Just a little sleep-deprived," Haruto replied with a smile, but his voice lacked energy.Ja: そのとき、桜が茶店に入ってきました。En: Just then, Sakura entered the teahouse.Ja: 彼女はハルトの幼なじみで、よく彼の様子を見に来ていました。En: She was Haruto's childhood friend and often came to check on him.Ja: 桜はすぐにハルトの頬に手を当てて言います。「ハルト、顔が真っ赤だよ。En: Sakura immediately placed her hand on Haruto's cheek and said, "Your face is so red, Haruto.Ja: 熱があるんじゃない？」En: Don't you have a fever?"Ja: 「少し熱っぽかったけど、大したことないよ。En: "I felt a little feverish, but it's nothing serious.Ja: 仕事に戻らなきゃならない。」ハルトは頑固に言い返します。En: I need to get back to work," Haruto stubbornly retorted.Ja: しかし、本当は体がだるくて倒れそうでした。En: However, in truth, his body felt heavy, and he felt like he might collapse.Ja: 「無理しちゃダメよ、休んだ方がいい。」ユキが優しく言いました。En: "Don't overdo it, you should rest," Yuki said gently.Ja: 桜も「みんなで手伝うから休んで」と真剣に訴えました。En: Sakura earnestly added, "We'll all help out, so take a break."Ja: その時、ハルトの視界が暗くなりました。En: At that moment, Haruto's vision went dark.Ja: 突然力が抜け、彼は椅子から崩れ落ち、意識を失いました。En: Suddenly, his strength gave out, and he collapsed from the chair, losing consciousness.Ja: 周りの人たちは驚いて駆け寄りました。En: The people around him rushed over in surprise.Ja: 気がつくと、ハルトは茶店のソファに横たわり、桜とユキが心配そうに見下ろしていました。En: When he came to, Haruto was lying on the teahouse sofa, with Sakura and Yuki looking down at him worriedly.Ja: 「ごめん、無理してたみたいだ。」ハルトは弱々しく微笑みました。En: "Sorry, it seems I was overdoing it," Haruto weakly smiled.Ja: 「休まないと。En: "You need to rest.Ja: 元気になって戻ればいいから。」桜が言いました。En: It's okay to come back once you're feeling better," Sakura said.Ja: ユキも「大事なことは、自分を大切にすることですよ」と優しく続けました。En: Yuki gently continued, "The important thing is to take care of yourself."Ja: ハルトはその言葉に頷きました。En: Haruto nodded at those words.Ja: 仕事も大切ですが、健康と友人の大切さを忘れてはいけません。En: While work is important, one must not forget the importance of health and friends.Ja: ...
