Wow!
What are you looking at?
What

Should I

Wow...
I

fine.
Want me to
take
that
?
We

here

I

fine.
It’s not that heavy.
This
place is pretty quiet.
We
finally
made it
!
It's
quiet
because we're out in
the countryside.
This
looks like a
quiet
place.
The air
's pretty clean
here
, though.
Well, it is
the countryside.
It'
ll
be
good
for your health
.
The air

here

Yeah

I bet it wi

Let

bus
from Yamabiko

Yeah

Ayumu, we're getting on
that

Let

I'm glad we didn't have to wait for a bus.

Yeah.
Onii-chan, you've been to Yamabiko before, right?
Yeah, Dad brought me here before.
And we'll be staying at

What's the place like?
Hey... haven’t you been to Yamabiko before?
I've only stayed there once, so I don'

Yeah. Dad brought me here once.
Let's see
...
We’ll be staying at the Yorozuyo Inn,
It was
an
old building
...
the same place you stayed in right?
And
a beautiful river
ran
in front of it.
Yep!
There
was
also a lot of
green
ery in the yard
.
So, what’s it like there?
I
t was my first time there, but I felt like I'd
been there before
.
Huh?
Dad is apparently friends with
the
previous inn
owner
,
Well... I only spent the night there that one time,
so
that
'
s why they took us in.
so I don’
t really remember.
But I remember
...
It was
this
old building
with
a beautiful river
flowing
in front of it.
I remember, the garden
was
really
green
.
I
’d never
been there before
, but the place felt really familiar.
I guess Dad used to know
the
old
owner
and
that
’

I see.

heading in
the opposite

W

L

it says that Yorozuyo is in the same direction as
Yamabiko

I think this bus is
going
the opposite
way!
Onii-chan, the
next bus comes...
I mean, l
ook,
you have to go towards
...
an hour
later
?!
Yamabiko
to get to "By Yorozuyo"...
The countryside sucks...
The
next bus comes...
The bus still isn't here.
In
an hour
?!
And it won't be coming here for a while, either.
Freakin’ countryside!
Look, Onii-chan!
It’s not coming.
What

Well, with this schedule it’ll be a while.
Over there!
A

It's

W

But it’s not like this place has
bears

I was collecting wild
vegetables!
You’re a

I can make
tempura,
have it on the side, serve it
with
sour
miso...
Yeah... I am

I
can put them in miso soup

So that

It's also delicious to have them with rice!
Pretty
embarrassing.

I-I see...
But w

are
you doing
out
here?
After you cross this river and head straight, you'

path.
Just gathering some mountain
vegetables!
Once you head
down th

take
you
straight to
the bus stop.
They’re for
tempura,
steaming, or seasoned
with
vinegared
miso...
Thanks for taking the trouble to show me the way.
You
can put them in miso soup
too
.
You really helped me out.
It’s also really yummy if you mix it with rice and red beans.
No problem at all.
O-Oh really?
It's only natural to help those in need.
If you cross here and keep going straight,
Plus, you'd be in trouble if you stumbled across a bear!
you’
ll come to a fork in the
road.
So there actually are bears around.
Go
down th

you

the bus stop.
All right, I'll demonstrate how to get across.
I’m sorry you had to bring me all the way over here.
Be sure to look!
Thanks a lot!
Well? Did you see it?
Oh, you don’t have to thank me!
N-No, I-I didn't!
I help someone whenever I can!
W-Well, I did, but... I didn't!
And if you had kept wandering around there
A-Anyway, here I go.
and ran into a bear, it would have been bad.
Wait, this is an unfortunate accident-
So you do get bears here...
You damn
pervert!
I’ll show you how to do it.
What the hell
was that for?!
Watch closely now!
Right back at
you!
So, were you watching closely?
How dare you take
a girl
to this deserted place, push her down forcefully, and...
I wasn’t... I wasn’t watching at all!
...k-k-k...
I mean, I watched, but I wasn’t looking!
...k-kiss her!
So, here I go!
I'm telling you, this was an accident.
No, no, this was just a bad accident!
What? An accident?
You
pervert!
We wouldn't need the police if that counted as an accident!
What the hell
is wrong with you?
I'm taking you to the police, so you'd better be ready!
Exactly what I wanted to ask
you!
Wait, Ibuki-chan!
You drag
a girl
into a forsaken place like this,
He

push her to the ground, and ki-ki-kiss her!!
What
happened really was
just
an accident!
Like I told you, it was an accident!
If this would pass as an accident, we wouldn’t need the police!
They will be notified of this; I hope you’re ready for that!

Um... we're Hoshino's-
Umm... We’re Hoshino-
Are you Kazuma-kun? Hoshino-sensei's son?!
...is that you, Kazuma?!
Yes.
Mr. Hoshino’s son?
You took so long that I was getting all worried!
Uh... yeah.
I would've driven to the station to pick you up if you'd just called!
I was worried because you took so long!
You must be his
little brother, Ayumu
-kun!
You should’ve just called when you got into the station.
It's true that you aren't very tall.
I would’ve sent a car to pick you up!
Well, unlike where you used to live, the air is clean
, and the food and water
is good here.
And you must be the
little brother, Ayumu
.
I'm sure
you
'
ll
feel a lot better quickly.
Yes, you are a bit skinny, but it’s quite different here.
U-Uh
...
The air is fresh
, and the food and water
are delicious,
My
my
, what happened to you?!
so
you
’
ll
be well again in no time!
You
should get in the
bath
...
Umm
...
But
before that, I'll take
you
to
your room
s.
My
, what happened to you?!
Okay,
follow me!
You
need a
bath
!
I think I'
ll
have you stay
in the older
section.
But
first, why don’t I show
you
your room
?
I
don
't ho
use
customers here
anymore,
so
feel free to treat it like your own
home.
Please
follow me!
The baths are at the new section, though.
You two wi
ll
be sleeping
in the older
wing.
U-Um, Ma'am...
We
don
’t
use
this for guests
anymore,
Ma'am...?
so
please, make yourselves at
home.
No, uh...
Unfortunately, the bath is in the newer wing.
Little M
iss?
So, Auntie...
You don't have to be that considerate.
Are you talking to me?!
You can just call me Onee-san.
No, I mean... umm...
Got a problem?
Young.... m
iss?
None!
That’s not necessary, but please call me Miss?
Allow us to call you Nee-san!
Is something wrong?
Nee-san?
Nothing at all!
Well, whatever.
We will call you "Sis"!
So, do you have any questions?
Calling me your sis?
It's a little late to ask this, but are you the owner of this inn?
Okay, then. So what did you want to ask?
Oh
, I'm terribly sorry
! I haven
'
t even introduced myself yet.
This is a little late but... are you the owner?
I
'm
Yorozu
Senka
, the owner of Yorozuyo
Inn.
Oh
my
! I haven
’
t even introduced myself yet.
I'
ll
be taking
over
from
Hoshino
-sensei as
your guardian
starting today.
I
’m Senka
Yorozu
, the owner of Yorozuyo
.
Nice
to meet you!
Starting today, I’
ll
take
over
for Mr.
Hoshino
This i
s the old
section
.
and be
your guardian
.
This used to be the
main
entrance,
Pleased
to meet you!
but it's become the back entrance since the new section was built three years ago.
Here’
s the old
wing
.
Yorozuyo looks like a nice place.
This used to be the
entrance,
Yeah.
but ever since we added the new wing three years ago,
This is your room, Kazuma
-kun.
it’s become sort of a back door.
Wow, so this'll be my ceiling.
This place sure looks nice.
Pretty cool.
Yup.
Your room is on the other side of the corridor, Ayumu-kun.
This is your room, Kazuma
.
I have a lot of other rooms, but I'm sure you'd want one that's close.
It’s pretty neat how the ceiling is done here.
Yes.
And your room is that one just across the hall.
The inn owner in me wants to treat you to some tea first,
We have more rooms,
but I think
you'd rather take a bath instead.
but I thought you might like one close by.
Yep, it's great how I'll get to use such a huge bath every day!
Thank you.
S-Sorry!
As the owner of this inn,
Hey, what was that for?
usually I’d invite you for a cup of tea,
Oh
my,
pink.
but I think
Kazuma should take a bath first.
I
'll n
ever get married now.
It’s pretty sweet that I’ll be able
Onii-chan, I'
m coming in.
to get into a big bath every day.
'S
up, Ayumu?
Excuse me!!!!
Nee-san
says
we should come down
for dinner.
What is going on here?
As a welcoming party of sorts, I have quite the feast for you tonight.
Oh
...
pink.
The main course will be sushi and sake served on naked women.
I
can’t
ever get married now.
..
Whoa, Nee-san! That's just-
I’
m coming in.
Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you can't drink sake because you're underage.
What’s
up, Ayumu?
No no no, that's not the problem here!
Sis
says
it’s time
for dinner.
All right, here we go!
We have quite a fancy meal set up
Don
't
, Ayumu!
Don't
look!
as part of your welcoming party.
Why?
For the main course, we’ll be serving you
Geez, Kazuma-kun! You actually fell for it!
mountain vegetables on a maiden’s nude body along with sake from thigh cups.
Don't tell me you were looking forward to it?
Sis, isn’t that a little...
Nee-san...
Oh, excuse me. You’re not old enough to drink sake.
A lot
has happened today.
That’s not what I meant!
I fell from a tree...
And here we are!
Got kicked...
Don
’t look
, Ayumu!
Saw it...
I forbid you to
look!
Was seen...
Why not?
Was seen again...
I can’t believe you believed that, Kazuma.
And
...
Or maybe you were hoping it was true?
I should
'
ve asked
for
her name.
..
Sis...
Onii-chan, a
re you still
awake?
A lot
happened today:
Ayumu? What
's the matter?
I fell out of a tree.
Why are you carrying a
pillow?
I got kicked in the face.
Don't tell me y
ou can
't fall a
sleep in this new place
alone, so you want to sleep with me?
I saw... things.
Wait, I'm right?
I got... seen.
Can I?
And... got seen.
Fine.
And
also

But only for tonight.
I should

Yep.
A

Okay, I'm turning the lights off.

What’s with the

Oh, I get it.

So I... can’t?

All right, but just tonight, okay?
Ah,

Okay, I’m turning off the lights.
Y
ou
still
don

the way to
school

Good

That's why
I asked
a girl
to
show you the way.
Good
night.
Her name
is
Toudou
Tsumugi

Thank you for the meal

She
'

third-year

Yamabiko South

You

In other words, she's

Didn't

Good m

It looks like
your guide
i

Our... g

Since y

I asked
someone
to
go with you.
This

Tsumugi

She
’

Yamabiko South
High.
So a year older than

I-
I sincerely apologize for
what happened!
I sincerely apologize for
my misconduct!
It's fine, I couldn't really see it.
Don’t worry about it.
Since it wasn't very big at all, I'm not surprised.
I didn’t really see anything clearly anyway.
That's harsh!
Not surprising, with that size.
So you came
all the way to Yamabiko
for Ayumu
's sake
?
Just kill me!
Ayumu
's body is pretty fragile.
So you came
here
for Ayumu
?
So
my dad
figured
it
'd
be
better
for him
to live
somewhere where the air's
clean
.
Ayumu
’s a little sickly,
Doesn't y
our
dad
write
novels
?
so
my dad
thought
it
would
be
good
for him
Yeah.
to live
in a place like this, with good
clean
air.
Well,
my
parents are planning on
buy
ing
a house here
and moving in.
Y
our
father’s a
write
r, isn’t he
?
B
ut
they have
work and
stuff to sort
out
, apparently.
Yeah.
Actually, he and
my
mom want to
buy
a house here
,
S
ince
there's
school
and all,
they
figured
it
'd
be better if
we
came
here earlier
to
settle in
.
b
ut
with their
work and
whatnot, it hasn’t worked
out
yet.
So that
'
s why
we'
re here
first
.
But s
ince
we have to go to
school
,
they
thought
it
would
be better if
the two of us
came
ahead and got used
to
things first
.
So that
’

the two of us a
re here
now

Did you enjoy the first episode of A Bridge to the Starry Skies,
Did you enjoy it?
the anime about brotherly love of the new century?
Nee-san, why did you have to make it sound so weird?
Sis, why are you putting such a weird spin on it?
It

Brotherly love is

Brotherly love is

Justice not

Wh
-Why
are you
at
our school?
Wh
at
are you
doing in
our school?
What do you mean
?
What do you mean
, "what am I doing here?"
I
just
transferred
here... What choice did I have?
I
transferred
to this school.
But
we
didn't
have to
end up
in the same class!
That doesn’t mean
we
have to
be
in the same class!
Hinata,
don't be ridiculous.
Hinata,
what are you talking about?
There's
only
one class
per grade level at this school
.
Our school
only
has
one class
for each year
.
There
are
no other class
es
for
second-years.
There
is
no other class
for
juniors.
W-Well, I know t
hat
, but...
T
hat
’s true
, but...
Though, I didn't expect a transfer student to be acquainted with Hinata.
I’m surprised that you two know each other.
I don
'
t know
this person!
I don
’
t know
him.
Then what
is it
?
Then what
?
Well
, uh...
Well
... umm.
Oh, never mind.
It doesn’t matter.
Hoshino, go ahead and introduce yourself.
Why don’t you introduce yourself?
Sure.
Yes, ma’am.
Hoshino Kazuma
My name is Kazuma Hoshino.
I'm Hoshino Kazuma.
I
’m
here
because my parents will be moving here soon
.
I
transferred
here
due to certain family circumstances
.
Nice to meet you

, Mom?
I told you not to call me "Mom"!
I am not your mother!
Call me "Sensei" at school!
We are in school and you will call me "Teacher".
What's wrong with it? You're my parent.
C’mon! I am your offspring, after all!
I may be your mother, but you should learn that there's proper time and place for such things, you stupid boy!
That may be,
Come on, you address me as your son all the time.
but remember that there is a time and place for everything,
Don

idiot son.
Too slow!
See, what’s the big deal?
Hoshino, that will be your seat.
You just called me your son.
Huh?
Where am I supposed to sit
then
?!
Don
’t you dare
talk back to me!
Don't you worry, I have an idea.
I can see it!
Kazu-kun, nice to meet you.
You can sit over there, Hoshino.
Since your name is Kazuma-kun, I shortened it to Kazu-kun.
Where am I supposed to sit
?!
Shouldn't I?
Don’t you worry about that.
I don't mind, but...
I’ve got just the place.
what's your name?
Hi, Kazu.
Oh,
I'm sorry.
Oh... I was thinking I could call you "Kazu", since your name is "Kazuma",
I'm
Nakatsugawa
Ui.
but maybe I shouldn’t have done that.
Just
call me Ui.
That’s fine, I guess,
I
'
m Ibuki.
but who are you?
Hinata Ibuki.
Oh,
excuse me!
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
My name is Ui

I can’t answer

What else
am I supposed to call

So, w

is Ibuki to

Just because you hop around
deep in
the mountains
doesn't mean
you

You know

I
t's because
you
knocked
her over!
I don’t know him at all.
Say w
hat?!
I don’t associate with perverts like him.
Ibuki
-chan
, I
told
you
that was
only
a misunderstanding
...
Pervert
?
Wait
, you were the one
he
knocked
over?
What else
would
you
be?
I knew you'd end up in that situation at least once, Nakatsugawa Ui!
You lured an innocent girl
deep in
to
the mountains
, just so
you
could
ki-
You're not always getting yourself in troubl-Ui for nothing!
I
mean... So
you
could push
her over!
Hey, stop causing more misunderstandings!
W
hat?!
And what's this misunderstanding?
Ibuki
, I
keep telling
you
,
that was
a misunderstanding
!
I
told you it
was an accident!
Wait
a minute... so
he
pushed you
over?
An accident
? Seriously?!
That could only happen to a space cadet like Ui Nakatsugawa!
You don't seem to be able to understand me, no matter how many times I try to explain it!
The fact that her guard
I don
't even
want to
understand
anything about
what happened, or
you
in genera-
is permanently down is exactly why they call her "Ayaui".

Hey!
A

Can you not say deceptive stuff about me?
Kazu

What do you mean by "deceptive"?
If
you don

I
mean that
was an accident!
I'll let
you
have a
look at mine.
An accident
, was it?
Things would only get more complicated if I were to let you get any closer to Ui.
I already explained it to you yesterday, but you just don’t get it!
Ah, it's finally lunch.
Because there’s nothing to get!
Feeding time.
I don

You’re not

Are you seriously going to
eat
this

?
Of course
I’m not eating this alone!
Of course
not. I brought side dishes in a different container as well.
I’ve got the side dishes right here!
I even have muffins my Mom baked for dessert.
Then for dessert, I’ve got some muffins my mom baked me.
This is quite normal for her.
That’s Ui for you.
Say...
Hey...
Are those the
wild
vegetables you were picking
in the mountains?
Yeah?
Yup, t

Are those the

Ui, don't

T

Now that you mention it, why
were you
there yesterday
?
Hey, can you please not
talk with your mouth full
?
Wh-Why wouldn't I be there?
Which reminds me.
I was
just
taking a walk
.
What
were you
doing out
there yesterday
, Ibuki?
Oh, I
know!
I wasn’t doing anything!
You were on the way to the observatory.
I was
taking a walk
, okay? A walk
.
The observatory?
Oh, I
bet you went out to the viewing platform.
Yup. There's an observatory a little way further up that mountain.
There is one?
We've been going there since were were kids; it's our favorite spot.
Yeah, if you keep going up that mountain, you get to a look-out.
The view
is really nice, and when you scream "You idiot!" at times when you're stressed, you suddenly feel much better.
It’s been one of Ibuki and my favorite hangouts since we were little kids.
You always shout "Yahoo" whenever you go up there, though, regardless of your stress level.
The view
’s really great,
I think it's really encouraging to hear a yahoo coming back whenever I call out; I can't help it.
and if you ever feel bad, all that will fly away
Is that so...?
if you scream "idiot" from up there.
You're going to give me a tour of the city?
Well, for you nothing needs to be wrong,
Yeah.
you still yell "yahoo" every time.
You don't know much about Yamabiko since you just moved here, right?
Hearing a "yahoo" back when you
So I thought I'd show you around.
yell "yahoo" first just cheers me up.
That would be
nice
.
I guess so.
Then I
'm coming with you.
You want to show me around town?
There's no telling what you might do to Ui if I leave you two alone.
Sure!
Obviously, I'm tagging along.
You just moved here, right?
All right, let's all go togethe-
So you probably don’t know Yamabiko very well at all.
In that case, would you mind if I brought my brother with me?
So I was thinking I’d show you around
Not at all!
if you’re interested at all.
Brother of my brother, is also a brother of mine!
That would be
really helpful
.
Kazu-kun, you have a
brother?
Then I
’m going too.
Who knows what you would do if I left you alone with Ui.
Of course I’m going too!
Great! Then we can all go!
Okay.
Do you mind if I bring my little brother too?
Of course not!
My bro’s bro is my bro, Bro.
You have a younger
brother?
Yeah.
Yeah.

I figured
you might get lost on your way home, since you're not familiar with this place yet.
I figured
since you’re not familiar with this area,
Thanks for looking out for me.
you might not remember how to get back home.
Tsumugi-senpai cares so much about you!
Thank you for taking the trouble...
All the guys at school admire her, you know!
Wow, you’re lucky when every guy’s favorite girl,
She's too good for Kazuma!
Tsumugi, is paying this much attention to you!
Oh, but...
Not that he deserves it!
will Ayumu be all right?
What about Ayumu?
No, I suppose he'll be fine since we're going to meet up at the bridge.
I guess he’ll be fine if we meet him at the bridge...
You sure worry about Ayumu-kun all the time.
You always put your little brother first, don’t you?
It's okay, though.
But don’t worry,
I've seen to it that he'll manage just fine.
I already took care of that.
Mugi-nee!
Mugi!
Thanks.
Thank you for bringing Ayumu over.
You stayed with him, right?
Who’s this, Tsumugi?
Tsumugi-san, who is she?
This is my youngest sister, Kasane.
This is my sister, Kasane.
She’s in the same class as Ayumu, so I asked her to look after him.
She's in the same class as Ayumu-kun, so I asked her to watch over him.
So then...
So...
...this is your younger brother, Kazu?
This is
Kazu-kun's...
It’s nice to meet you.
...brother?
My name is Ayumu Hoshino.
N-Nice to meet you, I'm Hoshino Ayumu.
He’s so...
So...
Cute!
...cute!
So your name is Ayumu?
Oh, so you're Ayumu-kun!
That’s right.
Y-Yes.
But you don’t look at all like Kaz...
But you're not very simila-
Ui!
Hey, Ui!
She’s right!
It doesn’t matter how space cadety you are, you still have to be careful!
Huh? Huh? What do you mean?
Don’t you think it’s strange how incredibly cute his little brother is?
Yeah! It means they probably have some complicated family situation...
You guys don’t have to "be careful"!
We’re not half-brothers or anything like that;
he’s my full-blood brother!
Liar!
There’s no way you could have a little brother that cute!
Why you...
If you really are brothers,
it looks like God played a genetic trick on you two.
You guys...
See, I knew you were a nice person.
Huh?
I noticed it when we walked to school this morning.
When you walk with your brother,
you deliberately make your stride shorter.
You’re matching your stride to his.
Really? You do that?
Sorry, I never noticed before.
Hey, don’t worry about it.
I choose to do it myself, so you don’t have to...
More importantly, Ui,
you said you’d show me the town,
so... where are you taking us?
Let’s see... I guess we’ll start here.
The convenience store.
It’s on the way to school, so a lot of Hikonan...
Hikonan?
It’s an abbreviation for Yamabiko South High.
Our junior high school is part of it too.
This convenience store is open
from seven in the morning until eleven at night!
Isn’t it wonderful? You can buy candy even when it’s dark!
It wasn’t always like that...
I see.
So when did they close before?
What do you want to do?
Wanna go in and buy something?
No! If you want to get a snack, let’s go to Yahho!
Huh? Yahho?
The... Yahho... Store?
The store’s name should actually be read as Yakata,
but we’ve been calling it Yahho ever since we were little kids.
So what did you all get?
Let’s see.
First off, we’ve got a cheese- flavored Yummy Stick.
Then another cheese- flavored Yummy Stick.
Then another cheese- flavored Yummy Stick.
Cheesy Stick.
Cheesy Stick.
Cheesy Stick.
You only got cheese flavor?
But that’s my favorite!
I see.
So that’s why it tasted like cheese.
No, it’s not like that!
It shouldn’t taste... like... cheese.
Huh?
Oh, when you gave me one of your muffins at lunch,
I tasted something strange,
so I thought there was some cheese in it.
Oh, you mean- oh!
Yeah, there was some cream cheese in the batter, yes...
This is
the Cedar Ball.
It’s made from cedar needles and they hang it under the eaves
to show that they have new sake in stock.
You know so much...
Just what I’ve been told, here and there.
I’m friends with the daughter of the family who runs this store,
and she told me.
This is where Yorozuyo gets their sake, too.
There are more stores here.
So would this be the shopping district?
That’s right!
The flower store right here is run by a lady who just got married.
She’s very excited about that.
Over there, that bike store’s owner just had a new baby.
That soba shop over there is currently closed because the husband
hurt himself playing amateur baseball.
Then, see that ramen shop on the corner?
Its owner is known for being really bull-headed.
I really recommend the ramen though.
Then we should go eat there next time.
Yeah!
Yeah!

Just because you're oblivious by nature doesn't mean you can say anything!
At the lunch place over there, their only son is taking
What do you mean?
his college placement exams right now.
Don't you think it's a little strange for his brother to be this cute?
The book store owners’ cat just had five kittens and
Exactly!
they’re trying to find them homes,
There must be some complicated family matters behind this.
and the owners of the grocery store are in a big fight right now!
Hey, stop wondering about things in the weirdest ways!
You really know a lot about everyone.
We have the same parents!
Well, I’m not called the News Hound of Yamabiko for nothing.
I'm actually related to him by blood!
You
always did like
you
r gossip
.
That's a lie!
Where are
we
going
now
?
There's no way your little brother can be this cute!
Let’s go to the Twin Peaks!
Come on!
You want to go mountain climbing now?!
If you really are related by blood as you so claim...
But I wanted to show Kazu the look-out!
...this must be the result of a genetic prank that God only knows.
The look-out, huh...
You people...
Wait... so the Twin Peaks is where I got lost yesterday?
I knew it.
The spot where you were prowling around
You're very kind, Kazuma-san.
is at the very foot of the mountain.
I noticed it when we were walking to school this morning:
The Twin Peaks are like this,
You take smaller steps when walking with Ayumu-kun.
and since they look like two mountains stuck together
You're matching Ayumu-kun's pace, right?
they’re called the Twin Peaks.
You are?
There’s an old legend associated with that mountain.
Sorry, I didn't notice at all.
Long, long ago, a heavenly couple lived on top of that mountain.
Don't worry, I was doing it of my own accord...
They were so infatuated with each other though that they paid
You
don't really have to-
no more attention to their daily work and the god of the heavens
A-Anyway, Ui, you said
you
were going to show me around the city
.
became so angry, they say he split the mountain’s top in half.
Where are
you
going
to take me
?
They were separated forever.
Let's see...
That’s a lot like the story of Tanabata.
I guess we should start here!
They say that ever since, those two have been calling
A convenience store...
to each other from the peaks saying
It's on the way to school, so a lot of Hiko South students come here often.
"I long for you. I want to be with you."
Hiko South?
Isn’t that...
Yamabiko South High School, a.k.a. Hiko South.
Yes, it’s about the echo.
That's what they call it, the extension of our middle school included.
They say that the power of their words
This convenience store is open from 7 A.M. to 10 P.M.!
flowed down into the valley and saturated the lands,
Don't you find it amazing that you can buy snacks after dark?
and their love for each other made it to the village
But that's how they do it only recently.
and bore great fruits...
Actually...
They
say that that is the origin of the name of this region.
I wonder when it closed back then...
In the fall, we have a festival that celebrates that legend.
How about it, want to go buy something?
They place a float at both ends of the bridge,
Nope, let's go to Yahoo if you're going to buy snacks.
representing the Twin Peaks,
Huh? Yahoo?
and perform a
ritual.
Yahou Store...?
And t
hen
, the
Kotama Shrine-
The correct way to read it is "Yakata Store."
That’s it!
But everyone's been calling it Yahoo, ever since they were little.
We should
go to Kotama Shrine
next
!
What exactly did you buy in there?
The stone steps going up to it are really long!
Well, first...
So these are the stone steps.
...delicious cheese flavored sticks, you see.
It really is
a
long
climb.
And delicious cheese flavored sticks.
It’
s a race
, Kazu!
Followed up by delicious cheese flavored sticks.
G
ood luck!
Cheese flavored, cheese flavored, cheese flavored!
Daigo catch!
They're all cheese flavored!
Those two sure have a lot of energy.
I like these, after all.
Yeah, huh.
I see. So that's why it tasted like cheese.
We’ll take it leisurely, Ayumu.
N-No! That can't be true!
Let’s go.
It shouldn't have tasted like cheese...
A race?
Huh, really?
Those two really are so childish.
I thought you mixed some cheese into those muffins you shared during lunch. They had a funny taste.
Done!
Y-You're right!
You’re really fast, Kazu!
There was some cream cheese mixed in the batter, yeah...
I-
I guess
so.
That's a pine ball.
Huh?
It's made of pine needles.
Madoka
?
They tend to hang it from their roof whenever they have a new batch of sake ready.
She’
s a
freshman
at our school.
You sure know a lot, Tsumugi-san.
Her name
i
s Madoka
.
I only learned about it from someone else, though.
T
his is the
new
transfer
student
.
The girl from this store is a friend of mine, and she told me about it.
I
’m Kazuma
Hoshino
.
This is also where we get the sake we serve at Yorozuyo.
Hoshino
?
There seem to be more stores around here.
So this is the shopping district.
All right!
To begin with, this is the flower shop.
The storekeeper just got married!
The people at the bike store further down just had a baby.
And the owner of the soba restaurant recently sprained his ankle playing baseball, so they had to close down.
The ramen restaurant on that corner is famous for its stubborn owner.
But I highly recommend trying their ramen!
Then I guess we'll give it a shot next time.
Oh, and the only son of the set meal café over there is studying for entrance exams.
The book store over here just had five kittens, which are looking for new owners.
And the couple running the vegetable shop that way is in the middle of a big fight!
You know a lot about these things, Kasane-chan.
Well, they don't call me the Girl with Devil's Ears of Yamabiko for nothing.
Gosh, Kasane.
You can't get enough of those rumors, can you?
Where should we go next?
The Twin Mountains!
Hey, we're going hiking?
I wanted to show Kazu-kun the observatory!
The observatory...
So those Twin Mountains are the ones I got lost in yesterday.
You were only wandering around the base, though.
They call it Twin Mountains because they're like two mountains stuck together.
Actually, there goes a legend about that mountain:
Long time ago, a god and a goddess used to live atop that mountain.
They
spent so much time being together and ignored their duties,
that God, who was angered by their indolence, split the tip of the mountain, and the two apart.
That sounds a little like the Tanabata folk tale.
Ever since then, the two kept exchanging words like "I love you" and "I want to see you."
So, those are...
Yes, they're referring to echoes.
Their words bouncing between the mountains filled the plains.
Their longing for each other brought great harvests for the people of the valley.
That's said to be the origin of the name of this place: Yamabiko.
There's a festival in Autumn based on this tale.
We put two floats on either side of the bridge,
and perform a
sacred ceremony relaying both of them to the peaks of the mountains.
That's w
hen
at
Kotama Shrine-
Oh, right!
Let's
go to Kotama Shrine
!
There's a really looong flight of stairs over there!
You were... certainly not kidding.
It really is

Kazu-kun, it'
s a race
to the top!
Onii-chan, g
ood luck!
Right...
Daigo, take this!
S-Sure...
Those two sure are energetic.
You can say that again.
Ayumu-kun, let's take it slowly.
Okay!
They're like little kids, racing to the top...
Kazu-kun, you're pretty fast!

I'm sure a wormhole in the time-space continuum just opened up in front of me!
I think a warp in space-time just occurred!
Ui, you have some cream on your mouth.
Hey, Ui.

There’s some cream on your lip.
This must be variation of calling your preschool teacher "Mom," right?

Something like me calling my mother "Mom" at school, huh?
Huh?
It's different in your case.
This is one of the manifestations of the social phenomenon called

"Calling Your Kindergarten Teacher Mom."
Ayumu-kun kept calling you "Onii-chan," so I got carried away...
Is that like me calling my mom "Mom" in class?
You

Your case is different.
I am.

They're taking their sweet time this morning
.
You two sure are sleeping late today
.
I guess it's about time I woke them up.
If I don’t wake you up, you’re going to be late.
Gosh, Onii-chan... It's sticking up again.
It’s really standing straight up.
It's not my fault. This is what happens in the morning sometimes.
I can’t help it.
Sticking up in the morning?!
It gets this way sometimes in the morning.
It just won't calm down until I take care of it.
It stands straight up in the mornings...
Hurry up and do it already.
It never gets better unless I do it for you.
Does this mean...?
Yeah yeah, just do it.
Okay, here I go.
They can’t be talking about...!
Stop!
Okay. Here I go...
No sexual relationships Well, this would be considered homosexual, but incest makes it even worse!
STOP!
Oh?
What you’re about to do is a highly impure act!
Don't be silly.
And a homosexual one...
You could've just said he had bad bed hair.
...and what’s worse, it’s incestuous!
I completely misinterpreted your words!
Oh...
You take smaller steps when walking with Ayumu-kun.
If you meant your hair was sticking straight up,
You
'
re matching
Ayumu-kun's pace, right?
you could’ve just said so!
What

And here my imagination was running wild!
Nothing.
Nothing at all

When you walk with your brother,
Yo, B

you deliberately make your stride shorter.
Oh, it's just

Didn’t he supposedly

I told you that was only a misunderstanding.
Well, that’s the rumor, anyway!
I know, don't get angry!
Is it me, or are people spreading weird rumors about me?
You've only mentioned it two or three times, but you've actually done it five times, right?
Well, the kid from the big city would have gotten
That's not the misunderstanding!

but then you had to go and do THAT.
Oh, n

It would be weirder if nobody was talking about you.
It

over!
But I’m telling you, that was just a misunderstanding, a mix up!
Minamikokubaro-sensei's homerooms take forever.
I get it, I get it!
Hey, let's go hang out somewhere.
So you had to "mix it up"
I'm starving...
by doing some crazy stuff to her, huh?
Even though you ate all that for lunch?
Not that kind of mix up!
Don't give me that I-don't-get-it look.

Hey,

Stalking me from the shadows everywhere I go...
You had so much food at lunch.

I-I'm fine! I was just kind of at loss for words since you bumped into me so suddenly.
I’m fine!
I feel that many problems may surface now that you've run all the way here and suddenly grabbed me.
It’s just that when something like this happens suddenly,
I also think some steps ought to be taken before advancing to this stage.
I don’t know what to do!
More importantly, it's somehow embarrassing when you're doing this to me...
I mean, to be suddenly run at and touched by someone,
So could you please
...
let go?
it could be somewhat problematic I believe,
I-I said

Her grandfather taught it to her

Tsundere ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 01v1 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][6E7CBBEC] You're up, Onii-chan. Yeah. What is it, Ayumu? What are you looking at? Should I take your bag for you? I'll be fine. We're finally here! This place is pretty quiet. It's quiet because we're out in the countryside. The air's pretty clean here, though. It'll be good for your health. Yeah. Let's see, there should be a bus from Yamabiko station... Ayumu, we're getting on that! Okay. I'm glad we didn't have to wait for a bus. Yeah. Onii-chan, you've been to Yamabiko before, right? Yeah, Dad brought me here before. And we'll be staying at the Yorozuyo Inn, just like you did on your last visit? Yeah. What's the place like? I've only stayed there once, so I don't really remember. Let's see... It was an old building... And a beautiful river ran in front of it. There was also a lot of greenery in the yard. It was my first time there, but I felt like I'd been there before. Dad is apparently friends with the previous inn owner, so that's why they took us in. I see. Ayumu, what's wrong? I think this bus is heading in the opposite direction from Yorozuyo... Look, it says that Yorozuyo is in the same direction as Yamabiko. Onii-chan, the next bus comes... ...an hour later?! The countryside sucks... The bus still isn't here. And it won't be coming here for a while, either. Look, Onii-chan! What is it, Ayumu? Over there! A monkey! A monkey? Come here! Onii-chan, the monkey's coming this way! Oh yeah, we had some snacks left over... Hey, you! Stop! Onii-chan... You screwing with me?! All right, this shouldn't be too deep... Don't you laugh at me! Damn it, stop running away! Ow... Damn it, you've caused me so much trouble... Onii-chan's taking so long. I'm lost. I hope there aren't bears around here... A-A girl?! Y-Yes, I'm a girl. So that's how you got lost. It's embarrassing. What were you doing there? I was collecting wild vegetables! I can make tempura, have it on the side, serve it with sour miso... I can put them in miso soup... It's also delicious to have them with rice! I-I see... After you cross this river and head straight, you'll come to a fork in the path. Once you head down the path, it'll take you straight to the bus stop. Thanks for taking the trouble to show me the way. You really helped me out. No problem at all. It's only natural to help those in need. Plus, you'd be in trouble if you stumbled across a bear! So there actually are bears around. All right, I'll demonstrate how to get across. Be sure to look! Well? Did you see it? N-No, I-I didn't! W-Well, I did, but... I didn't! A-Anyway, here I go. Wait, this is an unfortunate accident- You damn pervert! What the hell was that for?! Right back at you! How dare you take a girl to this deserted place, push her down forcefully, and... ...k-k-k... ...k-kiss her! I'm telling you, this was an accident. What? An accident? We wouldn't need the police if that counted as an accident! I'm taking you to the police, so you'd better be ready! Wait, Ibuki-chan! He's telling the truth. What happened really was just an accident! Ui... You'll get to the bus stop if you just stay on this path. All right. Well then... Whatever! Just go, you freak! Onii-chan! Huh, Onii-chan? What happened to you? Well... it's a long story. Yorozuyo So this is Yorozuyo. That doesn't look anything like an old building. Well, it's been a long time since I was here... So I guess they rebuilt the place. Welcome to Yorozuyo Inn. Um... we're Hoshino's- Are you Kazuma-kun? Hoshino-sensei's son?! Yes. You took so long that I was getting all worried! I would've driven to the station to pick you up if you'd just called! You must be his little brother, Ayumu-kun! It's true that you aren't very tall. Well, unlike where you used to live, the air is clean, and the food and water is good here. I'm sure you'll feel a lot better quickly. U-Uh... My my, what happened to you?! You should get in the bath... But before that, I'll take you to your rooms. Okay, follow me! I think I'll have you stay in the older section. I don't house customers here anymore, so feel free to treat it like your own home. The baths are at the new section, though. U-Um, Ma'am... Ma'am...? No, uh... Little Miss? You don't have to be that considerate. You can just call me Onee-san. Got a problem? None! Allow us to call you Nee-san! Nee-san? Well, whatever. So, do you have any questions? It's a little late to ask this, but are you the owner of this inn? Oh, I'm terribly sorry! I haven't even introduced myself yet. I'm Yorozu Senka, the owner of Yorozuyo Inn. I'll be taking over from Hoshino-sensei as your guardian starting today. Nice to meet you! This is the old section. This used to be the main entrance, but it's become the back entrance since the new section was built three years ago. Yorozuyo looks like a nice place. Yeah. This is your room, Kazuma-kun. Wow, so this'll be my ceiling. Pretty cool. Your room is on the other side of the corridor, Ayumu-kun. I have a lot of other rooms, but I'm sure you'd want one that's close. Yes. The inn owner in me wants to treat you to some tea first, but I think you'd rather take a bath instead. Yep, it's great how I'll get to use such a huge bath every day! S-Sorry! Hey, what was that for? Oh my, pink. I'll never get married now. Onii-chan, I'm coming in. 'Sup, Ayumu? Nee-san says we should come down for dinner. As a welcoming party of sorts, I have quite the feast for you tonight. The main course will be sushi and sake served on naked women. Whoa, Nee-san! That's just- Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot you can't drink sake because you're underage. No no no, that's not the problem here! All right, here we go! Don't, Ayumu! Don't look! Why? Geez, Kazuma-kun! You actually fell for it! Don't tell me you were looking forward to it? Nee-san... A lot has happened today. I fell from a tree... Got kicked... Saw it... Was seen... Was seen again... And... I should've asked for her name... Onii-chan, are you still awake? Ayumu? What's the matter? Why are you carrying a pillow? Don't tell me you can't fall asleep in this new place alone, so you want to sleep with me? Wait, I'm right? Can I? Fine. But only for tonight. Yep. Okay, I'm turning the lights off. Good night, Onii-chan. Good night. I'm done. You're done already? Yes, I'm full. I see... Morning! Ah, your guide's here. Guide? You still don't know the way to school yet, right? That's why I asked a girl to show you the way. Her name is Toudou Tsumugi. She's a third-year at your school, Yamabiko South Academy. In other words, she's your senpai. Tsumugi has worked in this inn for a long time. Didn't you already meet her yesterday? Huh? Whoa, the girl in the- I-I sincerely apologize for what happened! It's fine, I couldn't really see it. Since it wasn't very big at all, I'm not surprised. That's harsh! So you came all the way to Yamabiko for Ayumu's sake? Ayumu's body is pretty fragile. So my dad figured it'd be better for him to live somewhere where the air's clean. Doesn't your dad write novels? Yeah. Well, my parents are planning on buying a house here and moving in. But they have work and stuff to sort out, apparently. Since there's school and all, they figured it'd be better if we came here earlier to settle in. So that's why we're here first. I see. Ayumu-kun's subsidiary middle school is across this bridge. And this road ahead will take us to our school, Yamabiko South Academy. Ayumu-kun, it's a straightforward path to your school, so you'll get there if you follow people with the same uniform as you. Okay, I'll be fine on my own. Off I go, Onii-chan. Okay, take care. Uh... we should get going. Y-Yeah. Ui. Hey, Ui! What? What's the matter? You're spacing out even more than usual. Don't tell me you were thinking about what happened yesterday. I wasn't! I wasn't thinking about what happened yesterday at all! Really? I hope so. Everyone, quiet please. I'm sure some of you already know this, but we have a new class member joining us today. Hoshino, come in. You're the girl from yesterday! Then that means... The first episode of the new brother-love anime Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi! Did you enjoy it? Nee-san, why did you have to make it sound so weird? It's not weird. Brotherly love is right! Right in a way that doesn't involve sexual jokes! Ayumu-kun, do the next episode preview in the name of justice! Next on Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi. Episode two: This shouldn't taste like cheese. Now which part of the body would taste like cheese... P-Please, look forward to the next episode! ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 02 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][9480EF6C] Ui, you sure look happy when you're eating. Ui loves cake! And I really, really, really love you too, Onii-chan! Thank you. There's some cream on your mouth, Ui. Oh, right... Yesterday, I... Hoshino, come in. You're the girl from yesterday! Wh-Why are you at our school? What do you mean? I just transferred here... What choice did I have? But we didn't have to end up in the same class! Hinata, don't be ridiculous. There's only one class per grade level at this school. There are no other classes for second-years. W-Well, I know that, but... Though, I didn't expect a transfer student to be acquainted with Hinata. I don't know this person! Then what is it? Well, uh... Oh, never mind. Hoshino, go ahead and introduce yourself. Sure. Hoshino Kazuma I'm Hoshino Kazuma. I transferred here due to certain family circumstances. Nice to meet you all. Well then, as for your seat... Hold it right there! Won't we be getting a minute to ask awkward personal questions, Mom? I told you not to call me "Mom"! Call me "Sensei" at school! What's wrong with it? You're my parent. I may be your mother, but you should learn that there's proper time and place for such things, you stupid boy! Come on, you address me as your son all the time. Don't talk back to me! Too slow! Hoshino, that will be your seat. Huh? Where am I supposed to sit then?! Don't you worry, I have an idea. Kazu-kun, nice to meet you. Since your name is Kazuma-kun, I shortened it to Kazu-kun. Shouldn't I? I don't mind, but... what's your name? Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Nakatsugawa Ui. Just call me Ui. I'm Ibuki. Hinata Ibuki. Pleased to make your acquaintance. L-Likewise... Hinata, you're the class president. Make sure you look after our new transfer student. Of course, I've got it. And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: Question Time! Do you have any hobbies? What's your favorite food? What about your height, weight, sitting height, zodiac sign, and blood type? Are you a virgin, or perhaps- Don't ask me all at once- What's your relation with Ibuki? You know her, don't you? No, he absolutely does not! I don't know this pervert. Pervert...? What else am I supposed to call you? Just because you hop around deep in the mountains doesn't mean you can ki- It's because you knocked her over! Say what?! Ibuki-chan, I told you that was only a misunderstanding... Wait, you were the one he knocked over? I knew you'd end up in that situation at least once, Nakatsugawa Ui! You're not always getting yourself in troubl-Ui for nothing! Hey, stop causing more misunderstandings! And what's this misunderstanding? I told you it was an accident! An accident? Seriously?! You don't seem to be able to understand me, no matter how many times I try to explain it! I don't even want to understand anything about what happened, or you in genera- Open up page 23 in your textbooks. All right, this is yesterday's review... Kazu-kun. If you don't have your own textbook- I'll let you have a look at mine. Things would only get more complicated if I were to let you get any closer to Ui. Ah, it's finally lunch. Feeding time. I'm so hungry right now! Minamikokubaru-kun. You can just call me Daigo. Well then, Daigo... I'd like to go buy some bread for lunch at the cafeteria... I'm buying bread too, so off to the cafeteria we go, Bro! Wait, what's up with the "Bro"? You can't go knocking girls over in the mountains on a whim. I shall call you my bro, as a sign of respect and friendship! Ui... If you can't wait any longer, then just go ahead and eat. But... Kazu-kun, Daigo! Hurry, hurry! I can't believe Ui the gluttonous monster would actually wait for us. That's huge! Ta-da! Today's veggie green rice! Are you seriously going to eat this alone? Of course not. I brought side dishes in a different container as well. I even have muffins my Mom baked for dessert. This is quite normal for her. Say... Are those the wild vegetables you were picking in the mountains? Yup, that's wight. Ui, don't talk with your mouth full. Now that you mention it, why were you there yesterday? Wh-Why wouldn't I be there? I was just taking a walk. Oh, I know! You were on the way to the observatory. The observatory? Yup. There's an observatory a little way further up that mountain. We've been going there since were were kids; it's our favorite spot. The view is really nice, and when you scream "You idiot!" at times when you're stressed, you suddenly feel much better. You always shout "Yahoo" whenever you go up there, though, regardless of your stress level. I think it's really encouraging to hear a yahoo coming back whenever I call out; I can't help it. Is that so...? You're going to give me a tour of the city? Yeah. You don't know much about Yamabiko since you just moved here, right? So I thought I'd show you around. That would be nice. Then I'm coming with you. There's no telling what you might do to Ui if I leave you two alone. Obviously, I'm tagging along. All right, let's all go togethe- In that case, would you mind if I brought my brother with me? Not at all! Brother of my brother, is also a brother of mine! Kazu-kun, you have a brother? Yeah. We moved here together. He's attending the middle school here from today on. Hey, Ayumu? I wonder what his brother's like. I'm at school right now, what about you? I'm sure a pervert's brother can't be any good. Okay, sure. Wait for me at the bridge, then. Later. Tsumugi-san... So you were waiting for me? Yes. I figured you might get lost on your way home, since you're not familiar with this place yet. Thanks for looking out for me. Tsumugi-senpai cares so much about you! All the guys at school admire her, you know! She's too good for Kazuma! Oh, but... will Ayumu be all right? No, I suppose he'll be fine since we're going to meet up at the bridge. You sure worry about Ayumu-kun all the time. It's okay, though. I've seen to it that he'll manage just fine. Mugi-nee! Thanks. You stayed with him, right? Tsumugi-san, who is she? This is my sister, Kasane. She's in the same class as Ayumu-kun, so I asked her to watch over him. So... This is Kazu-kun's... ...brother? N-Nice to meet you, I'm Hoshino Ayumu. So... ...cute! Oh, so you're Ayumu-kun! Y-Yes. But you're not very simila- Hey, Ui! Yeah! Just because you're oblivious by nature doesn't mean you can say anything! What do you mean? Don't you think it's a little strange for his brother to be this cute? Exactly! There must be some complicated family matters behind this. Hey, stop wondering about things in the weirdest ways! We have the same parents! I'm actually related to him by blood! That's a lie! There's no way your little brother can be this cute! Come on! If you really are related by blood as you so claim... ...this must be the result of a genetic prank that God only knows. You people... I knew it. You're very kind, Kazuma-san. I noticed it when we were walking to school this morning: You take smaller steps when walking with Ayumu-kun. You're matching Ayumu-kun's pace, right? You are? Sorry, I didn't notice at all. Don't worry, I was doing it of my own accord... You don't really have to- A-Anyway, Ui, you said you were going to show me around the city. Where are you going to take me? Let's see... I guess we should start here! A convenience store... It's on the way to school, so a lot of Hiko South students come here often. Hiko South? Yamabiko South High School, a.k.a. Hiko South. That's what they call it, the extension of our middle school included. This convenience store is open from 7 A.M. to 10 P.M.! Don't you find it amazing that you can buy snacks after dark? But that's how they do it only recently. Actually... I wonder when it closed back then... How about it, want to go buy something? Nope, let's go to Yahoo if you're going to buy snacks. Huh? Yahoo? Yahou Store...? The correct way to read it is "Yakata Store." But everyone's been calling it Yahoo, ever since they were little. What exactly did you buy in there? Well, first... ...delicious cheese flavored sticks, you see. And delicious cheese flavored sticks. Followed up by delicious cheese flavored sticks. Cheese flavored, cheese flavored, cheese flavored! They're all cheese flavored! I like these, after all. I see. So that's why it tasted like cheese. N-No! That can't be true! It shouldn't have tasted like cheese... Huh, really? I thought you mixed some cheese into those muffins you shared during lunch. They had a funny taste. Y-You're right! There was some cream cheese mixed in the batter, yeah... That's a pine ball. It's made of pine needles. They tend to hang it from their roof whenever they have a new batch of sake ready. You sure know a lot, Tsumugi-san. I only learned about it from someone else, though. The girl from this store is a friend of mine, and she told me about it. This is also where we get the sake we serve at Yorozuyo. There seem to be more stores around here. So this is the shopping district. All right! To begin with, this is the flower shop. The storekeeper just got married! The people at the bike store further down just had a baby. And the owner of the soba restaurant recently sprained his ankle playing baseball, so they had to close down. The ramen restaurant on that corner is famous for its stubborn owner. But I highly recommend trying their ramen! Then I guess we'll give it a shot next time. Oh, and the only son of the set meal café over there is studying for entrance exams. The book store over here just had five kittens, which are looking for new owners. And the couple running the vegetable shop that way is in the middle of a big fight! You know a lot about these things, Kasane-chan. Well, they don't call me the Girl with Devil's Ears of Yamabiko for nothing. Gosh, Kasane. You can't get enough of those rumors, can you? Where should we go next? The Twin Mountains! Hey, we're going hiking? I wanted to show Kazu-kun the observatory! The observatory... So those Twin Mountains are the ones I got lost in yesterday. You were only wandering around the base, though. They call it Twin Mountains because they're like two mountains stuck together. Actually, there goes a legend about that mountain: Long time ago, a god and a goddess used to live atop that mountain. They spent so much time being together and ignored their duties, that God, who was angered by their indolence, split the tip of the mountain, and the two apart. That sounds a little like the Tanabata folk tale. Ever since then, the two kept exchanging words like "I love you" and "I want to see you." So, those are... Yes, they're referring to echoes. Their words bouncing between the mountains filled the plains. Their longing for each other brought great harvests for the people of the valley. That's said to be the origin of the name of this place: Yamabiko. There's a festival in Autumn based on this tale. We put two floats on either side of the bridge, and perform a sacred ceremony relaying both of them to the peaks of the mountains. That's when at Kotama Shrine- Oh, right! Let's go to Kotama Shrine! There's a really looong flight of stairs over there! You were... certainly not kidding. It really is long, Onii-chan. Kazu-kun, it's a race to the top! Onii-chan, good luck! Right... Daigo, take this! S-Sure... Those two sure are energetic. You can say that again. Ayumu-kun, let's take it slowly. Okay! They're like little kids, racing to the top... Kazu-kun, you're pretty fast! I-I guess. Oh, Madoka-chan? This girl's a first-year at our school. Her name's Madoka-chan. And this is the guy who transferred in today. I'm Hoshino Kazuma. Hoshino... Kazuma... Madoka-chan? Now you've pretty much seen everything. Let's end our trip down at the Bagpipe. The bag pipe? It's not a bag pipe, it's Bagpipe. It's a café we like to visit after school. The jumbo parfait there is really good! This is the jumbo parfait... That's huge, Onii-chan. So delicious! Wow, that hit the spot. Wait a second! I'm sure a wormhole in the time-space continuum just opened up in front of me! Ui, you have some cream on your mouth. Thank you, Onii-chan. This must be variation of calling your preschool teacher "Mom," right? Something like me calling my mother "Mom" at school, huh? It's different in your case. Sorry. Ayumu-kun kept calling you "Onii-chan," so I got carried away... You seem to be in a good mood, Ayumu. I am. I'm really glad we moved here now. What about you, Onii-chan? Yeah, same here. Kazu-kun's younger brother is Ayumu-kun. Ayumu-kun's older brother is Kazu-kun. I see. Kazu-kun was Onii-chan. Onii-chan, yours really is big... Ayumu, you on the other hand still have a long way to go. Excuse me for intruding on you two washing each other's back! Next time: Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode 3: Acorns hurt more than expected! Ayumu-kun, do you know where on your body it would hurt to put acorns in? Um... nostrils, maybe? Safe... ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 03 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][8FC0861D] Thank you for the ring... Now I'm... They're taking their sweet time this morning. I guess it's about time I woke them up. Gosh, Onii-chan... It's sticking up again. It's not my fault. This is what happens in the morning sometimes. Sticking up in the morning?! It just won't calm down until I take care of it. Hurry up and do it already. Does this mean...? Okay, here I go. Stop! No sexual relationships Well, this would be considered homosexual, but incest makes it even worse! Oh? Don't be silly. You could've just said he had bad bed hair. I completely misinterpreted your words! You take smaller steps when walking with Ayumu-kun. You're matching Ayumu-kun's pace, right? What's up? Nothing. Nothing at all. Yo, Bro! Oh, it's just Daigo. All pumped up this early in the morning, I see. How are you doing, my brother's brother? Just fine! Good morning, Daigo-san. I'll get going then. Be careful! Excuse me, Kazuma-san? Perhaps we should get a move on... Kazu-kun, Daigo! Good morning! Morning, Ui! And Hinata... Hey! What's up with the annoyed expression? I have no such Hold it! You can't trick me! No, I didn't mean to. I just had a feeling we were being watched by someone... Lunchtime, lunchtime, lunchtime, hooray! Lunchtime, lunchtime, lunchtime, hooray! Make sure you get back quickly once you've bought your bread. Lunchtime, lunchtime, lots and lots of food! Ui's going to make our desk all sticky with her drool otherwise... Lots of food That's not true! I brought a handkerchief! So there will be drool... Hey, is that the guy? Yeah, the one who transferred in from the city. I heard he suddenly pushed a girl down deep in the mountains. That's right! And the rumor has it that There seem to be some strange rumors going around about me... Given that you came from the city and you did, well, you know... I'd find it strange if there weren't any. I told you that was only a misunderstanding. I know, don't get angry! You've only mentioned it two or three times, but you've actually done it five times, right? That's not the misunderstanding! What's wrong, Bro? Oh, nothing. It's finally over! Minamikokubaro-sensei's homerooms take forever. Hey, let's go hang out somewhere. I'm starving... Even though you ate all that for lunch? Don't give me that I-don't-get-it look. Give it up, Bro. That's just how she is. Hold this! S-Sure... What happened to him? No idea. Hey, wait a sec! Stalking me from the shadows everywhere I go... Hold it! Safe... Wait. You're the girl from that shrine. Sorry, I must've surprised you. Are you okay? I-I'm fine! I was just kind of at loss for words since you bumped into me so suddenly. I feel that many problems may surface now that you've run all the way here and suddenly grabbed me. I also think some steps ought to be taken before advancing to this stage. More importantly, it's somehow embarrassing when you're doing this to me... So could you please... let go? I-I said... let go! I-I'm so sorry! Kazuma-san? Are you all right? Nurse's Office Ow, ow, ow! Androphobia? That might be an overstatement, but Madoka-chan does have some issues with men because her grandfather was so strict. If a guy she's not familiar with gets too close to her, she panics just like she did earlier. So what was all that? I'm not too sure myself, but I think it's a defensive martial art of sorts. Her grandfather taught it to her to keep flirts away. Flirts... It certainly was unfortunate, but please don't think badly of her because of this. Oh, of course I won't. Thank you. I knew you were kind, Kazuma-san. You sure slept in. Good morning. It's almost noon. Aren't you relaxing a little too much, even for a Sunday? Sorry, I stayed up late last night. Ayumu-kun went out already. He left with his sketchbook saying he's going to draw the scenery. You should eat your breakfast, and go and take a walk or something as well! I can't clean the room while you're in it. All right. I'll take a walk, but where should I go? Well, the weather's nice. I suppose I'll just stroll around a little. Ouch! My back still hurts... Androphobia? Madoka-chan does have some issues with men because her grandfather was so strict. Maybe that wasn't the best move. I guess I better go apologize to her. I don't know if she's around, but I might as well give it a try. She's there, she's not. She's there, she's not. She's there, she's not. She's there, she's not. She's there, she's not. She's there. You're here! Wait! I'm sorry about what happened! I-I'm also... Please, forgive me! I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to do that. My body reacted on its own before I even noticed what I was doing. It was my fault for grabbing your shoulders in the first place. Koumoto-san, there's nothing to apologize for. Thank you very much. I'm relieved to hear that. Oh, and you can call me Madoka. You're my senpai, so please don't hesitate to do so. In that case, go ahead and call me Kazuma too. Okay, Senpa Kazuma-san... I guess I'll get going now, Madoka-chan... Please, wait! There's something I want to ask you. Ask me? Y-Yes. I'm not sure whether I should be asking this... It's about Nakatsugawa-senpai... Is it true that you knocked her over in the mountains and, uh, did things to her? I see. You slipped on a stepping stone in the river. Exactly. I tried to jump to the other side, but I took a dive instead. I understand. When I was young, I used to play there often and fell down many times, too. Yeah... So what happened there was an accident. I didn't do any "things" to her Well, I did accidentally kiss her... That happened because I slipped and fell on top of her, though. You kissed her?! Well, you see... Over there... with Nakatsugawa-senpai... Why? An acorn? The Heavens call! The Earth calls! The people call! They call upon me to vanquish this evil! My name is Toudou Koyori! I've arrived here to punish the evildoer! You city insect, Hoshino Kazuma! I cannot forgive you for disrupting the peace of our lovely Yamabiko! H-Hey, wait! What is all this, popping out of nowhere and calling me an insect?! Besides, when did I disrupt anyone's peace? Don't play dumb, Hoshino Kazuma! The tales of you poisoning Ui-cchu have reached my ears! Huh? Ui-cchu? Are you talking about Ui? Who else?! I've been saying it was just a misunderstanding! Really? A misunderstanding was it? Then what's your excuse for making Madoka cry?! That I'm not really sure about myself... No need for further questions then! Ow, ow, ow! Hey! Take this, and this, and this! Stop it, Koyori-chan! He wasn't the one who made me cry! It's not Kazuma-san's fault! So please, stop hurting him! Hoshino Kazuma, I'll trust Madoka's words and will forgive you this time! But if you make her cry again, you'll face my wrath! Poof. Screw you! You're supposed to crouch and cover your eyes when I say poof! Otherwise I can't disappear! I'm not familiar with the infantile local guidelines... Poof! Poof! Poof, poof! Hey hey, let's stop by Bagpipe on our way home today. I'll have to pass today. I have club activities. Oh, I see. How about you, Kazu-kun? I'm in. Hinata, what club are you in? Ibuki-chan does archery! Archery? She's really good! They call her Hiko South's Robin... Robin... what was it again? Mask, of course. Yeah, you're right! No, you're not! It's Robin Hood! Robin Hood! But you must be really good at it for people to call you that. Yup! She's our representative for the next prefectural tournament. T-That doesn't matter! But in that case... Ui and my Bro over here will be going home alone. You have some errands too, Daigo? Actually, I have to stay for extra English classes! Not something you'd say to act cool. Listen up! I believe you know this already, but if you try to do something funny to Ui on your way home, you won't get away with it! R-Roger. That Hinata... What did she mean by "something funny"? Don't you agree? Y-Yeah, you're right. Ibuki-chan's such a dummy. Ayumu! Onii-chan. And Ui-san, too. Hello, Ayumu-kun! Onii-chan, I joined the art club. I see. You're really good at drawing, after all. I didn't know that. Can you draw a picture of me next time? No? I'm not all that good, so I'm not sure... Ayumu, you're a little red. N-No, I'm not. Show me your forehead. I just want to check if you have a fever. Do you have to do it here? Come on. You do have a little fever. I'm fine! What are you saying? You should consider your health. What are we going to do if it gets worse later? But... Get on, I'll give you a ride to Yorozuyo. It's okay! I can walk home on my own. Just get on. Ui, sorry, but could you take my bag? Sure. Ayumu-kun, you shouldn't push yourself when you have a fever. If I recall correctly, Onii-chan used to carry me around a lot... My legs hurt! I can't walk anymore! What am I going to do with you? Come on, I'll give you a ride home. Okay... How nice. I'd like to be carried that way. Oh, Ayumu-kun has a fever and I'm imagining these things... But... Sorry for making you wait. How's Ayumu-kun doing? He fell asleep holding onto my hand right after I gave him some medicine against cold. I'm sure he'll be fine by tomorrow. Thank goodness it wasn't anything major. You're a really good brother to him, Kazu-kun. I'm kind of jealous of Ayumu-kun. I-It's not like I want you to give me a piggyback ride, or have you feel my forehead... Your forehead? W-W-W-Wha Excuse my interruption. Oh my, looks like I really did interrupt something. Well then. Have a nice time, you two. Nee-san, what are you doing? Geez... I wasn't supposed to eat these? What's going on?! Say, Kazuma-kun, what kind of girls do you like? Next time: Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode 4: She met a bear and talked to it. Don't ignore me by using previews! Tell me! Let's see... Energetic girls with long hair, who are just fun to be around... What did you say?! Ui-cchu matches that perfectly! In order words, she's like your Strike Uitch, Onii-chan! Ayumu, that barely works! ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 04 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][D18C3361] To-buy list... Taro potatoes, carrots, konnyaku gelatin, gobou roots... "Okay," there. We lucked out! Are they really that good? I'm gonna take a piss! Oh, right! Catch! Man, I can't believe we were able to get our hands on Nozawana Cream Sandwiches. We lucked out! Are they really that good? I'm gonna take a piss! Oh, right! Catch! Ouch... Sorry, I didn't see you! You dropped this... Good. It doesn't seem to be broken. Mail Sent . Thanks. Pretty cute. Don't mock me! Um, I wasn't trying to... It's just that my brother likes these, so... Sorry to keep you waiting! What's wrong, Bro? Isn't that Sakai-senpai? You know her? Huh? Know her? Sakai Hina, a third-year, is the only daughter and heir of the famous Sakai Distillery. Together with Tsumugi-san, she stands as the other Venus of this school! If you were to call Tsumugi-san the fluffy, warm, big sister type, Sakai-senpai, on the other hand, would be the cool beauty! Due to her model-like height and deep, cold stare, the boys voted her as the number one person they want to be scolded by, and the girls voted her as their number one target to give Valentine's chocolate to! Everyone adores her! So she's my senpai... Wow, cool beauty! What just happened might've been a little bad then... Scold me, scold me more I have always been the tallest person in my class ever since I was little, and always ended up sitting in the back. Nobody ever called me cute before. That's why when he said I was cute, I was sure he was just mocking me... He wasn't talking about me, though. I'm so embarrassed... Really? I didn't know this school held a sports festival around this time of the year. Dass wight. Ui, don't talk with food in your mouth. Since we don't have many students, we hold the festival together with the middle school. It's pretty entertaining, actually. Don't forget the Hikonan Race! Hikonan Race? What's that? In simple terms, it's a city-wide marathon. But since that alone would be boring, you have to complete tasks at certain checkpoints to proceed. They award prizes to the top runners, so it's the focal point of the sports festival! Are you going to participate as the Bagpipe representative again? Yeah! The owner is really kind to us, so we have to return the favor. How do you represent a café? The Hikonan Race is being sponsored by the neighborhood association, so basically all contestants enter as representatives of a certain store. And because it's such a large local event, TV crews gather here to cover it. So they're going to broadcast it? Not really. It'll turn into a small piece on the local news at best. But they'll interview you if you win! It's the perfect kind of advertisement, so people down at the shopping district always get pretty serious about it. Well, there's that, but I think they hold this event to give everyone in the town a boost of energy! I see. Well, I guess this doesn't really concern me. I'm home! Wh-What is it, Nee-san? Kazuma-kun. Yes? It's training time! Huh? I'll be the Yorozuyo representative in the Hikonan Race?! Ayumu-kun told me that you're in a good shape thanks to the tennis team you were on at your last school. It's not good... No need to be modest. I noticed those tight muscles around your crotch when you were coming out of the bath. Stop looking at me like that! I'm still underage! All right, let's begin your training. Listen up! This rag is soaked with glass cleaner! And you use this one to wipe it off! Apply the cleaner, wipe the cleaner! Apply the cleaner, wipe the cleaner! Now, give it a try. Apply the cleaner, wipe the cleaner. Apply the cleaner, wipe the cleaner. And what exactly is the point of this training? To get the windows nice and clean. Nee-san! Well, that's enough fooling around. Now it's time for the real thing. So what am I supposed to do next? Once you've heated up the sand in a wok... ...jam your fingertips into it hundreds and thousands of times! This will make your fingertips harder than steel, and you'll be able to use the legendary one-hit-K.O. assassination technique I'll do some running then. Wait, Kazuma-kun! He sure doesn't catch on to things. Hey! Up here! Wh-Why did you climb up there? I was saving a kitty that couldn't get down from this tree. A kitty? Anyway, what were you planning to do with my stuff?! I wasn't doing anything. I know! You were trying to steal the special on-sale items you found! As if... ...I'd do that. Then why do you keep averting your eyes? Is it not because you feel guilt in your heart?! Well, that's because... Because? Spit it out, Hoshino Kazuma! Y-Your skirt... you see... My skirt? Watch out! I can't breathe... Wh-What do you think you're doing?! Ouch... What I'm doing? I just saved you. Indeed you did. Thanks. I'd never guess you were Tsumugi-san's sister... What the hell?! You were thinking something rude just now, right? Oh, I wouldn't dare. By the way, it seems like you bought quite a lot. Shopping for ingredients? No, I'm bringing this to Gen-jii. Gen-jii? Gen-jii lives alone. He can't go shopping on his own, so I do it for him once in a while. Why would you do that, though? Well... It's only natural to help someone in need. Give me that bag. So you really were after this! No, I'm not! I'm just offering to carry it for you! Wh-Why would you? Why? I thought it was only natural to help someone in need. Besides, I can't let a girl carry heavy stuff while I'm not holding anything. A-A girl? Fine, you can take one. One? All right, I'm coming. N-Nice to meet you. I sure was surprised. I didn't know Koyori-chan had a boyfriend. Wh-What are you saying, Gen-jii?! He's just a terrible guy from the city! He pushed Ui-cchu down and made Madoka cry! He's a criminal! There's no way he'd be my b-b... ...boyfriend! No way at all! Well... The name's Gengorou. Yamakawa Gengorou. I don't mind if you call me Gen-jii like Koyori does, though. I-It's fine. Gengorou-san, do you live here alone? Yes. My only daughter got married, and my wife passed away three years ago. I see. I'm sorry for asking... There's nothing to be sorry about. You're still young. You should understand that an old man living alone has it pretty easy. My grandson, Keita, will be going through surgery soon, though. I've been anxious about it because he seems to be quite scared. Is is that complicated? No, the doctor says that the vast majority of those operations go without any complications, but since he's still a child, I guess he's scared of it nonetheless. Sorry, Koyori-chan, but could you pay Keita another visit? It seems having you around cheers him up the most. Of course I will! Leave it to me! Pretty cute. Don't mock me. Maybe I was a little mean. That's right. All he did was call me cute. The way you reacted was unacceptable, though. I guess so... I should apologize to him. You sure slept in. Good morning. It's already noon. Just because it's Sunday, it doesn't mean you can slack off all you want. I'm tired because I'm training for the Hikonan Race. Ayumu-kun went out ages ago. Sketching again? No, I think he said he was going over to Daigo-kun's place. Daigo's place? Why would Ayumu go to Daigo's house? I'm surprised. I didn't think you'd be training for real, even if you are entering the Hikonan Race. I can't slack off, now that I know I'll be participating. Are you going to participate too? Me? I'm not. Then why? Self-training. For the archery club, that is. Are you wearing that because of the club rules? Not exactly. You should wear a P.E. uniform when exercising, right? She doesn't seem to mind wearing that out of school one bit. This must be the "culture gap" I've heard of. Makes you realize this place is rural all over again. Here. You're thirsty, aren't you? I can't bear to watch that pleading look on your face, so I'll let you have some. Are you okay with that? This would mean an indirect kiss The same spot...! Gosh, you're so stupid! By the way... Ui said she'll be entering the Hikonan Race as well, but is she actually training? I think she's training in her own special way... One large all-in ramen, right up! All right, get ready to time me! On your mark. Get set! Go! Yes? Keita-kun, your Grandpa's here to see you. Yo. Grandpa! Koyori-chan, too. Keita, are you doing well? If I were, I wouldn't be stuck in the hospital. Don't be so rude, Keita. Koyori-chan came to pay you a visit. Keita, you can be energetic even when you're sick, you know! Actually, it's best to be energetic when you're sick. Use that energy to blow your sickness away! That's right, Keita. It's just as Koyori-chan says. Besides, you'll be fine once you have your surgery. O-Okay. If I do as you say, will I really be able to blow the sickness away? Of course! Energetic people can do anything! I read in a textbook that a famous person in the past said the same thing! In that case, Koyori-neechan, can you win the next Hikonan Race? You can do anything if you're energetic, right? Then you should...! Keita, you can't bother Koyori-chan with such nonsense. But... All right! I'll enter the Hikonan Race! I'll win it, too! But Koyori-chan... But if I win, you'll have to get more energetic too! You're going to have that surgery and become even more energetic! Promise me that! Pinky promise! Okay! Pinky promise. It's a promise, you'll have to swallow a thousand needles if you break it. Pinky promise! Sakai Distillery This month's looking tough, too. I guess I'll cut my husband's allowance. Hey, where's Hina? Do you need her? I was hoping she'd help me deliver some stuff. She went running. She's training for the Hikonan Race, apparently. What are you doing here? Waah, waah! I'm sad! I was abandoned here! You poor thing. Aren't you lonely out here? Yeah. Then would you like to stay at my house? Huh? Can I? Sure. D-Did he hear all that? N-No, I don't think he did. You dropped this. Th-Thank you... S-See you then. Oh! Wh-What? Sakai-senpai, right? Yes, that's me. I'm sorry about what happened at school. I had no idea you were my senpai; I was rude. I don't mind. I see. That's good. I missed my chance to apologize again. I've been slacking off. I guess should push myself for once. And... start! Sorry, I must've surprised you. I-It's okay. B-But I'd appreciate it if you came at more regular hours when visiting the shrine. S-Sorry... I see. You're participating in the Hikonan Race, and this is a part of your training. They're letting us stay at Yorozuyo, so I can't refuse when Nee-sa I mean, when Senka-san asks me to do it. Do your best then! I'll cheer you on. Thank you. I'll do my best so I can advertise Yorozuyo in the victory interview. If you win, you'll also get to be the Ogami for the fall festival. Ogami? It's the distinction for a male god. Think of it as the difference between god and goddess. The fall festival is related to the legend of the Twin Mountains. You bring floats to the two ends of the bridge, just like the two mountain peaks, right? You know more than I expected. Tsumugi-san told me about it. At the beginning of the festival, the god receives a ritual prayer from the shrine maiden, and gets on the float waiting for him at the bottom. The goddess similarly receives a script from a house chosen in prior and rides on the float. The two face one another at the two ends of the bridge. The god reads his script first, then the goddess reads hers in response. And that creates the image of the "echo" of the two calling to each other. Yes, but this ritual not only represents the legend of Twin Mountains, but also the descent of the mountain god to this valley, his bond with it, and his blessing of the people living here. When the calls of the god and the goddess reach one another's hearts... ...its proof can been seen in the night sky as a beautiful bridge of stars. A bridge of stars, huh? Ayumu! What's the first thing that pops into your head when I say sports festival? Ball rolling, pole pushing... as well as ball tossing! A ball, a pole, and another ball! A wonderful selection! All right! Now that I'm fired up, it's time for the preview! Next time, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode Five: Read bean soup, eels and a wedding dress. Ayumu, can you say it again? Ball rolling, ball pushing, pole tossing! Oh, I messed up! Thanks! ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 05 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][EAB83483] The Sports Festival of Yamabiko South Academy, and, more importantly, the main event: the Hikonan Race! It is a long and severe battle indeed. Ayumu! Yes! And your brother, Ayumu, is on the verge of entering the fray. Thus in order for him to emerge the victor... He needs you, his kin, to support him! Then I'll cheer him on as much as I can! Well said. However regular cheering may not be enough. And that is why... I'll let you have this. B-But isn't that...? And so everyone, whether you end up winning or losing, remember to give it your best shot! Well then, would each team representative please come to the front and recite the Athlete's Declaration? Athlete's Declaration: We, the athletes, solemnly declare... ...to preserve the precepts of a true sportsman... ...and swear to abide by and uphold the rules of this event! Red team representative, Sakai Hina. White team representative, Toudou Tsumugi. All right, it's finally begun! This is the Yamabiko South Academy's Sports Festival! And here we have Miss Toudou Tsumugi, who seems to be getting a lot of praise from the boys on the White team. And Miss Sakai Hina, on the other hand, appears to be submerged under the love of the girls on the Red team! The declarations are done! It's time for the games to begin! Your announcer for the day will be none other than me: Minamikokubaru Daigorou. All right, let's get started. The first event is... ...the bread eating race! On your mark... Look at that speed! "Food first, phone calls second, three o'clock snacks four times a day," isn't her motto for nothing! In other news, Miss Koumoto seems to... Uh... it would appear as if the poles for the bread dropped as some other poles raised. Miss Koumoto has finally reached the finish line. Next up is the girls' 100 meters sprint! You have to place your bets on her, folks. Miss Sakai Hina is in the house! Senpai's looking at me! No, she's looking at me! On your mark! Get set! She won! She's so cool! Sakai-senpai really popular with the girls, huh? On your mark! No way... Huh? Why? Mugi-nee... Your proportions might be a little too good... Here we go, the Archery Club's ball throwing contest! The Red team has been the victor in this event for many years. Will the opposing team be able to turn the tides? Ayumu, don't give up! You don't have to wave back... On your mark... And the scavenger hunt begins! The instructions on your card will determine your fate! What will the contestants find written on those cards, I wonder? Large Breasts Large breasts...? Oh, I know! I'll get Madoka-chan. Madoka-chan, come with me. R-Right... Madoka-chan is androphobic. What's the next event? A demonstration by the Archery Club. The Archery Club? Then... Yup. Ibuki-chan is going to represent the club. Ladies and gentlemen, the demonstration by Miss Hinata Ibuki of the Archery Club! Are you okay with that? No, I can't get distracted now. I have to concentrate. This is all your fault! Kazu-kun, what's wrong? Ah, it's nothing. I just suddenly got the chills... Ui, over here! Mom, Dad! Mom, these two are- Come on, sit down first. Thank you. You're Kazuma-kun, right? Yes, I'm Hoshino Kazuma. I guess he resembles Hajime a little. Oh, Hajime is our son. Ui was all over her brother when she was young. Mom! Don't tell them about that- You must be his younger brother Ayumu-kun then. Y-Yes. You'll have to keep a good grip on your brother. Ui might snatch him away otherwise. Mom, stop that! Where's Ibuki-chan? She said we should go ahead and eat while she changes. And Daigo seems to be occupied with the executive committee work. I see. All right. Time to unseal the Ui Lunch Box: Sports Festival Version then. The top box is full of colorful, decorative side dishes. The second box consists mainly of meaty, filling side dishes. Then the third and final box... Wow! ...is full of rice balls with sour plum and spicy salmon roe! But that's not all! Order one now and get another absolutely free! Is this an infomercial or something? If we're talking boxed lunches, I won't give up without a fight. Nee-san! Your handmade Yorozuyo boxed lunch has arrived! I made your favorite sweet inari pouches today, Madoka. Wow, there are so many! Since today's the sports festival, Mommy worked hard to make all of these. Having lunch like this is somehow really nice, isn't it? It sure is. Butts, butts, butts everywhere! There's a veritable treasure trove of butts around here! This is the parents' rear end sumo event! Still in! You're still in! In! Your butt's still in! With the mothers' rear end sumo over, we'll now proceed to the event you've all been waiting for! It's time for the Hikonan Race! First off, allow me to introduce the competitors on the starting line! Both her stomach and dreams stretching to infinite proportions, representing the Bagpipe café: Nakatsugawa Ui! Ui-chan, give it your best! Bar master, you owe me a jumbo parfait if I win! Moving on! The cool beauty representing the Sakai Distillery: Sakai Hina! Hina, you'd better not lose! Father, that's embarrassing... Having joined on short notice, the representative of Yamagen Gardens: Toudou Koyori! And the main participant this time around, representing Yorozuyo Inn: the city boy transfer student, Hoshino Kazuma! Kazuma-kun! It's time to show us the result of your training! Nee-san, the results of what training? Onii-chan, do your best! Go, go, Kazuma! Win, win, Kazuma! Yay! A-Ayumu, what's with that outfit? D-Daigo-san said you'd get pumped up the most if I were to cheer you on wearing this... Daigo! I-I just...! Good job! On your mark... Get set... All right, and as such I mean, all the competitors are off! Let's head over to our reporter, Toudou Kasane-san. Kasane-san, can you hear us? Kasane-san! Yes! This your on-site reporter, Toudou Kasane speaking! The opening challenge awaits the participants here at the first checkpoint. All competitors will have to go through thirty bowls of Kanmidokoro Azukidou's red bean soup! Oh no! The first challenge is thirty bowls of red bean soup! According to our reports, Miss Nakatsugawa had anticipated the race's eating challenge to be ramen this year and had practiced accordingly. Does this mean she's in trouble? Ui-chan... Mom, is Ui going to be all right? Of course she is. Wow! Miss Nakatsugawa took care of the thirty bowls in an instant! It's impossible to comprehend how she's managed to down this amount! Told you. Okay, sorry to keep you waiting! I, Toudou Kasane, am currently standing at the second checkpoint. We have a number of eels stored here, in this special pool. These animals are a gift from our sponsor, Unakii from the commercial district. The competitors will have to catch ten eels in order to pass this checkpoint! Did you hear that? The second challenge is eel catching! Please note that the staff will thoroughly enjoy the captured eels later. I don't think I can even look at any sweets for a while... That sure made a lot of guys drop out. No! I'm soaked now! It got into my clothes! Hey, Ui! Where are you going? Ask the eel! Classic... While most people are having issues with the eels at the second checkpoint, Miss Toudou is catching them with ease! She actually used to catch loaches in the rice fields and snack on them raw when she was younger. I did not! All right, if I manage to stay in the lead...! The competitors will have to put on a costume each at the third checkpoint. What you'll end up wearing will be decided by the card you draw! Everyone, please look forward to the interesting costumes our participants will be returning in! There she is! Miss Toudou, currently in the lead, is wearing... ...a wedding dress! Why does it have to be so difficult to run in? Huh? More and more competitors have reached the third checkpoint! They're all dressed in a multitude of costumes- Miss Nakatsugawa, w-what is that?! S-So cute... I want to squeeze it... Why are you panting?! If I keep this up... If I keep this up and win, I'll be able to keep my promise with Keita! I'll help him get better! Just a little more. I'm almost there. Just a little further. Just a little! What's wrong? H-Hey, are you all right? I'm fine! Did you hurt your foot? What happened? Anyway, you can't run like this. You have to retire. No! Why not? I promised Keita. Keita? You mean Gengorou-san's grandson? I told him I'd win the Hikonan Race. I told him to cheer up if I win. He'd cheer up, undergo the surgery, and get better... Fine. You can hold on to me until we reach the goal. Come on. D-Don't be ridiculous! It's no victory if I accept help from my enemy! This isn't the time for that, is it? Forget it! I'll definitely reach the goal myself. Then Keita... Why am I being chased?! Shoot, at this rate... What are you doing?! Just hold on! You want to win, don't you? You want to win this for Keita, don't you? Then leave it to me! Here they are! Who's coming in first?! Onii-chan! I can't believe it! It's Mister Hoshino, carrying Miss Toudou like a princess! And here we go! They've reached the goal! We've received the results of the last race. After careful examination of the footage, we've determined that Miss Toudou touched the tape first. Therefore, Miss Toudou takes first place, and Mister Hoshino ends up with second! As you all know, the Hikonan Race is being run at this time of year. Just which of the stores claimed victory this year? Our reporter, Kyouko-chan, should be on the location... Kyouko-chan? Yes! This is the Yahoo reporter, Kyouko. I'm currently at Yamabiko South Academy. But first things first, it's time for our interview with the winner. Could you please tell us your name and the store you repre- Keita, are you watching? I won, just like I promised! That's why you have to cheer up, Keita! You're going to blow your sickness away! Yeah! Koumoto-senpai's mother was the winner of the rear end sumo event. How did you do it? I knew my enemy and knew myself, if you know what I mean. As for Minamikokubaru-sensei, who came in close at second place... I believe I lost because I wasn't able to get in a position to ass-assinate her. Oh look, it's time for the preview already! Next time, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode Six: When the bucket falls. Nakatsugawa-senpai's Mom, thank you for tying up the loose rear ends. ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 06 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][02BC8308] This is where Kazuma-san and Nakatsugawa-senpai... Finals? What are you talking about? Is it some kinda cultural thing around here? They don't run finals in city schools?! Yeah, right. Don't believe everything you hear. Judging by that attitude, you must be feeling pretty confident. Are you really prepared? Probably... I guess. That didn't sound reassuring at all. Well, I was busy moving and all. I couldn't really concentrate on studying... Then it's time to do something about it, before it's too late. They force you to take summer classes if you flunk the finals here, you know? What? Seriously? I can't let them ruin my summer vacation like that. That's why I'm going to have Ibuki-chan tutor me! Hinata, you're good at this? Why exactly do you look so surprised? Well, you didn't seem like the studious type, since you spent most of your time at the club. How rude! Just as a swan, I put forth a lot of effort in places one cannot see. Was that supposed to be the "kicking under the water's surface to stay afloat" analogy? I hear that's all made up, actually. Where did come sprouting from? Apparently, swans have some kind of fat gland on their backside. It serves to repel water or to trap in air bubbles. I didn't know that. So... you're saying Hinata spouts oil out of her rear... Y-You moron, of course I don't! That aside, I came up with an idea to conquer the finals. So you'd like everyone to stay over for a study session... All right, you have my permission. Are you sure? We no longer house customers in the older wing, and besides, I have no reason to refuse if your purpose is educational. Excuse the intrusion! Wait, Koyo-nee, we're not challenging a dojo here. Hoshino Kazuma, we've come to study! I take it your foot's all better now. Yeah! Just have a look! Kazuma-san, sorry that we're so late. Oh, it's all right. I should be the one apologizing for making you tutor us. Don't worry about it. Teaching others is usually a good review for oneself, and it's also a good opportunity to make these two actually study. Looks, they're here! Hello! Sorry to keep you waiting. Not a problem! Oh, Madoka-chan is with you! Uh, yes... Koyori-chan invited me to study with her, so... Okay, now that we've all gathered here, it's about time Oh, wait. One more person is coming. Sorry. I'm sorry. I apologize. I have no excuse. I still haven't apologized for what I said back then. Don't mock me! So this study session will be a good opportunity to do so. If I meet Hoshino, I'll definitely apologize this time. Excuse me. Coming! Welcome. You're finally here! Come on in. Everyone's waiting for you. I guess you two haven't met yet, huh? This is Hoshino Ayumu-kun. Kazuma-san's little brother. The one who cheered him on during the sports festival, wearing a cheerleader outfit. Good boy who cares about his big brother. U-Um... You've become fond of him, haven't you? Okay! In preparation for the upcoming finals, it is time to begin this study session! Hey, Ui! All right, one more time! Commence the study session! Ui... But...! Ui-chan, we can have snacks later. But right now, it's time to study. Okay... You can rewrite the equation x + 3 = 8, as x = 8 - 3. See, the answer is x = 5. You do this here, and that's the answer. Oh, I see. Is it already this late? Cramming isn't going to help anyone. Why don't we take a break and have some dinner? Food?! Actually, let's take a bath first. A bath... you say? Awesome! The hell is this? Isn't this supposed to be coed? Of course not. Bro! And my bro's bro! I can't believe you're both fine with this! I... I, for one... ...am so excited I can keep a pail on my crotch without using any hands! Wow, it's like magic! That's not something you should be impressed by! Wow, Madoka-chan, your boobs are huge! Let me touch them a bit, 'kay? Please, don't Madoka's are big, but Mugi-nee's are definitely the biggest! Hey, you don't have to point that out! But she's right, they are big. Even you, Hina? Bro, I was wrong. Yeah. I don't remember you ever being right, though. We can't sit here and weep just because this is no mixed bath! I have to show my courage, and take the first step forward on my third leg! Third leg? Bro, I shall now go! Towards the yet uncharted valley of Shangri-la! Punishment! My eyes! My eyes! Predicting your moves is too easy, pervert! Koyori-chan... At least try to cover yourself... Take this! And that! How's that? Come on, stop! Nice! Really nice! I'll never lose at boob sumo! Bring it on! The boob sponges are ready. Who wants to get scrubbed first? I'm sure that's what they're doing on the other side. I really doubt it. Why am I stuck here, washing this scruffy little back on this side? Well, sorry that I'm scruffy. Come on, Bro, isn't there some secret pathway connecting the men and womens' bath? Obviously not. There is a wooden gate for employees in the garden, though. That's it! Found it. Why would I risk peeking over the wall, when I can just sneak around this way This is the best after a nice, long bath! This feels great... Madoka, here I go! Okay! Not too bad! How about this?! Where did it go? Um, Koumoto-senpai... The ping-pong ball is right there. Koumoto-senpai wins! What?! Wow... This must be why this place is one of the better-known sights of Yamabiko. Onii-chan, there's a ton of fireflies at the riverbed! Let's go have a look! Okay, I'm coming. Let's go, Ui. I'm fine... I'll enjoy the breeze here a little longer. But... Onii-chan, hurry up! Yeah, I'm coming! Fireflies... I'd never think Hajime would find himself such a pretty fiancée. Please, you're embarrassing me. You certainly surprised me, though. Ui, don't sit there all dejected. Say hi to Kuriko-san. What's wrong? I said say hi Ui? Wait! Onii-chan, you dummy. I knew you'd be here. What happened? Your mom was looking for you. Back then, Ibuki-chan stayed together with me at the observatory the whole time. She listened to my story until the sun began to set, and I finally started to calm down. Hearing that Onii-chan was getting married came as a big shock to me. It felt as if he was being stolen from me. But then I realized that it wasn't the right thing to do. Gosh, where have you been? We looked everywhere Mom, where's Onii-chan? Hajime went to the river in front of Yorozuyo to show Kuriko-san the fireflies Hold on... Ui?! That's why I decided to apologize to him. And if I could, I wanted to congratulate him. Onii In the end, I didn't congratulate him at the wedding, either... Ui-chan! Dinner's ready now. Could you let everyone know? Okay. Nee-san, seconds please! Ayumu-kun, you've been eating a lot more recently. Well, the food is great. It's a sign of you getting healthier. There's plenty left, so eat as much as you like. Thank you for the meal. Oh, are you done already? I'm not very hungry today. I see. Looks like we've reached our limit. Let's stop here for today. Go to sleep early tonight, everyone. We're going to wake up early tomorrow and give it another go while it's still cool outside. Hi-yah! Everyone's sleeping together! It's like a school trip! I'm so excited! You always get all pumped up the moment you stop studying. Kasane-chan, you're changing? Yeah. I like the yukata, but I really love my pajamas. Ta-da! Wow, that's so cute! Isn't it? I just can't relax unless I'm wearing this! Say, Bro... What? There are seven girls under this very roof, yet why am I sleeping next to a guy? Like I'd know. Actually, what else did you expect? Don't you think it's ridiculous?! We can't just sleep under these circumstances! Those seven lasses might be comparing boob sensitivity or showing off their underwear as we speak! That notion is probably what's ridiculous. Bro, I'm going! You may label it as sneaking around at night, but I call it an adventure; a quest if you will! Are you serious? Of course! Mixing red bean paste with honey tastes really good... K-Kazu-kun? Why are you here? Why? I just went to the bathroom. What about you? I, well... You know, I couldn't sleep... So, I... Heh, I knew it! What do you mean, you knew it?! Besides, you don't have to laugh Here you go. Where did you get these? Tsumugi-san made them with the leftover rice, suspecting you'd get hungry and wake up at night. Dear Ui-chan, eat this if you get hungry. Come on, hurry up and dig in. Dear Ui-chan, eat this if you get hungry Your growling stomach's going to wake everyone up otherwise. The moon is really pretty. Yeah. But it's so bright that you can't see the stars. A bridge of stars appears in the sky on the night of the festival, right? Oh, you mean the legend of Twin Mountains? The bridge only appears when the god and goddess' feelings properly reach one another, though. I see. I'd like to see it. A bridge to the starry skies. Next time, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode Seven: The Pink Nyanbobo. Onii-chan, what's a nyanbobo? No idea. Kazu-kun, you don't know what a nyanbobo is? You really need to study more if you don't know what a nyanbobo is! How unusual, someone who doesn't know what a nyanbobo is. Nyanbobos are pretty famous around here. Nyanbobos are cute. Nyanbobo. Nyanbobo! Did they make this preview just so everyone could get to say nyanbobo? ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 07 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][B81FFE02] Sensei, you idiot! I hate homework! We're done! We're done. We're really done for. You're giving up already? Come on, Daigon. The only time when we can enjoy ourselves is until we get our grades back. You can't go feeling all gloomy now! Uh, I think there's something wrong with that logic... I see. You're right. All right! Let's take a trip out to Honchou and have a blast! Agreed! Kazu-kun, you're coming with us! Sure, but what's this "Honchou?" Honchou is a place two stations away from Yamabiko. It's the biggest city around here. Most people go there to hang out or do shopping and such on their days off. Oh, so it's like Shibuya or Harajuku. Shibu-what? Does it taste good? Anyway, let's consider this our finals-are-over party. Let's all go out and have fun! I'll pass. I have club activities in the afternoon. Oh, that's right. The ban on club activities expired with the end of the exam period. Yup. The archery prefectural tournament is coming up, so I have to practice extra hard now. See you guys! I went to the study session... ...but I didn't apologize to him. Don't mock me! I'll definitely apologize to him this time. She's here! Everyone's here now. All right, time to go then! Where's Hoshino's brother? And Hinata's missing too. Ibuki-chan had archery practice, so she couldn't come. As for Ayumu-kun... Ayumu said he can't join us today because he promised to go draw the scenery with his friends from the Art Club. Well, look on the bright side. Ayumu-kun now has friends he can hang out with. She's absolutely right, Hoshino Kazuma! Your brother can't keep relying on you forever. Look who's talking. You still have Mugi-nee fix your buttons when they come off. Sh-Shut up! That was just a coincidence! So Hoshino's brother is not coming. Darn. Okay. Yes, I understand. We'll go with that, then. What did they say? We have to wait two hours for a karaoke box big enough for this many people. Two hours?! Don't puff up like that. Why don't we kill some time at the arcade while we're waiting? I win again. Hoshino Kazuma, we'll fight this out in reality! We'll settle this by wrestling! Get outside! Like I'd do that! Kasane-chan, you're really good at this. I did it! Koumoto-senpai, why don't you give it a try? N-No way. I'm not very good at these things. It's simple. You just have to step on the panels when they light up. But... Come on, it's started already. But... Hurry up! Like this? Is this how you do it? Yeah, you're doing great. Keep it up! Kasane-chan, I told you I'm not good at Not again... Tokimeki Ryouzanpaku Gakuen? What's that? As you can see, it's strip mahjong. You fight against 36 beautiful transfer students and aim to strip every single one of them. Each one you strip becomes your ally, and you can use her abilities in later games. Gotcha! Tsumo, Baiman! Now, Shishin-chan! Let's have a look at that Kumon Dragon tattoo wrapped around your body! Sweet... Th-This is, you know... Great, that's what it is! But isn't this risky? Risky? You mean risqué? You sure about this? Can we really keep looking? Cough! Why can't I grab it?! What's wrong, Ui? I can't grab any of them... I'm getting more change! Let's give it a go. Huh? Isn't this... ...the one Senpai had? Hey, that's Bobopin! Bobopin? The pink version of Nyanbobo, a mascot from around here. Abbreviate it and you get Bobopin. You can only win them in the claw crane. They're pretty rare. This is supposed to be rare? Kazu-kun, please move! Hey, Ui... I'm pretty sure it would be cheaper to just buy the Delicious Sticks. Let's see... Depending on your answer to these questions, the growth of your child will be altered in different ways. Let's raise a brilliant child together, Kazuma-san. Mine and Tsumugi-san's child... Y-Yeah! I'll do my best! Failure is the key to... This one is C, success. TL Note: Puns with "success." S-Sex? The poet Takahama Kyoshi created objective... This one's sketching. Objective sketching. Ejaculation... TL Note: Puns with "sketching." A hit batsman in Japanese... That would be a "dead ball." TL Note: Puns with "dead ball." Womb?! Kazuma-san, what's wrong? You've been acting a little strangely for a while... Oh, it's nothing. I'll just run to the bathroom for a sec. Everyone splits up to play games in the arcade. This is my chance to apologize to Hoshino. I'll do it once he's alone. Hoshino... Oh right... Sakai-senpai, here you go. Th-This is Bobopin... It matches the strap you already have, right? If you'd like Can I really have it?! Y-Yes, of course. Thank you. And we're finally here at the karaoke box! Everyone, let's Raze the roof! What should I eat? Let's see... At least pick some songs before you start looking at food! Sorry, but they have so much delicious-looking food here! I heard they serve great honeyto here. Honeyto? Oh, you mean the thick slice of toast with lots of honey and stuff like ice cream and fruit on Ui, you're drooling already? That wasn't me. S-Sorry! I love honey, you see... I've actually never heard of honeyto before, but this slice of toast, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, served with sweet, dripping honey, ice cream and even fruit on top... The mere thought of such dream food is enough to...! Hinata, don't get your feelings get the better of you. You have to concentrate! Okay! I know, Captain... The observatory? Remember the first time when we came here? We messed up and ended up at that bus stop. Oh, there? Around there is an entrance to the trail which leads to the observatory. The scenery's beautiful. I had lots of fun sketching there and having lunch together with my friends from the club. I'd like to see such a nice place myself. Let's go then, Onii-chan! The observatory's a really great place! Ugh... I failed math and physics... Bro, don't worry about any of that. Really? What about you? Modern literature, Japanese history, and Sex Ed here. So you failed only three. Wrong, I only passed those three. You sure went all out. Well, having supplementary summer classes sucks, but we can't change what's already been done. That's right. You shouldn't be getting depressed over one or two or three or four or five or six subjects you failed. Actually, that's enough to be at least a little depressed about. By the way, I heard Hinata passed all the subjects. She lacks in bust size but her grades are good. Her boobs have nothing to do with this... Ibuki-chan must be amazing to get good grades regardless of her club activities. She's been stuck at the club every day since finals ended, too. The prefectural tournament's almost here, isn't it? It's this coming Sunday. All right! Let's all go cheer for her! Okay! What?! Tsumugi-senpai and Sakai-senpai aren't coming?! Mugi-nee has her part time job at Yorozuyo. And Sakai-senpai has to help out at her family's distillery. What the hell? This reduces the boob factor by half... Oh, well. This time, we'll need to have Ui and Madoka-chan fill in Hey, don't leave me! I think Ibuki-chan's match is about to begin. You guys didn't have to all come to cheer me on. I bet it took you forever just to get here. We certainly didn't think it would take us one and a half hours and three different trains to get to the city gymnasium... The preliminaries ended, but thank goodness we made it for the main rounds. Ibuki-san, I'll be cheering you on, so do your best in there! Thank you, Ayumu-kun. But if you're going to cheer for me, I would've preferred you wore your cheerleader outfit from the Hikonan Race. Th-That was just for the occasion... B-Besides, I don't have those clothes anymore... Sorry, I'm just kidding! Don't tease me, Ibuki-san! I thought Hinata would be really nervous, but she seems to have everything under control. Yup! She's got this one! But... What's wrong, Ui? I can't really put my finger on it, but... I somehow felt Ibuki-chan was trying too hard to act cheerful. Delivering stuff here is really difficult... The archery tournament should've started already. A little more than usual then... Good luck, Hinata. Hinata-senpai was really close. Yeah! If only the last one had hit! She did really well though, making it all the way to the finals... Isn't Hinata a little late? Before the main round started, Hinata-senpai told us to wait for her in the lobby, right? It's no use. It looks like Ibuki-chan turned off her cellphone. I wonder why Ibuki-san suddenly disappeared like that. Well, I can imagine why. Maybe she just wanted to be alone? You might be right. But if she's going somewhere, she could at least let us know where Oh, Ayumu. You just have to climb the trail to get to the observatory, right? Uh, yeah. There are signs along the way, so I think you'll know once you find it. Okay! You go home first! Onii-chan! I knew you'd be here! Hoshino... Why are you here? That's what I should be asking you. What's wrong? Why didn't you go home with us? Everyone was worried about you. Well... Is it because you lost at the finals? I was scared. I've been doing archery ever since middle school. I practiced so much... I even got to the finals of the tournament. But at the very end, when I thought about what might happen if that arrow were to miss... I got so scared all of a sudden... I had to concentrate. I knew that I had to be calm, but my fear just kept growing. I felt like running away. I didn't care about winning or losing. I just wanted to get out of there. Then my mind went blank, and before I knew it I'd let go of the arrow! I ran away! Never mind the competition, I couldn't even defeat myself. It was... It was so humiliating... I didn't want anyone to see me like this. That's why I came here. Hinata... Finals, I hate you! You scream from here when something bad happens, right? I'm such an idiot! Next time, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode Eight: The Punch Line is ! Ayumu, do you know what goes in the blank? Do you mean co... Wait, no ...okies? Thank you! No, you don't have to crack such jokes... Anyway, what else can you punch with? Let's see... Bi... Yeah, yeah! ...kes! That's right! Like vroom vroom and crash! What the hell?! I know! It's what you just said! Correct! ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 08 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][DD83F07C] Um, listen... Keep it a secret that I cried, okay? Never, ever tell anyone. I won't, Hinata. It'll be a secret between you and me. Thank you... Oh, and... Instead of calling me Hinata, you can call me Ibuki from now on. But why? Why? Well, because... Ibuki-chan! Ui. I knew you'd be at the observatory! Gosh, don't just go there without saying a word! Everyone was really worried Huh? Kazu-kun, why are you...? Good work. Is our place your last delivery? Then why don't you come in and have a drink? I need to go home and study. Oh, right. You're studying for college entrance exams. I guess this isn't the best time then... Yeah, yeah... Yup. I know, right? Well, my schedule's always open. The beach?! I'm going, I'm going, I'm totally going! I'm bored because I made no plans for the summer break! We're going next Tuesday then. I'll call you again once we figure out the details. Okay! Oh, and could you invite Ibuki for me? Tell her we're all going to the beach. Hey, Ui? What happened? Oh, okay! I'll ask Ibuki-chan. Wow, Madoka-chan. You volunteer at the library during the summer? Yes. I read books and present picture stories to the children. But that's not all of it. Kids love her because she often tells them her own stories! That's nice. I-I wouldn't say they love me... It's just that I liked making up stories ever since I was little, and they happen to like them too. But it's still amazing that you can come up with stories they can enjoy so much. So? Are you surprised?! That's not something you should be bragging about. What?! You can brag about the feats of your friends all you want! What's wrong if I'm the one bragging? By the way, Sakai-senpai, you're still studying? Students prepping for college have to push during the summer. Sorry, it almost seems like we forced you to come. Appropriate breaks are necessary, too. Besides... What's wrong with it, eh?! This could be my chance. If I get to be alone with Hoshino, I'll definitely apologize. It's the beach! Beach. Beach. Beach! Beach! Hold it! Don't get in the water before you're done stretching! Geez, kids these days... However, over here... ...very mature, indeed. Y-Yeah... Come on, Koumoto-senpai! Hurry up! I-I'm not ready yet! Koumoto-senpai, why are you hiding? You know very well that you can't hide those! Here! Huh? I'm not getting hurled away? Um, I've gotten to know you pretty well, so... I-I mean as a friend, of course! A-Anyway, I believe I shouldn't accidentally throw you at this level of contact anymore. Th-Then again, I-I... I-I can't guarantee anything if the contact were to be more severe... "Severe" contact? Madoka-chan, let me try. Oh, okay. Here you go. Th-Thank you very much... Let's go then. S-Sure... You demon! There! Take this, this, and this! Koyo-nee! Nooo! Counterattack, go! Tremble before the power of invention! Looks like you got the tunnels to connect. Onii-chan. Ibuki, I'm glad you're helping Ayumu, but are you sure you don't want to swim? Huh? It's not like I have to. There's no law that says you have to swim when you go to the beach. Onii-chan, just like me, Ibuki-san can't Ayumu-kun! So you can't swim. Shouldn't you float because of that oil around your rear, though? Stop bringing that up already! U-Use your backhand instead of your foot on the punchlines, thank you very much... There's nothing wrong with not being able to swim. But it's always good to learn something new. Let's practice swimming together. Sure, if you don't mind. Hinata, you should ask Hoshino to teach you as well. I won't last much longer... Yeah, just like that. Good, that's it. Now try dipping your face. D-Dipping my face where? Into the water, obviously... O-Okay. Yeah, like that. See, you're doing just fine. H-Hey... Are you o I thought I was going to die! Well, then just breathe... Then you should've said so! Besides, there's no way I can do something that complicated! I mean if I could, I'd be able to swim already! Oh, Ui-chan. Taking a break? I got thirsty so I was thinking of buying some shaved ice. Tsumugi-san, do you know where Kazu-kun is? We were playing together, but then he just suddenly disappeared. Kazuma-san is over there. Looks like he's teaching Ibuki-chan how to swim. Kazu-kun is teaching Ibuki-chan? That's good, Ui. Keep it up. What's wrong, Ui-chan? Oh, it's nothing! Well, I'll go buy that shaved ice. Ui-chan... Oh, Madoka-chan? Where's Tsumugi-san? Tsumugi-san went to do something. She asked me to watch the bags while she's gone. Aww, and I brought shaved ice for her too. Madoka-chan, do you want some? Can I have it? Yup! A-Are you all right? You shouldn't eat it that fast. I know, but it doesn't feel like I ate anything unless I do this. That hit the spot. I'm alone with Nakatsugawa-senpai right now. I might not get a chance like this again. Now's the time to ask her. N-Nakatsugawa-senpai... Yes? I-I don't know if I should be asking this, but... Go ahead. Then I'll ask... Wh-What do you think of Kazuma-san? What do you mean, what? W-Well... I-I'm asking whether you like him or not... O-Of course I don't hate him... I don't hate him... which means I like him... I like him, but you know... How should I say this? It's as liking your brother. Yeah, the same way I like my brother! As a brother? Madoka-chan, why did you want to know that? W-Well, how should I put it... You see... I'm back! A watermelon! I went to buy one at the shack so we could play some watermelon splitting. I'll go get everyone, then! Now that I recall it, I, Minamikokubaru Daigorou... ...learned of watermelon splitting ten and some years ago, when I was just three. Back in the day Nobody cares! The watermelon's getting warm! That's right! Fine, fine. Commence the watermelon splitting! All right! You really can't see anything, right? I can't. I can't see anything at all. Then you can't tell whose chest this is either, can you? It sure is flat. Is it Ibuki's? I told you to use your backhand... Here I go. To the right! The right! That's too far right! Not that way! Turn back! Right here. Or here? No, here! Ibuki, you cheater! You can definitely see! Off I go! Sniff sniff... Sniff sniff... Sniff sniff... Sniff... Right here! I can't believe she just sniffed her way to the watermelon. Nice one, Ui-cchu! This doesn't really feel like watermelon splitting, though... All right, it's time for beach volleyball! Let's decide on teams with rock-paper-scissors. Huh? Where did Sakai-senpai and Ayumu go? I don't know about Sakai-senpai, but Tsumugi-san said Ayumu was getting a little tired so he's taking a break. So you're saying Ayumu is alone with Tsumugi-senpai, under that parasol... Which means... Ayumu-kun. Could you rub some oil on me? S-Sure. Very nice, Ayumu-kun. You're doing great. Yes, just like that, all over my body. That's great! I-I'm done. All right, it's your turn next. I'll give you a nice rub... ...with my boobies. All nice and wet... Something along those lines As if! This still hurts, you know? Tsumugi-san? What is it? Tsumugi-san, is there something you want to buy? Why? I was wondering why you work part time at Yorozuyo. I see. I guess my working there is kind of a test run. A test run? I'd like to work at Yorozuyo when I'm older, you see. Do you know why? Uh, because you like it there? That's a part of it. But what I like isn't just Yorozuyo, but rather all of Yamabiko. Clean water, blue skies, and lots of greenery. And above all, the wonderful bonds the people here share. Perhaps I'm praising it too much. I feel the same way. Thank you. I work at the reception where we greet all the visitors, right? There, I can serve them everything we have to offer. Thanks to that they might want to visit my beloved Yamabiko again. By doing that, I'd like more people to fall in love with Yamabiko. It's a wonderful place. A place where you receive a warm welcome and where they treat you well, be it in good times or bad. That somehow sounds like Onii-chan. Huh? I'm like Kazuma-san? No, I mean the way Yamabiko is always there with you and is kind to you. Just like Onii-chan. But I've been just a dead weight on Onii-chan's shoulders ever since I was little... Don't say that, Ayumu-kun. I think Kazuma-san is doing his best to put a smile on your face. But if all that effort were to make you sad, I'm sure Kazuma-san would feel just as sad himself. If you want to thank him for everything he does for you, then perhaps instead of feeling bad about it, you should work just as hard to make Kazuma-san smile in your own way. Make Onii-chan smile... Okay! I don't know what I can do yet, but I'll try my best! So cute... Sakai-senpai! So that's where you were. Everyone's already changed and getting ready to go home. Let's go as well. They're waiting for us. I'm alone with Hoshino. It's my chance to apologize. Hoshino! What is it? U-Um... I'm sorry. There's no need to apologize about this. Anyway, let's go. That's not what I meant... Today was really fun! Yeah. I got pretty sunburnt. This is going to sting in the bathtub. Say, Ibuki-chan... When did Kazu-kun start calling you Ibuki? I-I wonder! When was it? I don't remember. But why do you ask? Th-There's no reason in particular! I was just... wondering. Oh, I see. Y-Yeah, that's all... Really, that's all. Man, this episode showed a lot of skin! Ayumu, ignore the idiot and do the preview. Okay! Next time, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode Nine: Hornets are Diurnal. Now, if Ayumu was in a micro bikini or the old school swimsuit, it would have been perfect! Neither of those are for guys. What about something guys do wear? Oh, I guess that would be All right, Ayumu! Next time you're wearing a loincloth! Yes, sir! Definitely not, sir! ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 09 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][926BBE92] How do you like our new parfait? It's sweet, cold, and absolutely delicious! Ui-chan, that's what you say every time. My ice cream! Sheesh, damn Daigo... He drags me all the way to Honchou... ...and then he gives me a tour of adult stores? Seriously? Sakai-senpai? Hoshino... What happened? Why are you sitting here all alone? Senpai! Do you have a fever? ...guess not. Then... what is it? I'm... hungry. I guess everyone eats that way when they are really hungry. Even you. Don't get me wrong. I actually think it's a good thing. Do you like girls who eat a lot? Well, uh... Anyway, how did you end up this way? You almost collapsed, you know. I ran away from home. Ran away?! Running away from home means leaving without permission from parents or guardians, with no intention of returning. I know what it means! I had a fight with my father and ran off. I didn't bring my wallet, a change of clothes... nothing. Then what are you planning to do? D-Don't give me those puppy eyes! Besides, they're only letting me stay at Yorozuyo to begin with. I understand. Thank you for the bread. I'll handle the rest myself. Senpai! I'm home... Senpai. So this is your room... It's cramped, but please feel free to stay here for a while. Oh, the ceiling's lower over there, so be care Onii-chan, you're back already? Y-Yeah, I'm back. Nee-san says it's dinnertime. Okay, got it. You're not coming? I have some stuff to take care of... Tell Nee-san that I'll be there right away. Okay. Senpai, what about dinner? I ate a lot back there, so I'll be fine for today. I see. Well, I'm going to eat, so just wait for a bit. Wipes Wet Senpai, sorry I kept you wai Kazuma-kun? What's wrong? I heard you shout. A-A hornet got into my room! Hornets are diurnal. They are not commonly seen at That really doesn't matter right now! Kazuma-kun, are you okay up there? I-I'm fine! It flew away! Wh-What in the world were you doing? I was all sweaty, so I wanted to wipe my body. Then you should've told me. I would've gotten a wet towel for you. It's okay now. I put my clothes on. Don't surprise me like that. If Nee-san finds you I forgot to put it back on. This is the life... Taking a long bath after a day of work really is the best. Well, Senpai, you can sleep here tonight. What about you? I'll sleep on the floor. I can't let you do that. I'm the guest here. I'll sleep on the floor. But I can't make a girl sleep on the floor while I take the bed... Let's do it like this then... We can sleep in it together this way. But this is a little, you know... Don't worry, I don't move around much in my sleep. Uh, but still... I won't kick you. Senpai, why did you argue with your father? Oh, it's fine if you don't want to tell me. I want to go to a university in Tokyo. My father is against it, though. He thinks I won't come back if I go to Tokyo. Just the smell of sake alone makes me dizzy, so making it is impossible for me. But I can help sell it. That's why I want to attend college and study marketing, product development, and such... And then I want to introduce our sake to lots of people in many different ways. Senpai, did you tell that to your father? I tried many times. The first time, he started shouting at me as soon as I mentioned attending a university in Tokyo. The next time, Mother and Father started arguing when I tried telling them. The next time, Father shouted at me again. The next time, we had another argument while I was partway through. The next time, a customer came by when I tried saying it. The next time, I was partway through when It's okay, I understand. So you haven't told him yet. I feel like I won't be able to for the rest of my life. That's not true. Once you find the right opportunity Oh, right. Hoshino. What is it? I'm sorry. Come on, it's all right. We should help each other when we're in trouble No, that's not what I meant. When we first met... You said my phone strap was cute, but I misinterpreted it and got mad at you. Don't mock me! I wanted to apologize this whole time... Yet it never worked out, and it really bothered me. Senpai... Look, you just told me something you weren't able to say before. I'm sure you'll be able to do the same with your father someday too. Hoshino... What is it? Thank you. Kazuma-kun, you really should wake up. You can't sleep in forever just because it's summer break. Kazuma-kun, are you awake? I'm coming in to get your futon. J-Just a moment! I understand the situation. I don't like the fact that you didn't discuss it with me first, but when a cornered bird flies into his pocket, the hunter... the hunter... the hunter... would be surprised? When a cornered bird flies into his pocket, the hunter will not shoot it. That's what I meant! Having said that, as the owner of Yorozuyo, I can't just ignore you when you're in trouble. However, he who does not work, does not eat. While you're here, I'm going to have you help out as a trainee. Got it? That looks pretty good on you. And why exactly do I have to do this? Tsumugi-san is on a family vacation since yesterday. I was just in need of some workers! Well then, I'm counting on you two. Welco Father! Hina! So it's true you were working part-time at Yorozuyo. Guess I'm doing the entrance next. Nee-san sure is a slave driver. No! I don't want to! I said come with me! Hey, stop that! Who the hell are you? And who are you? Stop it, Father. Father? Then you're You're that city kid... I see. You're the one who's making her do this. No, Hoshino has nothing to do with this. Shut up! You stay out of this! Shut up? It's because you keep screaming your head off at her that she never gets a chance to say anything. Are you trying to say something about me? Senpai is trying to get into college just so she can help with your work! What? She wants to let even more people know about the sake her family makes. That's why she wants to study all kinds of related subjects. Is that true, Hina? Then why didn't you tell me? Because you didn't let her say anything! Shut up! You stay out of this! I won't! You brat, acting all cocky just because you came from the city! Stop right there! Sakai-san, I ask you not to be violent on Yorozuyo grounds. This kid was getting in my face... But I'm still taking my daughter! Kazuma-kun is one of the important guests we're currently housing at this inn. Your daughter is here under his care, and therefore also a guest of Yorozuyo. Even if the Heavens flip upside down, I'm not letting anyone take our guests by force! S a k a i D i s t i l l e r y Hey. I got a call from the owner of Yorozuyo earlier. She said they're taking good care of our daughter, so we shouldn't worry. Are you listening? Stop pretending you're asleep. That's hot! What the hell are you doing?! See, I knew you were awake. You moron! Anyone would wake up from that! She also told me why Hina wants to continue her studies. She wants to help the family business, eh? Looks like it was worth the pain, knowing she grew up to be a good child. She's not only your kid. So, what will you do? About what? It's not that I don't understand how you want to keep your cute daughter close to home, but you should try considering her feelings a little too. I know that! I know that already... What? Yorozuyo Senpai's father challenged me to a duel? Well, it's just a tug-of-war. Tug-of-war? A cultural activity in this area. To settle a dispute between two villages, people would hold a tug-of-war duel between the strongest men of both villages at the Kotama Shrine. Until my grandmother's generation, two men would often have a duel over a girl... But I never thought someone would do it in this day and age. But why is he challenging me? Apparently, he thinks you're some kind of bad bug influencing his daughter. A bad bug? So, how about it? Are you going to accept it? Hoshino, you don't have to do it. I don't want to cause you any more trouble. Nah, I'll do it. I'll make that old fart cry like a baby! If Kazuma-kun wins, we'll do whatever we want. If Sakai-san wins, we'll quietly hand her back. Is that okay? Sure! Looks like they're ready. Nee-san, do I really have to wear this? Of course. This is a shrine ceremony, after all. You have to wear the customary clothes. Besides, why did so many people come to watch Onii-chan! Ayumu, why are you wearing it? Well, Nee-san said that if I'm seriously going to cheer you on, I should be wearing this. Listen well! This is a sacred match in front of a shrine! Give it everything you have. Young boys sure have nice rears! It's so smooth, I'm jealous. I wonder if we could trade it with my husband's dirty one? I know, right? I know, right? Ladies! You heard this is a sacred match! Stop watching it for the wrong reasons! Well then, both sides shall grab the rope! Begin! Onii-chan, you can do it! Hoshino... Come on, put some muscle into it, Sakai! Don't you lose to that squirt! It's starting to even out! Yeah! Father... Senpai... Please, make your dream come true! Match set! That's it! Onii-chan! Senpai? No... This is, well... S-Senpai? Are you all right? All right. Let's have our meal, then. Father isn't here yet. Let him be. Father's been in a bad mood ever since he lost the match. He won't even come out of his room. Maybe he still hasn't forgiven me. Oh, you're wrong. He was planning on challenging Hoshino and losing on purpose in the first place. Looks like he wanted to play the father who supports his daughter from behind the scenes. But he got serious during the match, ran out of stamina, and ended up the way he did. He's just annoyed because it didn't go as he planned, and it didn't make him look good at all. Heh, maybe it's his age. Back in the day, he could go for many rounds, though he was pretty fast... Hey, where are you going? Father... Are you still angry? Father, you're cute. You idiot, don't make fun of your parents! You're cute when you're embarrassed, too. Father... ...thank you. Ayumu-kun, it's about time for the preview. Oh, he's asleep. I guess I'll do it in his stead. Next time, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode Ten: The Ring Drifted Away, and... A dragonfly, it's a dragonfly... A dragonfly, eh? I wonder what kind of dream he's having. Now it's a rat snake! A rat snake? A cobra! It's Onii-chan's king cobra! Ayumu-kun, run away! ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 10 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][6F71C4E1] Hi, Madoka-chan. Hello. Is everyone here to pray? Oh yeah, haven't you heard yet, Madoka-chan? We just held a long-awaited contest of tug-of-war at the shrine. I went to the library early in the morning to tell stories to the children, so... But I think I heard Grandfather say something about that yesterday. Anyway, who fought whom in the tug-of-war? Sakai-san from the liquor store and... Right, the one who moved here from the city... Kazuma-san? Right, the boy that occasionally visits our store. Why did Kazuma-san have to have the tug-of-war with Old Man Sakai? Um... That's... I only came to watch since the boss said something about a tug-of-war. I also came because the waitress at Yorozuyo visited our store and told me about it, so I don't know the details. What? You guys got all fired up even though you don't know of the meaning it holds? Since time long past, the tug-of-war held in front of the shrine is always to compete for wives. Eh? So that means... Yup. Kazuma probably wants to marry the Sakai family's daughter, and her father is against it. I see. So they used his only daughter as the stake of this contest. How nostalgic. When I married my wife, her father was really against it too. Then it turned into a contest of tug-of-war in front of the shrine. Then, we called the tug-of-war a tug-of-wife. So that means Kazuma-san is involved with Sakai-senpai... Hi, who is this? Bro, it's me. Huh, it's just Daigo. Please, help me! Huh? Hello, auntie! Ah, Koyori-chan. You're back from your trip. Did you have fun in Hawaii? Uh-huh. I also brought some local goods back. Where's Madoka? She's at home, but she seems to be a little unwell. She's sick? It's not that serious. It's probably just the heat. But... Oh right, she became really depressed after she heard about the tug-of-war. Tug-of-war? The one used in place of fighting? But why? I dunno. But, I think she would brighten up if she sees you, so why not go and say hello to her? Okay. Ah, I see. She became depressed after the tug-of-war. Then, it must be because of Kazuma-kun. What? Did Kazuma do something to Madoka? No, not like that. Listen up, Koyori-chan. The tug-of-war in front of the shrine used to be called the tug-of-wives. That's calling the rope the wife... I'm very glad to see everyone joining this "Piled Up Summer Homework Emergency Meeting". To meaningfully experience what is left of our summer holidays, we have to complete our summer homework first... Are you in here, Kazuma?! I'm here; what is it? Kazuma! You bastard... Is it true that you're marrying Hina-cchi? Huh? Marry? What the hell?! So Kazuma isn't marrying Hina-chan. Of course I'm not! How the hell did that misunderstanding come about? I really didn't know that such a thing happened. If you had told me, I would've gone to cheer for you. Ah, never mind... Standing up for a senpai, you actually have some good traits. I did go to Hawaii, but to think that I actually missed such an interesting event! It's the life-long regret of Yamabiko Town's number one gossip. Onii-chan looked so cool in his loincloth. Hey, Ayumu, don't say too much! Okay, I'll go tell Madoka about this! Why do you have to tell Madoka? Well, because Madoka got really depressed after the tug-of-war... ...and the old man said that it was because Kazuma had to marry Hina-cchi. So if I tell her that none of this happened, she'll... Wait a minute! So this means that Madoka-chan... ...likes Kazuma?! Is that what it means?! Why are you asking me? I say, you came here to pick a fight without even understanding the full story? It's because Koyo-nee doesn't think things through before acting. Anyway, I'll go tell Madoka right now! Hey, Koyori! They're gone... But it's getting interesting now. Right? So, what happened, then? Calling me out on this hot day, I won't forgive you if it's something boring. Right, if it's something boring, it has to be cold, sweet, and delicious. Ui, decide whether to whine or talk about your revelations on dessert. Daigo-senpai, other than that... That's right. What I want to discuss is my idea to get my bro and Madoka-chan together. I want everyone to help out. You all know that Madoka-chan is a really introverted girl. Also, even though my bro is from the city, he's surprisingly pure and naive. Since we're all friends, let us be their Cupid of love- How boring. What? Are you against it, Hinata? Against what? Why do we have to do this kind of thing? Why? 'Cause we're friends. What's wrong with giving a hand? Anyway, I won't help. Ibuki-chan! Wait! Wait up, Ibuki-chan! What's wrong, Ibuki-chan? That's really not like you. Are you saying you're fine with it, Ui? Getting that guy and Madoka-chan together. That's... That's really... To me, Kazu-kun is like a big brother. So that's why... I understand. If Ui says that, then it's fine. Ibuki-chan. I... I... I'm going out with Kazuma-san?! Yes. We all discussed it with Daigo-senpai, and decided to support Koumoto-senpai's love. L-L-Love?! We thought of a really great battle plan. It's guaranteed to be successful! We told Hoshino-oniisan that we're all going to the amusement park. Then on that day, we'll find an excuse and not be able to go. Senpai can enjoy a date with just the two of you! D-D-Date?! The details of the plan are all written in here. Remember to read it before you go. Anyway, what happened? Daigo, Koyori, and Kasane-chan are all suddenly unable to come. R-Right! What happened? Ui and Ibuki said they had something else going on, so we didn't ask them. Ayumu and the students in the Art Club went to a sketching exhibition. So it's just the two of us. Let's enjoy ourselves as much as possible on this rare occasion in place of those who couldn't come. Yes! The atmosphere looks good. Yeah... The atmosphere is good, but do I really have to dress up like this? Of course, Daigo-senpai and I both came in disguise. Koyo-nee has to do so too. So, what do you want to ride first, Madoka-chan? Let's see... I remember that the date guide said to ride the rollercoaster first. Then, let's try the rollercoaster... How surprising. I thought you weren't too fond of these things. That's... That's not true... Nice one, Koumoto-senpai. Through riding the rollercoaster, using the momentum from the exhilaration, they can have uninhibited conversation between each other. Let me down! Let me down! Mommy!!! Are you all right? Madoka-chan, do you really wanna go in this one now? O-Of course. I'm a girl of the shrine, so I don't have a problem with ghosts and spirits. Next is the couples' regular: the haunted house! Pretend to be frightened when inside. Cry out, then hold him, and you will certainly grow closer! Madoka-chan, it's all right now. S-Sorry! Kazuma-san, Kazuma-san! It's eating! It's eating! Next is the petting zoo! Feeding the cute bunnies, and touching each other's hands accidentally, then naturally becoming a touch-your-lover zoo! OK, then I'll... This guy is just as hungry as Ui. They always say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Using a large-portioned homemade bento to catch the starving boy's heart. Did you make all of this, Madoka-chan? Yes. I made them with all my heart early in the morning. I hope you like it. If Ui saw this bento, she would drool with happiness. Thanks for the meal! This is delicious! Wow, you do realize how high this is when you reach the top! Madoka-chan, we had so much fun today. Yes! Really fun... Next time, let's get everyone here. Right, we can come here again with everyone else. They're here! Why does Madoka look depressed? Children are indeed naive. What did you say? What do you mean by that, Daigoro? I hypothesize that there is a slight feeling of distance caused by embarrassment after a kiss. Wow! Madoka and Kazuma kissed?! Probably. S-S-So, they're gonna get married?! No, it won't happen that fast... B-But they've kissed already! Then are they gonna have a kid? If it's like that, then won't they get married?! Wh-What? What's so funny?! This isn't the time to laugh! Kazuma-san. M-Madoka-chan, your outfit is a little... I wanted to change my mood, so I borrowed these from Koyori-chan. Is it weird? Ah, no, nothing like that! I was just a little surprised since you look a little different from what I'm used to. Why did you suddenly ask me out on a trip like that? Only the two of us, too. That's because... Well... Ah, the bus is here! It's great that we made it. We would have to wait a long time if we missed this bus. Ah, right... This is the path up the mountain that Ayumu talked about, eh? Instead of calling it a path up the mountain, it's more of a hiking trail. Even children can take this trail if they want. I played around here by myself when I was a child too. Eh, really? This is where... Kazuma-san, hurry up! I'll lay out the sheet now. Could it be that you're the one from my memories? Because I'm not too good with boys, I've never been close with the children nearby. So I always played here by myself. One day, when I was playing here like usual, a boy I didn't know came here. He was really different from the other kids nearby. He was gentle and cool. To me, he was just like a prince! Although I only played with him once, I couldn't forget him. In my mind, I went through the memories of playing with him again and again. Then, it felt like I had been playing with him every day. Now that I think of it, perhaps that was... love at first sight? Why didn't you tell me when we first met? Right, that's true... ...but it was too sudden when I saw you in front of my family shrine. I didn't know what to do. Oh right, then various things happened after that. You didn't really have a suitable time to say it. That's one of the reasons too, but I thought you might remember even if I didn't say it. I wished that you would have even a hundredth of the feelings I have towards you. Even a thousandth would have been enough. I wished that you would remember me. I wanted to have a small place within your heart, even if it's just a little. Today's outfit was because I wanted to be dressed the same as that day. Maybe you would remember this way. Sorry, I didn't know what you had thought of me all this time. It was during my childhood, so I even forgot the name that I must have asked for. Besides, your hair was really short then. You had a totally different air around you from what you have now. It's all right. It's more than enough that you can remember. Madoka-chan, I... I understand your feelings. Kazuma-san, do you still remember? What you said to me when we were saying goodbye that day? Madoka-chan... Please say the same thing to me again. It's weird. It's not like we're going to bid each other farewell. Why am I crying? That's right, Madoka-chan. We'll be friends forever, won't we? Next episode, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Episode 11: In the Rain. ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 11 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][81B07A6A] Dumping Madoka-chan like that was such a shame. It's not about dumping her. How many times do I have to tell you that Madoka-chan didn't have that kind of relationship with me? Actually, that's all you've been saying since school started. Think about it; we're talking about the Madoka-chan here! That, that...! Bouncing, bouncing, and jiggling! Good morning. M-Morning. Good morning, Madoka-chan. So this year's festival will have Tsumugi-san performing as the goddess? Yup. Hina-senpai and I will be escorts. Oh, you mean like walking beside the goddess? Since you decided to participate, why didn't you try out for the goddess part? Hoshino's acting as the male god this year, right? Why don't you courageously confess to him at the ritual? Wh-What are you saying, Ibuki-chan? Although I've heard of proposals at the ritual, ...and the confession is supposed to be from the male god. This is the era of gender equality. It's fine if the goddess speaks first. Ah, that's right. No way! Besides, Kazu-kun is- Um... How should I put this...? He feels more like a big brother... Confessing is a bit... um... While you're brooding over that, someone might snatch him away from you. Who's that "someone"? Hina-senpai or Koyori-chan, perhaps. No way. Also... ...perhaps I will? I'm just joking! What? That was a joke? Don't say such things; you scared me for a second there. A joke... huh? Confessing, you say...? I won't know what to say if you bring it up so suddenly. Also, if he accepts my confession... ...then, then, perhaps- Yes, I'll pick it up now. Hello? Ah, it's Ayumu-kun? I'm going to be the model?! What a lazy bug. Good morning. It's already noon. Even if it is Sunday, you're slacking off too much. Sorry, I went to sleep really late last night... What is it? Perhaps it's déjà vu... I feel like I've had this conversation before. What déjà vu are you talking about? Wasn't every Sunday like this ever since you started living here? Well, why don't you eat breakfast already and go out for a walk? You'll only be getting in the way of cleaning if you stay here. Yes... All right, I'm leaving. See you later, and do take your time. Ayumu-kun! A walk, you say? Maybe I'll just go to the shrine. No, I'll go to the shopping district instead. Huh, Ibuki? H-Hoshino. What are you doing here? I'm not doing anything in particular. I'm just... ...hanging out. Then we're passengers of the same boat. You want some? No way. I definitely do not want to have an indirect kiss with you. Don't you play with Ui when you have free time? I usually do, but she said she has something going on today. I see. Also, if I'm alone with her now, I might say something weird. Oh, right! Hey, you want to go play downtown? Just us two? When I couldn't go because of club activities, didn't all of you go have fun downtown? You can make up for that today. Okay, then I'll think of it as your revenge! Yup! Excuse me. Sorry for having you come over on a holiday. No, I had nothing to do anyway. I'll take out the tools now. Then, I'll... Wh-Why are you stripping?! Oh, I'm so sorry! I thought to be an art model was to be a nude model... It's not like that! Singing so much made me really thirsty. Come in. Excuse me. So this is the legendary Honey Tower! Huh? Did we order these? Today is Couples' Day, so this is on the house. Couple?! We can also take a photo of the two of you when you drink it as a memento... Would you like me to? Ui-san, let's take a small break. You really have to eat this kind of snack in this season! It must have been tiring to sit there for so long. I'm sorry. It isn't that tiring, but my shoulders are a little sore. I thought I'd tell you beforehand; I'm actually planning to give this portrait to Onii-chan as a present after it's finished. Eh? To Kazu-kun? I can't? It's not that you can't, but why? During the summer vacation, Tsumugi-san told me this when we all went to the beach. Don't say that, Ayumu-kun. I think Kazuma-san is doing his best to put a smile on your face. But if all that effort were to make you sad, I'm sure Kazuma-san would feel just as sad himself. If you want to thank him for everything he does for you, then perhaps instead of feeling bad about it, you should work just as hard to make Kazuma-san smile in your own way. So I thought about what I should do for Onii-chan to be happy. Then, I thought of how happy Onii-chan was when I was little and gave my drawings to him, so... "What you can do to make Onii-chan happy..." Why did you have to get me as the model, though? Weren't you going out with Onii-chan? So I thought he would be happy if I gave him a picture of the girl he likes. Did I misunderstand? Kasane-chan said that the reason Onii-chan isn't going out with Madoka-san was because he's already going out with Ui-san, so I thought... No way, I haven't gone out with Kazu-kun yet- Actually, Kazu-kun is like a big brother to me. That's not true. Tsumugi-san. Kazuma-san is Ayumu-kun's big brother, not yours. Oh, this portrait is quite skillfully drawn. I'm sure Kazuma-san will be happy when you finish it. Keep on working hard. Thank you so much for today. Oh, and please keep this a secret from Onii-chan. Y-Yeah, that's fine. This is just hypothetically speaking, but... If I really do go out with Kazu-kun, would you be fine with that? Because if I started going out with Kazu-kun, it would be like taking your big brother away from you. W-Would you still be fine with it? That's true, I might start to feel a bit lonely because of that. However, if Onii-chan can be happy like that, I'll be happy too. Ah, that was so much fun. Looks like you got your revenge. Look at what you're drinking. Could it be... ...you wanted to have that cream soda with me? Don't be an idiot! Why would I want that?! Maybe we really do look like a couple to others. If so, why not become one for real? What are you saying? Stop joking like that. Right, sorry for saying something weird like that. It was just a joke... A... joke... Maybe we really do look like a couple to others. If so, why not become one for real? Right, sorry for saying something weird like that. Ibuki! Sorry! Um... If... If I misunderstood, then this would be quite embarrassing, but talking about becoming a couple just now... If you were serious, then I'm really sorry! It was too sudden, so I didn't know what to say. So I just... Idiot. Of course... Of course that was a joke. Yet you came running back. What an idiot. Even though there's no way I could have been serious... I'm home. Welcome home. Ah, you're soaked through. Yeah... I just had a cold shower. "What I can do to make Onii-chan happy?", huh? I really like Onii-chan... ...but I couldn't make him happy. Instead, I made Onii-chan, and his wife Kuriko-san, sad. Why couldn't I say "Congratulations," back then? If I congratulated him, Onii-chan would have been happy. That's true. Although it might be too late, even though it might not make him happy anymore, I can still give him a call. Then, I can congratulate him as I couldn't before. Hey, Onii-chan. It's me! Ah, you're right on time, I wanted to call you at the same time. Listen to me, Onii-chan. I have something I want to tell you. So, this might surprise you a little, but I wanted to say it no matter what! So, um... um... um... Anyway, congratulations! You really surprised me. How did you know? Kuriko's pregnant. We found out after going to the hospital today. I wanted to call you, and then you called me first. Hey, Ui, can you say what you just said to Kuriko as well? Yeah! Ah, you're up early today. Do you have morning practice with the Archery Club? No, I just have a little something to do. Really? Did you have breakfast yet? Well, I'm leaving. Hoshino Kazuma, you... ...idiot!!! Dense, stubborn moron!!! All right! Ibuki-chan! Ibuki-chan! Ui, what's going on- Listen to me, listen to me! Pregnant! Then, I'm going to become an aunt! Hey, slow down and talk. Because, because, Onii-chan has a child... Oh, Onii-chan isn't the one with a child, that's his wife... Yes, I know. Then, you became an aunt! Yup! Next Episode, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, Final Episode: Bridge that Leads Toward the Night Sky. It's finally the last episode. So many things happened when you think about it. Like the smell of cheese, and how sticking an acorn inside hurts. Like Nyanbobo is pink, and being attacked by Onii-chan's king cobra. It's not underwear, but a loincloth, so there's nothing embarrassing. Although there were rumors of impure homosexual love, we still have to use this as a finale! Little Brother Love is justice! No matter how you write it, it's justice! ▶ [Tsundere] Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi - 12 [BDRip h264 1920x1080 10bit FLAC][D2B1FC88] Domestic Safety ROAD SAFETY What?! I'm supposed to be the male god for the festival?! How did that happen? How, you ask? The person who wins the Hikonan race acts as the male god. That's the rule. Didn't I tell you? You never did. Also, it was totally Koyori who won the race. No matter how much of a tomboy Koyori-chan is, she's still a girl, so of course she can't be the male god. Well, that's true. That's why you will perform since you were the first among the boys. It's a great honor to be the representative of the men in Yamabiko Town. Do it well. But is it all right to let an outsider like me perform such an important part? What are you saying? That's even better. Although this festival is about the legend of the twin mountains, the ambassador of the god above also represents accepting new blood from outside the village, receiving good fortune. So boys like you who bring in new seeds from afar fit the original purpose of performing as the male god. What the hell are you talking about this early in the morning?! Onii-chan, what are seeds? Well, that's... Ayumu-kun, what we call seeds... Nee-san! How jolly awesome that you get to be the god in the festival! Really? Seriously, Tsumugi-san is the goddess! Those things, bouncing and jiggling... Is that all you think about? Hey, broski, how 'bout you take this chance to confess? What does that have to do with anything?! It's an old custom, idiot. The god can confess to the goddess during the greeting ceremony in the festival. Really? Tsumugi-san is exceptional, even as a goddess, and almost all of those selected to be the goddess in the festival are the most beautiful girls in town. That way, there's a lot of guys wanting to make some advances toward her. Also, the Hikonan race seems to have originated as a contest for the right to confess. In our grandparents' time, getting together because of a confession in the festival was commonplace. There's also a legend that if the confession is accepted, the following year would bring about an abundant harvest. But even so, why would I ask Tsumugi-san out? G-Good morning! What are you guys talking about? What about Tsumugi-san? No, nothing much. Good morning. Oh, good morning. Seriously, Mom talks way too much for me. Broski, what're we doing today? Are we all going to Bagpipe? I'll pass, since I have club activities. Me too. I have to go to the shrine and try on the robes for the festival later. So Ui too, then? Mm, that's right. Tch, oh well. I guess I'll head back all alone. Are you lonely being all by yourself? I'll go with you, then. You seem to be slacking off lately because of the upcoming festival. I'll educate you! Hey, Mom! TL Note: If you didn't get the joke, I didn't either. Come with me; it's time for a parent-teacher meeting! I was quite surprised when I was selected to be the god in the festival. Th-That's true, it really did. Um... Uh... What? No, you go first. No, it's nothing. No conversation. How long have you been there? You could at least say hello! What is it? You will be late if you don't hurry. Whoa, it suits you well! You have a manly air around you. Th-Thanks. I'll take a quick snapshot right now! Kasane-chan, besides taking photos, why are you here? I'm interviewing. As the number one gossip of Yamabiko, I cannot let such interesting events pass by unattended. Before you ask, let me explain it to you. It's not like I want to take photos of Mugi-nee as a goddess and then sell them at a high price to all the guys in high school. I didn't think of that at all! Sorry for making you wait. Wow, Mugi-nee is so pretty! Thank you, Kasane-chan. Hina-senpai and Nakatsugawa-senpai also look great as shrine maidens! Thank you for waiting. Here is your tea. Sorry for making a guest help out. It's fine. Are your shoulders sore from wearing uncomfortable clothes? No, not really. Where's Nakatsugawa-senpai? She went to the bathroom. She said she was holding it in while she was trying on the robes. Ah, she could've just said so. Um, I'll go to the bathroom too. That's right, you will be acting as the Emissary of Heaven this year. Yes, the daily dance practice is tough. You're not going to try on the robes? I am, but I don't have to do it right now. I want to see what you look like as the Emissary of Heaven! I know, could you strike a pose in the prayer hall and let me take a photo? That's a good idea, since you have to try on the robes anyway. It's decided, then! We'll go to the prayer hall after we finish dessert. Ui-chan. Tsumugi-san. Let's have a little chat. Ui-chan, did you get into an argument with Kazuma-san? What's bothering you? It seems to me that you two are acting a little out of the ordinary. That's... I'm sorry. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I understand now. I've always treated Kazu-kun like a brother, so I was happy and felt at ease when we were together. But I already have a big brother. I understand that Kazu-kun can't be one, either. Suddenly, I couldn't talk to Kazu-kun like I could before. Just our eyes meeting makes my chest tighten. When I'm alone at home, too. I blush when I think of him. Ui-chan, that's love. N-No, that's not it! I-It's not like that... I-It's just that my heartbeat gets faster when I think of Kazu-kun. So that's not l-l-love! Not at all, I'm telling you! I mean... Ui and Tsumugi-san are really taking their time. Did something happen? Why didn't you say Ui was cute? Wh-What are you saying all of a sudden? You thought Ui looked really cute earlier, but you didn't say anything. Why? "Why", you say? After I left home and my father came to get me, you said the things I wanted to in my stead. That made me really happy. But later, I still felt that I have to get my feelings across by saying it myself. I always wanted to apologize for getting angry at you because of the misunderstanding when I first met you. That's why I was happy that I could do it right. If you have something you need to say to convey your feelings, you should just say it. Hina-senpai... Ui-chan, that's love. Love, huh? I don't understand that! I don't understand love! That's the third time this morning. What happened? I stayed up a little late last night. Are you all right? You still have practice for the festival after school. Mm, I'll take a nap during afternoon break. It'll be fine. So, I'll describe the basics of the procedure. We'll tell you the details later. Anyway, just remember all of the following for now. First would be Madoka's dance as the Emissary of Heaven in the prayer hall. After that is over, the male god waiting below the steps will receive the summons from the Emissary of Heaven. Then, the god will walk down the stone steps and board the float waiting on the path below. We'll match the times and have the goddess and her attendants set out on their float at the town center, too. Tsumugi-chan has experience as an assistant, so it should be all right. Yes. Your side will be notified once the god's float leaves. We'll match the times and have the goddess and the attendants set out on their float too at the town center. When both floats are nearing the bridge, the taiko drums will start playing as a signal. The greeting ritual will begin there. The god will have the summons received from the Emissary of Heaven. The goddess will have the prayers given to her by the representative of the shrine. Both will read them out loud. It seems that every year the summons is written by the person acting as the Emissary. Yes, it's written with ink that is ground using dew gathered on the morning of the festival. So you will write those ornate words, Komoto-senpai? Um, I have a question. What is it, Kazuma-kun? Ornate refers to the grass script, right? I can't read that kind of script at all. It's all right. On both the summons and the prayers, there will be a reading aid beside the grass script passage. Oh, so that's how it is. Are you satisfied? Yes, I can just read it like that. Even so, don't be careless. Although you're reading off of something, you have to put your heart into your words to make them sound true for the goddess. "Put your heart into your words to make them sound true for the goddess." Over here, shake, shake... Turn around, then... Hello— Hello? Tsumugi-senpai? Huh? Faking illness? It's almost time. Everyone, please change in the changing room. Ah, well then. What's wrong, Mugi-nee? My stomach suddenly... Huh? A-A doctor! Ah, an ambulance! It's okay, Ui-chan. I think I'll be fine after resting for a while. But... Besides, the festival goddess... No way, Mugi-nee. We should ask someone to step in as a replacement. Ui-chan, can I leave it to you? Th-There's no way I can step in this suddenly! How could I be the goddess? You've been practicing with me all this time, so you should know the procedure. You just have to do it like that. Please... B-But there'll be one less attendant that way. That's all right. There's a replacement for an attendant right here. Me? No, no, no, no! You have been reporting on our rehearsals, so you should be familiar with the process as well. Th-That's true, but... This is an emergency! Are you going to do it or will you be doing it? Choose either of the two! Please let me do it! Onii-chan, don't get nervous! I love Ui Although you're reading off of something, you have to put your heart into your words to make them sound true for the goddess. If you have something you need to say to convey your feelings, you should just say it. I...! I love Ui! I-It wasn't love at first sight, but all of a sudden I... How should I put it? When we're together is when I'm the most... A-Anyway, I love you! Ui, answer him! I love... We can't hear you! Speak louder! Me too. I love you too, Kazu-kun! Louder, Ui! I love you too! I love you so very much! All right, there's plenty of wine and dishes. Speak up if you don't have enough. Sorry for barging in with a bunch of people wanting a drink. What in the world are you talking about? We should be thanking you for letting us provide the celebratory wine for the festival. However, if you fuck around after getting drunk, I won't show you any mercy! Anyway, I never thought I'd see another confession at the greeting ritual. It reminds people of all the things you did back then. Too bad you got dumped. Gen-san, that story's a little... Another glass! Um, most honored mother... You've already drunk a lot. Any more and... Hey, bitch, you've got a bone to pick with your elders? Besides, I only drink because you make me worry so much! Do you understand that? I understand. Well then, fill 'er up! Right away! Wow, so you can draw, Ayumu-kun. Maybe you can draw something for me next time. I'm pretty amazing when I'm stripped naked, you know? Ayumu is so cute! Hey, Koyo-nee, what's up with that? Isn't it nice? I got it from the ring-toss at the open booths. It's really cute! Wait! Th-That's— How delicious! Mugi-nee, didn't you have a stomachache? Oh, did I? We sure got rejected. Sure did. N-Not me! I was never... Putting it like that is... Oh well. We finally get to see it. The bridge to the starry skies. Yea. How beautiful. Yes. Really beautiful.

CR ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E01.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE You’re up, brother. Uh... yeah. Wow! What? Did you see something, Ayumu? Wow... Want me to take that? I’m fine. It’s not that heavy. We finally made it! This looks like a quiet place. Well, it is the countryside. The air’s good here. I bet it will do you good, Ayumu. Yeah! Let’s see... It says it’s one bus ride away from Yamabiko Station. Let’s catch that bus! Okay. We’re lucky the bus just came. Yeah. Hey... haven’t you been to Yamabiko before? Yeah. Dad brought me here once. We’ll be staying at the Yorozuyo Inn, the same place you stayed in right? Yep! So, what’s it like there? Huh? Well... I only spent the night there that one time, so I don’t really remember. But I remember... It was this old building with a beautiful river flowing in front of it. I remember, the garden was really green. I’d never been there before, but the place felt really familiar. I guess Dad used to know the old owner and that’s why they took us in. I see. Oh no! What’s wrong? I think this bus is going the opposite way! I mean, look, you have to go towards Yamabiko to get to "By Yorozuyo"... The next bus comes... In an hour?! Freakin’ countryside! It’s not coming. Well, with this schedule it’ll be a while. Hey, look over there! What’s up, Ayumu? Over there! It’s a monkey! Really? Come here! Look, it’s coming over here! The monkey’s coming over here! He sure is. Wait a sec... I think I’ve got a snack left in here... Hey! Stop right there! Brother! Stupid monkey! This doesn’t look too deep. Don’t mock me, monkey! Damn it! Stop running already! Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch.... Damn, that was a big hassle. Oww, that hurts. He’s sure taking a long time. I’m lost. But it’s not like this place has bears... right? You’re a girl? Yeah... I am. So that’s how you got lost, huh? Pretty embarrassing... But what are you doing out here? Just gathering some mountain vegetables! They’re for tempura, steaming, or seasoned with vinegared miso... You can put them in miso soup too. It’s also really yummy if you mix it with rice and red beans. O-Oh really? If you cross here and keep going straight, you’ll come to a fork in the road. Go down that hill and you’ll be back at the bus stop. I’m sorry you had to bring me all the way over here. Thanks a lot! Oh, you don’t have to thank me! I help someone whenever I can! And if you had kept wandering around there and ran into a bear, it would have been bad. So you do get bears here... I’ll show you how to do it. Watch closely now! So, were you watching closely? I wasn’t... I wasn’t watching at all! I mean, I watched, but I wasn’t looking! So, here I go! No, no, this was just a bad accident! You pervert! What the hell is wrong with you? Exactly what I wanted to ask you! You drag a girl into a forsaken place like this, push her to the ground, and ki-ki-kiss her!! Like I told you, it was an accident! If this would pass as an accident, we wouldn’t need the police! They will be notified of this; I hope you’re ready for that! Ibuki, wait! He’s telling the truth. What just happened really was an accident! Really! Ui... Just keep walking straight and you’ll get to the bus stop. Got it. Well then- Just hurry up and go already! You pervert! You’re back! What’s wrong? What happened to you? It’s... a long story. So this is Yorozuyo? That building doesn’t look that old. Well, it’s been a long time since I was here. They’ve probably rebuilt since then. Welcome to Yorozuyo. Umm... We’re Hoshino- ...is that you, Kazuma?! Mr. Hoshino’s son? Uh... yeah. I was worried because you took so long! You should’ve just called when you got into the station. I would’ve sent a car to pick you up! And you must be the little brother, Ayumu. Yes, you are a bit skinny, but it’s quite different here. The air is fresh, and the food and water are delicious, so you’ll be well again in no time! Umm... My, what happened to you?! You need a bath! But first, why don’t I show you your room? Please follow me! You two will be sleeping in the older wing. We don’t use this for guests anymore, so please, make yourselves at home. Unfortunately, the bath is in the newer wing. So, Auntie... Are you talking to me?! No, I mean... umm... Young.... miss? That’s not necessary, but please call me Miss? Is something wrong? Nothing at all! We will call you "Sis"! Calling me your sis? Okay, then. So what did you want to ask? This is a little late but... are you the owner? Oh my! I haven’t even introduced myself yet. I’m Senka Yorozu, the owner of Yorozuyo. Starting today, I’ll take over for Mr. Hoshino and be your guardian. Pleased to meet you! Here’s the old wing. This used to be the entrance, but ever since we added the new wing three years ago, it’s become sort of a back door. This place sure looks nice. Yup. This is your room, Kazuma. It’s pretty neat how the ceiling is done here. And your room is that one just across the hall. We have more rooms, but I thought you might like one close by. Thank you. As the owner of this inn, usually I’d invite you for a cup of tea, but I think Kazuma should take a bath first. It’s pretty sweet that I’ll be able to get into a big bath every day. Excuse me!!!! What is going on here? Oh... pink. I can’t ever get married now... I’m coming in. What’s up, Ayumu? Sis says it’s time for dinner. We have quite a fancy meal set up as part of your welcoming party. For the main course, we’ll be serving you mountain vegetables on a maiden’s nude body along with sake from thigh cups. Sis, isn’t that a little... Oh, excuse me. You’re not old enough to drink sake. That’s not what I meant! And here we are! Don’t look, Ayumu! I forbid you to look! Why not? I can’t believe you believed that, Kazuma. Or maybe you were hoping it was true? Sis... A lot happened today: I fell out of a tree. I got kicked in the face. I saw... things. I got... seen. And... got seen. And also... I should’ve asked her her name. Are you still up? That you Ayumu? What’s up? What’s with the pillow? Oh, I get it. You can’t sleep in this new place, so you want to sleep here with me. Oh, that’s really it? So I... can’t? All right, but just tonight, okay? Okay! Okay, I’m turning off the lights. Goodnight. Goodnight. Thank you for the meal. You’re already done? Yes, thank you. I’m full. I see. Good morning! It looks like your guide is here. Our... guide? Since you don’t know where your school is, I asked someone to go with you. This is Tsumugi Toudou. She’s a senior at Yamabiko South High. So a year older than you, Kazuma. Tsumugi is an apprentice waitress here at the inn. Kazuma, you already met her yesterday, right? Huh? You mean you’re that girl from... I sincerely apologize for my misconduct! Don’t worry about it. I didn’t really see anything clearly anyway. Not surprising, with that size. Just kill me! So you came here for Ayumu? Ayumu’s a little sickly, so my dad thought it would be good for him to live in a place like this, with good clean air. Your father’s a writer, isn’t he? Yeah. Actually, he and my mom want to buy a house here, but with their work and whatnot, it hasn’t worked out yet. But since we have to go to school, they thought it would be better if the two of us came ahead and got used to things first. So that’s why the two of us are here now. I see. Ayumu, your junior high is over there, just across this bridge. And if you follow this road, you get to our school, Yamabiko South High. Ayumu, since there’s only one way, you won’t get lost if you just follow the other kids in school uniforms. Okay. I’ll be fine by myself. All right. I’m going then. Take care. Uh... we should get going. Y-You’re right! Ui! Ui, I’m talking to you! What? What’s wrong? You’re even more spacey than normal. Are you still stuck on what happened yesterday? No! I haven’t been thinking about that at all! Well, I’m glad to hear that! All right, everyone. Settle down. As some of you probably know, we have a new student starting today. Come in, Hoshino. You’re that...! Then, does that mean...? Did you enjoy the first episode of A Bridge to the Starry Skies, the anime about brotherly love of the new century? Sis, why are you putting such a weird spin on it? It’s not weird. Brotherly love is justice! Justice not in the flirtatious sense. Now Ayumu, in the name of justice, present the preview! Next week on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 2 "It Shouldn’t Taste Like Cheese" There’s a place on your body that could potentially taste like chee- Wahhh! Please tune in again! ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E02.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE You look like you’re really enjoying that, Ui. I love cake! And I love my brother too! Thank you. Oh, you’ve got some cream by your lip. Oh... Yesterday, I... Come in, Hoshino. You’re that girl from the other day! What are you doing in our school? What do you mean, "what am I doing here?" I transferred to this school. That doesn’t mean we have to be in the same class! Hinata, what are you talking about? Our school only has one class for each year. There is no other class for juniors. That’s true, but... I’m surprised that you two know each other. I don’t know him. Then what? Well... umm. It doesn’t matter. Why don’t you introduce yourself? Yes, ma’am. My name is Kazuma Hoshino. I’m here because my parents will be moving here soon. Nice to meet you. Good. And you’ll sit right next to... Now wait one second, Mom! Aren’t we going to grill him for fun and embarrassment, Mom? I am not your mother! We are in school and you will call me "Teacher". C’mon! I am your offspring, after all! That may be, but remember that there is a time and place for everything, idiot son. See, what’s the big deal? You just called me your son. Don’t you dare talk back to me! I can see it! You can sit over there, Hoshino. Where am I supposed to sit?! Don’t you worry about that. I’ve got just the place. Hi, Kazu. Oh... I was thinking I could call you "Kazu", since your name is "Kazuma", but maybe I shouldn’t have done that. That’s fine, I guess, but who are you? Oh, excuse me! My name is Ui Nakatsugawa. You can call me Ui. I’m Ibuki. Ibuki Hinata. Nice. To. Meet. You. Uh... Hinata? As the Class Rep, it will be your responsibility to show the new student around. Okay. Will do. And now, what you’ve all been waiting for: time for questions! What are your hobbies? What are your favorite foods? What is your height? Weight? Zodiac? Blood type? Are you experienced, or not yet? I can’t answer all these questions at once. So, what is Ibuki to you, exactly? You know each other, right? I don’t know him at all. I don’t associate with perverts like him. Pervert? What else would you be? You lured an innocent girl deep into the mountains, just so you could ki- I mean... So you could push her over! What?! Ibuki, I keep telling you, that was a misunderstanding! Wait a minute... so he pushed you over? That could only happen to a space cadet like Ui Nakatsugawa! The fact that her guard is permanently down is exactly why they call her "Ayaui". Hey! Can you not say deceptive stuff about me? What do you mean by "deceptive"? I mean that was an accident! An accident, was it? I already explained it to you yesterday, but you just don’t get it! Because there’s nothing to get! I don’t want to get anything about you! Now please open your textbooks to page 23. We’ll start where we left off yesterday... Kazu, if you don’t have a textbook you can share with- If it’s a textbook you need, you can look at mine. It’s too dangerous for you two to have any further contact. Chow time! I’m so hungry! You’re Kokubaru Minami, right? You can just call me Daigo. All right, Daigo. I was wondering if you could tell me where I could buy a sandwich for lunch. I was gonna have a sandwich too, so we can go buy them together, Bro. Uh, Bro? You’ve just transferred here, but you’ve already managed to push a girl over in the mountains. That commands some respect, man, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to call you my bro! Ui, if you can’t wait, just eat already. But... Kazu! Daigo! Come on, hurry, hurry! I can’t believe the gluttony-demon Ui actually waited to eat with us. That’s huge! Today, it’s rice with mountain vegetables! You’re not eating this all alone, right? Of course I’m not eating this alone! I’ve got the side dishes right here! Then for dessert, I’ve got some muffins my mom baked me. That’s Ui for you. Hey... Yeah? Are those the vegetables you were picking yesterday? That’s right! Hey, can you please not talk with your mouth full? Which reminds me. What were you doing out there yesterday, Ibuki? I wasn’t doing anything! I was taking a walk, okay? A walk. Oh, I bet you went out to the viewing platform. There is one? Yeah, if you keep going up that mountain, you get to a look-out. It’s been one of Ibuki and my favorite hangouts since we were little kids. The view’s really great, and if you ever feel bad, all that will fly away if you scream "idiot" from up there. Well, for you nothing needs to be wrong, you still yell "yahoo" every time. Hearing a "yahoo" back when you yell "yahoo" first just cheers me up. I guess so. You want to show me around town? Sure! You just moved here, right? So you probably don’t know Yamabiko very well at all. So I was thinking I’d show you around if you’re interested at all. That would be really helpful. Then I’m going too. Who knows what you would do if I left you alone with Ui. Of course I’m going too! Great! Then we can all go! Okay. Do you mind if I bring my little brother too? Of course not! My bro’s bro is my bro, Bro. You have a younger brother? Yeah. He moved here with me and just started over at the Junior High. Hey, Ayumu? I wonder what his little brother’s like. Probably a pervert, just like him. Then can you wait at the fork by the bridge? Later. Tsumugi... You mean you were waiting for me? Yes. I figured since you’re not familiar with this area, you might not remember how to get back home. Thank you for taking the trouble... Wow, you’re lucky when every guy’s favorite girl, Tsumugi, is paying this much attention to you! Not that he deserves it! What about Ayumu? I guess he’ll be fine if we meet him at the bridge... You always put your little brother first, don’t you? But don’t worry, I already took care of that. Mugi! Thank you for bringing Ayumu over. Who’s this, Tsumugi? This is my youngest sister, Kasane. She’s in the same class as Ayumu, so I asked her to look after him. So then... ...this is your younger brother, Kazu? It’s nice to meet you. My name is Ayumu Hoshino. He’s so... Cute! So your name is Ayumu? That’s right. But you don’t look at all like Kaz... Ui! She’s right! It doesn’t matter how space cadety you are, you still have to be careful! Huh? Huh? What do you mean? Don’t you think it’s strange how incredibly cute his little brother is? Yeah! It means they probably have some complicated family situation... You guys don’t have to "be careful"! We’re not half-brothers or anything like that; he’s my full-blood brother! Liar! There’s no way you could have a little brother that cute! Why you... If you really are brothers, it looks like God played a genetic trick on you two. You guys... See, I knew you were a nice person. Huh? I noticed it when we walked to school this morning. When you walk with your brother, you deliberately make your stride shorter. You’re matching your stride to his. Really? You do that? Sorry, I never noticed before. Hey, don’t worry about it. I choose to do it myself, so you don’t have to... More importantly, Ui, you said you’d show me the town, so... where are you taking us? Let’s see... I guess we’ll start here. The convenience store. It’s on the way to school, so a lot of Hikonan... Hikonan? It’s an abbreviation for Yamabiko South High. Our junior high school is part of it too. This convenience store is open from seven in the morning until eleven at night! Isn’t it wonderful? You can buy candy even when it’s dark! It wasn’t always like that... I see. So when did they close before? What do you want to do? Wanna go in and buy something? No! If you want to get a snack, let’s go to Yahho! Huh? Yahho? The... Yahho... Store? The store’s name should actually be read as Yakata, but we’ve been calling it Yahho ever since we were little kids. So what did you all get? Let’s see. First off, we’ve got a cheese- flavored Yummy Stick. Then another cheese- flavored Yummy Stick. Then another cheese- flavored Yummy Stick. Cheesy Stick. Cheesy Stick. Cheesy Stick. You only got cheese flavor? But that’s my favorite! I see. So that’s why it tasted like cheese. No, it’s not like that! It shouldn’t taste... like... cheese. Huh? Oh, when you gave me one of your muffins at lunch, I tasted something strange, so I thought there was some cheese in it. Oh, you mean- oh! Yeah, there was some cream cheese in the batter, yes... This is the Cedar Ball. It’s made from cedar needles and they hang it under the eaves to show that they have new sake in stock. You know so much... Just what I’ve been told, here and there. I’m friends with the daughter of the family who runs this store, and she told me. This is where Yorozuyo gets their sake, too. There are more stores here. So would this be the shopping district? That’s right! The flower store right here is run by a lady who just got married. She’s very excited about that. Over there, that bike store’s owner just had a new baby. That soba shop over there is currently closed because the husband hurt himself playing amateur baseball. Then, see that ramen shop on the corner? Its owner is known for being really bull-headed. I really recommend the ramen though. Then we should go eat there next time. Yeah! At the lunch place over there, their only son is taking his college placement exams right now. The book store owners’ cat just had five kittens and they’re trying to find them homes, and the owners of the grocery store are in a big fight right now! You really know a lot about everyone. Well, I’m not called the News Hound of Yamabiko for nothing. You always did like your gossip. Where are we going now? Let’s go to the Twin Peaks! You want to go mountain climbing now?! But I wanted to show Kazu the look-out! The look-out, huh... Wait... so the Twin Peaks is where I got lost yesterday? The spot where you were prowling around is at the very foot of the mountain. The Twin Peaks are like this, and since they look like two mountains stuck together they’re called the Twin Peaks. There’s an old legend associated with that mountain. Long, long ago, a heavenly couple lived on top of that mountain. They were so infatuated with each other though that they paid no more attention to their daily work and the god of the heavens became so angry, they say he split the mountain’s top in half. They were separated forever. That’s a lot like the story of Tanabata. They say that ever since, those two have been calling to each other from the peaks saying "I long for you. I want to be with you." Isn’t that... Yes, it’s about the echo. They say that the power of their words flowed down into the valley and saturated the lands, and their love for each other made it to the village and bore great fruits... They say that that is the origin of the name of this region. In the fall, we have a festival that celebrates that legend. They place a float at both ends of the bridge, representing the Twin Peaks, and perform a ritual. And then, the Kotama Shrine- That’s it! We should go to Kotama Shrine next! The stone steps going up to it are really long! So these are the stone steps. It really is a long climb. It’s a race, Kazu! Good luck! Daigo catch! Those two sure have a lot of energy. Yeah, huh. We’ll take it leisurely, Ayumu. Let’s go. A race? Those two really are so childish. Done! You’re really fast, Kazu! I- I guess so. Huh? Madoka? She’s a freshman at our school. Her name is Madoka. This is the new transfer student. I’m Kazuma Hoshino. Hoshino? Kazuma... Madoka? I guess we’ve shown you basically everything there is to see. All that’s left is the Backpipe. The Bagpipe? It’s not the Bagpipe. It’s the Bacpipe. It’s a coffee shop we go to a lot after school. They’ve got a delicious Jumbo Parfait! So this is the Jumbo Parfait... It’s huge. It’s so good! That was great! Hang on! I think a warp in space-time just occurred! Hey, Ui. There’s some cream on your lip. Thanks, brother. Huh? This is one of the manifestations of the social phenomenon called "Calling Your Kindergarten Teacher Mom." Is that like me calling my mom "Mom" in class? Your case is different. I’m sorry. I think I just did that because Ayumu is always calling you "brother." And it was kind of infectious... You’re in a good mood, Ayumu. Yeah. I really like Yamabiko. What about you? I like it too. So Kazu’s younger brother is Ayumu, and Ayumu’s older brother is Kazu. I see... Kazu’s the older brother. Brother, yours is really big. Compared to that, yours is pale and has a long way to go. Sorry for interrupting your mutual brotherly back washing ritual. The next time on A Bridge To The Starry Skies: Episode 3 Acorns Hurt More than You Think Ayumu, can you think of a place on your body where it would hurt to put acorns? Hmm, my nostrils? Safe! ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E03.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE Thank you for the ring... Now I... You two sure are sleeping late today. If I don’t wake you up, you’re going to be late. It’s really standing straight up. I can’t help it. It gets this way sometimes in the morning. It stands straight up in the mornings... It never gets better unless I do it for you. Yeah yeah, just do it. They can’t be talking about...! Okay. Here I go... STOP! What you’re about to do is a highly impure act! And a homosexual one... ...and what’s worse, it’s incestuous! Oh... If you meant your hair was sticking straight up, you could’ve just said so! And here my imagination was running wild! When you walk with your brother, you deliberately make your stride shorter. You’re matching your stride to his. What’s up? Nothing. Nothing at all! Hey there, bro! Is that you, Daigo? What are you so excited about so early in the morning? And how’s my bro’s bro doing? Good! Good morning, Daigo! Okay, I’m leaving now. Take care! We better get going, Kazuma. Kazu! Daigo! Good morning! Hey, Ui! ...and Hinata. Hey! What’s with the unhappy face? What are you talking about? If that’s your attempt to hide it, you’re not doing a very good job! I’m not... It just felt like someone was watching us. Lunch time, it’s lunch time, it’s lunch time, yay! Go get your bread and then hurry back. If you don’t, her desk is going to get all sticky with drool. Like that would ever happen! I have a handkerchief. I guess she’s not going to deny that she drools. Is that him? Yeah. He moved here from a big city. Didn’t he supposedly push over some girl in the mountains? Well, that’s the rumor, anyway! Is it me, or are people spreading weird rumors about me? Well, the kid from the big city would have gotten all the attention anyway, but then you had to go and do THAT. It would be weirder if nobody was talking about you. But I’m telling you, that was just a misunderstanding, a mix up! I get it, I get it! So you had to "mix it up" by doing some crazy stuff to her, huh? Not that kind of mix up! What’s wrong, bro? Nothing. It’s over, it’s over! Ms. Minamigokubara’s homeroom is so long that it just wears you out. We should go somewhere now! I’m so hungry! You had so much food at lunch. How can you possibly be hungry? Huh? Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. You’ve just got to let it go, bro. That’s how she is. Hold this. Okay. What’s up with him? Dunno. Hey, stop! You’ve been spying on me! Come on! Phew... Wait a second. You’re that girl from the temple. Umm... umm... Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. Are you okay? I’m fine! It’s just that when something like this happens suddenly, I don’t know what to do! I mean, to be suddenly run at and touched by someone, it could be somewhat problematic I believe, I mean, even these things have a certain order to them, so if they’re too sudden, one does get embarrassed... So could you please take your hand... could you please take your hand and... So... so... NOOO! I’m very sorry! Kazuma... are you all right? Oww, oww, oww! She has a phobia of males?! Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but maybe it’s because Madoka has been raised very strictly by her grandfather, so she doesn’t deal very well with guys. If she’s suddenly approached by someone she doesn’t know very well, she tends to panic and respond the way you experienced. NOO! So that was... I’m not quite sure myself. I think it was some form of self-defense. Her grandfather taught it to her so she can ward off bad people. Bad people? I know this was a bit of a mishap, but please don’t think badly of her. Oh, of course not. Thank you! I knew you were a nice guy, Kazuma! Hey there, sleepyhead. Good morning! It’s almost noon! I know it’s Sunday, but isn’t that a bit late? I’m sorry, I was up late last night. Your brother has already gone outside. He took his sketchbook and told me he was going to draw a landscape. Why don’t you go eat your breakfast and then go on a walk or something? You’ll just get in the way when we clean your room. Y-yes. Where am I supposed to walk to, exactly? Well, the weather’s nice, so I guess I can just walk around here. Oww, oww! That got me right in the back again! She has a phobia of males?! but maybe it’s because Madoka has been raised very strictly by her grandfather, so she doesn’t deal very well with guys. I guess that wasn’t exactly a cool thing then. I should probably go and apologize. I don’t know if she’s here, but at least I can try. She’s here, she’s not, she’s here, she’s not, she’s here, she’s not... she’s here, she’s not... she’s here, she’s not... she’s here! She’s here! Wait! I’m sorry for what happened earlier! I-I am also... very sorry! I really am very sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. My body just started to move independently... Well, I was the one who suddenly grabbed your shoulder. You have nothing to be sorry for, Koumoto. Thank you. It’s very kind of you to say so. Oh, and you can just call me Madoka. After all, you are older than me, Hoshinoo. Huh? Then you can just call me Kazuma. All right... Kazuma. Well then, Madoka, I think I’ll be... Please wait! There’s something I’d like to ask you. There is? Yes. I’m not sure if I should be asking you this, but about you and Nakatsugawa in the mountains. They say you pushed her over and then... did all these things to her... Say what?! So that’s what happened. You were crossing the river and slipped on one of the stones. Yeah. I thought I’d just jump across, but then I slipped. Now I understand. I used to play there a lot when I was a child. I’ve fallen often enough myself. So yeah, that’s what happened and all those rumors about Ui and I doing all these things are totally... Oh well, I guess we did do one thing... when my feet slipped and I fell on top of her, we kissed, but that was an accident. You kissed?! Well yeah, but that was just... So you and Nakatsugawa... Hey... uh... why? Ouch! An acorn? Summoned by the sky, the earth, and man! Swift death to evil. My name is Koyori Toudou! I’ve come here to bring this evil to its knees! Kazuma Hoshino, you parasite from the city! Do not dare imagine that I will let you pollute the peace of Yamabiko! Hey! You come out of nowhere and call me a parasite? What’s the big idea?! And when I have I ever polluted anything around here? Do not toy with me, Kazuma Hoshino! I have heard the sordid tale of what you’ve done to Uicchu. Who’s Uicchu? Oh, are you talking about Ui? Who else would I be talking about?! I’m telling you, that was a misunderstanding! Oh, I see. A mistake. Then how do you explain the fact that you just made Madoka cry?! Actually, I don’t really know what happened here... Say no more! Ouch! Hey! Take that! And this! And that! Please stop! It wasn’t his fault I was crying. He didn’t do anything, so please, stop hurting him! Kazuma Hoshino! This time I will let you off the hook for Madoka’s sake! But if I ever hear of you making her cry again, you will rue the day you were born! Doron! Hey, you! When someone says "doron," you’re supposed to get on your knees and close your eyes! How else am I supposed to disappear?! I don’t have to play by your little kiddie rules. Doron! Doron! Doron, doron! Hey, do you guys want to go to the Backpipe after school today? I’m gonna pass. I’ve got a club after school today. Oh, okay. What about you, Kazu? I’ll go. So what kind of club are you in, Hinata? Ibuki does archery! Archery? She’s so good that everyone calls her the Hikonan Robin... Robin... what was it? Mask, right? That’s it! It’s not "mask," it’s "hood"! Robin Hood! You must be really good if they call you that. She is! She was even chosen as our representative at the next prefectural meet. It’s not that big of a deal. But then that means that walking home, it’s just gonna be Ui and bro. You’re busy too? Today I’ve got my... supplementary English class! Why are you bragging about that? I’m sure you know this already, but don’t think you’ll get away with doing something weird to Ui just because you’ll be alone with her! Yeah... What’s with Hinata? She’s always talking about me doing something ’weird’. What’s that about? Yeah... Well, she’s always saying strange stuff like that. Ayumu! Kazuma! And Ui! Hello, Ayumu! Kazuma, I joined the art club. You did? That’s good. You’re good at drawing. Really? Then I’ll be your model next time. Please draw me! Or... do you not want to? I don’t think I’m good enough to have a model. Ayumu, your face is a little red. That’s not true! I’m fine. Show me your forehead. I’ll see if you’ve got a fever. You don’t have to do that here... It’s fine. Come on. It looks like you’ve got a bit of a fever. It’s nothing. What are you talking about? You get sick easily, so we shouldn’t take any chances. But... Come on. I’ll give you a piggyback ride to Yorozuyo. You don’t have to do that! I can walk back by myself. Just get on already. Sorry, Ui, would you take my bag? Sure! Ayumu, you’ve got a fever so you’ve got to take it easy. That reminds me... My older brother used to give me piggyback rides too when I was little... My feet hurt! I can’t walk any further! All right. Come on, I’ll give you a piggyback ride home. Okay! Lucky. I wish he would carry me like that. What is wrong with me? Ayumu has a fever and all I can think about is myself! But... Sorry I kept you waiting. It’s fine. Is Ayumu okay? I gave him some cold medicine, put him into bed, and he fell asleep holding my hand. It’ll be gone by tomorrow. I’m glad that he’s not that sick. You’re such a good big brother. I envy Ayumu. Huh? Uh, I mean, oh, well, it’s not like that means I want you to give me a piggyback ride or touch foreheads with me or anything like that! Foreheads? Am I disturbing anything? Oh... looks like I might be. Why don’t I leave you two alone then? What are you doing there? Geez. Should I not have eaten these? Whaaaat? Hey Kazuma, what kind of girl’s your type? The next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 4 Met With A Bear And Had A Chat Come on, don’t change the subject to the preview; tell me! Hmm, a girl with long hair and bright disposition, someone who’s fun to just be around... Wait a minute, you basically described Uicchu! So that basically means she matches with you. Ayumu, that pun might be too horrible to let pass. ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E04.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE I need to get taro, carrots, konyaku, burdock root... Got it. How lucky is that? Are these really that good? I gotta take a leak! Oh yeah. Take this! We actually got some cole seed cream-sandwiches at the store. How lucky is that? Are these really that good? I gotta take a leak! Sure. Oh yeah. Take this! Oww, oww, oww! I’m sorry! I didn’t watch where I was going... You dropped this. Good. It looks like it’s not broken. Thanks. Cute. Don’t mock me! No, I meant... My little brother likes those types of things too. Thanks for waitin’! What’s wrong, bro? That was Sakai! Do you know her? Do I know the senior Hina Sakai? She’s the only daughter of the owner of the Sakai Liquor store in downtown Yamabiko! Her and Tsumugi are two of Hikonan’s Venuses! Tsumugi is one of those warm, loving older-sister types and Sakai is her perfect opposite: a cool beauty! With her model long legs and her cold side-glance, it’s every guy’s dream to get yelled at by her and for girls she’s the female to give their Valentine’s chocolates to. A senior. So she’s older than us... I guess I shouldn’t have said that then. Ever since I was a little girl, I was the tallest one in class and always had to stand in the very back. Nobody’s ever called me ’cute’ before. I was sure he was making fun of me. But he wasn’t talking about me. How embarrassing! So you guys hold your sports festival around this time? That’s right! Ui, don’t talk with your mouth full! Since we don’t have a lot of students, we do it together with the junior high. It gets pretty busy around then. We also have the Hikonan Race then! What’s that? Simply put, it’s a marathon that goes around the city, but since that in itself would be pretty boring, there are a few checkpoints where you have to complete a task to move on. And since it’s the highlight of the event, we have prizes for those who place! Are you representing the Backpipe again this year? Yeah. The owner always gives me freebies, so I’ve got to give back somehow. So what does representing a caf The Hikonan Race is sponsored by the local businesses, so all runners need to find a local sponsor to enter. We also get a spot on cable TV as a point of local interest. So there’s a live TV broadcast, too? No, no. We get a tiny spot on the local news, that’s it. Yeah, but the winner gets interviewed! The winner’s interview is a pretty good chance for some promotion, so all the business owners get pretty competitive about it. I guess there’s that, but I think getting rowdy as a town is a stronger motivator. I see. Oh well, I guess it’s got nothing to do with me. I’m back! What’s wrong... Sis? Kazuma? Yes? Get ready for your special training! What?! You want me to represent Yorozuyo in the Hikonan Race?! I asked Ayumu about it and he told me you worked quite hard in the tennis club back at your old school. I don’t know if I’d go that far... You don’t have to play it down. I mean, I saw you after the bath that one time, and your upper thighs seemed quite firm. Please stop analyzing underage boys like that! Let the special training begin! Ready? Here we have a cloth saturated with glass cleaning fluid! And here is a dry cloth for polishing! Cleaner on, cleaner off. Cleaner on, cleaner off! Now you try it. Cleaner on, cleaner off. Cleaner on, cleaner off. What exactly is this training good for? It gets the windows clean. Sis! Oh, I was just joking around! The real training starts now. What are you going to make me do now? You will heat sand in a Chinese wok and then you will thrust your hand into it hundreds- nay- THOUSANDS of times! By doing so, your fingertips will become as hard as steel and you’ll be able to strike a blow that can kill instantly! I’m going on a run. Kazuma, wait! Sheesh, he never runs with it. Hey! I’m up here! What are you doing up there? I was saving this poor kitty that climbed up this tree and couldn’t get back down again. What kitty? What were you trying to do to my stuff?! I wasn’t doing anything! You couldn’t help but notice my sweet bargains and you wanted them for yourself! I don’t... want them. Then why are you looking down like that? Is it not because of the guilt you feel in your heart? Well, the reason for that’s... What? Come out and say it, Kazuma Hoshino! It’s because the inside of your... skirt. My skirt? Watch out! Owww, you’re heavy. What are you trying to do?! What was I doing? I was saving you. I guess... ...thanks. I would have never guessed that you’re Tsumugi’s little sister. Oww! What are you doing?! You were thinking something rude just now. Was I? It looks like you really got a lot of stuff. You had errands? No, these are for Grandpa Gen. Who’s that? He lives all alone, so shopping is pretty difficult for him. So sometimes, I go shop for him. Why do you do that? Because. When someone needs your help, you give it to them. Here. Give me the bag. I knew you’ve been wanting it this whole time! Of course I don’t! I just want to carry it for you! Why would you do that though? What do you mean, "why?" Because when someone needs your help, you give it to them. Also, you shouldn’t let a girl carry something heavy. Right? Oh, well... Then, you can carry half. Half? I’m coming. Huh? It’s a pleasure to meet you. That was a bit of a shock though, to see Koyori with such a nice boyfriend! Don’t be stupid, Grandpa Gen! This guy from the city pushed Uicchu over in the mountains and he made Madoka cry. He’s an axis of evil! So there’s no way this guy would ever be my b-b-b-boy... boyfriend, ever, ever, ever! Huh? Uhmmm... My name is Gengoro. Gengoro Yamakawa. But you can call me Grandpa Gen too, if you like. That’s fine. So you live here by yourself? Yes. My daughter moved out after she got married and my wife has been gone for three years now. Oh. I’m sorry for bringing it up. You’re young, you shouldn’t worry about stuff like that! It’s not so bad for an old man to live alone. But Keita, my grandson, is getting an operation soon. I do worry about the fact that he’s so scared of it. Is it a complicated operation? No... well. The doctor reassures me that nine out of ten, all goes well. But he’s a child still, so even a small operation makes you worry. Koyori, would you visit Keita in the hospital? I think seeing you would be the best medicine for him. Of course I will! You can count on me. Cute. Don’t mock me! Maybe that was bad... Yeah, I mean, that boy was just saying that I’m cute! Your attitude was horrible. That’s right. I guess I should probably apologize. You’re finally up, sleepyhead! Good morning. Just because it’s Sunday, doesn’t mean you have to get up at noon! I’m tired from training for the Hikonan Run! Ayumu already left a while ago. Did he go sketching? No, I think he said he was going to Daigo’s. He did? Why would Ayumu go over to Daigo’s? I wouldn’t have expected you to train properly for the Hikonan Race. Well, I figure if I’m in it, I might as well not embarrass myself. Are you participating too? Me? Nope. Then what are you doing out here? My own training for the archery club. So is that outfit your club’s uniform, or what? Not really. But I’m working out, so isn’t it obvious that I would wear my PE uniform? So she’s fine wearing these clothes outside of school. I guess we’re not in the city anymore. The country sure is scary! Here. Huh? You must be thirsty. I mean, having you stare at my drink is unnerving, so just have some already. Is that okay? Sharing the bottle would be like an indirect kiss... The same place every time! You’re such an idiot. So... Ui said she was running in the Hikonan Race. Is she training too? She’s training in her own way. Here you are. An extra large portion of the Everything But the Kitchen Sink Ramen. Will you time me then? Sure! On your mark. Get set. Go! Yes? Look, Keita! Your grandpa is here to see you! Grandpa! And Koyori’s here too! Feeling good, Keita? If I was, I wouldn’t be in the hospital! Keita! Is that the way you talk to someone who came all the way here to see you? You can feel good even when you’re sick! In fact, you’ve got to try to feel extra good when you’re sick, to kick the sickness’ butt! That’s right, Keita. She’s absolutely right. Then, once the operation is over, you’ll be feeling fine again! ’K? So you really think I can get over this if I try feeling good? That’s right! There’s nothing you can’t do when you’re feeling good! Some famous people in the past said the very same thing; I read it in a textbook! Then... can you win the next Hikonan Race, Koyori? What? You said you can do anything if you’re feeling good. So you can do it! Keita, stop being so pushy! You’re putting Koyori on the spot. But... All right! I’m gonna enter the Hikonan Race and I’m gonna win it! But... Koyori... But if I win, you’ve got to feel better. Then get the operation done, and feel even better and better! So is it a deal? Yeah! Okay. Then pinky swear! Okay! Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye! It’s a pinky swear! Another rough month. I guess I’ll cut his allowance down a bit. Hey! Where’s Hina? What do you need with her? I was going to ask her to make the delivery. Well, she’s out running. She’s training for the Hikonan Race. What are you doing here? They left me here and I’m so lonely! That’s so sad. You’re all alone and you’re lonely. Yeah. Then do you want to come to my house? Is that okay? Of course it is. Ugh, did he hear all of that? Don’t worry. I’m sure he didn’t. You dropped this. Th-thanks! Bye! What? Your name is Sakai, right? Yeah. I’m really sorry about what happened earlier. I didn’t know you were a senior, and I shouldn’t have said that. Oh. It was fine. Okay. I’m glad. I couldn’t apologize again. I haven’t been practicing in a while. I guess I should do some extra work. And... start! I’m sorry, did I startle you? No, I’m fine. But maybe... maybe... this isn’t how you should be visiting a sacred temple. Sorry. I see. You’re training for the Hikonan Race. Well, they’ve done so much for us at Yorozuyo that when Sis- I mean, Miss Senka asked me to do it... I really couldn’t refuse. Good luck! I’ll be rooting for you! Thanks. I’ll try my best so I can get some good publicity for the Yorozuyo. Oh and then, if you win the race, you get to participate as one of the male gods in the Fall Festival. Male god? Yes, like the counter-part to a goddess. I see. The Fall Festival is based on the Twin Peak legend and... They place a float at the both ends of the bridge, as an image of the Twin Peaks, right? You actually know? Well, I just repeated what Tsumugi said. At the beginning of the festival, the male god receives a celebratory scroll from a priestess of our shrine and then proceeds to get on the float waiting at the bottom. The goddess similarly receives a scroll from the mayor, well, right now, the shrine parishioner... She gets on the float as well and the two face each other with the bridge in between. First the male god recites his scroll, and then the goddess answers by reciting hers. So I guess that’s in the image of the echo that’s going back and forth. Yes, but there’s actually more to it than just the Twin Peak legend. Apparently the other part to it is that the God of the Mountain descends into the village and brings his blessing by being united with a villager. And the when the longing feelings of the male god and goddess finally reach the respective hearts, a beautiful star bridge will appear in the sky. A star bridge, huh? Ayumu, what event comes to mind when you hear "sports festival"? Ball rolling, pole toppling... OH! And ball tossing. Nice selection, ball pole ball. All right, now that we’ve got a good vibe, let’s go to the preview! Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 5 Red Bean Soup And Eel & A Wedding Dress Ayumu, can you repeat what you said? Ball rolling, toppling, pole inserting. Oh no, I messed up. Thank you for the treat! ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E05.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE The crowning glory of Yamabiko South High’s Athletic Festival is the Hikonan Race. It is a long and grueling battle. Ayumu! Yes? Ayumu, your brother is preparing for this race even as we speak. In order to... be victorious! The enthusiastic support of his family is a necessity! Then I’m going to cheer him on with all I’ve got! That’s the spirit. But to get him over the finish line, he’s going to need something more than normal cheering. Therefore, I’m giving you this. But that’s a... So, whether you win or lose, we ask you all to give us your best. The representatives will now come forward and give their team pledge. We pledge for our team! We swear to compete to the best of our abilities while observing the rules of sportsmanship. I, Hina Sakai, swear as the representative of the Red Team. I, Tsumugi Toudou, swear as the representative of the White Team. Here we go! The Yamabiko South High’s Athletic Festival has officially begun! Receiving overwhelming support from the White Team’s male participants, on this side, we have Tsumugi Toudou! And on this side, beloved by all the girls on her team, we have Hina Sakai! After the ceremonial pledge by both teams, the fuse for this explosive battle has been lit! The live commentary will be brought to you by me, Daigo Minamikokubaru. And now, for our very first event, we have the bread eating competition! Get set... Zoom... She’s fast! What else did you expect from the girl who eats more than she talks on the phone; a person who snacks four times a day? That’s Nakatsugawa for you! And let’s see how Koumoto’s doing... The pole has come down because the poles went up... Koumoto has finally cleared the course! Now for the girls’ 100 meter dash! The favorite is Hina Sakai! Oh, she looked at me! No, she didn’t; she was looking at me! On your marks. Get set. She did it! She won! She’s so cool! The girls really do like her. Get set... Oh no... Huh? Why? Mugi... I guess she’s just a little too... curvy. The junior high mixed-gender ball toss has begun! Until last year, the red team has always dominated this event. Who will be victorious this year? Ayumu! Go get ’em! You don’t have to wave. Get set... Next, we’ve got the scavenger hunt! In this game, the players have to follow the instructions on their cards to win. What will each player’s card demand of them?! Big breasts... Oh yeah, Madoka. Madoka, could you- I forgot: she’s got her male phobia. So, what’s next? The archery club is going to give a demonstration. The archery club? So that means... Yeah! Ibuki is their representative! And now, we will see an archery demonstration, performed by the Archery Club’s Ibuki Hinata! Is that okay? Sharing the bottle would be like an indirect kiss... No, no. I can’t let my mind wander. I have to concentrate. It’s your fault! What’s wrong? Nothing. A shiver just ran down my spine... Ui, we’re over here. Mom! Dad! Mom, these two are- Why don’t you sit down first? Thank you. You’re Kazuma, right? Yes. I’m Kazuma Hoshino. I guess you really do look a bit like Hajime. Hajime is the name of our son. Ui’s clung to him since she’s was a little girl. Mom, you’re embarrassing me! And you’re his little brother Ayumu? Yes. Well, you better keep a firm grip on your brother, if you don’t want Ui to steal him. What? Geez, Mom!! Where’s Ibuki? She has to change, so she told us to go ahead and start without her. And Daigo has to do some things as the announcer. Okay. Well then, let’s unveil your special athletic festival lunch! The first tier is something for the eyes: a colorful assortment of side-dishes. For the second tier, we have meat-centric side dishes to fill you up. The last tier is crammed full of assorted rice balls with sour plum, salted roe, bonito flakes and salmon! But wait, there’s more! A completely identical set! Is this the shopping network or what? Our lunch is just as good! Sis! This is a special Yorozuyo lunch box. I brought it over for you. Madoka, we brought your favorite: sweet inari sushi! There’s so many! I tried to make a lot for the athletic festival. Isn’t this nice? It sure is. Bums, bums, so many bums! It’s a treasure trove of bums! The Mothers’ Bum Sumo Battle! The mothers are giving their best! Still in! Her bum is still in! Now that our mothers’ bum sumo competition has come to a close, it’s the event you’ve all been waiting for. It’s time to start the Hikonan Race! Before we start, let’s first introduce the key runners. Her stomach is as big as her dreams... representing the Backpipe, we’ve got Ui Nakatsugawa! Go get ’em, Ui! If I win, I want an extra large Jumbo Parfait! Next, representing the Sakai Liquor Store, we’ve got the cool beauty Hina Sakai! Hina, don’t you dare lose! This is so embarrassing. Next, representing the Yamagen Plant Shop as a last-minute entry, we’ve got Koyori Toudou! Now one of our most talked-about entries, representing Yorozuyo, our transfer student from the big city, Kazuma Hoshino! Kazuma! Here’s your chance to show off all the special training you did! Sis, what are you talking about? Good luck, big brother! Rah, rah, Kazuma! Knock ’em dead, Kazuma! Yeah! Ayumu, why are you wearing that?! Daigo said that cheering you on in this outfit would really perk up your fighting spirit. Daigo! No, you see... I... Huh? Good job! On your mark. Get set. And the horses are... What am I saying? Our runners have started off! And now, let’s connect to our reporter, Kasane Toudou. Miss Kasane, can you hear me? Miss Kasane? Yes! My name is Kasane Toudou. I’m standing at the very first checkpoint, where runners will be receiving their first assignment. Participants will be required to finish off 30 bowls of the Azuki Palace’s famous sweet red-bean soup. You don’t say! So for their first assignment, they’ll have to eat 30 bowls of sweet red-bean soup! Now, according to our report, Nakatsugawa had bet on the competitive eating part of the race to be ramen and secretly practiced, but it looks like she was barking up the wrong tree! Ui... Mom, do you think Ui’s going to be okay? Of course she is! This is incredible! Nakatsugawa has finished the 30 bowls of red-bean soup in an instant! I’m seeing her do it with my own eyes, yet I can’t even begin to comprehend where she’s putting all this food! Told ya. Hello and sorry to keep you waiting! I’m Kasane Toudou, reporting now from the second checkpoint! Here we have a special pool, filled with eels provided by the downtown "Unagin" Eel shop. Our runners won’t be able to move on until they have caught ten eels. Unbelievable! So the next task is eel catching?! All eels caught will later be enjoyed by the staff. I don’t think I want to eat anything sweet again for a LONG time. That weeded out a lot of guys. Oh no, I’m soaking wet! Eek, an eel just went up my shirt! Hey Ui! Where are you going? Why don’t you ask this eel?! Classic Ui... Our runners are all struggling to capture their eels at checkpoint two, but it looks like Toudou has no trouble with her exquisite technique! She honed her skills by catching loaches in the rice paddies and eating them raw as a snack. I never did that!! All right! Now, I’ve just got to stay in the lead. At checkpoint three, our runners will be putting on costumes! Your costume is determined by the card you draw. We can’t wait to see what our runners will be coming back dressed as! It looks like our current lead runner Toudou’s costume is... a wedding dress! Why did I have to get a costume that’s so hard to run in? What? It looks like most of our runners have reached checkpoint three. They’ve changed into various costumes, but... What’s this?! Nakatsugawa! That’s a... that’s a... That’s so cute. I want to squeeze it. She’s making weird noises! If I can make it- If I can make it to the finish line, I can keep my promise to Keita. I can make him better again! Almost, only a little bit... I’m almost there... I’m almost there... What’s wrong? Hey! Are you all right? I’m fine! Did you hurt your leg? Oh no, what happened? You can’t run on that. You should quit. Never! Why not? Because I made a promise to Keita. Keita? Oh... is Keita Gengoro’s grandson? I told him that I’d win the Hikonan Race. If I win, he promised to feel better, and go into his operation feeling good, and beat this sickness! I understand. Then I’ll let you lean on my shoulder until the finish line. Don’t be an idiot! Do you think I could be victorious, coming in arm and arm with my enemy?! This is not the time to be saying that. No! I’m going to make it to the finish line myself and then Keita... Why is she chasing me?! We’ve got to do something! What are you doing? Just shut up and trust me! You want to win, don’t you? You want to win for Keita, no matter what, right?! Just trust me on this one. And heeeeeeeeere they come!!!! Who do we have in the lead? It’s my brother! I can’t believe it! Hoshino is running with Toudou in his arms! And, and, and... They officially finished! And now, I’d like to announce the staff’s verdict for the race. According to our photos, a part of Toudou’s body reached the tape first, putting her in first place, with Hoshino in second place. And as you all know, it was time once again for the annual Hikonan Race. I wonder which store won this year? We’ve got our reporter Kyouko covering the story. Kyouko? I’m here! Reporting live for Yahho, I’m Kyouko. Right now, I’m a guest at Yamabiko South High. It’s time to interview the winners of the race! If you could tell us your name and which business you’re representing... Keita, are you watching this?! I won, just like I promised I would! Now you’ve got to feel your best and kick that sickness in the rear! I will! Koumoto’s mother won at the Mothers’ Bum Sumo. What would you say lead you to victory? I think it was the fact that I knew that my biggest ass-versary is myself. And a word from the runner-up, Mrs. Minamikokubaru. I think I was simply not ass-ertive enough. Oh no, it’s already time for the preview! Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 6 When the Bucket Drops Mrs. Nakatsugawa, thank you for covering my butt. ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E06.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE This is where Kazuma and Nakatsugawa... Final exams? What’s that? Is that a custom around here? You mean you don’t have final exams in the city schools?! You don’t have to believe everything he says. You act like you’re on top of things to be fooling around like that, but are you really okay? Well, probably... maybe. So that means no. Well... The move’s been so hectic that I haven’t really been able to focus on school. Then now’s the time to get it together. You’re looking at mandatory summer school if you do badly on the final exams. Really? That’s right! Well, I really wouldn’t want to waste my precious summer vacation with that. Which is why I’m getting tutored by Ibuki. You’re good at school, Hinata? Why are you acting so shocked? I just thought you were too involved in your club to pay much attention to school work. How rude! I’m like a swan, you know. I make it seem effortless. I see. You’re paddling hard to not sink, but nobody can see because it’s underwater. But that’s not actually how it works. Where did you just come from? Swans apparently have an oil-gland near their rear end, and they use the secreted oil to repel the water and gather air around them. Really? So then, is Hinata secreting oil out of her butt? Of course not, you idiot! Well, enough about that! I’ve got a special strategy for all of you, regarding the final exams. You want everyone to spend the night and have a study-session. All right. Approved. Are you sure that’s okay? We don’t have any guests in the old wing anyway, and who can say no to an academic pursuit? I have a request! Koyori, this isn’t a dojo raid... Kazuma Hoshino, we came to study! Looks like your leg is all better. Yup, it’s totally fine! I’m sorry for being late. I should apologize for making you tutor us all for the exams. Don’t worry about it. Tutoring others is a good chance for me to review. It’s also a good chance to make sure these two are actually studying. They finally made it! Hello! Sorry we’re late. No problem. Madoka, you came too! Yes. Koyori invited me to come study. Well then! It looks like everyone is here, so why don’t we get started? Wait! There’s one more person coming. Sorry. I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have. My apologies. I still haven’t apologized for that time. Don’t mock me! I thought this study session would be a good opportunity. If I see Hoshino, I’ll tell him I’m sorry. Hello? Yes! Welcome! You’re finally here! Hurry up and come on in. Everyone’s waiting for you. Oh yeah... you haven’t met before, have you? This is Ayumu Hoshino. He’s Kazuma’s little brother. He’s the one who was cheering his brother on in a cheerleading outfit at the athletic festival. A good kid who’s good to his brother. Umm... Looks like you’ve taken a liking to Ayumu, Hina. All right! Let the study session for the final exams begin! Yeah! Hey, Ui! What? All right, once again, let the study session begin! Ui...! Oh, come on! Ui, you can have a snack later, but right now you should study. Fine. For x + 3 = 8, you can just subtract 3 from 8. And then x = 5. This is like... this. Which is why here... you get this. Oh, I see. Is it this late already? Overdoing it is counterproductive, so should we take a break and have dinner? Dinner? But before that, we should all take a bath. A bath... you say? YEAH!!!!!! So, what the hell? The guys and girls are separate? Of course. Look at you, bro! And look at you, bro of my bro! How can you be so calm?! On the other hand I... I... I have been waiting and expecting and now, I don’t even have to hold up my bucket! Wow! It’s like magic! That’s not something to be impressed by. Oh Madoka, your boobs are so big! Let me touch them a bit. Oh, I don’t know if you shou- Madoka’s are pretty big, but Mugi’s got the biggest boobs of all. Koyori! You shouldn’t say things like that. But she’s right. Your boobs really are huge. Hina! Not you too! I was wrong, bro. I know. It’s pretty normal for you. I can’t just sit around, pissing and moaning. It’s time for me to grow a pair and take my third leg out for a walk! Your third leg? I’m going, bro! I’m going to see the unseen dreams of Shangri-La! Gotcha! My eyes! My EYES! I knew exactly what you were thinking! Koyori... You ought to cover yourself... Take that! And that! Take that! How do you like that? Hey, stop that! That’s good! Yeah, that’s great! I’m not losing this round of boob-sumo! Come on, then! Ouch! The boob sponge is all ready now! Who wants a sponge bath first? I bet that’s what they’re doing over there. I don’t think so. Why do I gotta be over on this side, washing your dirty back? I’m sorry it’s dirty. Hey bro, is there no secret passageway connecting the women’s bath to the men’s bath? Of course there isn’t! But there is an employee entrance by the garden wall. That’s it! There it is. There’s no reason to risk trying to peek over the wall when you can just sneak in here. This really hits the spot after a bath! This feels so good. Madoka, here I go! Okay! You’re pretty good! Now take this! Where is it? Umm... the ping pong ball... is right there. Koumoto wins! What?! Wow! I guess there’s a reason that Yamabiko is famous for these. Kazuma! There’re fireflies down by the river! Let’s go see them! All right. Let’s go, Ui. I’m... good for now. I’m going to stay here for a bit. But... Come on! Hurry up! Coming right away! Fireflies, huh? Hajime is lucky to have such a beautiful fiancé. Oh... really... No, we were really surprised. Ui, stop being so quiet. Introduce yourself to Kuriko. What is wrong with you? Hurry up and introduce yourself! Ui! Where are you going? He’s an idiot. I knew I’d find you here. What’s wrong? Your mom’s looking for you. That day, Ibuki stayed with me in the lookout the entire time. She listened to me until the sun went down and as I talked, I calmed down more and more. I was shocked when I heard my brother was going to get married. I felt like he was getting snatched away. But then I realized that what I did wasn’t right. Where have you been? We’ve been looking for you everywhere! Mom, where’s Hajime! Hajime took Kuriko to the river by Yorozuyo to show her the fireflies. Ui, wait! I thought I’d go and apologize and then congratulate them. Haji... In the end, I couldn’t say "Congratulations", even at their wedding. Ui. Dinner is ready, so can you please call everyone in? Okay. Yum. This is good. Sis, can I have more rice? Your appetite has gotten so much better! I feel like food tastes better now. It’s a sign that you’re healthy! We’ve got plenty more, so eat all you want! Thank you. I’m done. Are you sure? I guess I don’t have much of an appetite today. Oh really? It looks like she’s at her limit. Let’s call it a day. You should go to bed early today and then wake up early tomorrow. We’ll go back to studying in the cool morning hours! Doesn’t sleeping together like this remind you of a school trip? It’s so much fun! It looks like you were only too tired to study! Huh? Are you changing, Kasane? Yeah. I mean, I like yukata fine, but I brought my favorite pajamas. Tada! Wow, that’s really cute! Yeah, huh? I feel like I can’t really fall asleep without them. So bro... What? Tell me why I’m sleeping next to a bro, when there are also seven girls under this roof? How should I know? But then, what did you expect? This is outrageous! How can I possibly fall asleep like this? Just a short distance away are seven girls comparing the sensitivity of their breasts and showing each other their underwear! No, you’re the outrageous one. Bro, I’m outta here! I’m off on that age-old adventure, that quest of creeping into a girl’s room at night! Are you serious? Dead serious. It’s very delicious if you put honey on sweet red beans. Kazu! What are you doing here? What do you mean? I was going to the bathroom. What are you doing here? I was... well... I couldn’t really sleep, so... that is to say... I knew it! You knew what, exactly? Anyway, you don’t have to laugh at me! Here you go. Where did these come from? Tsumugi thought you might wake up in the middle of the night and be hungry, so she made them for you from the leftover rice. Ui, you can eat these if you get hungry. Hurry up and eat before your stomach’s growling wakes everyone up. The moon is so beautiful. Yeah. It’s so bright though, you can’t really see the stars. On the night of the festival, a bridge of stars appears, right? Oh yeah. That’s the legend of the Twin Peaks. But the bridge of stars only appears when the hearts of the god and the goddess are united. Oh, really? I’d really like to see that... A bridge in the starry skies... Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 7 The Pink Nyanbobo What’s a nyanbobo? No idea. Kazu, you don’t know what a nyanbobo is? You should study more if you don’t know nyanbobo. It’s surprising that you don’t know nyanbobo. Nyanbobo is quite famous here. Nyanbobo’s cute... Nyanbobo, nyanbobo! Maybe the sole purpose of this preview is to make us say nyanbobo. ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E07.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE Our teacher’s an idiot! I hate homework! It’s over! It is over, and I’m over. You’re already feeling like you failed? Yeah, Daigo! The time until the grades come in is when you can have the most fun. Being depressed would be a total waste. I’m not sure if that’s the best way to look at it... You’re right. I guess you’re right. Let’s kick it up a notch and go all out in Honchou! Yay, agreed! Kazu, you’re coming too, right? Sure, but where’s Honchou? It’s two stops away from Yamabiko. It’s the biggest city around here, it’s where most people go on days off to have fun or do some shopping. Sounds like Shibuya or Harajuku. Shibu... what? Is that something tasty? Anyway, we can all celebrate our finals being over! Let’s go have some fun! I’m going to pass. I’ve got archery club starting at noon. Oh... I guess the ban on club activities is lifted now that finals are over? Yup. We have a meet soon, so I have to focus on practicing. Later. Okay. Yeah. I didn’t apologize during the study session either. Don’t mock me! I really need to apologize for that this time. There she is. It looks like we’re all here. Then let’s go! Where’s Hoshino’s little brother? And where’s Hinata? Ibuki said she has to meet with her archery club, and I’m not sure what happened to Ayumu... He said he already promised to go sketching with his art club today. It’s good that Ayumu has found some friends he can go out with. That’s right, Kazuma Hoshino! You can’t smother your little brother forever. Says the girl who still asks our big sister to sew her buttons on when they get loose. Oh, shut up! That happened one time! So I guess Hoshino’s little brother isn’t coming. Bummer. Yes. Yes. I understand. Yes, thank you. What did they say? They said we’d have to wait two hours for a karaoke booth for this many people. What?! Two hours?! You don’t have to get all worked up about it. Let’s go kill some time at the arcade. Looks like I win again! Kazuma Hoshino! It looks like I’ll have to challenge you in real life. Come outside so we can wrestle! Yeah right! Kasane’s so good! I did it! Do you want to go next? I couldn’t, I’m really bad at these things. It’s really easy though. You just have to step on the panel that lights up. But... Look, it’s already starting! But... Come on, hurry up! Like this? Am I doing okay? Yeah! You’re really good! Keep it up! Kasane, I don’t know... if this is for me... Not again! "Love at Mount Liang Academy"? What the hell is this? What does it look like? Strip mahjong. You play against 36 beautiful transfer students and make them take it all off. Any girl you completely strip becomes your ally and you can use her special powers in the subsequent matches. There’s my tile! Tsumo! It’s a baiman! All right, my little Shishin! Let me see how that Kumon dragon tattoo wraps itself around your body. Awesome. Th-this is quite... Go on, go on! This is pretty risky though... You got that right! Is it okay to keep watching? Why?! Why can I never get it? What’s wrong, Ui? I can’t get one of these! I’m going to get more change. I guess I can give it a try. Oh! Wait a minute. This is the same thing that she had on her bag... Hey, you got a Bobopin! What’s a Bobopin? It’s the local cheapo mascot. Nyanbobo’s pink version. Or in short, Bobopin. The crane machine is apparently the only place to get one. They’re pretty rare, you know. Huh. Who would’ve thought? Excuse me, Kazu. You know, Ui... You could just buy those Yummy sticks and it would be a lot cheaper. Huh? What’s this? It looks like your child’s development changes according to how you respond to the quiz. So let’s try to raise our child the best we can. Our... child? Yes! I’ll try my best! Failure is the mother of... The answer is c: "success." S-sex? The haiku poet Kyoshi Takahama coined the term descriptive... The answer is sketching. Objective sketching. Ejaculation? Dead ball in Japanese would be... Is this "shikyuu"? In her womb! Is something wrong, Kazuma? You’ve been acting kind of funny... Oh no, I’m fine! I’ve just got to use the bathroom. Huh? When we got to the arcade, everyone split up and now they’re doing their own thing. This is my chance to apologize to Hoshino. I just need to get him alone. Hoshino! Oh, that reminds me! Look at this! It’s a Bobopin! You have the same thing, don’t you? If you want, you can... I can have it?! Yes... sure. Thank you. It looks like we finally made it... Get ready to have some fun, people! What are we going to eat? Yeah, huh? Why don’t you pick a song before you worry about food?! You’re right, but they’ve got such a great menu here! The HoneyTo is supposed to be really good here. What’s that? Oh, I see. When they take thick slices of toast, cover it in honey and then top it with ice-cream and fruit, right? Hey, Ui. You drooled on the menu. Huh? It wasn’t me. I’m so sorry. It’s just that, I can’t resist honey... I’ve never heard of HoneyTo before, but just picturing crispy on the outside, soft on the inside toast covered in hot honey and then topped with ice cream and fruit seemed like such a dream-food to me that I couldn’t help myself. I can’t stoooopppp... Mighty girl, spin and fly away! So far that you could reach the stars in the sky. Mighty boy, you miracle... Be bold and daring! Let’s embrace this very moment! Hinata, you’re distracted. You have to focus. Yes. What lookout? Remember when we first came to Yamabiko and we got off at the wrong bus stop? Oh, yeah. There’s a trail up the mountain close to that stop. The lookout is at the very top of that trail. The view from there is really pretty. The art club went there and sketched and ate lunch and it was a lot of fun! If it’s that nice, I’d like to see it too sometime. We should go together! That place is great! Damn. I got Fs in math and physics. Don’t let a few Fs pull you down, bro. Well, how did you do? I’ve got Japanese, Japanese history, and P.E. Three Fs, huh? No, those were the three classes I didn’t fail. That’s extreme. Well, summer classes are a bummer, but what’s done is done. You’re right! There’s no reason to get depressed over two or three or four or five or six Fs! Uhm... Maybe you should get depressed, if you’ve got that many. So I guess Hinata didn’t fail a single class? Yeah. She may be flat as a board, but her grades are good. Not sure what her boobs have to do with it. Ibuki is really something. She’s so involved with her club and her grades are still great. She’s been going to the archery club every day since finals ended. They’ve got a meet coming up soon. It’s actually next Sunday. Right! Then we should go cheer her on. Yeah! What?! Tsumugi and Sakai aren’t coming? Tsumugi has her after school job at Yorozuyo. And Sakai has to help in her parents’ shop. Damn it. The boob ratio of this group has just been slashed in half! I guess we’ll just have to have Ui and Madoka fill in the gap- Hey! Wait for me! Ibuki’s meet should be starting soon. You didn’t all have to come down here. It must have taken a long time. Yeah, we didn’t think it would take three transfers and an hour and a half to get here. I guess we missed the preliminary rounds, but we’re here for the final! Yeah! Ibuki, I’m cheering for you, so good luck! Thanks, Ayumu! But if you came to cheer for me, you should wear the outfit you wore at the Hikonan Race. Oh, I guess.. that was just a special one-time thing... And I didn’t bring that outfit today. I’m sorry, it was a joke! Just a joke. Oh, you. I thought Hinata would be nervous about the finals, but she was totally relaxed, huh? Yeah! She’s got this one in the bag! But... What’s wrong, Ui? I can’t really put my finger on it, but I feel like she was trying too hard to be goofy. Huh? Delivering here’s always so tough. The archery competition should have already started. I’ll splurge a bit. Good luck, Hinata. Hinata was really close. Yeah! If only that last arrow had hit the mark! She made it to the last round though. That’s impressive. What’s taking her so long? She did tell us to wait for her in the lobby once the competition was over, right? Oh no. It looks like her phone’s off. I wonder why she disappeared like that. Well, I guess I can understand. I guess she wanted to be alone. Probably. She could’ve come over and said something though. Hey. Ayumu. Huh? You have to take the mountain trail if you want to get to the lookout, right? Yeah. The trail is marked, so it shouldn’t be too hard to find. Gotcha. Can you walk home without me? Brother! I thought you’d be up here! Hoshino. What are you doing here? What I’d like to know is why you took off without saying anything. Everyone was worried about you. I guess I... Were you upset about losing in the last round? I was scared. I’ve been involved in archery since junior high. Until now, I always gave my best during practice and made it to the last round in the tournament. But at the very last moment, I suddenly got scared thinking "What if I miss this last shot?" I knew I had to concentrate. I knew I had to calm down. But I got more and more scared I felt like I wanted to run away. It didn’t even matter anymore if I won or lost. I just wanted it to be over. Then everything went white in my head and when I came to, I noticed I had released the arrow. I had run away. It wasn’t the other competitors I couldn’t beat; it was myself I couldn’t defeat. I was so ashamed of that, I didn’t want anybody to see me. That’s why I came up here. Hinata... Finals, you suck! This is the place to yell if something’s gone wrong, right? I’m such an idiot! Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 8 Episode 8 - Butt in with OO (blank)! Ayumu, do you know what goes in the blank? Could it be peni- Wa- Penicillin? Am I sick? Not sure if that was quite right... Speaking of "butt" and "in", what comes to mind? Uhm... bi...? Bike! Yeah, it goes vrooom and crash! Wait, what the hell?! Oh yeah, that’s it! Correct. ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E08.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE Ok. So... you can’t tell anyone that I cried, okay? You can’t tell anyone. Huh? Sure, Hinata. It’ll be our secret. Thanks. Also... you don’t have to call me Hinata anymore. You can call me Ibuki. Huh? But... why? What do you mean, "why?" Because... well... Ibuki! Ui? I figured you’d be up at the lookout! I can’t believe you just ran off without saying anything! Everyone was so worried. Huh? Kazu, why are you... Thank you. Was this your last delivery for the day? Then how about a cold drink inside? I can’t. I’ve got to go home and study. That’s right. You’re planning on entering a university, aren’t you? Then I guess that’s not going to work. Yeah, yeah. That’s totally right. That’s fine; I’m free. What?! The beach?! I want to go, I really want to go!! I haven’t done anything yet this summer! Then I’ll see you next Wednesday. I’ll call you again once we’ve got all the details worked out. Okie dokie! Could you pass it on to Ibuki? Tell her that we’re all going to the beach. Hey, Ui? Is something wrong? Uh, oh, no! Right. I’ll make sure to tell her. Madoka, I didn’t know that you volunteer in the library during the summer. Yes. I read to the children and put on little plays. That’s not all she does! She reads the kids her own stories too. They really love her! Wow, really? I think "love" is a bit too much... It’s just that, ever since I was little, I liked making up stories, and once, I read one of my stories and they seemed to like it, so... It’s really impressive that you can write a story kids actually appreciate. Yeah, you didn’t expect that, did you?! It’s not like they’re your stories. What are you talking about? My friend’s accomplishment is my accomplishment! There’s nothing wrong with having some pride! Not to change the subject, but what’s with the studying, Sakai? I have to make this summer count to get into a university. I’m sorry. I feel like we forced you to come along. Taking breaks is important, too. Also... this is a good opportunity. If I get a moment alone with Hoshino, I can apologize to her. I need to properly apologize about that thing. It’s the ocean! The ocean! The ocean! Hey! You can’t just run into the water without warming up! They’re such kids! Not like some people... Now there’s a woman! C’mon, Koumoto! Hurry up! But I haven’t quite prepared myself... What are you trying to hide, Koumoto? There’s no way you could hide those anyway! Huh? I haven’t been thrown? Uh, well you could say that we’ve been somewhat involved... By that I mean "as friends" of course! Anyway, I think I won’t throw you just for that sort of contact any more... However, if we had some sort of ex-x-x-x-extreme contact... I couldn’t guarantee the same... Extreme contact? Madoka, let me do that. Okay. There you go. Thank you very much. Then let’s go. All right. Take that! And that! And there, and there! Time to strike back! Take that! Taste the power of science! It looks like the tunnel’s open. Kazuma... Ibuki, I’m glad you’re hanging out with Ayumu, but don’t you want to go swimming at all? Why? It’s not like there’s some law that you have to get into the water when you go to the beach! Huh? Actually, Ibuki’s like me and can’t swi- Ayumu! You can’t swim? But I thought we already determined that you could float on water by secreting oil from your butt. Will you forget that idiotic joke already?! If you have to butt in violently, at least do it with the back of your hand... It’s not a bad thing if you can’t swim. But it’s good to learn something you couldn’t do before. Why don’t I practice swimming with you? Okay! Yes please! Hoshino can teach Hinata. What?! Not if I can’t make it... That’s it. Like that. You’re doing good. Now try putting your face in. You want me to put my face in where? Where do you think? Into the ocean! All right. That’s good! See, you can do it if you try! Are you all right? I thought I was going to die! You could’ve just taken a breath. Then you should’ve told me to do that! You think I can do something that complicated?! If I could, I wouldn’t need to learn! Huh? Ui, are you taking a break? I’m really thirsty, so I thought I’d get some shaved ice. Hey, do you know where Kazu is? He was with us a while ago but then he disappeared. If you’re looking for Kazuma, he’s over there. It looks like he’s teaching Ibuki how to swim. Kazu... and Ibuki... That’s it, that’s it, Ui! Keep doing that! What’s wrong, Ui? N-nothing! I’m going to go get that shaved ice now! Ui... Hey, Madoka! Where’s Tsumugi? Tsumugi had to go do something, so she asked me to watch our things. Oh. And I got her some shaved ice, too... Do you want it instead? Are you sure? Of course! Are you all right? You shouldn’t eat so fast. I know, but I don’t feel like I’m eating shaved ice unless I do this. That was delicious. Right now I’m alone with her. This might be my only chance... I-I have to ask her now. So umm... Nakatsugawa... Yes? I’m not sure if I should be asking you this. Go ahead. Then I’ll just ask. How do you feel about Ka-Kazuma? What do you mean by that? I mean... do you... l-l-like him? Of course that’s... Well, it’s not like I dislike him. I don’t dislike him, so I suppose that means I like him. Oh, while it’s true that I do like him, the way I like him is more like... you like an older brother. That’s it! I like him like I like my older brother! Like your older brother? Why are you even asking, Madoka? Well, because... well, how should I say this? I’m back! A watermelon!! I thought it would be fun to split watermelon with everybody, so I went and bought one at the beach house. Then why don’t I go call everyone over? If I recall correctly, the first time the illustrious Daigo Minamikokubaru learned of the activity known as watermelon splitting, was some ten odd years ago, at the age of three. Back then- Stop talking already! The watermelon is going to get warm! She’s right! All right, all right! Then let the watermelon splitting begin! All set! Are you sure you can’t see? I can’t see a thing. Then I bet you won’t know whose breasts these are. Whoever’s it is, it’s pretty flat... Could it be Ibuki’s? I told you: please do that with your hand. Here I go! Right, right! Right, right! You’ve gone too far! It’s not over there, turn around, turn around! Here it is! No, here! Take this! Ibuki! You can totally see! Here I go! *sniff sniff* *sniff sniff* *sniff sniff* *sniff* It’s here! Amazing! She found and split the watermelon by smell alone. That’s amazing, Ui-chu! That’s not quite how the game usually goes... All right! We’re gonna play some beach volleyball. Everyone, split into teams! Wait a sec... Where’s Sakai and Ayumu? I’m not sure where Sakai is, but Ayumu was feeling pretty tired, so Tsumugi was saying he should take a little break. So you’re saying that Ayumu and Tsumugi are by themselves, under the beach umbrella? Maybe they’re... Ayumu... could you oil me up? Y-yes. That feels great. You’re very good, Ayumu. Yes, like that. Like that. Oil every nook and cranny of my body. That’s so good! I’m done. Now it’s your turn! I’m going to rub oil all over you... with my breasts. All over you. Something like that. Yeah right! The hand hurts, too. Tsumugi? Yes? Is there something you’d like to buy? What? Well, I was just wondering why you work part time after school at Yorozuyo. I guess I’m working at Yorozuyo as sort of a dry run. Dry run? I was thinking I’d like to work full time at Yorozuyo in the future. Now why do you think that is? Because you like Yorozuyo? That’s a tiny bit right. But it’s not just Yorozuyo that I like. I like all of Yamabiko City. I like the clean water, the clear skies, the abundant greenery. What I like most though, is that warm connection all the people here have with one another. Maybe I’m too biased... I think that too. Thank you. An inn is a place where you welcome people who are visiting from the outside. If I give them the best hospitality I can, then I figure they’ll want to come to my beloved Yamabiko City again. I want a lot of people to fall in love with this place like that. I want to tell them that this is a good place. That this is the kind of place that’s always embracing you, through the good times and the bad. That sounds like my brother! Huh? I’m like your brother? No, not you... Yamabiko City. When you said it was always there for you, no matter what happened, and that it was always kind... I thought that sounded just like my brother. I see. But I’ve never been anything but a bother to him, ever since I was little. You shouldn’t say that, Ayumu. I think your brother is doing everything he can to keep you smiling. I’m sure it would make him sad to see you looking down because of that. If you want to thank your brother for all he’s done for you, you shouldn’t think of the things he did as a debt. Instead, you should just try to make him smile for every time he made you smile. Make him smile... You’re right. I don’t know how I’ll do it, but I’ll give it my best. That’s it! Cute. Sakai! So this is where you were. Everyone else is changed and getting ready to go. Come on, let’s go. Everyone’s waiting. Right now I’m alone with Hoshino. I could say I was sorry for that one time... Hoshino! What’s up? Uh... well... I’m... sorry. Huh? Oh, you don’t have to apologize for something this insignificant. Come on, let’s hurry up and go. That’s not... what I meant. That was a lot of fun! It sure was. I burned pretty badly though. I bet it’s going to sting when I get in the bath. Hey, Ibuki. When did Kazu start calling you "Ibuki"? Hmmm! When was that? I can’t remember. Why do you ask? I guess there’s no reason really. I was just... I noticed, is all. I see. Yeah, that’s all. Really. That’s the only reason. Man this was a babetastic outing with lots of skin! Ayumu, let’s ignore this idiot and go to the preview. Okay. Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 9 Yellow Jackets Are Diuranal If Ayumu had worn a micro-bikini or an old school swim uniform, it would have been perfect! Neither of those are for guys. So you’re saying guy things are okay? Well, I guess... All right, Ayumu! Next time let’s go for a butt-floss loin cloth! Okay! Not okay! ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E09.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE So, how do you like our new parfait? It’s so sweet and cold and delicious! That’s all you care about, huh? My ice cream!! Jeez, that Daigo. I wondered why he wanted to go all the way to town. Go figure: a dirty bookstore tour. What’s that supposed to be, anyway? Huh? Sakai? Hoshino. What are you doing here all alone? Sakai! Do you have a fever? You don’t. So then... what’s wrong? I’m... hungry. I guess when you’re starving, even you eat like that. No, I didn’t mean it like that! I actually prefer that. So I guess you like girls who eat a lot. Well... actually... Anyway... what happened? Why were you dying on the side of the road? I ran away from home. You ran away?! It’s when you leave your home with no intention of returning, without telling anyone in advance. I know what it means! I got into a fight with my dad and I just ran out. I didn’t bring my wallet or a change of clothes or anything. So now what are you going to do? Don’t look at me like that! I’m already freeloading at Yorozuyo. I understand. Thanks for the food. I’ll figure something out. Sakai! Hello? Sakai... Is this your room? It’s small, but you can stay here for now. Oh, the ceiling slopes, so be caref- Brother, you’re home! Uh, yeah... Sis says it’s dinner time. Okay. Aren’t you coming? Uh... I’ve got this thing I need to do. Just tell her I’ll be right there. Okay. What are you going to do for dinner? I had a lot of food before, so I’m fine for the rest of the day. Oh, okay. I’m going to go eat, so please wait here for me. I’m sorry I kept you waiting. Kazuma, is everything okay? Why are you yelling? Uh, it’s nothing! J-just a yellow jacket that flew into my room. Yellow jackets are diurnal insects; they don’t fly around at night. Whatever!! Are you sure you’re okay? I-I-I’m fine! It already flew out! What were you doing anyway? I was sweaty so I wanted to wipe myself down. You could’ve just said something! I would have brought you a moist towel or something. It’s fine, I’ve put on my clothes. Don’t scare me like that. If Sis finds out you’re in here, she’ll... I forgot to put that back on. This feels so good. Nothing beats a bath after a long day of work! You can sleep here tonight. Where are you going to sleep? I’ll sleep on the floor. I can’t let you do that. I’m the one who is imposing myself, so I’ll sleep on the floor. I know, but I can’t let a girl sleep on the floor and take the bed myself. Then let’s do it this way. If we do this, we can both sleep on the futon. Uhm... this is a little... I never toss and turn so it’ll be fine. It’s more that... I won’t kick you or anything. Uh huh... So, why did you have a fight with your dad? Oh, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to. I want to go to a university in Tokyo, but my dad is against it. He thinks that if I go to the big city, I’ll never want to come back. Just smelling sake makes me feel woozy, so I could never produce it. I could help on the business side though. Which is why I thought I could go to a university and study management or product development. Those are the kind of things I’d really like to study. Then I could get our sake to even more people, in different ways. in all kinds of forms. So this is what you talked to your father about? I’ve tried to, many many times. The first time I told him I wanted to go to a university in Tokyo, he just yelled at me. The next time I tried, my mom and dad got into a fight with each other. The next time, my dad yelled at me again. The next time, there was panic because of a fire. The next time I tried, some customers came in right then. And then the next time I tried to say something... I think I get it. You haven’t had a chance to talk about it yet. I feel like I never will. I’m sure you will. You’ve just got to wait for the right opportunity. That’s right. Hoshino? What? I’m sorry. Oh, you don’t have to apologize. You needed help and I happened to be- That’s not what I mean. I’m talking about when we first met. You said my charm was cute but I misunderstood and got mad at you. Oh, that... Don’t mock me! I’ve been wanting to apologize for that for so long, but I never could and it’s really been bothering me. Sakai. You just said something you’ve been wanting to say for a long time. I’m sure it’ll be the same with your dad. One of these days, you’ll be able to tell him. Hoshino... Yes? Thank you. Kazuma, it’s time to get up. You can’t sleep all day just because it’s summer vacation. Kazuma, are you awake? I want to fold up the futon, so I’m opening the door. One moment, please! I understand the circumstances. I don’t like that you didn’t tell me from the very beginning, but... When a bird begs for shelter, even a hunter... even a hunter... even a hunter... is surprised? When a bird begs for shelter, even a hunter can’t kill it. That’s it! That’s exactly it! So, as the landlady of Yorozuyo, I can’t watch you suffer. But. If you don’t work, you don’t eat. You’ll be expected to help out like an intern while you live here. Understood? You look good! So why do I have to do this too? Tsumugi left yesterday to go on vacation with her family and I’d already been thinking it would be nice to have an extra person! All right, you two, I’m counting on you. Welc- Dad?! So it’s true! You really are working at Yorozuyo as an intern! Looks like I have to clean the entrance next. Jeez, Sis sure doesn’t mess around... No. You’re coming with me! Hey! Stop that! Who the hell are you? Well, who the hell are you? Dad, please... Dad? So then he’s your... You’re that kid from the big city! So you’re the one who has been giving her all these ideas! No, he hasn’t. Hoshino doesn’t have anything to do with this. Shut up! Just shut your mouth! "Just shut your mouth"... No wonder she can’t tell you anything, when you just yell at her without listening. And look where it’s gotten you. Are you trying to tell me how to talk to my daughter? She wants to go to college to help you with your business! What? She wants to get your sake out to more people. That’s why she wants to go to a university! Is that true, Hina? Then why didn’t you just say that?! Because you never let her talk! Shut up and stay out of this! I won’t! You damn brat! You think you’re hot stuff, just because you came from a big city? That’s enough. Mr. Sakai, I can’t have you behave violently here at Yorozuyo. It only went this far because this little punk was giving me lip! But I’m taking my daughter home now! Kazuma is a very important guest here. Since your daughter came to him for help, she is essentially a guest as well. And here at Yorozuyo, we definitely don’t let our important customers get snatched away, no matter what! Honey, the Yorozuyo innkeeper called just now. She said that our daughter was going to be staying there for awhile, so we don’t need to worry. Are you listening? I know you’re not really asleep. Ouch! What the hell are you doing?! See? I knew you weren’t asleep. You idiot! I would’ve jumped ten feet straight up if you’d done that while I was really asleep! So, the innkeeper told me why Hina wants to go to college. She said it was so she could help us here with our business. I gave birth to a good kid. Hey, you’re not the only one who made her. So what are you going to do? What are you talking about? It’s not like I can’t understand that you want to keep her close because she’s our only daughter, but you should think about what she wants, too. You think I don’t know that?! Of course... I know that. What? Her dad is challenging me to a duel? Not a duel, per se. It’s a challenge to tug-of-war. Tug-of-war? It’s an old tradition in these parts. Whenever the villagers had a dispute, they would settle it by electing their strongest representatives, who would then have a tug-of-war on the grounds of the Kotama Shrine. There are stories from when my grandmother was alive where romantic disputes were settled with a game of tug-of-war. I would never have imagined that anybody would suggest something like that nowadays. But why does he want to have a round of tug-of-war with me? It looks like he’s under the impression that you’re a bad seed trying to corrupt his daughter. A bad seed? Well, what are you going to do? Will you accept his challenge? You don’t have to accept it. I don’t want to cause you any more trouble. No. I’m going to do it. I’m going to show that stubborn old guy! If Kazuma wins, she can do as she pleases, but if Mr. Sakai wins, she’ll have to go back home. You got it? Yes! It looks like we’re all ready. Sis... do I really have to wear this? Of course you do! This is a ritual being performed at the shrine, which means you must be dressed in the proper attire. And what are all these people doing here? Kazuma... Ayumu! Why are you dressed like this too? ’Cuz. Sis told me that I have to wear this if I really want to show you my support. All right. This is a holy match laid down before the gods. Make sure that you won’t hold a grudge afterwards. Young people have such nice butts. I wish my butt was as smooth. I wouldn’t mind trading my rusty rear for that one. You said it! Ladies! A holy match is about to commence, so please refrain from watching it with the wrong eyes?! Will you both please pick up the rope? Begin! Get him, Kazuma! Hoshino... Come on, Sakai! Don’t lose to that youngster! I don’t know who’s going to win anymore! Dad... Sakai, please make sure to fulfill your dream! It’s over! The match is decided! Kazuma! Sakai... This is... uh... Sakai? Honey, are you okay? Here we go. Are you ready to eat? Dad’s still not here. Just let him be. He’s been in a bad mood ever since the match. He just stays locked in his room. I guess he still hasn’t forgiven me. No, no! His plan was to challenge Hoshino with a crazy proposal and then lose to him on purpose. Apparently he wanted to do the "do things for your daughter without her noticing" spiel. But before he went easy on the boy, he let himself get all serious and burned himself out. You saw how it ended. It didn’t go the way he planned. It ended badly, so now he’s sulking. I guess he’s getting old. Even if he was fast, he used to make up for it with the number of times he- Hey, where are you going? Dad... Are you really sulking? Dad, that’s cute. Damn it, don’t mock your fath- It’s also cute that you’re embarrassed. Dad... Thank you. Ayumu, it’s time for the preview. Oh, he’s asleep. That’s fine, I’ll just do it for him. Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 10 A Ring, Floating... Dragonflies. There are dragonflies there! Dragonflies... I wonder what he’s dreaming about. Now there’s a Rat snake. Rat snake?! Oh, a cobra! It’s Kazuma’s King Cobra! Ayumu, run away! ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E10.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE Hello, Madoka! Hello! Are you gentlemen visiting the shrine together? Didn’t you hear? There was the first tug-of-war match in a while at the temple earlier. I’ve been at the library all morning reading to the children... Then again, I think maybe Grandfather mentioned something about that yesterday. Who was competing against whom? It’s going to be Sakai from the sake store and that kid from the big city, you know? You mean Kazuma? Yeah, that’s him! He comes to my store too sometimes. But why on earth was Kazuma competing against Mr. Sakai in a game of tug-of-war?! I don’t know. I only came to watch since he told me about it. I heard it from a Yorozuyo waitress who came to my store, so I don’t really know the details... What the hell? You guys were getting all worked up without knowing anything? Since ancient times, the temple tug-of-wars have always been about asking a girl’s hand in marriage. Wait, so... I bet the kid asked for his daughter and it threw the old man into a fit. I see. So I guess they decided the fate of his only daughter through the match. It sure takes me back. I remember when I asked for my wife’s hand. Her father was dead against it, and decided that we needed to settle it in front of the temple in a tug-of-war match. Back then, tug-of-war was sometimes referred to as "tug-of-wife". Since you were pulling both the rope... Yes, hello? Hey bro, it’s me! Daigo, what do you want? Listen man, you gotta help me! Huh? Hello! Hello, Koyori! It looks like you’re back from your trip. Did you have fun in Hawaii? I sure did! And I brought back some souvenirs. Is Madoka here? She’s here, but she’s not feeling so well... Is she sick? I wouldn’t go so far as to say she’s sick. I think she might be suffering a bit from the heat. I guess... She hasn’t been feeling well ever since the day of the tug-of-war match. Tug-of-war match? Isn’t that how they used to settle disputes in the olden times? So why did they have one? I didn’t really understand it myself. Oh well, I’m sure seeing your face will cheer her right up. Why don’t you go say hi to her? All right. I see. You’re saying she’s been listless since the tug-of-war match. Yeah. Well, I guess Kazuma’s the cause of that. What? Did he do something to her?! Huh? No, that’s not what I meant. But you see, Koyori, in the old times, tug-of-war at the temple was called tug-of-wife. You see, both the rope and the wife were... I would like to thank you all warmly for joining me at the emergency "Let’s Get All Our Piled Up Summer Homework Done Together" meeting. To enjoy the few remaining days of summer, it is of tantamount importance that we tie up the lingering threads of our home... Kazuma! Are you here?! Yes. What’s up? Kazuma! Huh? You bastard! Is it true that you’re marrying Hina?! What? Marriage? Huh? What?! Oh. So I guess you two aren’t getting married after all. Of course not! Where did you even get that idea? I didn’t even know about this event. I would’ve gone and cheered you on! Well, it was... I guess it’s pretty decent of you to put yourself on the line for Sakai’s sake. I guess I didn’t hear about it because I was in Hawaii, but as the official ears of Yamabiko, I can’t believe I had to miss an event like that! My brother looked really cool in his loin cloth. Geez, Ayumu, don’t talk about it! Then I’m going to go and report back to Madoka. Why would you tell her? Because she’s been feeling down ever since the tug-of-war happened and Grandpa Gen said it was because you and Hina were getting married. So if I tell her that’s not true, she’ll... Hold it right there! So what you’re saying is... that Madoka is... in love with Kazuma?! You really think that’s what’s going on?! You’re asking me?! Wait, did you get all worked up without understanding that part? She’s never been one for thinking things through. Well, anyway, I’ll go tell Madoka... Hey, Koyori! They’re gone. It looks like things just got a little more interesting. You can say that again. What then? You made me trek out here in this god awful heat, so this better be good. That’s right! If it’s boring, then it better be cold, sweet, and delicious! Please keep your complaints and the review of the parfait separate. Daigo, don’t forget why we’re here. You’re right. We wanted to talk to you about setting up my bro and Madoka. We’d really appreciate it if you guys assisted. I mean, Madoka is a really shy girl and even my big-city bro is pretty naive and lost around these parts, so we were thinking us friends of theirs could play a little Cupid and... This is idiotic. What? Hinata, you’re against it? I’m not for or against it, I just don’t see why I have to get involved in the first place. What do you mean, "why"? Because they’re your friends! Can’t you do this little thing for your friends? Whatever. I’m not helping you. Ibuki! Wait, Ibuki, wait!! What’s wrong? You’re not acting like yourself at all! Are you okay with this, Ui? Him and Madoka getting together? Well, I... I mean, to me, Kazu is like an older brother. So... well... Fine. If that’s how you feel, then fine. Ibuki? You want me to go out with Kazuma?! That’s right! We’ve discussed it with Daigo, and we’ve all decided to support your love! L-L-L-love?! We’ve got a really good plan, so the whole thing is smooth sailing! We’ve invited Hoshino under the pretense of going to the amusement park together. Right before, we’ll all call and say that something came up and we have to cancel. Then you’ll be free to go on a date with him. A d-d-d-date?! We wrote you very detailed instructions in here. Make sure you read it thoroughly before you go. What the hell is going on? At the last minute, suddenly neither Daigo, nor Koyori, nor Kasane can come. It’s sure strange! I wonder what’s going on... Ui and Ibuki had something planned so they didn’t bother inviting them. Ayumu has another sketching meet up with the art club. It looks like it’s just you and me, Madoka. We might as well have fun for the rest of them! Yes! Looks like it’s going pretty well. Hey... That’s good, but did I really have to come dressed like this? Of course you did! Daigo and I are wearing disguises, so you have got to wear one too. What ride do you want to go on first, Madoka? Hmm, let me think. Umm... The Dating Guidebook told me to go on the roller coaster first... I think I’d like to try the roller coaster first... That’s a surprise. I would’ve thought you wouldn’t like these kinds of rides. Oh no, I like them just fine. You’re doing great, Koumoto! First you get the mood up by going on the roller coaster and screaming wildly. That will make it easier to talk to each other. Make it stop! Make it stop! Let me off! Mommy!!!!!!! Are you okay? Madoka, are you sure you want to go in there next? Of... of course! I was raised in a shrine, so the supernatural doesn’t faze me one bit! Next is the classic for couples, the haunted mansion Nothing like acting scared and letting loose a scream to get him to put his arms around you and strengthen your bond! Madoka, I think it’s okay now. I’m... so sorry! Look Kazuma, he’s eating it! He’s eating it! The next stop is the Petting Zoo! You start by feeding the cute bunnies and as your hands accidentally brush and touch, next thing you know, you’re petting each other! I’ll try that too. This one’s a big eater! He’s just like Ui. Wow! They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Bring a big, homemade lunch and you can wrap a hungry guy right around your finger! Did you make all of this yourself? Yes. I got up early to make it. I hope you’ll like it... If Ui saw this, she’d start drooling right away! Thank you! This is delicious! Wow! It sure is high at the top! I had a lot of fun today, Madoka. Yeah, me too. We’ve got to come again, with the others next time! You’re right. Next time, we should come with the others. They’re here! Madoka doesn’t look too happy. That’s why little kids don’t get it. What was that?! What do you mean, Daigoro? Looks to me like they are enjoying that subtle and softly burning embarrassment that comes after a kiss. You’re saying that Kazuma and Madoka kissed?! I think so. So now what?! Are they going to get married? Umm... aren’t you rushing things a bit? But, but... they kissed! They’re going to have a baby! Then they have to get married quickly! What? What’s so funny? This is no laughing matter! Kazuma? Madoka?! Your clothes... I felt like wearing something different, so I borrowed this from Koyori... You don’t like it? No! That’s not it at all! I was just surprised, because you looked different... So how come you invited me to go hiking with you all alone? Well, I... That’s our bus! I’m so glad we made it! If we missed this bus, we’d really be waiting a long time. Yeah. So this is the mountain path Ayumu was talking about. It’s actually not much more than a hiking trail. Even a child could easily walk up here. I used to walk it myself all the time when I was a little girl. Wow, really? This is... Kazuma, hurry up! Okay. I’ll make us a spot here. Got it! Wait... were you that girl from way back then? I’d never really gotten along with boys so I didn’t have anyone to play with in our neighborhood, and I’d just come here by myself. One day, I was up here again and this boy came over and started to play with me. He was different somehow from all the neighborhood boys. He was so nice and wonderful. He made me think of a prince. We only played together that once, but I never could forget him. I’ve replayed that time in my mind over and over again, until it felt like we really had played together all the time. Thinking about it now, I’m wondering if it might have been love at first sight. You could’ve just told me the first time we met. You’re right. I should’ve, but the first time we met at my temple, it was so sudden, and after that, I just didn’t know what to do anymore. I guess lots of things started happening and the time was never right. I guess that was one reason, but I think I was hoping that I wouldn’t have to say anything. That you would remember it and mention it yourself. I had been thinking about you for so long that I hoped, on some small level, even if it was only a one-hundredth or a one-thousandth of all that, you’d remember me yourself. I wanted to think I had a place inside you, however small it may be. Even this outfit... I picked it because I had worn something like it that day. I was hoping you might remember if you saw it. I’m sorry. I had no idea you thought about me like this. I mean, I was a little kid when that all happened. I’m sure I had asked your name, but I’d forgotten. And then, your hair was short back then and you’ve... changed a lot since then. It’s fine. It’s enough for me that you remembered at all. Madoka, I... I know. I know how you feel. Kazuma, do you remember what you said to me that day, when we were saying our goodbyes? Madoka... Will you say it to me again? This is weird, isn’t it? It’s not like we won’t see each other again. And here I am, crying... That’s right, Madoka. We’ll always be friends. Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Episode 11 Wet From The Rain ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E11.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE It’s such a waste, I can’t believe you rejected Madoka. I can’t reject her when Madoka and I aren’t like that, how often do I have to tell you? You know, you’ve been talking about this ever since school started. Come on! We’re talking about Madoka here! And her... and her... bouncy bouncy, jiggly thi- Good morning! M-morning. Morning, Madoka! So they’ve decided to give the part of the goddess to Tsumugi in this year’s festival? Yeah! And Hina and I both got supporting roles. Oh, the handmaidens to the goddess, huh? But why didn’t you just try out for the role of the goddess? Huh? I mean, the male god is going to Hoshino, right? You could have just told him how you feel at the ceremony of calling one another. W-What are you talking about, Ibuki? I-I mean, I’ve heard that people use that ceremony to propose, but that’s an old story, and even then, it’s usually the god who proposes to the goddess... Yeah, well, there’s equality of the sexes now. Why couldn’t the goddess confess her feelings first? I guess so. What am I saying? To me, Kazu’s like... how should I say it... like an older brother. I don’t know if there’s really anything to confess and... If you keep being like that, someone will steal him from under your nose. Like who? Like Hina or Koyori or... I don’t think so. Or maybe... me. Huh? Just kidding! Oh, you were just kidding. You really had me there for a second. Hinata Was I just joking? Confessing your feelings, huh? That’s what she said, but what should I do? What if I did say something to him and he accepted the whole idea? Then, what if then, just maybe... I’m coming! Hello. Ayumu? What? You want to draw me?! You’re up late. Good morning. It’s already noon! I know it’s Sunday, but shouldn’t you get up a little earlier? I’m sorry. I was up really late last night. What’s wrong? Nothing... Is this deja vu or what? I feel like this has happened to me before. It’s not deja vu! This is when you’ve been getting up every Sunday since you got here! Hurry up and eat your breakfast, and then go for a walk or something. I can’t clean your room if you’re in the way. Y-yes. All right. I’m off. Take care! Why don’t you go for a nice, long walk. Ayumu? I guess I can take a walk... Oh well, I could go to the shrine again... Maybe not. I guess I’ll check out the shopping district today. Oh... Ibuki? Ho-Hoshino! What are you doing here? I’m not doing anything special! I just had a little free time, that’s all. Same here. Want some? No way! I don’t want to have an indirect kiss with you! Don’t you hang out with Ui when you have some free time. We usually do, but today she said she was busy. Oh. I see. And lately, whenever I’m alone with her, I feel like I can’t resist saying weird things. That’s it! Want to go to Honchou with me? You mean, just us alone? Hey, you guys all went to Honchou without me when I had my archery club meeting that one time! Yeah... So now I want my raincheck. Okay, this will be like revenge for last time. Yeah! I’m coming in. Thanks so much for coming on your day off. It’s fine! I didn’t have anything to do today anyway. I’ll get my stuff out right away. I guess I’ll get ready too then. W-W-Why are you taking your clothes off?! I’m so sorry! I thought that since I was posing for art, it would be in the nude. No! Sky. Hanging around in this town under the clear sky. Heart. The sweet memories that pile up in this heart. Oh baby, I want to burn your smile into my memory. Baby, I won’t even miss a single moment. Shining, shining star. This is the time, oh shining, shining spark, that I wish would never end. Shining, shining days under the stars. Wishing your star. Wishing my star. Please deliver my feelings. It’s my message! All that singing made me thirsty. Come in. Excuse me. Wow, so this is the famous HoneyTo! I don’t think we ordered that. Actually, today is "Couple’s Day,", so it’s on the house. Couple?! We’re also offering a chance to take a picture of the two of you drinking it together. Would you like me to take one? Ui, shall we take a little break? ’K. Yup, it’s gotta be Oyaki at this time of year. You must be tired from sitting still for so long. I’m sorry. I’m not really that tired. My shoulders are a little stiff though. Maybe I should have told you this before, but I’m actually planning to give this picture to my brother as a present. What? You’re going to give it to Kazu? Is that... not okay? I guess it’s fine. But why? When we all went to the beach that one time during summer vacation, Tsumugi told me... You shouldn’t say that, Ayumu. I think your brother doing everything he can to keep you smiling. I’m sure it would make him sad to see you looking down because of that. If you want to thank your brother for all he’s done for you, you shouldn’t think of the things he did as a debt. Instead, you should just try to make him smile for every time he made you smile. That got me wondering if there was anything I could do to make my brother smile. Then I remembered that when I was little, I used to give him pictures I had drawn and it always made him really happy. So then... "...to make my older brother smile." But... why did you pick me as a model? Because you’re going out, aren’t you? So I thought it would make him really happy if I gave him a picture of the girl he likes. Was I wrong? Kasane told me that the reason my brother couldn’t go out with Madoka is that he was already going out with you. So I thought... No! I’m not going out with him yet... Huh? I guess I should say that Kazu is more like an older brother to me. That’s not true. Tsumugi! Kazuma is Ayumu’s older brother. Not yours. Wow, you’re doing a really great job! I’m sure Kazuma will be really happy to get that once it’s done! Good luck with the rest. Thanks for helping me today. Oh and... could you keep this a secret from my brother? Yeah, sure! So, this is all hypothetical now... but say... say... Kazu and I really did start to go out, would you be okay with that? Huh? I mean, it might make you feel like I was trying to steal your brother away from you. So would you... would you... still be all right with it? Yeah, huh. I guess it might make me feel a little lonely, but if it made my brother happy, it would make me happy too. That was so much fun! I guess you got your revenge for missing out. Yeah! Oh! I was wondering what you were drinking. Melon Soda Oh, so you wanted to drink that cream soda with me, huh? Come on! Of course not! I guess to strangers, we look like a couple, huh? So uh... wanna just go out? What are you talking about? Stop joking around! Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry for being weird! It was just a joke. A joke, yeah... I guess to strangers, we look like a couple, huh? So uh... wanna just go out? Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry for being weird! Ibuki! I’m sorry! This is going to be really embarrassing if I misinterpreted you, but if you really meant it about going out, then I’m truly sorry! It was just so out of the blue that I didn’t know what to say, and that’s why I reacted like that. Don’t be an idiot. Did you really think I was being serious? So you see, you didn’t have to run all the way over here like a true idiot. Like I would ever mean something like that seriously... I’m back. Welcome back. Oh, you’re soaked! Yeah. I got a little dumped on. "...anything I could do to make my bother smile," huh? I always say that I love my brother so much, but I was never able to make him smile. Quite the contrary, I actually made my brother and his new wife Kuriko sad. Why couldn’t I say "congratulations" to them back then? My brother would’ve probably been so happy if I had properly congratulated them. Wait a minute... It might be too late now and maybe it won’t really make my brother happy anymore, but I’m going to call him! I’ll do what I couldn’t do back then: say "congratulations"! Dad Mom Brother Hinata Brother? It’s me! Oh, perfect timing. I was just about to call you. Hey, listen! I have something I want to say to you and this will probably seem out of the blue to you, but I really really wanted to tell you, so umm... so... Anyway... congratulations! Wow... How did you know? Huh? Kuriko’s going to have a baby. She just got the news from the hospital today, and I was going to call and tell you, but then you called me. Hey, Ui. Will you repeat what you just said to Kuriko? Sure! Well, you’re up early this morning! Do you have a morning club practice. No, but there’s something I’ve got to do. Oh. Well, did you eat breakfast? I’m going. Kazuma Hoshino... You’re a jackass!!! You’re a total idiot! All right! Ibuki! Ibuki!! Ui, what’s up? You’ve got to hear this! We’re having a baby! What?! Now I’m an auntie! Can you calm down? What are you talking about? I mean... I mean... my brother’s going to have a baby! I guess it’s not my brother having the baby, but his wife. That’s pretty obvious! So you’re going to be an aunt! Yeah! Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Final Episode A Starry Bridge in the Night Sky The next episode will already be the finale. Thinking back, a lot has happened, huh? It tasted like cheese, acorns hurt more than you think. The pink Nyanbobo, my brother’s king cobra attacked, it wasn’t embarrassing because it was a loin cloth, not undies... there was some suspicion about indecent homoeroticism, but we’re going out with a bang with this: Brotherly Love is Justice! No matter how you twist it! Justice! ▶ A.Bridge.to.the.Starry.Skies.S01E12.1080p.CR.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.x264-TROLLORANGE What? I’m playing the male god for the festival?! W-Why do I have to do that? What do you mean, "why?" Because the person who wins the Hikonan race is the person who plays the male god in the festival. Did nobody tell you? No. Anyway, Koyori won the race. Koyori may be a tomboy, but she’s still a girl. There’s no way she can play the role of the male god. I guess not. That’s why the role is played by the first place male, which is you. It’s a great honor to represent all the males of Yamabiko, so do your best. Right... Is it really okay for an outsider to play such an important role? What are you talking about? If anything, that makes it better. Of course the festival does celebrate the story of the Twin Peaks, but it’s also about the Heavenly Messenger. By accepting new blood from outside, the village is blessed. Which is why a boy like yourself, coming in from the outside to sow his fresh seed, perfectly fits the role of the male god of this tradition. Isn’t it a little too early for talk like this? What does she mean by "seed"? Well, uh... Ayumu, what I meant by "seed" is... Sis! Wow, lucky! You get to play the god in the festival! Is it that great? Hello! The goddess is played by Tsumugi. You know, with her boing-boing, bouncy... Do you think about anything else? So, are you going to use this chance to confess your feelings? Why do I have to confess anything?! Come on! It’s pretty much accepted now that during the Calling of the Names, the person playing the god may confess his feelings to the person playing the goddess. Really? Tsumugi’s a good example, but the role of the goddess always goes to the most beautiful girl in the village. Which is why they say they started the Hikonan Race to begin with. Guys would compete in droves to secure the right to play the god and then confess to the goddess. Back in our grandparents’ time, people did get together after having confessed at the festival. There’s also this belief that any year where the confessions leads to a couple will be a bumper year for crops. Okay, but why do I have to confess to Tsumugi? Good morning! What are you guys talking about? What’s this about Tsumugi? It’s nothing. Good morning... G-Good morning... God, my mom sure does talk a lot. What are you going to do today, bro? Wanna all go to the Back Pipe? I can’t. I’ve got archery. I can’t either. I’ve got a costume fitting for the festival at the temple today. So I guess the same goes for you, too, Ui. Yeah. Oh well. I guess I’ll just go home alone by my lonesome. If you’re lonely, I’ll keep you company. It seems like the impending festival’s made you all soft so I’ll instill some discipline into you! Me, myself, and you are going to have a parent-teacher-student talk! I sure wasn’t expecting to play the role of the male god. Yeah. I bet it was a shock. Uh... What is it? You first. Oh, it’s n-nothing. You’re not talking. When did you get here? You could’ve said something! What’s wrong? If you don’t hurry up, you’ll be late. Wow! That looks pretty good on you! You certainly look 30% more manly. Thanks. Why don’t I get a quick picture of that? Huh? I don’t mind if you take some pictures, but why are you here anyway? It’s for coverage! As the official ears of Yamabiko, I couldn’t possibly let such a juicy story go! Just so you know, I would never even think of selling Tsumugi’s goddess pictures to the high-school boys for loads of cash. I’m sorry I kept you waiting. Wow, you look so beautiful! Thank you, Kasane. Hina and Nakatsugawa, you look very maidenly as well. Thanks for waiting. The tea is ready now. I’m sorry; I’m making you work even when you’re a guest. It’s no problem at all. I bet your shoulders are stiff. You’re not used to those clothes. It wasn’t that bad. Where’s Nakatsugawa? She went to the bathroom. She said she had to go all through the fitting... She could’ve just said something. I’m going to the bathroom too. Aren’t you playing the Heavenly Messenger this year? Yes. It’s hard. I’ve got dance practice for it every day. Don’t you have a costume fitting too? Sure, but it’s not right now. I can’t wait to see you in your outfit! That reminds me! Can I take a picture of you by the front shrine? Why not? You have to get the costume fitted anyway. Then it’s settled. Huh? After we finish our tea, get changed and we’ll go to the front shrine! Ui? Tsumugi? Mind if we have a little chat here? Did you and Kazuma get into a fight? Then what’s wrong? I feel like there’s something strange between you two. It’s just... I’m sorry. You don’t have to tell me, if you don’t want to. I suddenly understood. What? Until now, I always thought of Kazu as an older brother, so it was fun being with him. It made me feel safe and warm and fuzzy inside. But... But then I realized my older brother is my older brother and Kazu isn’t really my brother and then... It was like I couldn’t really act normal around him anymore. Just looking at him makes my chest hurt. Just thinking about him when I’m home alone makes my face warm. Ui, that means you’re in love. But I’m not! I’m definitely not! Just because my heart starts beating fast when I think of him doesn’t mean I’m in l-l-love or anything like that, it’s just... It’s... it’s actually... completely different... I mean... Ui and Tsumugi are taking a while. I wonder if something’s going on? Hoshino, why don’t you tell Ui that she’s cute? What is that supposed to mean? When you looked at her before, you thought she was cute, but you didn’t say anything. Why? Why? That time when my dad came to take me home, you told him what I wanted to say, but couldn’t. I was so happy then. Though later I realized that if you want to tell someone something, you really need to tell them yourself. I wanted to apologize for that misunderstanding we had when we first met for such a long time. When I was finally able to say it, it made me feel really good. If there’s something you want to say, I think you should go and say it. Sakai... Ui, that means you’re in love. Love? I don’t know. I just don’t... I don’t know anything about love! That’s your third yawn. What’s wrong with you? I was up late last night. Are you going to be okay? You’ve got rehearsal for the festival after school today. Yeah. I’ll take a nap during lunch. I’ll be fine. Okay, now I’ll quickly go over the plan for the real event. I’ll explain the little details as we get to them, but for now, I want you all to just have an idea of the big picture. First, Madoka will become the Heavenly Messenger and do her dance at the front shrine. The male god, who has been waiting at the bottom of the stairs, will receive the scroll from the Heavenly Messenger. The male god will then descend the stone stairs and get into the cart that’s waiting for him. The goddess will change in one of the rooms in the community center, then she should stand-by with the maidens. You’ve already played the role of a maiden, so you about this part, right? Yes. We’ll notify you once the male god has left his cart and then you and the maidens can time your own exit with the cart from the front of the community center Once the carts are facing each other with the bridge between them, you’ll hear the signal from the big drum, and that starts the ceremony of calling one another. The male god then reads aloud the scroll given to him by the Heavenly Messenger and the goddess reads the oath given to her by the shrine parishioner. Isn’t it true that the scroll is written anew by the person playing the Heavenly Messenger? Yes. It’s written with ink that was prepared with the morning dew of that day. So I guess you know how to write all those curly characters! Uh... I have a question. Yes, Kazuma? By curly characters, she means cursive script, right? I can’t read things like that at all... Don’t worry. Both the scroll and oath will have the pronunciations written next to the characters. Oh, that’s fine then. No worries then? Yeah, I just have to read what’s there. Just because you’re reading don’t take this task lightly. Even if you’re just reading it, you have to put your whole soul into it, when you face the goddess, then the words will become the truth. You have to put your whole soul into it. Then the words will become the truth. Then here I go shake shake. Turn once... and then... Hello? Hello? Tsumugi? Huh? Feigning illness? They said that it’s almost time, so you guys should go to the dressing room and change. All right. Okay. Then let’s go! Tsumugi, what’s wrong? I suddenly have this terrible pain in my stomach. We need to call a doctor! Or better yet, an ambulance!! It’s not that bad, Ui. I think it’ll go away if I go lay down a bit. But... But the role of the goddess for the festival... You can’t do anything in this state! I think you should ask someone to play the role for you. Ui, would you do it for me? Huh? I can’t just step in and play the goddess! You’ve been rehearsing with me all along. I’m sure you know exactly what to do. Just do it like we practiced. Please... But then we’ll be short one maiden. That shouldn’t be a problem. We’ve got someone to play a maiden right here. Huh? You don’t mean me?! But I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t! Kasane, you’ve been covering our rehearsals in your reports all along. I’m sure you’ve got it all down. I guess so, but... This is an emergency. Will you do it, or would you do it? You’ve got two choices, so pick one. It would be an honor to do it! Snap out of it! Even if you’re just reading it, you have to put your whole soul into it, when you face the goddess. Then the words will become the truth. If there’s something you want to say, then you should go and say it. I love Ui. I’m not saying it was always like that, but I started to notice that whenever we were together, it was, how should I say it? I mean... Anyway... I love you! Ui! Your answer? We can’t hear you! Say it louder! I love him too... Louder, Ui! I love you too! I love you, I love you, I love you so much!!! I guess we got rejected. I guess so. What am I saying, I never got rejected... I mean... I guess it’s fine. Wow! You can really see it tonight: A starry bridge in the night sky. Yeah. So beautiful! You’re right. You really are.
