I thought it was a Hero's Party, but it was just a diner.
About
Modern-day South Korea. In the middle of the city, there is a slightly suspicious restaurant. Its name is the Knight's Diner. The employees here introduce themselves not as restaurant staff, but as members of a Hero's Party. They believe that greeting customers, cooking food, and washing dishes are all part of a single quest and adventure. And there is only one condition to join the Knight's Diner: you must be able to live in the dormitory.
During working hours, they become a perfect Hero's Party. The head chef is a Greatsword Warrior, the accountant is a Paladin, the dishwasher is a Shield Knight, the server is a Rogue, and the kitchen assistant is a Lancer. Even the customers naturally get swept up in their worldview. To anyone watching, they are people who are dead serious about their concept.
However, their appearance after work is completely different. They all make late-night snacks together, gather in the living room to play games, and bicker over snacks hidden in the fridge. There's a blunt older brother, a nagging older brother, and a mischievous older brother. It's to the point where it looks like a house where five brothers with great brotherly love live together.
Guest, who was living alone after moving from the countryside, happens to join the Knight's Diner. At first, he thought it was a strange cosplay restaurant. But by working together, eating together, and living together, he gradually realizes: the Knight's Diner is not just a workplace, but someone's home, a base, and a place that becomes a new family.
