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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2bfuw9sPk
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dt9AN0CE7
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74uJDQvOos
"HALT!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dPkmg0x2d
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XK23oScj5
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nxNd0pngm
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcZ6fHmmB7
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8mABLLffu
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7zP9vmfXg
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCCXv8FGir
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t5K9VYOG2
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjkSlrMqQ9
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Hv20kUQA
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH82PLrxzNP
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsqM8fRbAd
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaKEHWLGUN
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09hzfutWnm
The guards stared at him.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkcOHnW08F
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcKY4F2Ax2
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAwZwnjDAv
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!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4mWtKqkid
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULy4eld5TK
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsSnaXRwcY
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS0E5EHbd4
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfvVcuh8wC
"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."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrAZ9aA6Wc
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq2fglJfGT
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tosyqlZ8h
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTPXzNXlL7
"…What if I sneak in?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9EIo1tYct
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTbp4pztwg
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrlu40C8MS
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Nztt6PfMo
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYhmyczFxu
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzHTWMx1Jo
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8sYCssDfH
"Not my problem."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdR4rgTzQX
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9wYWdrJah
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIua0SaHHM
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IKbo2C28R
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL249RAK8CM
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0446OSOWi
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMopkPnClE
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvsrJb8ejF
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBjA6p0w4K
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXkouC9k9
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyQsyHqKRY
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5n8gfrpTN
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdXzhOO2Wl
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6Nf9p9zyl
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusfFrVvgBD
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIqOAX95O2
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡracAq9UDJL
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETQVigSLgv
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI1vdwwXRE
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggE758mqxe
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3wFWwkhhR
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnyXJ0k7ZP
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g3bZIAB9t
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoksYY9LJB
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5ENT8CDHC
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1yg1Otfvg
Then, he froze.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gVE9dxAEu
Wait.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ZaQdOpGz
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrmiF0blex
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZSEzZDQJO
A long, dramatic silence followed.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwGUzhoy4q
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWEGoBJ7LT
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bX8S8GJ88
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!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaruFl7JSY
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlzc2BLjD8
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvKgcJudom
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciFyqDTObA
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGyJTkDIUQ
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6ZER5gNoY
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDMIgHmTWz
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7NlXoM7U1
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaDAyYkRtM
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNOwNBjEhj
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIDK0N6Cyl
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMWDN5r8dM
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto3TwgqnEV
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—”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByLOMZ65yn
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqqJdMPfxp
“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—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfWJutOzsM
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQmFqq50Oj
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApV9UZupAe
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HQODpbkYU
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvyzZGAD14
He blinked. “Hello.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdhA7u1HkT
The entire kitchen exploded.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaxxPc2NYb
“YOU IDIOT!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDNhQpxgh
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsPXuk0UG6
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2IOtXJWx2
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng25dQJhwy
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUyli41Ix1
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygAzZ4mgK9
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQbV5Ss3Qa
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd3TjU0PWW
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvwIOm4KF9
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvNhxL5mEX
The entire kitchen fell silent.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Jez0apMJP
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbVUx5P6Bo
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoX5lPdQuy
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMybnbtlS1
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHcnN5XdY4
The restaurant gasped.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Guz9koTOD
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kQvnsmQ37
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNlYx8t979
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42JoBlCtXF
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!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhv9t1pcIg
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5A7KBaCtN
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq4IFLcc6S
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17hvsUHQqM
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhF4I6o7jO
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWFjpsrEg0
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU7tshoi4d
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0PNP8AWTM
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt620gHca1N
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11bh93nA6k
He glanced down and—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsK6nDbli6
GASP!
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56DrzbLDas
A dead rat lay on the floor.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAkHwETP8Q
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa5eKM7fPB
"Perfect!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECJ676vAx6
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcckHltDBK
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizCiyfxG1G
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXSiidn71Z
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR6KLunoEP
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJntO75aqV
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP5v3hz2H8
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW89Kr9udm
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmyZmmumbn
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWvgd9bgrS
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWquJ2t0PlF
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DNozXndFe
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZU1iFoOer
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zOCENasDl
Then—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfSA4TWAu7
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIlP3FmqaQ
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn6efXpiY4
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4c97oVgQt
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eyT6IaRZH
"Yeah, for flavor!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdhFj2s9tU
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OSNBV8jPl
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH1YUl5at9
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LQsABtvf0
He grabbed a tomato—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtV6RAWEekw
And sliced the cutting board in half.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Nz5q1xnZu
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBxXsi8Ors
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaBFIV6RD4
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89MkRGDIe
One second later—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0OJeDbcBG
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmb8WkHlLu
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvqRbPSgD
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnchgNNsBvk
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZScgg4Hno
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBV4BtKGfh
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS16DkE0ldZ
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyo9kmtoOi
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5OEsE7Zm0
JJ read it.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMxpdTUE6I
It said:
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFvOTAJsOy
"Guy wants food."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt034WBbzxe
JJ SNAPPED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K1c45N8GP
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkuFKoRV71
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNtn3ZeetA
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aP5DRyXLu
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDFzaZFHYC
He picked up a garbage bag—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8r8miS3PY
And threw it through a restaurant window.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsO99ZobHH
JJ screa
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEEvfVhe16
med.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkko8wNH3K
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacESruoRgi
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoI8ADj75G
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9jou5n0dR
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyChLOp1tl
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9QYfKjgHH
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JgSz7oFjq
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlJW1ebhPK
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup9fhHTWB1
