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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhEgA3o1RV
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTV1WGffU0
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbTWRjH0yz
"HALT!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gK32ftRzT
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM2Gxq18j2
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtivZR8EVE
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuyX2JY0uo
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOkCZgua4H
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvAWFQkZMR
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsAht0g18C
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdknFcbEqXu
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8MlMRgXJc
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDReRfAk7S
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgrNEcnsZn
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmivUquD2Iq
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0KYeA0AH1
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ536CE2vFG3
The guards stared at him.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYye2BUJJvp
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BYOTkLvh9
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNFAR05XTw
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!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxtl88FB3u
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjCq4365iZ
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7WBS9Qzgr
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzKOdMHKI5
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMor61xelV
"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."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCR0OzPs8i
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmAazKKGXN
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWtnycL8WJ
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdMIDVXbbZ
"…What if I sneak in?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsZRXLpPCg
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI1hBCesBb
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr3nOV3hfI
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqLT2Oqjbd
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXepypIUKY
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s5pueiyTR
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c2EdUtbLC
"Not my problem."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0vJ9AVzzg
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dzmg2dUyn
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJXiHfzDXZ
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvP8HIqNOe
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7irjmpisQ
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Epxaoiuv
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkoMjAcrZi
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwhpADtsYP
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPyYqkVc9V
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZx91JsfDz
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mJyyfDmUQ
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2TykIvB25
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hBtdWk0pK
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4gCLppVWY
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Yh9R8kWz
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KuHtofnwT
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcalnGlWPUS
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPzfwiLAqa
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQqB5hq8co
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOLuLAxVQb
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwB9lrxiek
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPRPDSAx9o
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJ4otHvge
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYESUvCVUDl
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6cSPDCW9c
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThol42cuoJ
Then, he froze.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEMFVr9BJV
Wait.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5plAozQjY
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iA7ybnHXs
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxPg16D8Sq
A long, dramatic silence followed.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8NYSTMCY6
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDXaY6Lnon
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYce68gpegC
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!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU3n33aVMJ
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6GBNywZHE
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNf3rMvtqt
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqogQgtI6y
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSwpMpFBxj
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruNzuBLgS0
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS88VNhjcAx
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezz3IfUD7B
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBhI6FgtuM
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgfvUx1sOc
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh28q92CvX2
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdvoJ8nFwb
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G7JhC6tHi
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—”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVuCxiGDza
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtHRDaTF7K
“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—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNrolRqIlN
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJa7NudiIZ
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8kZ4gtkey
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbpgmE9tPR
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLsty2xbcV
He blinked. “Hello.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql4Vse8zLm
The entire kitchen exploded.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCjSwULcQm
“YOU IDIOT!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN8VcGMwVV
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxTN7EMyr4
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWKyB7zdFN
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGiRTB4qfK
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT2DFwLAnQ
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9XJc61ccz
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc5XTj12Cb
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JoYS6nNdf
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9hXDDRwDA
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJRuMWbtji
The entire kitchen fell silent.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLMgYLAP98
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNO3fMCcnJ
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEoAeMqtJg
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZfoIiAkfO
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5uMelHEiL
The restaurant gasped.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDetsmEo0I7
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzj4zXvugS
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTMu6ivx14
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZuYlY9YpX
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!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxFusvgQyF
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVBgooU3pL
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOmDYdpw3m
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb7EjBItW4
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaCP9uSO7Q
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoCw5SAndz
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hUZ6dbNqf
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvvA6eO4f
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aNELdrhxi
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38Pt8y2lD0
He glanced down and—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYVoKc4CcO
GASP!
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtOe0LuLIY
A dead rat lay on the floor.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3viLuCHpmp
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrW85orD9i
"Perfect!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DFtAEcX6M
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wiV49Qi3C
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UE1okZXKi
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZnK81LaGp
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1L5FwKySz
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8JOmNEMA2
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaqlhy3pgp
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA6FfdviDH
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuASJWyS9O
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUc4BPsHSh
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oa4OATGoI
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhj3W79gxpa
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9z7wjQOec
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5k1QdXT0N
Then—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg5YQMNW6u
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB4Sky6DGG
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h2qGVFn3l
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3IKoPcyZO
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq7pIq0UCT
"Yeah, for flavor!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXSaK4vCp
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpRrhugKK0
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTG8SXsnj4
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0NNK7caic
He grabbed a tomato—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yWeUz2oTt
And sliced the cutting board in half.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XFVE42iek
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qpoIfhUhW
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtK8ll1zJC
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjSA1zPGn3
One second later—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbfMCnL2kR
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Im9wXdp0
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5K1l9b6PR
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6sW2z38Ol
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQbV5fOsMw
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuqEIk9Jdu
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg05KNjHGT
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPNRltuw47
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJhlLPkT2
JJ read it.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQG0Ztf7QRb
It said:
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxprpVoiUUr
"Guy wants food."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KlLeGjDBw
JJ SNAPPED.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33LUDqn23D
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBXl7khtu4
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YKjoth6j6
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiMhBcztFg
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKn9wkMaoM
He picked up a garbage bag—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mjRIqMKLF
And threw it through a restaurant window.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQJLj19iaz
JJ screa
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIacsWP7x9
med.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBunLYg9s1
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡartqKifZdK
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaCg0jDC6h
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoiosPbwb4
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNTtqpR54E
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH7prCryg2
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWASdujYEP
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfAqHa1gyx
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqitJDbQMi
