Someone described it as "an oil spill in the middle of a mantle of mana underneath the island". If you had your phone you could see all the information we're pooling on the network about it.
[He wants to know very much what this network is that Natori is building out of his sight but also doesn't want to admit he doesn't know how!!! So fuck you Natori.]
A fascinating description. Something physically within this world?
Perhaps something is sealed within the earth. Cave systems were once a popular sealing site for ogres, after all.
[You know, like that one he allowed to revive that one time c:]
If it's a cave like what you're picturing, we haven't found its mouth. There's likely more to the island than what's physically accessible to us right now-- the landscape is malleable and (supposedly) responds to the emotions of those of us who inhabit it. The "desire system" again.
So could it be that you just wanted a visitor on your birthday?
I'm not particularly fond of excessive celebration for my birthday, actually.
[But he's sure that Natori can imagine that his hangers-on do it anyway. Gee, life is just so hard when you have so many colleagues and family trying to celebrate you, huh, Natori??]
In any case, if it's a matter of forcing a secret path to open, then investigation is in order. I shall see to making some rounds.

[He writes back, patiently, like Natori is slow. Did you send it to the wrong person?]

I don't intend to entertain these silly games of yours.
You haven't answered my question regarding the ayakashi responsible.
[Screw it he's just continuing the conversation!]

The fancy PDA is a mobile phone. Where'd you put it?
(No, we don't know where the ayakashi is. I think it's in an overlapping realm instead of residing in the same one we're staying in.)

I found it very disruptive. I have no use for such a device, so I sent it away somewhere.
["sent away"]
That's going to be a problem. Perhaps we should focus on discovering the boundaries of this realm first.

Live.

What.
[But shortly after, before Matoba would have time to get a response back, another doll appears:]
A distortion of the tradition of giving gifts to celebrate a birthday? You've kept living, so here is the present?
[Or is this another part of their fixation of the 'health of the residents'?]

「you will fulfill the contract by living」
Is that sufficient for you?
By the by, I found it rather easy to paralyze.
