Another random manga page. Well, it’s not actually random, it just lacks context. For now

Ebisu & Co mention a poem 山たづね and I think that they are talking about this one written by Empress Iwa-no-hime for her belate husband. It's in the Manyōshū:

Since you, my Lord, were gone,

Many long, long days have passed.

Should I now come to meet you

And seek you beyond the mountains,

Or still await you–await you ever?

Rather would I lay me down

On a steep hill’s side,

And, with a rock for pillow, die,

Than live thus, my Lord,

With longing so deep for you.

Yes, I will live on

And wait for you,

Even till falls

On my long black waving hair

The hoar frost of age.

How shall my yearning ever cease–

Fade somewhere away,

As does the mist of morning

Shimmering across the autumn field

Over the ripening grain?

I'm too lazy to look out how it is related to the sorcerer's hometown or whether it is a hint to find this place the god squad calls Tamatsuki, that place more dangerous than Yomi...
