At the beginning of the Phantom Beast, I led the crew to subvert the top

“Kronos, are you lazy?”

On the second floor of the tavern, there is a small bedroom

A little girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, with her hands on her waist, said to Kronos in the room with some annoyance.

In the face of the little girl’s rebuke, Kronos did not pay attention to it.

Instead, he responded gently.

“I’ll go down in a moment.”

Listening to Kronos’s gentle voice, the little girl was also stunned for a while.

Originally, she thought of taking this opportunity to scold Kronos and suppress his ‘arrogance’.

But now Kronos’s gentle attitude made her suddenly not know what to say.

After hesitating for a long time, the girl snorted stubbornly and coldly.

“Hmph! You better hurry! ”

After that, the girl ignored Kronos, turned around and left the room.

Watching the girl leave, Kronos did not make a sound.

After a moment, Kronos whispered to himself.

“System, open the Properties panel.”

【Ding! The panel is open. 】

[Host]: Kronos

Prestige Value: 80

[Ability]: None

[Convening Members]: None

[Possession]: Devil Fruit *1

【Entrance to the prize pool”

].

Looking at this own panel, which only has a prestige value of 80, Kronos’s heart is a little complicated.

“Isn’t there any change today?”

“It’s been more than a week…”

Muttering, Kronos stood up, left the room, and went downstairs.

As soon as he reached the corner of the stairs, Kronos saw the tavern counter.

The little girl who had gone upstairs to find herself was hit on the head by a knife.

“Boom!”

“Oops!”

The little girl exhaled with a headache, and complained with tears in her eyes.

“Mother, why did you hit me?”

Erica, the tavern owner, glared at the little girl.

“Honestly, did you just bully Kronos again?”

The little girl tilted her head a little weakly and muttered in a low voice.

“I…. I didn’t tell him to get up…”

Erica raised her eyebrows, a little displeased.

“Is there anyone who calls people out of bed like you do?” I heard it all. ”

Saying that, Erica raised her hand to give the little girl’s head again.

At this moment, Kronos’s voice came.

“Good morning, Auntie.”

Hearing this sudden sound, Erica and the little girl both subconsciously turned their heads to look.

I saw that Kronos had already gone downstairs and walked towards them with a smile on his face.

As soon as she saw Kronos, the little girl immediately snorted unhappily.

“Hmph!”

It’s good that she didn’t hum, as soon as she hummed, Erica immediately became angry.

The hand knife that had been stopped hit her little head again.

“Boom!”

“Oops.” The little girl exhaled again.

Then came Erica’s displeased voice.

“While playing.”

The little girl muttered, but did not dare to resist, so she had to leave the counter with a smile.

Kronos, who saw this scene, did not say anything out loud.

He could have said a few nice words for the little girl.

But he didn’t.

Because he understands that this will only be counterproductive.

Saying a few good words for the little girl will make Erica feel that she is good, kind, and her likability to herself rises.

But in the same way, she will again blame the little girl for the wrong behavior.

And the little girl will resent herself even more.

This is not what Kronos wanted to see.

It was morning, there were no guests yet, and the tavern seemed a little quiet.

Kronos came to the front desk, silently wiped his wine glass, and helped Erica with some chores.

At this time, Erica couldn’t help but sigh and said to Kronos.

“Tina, this child is still young and does not understand things, don’t take what she says to heart.”

Hearing this, Kronos smiled and said.

“No, don’t worry, Auntie.”

Listening to this, Erica fell silent for a while.

Erica also wanted to comfort Kronos.

She felt that she had a lot to say to Kronos, but now she didn’t know how to speak.

There was silence for a long moment before she said something.

“Just make this your home.”

Hearing this, Kronos just smiled and answered.

“Hmm.”

More than a month ago, Kronos crossed into this world.

At that time, Kronos was in a situation where he was almost starving to death.

It was the owner of the tavern, and Erica gave him a bowl of rice and kindly took him in.

Therefore, for Tina’s previous rebuke, Kronos will not take it to heart.

Even if Tina overdid it, Kronos wouldn’t be angry.

First, because at this moment, he sent people under the fence, and he was not qualified.

The second is because Kronos has long regarded Tina as his sister.

Of course, the matter of treating Tina as her own sister.

Kronos didn’t mention it to Erica either.

Because of this, it will only make Erica’s liking for herself rise.

In the present, there is no point in just saying it, it depends on the reality of doing so.

Therefore, there was no need to mention and inform Erica about this matter.

PS: Dear readers, please be sure to read the author’s words below.

At this time, the protagonist sends people under the fence, and the need for external exacerbation is paved.

So the protagonists of chapters 1 and 2 will look a little suffocated.

But trust the author, who will never write about abuse.

The protagonist behind is definitely a ruthless enough and sharp enough existence, and will not hold back even the slightest bit.

Chapters 1 and 2 are the foreshadowing of the plot.

In chapters 3 and 4, the protagonist begins to rise.

Chapters 5 and 6 go straight to takeoff.
