Story Transcript:

Ja: 静寂が広がる東京の一隅、琳派画法に着想を得た日本庭園の中央にある鯉の池の畔で、三人の友人ユキ、ヒロコ、サトシは新緑の景色を楽しんでいました。
En: In a corner of Tokyo, where silence pervades, three friends, Yuki, Hiroko, and Satoshi, were enjoying the scenery of a Japanese garden inspired by the Rinpa painting style, located by the pond filled with koi in the center.

Ja: ユキは黒板大の着物をまとい、ヒロコとサトシはスマートな洋服を着こなしていました。ユキの清楚な着物は、親しみやすさを醸し出しており、未熟な三人組の中では一線を画していました。
En: Yuki was dressed in a black kimono while Hiroko and Satoshi were wearing stylish Western clothes. Yuki's elegant kimono exuded approachability, setting her apart from the inexperienced trio.

Ja: 「ヒロコ、その着物、とても美しいね。」とヒロコが笑いながら言いました。
En: "Hiroko, your kimono is so beautiful," Hiroko said with a smile.

Ja: ユキは乙女な笑顔で対応したが、その直後には彼女の表情が変わり、目前の石を見逃し、転倒してしまいます。「わー!」という彼女の悲鳴が木々を揺らし、彼女はバランスを失って鯉の池に真っ逆さまに落下しました。
En: Yuki responded with a maidenly smile, but her expression suddenly changed, causing her to miss a nearby stone and fall. Her scream of "Wow!" shook the trees as she tumbled headfirst into the koi pond.

Ja: ヒロコとサトシはユキが水面に飛び込むのを驚きの表情で見ていました。そして、ユキが水面から飛び出る鯉共々頭上に送り出した水の壷が崩れるのを待ち続けました。
En: Hiroko and Satoshi watched in astonishment as Yuki plunged into the water. They waited for the splash of water jars being flung into the air along with the koi as Yuki leapt out of the water.

Ja: すぐに彼女は水面から出てきました。「だ、大丈夫?!」と駆け寄るサトシ。「変なところに石があったわ」と言いながら、ユキは笑い始めました。池から出て来ても、その笑顔は変わらず、着物も水の重みに彼女を引きずり込むようなことはなく、ただただ重たそうでした。
En: She quickly emerged from the water. "Are you okay?!" Satoshi rushed over. Yuki began to laugh and said, "There was a strange stone there." Even after she climbed out of the pond, her smile remained, and her kimono did not drag her down with the weight of the water; it simply looked heavy.

Ja: 彼女の大冒険に皆はホッとした後、爆笑し、ユキも一緒になりました。
En: After their relief at her daring adventure, they burst into laughter, and Yuki joined them.

Ja: 「それにしても、普通は石につまずいて道路にぶつかるものだけど、ユキは池に飛び込むんだね」とサトシがからかいました。
En: "Usually, you trip on a stone and fall on the road, but Yuki jumped into the pond," Satoshi teased.

Ja: 「確かに、琳派の絵にでも飛び込んだようね」とヒロコも笑いながら付け足しました。
En: "Indeed, it's as if she jumped into a painting by Rinpa," Hiroko added with a laugh.

Ja: この日、ユキの小さな冒険は、三人の友情をさらに深め、池に落ちるという小さな事件は魅力的な話の一部となりました。そして木々は、友情に包まれたこの庭園で鳴らされた笑い声を揺らしながら、その楽しいエピソードを心に刻みました。
En: On this day, Yuki's small adventure deepened the bond of friendship between the three, and the incident of falling into the pond became a charming part of their story. As the laughter echoed in the garden, the trees engraved this joyful episode in their hearts, shrouded in friendship.
