Story Transcript:

Ja: 東京のスカイラインは、まるでビルの洪水がサンセットに輝く海に注ぎ込んでいるかのように見えた。その美しさに見とれていた中にいたのは、小さな女の子、ゆきだった。彼女が迷いに迷って、サイハテまで来てしまった場所、それは東京駅だ。
En: The skyline of Tokyo appeared as though a flood of buildings was pouring into the sea shimmering with the sunset. Among those mesmerized by its beauty was a little girl named Yuki. Lost in her thoughts, she found herself at the faraway destination of Tokyo Station.

Ja: ラッシュアワー。駅は人の波で溢れていた。向かいから来る流れ、後ろから押す流れ、足を運ぶ全ては一つの方向へと向かい、その逆に立っているゆきは途方に暮れていた。
En: It was rush hour. The station was overflowing with waves of people. Streams coming from opposite directions, pushing from behind, every footstep moving in one direction, while Yuki, standing against the flow, was at a loss.

Ja: ゆきは自宅からはるか遠くにいた。居場所なんて確かなものではなく、彼女の心の中はいますぐ家に帰りたいという思いで満ちていた。でも、流れる人々は彼女の願いを無視して、川のように勢いよく流れていく。
En: Yuki was far from her home. Her place of belonging was uncertain, and her heart was filled with the immediate desire to return home. But the flowing crowd disregarded her wish, swiftly carrying on like a river.

Ja: だけど、ゆきはあきらめなかった。彼女の小さな体はその川に押し流されそうになりながらも、逆流する勇気を続けていた。その眼差しは伊達に前方を見据えていた。おうちへ帰る方法探しの旅は続いた。
En: However, Yuki did not give up. Despite her small frame being almost swept away by the river, she continued to bravely swim against the current. Her gaze was fixed ahead, determined to find a way back home.

Ja: 彼女はスマートフォンを取り出し、頼りにすることにした。ゆきが指先に力を込めて画面を操作すると、地図が広がり、帰路が見えてきた。それは、ゆきにとって新たな希望の光だった。そして、この光は予想以上に明るかった。
En: She took out her smartphone as a last resort. With determination in her fingertips, she operated the screen, the map expanded, and the way back home became clear. It was a new ray of hope for Yuki. And this light was brighter than expected.

Ja: 彼女はその指示通りに移動を始め、周囲の混雑が軽減するにつれて、帰り道がスムーズになっていった。誰にも気づかれず、ゆきはその場からゆっくりと動き出し、人の波から離れた。
En: Following the instructions, she began to move, and as the surrounding crowd eased, her journey back home became smoother. Unnoticed by anyone, Yuki slowly moved away from the crowd.

Ja: 家路についていくゆきの足元は明らかに軽くなって、人混みでも自分だけが進める方向に向かっていると確信が芽生えてきた。最終的に、彼女は自分の家までの道のりを見つけた。
En: With each step toward home, Yuki felt lighter, and she was confident that she alone was moving in the right direction in the crowd. Eventually, she found her way back home.

Ja: 彼女の冒険は終わり、ゆきは家に帰って安堵の息をついた。混雑した駅から抜け出し、失った道を見つけ出すという事は、ゆきにとって勇気と知恵、堅実さが求められた試練だったのだ。しかしそれを乗り越えた彼女は、もう二度と迷うことはないと、自身の力を確信した。
En: Her adventure came to an end, and Yuki heaved a sigh of relief upon reaching home. Escaping the crowded station and finding the lost path was a test that required courage, wisdom, and resourcefulness from Yuki. Overcoming it, she was confident in her own strength and was certain she would never get lost again.

Ja: 東京の夜景が彼女の窓から見える。彼女の中には大きな都市の迷路でも、行き場を失うことはない自信が芽生えていた。それはゆき自身が成長し、それを乗り越えた証だと、彼女は胸を張って誇りに思ったのだ。
En: From her window, Yuki could see the Tokyo night view. Despite the intricate maze of the big city, she was confident she would never lose her way. It was a testament to her growth and the pride she felt in overcoming it.
