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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjefM77Tj6
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H269Cattw
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7eIePKsEV
"HALT!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5su7LJK41E
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidp2WJpTJS
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBkdqRPUHH
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJt8m8wT97
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G9Z9ulfvE
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32C6aN5dic
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMCMpqfPV7
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUm0zm9LAz
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FCgVIgAra
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FNTpBVpdd
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHNY74BmBy
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm7uX2NiTY
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ujIu1ZEm
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMdyHpzx3O
The guards stared at him.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QolYHyxga
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlau3d9nSgE
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmlzwaQbbZ
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!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEblUxJJGa
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZlFltaKjd
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeLxRXjaff
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8LLI7e12a
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJd2bOItoOm
"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."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy8jGmEgxg
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAjdzW7FTf
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnX1v2URb2
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7f6TG9k6mM
"…What if I sneak in?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOBxreeKeY
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVIgmIA4W6
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi0rWpYJKJ
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWTJJLCDmJ
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoLWXQypBJ
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVbNYVDrkV
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXmyOKfCtN
"Not my problem."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPqhZnY487
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy5kLSkXrv
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolnIVutLAQ
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4jGDOaYH9
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZDMFNjExc
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfi79kvB0v
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv536ex1ulB
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA4a8Kjyr3
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd9n6I35cA
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatBUeOdEm3
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzTrmsIZDi
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZK7sTv5mN
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVwFqnEPEf
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKd9n1Pyt
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeAGmKcCdx
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uuTbyqEKX
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVO7clfSuL
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2NeXC6gXV
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOKXFdCerN
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0g75zoKk
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPSki7Pa5r
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOkz8qANJ
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJXnsUmOJX
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi15iibBPHX
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfpL9AX44n
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitPRQ3RgCr
Then, he froze.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl9rZulIo9
Wait.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12J1uqQ3IR
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEufgrq8t01
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMhQMATr1r
A long, dramatic silence followed.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zWei1UAWc
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP3yfNRDx1
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ElXowiOpL
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!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQWE9J5Wrt
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqcqipwqxn
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhapYXOHQ
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHuRpdnzXz
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHQ6GaLpFE
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfTEQqx6gt
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGtZyLm1Qn
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVdqFKtlh7
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64d4sejhBf
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ulvIGcCaQ
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eUn53R5ll
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ1nM72F3l
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fjWllqE8a
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—”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxS90ZW4EI
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWcArAmKOw
“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—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Z5llWzYU
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E9hbVC5Lk
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbYRS7FAXS
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHZkNX6lKJ
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf9qZDvdXb
He blinked. “Hello.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vmJbroBCy
The entire kitchen exploded.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcZMcb5FFo
“YOU IDIOT!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI4NMaiQIA
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0HrOx08oB
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRaPaOOKXP
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilQAXHygfy
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGgPUQ3qtD
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFBwPNk8Hy
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITL8GC67QG
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIukF4HWtCl
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJVOuFeNWf
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUrfjW9F1N
The entire kitchen fell silent.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhqvXAvnFx
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpxcYIiVJ2
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSOBHEdlFf
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7FV7iSRel
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdUoM3CE7B
The restaurant gasped.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyftAs7oz1
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmjH4jeyCV
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUtNTetUst
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu7fCiYuy2
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!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZHc6cHwqm
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiUWmyK6CY
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNgzGI4Qyv
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaSzdL9Wfg
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCJk6tfHvh
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfT9EFPtSf
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWPG1b11oj
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEOmEmCT4G
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.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnCWz2rhox
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcOIDMRCJX
He glanced down and—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmiY9QF9te
GASP!
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd1zT1zBo3
A dead rat lay on the floor.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBH9ykwVr6
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIvoHlh419
"Perfect!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVpiKfcucN
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6eJheI5xu
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0VwlVuYKD
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26QgcgsXbj
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIQ9Pptuhx
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X9p8E6KvB
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEPhtIsww3
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsx20Ye93b
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPk1rWRp5s
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqBYiQxX4R
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICxozh4urA
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OxHyOWh12
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqop8LObOE
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGGm9tYpAt
Then—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjAf9XYn0k
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qqeh5Hepp
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS7xoXCDnd
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl4WkDoee0
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSFF9SeDvZ
"Yeah, for flavor!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO9A4LLX9C
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlznCt9J1hO
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wx89dLE3t
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAeynNTy3I
He grabbed a tomato—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3CXMnZ4Fy
And sliced the cutting board in half.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bPzuADW2H
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoUgcw652B
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E9L6utehg
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h0qD5WW5l
One second later—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqO2b8Ca8w
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GtWMzhK9y
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKYfCMHReP
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nJJtgREG4
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmdcyBrPiG
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZQrlMKJ2E
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAKKn2xiPS
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz33Jz1vFcX
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtznfpg14s2
JJ read it.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHCq2Q61wb
It said:
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkg3wyIJlr
"Guy wants food."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYjLcNPhJr
JJ SNAPPED.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dFBzNk7xg
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aJoNxlJrB
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DvAXPhLvJ
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtAOedUDZ4
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmaiVrsGr
He picked up a garbage bag—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXKv9tcGY5
And threw it through a restaurant window.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJr8wb4lt7
JJ screa
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG2Zpai6kN
med.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1rZ9giDtP
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgATVBtDTgq
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhukWNRdahu
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyPBaSnEqj
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Au837X8W8
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTfeiOypCq
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwc5G5dGcO
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfycLjFfMf
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
168Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj38rd8SAam
