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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYDZUNc0fI
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaH351lBEz
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLoQBMg59k
"HALT!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fHXsY6MKW
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfQRDUbTPs
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VuFHxAfnm
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5itykciWt
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJDyKFxqO6
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1NIoL2rnr
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvludP3V7PQ
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBecvs12tFi
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4bwXXcBmZ
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsp8yF4mrF
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCittQa5qi6
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraWEsigbyQ
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLbcRlIeiu
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSaUVwfDzw
The guards stared at him.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH7tNGjpuk
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl8niiLJvb
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lhtlyZA9B
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!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8jQrnPE2R
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8WbVJ2F8j
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvZjmmB9k8
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDmErahBEZ
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs1SPBs5yz
"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."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpy4CVErRv
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiySz1stDps
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqldfhyxgS
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4zGQGLMIb
"…What if I sneak in?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cusakqSJj
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAib19o17f
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ouXJZ6KC7
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCG5v53K9z
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyi6dy6dPo
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wjzPwUP1C
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLBGlKgtm1
"Not my problem."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx49J281plE
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4I3gqbc70
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJB11FJkLT
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRfEjU8ZGN
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKafoEcEWbC
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32eyfV0lAw
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXIIswVbKu
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ350QYMTi5V
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7MEjIXhRd
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oPNX0NqsQ
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKgondd23t
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT0NGRro2t
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ZZLtZbCe
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E5YarZNzt
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uV8hNG8zH
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UQHC8LVir
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BMxDDyEEo
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOffXr0JQX
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RbxNb0SJt
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8RgzNnRry
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEvMQ11xBd
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWBEOXdgCa
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxCbnZRL7W
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybGYHcQvFJ
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwszFYIB29v
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpJeHAui5m
Then, he froze.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qMnphhzDz
Wait.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJYXqM7YAg
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMV7Yi6WkE
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4XZWbhUPR
A long, dramatic silence followed.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehLXh1m9tO
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMStlYrieBX
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy03thAHOhV
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!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj1y9o3vAF
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF1i7aVNGj
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK7bvwfQQo
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFn1PHNm6Y
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbIL9WpIFN
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozxJIuuKNr
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytYSi36Do5
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4IyZsyNIW
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8F6AcptLR
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g9TofCojO
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj5Y00ZeYb
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQC1eTgC6o
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KmpAlnsYx
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—”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKafEVbnr
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Q4Tw9c1X
“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—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsIE6kmgxz
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMYrsPWQx1
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8vHbcLEb3
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBphyla4MQ
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhztxGrJpO
He blinked. “Hello.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iJm17D4e9
The entire kitchen exploded.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirDldHIJuP
“YOU IDIOT!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoiRTxSagb
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOMOo6dkPT
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB3nmgusAy
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR3CKYHsrt
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7SRw3cSp5
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFEaivJAZ5
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OB3CHEkKd
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFP1KQ9cme
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklrSyrFoHA
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡButQeczCAg
The entire kitchen fell silent.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOBiBKl0L8
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLaCPQ3XaS
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q6JBBmQbX
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN8rvnqS3K
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj7nvlZs7B
The restaurant gasped.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwiMASc3GX
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfogCPORKV
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzikfUCUj62
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3kB1VC5cs
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!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN8eQgnbOo
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYrSTCM4Sy
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7q6FlG8yUs
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxuk4VFar2
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3sGNesrHl
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVyiCBG91W
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmT3jT1TJP
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7SteQsn5Q
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.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUfWs3xGJ4
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiQI5Ifk20
He glanced down and—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkmRSO99gl
GASP!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy26Cjzkxf
A dead rat lay on the floor.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl9f1cYhJa
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyQfE092xM
"Perfect!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQS9zyZs8kh
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1viH8QDr84
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ehhRnbx1
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WTYMOdUjz
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnnfq2aphE
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUgBbPLQa3
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3lCyFXQdA
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRJFPqNRts
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJe0QxwX1Z
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOujajQRsJs
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0giR7kCUV
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCLkH17gOU
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuztq2pFGhr
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7SAhjeF4c
Then—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYudPZDD0r
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcw2PxIubn
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnX9FZJ8qp
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Tlp987Bs8
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJwHhf9nzl
"Yeah, for flavor!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7sjbcORIV
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ToCZ4Wel8
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzM4qKXWmp
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfKcU3oCH0
He grabbed a tomato—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHnRMkb0FN
And sliced the cutting board in half.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nwCNXHqaf
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOrL30ubJC
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMngT6XzfsW
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHidkjW67IL
One second later—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGgaUFvrTM
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVuRawoR48
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKJ7kV3OmQ
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAckiwHlzr
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3IfjKnNtl
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorZxCy8TOI
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZo1jEVVCA
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKGOBvNdBo
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J4dASHeny
JJ read it.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49WgmnFXC7
It said:
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Kt9yYl2i
"Guy wants food."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQj4VAmTLY
JJ SNAPPED.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUf19NuzZn
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlxAmq7bvK
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDHWF5n9zq
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdVzK1qVkp
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoUe3xdT1n
He picked up a garbage bag—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoA2LcQ09d
And threw it through a restaurant window.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlsV2u5oEW
JJ screa
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWcURWfBSn
med.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEmpfvyvFG
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehyAwtWMLs
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3p7EFn6Cb
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0oYuBjbh8
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8T6j0Dgee
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKeEjnQn2h
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA9TI8gxrE
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEvm1FfJGK
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
56Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL8BSoCIfB
