Naofumi was sent to another world, accused of rape, and betrayed by his fellow companions. Left penniless and alone, he was forced to purchase a slave in order to have a fighting chance in this world.
 
Anyway, here’s a bunch of stories about them eating delicious food.

The second season of Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari. 
 
With another Wave happening in a week, Naofumi Iwatani and his party have no time to waste. However, when bat familiars raid Lurolona Village and the Wave countdown comes to a halt, the Four Cardinal Heroes reconvene with the queen, Mirelia Q Melromarc, for a quick briefing. The queen presumes that the odd occurrences are linked to the Spirit Tortoise—a threatening creature that has awakened from its slumber, back to cause havoc once again. A plan to put the Spirit Tortoise to rest is devised—but out of the four men, only the cursed Shield Hero agrees to help.
