Japanese Script

二人ふたりは服ふくをきれいにした後あと、ドアを開あけて中なかに入はいりました。またドアの裏うらに何なにか書かいてありました。

“銃じゅうはここに置おいてください。”

ドアの横よこに机つくえがありました。「なるほど。銃じゅうを持もってごはんを食たべるのは確たしかによくない。」「そうだね。他ほかのお客きゃくさんが驚おどろくかもしれない。」今こん度どは黒くろいドアがありました。

“帽ぼう子しと靴くつを脱ぬいでください。“

「どうして脱ぬがないといけないんだ?」「わからないけど、脱ぬぎましょう。」二人ふたりは帽ぼう子しと靴くつを脱ぬいで、次つぎの部屋へやに入はいりました。黒くろいドアの裏うらにはこう書かいてありました。

“メガネと財さい布ふはこの箱はこに入いれてください。”

ドアの横よこに箱はこが鍵かぎと一緒いっしょに置おいてありました。「こういうものはごはんと関係かんけいないけど、どうして?」「帰かえる時ときに、ここでお金かねを払はらうからだと思おもうよ。」「なるほど。」

English Translation

After they cleaned their clothes, they opened the door and got inside. Again, something was written on the back of the door.

“Please put your gun here.”

There was a table at the side of the door. “Indeed, it’s certainly not good to eat a meal while having a gun.” “Well, other guests may be surprised.” Next, there was a black door.

“Please take off your hat and shoes.”

“Why do we have to take them off?” “I don’t know, but let’s take them off.” They took off their hat and shoes and entered the next room. This was written on the back of the black door;

“Please put your glasses and wallet in this box.”

A box with a key was placed at the side of the door. “These kind of items have nothing to do with a meal, but why?” “Because we will pay the money here when we return, I guess.” “I see.”
