Damon and Cassandra continued their exploration of the town, their footsteps carrying them through bustling streets and quaint alleyways. The sun began its descent, casting a warm glow upon the buildings, as the aroma of various delicacies filled the air.
As they walked past a crowded eatery, their attention was captured by a signboard that read, "Special Katsudon: Made from Demon Orcs Meat." Damon's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, his curiosity piqued.
"Cassandra, did I read that correctly?" he asked, gesturing towards the sign. "Katsudon made from Demon Orcs Meat? Is that even edible?"
Cassandra chuckled, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Yes, Damon, you read it correctly," she replied. "It may sound unconventional, but trust me, it's absolutely delicious. The town is known for its unique culinary creations, and this Katsudon is one of the highlights."
Damon's skepticism lingered, but he trusted Cassandra's judgment. After all, she had proven her keen sense of taste and adventure on many occasions. With a mixture of curiosity and cautious anticipation, he agreed to give it a try.
Entering the eatery, they were greeted by the mouthwatering scent of sizzling meat and simmering broth. The cozy interior was filled with locals enjoying their meals, their faces reflecting pure delight.
Damon and Cassandra found an empty table and placed their orders. As they waited, Damon couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement mixed with trepidation. What would this Katsudon made from Demon Orcs Meat taste like?
