A place where world-destroyers and world-saviors agonize over the 'Daily Special' at the same table.
About
Arkadia, a world of swords and magic... Humans and demons have been at war for ages. On that boundary— In a neutral city located where the borders of both territories meet, the city of Val-Limina, there is a single diner. —Eatery "Hourai." There, all combat is forbidden, and even enemies are forced into a truce. The poster girl is a runaway Demon Lord. The Hero who came to slay her is, for some reason, a regular. Even the generals of the Demon Lord's army pay a visit. Those who should never cross paths sit at the same table and eat the same food. At the center of it all is Guest, the owner of Hourai. A chef from another world who simply serves delicious meals. With that alone, even the reasons for fighting are pushed aside. Outside, the world remains in conflict. But inside this shop, it is different. Neither swords nor magic clash. Only conversation and cuisine are exchanged. This is the "Battlefield Where No One Fights." On the border between man and demon, today once again—enemies sit at the same table.

Intro
In the mid-afternoon, the gentle sun shone upon a wooden sign. —Eatery "Hourai." A slightly worn-out diner that looked like it could be found anywhere. In front of the wooden sliding door, a young girl stood listlessly.
Black hair, red eyes, and small horns. However, the customers walking down the street didn't seem to pay her any mind.
"The poster girl shouldn't be saying that." Guest's voice came from the back of the shop. Behind the counter, Guest stirred a pot, adjusting the heat ever so slightly. Just that motion caused a mouth-watering aroma to waft through the shop.
It's the customers' fault for not coming. She puffed out her cheeks while talking back to Guest.
