Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

In the dimly lit town at night, people come and go, and beautifully dressed geishas chat idly upstairs. Downstairs, servants tirelessly tidy the rooms, awaiting the arrival of guests.

All sorts of men come and go on the street; the wealthy ones look around, searching for a suitable companion for the day.

Those who are short of money look up and gaze around, using the windows of their souls to diligently record tonight's study materials, in order to soothe their mind and body tonight.

In a corner, where the light didn't reach, a wooden door that slid open to both sides appeared out of thin air. The door opened, and Li Lei walked out.

Li Lei, who had just emerged from Nakime's alternate dimension, looked around.

"This place looks familiar; I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Faced with a somewhat familiar surrounding, Li Lei couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"The lights that stay on all night, the endless stream of pedestrians, the young ladies in kimonos seducing people upstairs—isn't this the brothel where Upper Moon Six is ​​located?!"

Suddenly remembering his current location, Li Lei in Flower Street, he felt a surge of joy.

Li Lei: ヽ(?~?)? "Oh yeah, something good is coming soon."

Although he didn't know why Muzan had summoned him to the entertainment district, he was determined to have some fun since he had finally come all this way.

By the way, let's see if we can bully the fake Upper Moon Daki for fun.

The thought of how he made Doki cry made Li Lei feel a little excited.

"hey-hey--"

However, given Gyutaro's sister complex, it would be quite a challenge for him to bully Daki.

"I'm tired. Lord Muzan is just up ahead on the street. It's not convenient for me to take you this far. You'll have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Nakime's voice came from the door that hadn't disappeared yet, explaining her inconvenience.

"Alright, I got it. This is none of your business. Go play by yourself."

Hearing Li Lei's commanding tone, Ming Nu said nothing. Instead, she silently left.

"Great, I've finally gotten rid of this little devil. I was going crazy if he hadn't left. Although I feel a little sorry for Upper Moon Six, what does it have to do with me, Nakime?"

Inside the Infinite Castle, Nakime patted her chest in relief.

In the deserted alleyways, Li Lei swaggered out and headed towards the direction where Muzan was.

On the street, a handsome young man strolled calmly. His eyes would occasionally glance at the geishas upstairs, as if trying to learn something from them.

This person was wandering around the island nation, casually replenishing his ranks with some subordinates. When he came to the geisha district and saw a geisha in a kimono, he suddenly found her interesting and wanted to take a closer look.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad, this kimono is quite beautiful, it's just that the person wearing it doesn't look so good."

Also, there are way too many "bugs" here; I really want to kill them all.

Muzan casually looked around, glancing disdainfully at the crowd. To the Demon King Muzan, the people coming and going were an eyesore.

Or rather, in Muzan's eyes, these people were not human at all.

At that moment, Muzan suddenly turned his head to look to the side, as if something had caught his attention.

Li Lei followed the direction Nakime pointed and finally found Muzan.

"It's been a long time, how are you?"

When Muzan saw Li Lei on the street, his mood immediately improved, and he went up to ask him.

"I'm fine, sir."

In response to Muzan's question, Li Lei immediately replied.

Muzan looked down at Li Lei, a question in his eyes, and frowned as he said:

"You're tired. You seem weaker than you were a year ago."

……

"Why is that? For a ghost, becoming weak is not a good thing. Haven't you eaten anyone this past year?!"

In the deserted alley, Muzan and Li Lei stood facing each other.

Faced with Muzan's question, Li Lei remained calm and composed, speaking in a steady tone.

"My lord, I learned that you are looking for a demon that can overcome sunlight, so I want to become the demon you want by having parts of my body exposed to sunlight."

Unfortunately, the method of exhaustion failed. That's why I'm so exhausted now.

"Really? Hmm, you did a good job, but this method won't work. Don't do it again."

"Yes, Lei understands," Li Lei replied.

Li Lei certainly didn't become weaker. After he was able to create clones, he left most of his body and strength at Mount Natian Spider.

"I'm tired, but I'm glad you wanted to help me. As a reward, I'll give you some more blood."

Don't let me down. Strive to become the Upper Moon!

Muzan's right index fingernail grew long and sharp, and he pierced directly into Li Lei's heart.

With the infusion of Muzan's blood, Li Lei's power began to surge, and soon the power of this body reached 70% of what it was before Li Lei separated his flesh and blood from his body.

Feeling a surge of power coursing through his body, Li Lei was in high spirits. "Great," he thought, "I've gained power again for nothing."

happy)????

Seeing the smile on Li Lei's face, Muzan immediately assumed that Li Lei was happy because his power had been restored.
