Reincarnation as Lower Rank Five in Demon Slayer

Chapter 114 Teaching the Butterfly Sisters Breathing Techniques

"Kanae and Shinobu, you sisters have such a good relationship, it's truly enviable."

"No, you must be embarrassed. Shinobu and I often do this; it's just normal sisterly play." Kanae smiled modestly at Li Lei.

"Oh, right, my parents are home right now. I'll go and ask them to come and meet you."

With that, Kanae turned to go inside and tell her parents about her new friend.

"No need, Kanae. It's not appropriate to tell them my identity directly. I'm mainly here to see how well you've learned the Water Breathing Technique."

Li Lei reached out and grabbed Kanae, explaining that he couldn't let too many people know for some reason.

As a ghost, Li Lei knew that he could not appear during the day except at night, lest strangers who knew of his existence find out.

It might attract the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps, or a demon might learn of your whereabouts and accidentally let Muzan or another Upper Moon see it, potentially drawing them over.

Regardless of the circumstances, this is not good for Kanae and Shinobu's family.

"Lei, is your true identity dangerous?" Kanae asked Li Lei with concern.

"Of course, sister. The legendary ninja must be from a very dangerous organization. Two-legged grasshoppers are not very old, so they must not be very strong in such a dangerous organization."

If he reveals the organization's training methods and other ninjas discover this, the ninja organization will definitely send ninjas to kill him.

Shinobu Kocho immediately preemptively expressed her opinion before Li Lei could.

Li Lei: "..."

Little girl, you have such a vivid imagination! I personally think what you said makes sense, but—reality is even stranger than you think.

"Is that really true? I'm exhausted!" Kanae looked at Li Lei with concern.

"If that's the case, I won't learn this breathing technique. It's tiring. Here's your water breathing technique, I'll return it to you now."

Kanae took out the Water Breathing Technique that Li Lei had given her from her bosom and returned it to Li Lei in front of her.

"this……?"

Li Lei looked at the booklet on the Water Breathing Technique that he had given away, pondered for a moment, and slowly reached out to take the booklet with the Water Breathing Technique written on it.

He pressed his face against the lid and flipped it open to check the contents, wanting to see if there were any strange changes.

"I'm tired. Shinobu and I have taken good care of your Water Breathing Technique manual, and it hasn't been damaged at all."

Seeing Li Lei carefully examining her face, Kanae assumed he was looking for a broken breathing technique and said nervously.

"Mmm! It smells delicious." Li Lei said, taking a deep breath.

Huh? (^_^)?(?_??)

Kanae and Shinobu Kocho were immediately filled with confusion.

"Uh, no—it's really clean." Realizing he had misspoke, Li Lei immediately corrected himself.

Kanae Riku and Shinobu Kocho:

ヾ(－－；)? ???? (?_?)

"Kanae and Shinobu, why aren't you looking at me?!"

Li Lei asked with an innocent expression.

Kanae and Shinobu were talking about something, wondering what someone had just revealed about their perverted side, and in front of them no less.

By this time, Li Lei had already left a mark on the two sisters as a pervert.

"Uh, what Kanae Shinobu said is false. It's not what you think. No ninjas will come after me."

"I have carefully checked the Water Breathing Technique manual that I gave you, Kanae and Shinobu. There are no problems with the Water Breathing Technique I wrote before, so you can study it with peace of mind."

"I happen to be quite proficient in the Water Breathing technique, so I can teach you,"

Li Lei tried to change the subject and divert attention in an attempt to dispel the strange atmosphere, but he failed.

"Okay, Ren and I have a lot of questions we need to ask you, so please take care of us." Kanae said to Li Lei with a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Hmph!" Butterfly snorted coldly, looking at Li Lei with a face full of contempt.

The rest of the time was spent amidst Kanae's awkward smile and Shinobu's disdainful gaze.

"Yes! That's it. Your breathing should correspond to your sword moves, and your breathing should be rhythmic..."

"The advantage of the Water Breathing Technique is that it is easy to learn and not difficult. Anyone who wants to learn it can learn it, just like water, which encompasses everything."

……

For the next ten days or so, Li Lei would come every night to teach the two sisters, Kanae and Shinobu, how to practice the Water Breathing Technique, and point out their shortcomings in practice so that they could correct them.

"I'm tired. Why do I feel like this Water Breathing technique doesn't quite suit me and Shinobu?"

Kanae, who was practicing the Water Breathing Technique in the courtyard late at night, asked Li Lei.

Hearing Kanae's question, Li Lei turned around and smiled. "It's normal. After all, this breathing technique wasn't created by you, so it's normal that it doesn't fit. For people with good talent, breathing techniques can actually be created by themselves."

“You and Shinobu are both very talented people. Although the Water Breathing Technique is very suitable for you, it is not a tailor-made breathing technique after all. It is normal that it does not quite match your own nature.”

"In the future, if you and Shinobu reach the bottleneck in your Water Breathing Technique, you can modify it based on your own physical advantages and create your own breathing technique that suits you."

"At that time, you will become very strong, have the ability to protect yourselves, and will not lose anything important."

Li Lei continued speaking.

"Then why don't you create your own breathing technique? Is it because you don't know how?" Shinobu asked Li Lei with a puzzled look.

“Shinobu, Water Breathing suits me very well. I just need to improve the techniques,” Li Lei replied to Shinobu with a smile.

"I told you, don't call me Shinobu. I have a name, Shinobu Kocho."

Butterfly Shinobu said to Li Lei with a displeased expression.

"Okay, Shinobu, I got it, Shinobu!" Whenever he had the chance, Li Lei started teasing Shinobu again.

"You, humph! I can't be bothered with you."

The butterfly, unable to contain her displeasure, turned away, leaving the back of her head for Li Lei to see.

"Hehe, you still love teasing Shinobu so much."

Kanae, who was watching from the side, said with a smile.

"Who told Shinobu to be so fun to tease?" Li Lei turned around and replied with a smile after hearing Kanae's words.

"Then, sister, if you see him teasing your own sister, just ignore him."

"I'm not trying to make you stop having such a long face all the time, I just want you to smile more."

Kanae raised her hand and rubbed Shinobu's little face as she spoke.

Li Lei, who was standing to the side, also wanted to reach out and gently touch Shinobu's small face, but she raised her hand to stop him.

Li Lei: (?﹏?) "Shinobu Kocho, this is discrimination against men. I have the right to ask you to put your hands down so I can rub your face."

Shinobu Kocho had never heard such an unreasonable request before, and she responded by rolling her eyes.

Despite Shinobu's disapproving glare, Li Lei pretended not to see it and stretched out his small hand again. But Shinobu blocked it once more.

Shinobu Kocho: "(╬??皿??)"

"Are you ever going to stop? If you stick your paws out again, I'll just chop it off."

Li Lei looked up to the side, indicating that his hand had its own thoughts, which were none of his business.

Kanae, who was standing next to Shinobu Kocho, watched the scene with a calm smile.

Li Lei's ordinary day passed by in such happy moments.
