Ah!" Ten'i Moka was startled.

"Oh dear! You almost scared your older sister!"

Ten'i Moka reached out and rubbed Li Lei's little face.

"Oh right, I'm tired! I haven't asked you yet? What's going on with this ghost bear? Why is it so small?"

"Ah! Moka-nee, didn't you know? Ghosts can shrink themselves." When asked, Li Lei forcefully removed Moka's hands from his face and answered.

"Really?" Ten'i Moeka asked curiously.

"Really! You'll see!" As he spoke, Li Lei began to shrink.

In an instant! Li Lei's body shrunk to the size of a five-year-old child.

Wow! You look so cute when you shrink!

Upon seeing all this, Tenyi Moka immediately hugged Li Lei.
