NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1 Have you ever called some1 to wake up like that!
"Kronos, are you being lazy?"
On the second floor of the tavern, in a small bedroom
A little girl about twelve or thirteen years old, with her hands on her waist, said angrily to Kronos in the room.
In the face of the little girl's rebuke, Kronos didn't take it to heart.
Instead, he responded mildly.
"I'll be down in a minute."
Hearing Kronos' gentle voice, the little girl was stunned for a while.
Originally, she was thinking of taking this opportunity to scold Kronos and suppress his 'arrogant arrogance'.
But now, with Kronos' gentle attitude, she suddenly didn't know what to say.
After hesitating for a while, the girl stubbornly snorted.
"Humph! You better hurry up!"
With that, the girl ignored Kronos, turned and left the room.
Watching the girl leave, Kronos said nothing.
After a moment, Kronos whispered to himself.
"System, open the properties panel."
【Ding! Panel is open. 】
【Host】： Kronos
【Prestige】: 80
[Ability]: None
【Convening members】: None
【Possession】: Devil Fruit*1
【Entrance to Prize Pool】》》】
Looking at his own panel, there was only a prestige value of 80, and Kronos' heart was a little complicated.
"Is there no change today?"
"More than a week..."
Whispering, Kronos stood up, left the room, and went downstairs.
Just around the corner of the stairs, Kronos saw the tavern counter.
The little girl who went upstairs to find her earlier was hit on the head with a knife by her mother.
"Boom!"
"oops!"
The little girl hugged her head and let out a cry, complaining with tears in her eyes.
"Mother, why are you hitting me?"
The tavern owner Erica glared at the little girl.
"Be honest, did you just bully Kronos again?"
The little girl turned her head in a guilty conscience and whispered softly.
"I...I didn't call him to get up..."
Erica frowned, a little unhappy.
"Did you call someone out of bed like that? I heard them all."
Saying that, Erica raised her hand to give the little girl's head again.
Just then, Kronos' voice came.
"Good morning, Auntie."
Hearing the sudden voice, Erica and the little girl turned their heads subconsciously.
I saw that Kronos had come downstairs and walked towards them with a smile on his face.
As soon as she saw Kronos, the little girl snorted unhappily.
"Humph!"
It's okay if she doesn't hum, Erica immediately gets angry when she hums.
The knife that had stopped originally hit her in the head again.
"Boom!"
"Ouch." The little girl exclaimed again.
What followed was Erica's displeased voice.
"Just play."
The little girl muttered, but didn't dare to resist, so she left the counter embarrassed.
Kronos, who saw this scene, didn't say anything.
He could have said something nice to the little girl.
But he didn't.
Because he understands that this will only backfire.
Saying a few kind words to the little girl will make Erica feel good and kind, and her favorability will increase.
But at the same time, she will accuse the little girl of the wrong behavior again.
And the little girl will hate herself even more.
That's not what Kronos wants to see.
It was morning, and there were no guests yet, so the tavern seemed a little quiet.
Kronos came to the front desk, wiped the glass silently, and helped Erica with some chores.
At this time, Erica sighed and said to Kronos.
"Hina is still young and ignorant. Don't take her words to heart."
Hearing this, Kronos smiled.
"No, don't worry, Auntie."
Hearing this, Erica fell silent for a while.
Erica was still trying to console Kronos.
She felt like she had a lot to say to Kronos, but now she didn't know how to say it.
After a long silence, she said a word.
"Just treat this place as your own home."
Hearing this, Kronos just smiled and responded.
"Um."
More than a month ago, Kronos crossed into this world.
At that time, Kronos was almost starved to death from the beginning.
The owner of this tavern, Erica gave him a bowl of rice and kindly took him in.
So, for Hina's previous rebuke, Kronos would not take it to heart.
Even if Hina goes too far, Kronos doesn't get angry.
The reason is because, at this moment, he is relying on others, and he is not qualified.
The second reason is that Kronos has long regarded Hina as his sister.
Of course, regarding Hina as his sister.
Kronos didn't mention it to Erica either.
Because of this, it will only increase Erica's goodwill towards herself.
There is no point in just saying it, it is the reality that depends on what you do.
Therefore, there is no need to mention and inform Erica about this matter.
