"Brother! Are you hurt?"
A group of monsters attacked - ogres boasting terrifying strength.
At the same time that the last one was cut down by a boy in light armor, a blonde-haired girl jumped out from the shade of the trees behind them.
She had beautiful wavy hair that was long enough to just reach her shoulders.
As she walked, her cape, decorated with gold thread at the edges, swayed, and her ample breasts peeking out from the boldly open chest of her sacred garment.
"Oh, it's okay... Wait, wap?!"
Before the boy could stop him from wiping the blood off his sword and returning it to its sheath, the girl embraced him from the front, pressing her breasts, so large they could not be grasped in one hand, against him.
"Brother Leon, if there's anything that hurts, please tell me right away. Mel's healing magic will heal you without leaving a single scar."
"It's okay, Mel. I won't fall behind these guys."
Mel is a blonde girl with sparkling blue eyes who looks up at me pleadingly.
If she were a dog, her triangular ears and tail would be bouncing back and forth energetically, and her energetic and affectionate behavior would make her brother, the boy Leon, smile wryly.
"Besides... I don't want Mel to be the only one hiding! You know that Mel can fight too, right? I think you're being a bit, no, really overprotective!!"
"Haha, well, yeah, I know that. But... I don't want Mel to feel any pain. And, you see... if something were to happen to the healer, it wouldn't be undone. It's a plan to be extra careful."
As his sister protested, puffing out her cheeks, Rion's eyes wandered as he managed to come up with an explanation that would somehow convince her.
(I'm not lying, there's a lot more to it than that... ahahaha)
"Fufu, I understand. I'm really happy that you care so much for Mel. But, just as much as you do, Mel also cares for you more than anything in this world! If you ever need my help, please let me know."
"Yeah, I'm counting on you. I don't know much about magic, but Mel is amazing."
Feeling relieved that I managed to cover it up somehow, I answered honestly this time.
As can be seen from her striking outfit, with a cross carved into her short boots, she is a user of healing magic that is unmatched in the Kingdom of Lavand where they live - no, in the entire world of Myuge. In its long history, she is an existence that has been given the title of "Sage", a title that can be counted on one hand.
The magic is so powerful that it can heal even mortal injuries.
Fortunately, during this not-so-short journey, I have not yet found myself in a crisis where I would need that power, but I don't know what will happen in the big situations that await me.
When that time comes, will I be able to protect my sister as well as I am now?
A slight sense of unease crosses my mind, but I shake it off and pull myself together.
"Anyway...Mel, it's time to get away."
With a wry smile, he told his sister, who was still clinging to him.
Although we're no longer children, she's still as clingy as she was when she was a child. She clings to me all the time, and when we walk, unless there's a special reason, she asks me to hold her hand.
"Brother, is it a bother if Mel is clinging to you?"
"N-no, that's not true! It's just that I'm sweating right now... it stinks, doesn't it?"
Mel asked me with a more depressed expression than I expected, so I quickly explained the reason.
She's been rubbing her nose against my chest for a while now, so it's really bothering me.
When my cute little sister tells me I stink, it hurts a little, no, quite a lot.
"It's okay. Big brother, you smell so good ♪ Just like this, I feel kind of enchanted... it smells so good... hafu"
The blonde haired girl said this and nuzzled her cheek against his chest as if she wanted to smell him.
(No, it's Mel who smells good. ...Wait, what am I saying!)
Her blonde hair, swaying softly under her chin, gave off a sweet, fragrant scent like blooming roses.
It's a sensual scent that makes your heart race and your body heat up just by smelling it.
"Brother, what's wrong? My heart... is beating hard. Hehe, it's just like Mel's ♪ Somehow, I'm kind of happy..."
Mel asked, tilting her head cutely. Her snow-white cheeks were now faintly colored like cherry blossom petals, further emphasizing her pure cuteness.
"Eh, uh, n-no, I just finished the battle! Ahahaha."
Rion was almost entranced, but he managed to muster up his senses and somehow managed to laugh back.
(What are you doing to your sister... Calm down, me!)
I take a deep breath without anyone noticing and somehow calm myself down.
There was no time to panic. This was near the deepest part of the monsters' territory, a place where an attack like this could happen at any time.
"...!? Mel, don't move!"
"Eh, oh, big brother?"
In an instant, Rion noticed the murderous intent approaching from behind, and as soon as he drew his sword from the sheath at his waist, he turned around to shield his sister with his back.
Countless stone arrows, likely fired by magic, are approaching.
The young swordsman swung his sword, which emitted a faint light, with speed that was too fast to see, and cut it away.
"This much... ooooh!"
In unison with his fighting spirit, the sword emits a pale blue light.
The legendary holy sword Soleil, which only he can wield, was what led to Rion being recognized as a "Hero." The magical stone arrow was easily shattered by its power.
"Tsk... you're still hiding!"
He suffered a small cut on his cheek from shrapnel, but fortunately that was the only damage.
I immediately looked ahead and saw an eerie shadow of a man dressed in black hiding in the shadow of a large tree a short distance away.
They are called Liches, the highest level of undead that specialize in the use of magic.
As expected, the monsters that appear in this area are all exceptionally strong enemies. However, he cannot afford to lose. Leon pulls himself together and runs off to finish the fight before the next spell is cast.
However, the boy was overtaken by a shadow with flowing blond hair.
"You... you hurt your brother, didn't you?"
When did she let go of his back? As the Lich readied his wand to compose his next spell, Mel approached him calmly with a quiet smile on her face.
"Do you really think it's okay for a half-dead piece of trash like you to hurt Mel's brother? Hehe, your brain must be completely rotten to the point that you don't even realize that. Hehe, ahaha... I'll never forgive you."
The blonde sage spoke so quickly that his voice was high-pitched until he finished, speaking in a voice as cold and low as ice, before taking out a red gem from his pocket.
"Appear—Bravura."
Mel lightly tosses it, and the red jewel emits a blinding light.
In the next moment, it transformed into a staff as long as she was tall.
No, it's a little too different in shape to be called a walking stick.
There was a jewel at the end of the long handle, and a blade of light, like an axe, extended from it.
The unusual aura emanating from the weapon caused the undead lich, who is normally emotionless, to take a few steps back.
However, the enraged Sister Sage did not overlook it.
"The pain you caused my brother - I'll give it back to you trillions of times over!!"
--Zshaaaahh! Zgaaaan!!
Mel gripped the handle of the axe with both hands and swung it down with great force, barely able to catch her breath.
The Lich's body was cut in half as he stood there, and the force of the blow was so great that it even gouged a large hole in the ground, like a meteorite had fallen.
As a great cloud of dust rises, Mel lets out a laugh that almost seems insane.
"Die, die... Die, die, die so you can never do anything terrible to Onii-sama again, you trash! Get lost... Get lost, ahaha, ahahahahahahahaha!!"
The axe was swung without a moment's pause, tracing a trail of light like a knitting net. The lich's body was cut in two and shattered into pieces, and just as Mel had declared, it disappeared without a trace.
"...When? Hey, Mel! The match is over, stop!"
Rion was overwhelmed by the momentum, but the pain from the wound on his cheek finally brought him back to his senses, and he hurriedly stopped his sister from continuing her rampage.
"Haa haa... I'm sorry, Onii-sama. Mel, I just can't forgive this guy for hurting you, so..."
Mel took a deep breath and finally stopped swinging the axe.
However, as if to say that the punishment was not enough, he violently trampled on the lone piece of Lich bone lying at his feet.
The indescribable force of the attack sent chills down Rion's spine, and he was unable to immediately say anything else.
(That's why I didn't want Mel to fight...)
She is usually a kind and gentle sister, but she becomes merciless towards anyone who hurts her brother.
Not long into their journey, a monster launched a surprise attack in town, and Leon sustained a minor injury. In a fit of rage, Mel slaughtered the monsters with the axe, just as he was doing now.
The residents, seeing this terrifying sight, were even more frightened than when they had first seen the monster, and ended up leaving immediately.
As a brother, I don't really want to see my sister in such a frightening state.
To put it bluntly, he thought that Mel, who was very attached to him, would get hurt, so he decided to solve the problem by keeping her as far away from the battle as possible.
(In the first place, why is Sage Mel's weapon an axe?)
The red jewel she holds was adorned on the hilt of Rion's holy sword.
Chosen by the holy sword, the savior destined to eradicate evil - the hero.
The gems have the power to transform into the most suitable form to serve as weapons for their allies in battle.
When Mel holds it, it becomes an axe that she names "Bravura."
(Mel isn't just good at healing magic, she also has a talent for fighting... probably.)
The axe attack was so fast that even Leon, the hero, couldn't keep up with it with his eyes.
Mel learned healing magic because he wanted to heal himself, as he had been fighting to protect his girlfriend since they were little and had often sustained minor injuries.
As a result, he became a master of the art that no one could match, but if he had pursued the path of a warrior, he might have become an even better master.
"Brother, I'm sorry... are you angry?"
Mel, mistaking Leon's silence as he was lost in thought, asked anxiously.
"Hmm... No, that's not it. I'm sorry, I let my guard down."
"No, it's not your brother's fault! It's that scum who got in the way of the brother and sister getting along who is to blame!! I made sure he was completely dead, so it's okay now♪"
Mel, spouting abusive language that didn't suit her cute smile, returned the axe staff to its original jewel form and jumped into her brother's arms again.
"Brother, the wound... it hurts, doesn't it?"
"Hmm, no, this is fine but... since I'm here, I guess I'll get it fixed."
As Mel clung to him, her strong desire to help her brother was clearly apparent.
It's not a serious cut, but I'd like to ask for it.
Right after Leon asked with such consideration.
"Yes, I understand ♪ Leave it to Mel... hmm"
The younger sister wise man answered with a big smile, stretched her body, and reached out with her red tongue to the red gash on her brother's cheek. She began to lick the wound, licking it like a dog playing with its owner.
"Hya!? Hey, Mel!"
"Mmmm, lick, haa, hum, hmm, Onii-sama's blood... what a waste."
The tickling sensation on her cheek made her instinctively lean back and scream, but Mel narrowed her eyes in ecstasy and eagerly moved her tongue, licking along the wound that stretched across the side.
Since it was close to my ear, I could clearly hear the splashing sound of saliva.
This forced me to realize the strange reality that my sister was licking my face, and I couldn't stop my cheeks from burning with embarrassment.
"It's dangerous if we don't disinfect it like this, so mmm, haa, please bear with me for just a little while... Lick, haa haa, ah, Onii-sama's taste... smell... is wonderful♪"
"If you use magic to disinfect..."
"Using too much healing magic puts a strain on your body. For a wound this small... chu, it's better to treat it normally like this. Mmm... ♪"
"So recovery magic had such a side effect. Well, putting that aside, is licking something just a normal treatment...? Ugh, ugh."
Rion thought it was obviously strange, but every time his sister's hot, wet tongue crawled over his cheek, he felt a tickling sensation and an indescribable sense of comfort.
The pain I had felt just a moment ago gradually faded away, and somehow I felt like I wanted to stay like this forever.
"Ahh, hmm, Onii-sama, you look like you're enjoying it... Hehe, I'll treat you even more. Don't be shy, leave it all to Mel."
The younger wise sister smiles with genuine joy.
The light fades from his eyes, and he is ecstatic and intoxicated by the situation.
Rion was overwhelmed by the indescribable force he sensed from that expression and fell silent.
(Mel doesn't seem to mind, and if this is treatment... then maybe it's okay to leave it like this. But, as siblings... this is a bit much...)
He knows it's not normal, but the pleasure of his sister's tongue caressing his cheek washes away his reason. It's impossible to resist.
(I had decided to settle my feelings during this trip...)
"Hmm, the bleeding has stopped. It doesn't taste as good anymore... It's a bit disappointing, but I'm glad... hmm, haa, but I'll disinfect it a bit more, smooch, lick♪"
While Rion was pondering these complicated thoughts, Mel was eagerly moving her tongue and in between, she was casually pressing her lips against his.
She wriggles her body and rubs her soft breasts against his stomach, clearly visible even through her holy garments. This is an everyday sight for this brother and sister, who use their whole bodies to get affectionate.
"Mel, that's like a kiss... mmm, uhh, aah"
"It's just treatment, so it's fine. Squeak, smack, haa, bear the tickling and do your best until the end, Onii-sama... Lick, aha, mmm ♪"
Although the older brother hero remained vigilant so as not to make the same mistake, he was unable to stop his sister's loving "treatment" and ended up giving himself over to her.
When they were young, brother and sister Leon and Mel lost their parents in a tragic monster attack on their village, and have lived alone for over ten years since then.
Wanting to gain the strength to protect his sister, Rion continued to train with that single-minded desire, and before he knew it, he had grown into a swordsman renowned throughout the neighborhood.
About a year ago, he went to test his skills in an old cave and pulled out a sword that had been sealed in solid rock.
The village priest realized that it was a holy sword that could only be pulled out by a hero destined to ward off evil from the world. Leon and Mel, who did not want to be separated from him, were soon summoned to the royal capital.
"We've been waiting for you, Hero Lion."
"Y-Yes!! Um, I-I-I'm back!"
The throne room was on the top floor of the royal castle, filled with knights in imposing armor and nobles in luxurious attire. Leon was led there, kneeling on the red carpet and looking up at the beautiful woman with long, striking cherry-colored hair who was smiling down at him from the throne.
This is Victoria, the only princess of the Kingdom of Lavand. She is the pillar of the country, managing government affairs in place of the king, who was injured in the battle with the Demon King's army and is currently recovering.
A white dress that exudes a pure image.
Her chest is so open that her shapely breasts look as if they might spill out, but it still doesn't feel lewd, perhaps due to the unique aura that the noble being that she is, the princess, possesses.
Her face, smiling gently, is as gentle and beautiful as a goddess.
(This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman other than Mel...how rude to the princess.)
I couldn't help but think of such things and quickly scolded myself in my mind.
When I looked next to me, I saw Mel, who was also kneeling to greet me, glaring at my brother with an uncharacteristically sullen look on her face.
She's probably angry at me for thinking about unnecessary things.
(No, no... I have to get myself together)
He always wants to be a cool and reliable older brother to his younger sister. After losing both parents, he vowed to himself as a child to bring back a smile to her face, as she cried constantly from loneliness and anxiety.
Pulling himself together, Rion began to speak.
"I... No, the reason you called me was... Um, um..."
"Hehe, it's fine. Please speak as usual. We are currently in wartime, and there are many things that need to be more important than excessive politeness."
The pink-haired princess gently comforts the boy, who is struggling with unfamiliar polite language.
For Rion, who had always lived in a small village, the solemn atmosphere of the throne room was enough to make his stomach churn just by being there. But Princess Victoria's words instantly lightened the mood.
"Thank you. So... the reason I was summoned is to subjugate the Demon King."
"That's right. As you know, Leon-sama, the Demon King Bandi's invasion is only getting more intense. He has already taken control of many villages and towns near the border, and there have been many casualties."
Victoria nodded vigorously, narrowed her eyes sadly, and let out a sigh.
Since ancient times, there have been many battles between humans and monsters.
There hadn't been any major conflicts in the last hundred years, but the one who broke this brief period of peace was Bandy, the ruler of monsters known as the Demon King.
Approximately five years ago, a cruel demon king who showed no mercy to anyone who disobeyed him, even fellow monsters, led a large army of monsters and began an invasion of the Kingdom of Lavand.
The kingdom had mobilized all of its knights to intercept the attack, but they were gradually being cornered and were in a situation where they could only wait for defeat if things continued as they were.
"We have been wounded and lost many in the long battle. The only way to break this situation is to defeat the Demon King Bandi. Many knights who boasted of their skills set out on a journey to do so... but unfortunately, not a single one has returned yet."
Perhaps feeling that it was all her fault, the princess's hands were shaking as she rested on her knees, gripping the fabric of her skirt tightly.
Even so, he didn't cry or lament. Rion immediately realized that he was restraining himself, not wanting to show that he was losing his temper as he stood at the top of his game.
That's the same for me when I'm in front of my sister.
"I'll go, Princess! To be honest, I don't really understand why I was chosen by the Holy Sword, but... I have confidence in my sword skills. I will definitely defeat the Demon King! So..."
After making this powerful declaration, Rion continued to speak, trying to present an alternative condition.
I can't take my sister on this dangerous journey. Could you please protect her in this castle, which is the safest place in the country? That's what I was about to say, but...
"Please let me accompany my brother. I am confident in my healing magic skills, and I have proven that to the injured knights. Even though he is a hero, my brother is not good at magic, so the journey will be far too dangerous for him to travel alone...a healer will be necessary."
Mel, who was kneeling beside him, spoke in a firm tone that was completely different from when she was pampering her brother.
"M-Mel! What are you doing..."
"I can't let you go alone, Onii-sama. Besides... you promised to always be with me, on behalf of our late father and mother, right?"
Rion frantically tried to stop him, but Mel smiled and told him not to do that.
However, he would never allow her to take him on a dangerous journey against the Demon King.
"No matter how good you are at healing magic, that's..."
Rion, who was unclear on what to say, looked towards the princess, hoping that she would stop him in person.
"Mel-sama, the knights have reported to me how wonderful your healing magic is. They say you have even saved knights who were on the verge of death and had already been abandoned. Thank you once again."
"No, I was just doing what was natural. Besides, I thought it was the best way to have my abilities recognized."
Mel smiled back at Victoria, who bowed slightly.
"You saved the knight, Mel, when did that happen..."
Come to think of it, yesterday, she, who is usually so attached to me, said she wanted to go out alone, which was unusual for her, and left the inn. At that time, she must have visited a sanatorium where injured knights gather.
"Mel-sama, there is no one in this kingdom who is as skilled at healing magic as you are, even in the long history books. I would like to bestow upon you the title of 'Sage', which is fitting for you. Please help your brother, the hero."
"Yes. In the name of the 'Sage', I will accomplish my mission."
Before Leon could interject, the conversation between the relying princess and Mel had ended.
(I can't believe they've made such preparations...)
As Rion stared blankly at his profile, Mel noticed and her eyes welled up.
"Brother... please don't leave me alone."
"Mel..."
The image of my sad sister, shortly after losing our parents, clung to me, saying the same things she was saying now, and refused to let go even when we were taking a bath or going to bed came back to my mind.
No matter how dangerous the journey we're going on, I don't want her to make that face again.
Thinking about it, Leon finally made up his mind.
"Okay, Mel. I'll protect you."
"Yes, as long as you're with me, I'm sure it'll be fine. Mel, I believe in you ♪"
The moment Mel heard her brother's words, her face lit up.
As if unable to bear it any longer, he stood up and jumped on the surprised Leon.
"Brother, let's do our best! Hehe."
"Hey, hey, Mel! Know your place...hey!!"
He scolds his sister, who has her arms around his neck and is happily nuzzling his cheek, and looks around to see what is happening around him.
The knights and nobles lined up looked astonished, but the only one who was smiling happily was the princess on the throne.
"You two get along so well... Hehe... I think that's wonderful."
"Th-Thank you, well... you're always such a spoiled brat. Ahaha..."
As Rion gave a wry smile, Victoria asked, "Now that you mention it..."
"If you return after completing your mission, we will of course welcome you back with a suitable reward. There may be rumors on the streets, but..."
"Um, yeah, I've heard the rumors... well..."
A pure and beautiful princess gazing at me with gentle eyes.
Whoever defeats the Demon King will be rewarded with the right to become the next king along with her.
Even Leon, who has always lived in the countryside, had heard such rumors.
(Marrying the princess...?)
You can't help but be captivated by her legendary goddess-like beauty.
It would be the greatest happiness for a man to marry her.
...If there's no one else you really care about.
(No... it's fine. I feel bad for the princess, but maybe this is the perfect opportunity to draw a line under this.)
The beloved girl who has filled the heart of the boy appointed as the hero since he was a child.
He wants to continue loving her forever, but that is not something he is allowed to do.
(Mel... I...)
If I were to be tied down by these feelings, I might end up preventing her from leaving me and finding new happiness.
It is because I love him that I have to shake him off.
(It would be really rude to propose marriage for such a reason, but... I'm sorry.)
In his heart, Rion apologizes to the kind and beautiful princess.
However, it's all premature.
First, I have to worry about whether I can defeat the terrifying Demon King...
Just as I steeled myself, my sister's hand around my neck tightened.
"Princess, my brother is not seeking any reward. He simply wishes for peace for the people, and is willing to dedicate himself to it! He will decline all rewards."
"Uh... Hey, Mel?"
Mel raised her eyes sharply and glared at the princess as if she were her enemy.
Rion was more surprised by the rudeness and the way he was behaving than by the content of the words.
"Isn't that right, Onii-sama? I don't need money or fame. As long as you have me, that's enough... and you'll be happy, right? Am I wrong?"
"N-no, well...yeah, well..."
In reality, he has no interest in status or prestige. He and his sister own land in their hometown where they can live comfortably without starving, and they have savings.
Above all, if he doesn't care about Mel's happiness or the public's opinion, he will continue to monopolize his younger sister forever. That is what will bring him the greatest happiness.
As I was at a loss for words as to how to respond, a small laughter came from the throne, lightening the mood.
"You two really are such a close brother and sister. My apologies, Mel-sama. Leon-sama certainly doesn't seem like a greedy person who is after a reward. What I'm saying now is because I want to respond to the feelings of the two of you who have accepted such a difficult mission in my own way..."
After that, he seemed to add something quietly, but his words were not heard by his siblings.
In any case, Victoria's words eased the tense atmosphere between Leon and Mel, as well as the tense atmosphere among the knights and nobles who were trying to reprimand Mel for her rudeness.
"...I'm the one who apologized."
Mel, who had parted ways with Leon with some reluctance, seemed to have regained her composure as she bowed respectfully to the throne once again and apologized.
"Ah, well, anyway... I'll defeat the Demon King!"
Leon bowed his head in unison and vowed once again.
There are many things to think about, but I can think about it all after the battle is over.
He tells himself this and looks at the princess with that thought in his eyes.
"I understand. God bless you both... I will also be praying from here."
Victoria called out to the brother and sister with a slightly amused look on her face for some reason.
(I was thinking of doing it after the battle was over, but that will finally be tomorrow.)
Deep in the forest. Lying beside the campfire within the narrow barrier that Mel had created, Leon gazed up at the starry sky and thought deeply.
Beyond the eerie, overgrown trees, an old castle could be seen illuminated by moonlight.
This is the Abyss Forest, the base of the demons.
The Demon King's Castle, at the very back of the area, is literally right in front of us.
Having reached this point in the evening, the two decided to rest here tonight in order to be fully prepared for the battle.
This strategy was possible only because of Mel's powerful barrier magic, which could fool the eyes of any monster.
(It's small, but it's a powerful spell so it can't be made too wide.)
With a wry smile, he glances at his sleeping sister, clinging tightly to him.
It's so cold that the fire can't be extinguished. The barrier is so narrow that we can't lie down without huddling together like this.
Even turning over in bed is a bit troubling, but Mel, who has nightmares about the day her parents died, always sleeps snuggled up like this.
The distance has just gotten a little smaller, so I've gotten used to it.
(Plus, I don't think I'll be getting much sleep tonight.)
I have defeated many monsters up to this point, including many famous monsters under the direct command of the Demon King, so I am confident.
However, I can't imagine how strong the Demon King is.
If it was so overwhelming that even I, wielding the holy sword, couldn't match it...Mel, who was boarding with him, would not escape unscathed.
"Hmm, Onii-sama...? Can't you sleep?"
Mel woke up and asked, perhaps noticing Leon's heavy mood.
"Sorry for waking you up. Well... I was thinking about a lot of things. Mel said it might be best if you went home now."
As soon as she muttered that, Mel clung tightly to Rion's arms, not minding that her ample breasts were being crushed.
"I'm not going back! Mel will always be with my brother!!"
"But, the opponent is the Demon King. If something were to happen..."
"When that happens, Mel will die with me!"
"Don't be ridiculous! Mel is not a child anymore. She was popular in the village, and I'm sure she'll be able to find a husband when she returns home. I hope she lives happily like that..."
His beloved younger sister is getting married to someone else. Just thinking about it makes his heart ache, but he holds back and says it for her sake.
However, the younger wise woman clung to him with such force that it seemed as if she would break his arms, and pleaded with him with large tears in her blue eyes.
"Mel's happiness is my big brother! I'm not interested in any other man besides you! I can tolerate a simple greeting, but marriage... I'd rather die than that!"
"N-no, you don't have to say that much..."
Speaking of which, there was an incident in the village where a man confessed his feelings to Mel, but then became completely disabled and stayed at home all the time.
That man ended up leaving the village, so I never got to hear what had happened.
(Let's stop, yeah, there's no point in thinking about it)
The image of Mel tearing the monster that had injured him to pieces with a great axe flashed through his mind, and he hastily shook it off.
"Brother, if you say you won't take Mel with you... then just kill me here... with your own hands! If it ends up in your own hands..."
"There's no way I could do that! Ah, come on... I get it, if you say so Mel... I'll be with you until the end."
He gives up, realizing that it's impossible to dissuade her, and makes up his mind to admit it.
"Brother... Mel, I'm so happy! We'll be together forever and ever♪"
Mel's expression finally softened, she relaxed her hold on my arms, and snuggled up to me as if asking for affection.
His upper arm is caught between her huge breasts and is being fondled. The hero brother, who had not been able to release his sexual frustrations during their long journey, begins to feel hot in his lower abdomen.
"Ahh, ah, um... Let's go to sleep now, Mel! ...I'll definitely protect you tomorrow too... I'll definitely protect you, Mel!"
He declared hastily, feeling that he would not be able to endure this if things continued like this.
"Will you really protect Mel forever?"
Mel stopped moving and asked, looking up with a slightly anxious look.
It was rare to hear someone emphasize something so late. Even as he thought this, Rion nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I'll always protect you!"
"Always, forever... Hehe, that's right. I want you to protect me, Onii-sama, forever and ever... I don't need any other men... Even as a princess."
Mel muttered happily under her breath, tightening her arms around me once again.
"Onii-sama will protect me... forever... forever... together, forever ♪ Fufu, how wonderful... I'm so happy right now, Onii-sama... ahaha, ahahaha ♪"
The light fades from his blue eyes as he looks up at the night sky, and a slightly ominous air hangs in the air.
Rion was curious, but he changed his mind when the Demon King's castle came into view again.
(Tomorrow... let's do our best)
Protecting his beloved sister more than anyone else and defeating the Demon King. Right now, he can only think about that.
Having made up his mind, the hero brother closed his eyes tightly to concentrate.
