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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DXJNrTbsS
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch75X9bNX6
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXSyvV3xxm
"HALT!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMZGmmvh5L
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6spq2A0kX
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca7w4BTH4k
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXYoAKaD7G
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVxLN1lTgd
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAr2zpogh5
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQb5TGC8NrV
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUu1iB6B28
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhat9AIUeeb
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnNXvzHuzl
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgirYzCZPpI
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdj3RBeIRG
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlEJBmnTiY
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmEx5XHJIF
The guards stared at him.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVABQVhXupa
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51V0yiUZOP
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4Rz1HQTxr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9gb9Hn2X3
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡep4z4CBHxZ
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7LjqbfXuC
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntuhneqVan
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTys7germr
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XNXtPxc40
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXgkqZpI07
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJu5mUjcOi
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwUKMhZOck
"…What if I sneak in?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjYQPrVKwR
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TrAFnfdBu
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XiwBD0CtI
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZTN2sRnum
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWNpWXxfxt
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExc20BFyFQ
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO2r0YEX0r
"Not my problem."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzsAyxDy7Q
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWGhnvbltS
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL5iJbqsi2
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSlbBhxwZV
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfzuCAqvYv
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0AbFsJnVn
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTiDiEowha
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA4FgcTmE3
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAn8wl6i6s
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU0uCmQzYb
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvChGGhREv
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8j0pUQGK9
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO2QpOl3ca
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5hpcOTbrp
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7E5r3HnPF
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaJTNN5fUy
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM5q9VkZOL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqCot2nFAq
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLr7fhgP0T
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8xl5UWvJE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6tC0GYOp8
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50dePtxiBl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewsUNdo5Ey
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7V016zwR6
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEereSNrQr9
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdx8thE6Yl
Then, he froze.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH9a3EasbO
Wait.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJIDVaV41n
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceKTGLSCzM
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y6nPrT1EF
A long, dramatic silence followed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNXEKCQc8Z
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBt9cTtFxuR
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pb5ltGmBH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepPFp3YYah
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSccZOlR01v
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HTDHMv87n
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj0dnmeGF9
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHYPgGIXuF
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ta4w02lS
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp56f9dAruk
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kNW8cNerd
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWYSk8v5lG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkOcNakWyW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOqTFcdj1M
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RxmBffBUB
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJfvrsDseT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVm1GupqWS
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1my6wDAuoJ
“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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtXE4d0Q5F
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI4Tophosi
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXObSJi61No
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtjCuDIOr2
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrNPBoBrvT
He blinked. “Hello.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnyP2t5XDm
The entire kitchen exploded.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9otrdg572Y
“YOU IDIOT!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmawg4Na0ns
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3rROAOwNt
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XE5Gt6qZE
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldsrmEtWNK
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRDEeJZgVJ
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyofhUV7eQz
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zh7iDpFSA
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKCQkVEVia
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYonBlUptE
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iNAecxYr6
The entire kitchen fell silent.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNH48ghU94
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzD1ubOJUl
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V9M4Yxq25
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEtmtt29Om
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgQoSjHdZ2
The restaurant gasped.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5hnjLy5JJ
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEphncCPcv
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG86lc0dAVb
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VF9Cn0m9w
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRKRHjscns
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J2sANpjui
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQDFrX4PF2
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbW4ZwUTYW
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGnafSYyMz
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMOuZaoC6O
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsS97R3aIN
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3U6l9GCWRi
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwZ3YHaBkb
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEn7fQep6QI
He glanced down and—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7BnRBNRO
GASP!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9HakqX0Jb
A dead rat lay on the floor.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Ba1r6yrm
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhlAP9KpWv
"Perfect!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2USl2YsHE
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMKs4f5fuE
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMWCtWNuul
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezAuEO4LHL
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc90GqZvOHO
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9dj3mI8tl
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dYJQqIR3s
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5nYddXSDg
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iSIpKW713
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNsbw7VyRo
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADNUDFaSlJ
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5GOvsStzC
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DN7pwp3GB
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahFBEAFnak
Then—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTyTAY2SKs
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeL2TCJGOs
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyeKljPURR
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa5dBbwaXT
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2AYL3JW9Y
"Yeah, for flavor!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f9thT3hQH
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfwTgES5gP
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fuv3IDRxA
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEnsKFfEXW
He grabbed a tomato—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqsZ3RzaD8
And sliced the cutting board in half.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU4Mw3cQ3x
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vq1jMCipc
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4lXUgUGBm
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcf20JlnOA
One second later—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpLRJFh4Tn
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEmAtPuUBX
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSXOy4LGB8
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi4aMkh61w
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBxDjN3gAO
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WNtchRulW
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylzywoEcrZ
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5gDvbm7b8
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9AzMtYgF9
JJ read it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJserWkQVE
It said:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqztKzDgWm
"Guy wants food."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGfYnrNwFl
JJ SNAPPED.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPoahHrsXl
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZE102kDxt
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcP4D1d2ay
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn8maz2F2c
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeydobnVNK
He picked up a garbage bag—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY14WHsQdTt
And threw it through a restaurant window.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoIZaNLUzA
JJ screa
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1qlPHA52k
med.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mYEvYim0S
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfsiYYRI5S
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDue15Z4lQc
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDu8bs6Wj1
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡait3uqp2Ub
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgGArfzkZc
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWFzFgOpcY
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8diag5o1d
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfKOewIEt
