(It's that time of year again to come up with an awkward name. Let my chuunibyou spirit burn brightly!)
"It seems I need to name you again... From now on, I will bestow upon you new names—you will be the Shadow Knight, and you will be the Light Angel."
Looking at his two seemingly impressive underlings, Chang Yan nodded with satisfaction.
At least it looks high-class when you pull it out.
Wait a minute, how am I supposed to get them back...?
After thinking about it carefully, Chang Yan suddenly realized that these two creatures were essentially undead. They didn't need oxygen, food, water, sunlight, or rest, and they didn't complain. They just worked silently. In short, the undead were truly the primary productive force!
Ahem, I misspoke my line.
In other words, can I just put them directly into the pocket space I temporarily created?
As the saying goes, he pulled out a spatial equipment that he only had once. Don't underestimate this; in other novels, everyone has one, but here it's a truly rare find.
(Although I wrote this only for convenience.)
"Like this, and like this again, and like this again... Okay, I'm really a little genius."
Looking at the transformed bag, Chang Yanhao shamelessly praised himself before squeezing it to burst.
&&%*%@——
With a strange incantation, the shattered space attached itself to Chang Yan's hand, forming a stable pocket space.
After putting his two underlings inside, Chang Yan activated the privilege of the Holy Son and replaced the 'holy one' closest to his home.
Chapter 226 What can you do with unlimited stamina? Even working for a whole day and night isn't enough!
(Looks like I have to have classes on Saturdays and Sundays, dead fish eyes)

“You are—ah, my lord above, may I ask your name, Your Excellency.”
In a church, a priest noticed some commotion and quickly came over with his Bible to investigate. What he saw was as if the Son of God had descended. He immediately bowed his head in reverence and asked in a low voice.
Boundless holy light enveloped the sacred and magnificent figure, and the throbbing sensation from the depths of his soul left the priest with no doubt about the visitor's identity.
"I see. Every time I activate this privilege, the replaced deity is directly usurped by me."
What kind of holy son is this? He's clearly a usurper.
Saints who usurp God's power.
If this usurpation continues without end, and the concept of "sacred" is endlessly plundered by me, then in the end, will "I" be God, or will "God" be God?
Ah, I almost forgot, the god of this world, that is, God, is long dead.
In other words, those things are ownerless, right?
So, it shouldn't be a problem for me, the holy son, to help the deceased god sort through his belongings, right?
Hehehe...
Hehehehehe!
Although he is a villainous boss who often appears in various novels, a piece of trash who is dead and has a lot of prestige, and a fool with no leadership who can only create angels and even created a traitor, he can still be considered a god for the time being.
Let me step over everything you have and climb to the highest "seat", hahahahaha!
"Sir, what's wrong?"
The priest's cautious and concerned words pulled Chang Yan back to reality. Looking at the priest in front of him, who was full of piety and worry, Chang Yan smiled.
"Ah, it's alright. I was just thinking about something that made me so happy. Now that I have returned, it means that this is the guidance of heaven. Come, accept this—my blessing."
"Ah ah~—this is the Lord's mercy!!!! Preacher of Calamity, pay homage to my Lord."
“Very well, then I will leave my two apostles here for the time being. You will continue to stay here and await my orders.”
"Your will."
The priest knelt on the ground in a frenzy, while the Shadow Knight and the Light Angel also bowed their heads to show their respect.
After Chang Yan left, the church doors opened again, and two girls in white robes walked in and greeted the priest. The priest responded with a smile and brought out the prepared food.
Father, something seems off.
One of the blonde girls with twin tails seemed a little odd, but I quickly dismissed the thought.
Sigh, I never imagined Issei would become a demon, and there's even a beautiful girl living in his house... What should I do...?
------
"Ding-dong-"
"coming!"
"Yo, Kiyohime, I'm back."
"Master Changyan... welcome back!"
"Here, this is a gift."
As the saying goes, a contract has been handed over—a warning to family members.
Kiyohime seemed a little off when she saw the ring.
"Although I feel like it's a bit early to give it to you, I think it's better to bring back some gifts after going on a long trip... Hey, Kiyohime, what's wrong? Why is your face so red and you're panting?"
"Lord Changyan... I... I can't hold back anymore! I, Kiyohime, am so moved!!!! Come, Lord Changyan, let's forget everything and become the Adam and Eve of the new world! Haa, haa, haa!!!"
"Wait a minute! Whoa, Kiyohime, when did you become so strong? Wait—let me close the door first!"
Seeing Kiyohime, who was already completely red-faced, panting heavily, and in a state of berserk EX++++++++++, Changyan tried his best but could only hold on for a second before being forcibly dragged into the room and thrown onto the bed.
"Wait, wait a minute—"
"I can't hold back anymore, Kiyohime! I'm now an even more beastly mother beast than Tamamo Neko!"
"Ya, Ya Mei Die!"
Then, the two arcane golems, one shadow orb, and one eternal sentinel inside the house listened silently to the strange sounds for a day and two nights.
(It is common knowledge that he comes back at night.)
------
"Oh, Changyan, you're back! I heard you went to your sister's engagement?"
"Oh yes, I only stayed for a few days before coming back. By the way, these are some local specialties I brought back."
"Thanks. Oh, by the way, Changyan, you know what? Zifeng is back from England. And she's a church warrior now. Although she greeted me with a big smile, her companions seemed pretty intimidating... And now, I don't know how to get along with her... We used to play together so well when we were kids..."
Hyoudou Issei looked troubled, and only then did Souyan realize that this was the plot of The Holy Sword Master.
By the way, just a reminder, as mentioned earlier, Chang Yan and Hyoudou Issei had a good relationship since childhood.
As childhood playmates, Chang Yan and Irina Zifang also knew each other.
However, it should be noted here that—
When Irina Shito was a child, she liked Issei Hyoudou. She even secretly kissed him while he was sleeping, and they exchanged their first kisses!
Although in theory Hyoudou Issei was forcibly kissed, it still feels like he got a great deal.
Damn it, why was I so unpopular when I was a kid? All I got were friend cards and "nice guy" cards!
Because her father's organization was involved in demon-related incidents and had to evacuate, she moved to England with her family. She was trained as a church warrior at the Protestant headquarters, possessing a strong faith but lacking common sense. After being injected with the Holy Swordsman Factor, she gained the ability to wield the Holy Sword and obtained the right to use one of the seven King's Swords, a simulated version of the Holy Sword.
“Um (⊙o⊙)…...... I think you should talk to your minister about this. After all, this is the place under your minister's management. The church must have something to say if they send people here.”
"Yeah, how come I didn't think of that?"
As soon as Hyoudou Issei rushed out the door, a fist was pressed against his forehead, and he was pushed back into the classroom step by step.
Hiratsuka Shizuka walked in with a big smile on her face, but behind her was a thick aura of darkness.
"Hyoudou Issei-kun? Are you planning to skip my class?"
"No, I wouldn't dare, I... I just suddenly went to the next restroom."
"really?"
"Really, really, teacher, how could I dare not skip your class? Haha."
Seeing Hyoudou Issei's forced smile, Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei finally lowered her fist.
"Alright, go if you need to. Remember to tell me earlier next time you need something."
"Hi!"
Chapter 227 I'm not some kind of demon!
(Today's art appreciation class, which was also a music class, almost made me die laughing.)
(Teacher: After listening to this piece of music, can you tell what instruments are playing?)
(A student: Drum.)
(Teacher: How could it be the sound of a drum? What kind of drum could produce such a sound?)
(A student: A rattle drum!)
(teacher:......)
(By the way, there seemed to be some plot holes in yesterday's episode. Rias had a bad feeling last night and teleported to Issei Hyoudou's house to check on things. She even seemed to do some fan service. Since there were other people around, I skipped through it. After all, there are too many fan service scenes in anime like High School DxD. I'm really sorry (。?＿?。)? I'm sorry~)
--------
After school, in Rias's club, two girls dressed in white robes were facing Rias and making their demands.
The gist of it is that those shameless bastards of the fallen angels stole three of the eight holy swords we specially crafted using alchemy. Now, the two of us are here with the holy swords to reclaim them, and we hope that you demons will not interfere, otherwise, regardless of whether you are the Demon King's sister or not, we will cut you down as well.
Although it may seem exaggerated, it is the truth.
After Rias agreed, just as the two were about to leave, they recognized Aisha, the former saintess. Xenovia's words caused Aisha to have a mental breakdown.
Do you still believe in our God?
She still believes, of course.
How could one so easily abandon the faith they've held since childhood, even if it were to turn into a demon?
"Hey, Xenovia, she's a demon now."
"No, even among those who have broken faith, there are those who feel guilty and cannot forget their faith."
"...It's just that I can't let go of it, because I've always believed in it."
Elsa lowered her head, but even so, tears continued to stream down her face.
"Then die by our swords now! Even if you are deeply sinful, our gods will still lend a helping hand. At least let me personally judge you, in the name of God."
Since you still believe in the Lord, let us, as believers, purify your sins with our own hands.
Before Hyoudou Issei could rush out, Rias stood up.
She values her family and relatives, and she would not allow these people to kill them in the name of "purification".
Just as Xenovia replied to Rias, "This is the warmth of us believers," Hyoudou Issei broke free from Koneko's obstruction and stood directly in front of Aisha, launching into a verbal attack. Then Kiba Yuuto also spoke up, daring to be their opponent.
Even disregarding his identity as a knight, his very identity as a holy swordsman is enough to ignite his murderous intent.
As a child, he and a group of his peers suffered greatly in the church's Holy Sword Project before being killed by the researchers. On his deathbed, he made a vow of revenge with Rias and was reborn as a demon, which is why he is extremely hostile to the Holy Sword.
(See, the church is going to be the villain again.)
The grove of trees behind the club villa —
"Haha, in my long-lost hometown, I have to kill my old friends. What a cruel fate."
As soon as Chang Yan arrived, he saw Irina Zifang, who was immersed in her own little world, and his mischievous mood immediately kicked in.
"Hey, isn't this Wisteria? I heard from Ichisei that you're back. It's been a long time!"
