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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkhDOCPCQC
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95Gelr2PVq
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCCt5KURIr
"HALT!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaRO4yzVK5
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaHyomLjBe
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2QfU5D3vH
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6xtpjnOeX
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLvDPdgMuP
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXH5Fq1zDv
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTZ30WCgdY
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZlFBXVfMN
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclSdqlO7Qx
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP7MWfJtSc
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkk97hYhTQ
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TRPRiid39
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAwPiGjEfd
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQdoqSevxB
The guards stared at him.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnjtr5I3Cg
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkX7GNQwR3
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t3odcdlWM
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!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ451BH3POEW
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj863f2YC5
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNI3rb27Rq
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOiVjpXN9J
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGkQW2l36Y
"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."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP3pvSFt7s
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCtWC2bMN2
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSmlaQ5NMW
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRXz0sOVWE
"…What if I sneak in?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG7aoQ6H3Z
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvEoLozrrm
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIK890fAAU
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeu6wfzhAv
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrFONtZYdV
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXa605Vf38
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKd1dSkQsW
"Not my problem."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTU7jjc9m1I
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekqWMIp12
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl8Xr3VNLU
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttfB3koRfy
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXU32z3v3s
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FKCZbeMkU
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEPqUNNGI9
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchC629JUR7
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMesQvhWpYa
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c975QErEa
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm49lWSVxl
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y23hjsBpU
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq3Tuindk9
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWm9a0bpbCE
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tKW2jASP6
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp96d6bkKPD
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvMnp5kOYf
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPYre6vxEv
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJgdlBKGZr
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp4FlcOHjL
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxYkjOZehy
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGZizT9QpA
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dcP716Px7
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIBXeUbmZ3
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZgbNbTUHb
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6WAc5dtey
Then, he froze.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAga8us0zb
Wait.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7mnjmfwKa
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBVWxvSKv6
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBYJeHtcsv
A long, dramatic silence followed.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCxwHBpRUc
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk7cqetb9W
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13uMfAnzC6
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!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzjeOJ0lyC
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSH6tnjMPj
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zSspGROuh
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK44U42eZnp
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN2vw17luk
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIP1QKJRct
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk90fldYhAk
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFCxFgxl4Z
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq0VqUrPXZ
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qfRJCTich
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN28bSIkl2l
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFytBNEL15
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESCQOaBugI
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—”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR14G5Eatu
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZeP6vnIpv
“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—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IUiZ3MudX
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQgd3CVT5i
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllbo5eJwXQ
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR2WE9WSio
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKCuFrN3Ks
He blinked. “Hello.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Z3ZKPnwx
The entire kitchen exploded.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsL8lul1rf
“YOU IDIOT!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXXViSPUrz
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11iK6YGBwo
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ8sI6BcPp
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mSLFpoQZB
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbebehdFMBv
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtBHEEwvg3
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeTV7QXnZZ
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCYVRFDkqa
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uiiValiaP
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDvBpUccbh
The entire kitchen fell silent.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGF6jVJirs
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhWm3MdK5J
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbp2VvITyF
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjNDuYWKJS
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJrojDP0cb
The restaurant gasped.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2aIJ1DAOm
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVUxiIn8dW
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQClukEWVp
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfKJ23fWyr
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!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJt90Ki0fr
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATibrbSMAl
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85EuDmxUEa
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FethaTHQ2
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA0hIVmYBD
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW5B5jjCqW
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhv6lRjVTm
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ35uo5ikI
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3ArTv83xk
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qa4qgqyvb
He glanced down and—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD8k8Ex3Pb
GASP!
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKblbURZ2j
A dead rat lay on the floor.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65c8MaaA7m
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1q0vQcm4i
"Perfect!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPx2ZLsGDr
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQ08PxTIFq
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw11jvAC1TF
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZBkbecZcp
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDU1NDNIE8
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJU42y3BXg
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuByUsMmrR
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyCLxI5nAT
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFtgEWN6WG
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLgoODvysS
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsPfId2ho2
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus6mQLZs2v
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblvDDG6UN0
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN91oZZUak
Then—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr1UPlFL6Z
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DgMluupgv
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuOk6VKBx0
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXcJ8dxrTw
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYA73o6iRF
"Yeah, for flavor!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYCjO6HVXM
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNsmcIIQJ4
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xpWky3ONC
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5YwwDVjVJ
He grabbed a tomato—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbkB6za9A
And sliced the cutting board in half.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu356yt1euM
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KYBCXzmmP
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DyTwUpYjS
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunSfPYy1Rb
One second later—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMRPKhccX5
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kRt1dJmoQ
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gZsCBCoQH
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnbEKEsiMr
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXsd5FC7Xo
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkzaFLhwK5
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk0zS1vWAg
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhfIRIPkwP
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpfZfGGgJy
JJ read it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSIqAsmD50
It said:
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4Y5a6v0Ak
"Guy wants food."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyCc9nb9Ec
JJ SNAPPED.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6lgUeSIjy
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lpAw8QdvK
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2THCX5V9f
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVB8MxeZyj
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUrnFbMIlZ
He picked up a garbage bag—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVa5jyPJns
And threw it through a restaurant window.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpdtwhww6z
JJ screa
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1B5XNtNs4
med.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOx4AwKD4E
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWuWNyCsyp
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYE50zEqAF
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z4BxCPtkF
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOZBcuTPDS
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefOhdzqwOK
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl7BDXmrVW
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMNjZmvadw
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgPHIGrcW2
