AN: New chapter yaaay! Is feeling very productive this week.
ӨӨӨ
It was in the middle of February, just past the Valentine Day. The bell nailed on the top of the office front door is chiming cheerfully—the sign that a client or annoying guests—like the monk and the miko—was opening the door.
"Welcome to Shibuya Psychic Research, I am Taniyama Mai; may we be of any assistance to your problem?" The girl in sailor uniform greeted the strangers entering the office cheerfully.
As she got a good look at them, their newest client seems to be a couple. The man with tousled jet-black head and the most gorgeous emerald eyes that Mai had ever seen was towering over the brunette, curly-haired woman who stood just in front of him. They were conversing in a low tones in foreign language—English, if Mai not mistaken.
Clearing her throat to get her attention from her wandering to the foreign man's impeccable features, the as foreign woman said in stuttering Japanese, "G-good afternoon. Is this office owned by one Shibuya Kazuya? He had been recommended to us to solve our problems."
Blinking in curiosity, the sophomore part-time girl answered, "You are correct. Please sit down while I notified the boss. Would you like warm tea to drink?"
Exchanging their gaze, the man finally spoke for the first time in a pleasant, deep baritone voice. "Thank you, we will be delighted to."

As soon as the tea was served and Mai had managed to drag her boss out of his lair—i.e. his office—the raven-haired man produced a sealed-with-wax parchment envelope and nudge it to Naru.
"What is this?" The scientist asked the man.
"That is the letter of recommendation from your third cousin that advised us to seek you." The man replied succinctly.
Pausing in disbelieve Naru then skim the letter in a flash. Putting down the letter, he then asked their potential client. "I see the situation then, Mr..?"
"Peverell, Hadrian Peverell. This is my colleague, Jane Dogsworth. We need to know if you would keep it secret before we told you our case." Harry said to Naru, the twenty-one years old emerald eyes boring into the eighteen years old sapphire blue ones.
"Mr. Peverell, we have always exercising secrecy when dealing with the case if the client wished it." Naru said, as if offended that the man would imply otherwise.
"Please, Mr. Shibuya do not be offended. We merely have to make sure that we seeking your help will not be known by certain element of societies is all." The harried looking woman replied. "Ry, if you would?"
Sighing in defeat, the man finally said, "Alright, we need assistant to destroy some cursed items. And I mean destroying it until not even ashes remains." Harry said, while running his fingers through his hair, making it more of an unmanageable mess.
"And the items are..?" The director of SPR fished for more details.
Being nudged by his partner, Harry produced an ornate wooden box with intricate rune engravings on every available surface from the depth of his winter cloak, and put it on the coffee table. "The items are inside the box. Be warned though, it can possess people." So said, he undo the latch and open the lid.
Immediately after the green-eyed man open the box, the three psychics in the room could feel the temperature drops ten degrees and the lights flickered on and off. The woman then quickly shut the lid down, cutting off the malicious aura coming from inside the box.
"So, do you think you can destroy, exorcise, purify, whatever the trinkets inside?"
