Hana (checking her pockets):
あれ？スマホがない！！
(Huh? My phone’s missing!!)

Yuki (exhausted):
また〜〜！？
(Again~~!?)

Hana (panicking):
絶対、ベンチに置いたままだ！

電車がもう出発した！！
(The train already left!!)

助けてください！！スマホを忘れました！！
(Please help!! I forgot my smartphone!!)

[They explain to the station staff.]

Station Staff (kindly):
大丈夫です。車掌さんに連絡します。
(It’s okay. I’ll contact the conductor.)

[After a few minutes…]

Station Staff (smiling):
スマホ、見つかりました！終点で預かっています。
(Your phone was found! It’s being kept at the last stop.)

Yuki (relieved):
よかったね！
(Thank goodness!)

Hana (confused):
あれ？これ私のじゃない！？
(Huh? This isn’t mine!?)

Yuki (sweat-dropping):
えええええ！？
(Whhaaaat!?)

[Turns out it’s a very similar-looking phone, and the real adventure to find Hana’s true phone begins…]
