The cruel Yokoyama thought that it would not do to suffer his daughter to live, after he had thus killed her husband. Therefore he felt obliged to order his faithful servants, Onio and Oniji, who were brothers, to take her far out into the sea of Sagami, and to drown her there. And the two brothers, knowing their master was too stony-hearted to be persuaded otherwise, could do nothing but obey.
But my husband was poisoned by my father at the instigation of his own third son, Saburo. "I myself was condemned by him to be drowned in the sea of Sagami. And I owe my present existence to the faithful servants of my father, Onio and Oniji." Then the lord Hangwan said, "You see here before you, Terute, your husband, Kane-uji.
But she was not even allowed time to lament her fate; for Onio and his brother at once removed her garments, and put her naked body into a roll of rush matting. When this piteous package was carried out of the house at night, the princess and her waiting-maids bade each other their last farewells, with sobs and cries of grief. Onio, "the king of devils," Oniji, "the next greatest devil."
The brothers Onio and Oniji then rowed far out to sea with their pitiful burden. But when they found themselves alone, then Oniji said to Onio that it were better they should try to save their young mistress. To this the elder brother at once agreed without difficulty; and both began to think of some plan to save her.
