As Eleo strolled down the long bridge, he whistled a completely out-of-tune melody, occasionally stopping to peek over the edge. The water below was crystal clear, reflecting the sky like a giant mirror.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4JkVVn7SE
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ykpDjpesh
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwYTpW09Gu
"HALT!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kts4dp8z3
Eleo flinched as two guards stepped forward, blocking the entrance to the city. They wore polished uniforms, crisp and intimidating—exactly like the ones from that fancy boat that got wrecked earlier. Their dark blue coats had an eagle emblem stitched onto the back, its wings spread wide, giving off an air of authority. Above them, two watchtowers loomed, and Eleo could feel the sharp gaze of more guards peering down at him.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HcuZp4Yvw
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2boWhIZBMC
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE2Qc4k8Px
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUfiGn3s0E
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKubMGAv47
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxWxOZzKBw
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopU7SBDU1Z
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbxDh6HrEb
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyil9c8tN8C
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhpfFpdjPE
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaV3qklXf4
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMye4LtJGo
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS8VqmeXDo
The guards stared at him.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOWgJF8sIE
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdoF0wZCDZ
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGdSq7V3RQ
The first guard facepalmed. "No, it’s—ugh, listen, you can’t just walk in. Umapin is a high-security city! Only authorized people can enter!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYfMgJTorJ
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxuQQWl9LS
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGYWdsna5T
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxH159PSsK
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJmhNPGqMN
"Spying on a poor traveler like that, huh?" Eleo shook his head, wiping an imaginary tear. "Shameful. Truly, the corruption of the law is a tragic thing."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiww7C9Avyb
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejX027TsRT
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xRvCh9NRl
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStxG9uTs41
"…What if I sneak in?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01Bg6PIVu8
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t2vBKQGUt
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Lwadw34IG
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwArfDqDDnF
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRNmzquY0l
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5NOmHLQ6y
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4A3ZgM9Tl
"Not my problem."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWiQy7p2mD
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUIipBgxOU
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxvlQsWSeh
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPninUGoKSx
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7lSvt4O64
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApm7G5Lu9q
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5r1LqGVBy
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGU5qWdVAat
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYdgeFDFEp
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3mr2VybNx
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX5NAJtN2n
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmsxNPcoGN
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UwBwvVCFT
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgnq4DNXVU
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NkgBlyYFl
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWDwKbc8B8
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XwdR1lRQd
As he walked further into the city, his eyes widened in awe. Umapin was huge. The towering white buildings were adorned with intricate carvings, giving them a grand yet ancient feel. Large banners with the same eagle emblem as the guards’ uniforms hung from balconies and windows, swaying in the breeze.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmMqUrJFrp
The streets were bustling with life—merchants shouting about fresh produce, blacksmiths hammering away at glowing metal, and groups of musicians playing lively tunes on street corners. The delicious scent of roasted meat, fresh bread, and exotic spices filled the air, making Eleo’s stomach growl loudly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykx4z3hY5F
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1dyRrVVHy
A luxurious horse-drawn carriage rolled past him, its wheels gleaming like polished gold. Inside, a noblewoman in an extravagant dress glanced at Eleo through her fan, then quickly turned away in disgust.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmu2mITev2
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKY61sn0R9
Nearby, a massive fountain stood in the middle of a plaza, its water sparkling under the sunlight. People gathered around it, tossing coins in and making wishes. Kids ran through the streets, laughing as they weaved between stalls and dodged annoyed merchants.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAPps2DaCO
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw04RASl0BQ
His eyes darted from stall to stall, overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options. One stand had skewers of grilled meat dripping with savory juices, another had golden, flaky pastries filled with cream, and further down, a shop boasted massive bowls of steaming noodles.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAhElqNxF7
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTThGMSvws0
Then, he froze.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHm3cHfZCB
Wait.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdMfz316MS
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJyUy50KXM
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2ND7nlbf
A long, dramatic silence followed.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V09RqxaXb
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQbzF5MAdm
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWeFZSNjbB
Eleo sat up, deep in thought. "Okay, think, Eleo. No money means no food. No food means no strength. No strength means no becoming the strongest!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ItiNSqkZC
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcpKXX53ZE
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazjDFny1eo
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw3gdVbmsx
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEHYTqapC1
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkPFcEApJR
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZMK8DYgMK
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLj4rneuqt
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxxljQWEZ8
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZwIzf6CtC
He stepped into The Golden Spoon, and instantly, the chaotic energy of the place hit him like a flying frying pan. The restaurant was PACKED. People were eating, laughing, singing, and even dancing on the tables. Some guy was juggling plates, a group in the corner was arm-wrestling while eating soup, and at least two fights had broken out over who got the last piece of bread.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgagmYGwaZR
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPEE9IudyK
Finally, he pushed through the madness and into the kitchen. Unlike the dining area, the kitchen was a finely tuned warzone of chefs chopping, stirring, and shouting. Pots clanked, flames roared, and the air smelled amazing.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAGZutBIIz
In the middle of it all was a bald, thick-mustached man who was yelling orders at lightning speed. “WHERE’S MY SOUP?! WHERE’S MY MEAT?! WHERE’S MY—”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgxKBN0XLj
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDa9Mrn9Nt
“Man, I’m hungry.” Without hesitation, he grabbed a carrot and chomped down. It was crunchy and delicious. So he took another bite. Then another. And another. Until—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDzt4TSRL7
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPHjGN4xTh
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMzglt7ho8
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QXQj61515
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf0d6jv7KQ
He blinked. “Hello.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjY3J8Oe6Q
The entire kitchen exploded.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK18JpG61c
“YOU IDIOT!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdsYXqyhjS
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iLE27lswW
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TMrIUaWol
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21HkpOYT5T
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneogmZgOus
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnKtkeFCLx
JJ’s mustache twitched. He stomped over to Eleo, grabbed him by the apron, and lifted him off the ground like a sack of potatoes.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYrXX56wLK
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfbIwp9Ywq
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO9q0WG8EW
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjSISfhwZr
The entire kitchen fell silent.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicidyrHrml
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYftvCb5IOA
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ03NxfbR66
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqEMWWEWbe
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr67zPP0mNl
The restaurant gasped.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jx1e0MkIF
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AMeZEbTG9
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWqdSHPcMW
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vflc1wcdL
Eleo, still rubbing his head from being thrown, quickly jumped up. “Wait, wait, wait! Just give me another chance! I can, uh… I can cook! Yeah, I was the BEST cook in Coco Island!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8oFNJiKic
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSCtCj9Fqp
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWa6M0ANjC
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWrs2CAecE
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaZGWCF9uj
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c1o9Q1HpP
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtwQB1gcbv
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqZLy0GHjd
The kitchen roared back into action, with chefs moving like a well-oiled machine. Eleo stood in front of a large boiling pot, stroking his chin.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwQSQX4scZ
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ5ICynNXg
He glanced down and—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfU5BLJKaC
GASP!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRlLZcE4aW
A dead rat lay on the floor.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRPZ9LT4YJ
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGoBP4m1MD
"Perfect!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWxN1VIBVY
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxtGFW6qst
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzl76i1uOH
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFTbp27NIp
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4M3OrO698
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwxmDZsxNI
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXisM7H2j77
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLovQXEIh3
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIR2Gp5q1E
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44wIzrdp0x
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfV1Dc75LX
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJyoF1tvXQ
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JKV2QpF72
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k2foms3E3
Then—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvi2OIMoJE0
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjupFXmcnRv
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMw90lgHQW
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWSnfm8V5Q
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmusNKXvzcy
"Yeah, for flavor!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf2A0gsQ5e
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq06LzGZTbW
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpzIazsTOG
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywFRXyfdlD
He grabbed a tomato—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4zuRGn3Bn
And sliced the cutting board in half.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6uCzhlEXp
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh7Tw30xdI
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCtQrK6S3u
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83EWZVSY3W
One second later—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5azdSsLPF
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMM7wRe86F
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtHsZGONq8
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9P6ezVpbY
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg5ArtAVv2
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y2eX1arMa
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY97qV2Bd6H
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDc0N0oUCn
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbow56DTZc
JJ read it.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw4PqVmZpU
It said:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aohTJvPDv
"Guy wants food."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3uRTT2XrV
JJ SNAPPED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBVCo545X0
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpCpV1AtU4
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujZEACNkS7
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJht2FxCQk
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxVgPxiFig
He picked up a garbage bag—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjvOdBzTJO
And threw it through a restaurant window.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlkVaMtXwX
JJ screa
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBBLCI4eav
med.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIfXlLnICj
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9IJp2uzrx
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeywlib7Odp
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziPMRnoxPK
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1CktJsJRy
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmp3n9RDZV
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UA1h8JiNu
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiLLzCSP4b
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq98gBPQEH
