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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJGSvHM8aF
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisrKajTS2f
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSDrbFSZm1
"HALT!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HuVid4gfi
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjInWMechh
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwYq8crg0d
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy46Hzi9j2v
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbmJqCB4iZ
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EmyeliZgR
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvTIIjvv6v
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlvod3Pjx
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK65Lp5yFNq
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I5yt16HTY
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUykYY68UX
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFO8GpQSwO
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXEeWsmZVd
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqTg79TyED
The guards stared at him.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpIwnRtUOC
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBBFwTOYgM
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQxgGR6sOt
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!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bGWn9Tgrh
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtklz9BYEoA
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Q3zoFLTr
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VxBMtNYZq
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ9lq1nK4j
"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."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMLQBTsiu8
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXu4zrSpMV
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcK0kgSXDJ
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCvs0VSfzj
"…What if I sneak in?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcviPE6QLPR
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTODny4MHE
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiyme8rTGg
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUj7jPUlyG
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVQvyKk7oH
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JT9hE4Ilo
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqLJWB8KAq
"Not my problem."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFllagpQXn
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDLFWpaNy0
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOmGJmDzYH
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k9gQt8TDq
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OSIHPqAwX
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcugKPh3CkY
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuKBpad4qm
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqQY8z8PKg
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLPwGEwn8B
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXXwu0RzjE
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRePyEM5isg
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe4S813X1t
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8OrPR8fqn
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvrPubL1HJ
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6av4qrsQco
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdYOJ86Rgn
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfPXLcb5od
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCkoSuXqUb
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngE6yOeBTk
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeO4wALbzm
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbGU5R00pl
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmnQemSoWQ
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJJuudoA5J
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJqVyThU6z
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbMrRhm2Nr
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoke1nFWJU
Then, he froze.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQVosCU9D4
Wait.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiXeFQApO6
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0i2rzVfAH
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3lKACjHun
A long, dramatic silence followed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kLnNVQjHL
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeAYfQbLcM
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4TWrYwU2V
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!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1H3EcUzqj
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A5LmtUtqz
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJvaJVbUw1
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueBxC1AU3E
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmDoywDHN3
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq166Jfoo4
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoP3B5Wij34
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2LY9uhtJ0
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWiMZC2zub
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bNa5aFL0G
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet7uc8IlwL
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMLSCJxMFn
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhtXJ3myik
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—”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgbfERmxZR
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZAOqITtJa
“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—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4ZWVqfRlM
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PWUUrlZm7
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMpSosbseY
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1y76EBHzx
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kotmrjXd7
He blinked. “Hello.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaquFPED5S
The entire kitchen exploded.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikfiZ6h0tT
“YOU IDIOT!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jbFPlt5Uo
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmxiQ90dOx
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy81HYLxvz
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXhJTqtFxQ
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOqqKyZqFP
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvfVyksNgD
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ek9qfBl5X
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9y5NAPopV
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRZaUQVIJS
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3P1fwYOCM
The entire kitchen fell silent.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOKfRrDym0
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR8ZFtQZSX
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMQ1MT8fl6
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqzcTDHAAa
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CnLkJbEXc
The restaurant gasped.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztJrbwNcBi
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9xu3a2LDG
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm9Xo79pco
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc87PVsmfJ
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!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoaeQ7PpJ8
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP5ToGJl7w
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMaxqSnuXk
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbJ0uHrMa4
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4urUu4L10d
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NGNoQjLTj
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70CFk9PxqG
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XmNlPHn7R
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS9hrjoswR
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoeWjlbTd7
He glanced down and—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmO2yYz7Nt
GASP!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelTx0OTk5E
A dead rat lay on the floor.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm3AFPMcdN
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4eRLBzK8S
"Perfect!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaaVf5B15P
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Phj6oKQ8D
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb8juwJt2E
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKEhGK3039
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGpaGUuzKI
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJFHMhbfP4
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z86UjAIZg
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeQYa6Ls0A
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6B6DQoZco
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0S8hk0oTd
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZdZy659xQ
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcU2t02Wps
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKnDugh5rq
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ34eWxYBeK
Then—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPHj6ssqx6
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPfTkkIt5K
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLZuXnk0Fg
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hrl20Un5w
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyWS7EDPoB
"Yeah, for flavor!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2yEWgGTgt
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p0mBk4nmE
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0ppMHdEWD
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevTS2zk4lG
He grabbed a tomato—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDF8BbT0NQp
And sliced the cutting board in half.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0If9GAISj
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ne8400fl2
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAyX6XZCty
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U5OHEPzZi
One second later—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCZ0ej2lev
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4XtTdl5tR
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvt0UGgKu0X
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM9luWP5dD
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05mZ2Ohrep
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7UYqMXAdp
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenjLSjWLaf
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucCgwTbVyz
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFuwp79Zjv
JJ read it.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IVgfkZOVx
It said:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvAwgtUcYx
"Guy wants food."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjdusBDbYn
JJ SNAPPED.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2tCOnYcdc
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzEjCZEZH4
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXDUf2cluB
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlgC0sJziv
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBHbkWekSt
He picked up a garbage bag—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGeFotTuSr
And threw it through a restaurant window.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V8SxkgMGQ
JJ screa
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguEPU2CLIZ
med.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ml3iB7bOZ
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8W76VZMsE
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WOF6TKHI1
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGlAKavoEu
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEda6M6eQ9e
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq4MEi9vzV
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPp2xFIw24
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA6lRTRfR1
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXHEWgfle
