"One day he called upon Ame no Uzume, ordering her to "Please escort Sarutahiko no Kami back to his hometown of Ise. Then you shall take his name, and serve him."
Since their first meeting, Ame no Uzume had become very close to Sarutahiko, and with much joy she accompanied him to Ise, and the two enjoyed a delightful honeymoon-like trip."
月日が経つ つきひ・た time passes, the days and months go by
貫禄 かんろく presence, dignity
郷里 きゅうり home town, place of one's birth
裂く さ to cut up, to cleave, to cut open
引き摺り込む ひ・ず・こ to drag in, to pull in
真相 しんそう truth, real situation
"Well, after escorting Sarutahiko with no issues, Ame no Uzume returned to the cape of Kasasa. There she called upon many kinds of fish, such as the sea bream, flounder, urchins, scallops, octopi, squid, tuna, flying fish, sea bass, football fish, sea cucumber etc...
"You all, will you serve as the food for Ninigi no Mikoto?" She asked.
"We will serve," came the replies, except for the sea cucumbers which were piled up without saying a word. Ame no Uzume angered, took out a small knife, "Does this mouth truly say nothing?!" And sliced open their mouths. It's a horrid story, but even today it is said that the split mouths of sea cucumbers is due to Ame no Uzume."

"On a bright clear day, while Ninigi no Mikoto was walking along the beach if Kasasa, he met a maiden as beautiful as the flowers...
"I am the daughter of Ōyatsumi no Kami, Konohanasakuya-hime..."
"I would like to marry you."
"I cannot answer, you will have to ask my father..."
Later on, Ninigi no Mikoto sent a messenger to Ōyamatsumi no Kami. Having been asked this, Ōyamatsumi no Kami was thrilled. With many gifts, he decided to send the two sisters together to Ninigi no Mikoto to become his brides.
With much joy, Ninigi no Mikoto went to receive the two women. However, the eldest sister Iwanaga-hime's face was incredibly hard to look at, "You, return home!" And he sent her back to her father's place. Only the beautiful Konohanasakuya-hime went to his place and spent the night together."
