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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPCgoElQJE
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4Q9mP4e20
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdyQQgxCfd
"HALT!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4OxDSLW3l
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwsLIZojqC
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9SiKuRD1N
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xWgaj7d5Y
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGZqgAJ6Xl
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEazneOHno
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4OF6wmfyp
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc60aSgK9wk
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDEvpV4xFQ
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWUPAlk7uB
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDqnNleBVw
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHkHAk5gfi
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf60CADkQR
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cpDyQXcFb
The guards stared at him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl2oe68ExR
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl9yJ8xpPh
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu27WXS1qV
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!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz3Ley2Z7i
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLLG7nGZHG
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvrUE7aQD5
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gZxB4ePi6
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssVwnCmKoW
"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."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvXeEW6Kwr
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNllgqhWGA
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M5HMnb0Ex
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15KufywMKX
"…What if I sneak in?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93QjEfXJaU
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURrWlocMUc
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZZFRSrz8T
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kffyXx5iw
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqLNxYqrcZ
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Crz5Ls3y
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlFNG7qeI9
"Not my problem."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN63wkWLii
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6I4KAvdzj
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv0wjf1TuY
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw6u5QyS55
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRAr96Skal
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo7oEGtJiQ
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUTgB4StfE
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZopt0vEZl
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV65pFhkR1u
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MYd1DvyRp
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdsuDNH7lw
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8IqvFTWN8
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0gHsVfLEs
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQrnoL0Ht
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMulPBX5MfD
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFf4Wsd4DK
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQCkXM41TD
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WHb7Ukv7J
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMKDYgGbqL
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpLY5Mc1I6
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKAjKKQkpj
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bkd82N8Sx
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF4JpVNF4s
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ675VoneoMD
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d1YLaXNpT
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVdnYjR2us
Then, he froze.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn56EyAHI0
Wait.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4krCfU2zJk
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z8yGX7hUK
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT0jIxbYjc
A long, dramatic silence followed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GEAwNygcv
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW9v6GHpom
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L9NS8ntHE
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!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeMj4el4vA
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNKxHWRLAx
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL0YLiLgcx
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYuntxb051
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTmcAlfkN8
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpQqLugy5N
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZroYyR3wu
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Kqot9YxO
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUm72XwmbW
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFAq2EWwPs
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iZudYJ1zh
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsii9R1jbk
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC7m7HU60h
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—”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2huzxYUtD
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsbTEAS5zm
“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—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyKnuc7ulp
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVng264ibsy
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbtQ7aPeiW
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbAc1yZZoD
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIIRE9cgaV
He blinked. “Hello.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tdPquK0k3
The entire kitchen exploded.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyqYrtYBK9
“YOU IDIOT!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKgLFvrDbU
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmeGoccumv
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9CeiGtQVP
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuV1nxMjWMS
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dIQDYEyFX
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaiaSeFnJR
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDyNiuKIT4
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EH3lWpNpK
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYTqqPk7n8
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3wiYJzFtU
The entire kitchen fell silent.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ809GDQ5VhF
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSxqiZPDCL
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F8QgEUxDK
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfebWw8vmv
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFCZJlovi4
The restaurant gasped.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcowxAWKM6
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LMWhTuqBY
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVvcGHHTDf
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRm7ow05v6
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!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH20YC0Y9O5
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKPkJ6Pi1m
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqJzXkMjq0
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ewXpwXYU
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHHGkajpjx
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNYN5di08H
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXoPcMRL4g
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS1XaKLJbN
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KGuMVJk6Q
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNvhlqPiki
He glanced down and—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2qFVBXeUP
GASP!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9taPHWevuK
A dead rat lay on the floor.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL34e0NMZJ7
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6CEPJ3zCF
"Perfect!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw5c0KTnih
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0liI1WRRM
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8O4MGxdy5
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl42WHzXnI0
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBhGBNUAKs
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVfn5uGBJu
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FZJ0snBzu
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRs0w1RiWI
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx3zEwOlxA
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIgWnfs0es
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS2vGaIA4l
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuTUQx2mhc
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW6jLcXTPI
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQJlPBr5t
Then—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8VvuUgUJ6
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYk3iNUronm
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK4bEUrgtz
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90wtKD1KCT
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyjUeu5yeo
"Yeah, for flavor!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zz5ECE025
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUomwjOX5y
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRfU2NSwEs
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOkhvirwCh
He grabbed a tomato—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnKd01x5XA
And sliced the cutting board in half.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLovE8CNqhB
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwHLtpMl5Q
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwntKHJY90T
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeepoXh7jAK
One second later—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn10uqrKIa
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8Y6LpJ6r
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBLEt7Qa8Q
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkesi0wcuwu
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoMfsWaZlW
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OlFEBrmVA
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWUNtZ4ydi
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP1c7zlhwz
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyf3i6RFsb
JJ read it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczfKaJ6b9y
It said:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVH0w4IZaQ
"Guy wants food."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFHyLl3Yas
JJ SNAPPED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZJrqEwT0c
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDosszbdB5D
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ4KdsGYGX
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcenzTRJAlX
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolnmDbXGBE
He picked up a garbage bag—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxeSgP4UxL
And threw it through a restaurant window.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc7U8YGZgR
JJ screa
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiUSogmFLf
med.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFLbOx5KpM
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjqGigVLfr
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Dn9MYMg2
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KsvuUUZWz
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2zEEPwiZq
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0FOUVxOZf
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAgrvEFeu5
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78Yi7fU4cZ
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJsZB7fE4o
