En: It was a valuable historical document of Arashiyama, and if not found, it would greatly impact Haruto's reputation.

Ja: 冷や汗をかく遙人のもとに、東京から友人の雪が到着しました。

Ja: 「まずは落ち着こう」と雪が提案し、三人は観光客に質問を始めました。

Ja: 誰も不審な動きはしていないという情報しか得られませんでしたが、雪が言いました。「竹林の奥を調べてみよう。何か手がかりがあるかも。」
En: They received no information other than that no one had seen any suspicious activity, but then Yuki said, "Let's investigate deeper into the bamboo forest. There might be a clue."

Ja: 桜は竹林の歴史や奇妙な噂について詳しかったため、三人で奥へと進みました。
En: Sakura was knowledgeable about the history and strange rumors concerning the bamboo forest, so the three of them ventured further in.

Ja: すると、小さな隠れた部屋を発見しました。

Ja: 「ただの記念品だと思いました」と観光客は申し訳なさそうに言い、巻物を返しました。
En: "I thought it was just a souvenir," the tourist said apologetically and returned the scroll.

Ja: 巻物が戻り、遙人の評判は守られました。
