[Even now, Matoba is always surprised at how easy it is for him to lead ayakashi by the nose in this place, where his traitorous blood's reputation is unknown. For now, he should simply play nice and gauge this god's power and temperament, right?]
[And then, when he knows how he can make use of it...]
It's probably unwise to discuss the torrid details where it can observe, but the big one that rules this realm has gone into hiding for a little bit, it seems. To put it simply, there was some excitement a few weeks ago, and it slipped up. I am surprised it had the energy to spirit away any more victims so quickly.
[Arguably more important: the curses that it laid on people for managing to glimpse at its true form. A predictable outcome for laying eyes upon such a powerful malevolent ayakashi, but as far as Matoba is concerned, an acceptable risk for the chance to know his opponent.]
Maybe it's fortunate. We may have an opportunity to do some damage, or to plan more thoroughly while it is licking its wounds, but we do not know where it is now.
That aside, there are a lot of mischievous smallfry around, but they are mostly just pests- wandering hands, poltergeists in the paintings and mirrors. I find that they try to corner you in private areas- bathrooms, changing rooms and the like. You may be able to lure them out by acting defenseless and unawares.
