Moreover, Iware village was occupied by forces of E-shiki. The Sumera-mikoto found that every lodgment of enemies was located at strategic points, from which his army would be blocked on his path to the inside. Therefore, the Sumera-mikoto deplored such a difficult situation deeply.
今日は、ちゃぽちゃんは、とって～も忙しそうです。”ごめんね！ちゃぽ、とって～も忙しくて、今日はブログの更新ができないんだ・・・”
On fifth of September, the Sumera-mikoto climbed up the summit of Mt. Takakura of Uda and looked around the circumstances of the nation. In those days, on the top of the Kunimi-hill was Yaso-takeru who deployed Me-no-Ikusa, in Japanese a female unit, in Me-saka and O-no-Ikusa, a male unit in O-saka, and disposed a lot of fired charcoal on Sumi-saka respectively. Saka means slope in Japanese.
Considering from a strategic point of view, Yoshino must had been a key point in order to make a detour to avoid passing through the dangerous place, Kumano, where the force of the Sumera-mikoto had met with terrible resistance, and to make a base behind the territory of Nagasu-ne-hiko. It is plausible that the Sumera-mikoto would have tried to cooperate with influential persons of Yoshino.
Furthermore, the Sumera-mikoto walked alongside a river towards the west and met a person who equipped a weir in it. The Sumera-mikoto required the stranger to introduce himself again. The person answered that he was one of sons of Niemotu, who was ancestor of Ukai of Ada.
By the way, were they a kind of anthropoid who had managed to survive until that time? However, it seems improbable that there should have been tailed-men literally, even though they lived deep in the mountains. Nowadays, we guess that Ihika and Iwa-Oshi-Waku should have worn their traditional folk costumes like a tailcoat.
The Sumera-mikoto asked the shining person who he was. He introduced himself that he was an earthy deity, whose name was Ihika. It is said that he was an ancestor of Obito of Yoshino. Marching into Yoshino deeply, they found another person with tail coming out of rocks. The Sumera-mikoto asked him to reveal his identity. The tailed-man, who was an ancestor of Kuzu of Yoshino, replied that he was one of sons of Iwa-Oshi-Waku.
ちゃぽ、今日もとって～も忙しいの！たいへん。たいへん。
Judging from the behaviors of the Sumera-mikoto and Oto-Ukeshi, in those days, the mutual relation between them seems to be resemble with that between a feudal lord and a vassal in the medieval age, because Oto-Ukeshi, who came to stand by the force of the Sumera-mikoto, should never thought that his nation was conquered. Rather, he might expect that his territory would be guaranteed by the authority of the descendant of the heavenly deities.
