Come now, rise up and give me your hand." The emperor rejoiced, saying "It is done then," and when he said "Then come near to me," the demon woman approached joyfully. Lying in wait for this moment, the emperor suddenly sprang up with a "gaha!" sound, seized the demon woman's hand with his left hand, and wielding his sword with his right hand, he struck her down.
