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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDvlSoMhkm
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN3gAS4ydk
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIbg1VFpkX
"HALT!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdUt2Azrlt
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3zY7xtli5
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qA1r1pzBc
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnQSrXICRX
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaErVuyHBfK
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aiJDtbmPt
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Gq1UIl6U
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNWbrcf2rF
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0mu76vG5q
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcbhNv6sRG
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocNtlh1rAe
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibuvKNp0ll
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOCHUle9Bq
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv12P4jJuqJ
The guards stared at him.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQKjxEXaVI
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOeNd0ySuL
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQANino2hy8
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!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMTHTTOwo7
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUZlmMZ6ZF
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7bwjuj1GI
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0T18HomMK
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz1zLjusdk
"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."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQR5lJITWdB
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRlsZsqvQN
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RpWG3yfIh
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SXQmv79lQ
"…What if I sneak in?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0nclGeQ3l
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKThBYQ3Mq
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgytMdyCRdi
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZsxdxRPh5
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpBx0ltpSo
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DbXGQ0M9X
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uW85jRjfi
"Not my problem."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VbdwDFJ6y
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclCHnGI3Qh
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiwZLqxkxQ
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd9zDBBafL
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv7D0DImBC
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTL5eHYo5o
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQf1hKmYb
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpccTDsYBdq
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TrFgHmF1N
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH4HvPwXvJ
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGv0BqCWN4t
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoRxMxHBhU
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2wCGwa9mJ
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPYQEh4G4M
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv02nEnJP7
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcLUqUOmrD
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKenianpdF
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvFBn9PQTl
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMMlQPqB9W
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgIcEAQVsp
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SgTkXrPKr
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmIN5fPc04
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfakbFpw1I
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrQzpbg7wX
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EowRXM176
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m0Cmq15Yc
Then, he froze.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSJ74Zzo3W
Wait.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAXMEHFtLd
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDshliklPA
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAiiUvexvY
A long, dramatic silence followed.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJI8fJB69k
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRJiUYkREK
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPpuHT6aOz
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!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwSXD3hS3
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN9FXUqCdI
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OEqqiEWoH
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QgjlrTxvH
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2cOWua6XJ
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBl9cs3v4r
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUWIEi2ely
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36S0hYs7Dp
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5qBIF1tiS
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ylz9DHm2Q
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxiEfjkEP
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z0vJYrL60
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjDKXdF5n9
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—”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYnP3v64Si
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqq9YP8PKu
“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—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGRaYfQFTL
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhBIhUDqlU
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ365kvkzRvu
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEGTcghzoE
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhb5nWnNi
He blinked. “Hello.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfvW0Fk5Uf
The entire kitchen exploded.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxEquiT9zB
“YOU IDIOT!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgEuAgmPTH
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThWNL20WNS
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwD8o5hnxs
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZ0Qsk6ZQm
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kAAINfsOV
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDQ41Mlwb7
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcnmbuutrj
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4HB3w040v
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dEAi8KORY
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe2tref8BH
The entire kitchen fell silent.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5udse8CtH
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZEyzW9jSv
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezYz54aP2a
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX0AfSo2fn
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacqyE44sIa
The restaurant gasped.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1d2VohiVl
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCtkWsO2ge
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCaei9Jnx8
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpqAFa1jPK
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!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BToSMHUn4
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrQgWUxVe1
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRHRhdH0fh
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FfnQDESud
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOMQlTPDG2
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSMWhTV7qC
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyIRoAaHeX
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM7IWN5acR
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKwwXKo3XM
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zouVq7Qvu
He glanced down and—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYbqzd0nHb
GASP!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhqGYQq4ol
A dead rat lay on the floor.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGgf2UvxFH
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvHC9vBLju
"Perfect!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvqvKNayiH
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcNr5wdRw5
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4p0gTNqKg
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTSVVqxnXd
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UUsGqUzaD
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SL9q2xeQT
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dZfLwMhcH
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sXmOXUtlD
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUSWpfBf1L
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fl46zunOs
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQsiiFEq5V
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyyvaKPLcA
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAt74UnutV
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5eGjSf9Rs
Then—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslWansyFb9
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlCjgFvEqg
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXTKQ0Meen
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7uTPlbH79
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41aTXui3bo
"Yeah, for flavor!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBtHkiemGV
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOafJVU9mc
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnybyqHabeL
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhIlaB37AE
He grabbed a tomato—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPcsekceyK
And sliced the cutting board in half.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XzEYkJ2k3
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcZfbJUelI
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms5Jqm0TNk
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UkD2Ha7IY
One second later—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGsFuyVkMQ
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZhh7yiliU
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZRlgaUwtk
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MEYuX27tI
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeytI5BZG8
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrXM2bLUeC
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtfKSLefb8
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nOAWw0NO8
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud7u1yOyny
JJ read it.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Ip8SDGHP
It said:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKt6HG1YPk
"Guy wants food."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDA9COAqOG
JJ SNAPPED.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuotGfp49X
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa9m3Eget2
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwFofxjkDD
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiEfMOV0LM
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk7EVzaIil
He picked up a garbage bag—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fmmSThVru
And threw it through a restaurant window.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaHcesGaB2
JJ screa
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kWOdlsAO0
med.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEzdw0vObI
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡual2altFLv
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfjYec2XfW
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ose5DTg92
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMVUQ2K8p2
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0SRIItMLQ
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75JLI1jAxw
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbY9zSwsyN
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoSvBhPYOi
