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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLmbTd3xjU
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JvoYiiQJD
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkxf8BuaJx
"HALT!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Sa3urufyP
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMmhGVtcH7
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrncRatfRZA
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRGaPt135e
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAVEcOwoFI
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLs2Gp0JkX
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgHbYInKCb
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qkaqFtPsV
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJfjOEGBsd
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc2tuQhGKm
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fmJVx9JhZ
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Rg2YZAq7
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATzpZ0JxTT
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pRH04VhAs
The guards stared at him.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs43mnqkdh
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG9wb2AmUp
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1K5X29cv8
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!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50LFnc5BP5
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11pkVif6iY
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Gf2DbuHc
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhrbOedkQJ
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpWtIHXzlM
"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."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb70I6kg1e
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6d6G7UQ53
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKl3pFD3MW
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE9OTFWzhf
"…What if I sneak in?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAc5JaOJnR
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHoSni7ckF
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDahxRgCDWy
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD0RDiyNrk
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28B5ALlElo
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ127YmKcx6i
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlqLq7JlD8
"Not my problem."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70tTVXeA6T
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHRn0f0Ot
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKRBDYkCxH
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkNYXcDi2e
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygyWacQ0qt
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmf5By841l
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw0bLCI8te
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE9KDYfaei
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqe686NV20
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoevC6JYC2k
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx7oZoagb6
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9r73RCmL1
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS0LR4C2wJ
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cADvjvcY6
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8oTJgJNpk
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1lucxdOPl
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoInHB1Ohb5
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3jaGXpaEP
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33wV0A5IYH
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXGbiH8DhJ
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgVsxLgWud
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgKswjsGOR
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdltaZyY4P
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOFRazomHv
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z7LsvPIlC
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEvW3CBLJV
Then, he froze.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF9bSwWJ3P
Wait.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq5FUYzyJO
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK1EPHTNae
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqSWN7tFCs
A long, dramatic silence followed.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L2UqOWrbt
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZq7LZFriP
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3eSkJq14X
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!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8GKpN3GyJ
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsLHqIKidA
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr9yX1RD0I
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yrRYqdZ1D
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzs5VnXSJ0
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxoa0wWMFi
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGb8oRpkcD
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡappI94ygqT
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioqaxUe7fS
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl5ALVzrGE
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXCpKyNeCH
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRRjApuqKs
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUXYXKsESw
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—”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0HDlUeEaj
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9d1kh0Xta
“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—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXXCGLoa8c
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8BqmWlaAf
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokp9afg0Eb
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7rVVjZgWE
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxJarhQpu7
He blinked. “Hello.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1230gdHCiP
The entire kitchen exploded.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSmG4spwM3
“YOU IDIOT!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8maGlwNTAS
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u8QxcVWxX
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7S1Lh8CYX
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzeH0tA2np
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMMryp4DD6
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtg7F35uvG
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBfByRsLQE
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBLNMIQfWZ
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI8u2f6FJs
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwVP5Yvjke
The entire kitchen fell silent.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3qAhyp52n
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx8GuAYgGW
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeMxM5FQJZ
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAanunpwpt
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWasstcKMX
The restaurant gasped.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7hmrfp5GU
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3jEPbN04V
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGOKy02Zwv
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMMErkAskB
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!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkm9IB7oVu
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVCpVvKhck
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxOZISVeg9
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi5UKs3o6b
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIxxspDpUj
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqRSd3BgyT
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa6ijtEaBK
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEui4RckMm
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx50vAkYCQ0
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b888PTarm
He glanced down and—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3eDq8pn7h
GASP!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtK2zOyDmD
A dead rat lay on the floor.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs5o9MQO3q
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT46L3DsBv
"Perfect!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0771zKNK79
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdQVNZUR2R
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfb3aw0NcE
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvddr8nlONz
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiXDxrUlue
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu8MvWsDas
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ9fJiu18H
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIr1Dwc4EU
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon9s6Oc3ec
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpR7dTF2YV
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnazYWCe0XH
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGqX46RO54
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoND10l38qT
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TkaeVuzfm
Then—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoWHIQlA4e
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpHV7BdOOK
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gXCNmEbwp
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NmsasIxw1
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vALSNGF4A
"Yeah, for flavor!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGoFDF0AHn
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv8tPzffQw
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM4atG5wxo
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv1a6SA2Zi
He grabbed a tomato—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSZGkbzmF3
And sliced the cutting board in half.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo7LSLxzH6
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfLCXmAyWW
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBuOaMmRW4
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u69G8gDEN
One second later—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFCYzgSDtQ
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtMq1HH1Ta
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VapkUKzas
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlXT1Yl8je
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnesGpo1c5
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklnt2g8Ob3
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAVbU5aDcU
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1vFVo2w0C
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHWvduLIm2
JJ read it.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ4OrpGiXX
It said:
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rOgi48uAC
"Guy wants food."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xuKlcJcOB
JJ SNAPPED.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnP6BKDYd7
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj2JauJF1J
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK24XrTW5ut
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEtrPnkmG1
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwFob3T25y
He picked up a garbage bag—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzn43LgVm4
And threw it through a restaurant window.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUo1MOinqB
JJ screa
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUT0mYb3d1
med.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATBhNPJ3dj
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU9pgix7rL
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPWOx0Hw8p
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL65G2oGjV
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSsvmOwxBF
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttzxYjxQf3
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZsZXGHJdk
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeogJPP3eLp
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL3zAYepKk
