Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Tianyi Mengxiang: "?(?–?)??"

Amane Moeka looked back and forth between the two, wondering what was going on.

"Wait a minute? Lei—you know this guy!"

Ten'i Moka asked Li Lei, who was standing to the side.

"No—it's not a acquaintance, but a clone, a clone created using Blood Demon Art."

Li Lei and Ghost Shadow replied at the same time.

Tianyi Mengxiang: "Clone?"

"Yes, a clone, a flesh and blood clone. It is a clone that I created by combining the characteristics of my Blood Demon Art, but I can only create one at the moment."

Seeing that Ten'i Moka was listening very attentively, Li Lei smiled slightly.

"Sister Moka, this clone looks a lot like me, doesn't it?"

"Huh? No, wait a minute. This clone of yours doesn't resemble you at all."

Ten'i Moka interrupted Li Lei's speech, pointing at the ghostly figure.

"Moka-nee, you've mistaken my clone for someone else. I am Rei."

As soon as Li Lei finished speaking, the ghostly figure immediately transformed back into Lei's appearance, and suddenly there were two Leis in the courtyard.

"this--!"

Ten'i Moka couldn't believe her eyes. The two Rui in front of her were exactly the same, and she couldn't tell them apart with her naked eye.

"You're so tired. Your clone technique is amazing. I can't tell which one is the clone and which one is you at all."

After carefully observing, Ten'i Moka said to Li Lei.

"Of course, Sister Moka, this is one of the most powerful Blood Demon Techniques I've developed in the past ten years."

Lei said proudly. Then, he retracted his clone into his body.

Seeing the two Rui merge into one, becoming one Rui, Ten'i Moka felt that the way Rui retracted his clones was very strange.

However, what Tianyi Moka finds even stranger now is who Li Lei was impersonating just now. She has never seen him before, but it seems like she has.

"Sister Mengxiang, why are you staring at my face? Is there anything dirty on my face? My face should be very clean."

Li Lei touched his face with both hands and asked Tianyi Mengxiang.

"I'm tired. I didn't say your face was dirty. I was just wondering who you were when you transformed into someone."

Amane Moe explained.

"Oh—Moka-nee, you mean him?"

"He is my past life, Moka-nee."

Li Lei said this to Tianyi Mengxiang in a joking manner.

Yes, the face Li Lei just used was the face he had before he transmigrated; it was just slightly modified when he changed his face.

"Past life? Impossible. How could anyone remember their past life? What you're saying is too unbelievable."

Ten'i Moeka shook her head.

"It's true, it's true, Sister Mengxiang. What I said is all true. And there are people who can see the memories of their ancestors from hundreds of years ago through bloodlines."

Li Lei recounted the story to Tianyi Mengxiang.

"Alright, alright, it's no use whether what you're saying is true or false. Let's talk about something else."

"Alright! Since Moka-nee doesn't like this topic, let's change it."

Li Lei originally wanted to tell Tianyi Mengxiang some secrets he knew, but when he found that Tianyi Mengxiang didn't believe him, he gave up.

"By the way, Sister Mengxiang, it's been almost eleven years since we met, time really flies! Look how much the wisteria tree in front of us has grown."

Li Lei, sounding somewhat downcast, lamented to Tianyi Mengxiang how quickly time had passed.

"What's wrong? Are you tired? Is something bothering you?"

Noticing that Li Lei was in a bad mood, Tianyi Mengxiang stepped forward, took his hand, and asked him what was wrong.

Feeling the warmth from his hands, Li Lei smiled and looked up at Tianyi Mengxiang, a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Moka-nee, what do you think of me as a ghost?"

"What do you mean, does it matter if you're a ghost or not? No matter what you become in the future, you'll always be my little brother."

Ten'i Moka looked at Li Lei seriously and said...

"Yeah, I know I'm tired."

Hearing Ten'i Moka's opinion of him, he breathed a sigh of relief. But his expression immediately turned serious.

"Sister Moka, would you be willing to accept my blood turning me into a ghost?!"

Li Lei spoke of what he had been thinking about all these years.

Ten'i Moka looked at Li Lei's hopeful yet pleading eyes, and turned her head away with difficulty, not daring to meet his gaze.

"I'm tired. I haven't made up my mind yet. Can you give me some more time to think about it?"

"It's okay, it's okay, sister can think about it for as long as she wants, there's no rush to get tired."

Hearing Ten'i Moka's answer, Li Lei, who already knew the outcome, was still a little disappointed.

That makes sense; no one would willingly turn someone into a man-eating monster.

And so, the surrounding air became quiet.

"Lower Moon One, Rei, Lord Muzan needs to speak with you."

At that moment, Nakime's voice suddenly rang out in Li Lei's alternate dimension.

"Okay! I understand, Nakime."

Li Lei said to Ming Nu.

"Sister Mengxiang, I have urgent business to attend to and need to leave Spider Mountain for a few days, so I won't disturb your rest any longer."

After saying that, Li Lei pushed open the door and left before Tianyi Mengxiang could react.

Ten'i Moeka: "I'm tired. Be careful on your way there."

Watching Li Lei leave, Tianyi Mengxiang hurriedly said with concern.
