Ja: しかし、その静けさを破るかのように、一本の街灯がちらちらと点滅し始めたのです。 En: However, as if to break that silence, a streetlight began to flicker intermittently. Ja: この現象は、近所の人々の間で謎めいた話題となりました。 En: This phenomenon became an enigmatic topic among the neighborhood people. Ja: タロウは、小学校の放課後、この街灯を見上げていました。 En: Taro, after school, was looking up at this streetlight.

Taro was convinced. Ja: タロウは学校の友達、ユキとヒロにもその証拠を見せました。 En: Taro showed the evidence to his school friends, Yuki and Hiro. Ja: 「君の発見はすごい!」とユキは驚きました。 En: "Your discovery is amazing!" Yuki exclaimed. Ja: 「でも、どうしてその車が関係しているんだろう?」とヒロが考えました。 En: "But why is that car involved?"
