Pressed for an answer by Hutunushi-no-kami and Takemikatuti-no-kami, Oonamuchi-no-kami asked them to wait for a moment until he would consult with his son, Kotoshironushi. It is said that just at the time, Kotoshironushi was enjoying fishing at Miho promontory of Izumo or hunting wild birds. When the messengers who had sent by Kotoshironushi asked that question with regard to the alienation of the Izumo, he replied that his father should not have resist against Takamanohara and that he also did have no intention to fight against them. Leaving these words, he had gone away into the sea.
