This part isn't in the manga/anime! Do you want to go to the SPR Office? Do you know about Naru's hobbies?

There Really Are a Lot of Evil Spirits!
Prologue

If ghosts appear and disappear in your house.

You would definitely find it annoying, scary, and also inconvenient.

You'd definitely tried to get rid of it.

But how?

If you ask me, you would be walking a tightrope. If you don't live in Tokyo, then you better get on the train to Ueno, Tokyo.

You'd get on the railway, then get off at Shibuya. Actually, it doesn't matter which train, be it the Hanzoumon Line, the Ginza Line, or the Tokyo Line, you get on as long as you reach Shibuya in the end. Once you get to Shibuya, go to the front of the *Nahachi. Find a kind-looking person and ask him for directions.
[ Note: Nahachi is a statue of a demon dog that's usually near a train station ]

After getting directions, you can get here easily. Walk a while and you'll be able to see a tall, brick building built in an old architectural style. There should be a plaza on the first floor.

—Did you find it?

Once you get there, take the elevator by the water fountain and go up to the second floor. Don't waste time looking at the clothing stores and teahouses downstairs. They're all very tempting, so if you're not careful you may end up going into one.

When you arrive at the second floor, look around. Do you see a blue-gray door?

In the middle of the door is intricate frosted glass, with the logo "SPR" written across in fine, golden calligraphy. Beneath the logo are the words "Shibuya Psychic Research".

Learn to recognize this door.

Eh, so you're wondering whether I'm from a teahouse? Where did that come from, of course I'm not. I said teahouses can't help you get rid of ghosts.

If you just go into a teahouse without knowing what you're going to say, you'll be forced to leave. If you're unlucky, you're also be reprimanded with, "Can't you read the English on the door?"

"Shibuya Psychic Research"—that is to say, "Shibuya Psychic Research"
[ Note: She first says it in English, then in Japanese ]

Do you get it now?

"Psychic Research" means investigation of paranormal activity. "Shibuya Psychic Research" is a paranormal business office located on Shibuya Street. The name might also be named after the family's surname. Well, it doesn't matter where the name came from. The main thing is you can always reach us by phone.

"For exorcisms performed on a spirit or a possessed person, please call and arrange an appointment."

Basically, the job is about exorcising spirits and such.
