△Birth of Young.
The Emperor who heard this said as follows.
"I was going to be nearly tricked."
It founded the military, and the Emperor dispatched them to shoot SahobikonoMiko promptly. Miko made Inaki and met it.
SahobimenoMikoto was loving her elder brother at this time, so she escaped from a back gate in a court and entered Inaki.
At this time, the Empress was pregnant.
For 3 years, the Emperor also felt the Empress was cute. It thought that was regrettable. So his army surrounded the environment, but he didn't attack quickly.
While it was delaying in this way, the Empress gave birth to Young.
So the Empress put Young in Inaki and dispatched a messenger to the Emperor. A messenger said to the Emperor as follows.
"If you think this Yuong is Emperor's Young, please take back."
The Emperor thought as follows, so he was thinking the Empress would like to take it back, too.
"I bear a grudge against the older brother, but after all love the Empress."

  So the Eperor was strong and gathered quick soldiers. He gave an order to a soldier as follows.
"When taking Yuong back, despoil the mother at the same time, too. Even grasp a hair a hand everywhere, and draw out."
On the other hand, the Empress knew Emperor's idea from before. She shaved all her hair and covered a head with the hair. She made string of a decorative jewel go bad, and wound on a hand threefold. She made clothes be depressed by liquor and wore it like perfect clothes. She prepared this, and held Young and tendered to outside of Inaki.

So strong soldiers have received Young. Immediately, they tried to catch the mother. But, if the hair was grasped, hair was missing. When it took the hand, string of a jewel snapped. When the clothes were grasped, clothes ripped immediately.
Therefore it was possible to despoil Young, but soldiers couldn't take the mother away.
Soldiers reported as follows to the Emperor.
"Hair was missing naturally. Clothes ripped easily. String of the jewel wound on a hand again snapped immediately. Therefore it wasn't possible to despoil a mother. Only Young took it away."

The Emperor thought regrettably. So he hated the people who made a jewel, and he took up all their land. It includes the following proverb with that.
"Jewel making which it don't get land."
The Emperor said to the Empress as follows.
"A mother is always going to call the name of all Young. How will you do the name of this Young."
The Empress answered as follows.
"When burning Inaki this time, I gave birth in the fire. Therefore please call the name HomuchiwakenoMiko."
"How should Young be brought up."
"Please establish and bring up Ohyuwe Wakayuwe (nurture person in charge) as a nurse."

So Yopung was brought up as the Empress said. The Emperor interrogated the Empress as follows.
"Who unties the wonderful lower string you tied and bound?"
She answered as follows.
"Himemiko of two people of daughter's Ehime Otohime of HikotatasumichinoushinoMiko in Taniha are people of loyalty. It would be better to hire them."
The above mentioned street and the Emperor killed SahobikonoMiko. Sahobime of his younger sister also immolated itself.
