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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0glNP27v1
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwGvDtGXMa
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbrCvGUtDg
"HALT!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEgOnnmT7P
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOgvHuClY0
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1xCoJYA4j
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoZryWQvj5
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2syBax1bG7
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyXn76DwHr
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrywEOThuj
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUT2pZtTbU
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8LTsgZHhU
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7uyu698Gm
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdgffbMvxE
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Yu4S0TA3
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmaHu2cpsQ
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcO0lnPqlJ
The guards stared at him.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQGyuFBXcR
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx241IvwmRS
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33RXwKx3C9
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!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuWBuM6vpO
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRcp4ArTX3
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn9UVRDSV4
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydllxhC2hi
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpMWX1cSnC
"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."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkAtS8vymR
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZH505WiY
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGmBGP0Vj3
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtgAnoY8Hs
"…What if I sneak in?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv1cpI7Fnh
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ329rLCr3Im
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtanX2US8I
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFIvtJjlhL
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uoIp6Besi
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxUDPh7MxF
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshC8X9oyDJ
"Not my problem."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCPRHEYlQq
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdD3dRXfRG
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqagMTVbnGd
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A13rzTAju
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0VNOm5FOJ
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m3XYEOd2J
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt6fcxNes1
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpyvwVQiVF
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hyZLgm0Se
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzhQdUl0fJ
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjidjI6Jcs8
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw69VOFQLuY
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JPMqgY8uk
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNbucMwjtB
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXyJTbQOO8
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc8ydXaRbS
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfzEXqZPKP
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY9bFFvy0n
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZvu5xeclI
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPut8kHBTp
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSY7nkWFAl
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0XgFUTqSg
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDL2P6BLa6
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrm05sGe5Y
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzBu9uloey
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q3nAXBf0B
Then, he froze.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c0cQeOxtG
Wait.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6EhgA0dFj
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLrLlOIw7G
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83QLy4RqdG
A long, dramatic silence followed.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbALWV1VAK
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYdUqJ424u
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlorkkftnI
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!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDrX3GGZgt
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd9XGL1AvO
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ueNCNomWG
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOt4LCgJdD
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC4HKkhNop
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkwm7Y7Rxq
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAh6pNqdWk
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQMwn3F7YJ
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB86C4O8IHu
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExSYkKrXxR
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqibH6alBQk
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcOIFLiS7e
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmyTQ400E8
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—”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvncvIPkBOH
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMNZqQ9x0G
“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—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN2V5JPEPP
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvmCwEPQkx
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2ubz3sfI
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesiWst6DJ6
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hVLjpa0ac
He blinked. “Hello.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3nh6Niv4E
The entire kitchen exploded.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYv6uWwrqI
“YOU IDIOT!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UW1as7H9b
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPPg8rPIG6
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX9tUDTuPh
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmDaPCZB7C
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyBqervgjJ
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0iuPv62CR
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHjpizfbP8
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXshRuTjPWl
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgFS5AeUHw
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBFxcXhAT0
The entire kitchen fell silent.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XrtzuwvmU
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iw4iaWk0E
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVkGWRj7Gr
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZfFgnPSa7
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrvnkwc5qS
The restaurant gasped.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSOyM8DnsG
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fWlghkx9E
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwtrjiRzBZ
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NSbpt6Pyn
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!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxhLOAkSTr
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQQLvZ5yvM
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcU1rt4AWk
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jpx6e7lDr
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYlcZtGbyZ
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVAAlUD94M
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JOCPamTv9
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisvszdEMU8
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.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIfmsSHpJd
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskP6UAHIPM
He glanced down and—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrLgYMq0rk
GASP!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8KjiSyFCI
A dead rat lay on the floor.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsysxAcOxBY
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SI0Vs1Xfu
"Perfect!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ubi2xwUt9
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ6yNR84i0
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYehC7Pt9N
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z3uL3bkTd
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAtfFEGi0j
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJWrUW2wwL
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN5pcZqwie
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTStWyIG2BY
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmr4YNDjPz
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHPeVf27sI
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptPBialGvm
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWGImFYoZ1
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHlozTigm5
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPtPZOPj2x
Then—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFgaN3xrMH
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aUjLOjUcq
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvEeSu3GAg
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KApeOYFE6
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCr4xdexkd
"Yeah, for flavor!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms1stYz1tv
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCehiMauEc
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGj9vp8jw74
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa0ZiopghT
He grabbed a tomato—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hOvyT1Yrl
And sliced the cutting board in half.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyZJBi9tqN
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyghiwuV1Mg
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V4qqPYxV9
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUIqYrdsWu
One second later—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDNhObBfZM
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G0DPW9NzA
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkLedeKVel
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5WIxaLvOQ
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPM9dzlrv3
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ9tkYcMwa
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxGxZrSfNG
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVA284szKQS
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgyx94zq4r
JJ read it.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB2CzgUZVF
It said:
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb9w8N48dr
"Guy wants food."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsr5jquWcU
JJ SNAPPED.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj9gJwuBmI
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2vjNxGZfL
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzOQYFDMFe
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlU9LfdmMf
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OgdB76ChW
He picked up a garbage bag—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClf6RVWcRb
And threw it through a restaurant window.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMjHWUOJLZ
JJ screa
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaLl6qhh1p
med.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8ge6pxtgd
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI5ONLUkoG
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdhIOs5tkK
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblFeETMuMM
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVH69PbguzC
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgxb6ZeOcR
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Koogfqc0x
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzdvKNlkdJ
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
154Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwLjPUUB9n
