Given the extremely long title (which is typical of the "Noukin" / light novel naming trend), I will refer to this series by its short form: "Betrayed Hero and the Demon Lord."
Criticisms
The only downside to Chapter 5 is that it may feel a bit slow for readers who are purely looking for action or immediate, crushing revenge. It spends a lot of time on "cute couple moments" which, while nice, delays the inevitable confrontation.

How Does the Truth Come Out?
Unlike typical revenge fantasies, the hero does not immediately expose them. Instead, a neutral third party — a wandering historian (a new character introduced in Chapter 5) — uncovers the church’s conspiracy. Using magic recording orbs, he reveals the moment of betrayal to the entire continent via broadcast crystals. The Villains' Perspective: The chapter usually cuts away
The Dark Past
These four heroines, once seen as paragons of virtue and beauty, have turned against the hero, branding them a murderer (yuusha goroshi) and a great villain (dai zainin). This drastic change in dynamics leads to the hero and the demon king forming an unlikely alliance.
