Why not believe in the power of tradition?"Ja: ユマはしばらく考える。En: Yuma pondered for a while.Ja: 現代医学に頼ろうか、それともアイヌの伝統に従うか。En: Should she rely on modern medicine, or follow the Ainu traditions?Ja: 最終的に彼女は決めた。En: Ultimately, she made her decision.Ja: 「お願いします、ハルトさん。私はこの村の一部でありたい。」En: "Please, Mr. Harto. I want to be a part of this village."Ja: ハルトは準備を始めた。En: Harto began his preparations.Ja: 彼はユマに特別なハーブを調合し、彼女の心を落ち着かせる歌を歌った。En: He concocted special herbs for Yuma and sang a song to soothe her heart.Ja: ユマは少しずつ、ハルトが伝える言葉に耳を傾けた。En: Yuma gradually started listening to Harto's words.Ja: 儀式が進むうち、ユマは不思議なビジョンを見た。En: As the ritual progressed, Yuma had a mysterious vision.Ja: 彼女は村を離れた自分が、過去の思い出に縛られていることに気づく。En: She realized that she had been bound by memories of the past since leaving the village.Ja: 彼女の心の中には「ここに居場所がないのではないか」という不安があった。En: In her heart, there was an anxiety of "perhaps there's no place for me here."Ja: その瞬間、ユマは涙を流した。En: In that moment, Yuma shed tears.Ja: しかし、その涙は徐々に彼女の心を洗い流し、重かった心が軽くなった。En: However, those tears gradually washed away her fears, and her heavy heart became light.Ja: 儀式が終わると、彼女は普通に呼吸できるようになっていた。En: When the ritual concluded, she found she could breathe normally again.Ja: 新年の朝、ユマは目を覚まし、以前よりも元気だった。En: On New Year's morning, Yuma awoke feeling healthier than before.Ja: 彼女は村の正月のお祝いに参加することができた。En: She was able to partake in the village's New Year celebrations.Ja: サクラと一緒に雪の村中を歩きながら、彼女は強く、そして故郷とのつながりを感じた。En: Walking through the snow-covered village with Sakura, she felt a deep connection to her homeland.Ja: みんなと共に、伝統的な踊りを楽しみながら、ユマはもう一度心の中でつぶやいた。En: Along with everyone else, she enjoyed the traditional dances.Ja: 「ここが私の居場所。この村と共に、私は生きていく。」En: "This is my place. Together with this village, I will live."Ja: ユマは自分を受け入れ、村の一員としての自信を取り戻した。En: Yuma accepted herself and regained her confidence as a member of the village.Ja: この冬の経験は、彼女...
