Kruger PV's

After the family breakfast, I helped Carla with the housework while Grisha prepared the needs of her patients, the housework in this house consists of washing, ironing, cooking, tending the vegetable farm, shopping for lunch, and taking care of the animals and take care of Eren.

My part of the tasks consists of taking care of the garden, taking care of the animals, and taking care of Eren, of course, I did the work the best way possible, after all a man must be responsible, if I committed to helping, I will do it with the best of my skills.

Taking care of the garden is as simple as I just need to water, prune and remove the food that is ripe and ready for harvest.

Taking care of the animals is not a big problem either, since there are only a dozen chickens and two cows, I just need to feed the chickens, clean the chicken coop and harvest the eggs, the cows just milk, collect the manure and take the two for the pasture area.

With everything done, I started playing with Eren until it was time for Grisha to leave for work, today is my first day as his student and assistant.

My father is almost a celebrity, he has been famous all over the island for over 6 years, it all started because of an outbreak of an unknown and super contagious disease, Grisha came up with the cure and saved thousands of lives all over the island and settled here in Shiganshina district where he resides to this day and over all these 6 years Grisha has saved thousands of lives from various social classes, and this miraculous man is my father and now a teacher.

Sometime later, while I was playing with Eren, Grisha came out wearing his lab coat and a briefcase in his hand. "So Kruger, are you excited about your first day as my assistant and student?" Grisha asks with a smile.

"I don't know, will I earn a salary?" I asked with a miserable smile.

Grisha seeing the miserable smile on his son's face gets angry and speaks up. "You stinking brat! Where you have the face to ask me for money!

I'm the one who should be charging you money to pass on my precious knowledge, ungrateful!"

"Hump! If you yell at me, I'll tell Carla you're flirting with these street women!" Kruger plays his final card.

"Tisk. So it was you! It's you, who keeps teaching these things to my innocent little Eren!

All right, how much do you want?" Grisha admits defeat.

Kruger seeing Grisha admit defeat speaks. " Hahaha... Relax old man! I don't need money, you can teach me to fight, and buy the things I need, of course I know my limits, I won't extort your money.

Tsk... Old and greedy bat..."

Grisha is in awe of his son's level of intelligence who he's sure is 8 years old, so he responds. "Closed! But in exchange, you won't talk about these women's matters with Carla anymore! I already told you not to keep calling me Bat!"

"Fine. I think you're a bat, but this time I'm going to keep my mouth shut, my opinion is still the same, you're a bat! So, who's the first patient we're going to see?"

"It's an old acquaintance, he has a chronic illness, it's just a routine treatment.

So no need to worry, for today you will read this book and watch me take care of patients and help me when I ask." Grisha says, handing Kruger a book.

"Fine. Old man if you are such a good and famous doctor, why are we poor?" Kruger asks curiously since the house they live in couldn't be more ordinary, apart from the huge backyard, it's nothing special.

Grisha looks at his son with a gentle smile and says. "Life is more than just money, I only charge the rich and noble, and I use most of the money to buy materials, as the vast majority of my patients are poor people and orphaned children."

"I see. It looks like you're not just an old pervert, behind that perversion there's a sympathetic heart, I can almost have a little faith in you!" I reply maliciously.

Grisha when he hears the words of his eldest son, trips and falls face down on the ground, when he gets up, he screams. "You stinking brat!!! Get back here, how dare you say the big me, Grisha Yeager, is a pervert!"

Kruger seeing his father running after him quickens his pace looks back with a big smile and says. "Of course I do! After all, when you're not working, you're locked inside that basement like an old bat, doing whatever!"

Grisha, hearing his son's words, couldn't bear to keep the expression of false anger any longer and burst out laughing in the middle of Shiganshina district. "hahahahah... A depressing and daring brat, this is new!"

And so, father and son went from one patient to the other, laughing, playing, talking about life, hobbies, and everything that came to their minds, and little by little one was better understanding the character of the other and deepening the relationship between father and son.

As the sun was setting, Grisha and Kruger returned home with bags in hand this was the ingredients for dinner, when they arrived home they were greeted by a smiling Carla and a dirty Eren.

Grisha seeing this scene smile and speak. "Carla what happened to Eren, it looks like he went to play in a pigsty!"

"Are you calling my cute baby pig, Grisha Yeager?" Carla asks with a dangerous smile.

I take the opportunity and say innocently. "I think that was it, after all, the pig is the animal that plays in the pigsty isn't it?"

Grisha, seeing his wife's smile deepen, breaks into a sweat and speaks hastily. "Not at all Carla, it's just that Eren is full of mud and dirt, I wanted to make a joke... That's all!"

"Oh... So you're saying that I don't know how to take care of my son, you're insinuating that you married a relaxed woman who isn't even fit to take care of your son while you work!" Carla cries fake tears.

I see that Carla is playing a prank on Grisha, I look at Eren and say. "Eren, I think daddy is going to abandon us, he doesn't want our mom anymore!"

Grisha seeing the situation spiraling out of control turns red with nervousness and says. "No... It's not that, Carla... Please understand... I... I... I was kidding!"

The nail that sealed Grisha's coffin, was Eren's tearful voice saying. "Mom, is Dad going to throw me away?"

I look at Grisha whose face in red has gone paper white and then look at Carla who was doing her best to hold back her laughter and ask with mock sadness. "Is it true mother, the father will abandon us?

Carla, seeing through me, couldn't contain herself any longer and started laughing. "Hahaha... Grisha your face is priceless! Eren, your brother and I are playing with your father, he is not leaving us, it was just a joke."

Eren, upon learning that he was tricked, jumps from his mother's arms and goes to his father and says. "I think you made a fool of yourself daddy, this time mommy won..."

Grisha couldn't bear to see his youngest son looking at him with pity so he looked away and didn't dare face his family, but he made a mistake as his oldest son was beside him, looking at him with a smile mockingly, Grisha didn't know where to hide his face anymore, and his anger and shame rose to levels he never thought were humanly possible, and with no option, he decided to run down to the basement, but not before hearing his son Old Bat's call.

After Grisha went to the basement, his family laughed at his actions, and then they spent a few minutes laughing and joking, Carla went inside to prepare dinner while Kruger and Eren played some more, and that's when I decided to ask Eren his dreams. And what he wanted to do when he got older.

"Eren! Stop there, I want to ask you a question, come sit here in front of me."

Eren, who was running in the backyard, came to me as soon as I finished saying "What's up brother, you can ask, but I'll let you know, I don't know much, but I'd be happy to teach you how to make mud dolls!"

I got angry as soon as I heard your answer to my call. "Smelly brat! I'm the oldest and I must teach you things, not the other way around! Now tell me what you want to do when you grow up?''

Eren thought my question was important, so he placed a hand on his small chin and thought for a few moments, and then his face lit up and he said. ''I want to explore the world, not be trapped in these walls!

That would be fun!

And you brother what do you want to do?"

I looked at Eren for a moment and decided to speak the truth. ''I want to explore the world too, so I'm going to join the scouting troops and fight the Titans!"

As soon as I finished my answer, from the house a scream came. "Eren! Kruger! Grisha! Dinner is ready, whoever arrives last will run out of dessert!"
