Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 108 An Extraordinary Day at Mount Natagumo

Under the cover of night, Li Lei ran to the tea garden in Chashu Village, a hundred miles away from Zhuzhi Mountain in Natian. Looking at the rows of lush green tea trees, Li Lei casually picked a tender green tea leaf and smelled it.

"Hmm—good tea, very fresh, a shameful place."

Li Lei's alternate dimension opened, and the tentacles inside dragged the ten unconscious Demon Slayer Corps intruders out of the alternate dimension and threw them aside.

Looking at the ten people sleeping in strange positions, Li Lei knew without a doubt that they were very healthy. He clapped his hands and prepared to go home.

Suddenly, Li Lei frowned and realized that someone had woken up. However, the person who woke up was very clever. Without knowing the current situation, the person pretended to be asleep while maintaining the same sleeping position.

If Li Lei hadn't had such strong senses, he might have actually managed to evade it.

Oikawa, lying face down on the ground, carefully remained still, afraid of being discovered by Li Lei. He had woken up while in the alternate dimension, but his keen intuition told him not to move no matter what happened.

His intuition was right. He had just woken up when he was pulled out of the strange space by red tentacles that stretched out from the fleshy wall and arrived at an unfamiliar tea garden.

Along with them, his teammates were also dragged out. Oikawa, who was pretending to be asleep, felt very strange. He had no memory of how he was captured. He was clearly waiting with his teammates for the Demon Slayer Corps' Kasugai Crow mission.

How did I get caught by a ghost so quickly? And this ghost is strange; instead of killing and eating me immediately after capturing me, it dumped me in the tea garden. Does it taste better to eat people in this place?

Despite pretending to be asleep, Oikawa's brain was racing, but he still couldn't figure out why.

At this moment, Oikawa felt the demon approaching him and immediately dared not move. After all, the demon was capable of catching him without him noticing, so its strength must be terrifying.

Oikawa:??(_ _??⌒?`つ

Now, as long as the demon doesn't move, Oikawa also plans to play dead and not move, since it's better to live a miserable life than to die.

Looking at the person pretending to be dead, Li Lei raised his hand and stroked his chin, finding it amusing. Is this how the strong see the weak, no matter what they do?

Even his desperate pretense of being asleep seemed so ridiculous and laughable to him when he knew the truth, but Li Lei felt more pathetic than anything else.

Is this the difference in power? Just like the difference in status or wealth. In the eyes of those in power, perhaps the people at the bottom aren't even considered human.

This world is truly bleak.

In the more than ten years since his rebirth in this world, Li Lei has witnessed too many unpleasant things. Human life is too cheap in this era, which Li Lei dislikes very much, but his abilities cannot change anything.

At most, if you see one thing you don't like, change that thing.

"No need to pretend to be asleep anymore. I know you're awake. The fact that you woke up so quickly after being affected by my Blood Demon Art and having your Memory Demon Eyes swapped shows that your willpower is still strong."

Upon hearing Li Lei's praise, Ji Chuan opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at Li Lei warily.

"Who are you, and why—"

Seeing the next light in Li Lei's left pupil, Oikawa immediately shut up and stopped asking questions.

As the Lower Moon One of the Twelve Demon Moons, Oikawa felt he had struck gold; he was sure to have an advantage if he were to be reincarnated. Damn it, are all the Lower Moons this active now?

I haven't even received my own mission yet, and I've already been captured by a ghost. Does this mean the waning crescent moon of the Twelve Demon Moons has already started its year-end sales push?

"Lower Moon One, you caught us but aren't in a hurry to eat us, what are you planning to do?" Oikawa asked Li Lei, suppressing his fear.

"What am I supposed to do? Of course, I'm going to get rid of you intruders who broke into my house. What else can I do? You're not to my taste, and eating you would make my stomach upset."

Upon hearing this, Oikawa was immediately puzzled. When had he intruded into the Lower Moon family's territory? He certainly didn't want to die.

However, Oikawa was surprised to hear that Lower Moon One wouldn't eat them. The Demon Slayer Corps members who had practiced breathing techniques all had their bodies trained, so shouldn't they all taste better to demons than to ordinary people?

The Lower Moon One of the Twelve Demon Moons is surprisingly picky about food, which, in Oikawa's view, is like the Demon Slayer Corps using their mouths to gnaw on demons, which is quite unbelievable.

"Oh dear—I forgot, you don't remember breaking into my house before, so you don't know what happened just now," Li Lei said to Ji Chuan, patting his head.

"But it's okay, you'll soon lose all your memories."

Oikawa: "Ah—"

Oikawa was stunned, momentarily confused about what Lower Moon One was talking about, what memories he was referring to, and whether he had forgotten anything.

"Blood Demon Art - Memory Exchange Demon Eye"

While Oikawa was distracted, Li Lei instantly made his move, grabbing his head with both hands and activating the Blood Demon Technique to alter his memories as they met eyes.

"Oh no—this is terrible!"

When Oikawa, whose head was being grabbed, looked into Li Lei's glowing red eyes, he immediately seemed to understand why he had lost his memory.

As Li Lei activated his Blood Demon Art: Memory-Changing Demon Eye, Oikawa felt a wave of dizziness and quickly closed his eyes and fell unconscious in Li Lei's gaze.

"Alright, all done, time to go home."

Li Lei, having erased his memories of waking up in Oikawa, immediately prepared to leave.

However, to avoid making a mistake, Li Lei checked the Demon Slayer team members lying on the ground one last time to see if any of them were awake. If so, he could give them a free brain cleansing technique to reduce the memory in their brains.

After a thorough examination, Li Lei found no one awake. It seemed that Ji Chuan was an isolated case. After the examination, Li Lei flew away with peace of mind.

-

On the Spider Mountain in Natian, Li Lei lay motionless in a wooden house, devoid of his usual energy, as if he were ill.

Of course, Li Lei, being a ghost, wouldn't actually get sick; he was just faking it to get a little bit of warmth and care.

"You're tired. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" Ten'i Moka asked with concern.

Amane Moka didn't know if ghosts could get sick, but Li Lei's weak appearance made her, as his older sister, feel very bad and wanted to stay by his side to take good care of him.

"Sister, my head feels a little painful. This pillow is so hard, it's not comfortable at all for my head to be on it."

Li Lei lay on the bed and spoke to Tianyi Mengxiang in a weak voice.

"You're tired? Then let me get you a softer one."

As she was saying this, Ten'i Moka was about to get up to get a softer pillow, but Li Lei stopped her with his hand as soon as she stood up.

"Moka-nee, you forgot that I'm already the softest pillow on Mount Natagumo."

"I'm tired, what should I do?"

Ten'i Moka looked at Li Lei with heartache and said.

"Sister Mengxiang, I heard that girls' thighs are softer than regular pillows and are very comfortable to lean on. Can you let me try it and see if it can relieve my headache?"

Upon hearing Li Lei's request, Tianyi Mengxiang's beautiful face flushed instantly.

"To make my tired head feel a little better, well—okay."

Seeing the tired but expectant look in her eyes, Ten'i Moka blushed and answered softly.
