She's a Secret Agent?! (English Version)

[31]

It seems like my mind can't function properly as we were eating. My senses can't even properly register what is the flavor of the food that I was shoving on my mouth. What the fudge. I have so much on my mind right now and currently, they are adding to it. They were acting so weird as we were seated on the dining table. 

Now they were staring each other down with narrowed eyes, I could almost see the electricity connecting their eyes. The unspoken tension between them were so thick I could slice it with my knife. We were in this round table, Cross was on my right side while Daniel was at the opposite side of me. I cleared my throat to distract them but to no avail.

"The food is amazing" I suddenly say to beat the deadly silence.. And it wasn't a lie. His sweet and sour pork was surely to die for. He looked at me, and I could see his eyes glimmer as he smiled.

"Really? You liked it? " he asked, unbelievably.

I nodded and he almost looked like a child as he smiled brightly. This is a rare scenario.

"Well, what do you want me to cook next?" he inquires eagerly. 

"Fried-

"I'll cook next time" Daniel cuts me off and I raised my eyebrow. 

"What? It even looks like you don't know how boil water" 

" I know how to cook" he says rather proudly. 

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, sure"

"Wait, I'll be the one cooking for Misaki" Cross chimes in. 

"No, that would be me"

"I asked her first!"

"No, I did!"

I'm stuck with assholes.

"Stop, okay?" I half shouted. It worked and they both looked at me.

"No one's stopping you guys in cooking in the kitchen. Why are you fighting when you both can do it?" I facepalmed.  

"And right now, cooking delicious food is not our priority. Finding the treasure is" I say stopping my self from really scolding them.

Their fighting subdued and I thank God silently. 

"Okay, sorry" they both said in unison.

"Good. Now, get ready we're about to take off" I stood up and started to walk away. I suddenly felt heavy and my head hurt a bit. It was too late for me as everything went black.

After an hour...

I opened my heavy eyelids and tried to take the surroundings in. I was in a room which was definitely not my room. In impulse, I immediately stood up. 

"Hey, don't do that" Cross stops me and help me lie down again. 

"What happened?" I ask, my mind still hazy.  

"You fainted. You have high fever, Misaki. You have to rest" He said rather gently.

"But I can't. The treasure, we wasted so much time already" I complained. We just couldn't waste time. I was about to try and stand up again but he stopped me gently with his hand on my shoulder. 

"There will be a lot of time okay? Besides, we are the only one who knows we are here, Martin can be trusted. I guarantee you, we still can relax a bit" he tried to comfort me.

"But, my mission I can-

"Misaki, you're not a robot. You also need to rest" that made me shut up. There was a flicker of worry in his eyes.
