Though Kuretake got angry at his cowardice,now that she could not drop the plan.
"Don't be surprised at it.
The baby is not a human being now,
but just a thing the same as a frog.
You must regard it as water.
It is not a crime to kill it.
When you acomplish it, you will get as you like.
If you deny my propossal, you can not leave here."
As Kuretake winked at the next room,
He noticed faithful maids in white headbands waiting with their slleves tucked up.
Each held halberds and prepared for the case.
Kuretake had planed to turn on the lights in order that
he could see them through the bamboo blind.
Ryokai was so frightened that he could not say anything again,
and he could not lift his face for a while.
He thought if he denied it, he would be killed,
and so far he should accept the request agreeably.
Finally he consented to it in order to spare his life,
though it was against his will to kill the baby.
Kuretake was pleased to hear it.
Prohibiting from telling others about it smilingly,
She gave several gold coins for the temporary reward.
Then, She let him go.
