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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7cDLVFfcW
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpFJaiNe9e
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjRStSI8DW
"HALT!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJ9Te2a60s
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTu752DgHE
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU8peQddFQ
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAboy7xrla
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquBlEumzN8
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizvLxO9yj6
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPGgtRwgbs
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarrhBWO4Ol
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pg8pJvguw
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3nbZc61gc
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWtoNe8Sjt
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6tB9sUDFP
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYGzKuDgGL
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJnid0cciN
The guards stared at him.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjauD9Kvaz
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnMFhJVqqo
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8COdLbQC0
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!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcrcPiysvS
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPVCqa2jGr
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVK4Fs8W9q
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJpVTTYu7D
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJQOeO4eZ3
"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."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8zkkiPSdJ
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9CQv7jSjM
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1mNTCx2oO
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgLhyHsr62
"…What if I sneak in?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGtRZNZodS
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCewMcepWmP
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJsTpYJd8S
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBNQapn828
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL70uRAVlWC
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxk9GCsU2UC
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Df4yQkRDo
"Not my problem."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKEA8CTmmz
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJiEdqNeaT
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UWivDCuSm
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9IGzcGTXm
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwH069jj2g
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4Yi8kItID
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEUX621Qbh
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvQU7bOxak
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIrQN3ltzj
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZSKWmHQGr
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtnKt6s2kw
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLU81ThBGj
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmlWQe201t
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUElejSQEak
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FrImna5rh
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFsEoLihwf
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVuNg0iiZH
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxpvfo4rG6
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKYwPoCu9O
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia7Z7UghuK
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxdIQNQq8J
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JBZerefCz
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaDagJmrwa
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAvc3kwmwH
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcQBUYiROP
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQM423oVGQ
Then, he froze.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfh9GlvOXX
Wait.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0YYYGPhna
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC6eca6BNx
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14cm3a2hFa
A long, dramatic silence followed.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsnuzCBA2m
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl1yqpyGWB
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGath7eurcY
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!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JyBlFK1Pi
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrtcI9cxEJ
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZVKJrjRF1
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2RJCV8ZCQ
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1fWZEzFD3
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYNUKRPyvM
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9yDptCNCW
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItUkehJDpV
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeC1RnQ8em
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoDlQSUPik
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyFDP10H1c
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGMG7fOlc
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv38ny8zdY
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—”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6zknpypjH
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5bGnJPLFe
“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—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsAke99Acx
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCIS4vbzAa
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GZlOr94GH
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDkbCJPZCk
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2bnVmc7mQ
He blinked. “Hello.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1qibCHfim
The entire kitchen exploded.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1m92nQSUG
“YOU IDIOT!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuES4OKNbu
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl8JelUmt0
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbes1knqdTe
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJkRiJDCx2
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMzjMj79NY
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQl0moMcS0
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlqzd7uQeI
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tUfDg5dvM
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xLDLTceep
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NPre5Ytqo
The entire kitchen fell silent.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTu3WFRygJ
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiwGrUMRek
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KDLYuMFkP
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqVQzjAl9R
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pOa0vYgwZ
The restaurant gasped.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0qwtJ3HmX
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEEFY5bSim
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcmCRivAT0
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoxpp14N8S
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!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNZlgb9oVU
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQJsjm4sYP
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWneDYNAwB
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WCDWbMNlv
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPTyAaTrTN
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcisNYIdAd
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxldfEneBO
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YeEXWOleH
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.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j7oKt75xL
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpMp6tYVY4
He glanced down and—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7mhppXJ32
GASP!
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5awjwaKVK8
A dead rat lay on the floor.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPkJQDzmNb
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnawHF2knx
"Perfect!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbODwYjzgh
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhitM0dLoF
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1l42XiMDY
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MOinLAlcI
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcUf4ZirjA
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWGVqXgWt5
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aeywco2wP
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPenwT9Nm1
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly71uYyAPl
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFLqZ2AWu5
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhGD5bWKFK
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju5es15eWC
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WtIhg33gd
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7PJlzjFVy
Then—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQkUUDs4td
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvr8xBzYP9
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSs2Q8bPNR
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb18nb7z3Sa
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZdn8194RO
"Yeah, for flavor!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqoXD23Afy
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xYzfCyxgb
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjoBqKBbtJ
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cS96XQ4KD
He grabbed a tomato—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjWcNq01Hi
And sliced the cutting board in half.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMonKEFRhr
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaDPEI4zlF
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKGIoUMRsU
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzRc4HEWwa
One second later—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8RRWFne4N
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8JlUvk6Qn
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQeRSAUfOy
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJibxt6D9M
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H8JFNOCBn
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8crlwsVWQ
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5VSZML9z6
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm3RxpMsyZ
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pmwZ1zuLh
JJ read it.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw6AMIRMj4
It said:
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMoBQou35O
"Guy wants food."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVYbDzRujz
JJ SNAPPED.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJt7kzesda
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXX47RWb3K
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E5Id4Wvd6
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4q0I2kYwd
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwkeJOs7d4
He picked up a garbage bag—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIweNK16rf8
And threw it through a restaurant window.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRZRxbwewf
JJ screa
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU57AT1cS0s
med.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX2h6gxbiy
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl39PhhrEH
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBQ5juim3e
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3PgYLSYVv
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir11sUUyrA
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC4ZhsROak
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYIQ8ZCAvO
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPVNVX6ajc
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
156Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpHZMGc7rv
