Chapter 17: Greed Island?

~ Back to (Y/N)'s POV ~

I sit down at the same table from breakfast and take out my phone to check if I got any updates from my papa, and nothing. I know lunch had just started, but I'm impatient when I know I'm about to get information about Maxine. I already knew how crazy my leg was shaking underneath the table, but I didn't do anything about it.

About fifteen minutes passed, and nothing. Kurapika and Melody still haven't came here so I assumed they were talking to eachother for a bit. Another five minutes pass and then I get a message from my mama.

Ma: Hi (Y/N), I'm currently flying out to the Nostrade Mansion. Your papa and I are both going to speak with you there at dinner.

(Y/N): Ok, but why are you coming anyways?

Ma: We both need to be there for something. Your papa is too busy atm, so he won't be joining you for lunch.

(Y/N): Oh ok, ty for letting me know.

Great, just great. I have to wait even longer. I leaned over and banged my head on the table, and it was on purpose. I hate having to just wait for my parents to tell me these things that I can't find out for myself. I really feel like I should've just quit my job and looked for her myself. I just feel real useless right now. All I can do right now is just sit around and wait. I wanted to cry, but I also didn't want to do that in the dining hall.

"Here you go (Y/N)", Kurapika said as he placed down a tray of food in front of me. He then placed his own tray in front of him and sat down. I lift up my head to see the food he brought.

"The chef made handmade pasta and prepared a nice salad for lunch. I also got a bowl of fruit for us to share", he said as he winked. My eyes widen a bit because I was shocked that he did this for me.

"Thanks Pika", I replied with a smile.

"Why didn't you get food earlier?", he asked.

"I was waiting for my papa to come first. My ma texted me saying that he's busy with something right now. She's currently flying here to the mansion because she said they both need to be here for something. They're going to discuss it to me at dinner. I'm starting to get scared, what if something bad happened?", I answered.

"I'm sure it's nothing terrible. Your papa didn't seem to be worried or anxious about anything over breakfast", he replied.

"I guess so..", I said.

"Come on now, eat up. You were lecturing me about how I should eat this morning, don't be a hypocrite", he said with a slight chuckle.

"I ain't no hypocrite", I said as a started to eat the pasta.

We both then continued to eat our lunch. I tried really hard to stop my leg from moving too much to prevent shaking the table. I then slowly calmed down, and I felt a lot better.

"What were you talking about with Melody back by Neon's bedroom?", I asked.

"What? Why do you ask?", he responded as he chocked on his food for a bit, as if he was surprised.

"No reason in particular, I'm just curious", I answered.

"Oh, well she asked what I was doing at the mansion. I gave her my answer, and then I asked about what she did with Basho and Linssen", he replied.

"Oh, ok then. Are you done with your business with Mr. Nostrade?", I asked.

"No, I have to go back to his office after lunch", he replied.

"Alright then", I said.

Lunch had then ended and I walked back to Neon's room with Melody, Basho and Linssen to check up on her once again.
