Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In a small town nestled in the forest, surrounded by trees, Li Lei led everyone to sit down at a restaurant of moderate size and treated them to a meal after their long journey.

Inside the restaurant, the hungry crowd began to devour the food on the table, rewarding themselves for their hard journey.

Looking at the group eating quickly, Li Lei recalled the message from Xiao Wu: the current Water Pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji, was already chasing after them and would arrive in the town soon.

And having prepared myself, I will face him here. My water breathing, which has not improved in a long time, will also grow here. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

"Tired! What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

Ten'i Moka, who was eating nearby, saw Li Lei staring blankly and asked him a question.

"Nothing much, Sister Mengxiang. I'm just a little happy that I'll run into someone I know later."

Li Lei smiled and replied.

"acquaintance?"

Ten'i Moka asked in confusion.

Li Lei: "Yes!"

"We must treat Lei to a good meal!"

"I will."

Li Lei said with a smile.

At this moment, Ten'i Moka, who was standing beside him, had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation. The person Li Lei was about to meet was no ordinary person, but the current Mizuki Urokodaki Sakonji.

Twenty minutes later, a middle-aged man entered the forest town wearing a red tengu mask, a sky-blue haori with flowing water patterns, and a Nichirin katana for slaying demons hanging at his waist.

Following the trail left by Li Lei and his group, Urokodaki Sakonji tracked them down to the town.

"How dare this ghost brazenly walk into this small town? Isn't he afraid of being discovered?"

As Urokodaki Sakonji entered the small town nestled in the forest, a sense of unease settled in his heart.

But no matter what, we've come all this way, so how can we turn back halfway because of a few doubts?

Following the trail of the group, Urokodaki Sakonji eventually found the restaurant where Li Lei and the others were.

"Is it inside?!"

Outside the restaurant, Urokodaki Sakonji looked up at the entrance, gripped his Nichirin Blade tightly at his waist, and said solemnly.

Inside the restaurant, Li Lei suddenly looked up slightly, a smile appearing on his face.

"Is it finally here?"

A moment later, Urokodaki Sakonji, wearing a red tengu mask, strode into the store, his eyes quickly finding Li Lei's location.

Feeling the sharp gaze fixed on him, Li Lei knew without a doubt whose it was, and turned his head to return the gaze with a smile.

"Hey friend at the door, wanna grab a drink?"

Li Lei called out to Urokodaki Sakonji at the door.

Hearing Li Lei's shout, Urokodaki Sakonji tightened his grip on the sword again.

"What exactly do you want to do, you demon? What is your purpose?" Urokodaki Sakonji asked Li Lei.

What is my purpose?

Li Lei showed a surprised expression, then turned to a smile.

"Hahaha, guess!"

"you……"

Looking at Li Lei's joking expression, Urokodaki Sakonji was a little puzzled about the young demon's emotions and thoughts.

Strangely, the boy ghost in front of him showed no malice whatsoever. In fact, he could hardly sense the ghost's aura.

However, in his own perception, the boy in front of him was definitely not human.

Suddenly, Urokodaki Sakonji was startled.

"Could it be that the boy demon before me is the Upper Moon of the Twelve Demon Moons?"

Urokodaki Sakonji's gaze turned serious, his mind became extremely focused, his whole body was calm, and he held his unsheathed Nichirin Blade.

His form was as calm as the calm before a tsunami, yet it was poised to destroy everything.

"Tired! Could this person in front of me be...?"

Ten'i Moka asked Li Lei beside her.

"That's right, this is the current Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, and also the friend I was just talking about."

Li Lei answered Ten'i Moka while keeping his eyes fixed on Urokodaki Sakonji.

"Senior Water Pillar, although Rei is a demon, I guarantee he hasn't done anything wrong. Can you let him go?"

Despite the pressure, Ten'i Moka asked Urokodaki Sakonji for guidance in front of Li Lei.

"Girl, get out of the way! The evil spirit behind you is terrifying. It may be one of the twelve demon moons, or even the upper moon."

"Ah! He's one of the Twelve Demon Moons? How is that possible?!"

"Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, do you want to make a move here? If you and I were to fight here, it would be very difficult for anyone here to survive."

Li Lei smiled and said to Urokodaki Sakonji.
