โWhen you ask Hanako for the reasonโ

Crying times also and angry times also
When sheโs crying, and when sheโs angry too
ใใใใฏใใใชใใ
The answer is the same.
So here weโre asking her the reason for crying or being angry, and the answer is always the same.
Page 99 Sentence 3
This construction is a little complicated. Remember that Hanako is speaking here- the previous sentence indicates that her reason for crying/being angry is coming next, and this is her telling us.
Thereโs a noun phrase in here so letโs ignore that for now.
[ ใใใใใใใใใงใฆ ใใฃใใฎใซ ] ใใใใ ใฟใใใใใฎ ใใ (ใใใ) ใจใใซใใฆ ใใฃใใฎใ
[โฆ ] ใใใใ ใฟใใใใใฎ ใใ (ใใใ) ใจใใซใใฆ ใใฃใใฎใ
ใใใใ ใฟใใ
When they see me,
ใใฎ ใใ (ใใใ) ใจ
Those kids said โscary!โ
ใซใใฆ ใใฃใใฎ
And went running away
ใฎ is just indicating a reason here.
Now for the first part.
[ ใใใใใใใใใงใฆ ใใฃใใฎใซ ] ใใใใใฟใใ
ใใใใใใใใ
I was called/invited, so
ใงใฆ ใใฃใใฎใซ ใใใ
ใงใฆใใฃใ
ๅบใ + ่กใ
I left to go (play)
ใฎใซ is a grammar point meaning โdespite/althoughโ
So literally itโs like โWhen they saw the me who was invited and came out (to play), they said โscary!โ and ran awayโ
More naturally it would probably be separate phrases in English since we donโt use noun phrases in the same way.
โDespite inviting me to play, when I came out, these kids said โscary!โ and ran away.โ
Page 100 Sentence 2
The only thing youโre missing here is that it isnโt Hanako calling out, itโs people in general, like the kids running away she was talking about in the last sentence.
Oh, also ใฎใซ is โdespite/even thoughโ
โใใใณใพใใใโ ใจใใฏใชใใใใ ใใใใ ใใณใใใใฎใซ
Despite intentionally calling out to Hanako, saying โLetโs play!โ
ใใใใ ใฟใใใใซใใ ใใชใใฆใใใใชใ ใงใใ
Doing something like running away when she shows herself is not good.
Page 100 Sentence 4
This is two separate phrases.
ใใใใ ใใใใ ใปใใปใใง
The ใง indicates means
โWith the way I taught youโ
ใใใใใใใ ใใใใ ใปใใปใใงใใฏใชใใใ ใใใใ
If you meet Hanako using the method I taught you,
ใซใใ ใใชใใจใใใใใใใฆ ใใ ใใใ

If you havenโt checked it out already, Iโd recommend taking a look at Satori Reader after this. They have built in grammar explanations and lookups which makes it a great learning tool.

I see! Yes, I would say definitely being able to recognize N5-N3 grammar is important for reading. As you can see, even native material for kids uses N3 grammar.
