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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3erO8akiHG
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfoozJgZy4
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiRNaTqCmT
"HALT!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjA2fMkppd
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA68OFxehG
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q9xI6r457
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxojSZ8dG2
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMOQMkbGpq
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5DLvlWp7y
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXLTQGwtTH
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3eJ0aneXD
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJkOJgs0JL
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHAQWgtYw4
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMDG1T9dhl
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bwEPNmoUp
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gViBgehAn
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAnC8tgsII
The guards stared at him.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yijrDSFbi
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OeA7GBUSM
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMgvA5SfXR
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!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl3RJxseRo
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JkuJI5W3H
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmEzi1RIRa
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h59FjSzn0
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjKEzhnCld
"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."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapp23N7PiF
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmldmoUwuVS
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVUdH1pvWG
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iI0KPhJCl
"…What if I sneak in?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPpFC15XcM
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33307sxeAh
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij64cQhq77
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXanh797FCd
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbUmT3pi72
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRdmjSr32M
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba4nDTCphd
"Not my problem."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkd3IeCkCi
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwEHw3ElCm
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLaTzhRvrL
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv0UyiJi1q
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJN5G94Txt
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsheZKej2mT
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce3Lg4EYo5
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPUXbXKhWP
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVxsCT0yrE
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuc157thiH
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto5MFvsWft
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGUHSudEtD
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRme3LxqB5J
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAMIiIdzQy
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI3d34fm2g
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBVuSsk3LT
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfwECmvGI9
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVLFP5zX6o
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47LQaU9XJG
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WQYXifzd1
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3DFdA9D3k
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u3uKgO0Hm
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnozOEpDfM1
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9FQk5Pw2A
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ5W018Wit
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR8Rf2Akyb
Then, he froze.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3w4doYPpC
Wait.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iPHCobZRd
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uLmC421yf
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSe3SnDM9VU
A long, dramatic silence followed.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbLjUd2vQa
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bYxcKoJCh
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuwKN5UOyo
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!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdusQV68Ga
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKw2U87508z
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k2282Ql6h
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYA3QHzEeu
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrILQEq7bdF
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi5YEdwp6U
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt05FEAvYL
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyoV5UwcIf
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzva2HSC4Td
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IlhGkmTW1
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqYKnkyBPo
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0fxj10yXI
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa83KmFvJ6d
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—”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHRmAY8SkV
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzUaRiPgGC
“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—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2irJD2sO8W
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrVNGCnNKQ
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK43FhRwV8
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tKJlt9Zza
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmimCTzDNA
He blinked. “Hello.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ077YXz3X
The entire kitchen exploded.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU9GhOD9k8
“YOU IDIOT!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajMDUI7rRU
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ao0gISvaw
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvCm9DG7bf
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobdAxQRnC5
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrptJ0VushJ
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQacestZWC0
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wJ109sZBN
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5T9zRfI6N
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaribqmSrD
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBQZMo7muG
The entire kitchen fell silent.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBQgbHkQ5z
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWvpvCtl0
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ajKQH0guz
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICGimIvLaY
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlrWUqTM7v
The restaurant gasped.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡummKbyH0JU
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aNOXktBXu
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0xbJzdZ0b
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A6kpxiMs9
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!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1P26pN8rtY
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYogZUdQlIf
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfpYtOEtIm
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeNrAghRep
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYARf5qxC3
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZeICksESZ
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUfcpGhCnT
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNlPl85GS5
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWl6OsQxhb
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg84WUFZtc0
He glanced down and—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgFu7wOKkU
GASP!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uBRBQqEm7
A dead rat lay on the floor.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HPVOn2pFu
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoJYc82qmR
"Perfect!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjkonxqFEq
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjWYSTC3kf
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuIHExfhKx
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfVCDKnK5U
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3YYoneDpH
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO35XLkwX9
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VLmbeliEL
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr4Vh1B95G
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOn1lk4n5d
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8wPh4Ri3U
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJmwY34YMc
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4JYEKqj9g
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiZoVueGiR
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurXMMvDpaq
Then—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnqaWW6I06
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eTydCMweE
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxLtQy7cZk
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4clmkFwOAN
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZdwZjWqzD
"Yeah, for flavor!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCwgn6zUKe
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmaULwJk4y
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbDyi8HEpL
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAAukkSkDn
He grabbed a tomato—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VCiPBHULM
And sliced the cutting board in half.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKochNI1d5
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QSbgw3vAy
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DNWucUzHM
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqwWnAGdFd
One second later—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgYgEIvBIf
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3CRMsi7fP
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTWGi7itXy
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cbp0ICYPQ
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqBdHhFE1r
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcz1CVpuga
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SKEZ3fsCb
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT3PpgrGZp
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG68m1s2fov
JJ read it.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhArUHaN44N
It said:
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK0GnbHG2A
"Guy wants food."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQSSHjrVfK
JJ SNAPPED.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhGDscpC6z
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOceWy8hxy
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0iThxb7Pj
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6xs1dVT9Y
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBqe9soSHB
He picked up a garbage bag—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAusLWok9I8
And threw it through a restaurant window.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctkJKTEhFS
JJ screa
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MeW9iIc9N
med.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGby9NUslMM
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHbp4DatTM
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZNsuesbXX
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeLqjobJf9
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcSuo2zMw6
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD8teJbldA
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI6YYfHEFA
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGv32FGUZk
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLAnXdncb3
