Telepathic Love:

Chapter 2:

Much to Naru's satisfaction he was able to see Mai the very next day. He had checked out the student canteen on an off chance that she would be there and fortunately for his headache she was.

It's Kazuya again. I've run into him quite a lot in the past two days.

He could detect that she was happy to see him and he felt appreciated. The only problem was that she was sitting next to male student that was blond haired and blue eyed. Naru concentrated on him to read his mind. His thoughts were in English.

He's giving me the evils. Did I do something? Does he like Taniyama-san?

"Sorry if I am glaring," Naru said and sat down in the unoccupied chair at the table. "I just haven't met you before."

"I'm John Brown," the blond said. "I'm in a society with Taniyama-san. I am doing the theological research course here."

John had a very strange accent that sounded like a mixture of standard western accent and Kansai-ben. Naru took a look at his hair and made a guess where he was from. It helped that he had heard John speak English with a detectable accent in his head.

"Are you Australian?" He enquired. "I'm Kazuya Shibuya by the way."

How did he guess?

"I am from Australia," John confirmed with a smile. "I learnt Japanese from someone in the Kansai region though so my speech is strange to some people."

"John is actually preparing to be a Catholic priest," Mai told him. "I was just asking him if he knew anything about exorcisms."

Naru understood the link there and it was interesting to find someone that wanted to be a priest. It was also a relief that John didn't have any interest in beyond friendship with Mai. He wanted to spend more time with Mai and a boyfriend would be an obstacle.

John took a glance at the clock on the wall and hastily stood up when he saw what the time was.

"I've got to go. It was nice meeting you Shibuya-san," he said and rushed off.

This left Naru alone with Mai. He guessed that she didn't have an impending lecture as she was relaxed and she was eying up the menu.

John didn't get to tell me about how he would do an exorcism...

He felt her disappointment and he decided to make it up to her. He always did like demonstrating that he had more knowledge than other people.

"Catholic priests will use things like holy water, crucifixes and passages from the Bible," he explained. "Shouldn't you have known that?"

"We haven't got into the Catholic part yet in lectures," Mai answered as she noted down what he said in her notebook.

Kazuya is very knowledgeable about things that he isn't studying. It's an attractive trait.

Naru swallowed a smirk. It was always nice to hear compliments that weren't about his looks. Not that he completely minded ones about his looks. They just felt too shallow sometimes.

"I see. Do you have any more lectures today?" He asked.

"I have one in an hour, then nothing else for the rest of the day," she answered. "What about you?"

"I do as well," Naru lied.

He was smart enough to survive skipping a few lectures. It was missing lab practicals that would get him in trouble.
