What do you think would happen if you truely meant yes in response to the Kuchisake-onna?

In japanese folklore, there's a figure known as a Kuchisake-onna (the Slit Mouthed Woman). The spirit has the appearance of a attractive lady who ussually covers their mouth when encountered.

They ask people if they are pretty. If you answer no, they will kill you. If you answer yes, they will uncover their mouth to reveal a large slit across their mouth, and repeat the question.

If you answer no then, they will kill you. If you answer yes but don't sound genuine, they cut your mouth to resemble theirs. Weirdly enough, the legend doesn't account for people who answer yes and mean it, so I'm curious as to what everyone thinks they'd do?
