5.
But...
That warm respite did not last very long.
The Queen, who truly treated us like her own children, nagged to a seriously excessive degree.
So that Lina, who had become the greatest magic swordsman at a young age, would not become a delinquent girl...
And so that I, who was held up as humanity's savior, would not become arrogant...
The nagging she endlessly poured out with that noble, angelic face was truly relentless.
Thinking about it now, throughout the entire pilgrimage journey, her real main position had probably not been spirit mage, but the 'Great Demon King of Nagging.'
Today, without fail, the Queen's beautiful mouth began to start up again.
"Lina, what is wrong with your face?
A lady must cry with dignity, even when she cries.
How many times have I told you not to bawl like a child..!!"

"No, that was Louis..."
"And your husband's cock...? Hah, how indecent! I told you to always firmly uphold your dignity as a Guardian..!!"
I quietly slipped out of the Queen's embrace and tried to sneak away.
But a step faster than me, my ear was snatched.
"Louis, where do you think you're going...!
Did I, or did I not, tell you to contact me every night before you went to sleep using the communication crystal?
Why on earth will you not listen to me!"

And then again...!!
"Blah blah blah blah......
.....blah blah blah blah......."
Under the Queen's attack, pouring out all the nagging she had accumulated as if it were exploding all at once,
even Lina, who was always wild, willful, and full of fighting spirit, now stood dazed with her energy completely drained.
The Queen's nagging really...
I knew very well that her affection for us was deep enough to overflow...
Ha...
Really, I felt like the energy was being drained out of me and I might collapse.
Even Lina, who always had so much energy that she seemed about to burst, was now dazed and unable to collect herself.
"Ah... right..!!!"
At that moment, the Queen clapped her hands and smiled brightly.
"Alen, I hear you are holding a banquet today? This is no time for me to be standing around.
Lina, snap out of it!
Today, I have to dress you as the kingdom's finest lady.
Ah, just thinking about it makes me so happy!
What dress should I put on this lovely little lady?
Louis, look forward to it.
Today, I'll make you fall for your wife all over again."
With that, the Queen tightly took the dazed Lina's hand and left.
Lina, who was always so confident, was being dragged along like a doll with half her soul missing.

All of the noisy, chaotic, hellish situation
was instantly sorted out by the Queen, the drill sergeant of our pilgrimage adventure party.
"Ha... Irene, honestly... Louis, this is no time for us to be standing around either."
Uncle King Alen gave orders to the maids who had been waiting in the hallway.
"Now, you are the guest of honor at today's banquet. Dress Lord Louis up splendidly as well!!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The lovely maid sisters, eyes sparkling, rushed over in excited high spirits.
"Kyaaah...! Hero, you are really so cute! Now, let your big sisters give you a splendid makeover. Come here. Hohoho."
"Eh...? Wait a moment, ha... Where are you touching me?!"
As I backpedaled and tried to flee from the maids' eager hands, Uncle Alen grabbed me.
And he handed me straight over into the arms of the maids with shining eyes.
"Hahaha, Louis. You are humanity's savior. You know there are people who serve you like a living god, don't you?
Even if it's bothersome and you hate it, you need to learn to accommodate them."
Just like that, I too was dragged off to become the guest of honor at the grand palace banquet.
"Hohoho. How is your skin so fair and soft? Like a girl's.
Oh my my. Hero, your pants... why are they so damp..."
"Eek. I-I will dress myself!"
"Where do you think you're going...! Just leave your body to our hands. Hohoho."
"Haaaaah.......!!!"

A little while later...
When he saw me perfectly prepared after passing through the maids' lecherous hands, Uncle King Alen spoke in admiration.
"Wow... Louis..! Now that you're all dressed up, you really do look like a fine man."
"Ha... The clothes are too tight and uncomfortable."
"Hahaha. You're all grown up now, so you have to learn to endure things you don't like."
And at last, the curtain rose on the banquet.
The lavishly decorated banquet hall was already filled with the sweet scent of wine and the laughter of nobles.
Numerous chandeliers sparkled dazzlingly on the high ceiling, and all kinds of flowers and splendid decorations announced that this was a grand palace banquet.
When Uncle King Alen and I entered the banquet hall, gazes from every direction focused on me all at once.
Everyone in the hall bowed deeply toward me and the king, showing formal respect.
"Ha... This is really uncomfortable... I truly can't stand these fancy occasions."
The formal attire that constricted my body, and the reverent gazes pouring toward me, were extremely burdensome and uncomfortable.
Just then,
the resounding voice of a royal steward split through the air of the banquet hall.
"The Queen of the Kingdom of Lumencia and the Hero's Guardian, Lady Lina, are entering!"
The gazes of everyone in the hall turned all at once in the direction the steward indicated.
"Ha... She's beautiful."
I was entranced and could not close my mouth.
Uncle King Alen, standing beside me, also could not hide his admiration and muttered to himself.
"Oh my... Our little girl has already become such a magnificent lady. I'm truly overcome with emotion...."
The Queen had always been graceful, always gentle, and the greatest beauty in the kingdom.
But today, Lina, who had dressed up elaborately for her entrance, was also showing off a dazzling beauty that was not inferior to the Queen's.
The Queen, richly and elegantly ripened,

and Lina, with alluring maturity blooming amid fresh, verdant youth.

Ha....
I completely lost my wits at their dazzling entrance.
Perhaps sensing my gaze, Lina blushed slightly as if embarrassed.
Really, I did not know why this girl, who used to be such a tomboy, was getting prettier by the day.
If this continued, Lina might really snatch the title of 'the kingdom's greatest beauty.'
'Ha... When that time comes, she'll act completely full of herself, won't she? Heh heh.'
While I was entranced by Lina's beauty,
Uncle Alen proclaimed the start of the banquet in a booming voice.
And so the banquet began.
The magnificent performance of the splendid court musicians resounded, and the maids began placing all sorts of sumptuous delicacies on the tables.
"Hah, hah...♥.♥. Louis, I'm so happy. It's ecstasy ♥♥"
"Ha, glutton Lina..."
I had almost been tricked by her too-dazzling beauty and elegant figure.
As expected, Lina was Lina.
The world-class glutton Lina, the moment she saw the delicious food, started making a fuss with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"Wow... Louis, look at that! That golden meat roasted to a perfect brown, and that drink over there is that legendary wine said to have been aged for hundreds of years..!!?"
"Yeah. But Lina, you're drooling right now."
"Hmph... Stupid Louis. I'm planning to eat for real today, so don't stop me!"
Unlike shy me, Lina was sociable.
She was excitedly raising her glass and moving here and there, greeting people.

Everyone liked her.
It was not simply because she was the 'Guardian of the Hero who saved humanity.'
Lina had already become so dazzlingly beautiful that it would not be an exaggeration to call her the kingdom's greatest beauty.
On top of that, her bright and lively personality was enough to earn everyone's love.
Countless men, unknowingly enchanted by Lina's dazzling charm, were constantly swarming around her.

As I watched her, my lower belly began to churn and heat up.
Lina was eagerly accepting and drinking the glasses people handed her.
In my bloodshot vision, reality began to distort horribly.
Inside the glasses the men handed her was not red wine, but sticky, fishy, cloudy-white semen.
And Lina, thoroughly drunk on lewdness,
was gulping down the sticky liquid the men offered.

The more semen she drank, the more she changed into a more seductive and disheveled state.
She had drunk so much that dirty semen was smeared white around her mouth.
With that filthy, dirtied face, she was laughing like a loose whore.
She was affectionately exchanging gazes with other men, giggling, and trading all sorts of lewd jokes.

Just watching that obscene scene made my pants gradually grow damp.
Just then, Lina and I made eye contact.
Lina looked at me and smiled seductively, then slowly approached while licking the semen smeared around her mouth with her tongue.

As if she was trying to boast of her lewdness to me, she approached while fondling her soaking wet pussy.
And then she began forcing the sticky pussy juice that had flowed out and covered her palm into my mouth.
"Louis, this is my lewd pussy juice made while drinking other men's semen.
I'll give all of it to you. Hurry up and take it. I'll make a lot more for you."
"Haa, haa..."
The lewd taste—sour with the tang of lactic acid, yet sweet and salty and fishy—excited me.
Lina's thick pussy juice stuck stickily to the inside of my mouth.
But that taste gradually began to change strangely.
........ Huh?
The sharp sourness was similar, but for some reason a bitter and tipsy alcoholic aroma lingered.
It was not pussy juice. It was wine.
In reality, Lina, thoroughly drunk on alcohol, was feeding wine into my mouth.
"Ha... You blockhead Louis. Our cute Louis.
Ever since you were little, if this big sister of yours didn't take care of you, you'd shut yourself away alone like a crouching lump. You still haven't fixed that habit..."
Lina had gotten deeply drunk on the delicious food and strong wine. Her cheeks flushed red, she was grinning as if in a good mood.
"Louis, this is really delicious! Hurry up and eat. I'll bring you more."
"Ah, no, I don't really drink alcohol..."
My voice trembled faintly.
Lina's reddened lips, her moist eyes slightly relaxed from the alcohol, and the sweet fragrance that wafted over every time she exhaled lightly.
Ha... Really.
The Demonic Energy inside me seemed determined to turn me into an incurable pervert, vividly distorting even reality.
The scent of sweet wine was clearly coming from Lina's mouth...
But in an instant, it was changing into the fishy, heavy smell of semen.
Even though my head knew painfully well that this was not real, my sense of smell was now being helplessly consumed by delusion.
"Our pervert Louis. Is it still very hard for you? You poor thing, what am I to do."
Lina, who had been gazing at me with tipsy, relaxed eyes, stood on her tiptoes and lightly kissed my lips.
Slurp, sluuurp—.
The moment that soft tongue invaded my mouth and entwined with mine, the horribly fishy and bitter taste of semen was vividly felt in my mouth.
Ha...
Really...
Now I felt I could understand why the Previous Heroes had all met miserable ends.
They, who had been born bearing the purest light of their era, could not help being consumed by darkness.
In a thirst blazing with primal desire, all of the world's reality must have distorted and twisted.
Fortunately...
The twisted desire inside me was not a destructive one that would destroy the world or plunge people into terrible pain.
But...
Instead, it had to turn my beloved Lina...
into a lewd and promiscuous temptress who eagerly gulped down the semen offered to her by other men.
Ha...
I was sorry and guilty beyond words toward Lina.
And yet, I could not control this terrible sense of depravity that tightened piercingly in my lower belly.
As soon as possible...
I wanted to see Lina endlessly, lewdly ruined, gasping helplessly in other men's arms.
My fully and tautly erect cock was pressing persistently against her lower belly, and at last it was dampening her dress.
"Y-you pervert Louis..!! Again... again..!!!"
Instinctively, I covered my head.
But contrary to expectations, she did not hit me.
She softly and affectionately stroked my head.
"Ha... Is it really that hard for you?
Our Louis, you poor thing, what am I to do. You've completely become a pervert. Hwaaah...!!"
Perhaps because she was thoroughly drunk on alcohol, her emotions were excessively surging.
Far from hitting me,
Lina instead suddenly threw herself into my arms and began weeping sorrowfully.
Even as her warm body heat and affection reached me, the rotten, festering desire inside me swelled uncontrollably and only grew darker.
After endless sex with countless men,
Lina had collapsed from exhaustion, drenched in their sweat and dirty spit, and sticky semen.

Lina, reeking of other men's fluids, yet crawling into my arms with coy, languid eyes as if she knew nothing.
Over the pure face of the her now in my arms, the image of her lewdly corrupted self was overlapped.
But...
As expected, my Lina was the wild Lina.
She suddenly began retching.
"Uweeeck... Louis, hurry! Bring me that empty bucket over there..!!"
"Ugh... Gross. I told you to drink in moderation."
"Uweeeck... Ha, I feel like I'm dying. You, take this out and throw it away without anyone knowing."
"Why do I have to clean this up...! I-it's gross..!!"
"You think your lovely wife's mess is gross? Do you really want to die?"
Pfft... Right.
As expected, that's my Lina.
My lovely Lina.
Stay by my side forever, just like now.
