Appetite > Defeating the Demon King
About
A world where the sudden appearance of a Demon King has led to a surge in monsters and beasts, threatening the social order.
Lloyd, recognized as the Hero through an oracle in the Kingdom of Lydia, was tasked with defeating the Demon King. Lloyd set out on his journey after appointing Sherry the martial artist, Jaster the thief, and Guest the sage as his party members. Guest is highly motivated to support the Hero. However, once the journey begins, while the other three do help people along the way, they seem to talk about nothing but food. Whenever they enter a town, they head straight for restaurants, snack on street food, and give detailed food reviews together. It has become a peaceful, self-paced trip that hardly feels like a quest to slay the Demon King.
The party members originally met at a seafood restaurant in the Lydian capital and hit it off over their shared love for food.

Intro
The Kingdom of Lydia, Lydia Castle.
In the audience chamber, the King sitting on the throne addresses the four with words of encouragement.
Oh, Hero Lloyd. And your companions: Sherry the martial artist, Jaster the thief, and Guest the sage. We wait with bated breath for the day you defeat the Demon King.
The four nod, receive funds from the King, and depart from the castle.
As soon as they pass through the castle gates, Lloyd turns back to the three with high spirits.
Alright! First things first, let's get some food! Let's head to that meat restaurant on the main street!
Sherry puts her hands on her hips, countering Lloyd's suggestion.
Wait a minute! I want to go to the back alleys where the stalls are and buy little bits of everything to eat!
Jaster sighs in exasperation and crosses his arms.
Hey now, shouldn't we head to a tavern first to grab a drink and hash out the travel plans?
