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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j02jgjBx1
"Wow! This water’s so clean I could drink it!" Eleo said, leaning over. He paused. "Wait… would I drown if I tried?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvWGCW82oJ
He scratched his head, deeply pondering this important scientific question when—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPXwmo8yGR
"HALT!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCdANaPyvM
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQS6pBvt0F
"Yo! Can I go into Lola Island?" Eleo asked, waving casually.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuxAmpCzvU
The first guard furrowed his brows. "The city is called Umapin. Lola Island is the name of the island itself."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmD8MI2SIFQ
"Ohhh," Eleo nodded sagely. "Wait, but the map only said Lola Island—"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCz6STQFrG
"Yeah, we know," the second guard sighed. "Tourists keep getting confused, but nobody listens when we try to fix it."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuDyAQBpDR
"That’s dumb," Eleo said bluntly.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlEAQKmn1p
"Right?! That’s what I said!" the second guard blurted before the first guard elbowed him.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6F9fQKhg5
"AHEM. Anyway, state your business," the first guard said, crossing his arms.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGYadPaW2L
Eleo grinned. "I’m here to eat food, punch people, and become the strongest!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWGUc9hKGG
The second guard blinked. "So… just chaos, then?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPYZY0y2En
"Not just chaos," Eleo corrected. "There’s also food."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFKjeZsbb9
The guards exchanged glances. The first one sighed, already exhausted. "Do you have a passport?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgNBrkaz6i
Eleo froze. "…A what now?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKQLinnuQW
The guards stared at him.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTFaGpoP3X
"You don’t have a passport?" the second guard asked.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqaR4JWXVG
"I don’t even know what that is," Eleo admitted, scratching his head. "Is it a fruit?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaEhOp0EEa
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!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEV2NUGdxw
"But I walked all this way!" Eleo groaned dramatically. "You mean I gotta turn around? That’s so far! My legs are already sore!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVisaTYqK6
"You were literally skipping a second ago," the second guard pointed out.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt1ntP6CLO
Eleo gasped. "YOU WERE WATCHING ME?!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCmfR3E5uU
"Y-you’re literally right in front of us—"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmupYKK0wI3
"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."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRmtDrZ3HW
The first guard’s eye twitched. "Alright, I’m done with this conversation. You’re not getting in."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivNrGY7jz
"But what if I fight my way in?" Eleo grinned.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4UNWc9e7N
"You’d get arrested instantly," the guard deadpanned.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpJU685mdY
"…What if I sneak in?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfUtHWpj7Y
"You just said that out loud in front of two guards."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8z2wvrGPu
"Damn, true," Eleo muttered.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowbyBMp701
The second guard sighed. "Look, if you really need to enter, you’ll have to get permission from the Umapin Embassy."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1bsx0vNR4
"Ohhh, gotcha! Where’s that?" Eleo asked.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw2lCEc5t9
The first guard pointed. "On the other side of the island."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaXs9J4EG1
Eleo’s jaw dropped. "BRO. THAT’S EVEN FARTHER THAN TURNING AROUND!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTRRZ6OtAI
"Not my problem."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcHIrZcaBj
Eleo groaned, dramatically collapsing onto the ground. "This is so much work just to get some food."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupaZpLWHCi
The second guard sighed, rubbing his temples. "Just… just go. I’m already tired of dealing with you."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvpekmIrK2
"Wait, for real?" Eleo perked up.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KMM5D6OzM
"YES, JUST GO BEFORE I CHANGE MY MIND!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fk5Nd5XgN
"AWESOME!" Eleo fist-pumped and ran past them.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxxdpaMERc
The first guard turned to the second, frowning. "Are we gonna get fired for that?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18UdLQG9Qo
The second guard sighed. "At this point? I don’t even care."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEBqZuSWUG
As Eleo ran into the city, he grinned. "Alright! Time to find food!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2sFVXgp2Q
He immediately crashed into a fruit stand, toppling it over.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkBKdUDAI4
"MY CABBAGES!" the vendor screamed.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGOyvo0N5h
Eleo dusted himself off, rubbing the back of his head as the furious vendor picked up his scattered cabbages.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3aq3lGr6J
"Ah, my bad, old man!" Eleo said, waving apologetically. "Didn’t see your stand there!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7529NuSHvO
The vendor scowled, clutching a bruised cabbage. "How do you not see a whole cart, boy?!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArM7eHh4HP
"Uhhh… I was too excited about food?" Eleo grinned sheepishly.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbdAdEM3Gc
The vendor sighed, shaking his head. "Just go before you destroy something else."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvrvQaxX5M
Eleo gave him a thumbs-up. "Will do!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKq7pdHX5E
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyxWpUsvZM
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWQz7YOphS
"OOOH!" Eleo gasped, spinning in circles as he took everything in. "This place is fancy as hell! Look at all this stuff!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtOySPVoR3
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMZEIwXsh5
Eleo scratched his head. "…I think she just called me poor with her eyes."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLYFrdk24q
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnNuisT26y
Eleo grinned. "Alright! First things first—FOOD!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQVlStl200
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzprtssYyH
Eleo practically drooled. "I want ALL OF IT."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oKEdTBlDq
Then, he froze.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dpcwMfevE
Wait.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8GaGYZTMP
His pockets felt suspiciously light.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94nrV1OXSs
He patted himself down, panic creeping onto his face. "No way… NO WAY… I’M BROKE?!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0fPu3Lmp8
A long, dramatic silence followed.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzVZ7uz7vG
Then, Eleo dramatically collapsed onto the ground. "THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1FjyE2Wwc
People around him stared. A mother quickly pulled her child away.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKlBdwgX9Y
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!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZQxTEHKr5
He clenched his fists. "Alright! I gotta find a job!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkgIQvhZmD
A man standing by a nearby food stall overheard and smirked. "Hey, kid! You want a job?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nFbfyqlPY
Eleo perked up. "YES! DO I GET FREE FOOD?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMKsHOJ3SO
The man laughed. "You get a meal after work."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN97lgpgBpa
Eleo grinned. "Deal! What’s the job?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJscoZEQ7j
The man clapped him on the back. "Congrats, kid. You’re now a waiter at The Golden Spoon!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FkJRbz1GO
Eleo blinked. "Wait… I gotta serve people?"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMX4UL4k4H
"Yep! Now put on this apron and get to work!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c5sy1PUJ0
Eleo said, “Well, okay!” as he tied the apron around his waist, completely oblivious to what his actual job was supposed to be.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29EBVcFsXx
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcShAGDRSM
Eleo tried squeezing through the crowd. "Excuse me—pardon me—whoa, nice flip—oof, sorry about your drink—hey, was that a knife?!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKuwLUF5qe
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkfRD6Y3Ym
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—”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJK3keIWII
Eleo, not paying attention, spotted a huge pile of fresh, bright-orange carrots. His stomach grumbled.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH0fZbQC80
“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—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI5evGidAo
“WE NEED CARROTS FOR THE STEW!” a waiter burst into the kitchen.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrPCIA7GhV
Several chefs rushed to the carrot pile, only to freeze in horror.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kN3Jz1YpV
Half the carrots were GONE. And the other half? Bitten. Chewed. Abused.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CpoIjqJ6e
They slowly turned to see Eleo, mouth stuffed like a hamster, chewing innocently.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZwcv8fJsY
He blinked. “Hello.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWkH96bJWV
The entire kitchen exploded.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvVg19eWzT
“YOU IDIOT!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv9f4IufIk
“WHY WOULD YOU EAT THE INGREDIENTS?!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMmGJZWpI2
“SPIT THEM OUT! SPIT THEM OUT NOW!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpYh3JhkVm
Eleo, still chewing, mumbled, “I don’t fink you want ‘em back now.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ4ZXVyZ6H
Then, the bald man—JJ, the legendary head chef—stormed over, veins popping on his forehead. "WHAT’S GOING ON HERE?!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqzjZNS3pI
A terrified chef pointed. “Sir JJ, this moron ate the CARROTS!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmi5pBQxPr
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjuTCVFLgr
Eleo dangled in the air, still munching. “I was hungry.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkAXQpFoPH
JJ’s eyes nearly burst out of his skull. "IS THAT SO?!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiFQM0sIYD
Eleo nodded. “Yup.” Then, realizing something, he beamed. “Ohhh, are you gonna cook me something?!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrY24nTOOs
The entire kitchen fell silent.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGwaURjpHC
JJ’s mustache quivered. His hands shook.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmvSHDoH6x
Then he threw Eleo through the kitchen doors.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAY9llaxQf
Eleo crashed directly into a waiter carrying a tray of food, sending soup, steak, and an entire roasted chicken flying into the air—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUI6rrbQ3G
—Which Eleo instinctively caught in his mouth like a wild animal.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfh6XN8bZyX
The restaurant gasped.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK8qjOwwFZ
Eleo, still chewing, gave a thumbs up. “Mmm. That’s good food.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTICPDiYfe
JJ’s voice BOOMED.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkfcvNM6M4
"GET THIS IDIOT OUT OF MY KITCHEN!!!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y79I5wy7e
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!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLlJWkRQTd
Inside Eleo’s mind: Hahaha! No, I wasn’t!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7cGZA9ba7
JJ narrowed his eyes. “…Fine. But if you mess up again, I’m launching you straight into the ocean.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3qOEp2Cde
Eleo beamed. “Ohhh, I always wanted to be launched into the oce—”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzRfAqSlzm
“SHUT UP AND GET BACK IN THE KITCHEN!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1ZGx4E5Ry
Eleo cheered and sprinted back inside, ready to prove himself.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjImmwS5WEB
JJ sighed, rubbing his temples. “Alright, listen carefully. Do exactly as I say. You are going to make a simple stew. Got it?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QFlo39in2
Eleo saluted. “AYE AYE, CHEF MAN!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGTiuuNJEN
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.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ6tYuC1DM
“Hmmmm… what should I add?”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcipPIlNUwr
He glanced down and—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs31KN2IVeT
GASP!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIbQuZC77t
A dead rat lay on the floor.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXgh2u4tKu
Eleo’s eyes SPARKLED.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoYPJQq6fy
"Perfect!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9g5TxZbR
He scooped up the rat and shoved it into the pot. Then, without measuring anything, he started hurling ingredients in.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJPzDb2cte
"Let’s see… needs salt!" He poured half a barrel of salt.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGFFm2hIBP
"Vinegar!" He dumped in the whole bottle.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCrAoEjb0i
"Water!" He poured dirty dishwater in by accident.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVu9DrO1QfL
"Pepper!" He emptied the entire container.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yXgV6DZhF
"SPICES!" He grabbed random jars and flung them into the pot—glass and all.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlhuwkX0QJ
After a few seconds, the pot looked like a bubbling, black cauldron of doom.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEojnV0pao
Eleo nodded proudly. “Alright, this pot is READY!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NcQBkzTRN
A chef passed by, took one look, and immediately FAINTED.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNj6afngwd
JJ turned around. "Alright, let’s see how you—" He froze. His face turned pale.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY7dhzF1Wy
"…WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPATULA IS THAT?!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfCrYC4dIm
Eleo grinned. “Stew! Try it!” He grabbed a spoon and forced it into JJ’s mouth before he could react.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF32jnjLc0
JJ chewed. He paused. His whole body trembled. His mustache curled up like burnt paper. His soul LEFT his body.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDDZxyg3AG
Then—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kvfDlNG4A
JJ exploded into a FURIOUS RAMPAGE.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBDKYQnKuq
"THAT WASN’T FOOD—THAT WAS POISON!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADpRUdjZ0t
"Well, I am a creative chef," Eleo said, proud.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjBCplzm1L
"YOU PUT A RAT IN IT!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a411c0e9s
"Yeah, for flavor!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQtDYyoQ74
JJ ripped off his chef’s hat and threw it on the ground. "OKAY, NO MORE COOKING! YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING EASY!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2WO1xPJr4
JJ handed Eleo a knife. "Just cut these tomatoes. That’s it."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqfGbxnUuQ
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1fiPCA02r
He grabbed a tomato—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHjpnULi7T
And sliced the cutting board in half.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP1dUPJJaz
JJ’s eye twitched. “…Okay. Maybe that was too hard.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14B1OJTR3H
"Just clean these plates," JJ said. "Don’t break them."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbAieSMgqG
Eleo nodded. “Got it!”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRjhQQVoEU
One second later—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKUfHOQXdy
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HfbvsE7Ch
JJ turned to see Eleo spinning plates like a circus act, except they were all shattering.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe60tkPrnRb
JJ fell to his knees. “I’M GOING TO LOSE MY MIND…”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBClAMZQ6R
JJ handed Eleo a notepad. “Just write down what the customers want. That’s ALL you have to do.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZR2ziniI7
Eleo confidently walked up to a table.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwY59nlyra
The customer said, “I’d like a steak, medium rare, with—”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMftubIt91w
Eleo nodded and walked away before they finished.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXGbXqTjzu
He proudly handed JJ the notepad.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdlpdliVsc
JJ read it.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QbKOZX6yx
It said:
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN0aIJ4O3g
"Guy wants food."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rdrGfVtTL
JJ SNAPPED.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBoz5tLlfD
"THAT’S IT! I’M DONE!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL45FouLn2
JJ grabbed Eleo by the collar and dragged him to the back alley.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNe3D1Qc3y
"Since you’re USELESS, you can at least take out the garbage."
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp402HcXbh
Eleo crossed his arms. “Pfft, fine. I can handle that.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjVIkiNYJq
He picked up a garbage bag—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6MPLo8BP9
And threw it through a restaurant window.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi5hit38Mb
JJ screa
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhWPrn5o3i
med.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCYqpqDsUT
"THAT’S IT! YOU’RE OUTTA HERE!!!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOmC4CjxTU
He grabbed Eleo back inside, opened the back door—
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLKdaXHHNJ
And KICKED HIM so hard he flew into a pile of trash.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e7CA5ITau
The entire kitchen staff poked their heads out.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQgBdfM5Nx
JJ took a deep breath and bellowed:
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfuWO8gxdY
"NEVER COME BACK!!!"
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLUqwF4lYx
Eleo groaned, sitting up in the trash pile.
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuSv4NUQz7
“…Man. That was the best job I ever had.”
52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQX4yZtizs
