**[00:15] kaz**
What's wrong?
**[00:16] Girl**
We...
**[00:17] Girl**
we just became friends...
**[00:21] Girl**
and you're already leaving.
**[00:22] kaz**
Don't cry.
**[00:25] kaz**
We'll always be friends.
**[00:28] Girl**
We'll always...
**[00:30] Girl**
be friends.
**[00:32] kaz**
Uh-huh.
**[00:34] girl**
Okay!
**[00:44] ayu**
You're up, brother.
**[00:46] kaz**
Uh... yeah.
**[00:50] ayu**
Wow!
**[00:52] kaz**
What? Did you see something, Ayumu?
**[01:00] kaz**
Wow...
**[02:45] titl**
Episode 1
**[02:45] titl**
If That Was A Bear, It'd All Be Over
**[02:52] kaz**
Want me to take that?
**[02:53] ayu**
I'm fine. It's not that heavy.
**[03:05] kaz**
We finally made it!
**[03:07] ayu**
This looks like a quiet place.
**[03:09] kaz**
Well, it is the countryside.
**[03:13] kaz**
The air's good here.
**[03:15] kaz**
I bet it will do you good, Ayumu.
**[03:18] ayu**
Yeah!
**[03:19] kaz**
Let's see...
**[03:20] kaz**
It says it's one bus ride
away from Yamabiko Station.
**[03:30] kaz**
Let's catch that bus!
**[03:32] ayu**
Okay.
**[03:45] Kaz**
We're lucky the bus just came.
**[03:47] ayu**
Yeah.
**[03:48] ayu**
Hey... haven't you been
to Yamabiko before?
**[03:53] Kaz**
Yeah. Dad brought me here once.
**[03:56] ayu**
We'll be staying at the Yorozuyo Inn,
**[03:58] ---**
the same place you stayed in right?
**[04:01] Kaz**
Yep!
**[04:02] ayu**
So, what's it like there?
**[04:04] Kaz**
Huh?
**[04:05] Kaz**
Well... I only spent the
night there that one time,
**[04:08] ---**
so I don't really remember.
**[04:10] Kaz**
But I remember...
**[04:13] Kaz**
It was this old building
**[04:15] ---**
with a beautiful river
flowing in front of it.
**[04:18] Kaz**
I remember, the garden
was really green.
**[04:21] Kaz**
I'd never been there before,
but the place felt really familiar.
**[04:27] Kaz**
I guess Dad used to know the old owner
**[04:30] ---**
and that's why they took us in.
**[04:33] ayu**
I see.
**[04:53] ayu**
Oh no!
**[04:54] Kaz**
What's wrong?
**[04:55] ayu**
I think this bus is
going the opposite way!
**[05:00] ayu**
I mean, look, you have to go towards
**[05:01] ---**
Yamabiko to get to "By Yorozuyo"...
**[05:20] ayu**
The next bus comes...
**[05:22] Kaz**
In an hour?!
**[05:26] Kaz**
Freakin' countryside!
**[05:36] ayu**
It's not coming.
**[05:38] Kaz**
Well, with this schedule
it'll be a while.
**[05:41] ayu**
Hey, look over there!
**[05:44] Kaz**
What's up, Ayumu?
**[05:45] ayu**
Over there!
**[05:46] ayu**
It's a monkey!
**[05:48] Kaz**
Really?
**[05:53] ayu**
Come here!
**[05:57] ayu**
Look, it's coming over here!
**[05:58] ayu**
The monkey's coming over here!
**[06:00] Kaz**
He sure is.
**[06:00] ayu**
Wait a sec...
**[06:02] ---**
I think I've got a snack left in here...
**[06:11] Kaz**
Hey!
**[06:12] Kaz**
Stop right there!
**[06:17] ---**
Brother!
**[06:42] Kaz**
Stupid monkey!
**[06:45] Kaz**
This doesn't look too deep.
**[06:59] Kaz**
Don't mock me, monkey!
**[07:15] Kaz**
Damn it!
**[07:16] Kaz**
Stop running already!
**[07:39] Kaz**
Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch....
**[07:44] Kaz**
Damn, that was a big hassle.
**[07:46] Kaz**
Oww, that hurts.
**[07:52] ayu**
He's sure taking a long time.
**[08:03] Kaz**
I'm lost.
**[08:08] Kaz**
But it's not like this
place has bears... right?
**[08:31] Kaz**
You're a girl?
**[08:33] ui**
Yeah... I am.
**[08:38] ui**
So that's how you got lost, huh?
**[08:42] Kaz**
Pretty embarrassing...
**[08:43] Kaz**
But what are you doing out here?
**[08:45] ui**
Just gathering some
mountain vegetables!
**[08:47] ui**
They're for tempura, steaming,
or seasoned with vinegared miso...
**[08:51] ui**
You can put them in miso soup too.
**[08:53] ui**
It's also really yummy if you
mix it with rice and red beans.
**[08:56] Kaz**
O-Oh really?
**[08:58] ui**
If you cross here and
keep going straight,
**[09:00] ---**
you'll come to a fork in the road.
**[09:03] ui**
Go down that hill and you'll be
back at the bus stop.
**[09:07] Kaz**
I'm sorry you had to bring
me all the way over here.
**[09:09] Kaz**
Thanks a lot!
**[09:10] ui**
Oh, you don't have to thank me!
**[09:12] ui**
I help someone whenever I can!
**[09:15] ui**
And if you had kept
wandering around there
**[09:17] ---**
and ran into a bear, it would have been bad.
**[09:21] kaz**
So you *do* get bears here...
**[09:24] ui**
I'll show you how to do it.
**[09:27] ui**
Watch closely now!
**[09:35] ui**
So, were you watching closely?
**[09:38] Kaz**
I wasn't... I wasn't watching at all!
**[09:40] Kaz**
I mean, I watched,
but I wasn't looking!
**[09:47] Kaz**
So, here I go!
**[10:32] Kaz**
No, no, this was just a bad accident!
**[10:34] ibu**
You *pervert!*
**[10:43] Kaz**
What the hell is wrong with you?
**[10:44] ibu**
Exactly what I wanted to ask *you!*
**[10:46] ibu**
You drag a girl into a
forsaken place like this,
**[10:49] ---**
push her to the ground,
and ki-ki-kiss her!!
**[10:55] Kaz**
Like I told you, it was an accident!
**[10:57] ibu**
If this would pass as an accident,
we wouldn't need the police!
**[11:02] ibu**
They will be notified of this;
I hope you're ready for that!
**[11:06] ui**
Ibuki, wait!
**[11:08] ui**
He's telling the truth.
**[11:10] ui**
What just happened really
was an accident! Really!
**[11:13] Ibu**
Ui...
**[11:16] Ibu**
Just keep walking straight and
you'll get to the bus stop.
**[11:20] Kaz**
Got it.
**[11:22] Kaz**
Well then-
**[11:23] Ibu**
Just hurry up and go already!
**[11:25] Ibu**
You pervert!
**[11:46] ayu**
You're back!
**[11:54] ayu**
What's wrong? What happened to you?
**[11:57] Kaz**
It's... a long story.
**[12:19] Rock**
Yorozuyo
**[12:22] ayu**
So this is Yorozuyo?
**[12:26] ayu**
That building doesn't look that old.
**[12:30] Kaz**
Well, it's been a long
time since I was here.
**[12:34] Kaz**
They've probably rebuilt since then.
**[12:44] sen**
Welcome to Yorozuyo.
**[12:45] Kaz**
Umm... We're Hoshino-
**[12:47] sen**
...is that you, Kazuma?!
**[12:49] sen**
Mr. Hoshino's son?
**[12:51] Kazu**
Uh... yeah.
**[12:54] sen**
I was worried because you took so long!
**[12:57] sen**
You should've just called when
you got into the station.
**[13:00] sen**
I would've sent a car to pick you up!
**[13:02] sen**
And you must be the
little brother, Ayumu.
**[13:05] sen**
Yes, you are a bit skinny,
but it's quite different here.
**[13:10] sen**
The air is fresh, and the
food and water are delicious,
**[13:13] ---**
so you'll be well again in no time!
**[13:15] Kazu**
Umm...
**[13:16] sen**
My, what happened to you?!
**[13:19] sen**
You need a bath!
**[13:20] sen**
But first, why don't
I show you your room?
**[13:23] sen**
Please follow me!
**[13:35] sen**
You two will be sleeping
in the older wing.
**[13:38] sen**
We don't use this for guests anymore,
**[13:41] ---**
so please, make yourselves at home.
**[13:43] sen**
Unfortunately, the bath is in the newer wing.
**[13:46] Kazu**
So, Auntie...
**[13:49] sen**
Are you talking to me?!
**[13:53] Kazu**
No, I mean... umm...
**[13:57] Kazu**
Young.... miss?
**[14:01] sen**
That's not necessary, but please call me Miss?
**[14:09] sen**
Is something wrong?
**[14:10] ayu**
Nothing at all!
**[14:11] Kazu**
We will call you "Sis"!
**[14:14] ---**
Calling me your sis?
**[14:15] sen**
Okay, then. So what did you want to ask?
**[14:20] Kazu**
This is a little late but...
are you the owner?
**[14:23] sen**
Oh my! I haven't even
introduced myself yet.
**[14:29] sen**
I'm Senka Yorozu,
the owner of Yorozuyo.
**[14:33] sen**
Starting today, I'll take over for Mr. Hoshino
**[14:35] ---**
and be your guardian.
**[14:38] sen**
Pleased to meet you!
**[14:41] sen**
Here's the old wing.
**[14:42] sen**
This used to be the entrance,
**[14:45] ---**
but ever since we added
the new wing three years ago,
**[14:47] sen**
it's become sort of a back door.
**[15:04] ayu**
This place sure looks nice.
**[15:08] Kazu**
Yup.
**[15:15] Sen**
This is your room, Kazuma.
**[15:20] Kazu**
It's pretty neat how the
ceiling is done here.
**[15:25] Sen**
And your room is that one
just across the hall.
**[15:29] Sen**
We have more rooms,
**[15:31] ---**
but I thought you might
like one close by.
**[15:32] ayu**
Thank you.
**[15:37] Sen**
As the owner of this inn,
**[15:39] ---**
usually I'd invite you for a cup of tea,
**[15:42] Sen**
but I think Kazuma should
take a bath first.
***SIGN*** Ladies
***SIGN*** Gentlemen
**[15:48] Kazu**
It's pretty sweet that I'll be able
**[15:50] ---**
to get into a big bath every day.
**[16:05] Kazu**
Excuse me!!!!
**[16:17] Sen**
What is going on here?
**[16:21] Sen**
Oh... pink.
**[16:30] Kazu**
I can't ever get married now...
**[16:33] ayu**
I'm coming in.
**[16:37] Kazu**
What's up, Ayumu?
**[16:39] ayu**
Sis says it's time for dinner.
**[16:43] Sen**
We have quite a fancy meal set up
**[16:46] ---**
as part of your welcoming party.
**[16:50] Sen**
For the main course,
we'll be serving you
**[16:51] ---**
mountain vegetables on a maiden's
nude body along with sake from thigh cups.
**[16:53] Kazu**
Sis, isn't that a little...
**[16:55] Sen**
Oh, excuse me. You're not
old enough to drink sake.
**[16:59] Kazu**
That's not what I meant!
**[17:01] Sen**
And here we are!
**[17:04] Kazu**
Don't look, Ayumu!
**[17:05] Kazu**
I forbid you to look!
**[17:06] ayu**
Why not?
**[17:12] Sen**
I can't believe you
believed that, Kazuma.
**[17:15] Sen**
Or maybe you were
hoping it was true?
**[17:18] Kazu**
Sis...
**[17:26] Kazu**
A lot happened today:
**[17:28] Kazu**
I fell out of a tree.
**[17:30] Kazu**
I got kicked in the face.
**[17:31] Kazu**
I saw... things.
**[17:32] Kazu**
I got... seen.
**[17:34] Kazu**
And... got seen.
**[17:37] Kazu**
And also...
**[17:41] Kazu**
I should've asked her her name.
**[17:45] ayu**
Are you still up?
**[17:49] Kazu**
That you Ayumu? What's up?
**[17:53] Kazu**
What's with the pillow?
**[17:55] Kazu**
Oh, I get it.
**[17:56] Kazu**
You can't sleep in this new place,
**[17:59] ---**
so you want to sleep here with me.
**[18:05] Kazu**
Oh, that's really it?
**[18:08] ayu**
So I... can't?
**[18:10] Kazu**
All right, but just tonight, okay?
**[18:15] ayu**
Okay!
**[18:17] Kazu**
Okay, I'm turning off the lights.
**[18:22] ayu**
Goodnight.
**[18:24] Kazu**
Goodnight.
**[18:32] ayu**
Thank you for the meal.
**[18:34] Sen**
You're already done?
**[18:35] ayu**
Yes, thank you. I'm full.
**[18:37] Sen**
I see.
**[18:38] Gi**
Good morning!
**[18:40] Sen**
It looks like your guide is here.
**[18:42] Kazu**
Our... guide?
**[18:44] Sen**
Since you don't know
where your school is,
**[18:46] ---**
I asked someone to go with you.
**[18:51] Sen**
This is Tsumugi Toudou.
**[18:53] Sen**
She's a senior at
Yamabiko South High.
**[18:56] Sen**
So a year older than you, Kazuma.
**[18:59] Sen**
Tsumugi is an apprentice
waitress here at the inn.
**[19:03] Sen**
Kazuma, you already met
her yesterday, right?
**[19:05] Kazu**
Huh?
**[19:09] Kazu**
You mean you're that girl from...
**[19:10] Kazu**
I sincerely apologize
for my misconduct!
**[19:14] Tsu**
Don't worry about it.
**[19:15] Tsu**
I didn't really see
anything clearly anyway.
**[19:18] Sen**
Not surprising, with that size.
**[19:23] Kazu**
Just kill me!
**[19:33] Tsu**
So you came here for Ayumu?
**[19:37] Kazu**
Ayumu's a little sickly,
**[19:40] ---**
so my dad thought it
would be good for him
**[19:42] Kazu**
to live in a place like
this, with good clean air.
**[19:45] Tsu**
Your father's a writer, isn't he?
**[19:48] Kazu**
Yeah. Actually, he and my mom
want to buy a house here,
**[19:51] Kazu**
but with their work and whatnot,
it hasn't worked out yet.
**[19:57] Kazu**
But since we have to go to school,
**[19:59] ---**
they thought it would
be better if the two of us
**[20:00] Kazu**
came ahead and got
used to things first.
**[20:02] Kazu**
So that's why the two
of us are here now.
**[20:06] Tsu**
I see.
**[20:12] Tsu**
Ayumu, your junior high is over
there, just across this bridge.
**[20:16] Tsu**
And if you follow this road,
**[20:18] ---**
you get to our school,
Yamabiko South High.
**[20:21] Tsu**
Ayumu, since there's only one way,
**[20:24] ---**
you won't get lost if you
just follow the other kids
**[20:26] Tsu**
in school uniforms.
**[20:27] ayu**
Okay. I'll be fine by myself.
**[20:29] ayu**
All right. I'm going then.
**[20:32] Kazu**
Take care.
**[20:46] Tsu**
Uh... we should get going.
**[20:49] Kazu**
Y-You're right!

Ui!

Ui, I'm talking to you!
**[21:21] Ru**
What?
**[21:22] I**
What's wrong?
**[21:23] I**
You're even more
spacey than normal.
**[21:28] I**
Are you still stuck on
what happened yesterday?
**[21:36] Ru**
No!
**[21:37] Ru**
I haven't been thinking
about that at all!
**[21:41] I**
Well, I'm glad to hear that!
**[21:49] Teayu**
All right, everyone. Settle down.
**[21:51] Teayu**
As some of you probably know,
**[21:53] ---**
we have a new student starting today.
**[21:57] Teayu**
Come in, Hoshino.
**[22:06] Kazu**
You're that...!
**[22:08] Kazu**
Then, does that mean...?
**[23:55] sen**
Did you enjoy the first episode
of A Bridge to the Starry Skies,
**[23:58] sen**
the anime about brotherly
love of the new century?
**[24:02] kaz**
Sis, why are you putting
such a weird spin on it?
**[24:04] sen**
It's not weird.
**[24:05] ---**
Brotherly love is justice!
**[24:07] ---**
Justice not in the flirtatious sense.
**[24:10] sen**
Now Ayumu, in the name of
justice, present the preview!
**[24:13] ayu**
Next week on A Bridge to the
Starry Skies: Episode 2

**[00:09] Boy**
You look like you're really
enjoying that, Ui.
**[00:13] Ui**
I love cake!
**[00:15] Ui**
And I love my brother too!
**[00:20] Boy**
Thank you.
**[00:22] Boy**
Oh, you've got some cream by your lip.

It Shouldn't Taste Like Cheese
**[02:26] Tea**
Come in, Hoshino.
**[02:32] kaz**
You're that girl from the other day!
**[02:34] ibu**
What are you doing in our school?
**[02:38] kaz**
What do you mean,
"what am I doing here?"
**[02:39] kaz**
I transferred to this school.
**[02:41] ibu**
That doesn't mean we have
to be in the same class!
**[02:44] Tea**
Hinata, what are you talking about?
**[02:46] Tea**
Our school only has
one class for each year.
**[02:49] Tea**
There is no other class for juniors.
**[02:53] hin**
That's true, but...
**[02:55] Tea**
I'm surprised that you
two know each other.
**[02:59] hin**
I don't know him.
**[03:00] Tea**
Then what?
**[03:02] hin**
Well... umm.
**[03:04] Tea**
It doesn't matter.
**[03:06] Tea**
Why don't you introduce yourself?
**[03:09] kaz**
Yes, ma'am.
**[03:15] kaz**
My name is Kazuma Hoshino.
**[03:17] kaz**
I'm here because my parents
will be moving here soon.
**[03:20] kaz**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:22] Tea**
Good.
**[03:23] Tea**
And you'll sit right next to...
**[03:26] Boy**
Now wait one second, Mom!
**[03:28] Boy**
Aren't we going to grill him
for fun and embarrassment, Mom?
**[03:32] Tea**
I am *not* your mother!
**[03:33] Tea**
We are in school and you
will call me "Teacher".
**[03:35] Boy**
C'mon! I am your offspring, after all!
**[03:38] Tea**
That may be,
**[03:40] ---**
but remember that there is a
time and place for everything,
**[03:41] Tea**
idiot son.
**[03:43] Boy**
See, what's the big deal?
**[03:44] Boy**
You just called me your son.
**[03:46] Tea**
Don't you *dare* talk back to me!
**[03:49] Boy**
I can see it!
**[03:57] Tea**
You can sit over there, Hoshino.
**[04:00] Boy**
Where am I supposed to sit?!
**[04:03] Tea**
Don't you worry about that.
**[04:04] Tea**
I've got just the place.

**[04:09] Ui**
Hi, Kazu.
**[04:13] Ui**
Oh... I was thinking I could call you
"Kazu", since your name is "Kazuma",
**[04:15] Ui**
but maybe I shouldn't have done that.
**[04:17] kaz**
That's fine, I guess,
**[04:18] kaz**
but who are you?
**[04:21] Ui**
Oh, excuse me!
**[04:23] Ui**
My name is Ui Nakatsugawa.
**[04:26] Ui**
You can call me Ui.
**[04:29] Ibu**
I'm Ibuki.
**[04:33] Ibu**
Ibuki Hinata.
**[04:35] Ibu**
Nice. To. Meet. You.
**[04:38] kaz**
Uh...
**[04:39] Tea**
Hinata?
**[04:40] Tea**
As the Class Rep,
**[04:42] ---**
it will be your responsibility
to show the new student around.
**[04:44] hin**
Okay.
**[04:45] hin**
Will do.
**[04:48] Boy**
And now, what you've all
been waiting for: time for questions!
**[04:54] Boy1**
What are your hobbies?
**[04:54] Girl**
What are your favorite foods?
**[04:55] Boy2**
What is your height? Weight?
Zodiac? Blood type?
**[04:58] Girl2**
Are you experienced, or not yet?
**[05:00] kaz**
I can't answer all these
questions at once.
**[05:02] Girl3**
So, what is Ibuki to you, exactly?
**[05:04] Girl3**
You know each other, right?
**[05:05] hin**
I don't know him at all.
**[05:07] hin**
I don't associate with
perverts like him.
**[05:09] kaz**
Pervert?
**[05:10] hin**
What else would you be?
**[05:13] hin**
You lured an innocent girl deep into
the mountains, just so you could ki-
**[05:16] hin**
I mean... So you could push her over!
**[05:19] All**
What?!
**[05:21] Ui**
Ibuki, I keep telling you,
that was a misunderstanding!
**[05:25] Girl**
Wait a minute...
so he pushed *you* over?
**[05:30] Boy**
That could only happen to a
space cadet like Ui Nakatsugawa!
**[05:33] Boy**
The fact that her guard
**[05:34] ---**
is permanently down is exactly
why they call her "Ayaui".
***SIGN*** Ayaui means *dangerous* or *close-call
**[05:39] kaz**
Hey!
**[05:40] kaz**
Can you not say deceptive stuff about me?
**[05:42] hin**
What do you mean by "deceptive"?
**[05:43] kaz**
I mean that was an accident!
**[05:46] hin**
An accident, was it?
**[05:48] kaz**
I already explained it to you
yesterday, but you just don't get it!
**[05:51] hin**
Because there's nothing to get!
**[05:52] hin**
I don't want to get anything about you!

**[06:07] Ui**
Kazu, if you don't have a
textbook you can share with-
**[06:12] Ibu**
If it's a textbook you need,
you can look at mine.
**[06:16] Ibu**
It's too dangerous for you two
to have any further contact.
**[06:22] Boy**
Chow time!
**[06:24] Girl**
I'm so hungry!
**[06:26] kaz**
You're Kokubaru Minami, right?
**[06:29] Dai**
You can just call me Daigo.
**[06:32] kaz**
All right, Daigo.
**[06:34] kaz**
I was wondering if
you could tell me
**[06:35] ---**
where I could buy a
sandwich for lunch.
**[06:37] Dai**
I was gonna have
a sandwich too,
**[06:39] ---**
so we can go buy
them together, Bro.
**[06:42] kaz**
Uh, Bro?
**[06:44] Dai**
You've just transferred here,
but you've already managed
**[06:48] Dai**
to push a girl over
in the mountains.
**[06:50] Dai**
That commands some respect,
man, so if you don't mind,
**[06:52] Dai**
I'd like to call you my bro!
**[07:07] Ibu**
Ui, if you can't wait,
just eat already.
**[07:11] Ui**
But...
**[07:14] Ui**
Kazu! Daigo! Come on, hurry, hurry!
**[07:19] Dai**
I can't believe the gluttony-demon
Ui actually waited to eat with us.
**[07:27] kaz**
That's huge!
**[07:29] Ui**
Today, it's rice with
mountain vegetables!
**[07:32] kaz**
You're not eating
this all alone, right?
**[07:36] Ui**
Of course I'm not eating this alone!
**[07:37] Ui**
I've got the side dishes right here!
**[07:39] Ui**
Then for dessert, I've got
some muffins my mom baked me.
**[07:43] Ibu**
That's Ui for you.
**[07:55] kaz**
Hey...
**[07:56] Ui**
Yeah?
**[07:57] kaz**
Are those the vegetables you
were picking yesterday?
**[08:02] Ui**
That's right!
**[08:03] Ibu**
Hey, can you please not
talk with your mouth full?
**[08:08] Ui**
Which reminds me.
**[08:10] Ui**
What were you doing out
there yesterday, Ibuki?
**[08:14] Ibu**
I wasn't doing anything!
**[08:16] Ibu**
I was taking a walk, okay?
A walk.
**[08:17] Ui**
Oh, I bet you went out
to the viewing platform.
**[08:21] kaz**
There is one?
**[08:22] Ui**
Yeah, if you keep going up that
mountain, you get to a look-out.
**[08:27] Ui**
It's been one of Ibuki and my favorite
hangouts since we were little kids.
**[08:30] Ui**
The view's really great,
**[08:32] Ui**
and if you ever feel bad,
all that will fly away
**[08:35] Ui**
if you scream "idiot" from up there.
**[08:38] Ibu**
Well, for you nothing
needs to be wrong,
**[08:40] ---**
you still yell "yahoo" every time.
**[08:44] Ui**
Hearing a "yahoo" back when you
**[08:47] ---**
yell "yahoo" first just cheers me up.
**[08:53] Ibu**
I guess so.
**[08:57] kaz**
You want to show me around town?
**[08:59] Girl**
Sure!
**[08:59] Girl**
You just moved here, right?
**[09:02] Girl**
So you probably don't know
Yamabiko very well at all.
**[09:04] Girl**
So I was thinking I'd show you around
**[09:06] ---**
if you're interested at all.
**[09:08] kaz**
That would be really helpful.
**[09:10] Ibu**
Then I'm going too.
**[09:12] Ibu**
Who knows what you would do
if I left you alone with Ui.
**[09:17] Dai**
Of course I'm going too!
**[09:19] Ui**
Great! Then we can all go!
**[09:22] kaz**
Okay.
**[09:23] kaz**
Do you mind if I bring
my little brother too?
**[09:25] Dai**
Of course not!
**[09:26] Dai**
My bro's bro is my bro, Bro.
**[09:30] Ui**
You have a younger brother?
**[09:33] kaz**
Yeah.
**[09:34] ---**
He moved here with me and
just started over at the Junior High.
**[09:39] kaz**
Hey, Ayumu?
**[09:42] Dai**
I wonder what his little brother's like.
**[09:43] kaz**
What are you doing right now?
**[09:44] Ibu**
Probably a pervert, just like him.
**[09:51] kaz**
Then can you wait at the
fork by the bridge?
**[09:54] kaz**
Later.
**[10:02] kaz**
Tsumugi...
***SIGN*** A Bridge To the Starry Skies

**[10:12] kaz**
You mean you were waiting for me?
**[10:15] Tsu**
Yes.
**[10:16] Tsu**
I figured since you're not
familiar with this area,
**[10:19] Tsu**
you might not remember
how to get back home.
**[10:22] kaz**
Thank you for taking the trouble...
**[10:24] Dai**
Wow, you're lucky when
every guy's favorite girl,
**[10:27] Dai**
Tsumugi, is paying this
much attention to you!
**[10:30] Ibu**
Not that he deserves it!
**[10:33] kaz**
What about Ayumu?
**[10:37] kaz**
I guess he'll be fine if we
meet him at the bridge...
**[10:41] Tsu**
You always put your little
brother first, don't you?
**[10:46] Tsu**
But don't worry,
**[10:48] ---**
I already took care of that.
**[10:53] kaz**
Mugi!
**[10:58] Tsu**
Thank you for bringing Ayumu over.
**[11:02] kaz**
Who's this, Tsumugi?
**[11:04] Tsu**
This is my youngest sister, Kasane.
**[11:07] Tsu**
She's in the same class as Ayumu,
so I asked her to look after him.
**[11:12] Dai**
So then...
**[11:14] Ui**
...this is your younger *brother*, Kazu?
**[11:19] Ayu**
It's nice to meet you.
**[11:21] Ayu**
My name is Ayumu Hoshino.
**[11:24] Dai**
He's so...
**[11:25] Dai**
Cute!
**[11:27] ayu**
So your name is Ayumu?
**[11:30] Ayu**
That's right.
**[11:31] Ui**
But you don't look at all like Kaz...
**[11:33] Ibu**
Ui!
**[11:34] Dai**
She's right!
**[11:36] Dai**
It doesn't matter how space cadety you
are, you still have to be careful!
**[11:39] Ui**
Huh? Huh? What do you mean?
**[11:42] Ibu**
Don't you think it's strange how
incredibly cute his little brother is?
**[11:47] Dai**
Yeah! It means they probably have
some complicated family situation...
**[11:50] kaz**
You guys don't have to "be careful"!
**[11:53] kaz**
We're not half-brothers
or anything like that;
**[11:55] ---**
he's my full-blood brother!
**[11:56] Ibu**
Liar!
**[11:57] ---**
There's no way you could have
a little brother that cute!
**[12:00] ---**
Why you...
**[12:02] Dai**
If you really are brothers,
**[12:04] ---**
it looks like God played a
genetic trick on you two.
**[12:08] kaz**
You guys...
**[12:21] Tsu**
See, I knew you were a nice person.
**[12:24] kaz**
Huh?
**[12:25] Tsu**
I noticed it when we walked
to school this morning.
**[12:29] Tsu**
When you walk with your brother,
**[12:33] Tsu**
you deliberately make
your stride shorter.
**[12:36] ---**
You're matching your stride to his.
**[12:39] Ayu**
Really? You do that?
**[12:41] Ayu**
Sorry, I never noticed before.
**[12:44] kaz**
Hey, don't worry about it.
**[12:47] kaz**
I choose to do it myself,
so you don't have to...
**[12:51] kaz**
More importantly, Ui,
**[12:53] kaz**
you said you'd show me the town,
**[12:55] ---**
so... where are you taking us?
**[12:57] Ui**
Let's see... I guess we'll start here.
**[13:02] kaz**
The convenience store.
**[13:03] Dai**
It's on the way to school, so a lot of Hikonan...
**[13:07] Ayu**
Hikonan?
**[13:09] kaz**
It's an abbreviation for Yamabiko South High.
**[13:12] kaz**
Our junior high school
is part of it too.
**[13:15] Ibu**
This convenience store is open
**[13:18] ---**
from seven in the morning
until eleven at night!
**[13:22] Ui**
Isn't it wonderful? You can buy
candy even when it's dark!
**[13:25] Dai**
It wasn't always like that...
**[13:28] kaz**
I see.
**[13:29] Ayu**
So when did they close *before?*
**[13:33] Dai**
What do you want to do?
**[13:34] Dai**
Wanna go in and buy something?
**[13:35] Ui**
No! If you want to get a
snack, let's go to Yahho!
**[13:39] kaz**
Huh? Yahho?
**[13:43] kaz**
The... Yahho... Store?
**[13:46] Tsu**
The store's name should
actually be read as *Yakata,*
**[13:48] Tsu**
but we've been calling it *Yahho*
ever since we were little kids.
**[14:02] kaz**
So what did you all get?
**[14:07] ui**
Let's see.
**[14:10] ui**
First off, we've got a cheese-
flavored Yummy Stick.
**[14:12] ui**
Then another cheese-
flavored Yummy Stick.
**[14:16] ui**
Then another cheese-
flavored Yummy Stick.
**[14:18] ui**
Cheesy Stick.
**[14:20] ui**
Cheesy Stick.
**[14:21] ui**
Cheesy Stick.
**[14:22] kaz**
You only got cheese flavor?
**[14:23] Ui**
But that's my favorite!
**[14:26] kaz**
I see.
**[14:27] kaz**
So that's why it tasted like cheese.
**[14:34] Ui**
No, it's not like that!
**[14:37] Ui**
It shouldn't taste... like... cheese.
**[14:42] kaz**
Huh?
**[14:43] kaz**
Oh, when you gave me one
of your muffins at lunch,
**[14:46] kaz**
I tasted something strange,
**[14:49] ---**
so I thought there
was some cheese in it.
**[14:52] Ui**
Oh, you mean- oh!
**[14:54] Ui**
Yeah, there was some cream
cheese in the batter, yes...
**[15:07] Tsu**
This is the Cedar Ball.
**[15:09] ---**
It's made from cedar needles
and they hang it under the eaves
**[15:12] Tsu**
to show that they
have new sake in stock.
**[15:15] Ayu**
You know so much...
**[15:18] Tsu**
Just what I've been
told, here and there.
**[15:21] Tsu**
I'm friends with the daughter of
the family who runs this store,
**[15:24] ---**
and she told me.
**[15:26] Tsu**
This is where Yorozuyo
gets their sake, too.
**[15:31] sign**
Ramen
**[15:32] sign**
Skewers
**[15:34] Tsu**
There are more stores here.
**[15:36] kaz**
So would this be the shopping district?
**[15:39] Kase**
That's right!
**[15:40] Kase**
The flower store right here is run
by a lady who just got married.
**[15:42] Kase**
She's very excited about that.
**[15:44] Kase**
Over there, that bike store's
owner just had a new baby.
**[15:47] Kase**
That soba shop over there is currently
closed because the husband
**[15:50] Kase**
hurt himself playing amateur baseball.
**[15:52] Kase**
Then, see that ramen
shop on the corner?
**[15:54] Kase**
Its owner is known for
being really bull-headed.
**[15:57] Ui**
I really recommend the ramen though.
**[16:02] kaz**
Then we should go eat there next time.
**[16:04] Ui**
Yeah!
**[16:05] Kase**
At the lunch place over there,
their only son is taking
**[16:07] Kase**
his college placement exams right now.
**[16:09] Kase**
The book store owners' cat
just had five kittens and
**[16:11] ---**
they're trying to find them homes,
**[16:13] Kase**
and the owners of the grocery store
are in a big fight right now!
**[16:16] Ayu**
You really know a lot about everyone.
**[16:19] Kase**
Well, I'm not called the News
Hound of Yamabiko for nothing.
**[16:25] Tsu**
You always did like your gossip.
**[16:30] Ibu**
Where are we going now?
**[16:32] Ibu**
Let's go to the Twin Peaks!
**[16:33] Dai**
You want to go mountain climbing now?!
**[16:35] Ui**
But I wanted to show Kazu the look-out!
**[16:39] kaz**
The look-out, huh...
**[16:41] kaz**
Wait... so the Twin Peaks is
where I got lost yesterday?
**[16:45] Ibu**
The spot where you were prowling around
**[16:47] Ibu**
is at the very
foot of the mountain.
**[16:49] Ui**
The Twin Peaks are like this,
**[16:52] ---**
and since they look like two
mountains stuck together
**[16:54] Ui**
they're called the Twin Peaks.
**[16:56] Tsu**
There's an old legend associated
with that mountain.
**[16:59] Tsu**
Long, long ago, a heavenly couple
lived on top of that mountain.
**[17:04] Tsu**
They were so infatuated with each
other though that they paid
**[17:06] Tsu**
no more attention to their daily
work and the god of the heavens
**[17:09] Tsu**
became so angry, they say he split
the mountain's top in half.
**[17:14] Tsu**
They were separated forever.
**[17:16] Ui**
That's a lot like the
story of Tanabata.
**[17:19] Tsu**
They say that ever since,
those two have been calling
**[17:23] Tsu**
to each other from the peaks saying
**[17:25] Tsu**
"I long for you. I want to be with you."
**[17:27] kaz**
Isn't that...
**[17:29] Tsu**
[Yamabiko = Echo]
**[17:29] Tsu**
Yes, it's about the echo.
**[17:32] Tsu**
They say that the power of their words
**[17:34] Tsu**
flowed down into the valley
and saturated the lands,
**[17:36] Tsu**
and their love for each
other made it to the village
**[17:40] Tsu**
and bore great fruits...
**[17:42] Tsu**
They say that that is the origin
of the name of this region.
**[17:47] Kasa**
In the fall, we have a festival
that celebrates that legend.
**[17:51] Tsu**
They place a float at
both ends of the bridge,
**[17:54] ---**
representing the Twin Peaks,
**[17:56] Tsu**
and perform a ritual.
**[17:58] Tsu**
And then, the Kotama Shrine-
**[17:59] Ui**
That's it!
**[18:01] Ui**
We should go to Kotama Shrine next!
**[18:04] Ui**
The stone steps going up
to it are really long!
**[18:10] kaz**
So these are the stone steps.
**[18:13] Ayu**
It really is a long climb.
**[18:16] Ui**
It's a race, Kazu!
**[18:19] Ayu**
Good luck!
**[18:23] kaz**
Daigo catch!
**[18:29] Tsu**
Those two sure have a lot of energy.
**[18:31] Dai**
Yeah, huh.
**[18:32] Dai**
We'll take it leisurely, Ayumu.
**[18:36] Ayu**
Let's go.
**[18:37] Ibu**
A race?
**[18:38] Ibu**
Those two really are so childish.
**[19:06] Ui**
Done!
**[19:08] Ui**
You're really fast, Kazu!
**[19:11] kaz**
I- I guess so.
**[19:13] Ui**
Huh?
**[19:14] Ui**
Madoka?
**[19:17] Ui**
She's a freshman at our school.
**[19:20] Ui**
Her name is Madoka.
**[19:25] Ui**
This is the new transfer student.
**[19:28] kaz**
I'm Kazuma Hoshino.
**[19:31] kaz**
Hoshino?
**[19:35] ---**
Kazuma...
**[19:47] Ui**
Madoka?
**[19:52] Dai**
I guess we've shown you basically
everything there is to see.
**[19:54] Dai**
All that's left is the Backpipe.
**[19:57] kaz**
The Bagpipe?
**[19:58] Tsu**
It's not the Bagpipe.
It's the Bacpipe.
**[20:03] Tsu**
It's a coffee shop we go
to a lot after school.
**[20:06] Ui**
They've got a delicious Jumbo Parfait!
**[20:16] kaz**
So this is the Jumbo Parfait...
**[20:19] Ayu**
It's huge.
**[20:26] ui**
It's so good!
**[20:36] ui**
That was great!
**[20:39] kaz**
Hang on!
**[20:40] kaz**
I think a warp in
space-time just occurred!
**[20:45] kaz**
Hey, Ui.
**[20:47] kaz**
There's some cream on your lip.
**[21:00] Ui**
Thanks, brother.
**[21:06] kaz**
Huh?
**[21:11] Kasa**
This is one of the manifestations
of the social phenomenon called
**[21:14] Kasa**
"Calling Your Kindergarten
Teacher Mom."
**[21:16] Dai**
Is that like me calling
my mom "Mom" in class?
**[21:20] Ibu**
Your case is different.
**[21:22] Ui**
I'm sorry.
**[21:23] Ui**
I think I just did that because Ayumu
**[21:25] ---**
is always calling you "brother."
**[21:28] Ui**
And it was kind of infectious...
**[21:46] kaz**
You're in a good mood, Ayumu.
**[21:47] Ayu**
Yeah. I really like Yamabiko.
**[21:52] Ayu**
What about you?
**[21:54] kaz**
I like it too.
**[22:04] Ui**
So Kazu's younger brother is Ayumu,
**[22:07] Ui**
and Ayumu's older brother is Kazu.
**[22:14] Ui**
I see...
**[22:17] Ui**
Kazu's the older brother.
**[23:55] ayu**
Brother, yours is really big.
**[23:58] kaz**
Compared to that, yours is pale
and has a long way to go.
**[24:02] sen**

Ayumu, can you think of a place

on your body where it
would hurt to put acorns?
**[24:19] ayu**
Hmm, my nostrils?

Safe!

**[02:18] sen**
You two sure are sleeping late today.
**[02:21] sen**
If I don't wake you up,
you're going to be late.
**[02:28] ayu**
It's really standing straight up.
**[02:32] kaz**
I can't help it.
**[02:34] kaz**
It gets this way sometimes
in the morning.
**[02:37] sen**
It stands straight up
in the mornings...
**[02:38] ayu**
It never gets better
unless I do it for you.
**[02:42] kaz**
Yeah yeah, just do it.
**[02:44] sen**
They can't be talking about...!
**[02:46] ayu**
Okay. Here I go...
**[02:49] sen**
STOP!
**[02:52] sen**
What you're about to do
is a highly impure act!
**[02:53] sen**
And a homosexual one...
**[02:55] sen**
...and what's worse, it's incestuous!
**[03:02] sen**
Oh...
**[03:04] sen**
If you meant your *hair*
was sticking straight up,
**[03:08] ---**
you could've just said so!
**[03:10] sen**
And here my imagination
was running wild!
**[03:26] Tsu**
When you walk with your brother,
**[03:29] Tsu**
you deliberately make
your stride shorter.
**[03:33] ---**
You're matching your stride to his.
**[03:38] kaz**
What's up?
**[03:39] ayu**
Nothing.
**[03:41] ayu**
Nothing at all!
**[03:43] Dai**
Hey there, bro!
**[03:46] kaz**
Is that you, Daigo?
**[03:48] kaz**
What are you so excited about
so early in the morning?
**[03:51] Dai**
And how's my bro's bro doing?
**[03:53] ayu**
Good!
**[03:54] ayu**
Good morning, Daigo!
**[03:58] ayu**
Okay, I'm leaving now.
**[04:02] kaz**
Take care!
**[04:25] Dai**
We better get going, Kazuma.
**[04:33] U**
Kazu! Daigo! Good morning!
**[04:38] kaz**
Hey, Ui!
**[04:41] kaz**
...and Hinata.
**[04:42] Hi**
Hey! What's with the unhappy face?
**[04:46] kaz**
What are you talking about?
**[04:51] Hi**
If that's your attempt to hide it,
**[04:53] ---**
you're not doing a very good job!
**[04:54] kaz**
I'm not...
**[04:56] ---**
It just felt like someone
was watching us.
**[05:10] Ui**
Lunch time, it's lunch time,
it's lunch time, yay!
**[05:14] HI**
Go get your bread and then hurry back.
**[05:18] HI**
If you don't,
her desk is going
**[05:20] ---**
to get all sticky with drool.
**[05:23] Ui**
Like that would ever happen!
**[05:25] Ui**
I have a handkerchief.
**[05:27] kaz**
I guess she's not going
to deny that she drools.
**[05:31] Boy**
Is that him?
**[05:34] Boy2**
Yeah. He moved here from a big city.
**[05:37] Girl**
Didn't he supposedly
**[05:38] ---**
push over some girl in the mountains?
**[05:40] Girl2**
Well, that's the rumor, anyway!
**[05:43] kaz**
Is it me, or are people spreading
weird rumors about me?
**[05:46] Dai**
Well, the kid from the big
city would have gotten
**[05:49] Dai**
all the attention anyway,
**[05:50] ---**
but then you had to go and do THAT.
**[05:52] Dai**
It would be weirder if nobody
was talking about you.
**[05:55] kaz**
But I'm telling you, that was just
a misunderstanding, a mix up!
**[05:57] Dai**
I get it, I get it!
**[05:59] Dai**
So you had to "mix it up"
**[06:00] ---**
by doing some crazy stuff to her, huh?
**[06:02] kaz**
Not that kind of mix up!
**[06:08] Dai**
What's wrong, bro?
**[06:09] kaz**
Nothing.
**[06:17] Boy**
It's over, it's over!
**[06:20] Girl**
Ms. Minamigokubara's
homeroom is so long
**[06:22] ---**
that it just wears you out.
**[06:23] girl**
We should go somewhere now!
**[06:26] Ui**
I'm so hungry!
**[06:29] kaz**
You had so much food at lunch.
**[06:31] kaz**
How can you possibly be hungry?
**[06:33] Ui**
Huh?
**[06:34] kaz**
Don't act like you don't know
what I'm talking about.
**[06:38] Dai**
You've just got to let it go, bro.
**[06:40] Dai**
That's how she is.
**[06:49] kaz**
Hold this.
**[06:50] Dai**
Okay.
**[06:53] Hi**
What's up with him?
**[06:54] Dai**
Dunno.
**[06:56] kaz**
Hey, stop!
**[06:57] kaz**
You've been spying on me!
**[07:01] ---**
Come on!
**[07:10] kaz**
Phew...
**[07:13] kaz**
Wait a second.
**[07:15] kaz**
You're that girl from the temple.
**[07:20] mado**
Umm... umm...
**[07:23] kaz**
Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.
**[07:26] kaz**
Are you okay?
**[07:27] mado**
I'm fine!
**[07:29] mado**
It's just that when something
like this happens suddenly,
**[07:31] ---**
I don't know what to do!
**[07:32] mado**
I mean, to be suddenly run
at and touched by someone,
**[07:35] ---**
it could be somewhat
problematic I believe,
**[07:37] mado**
I mean, even these things have
a certain order to them,
**[07:39] ---**
so if they're too sudden,
one does get embarrassed...
**[07:43] mado**
So could you please take your hand...
**[07:45] ---**
could you please take your hand and...
**[07:48] mado**
So... so...
**[07:52] ---**
NOOO!
**[08:05] mado**
I'm very sorry!
**[08:14] Tsu**
Kazuma...
**[08:17] ---**
are you all right?
***SIGN*** Nurse's Office
**[08:19] kaz**
Oww, oww, oww!
**[08:22] kaz**
She has a phobia of males?!
**[08:24] Tsu**
Well, that might be a
bit of an exaggeration,
**[08:26] ---**
but maybe it's because Madoka
**[08:28] ---**
has been raised very strictly by her grandfather,
**[08:30] Tsu**
so she doesn't deal
very well with guys.
**[08:32] Tsu**
If she's suddenly approached
**[08:34] ---**
by someone she doesn't know very well,
**[08:35] Tsu**
she tends to panic and respond
**[08:37] ---**
the way you experienced.
**[08:38] mado**
NOO!
**[08:40] kaz**
So that was...
**[08:42] Tsu**
I'm not quite sure myself.
**[08:44] Tsu**
I think it was some
form of self-defense.
**[08:47] Tsu**
Her grandfather taught it to her
**[08:49] ---**
so she can ward off bad people.
**[08:52] kaz**
Bad people?
**[08:53] Tsu**
I know this was a bit of a mishap,
**[08:56] ---**
but please don't think badly of her.
**[08:58] kaz**
Oh, of course not.
**[09:00] Tsu**
Thank you!
**[09:01] Tsu**
I knew you were a nice guy, Kazuma!

**[09:40] sen**
Hey there, sleepyhead.
**[09:42] kaz**
Good morning!
**[09:44] sen**
It's almost noon!
**[09:46] sen**
I know it's Sunday,
but isn't that a bit late?
**[09:50] kaz**
I'm sorry, I was up late last night.
**[09:52] sen**
Your brother has already gone outside.
**[09:55] sen**
He took his sketchbook and told me
he was going to draw a landscape.
**[09:58] sen**
Why don't you go eat your breakfast
**[10:00] ---**
and then go on a walk or something?
**[10:02] sen**
You'll just get in the way
when we clean your room.
**[10:05] kaz**
Y-yes.
**[10:09] kaz**
Where am I supposed
to walk to, exactly?
**[10:14] kaz**
Well, the weather's nice,
**[10:16] ---**
so I guess I can just walk around here.
**[10:24] kaz**
Oww, oww!
**[10:25] kaz**
That got me right in the back again!
**[10:29] kaz**
She has a phobia of males?!
**[10:31] Tsu**
but maybe it's because Madoka
**[10:33] Tsu**
has been raised very strictly by her grandfather,
**[10:35] ---**
so she doesn't deal
very well with guys.
**[10:39] kaz**
I guess that wasn't exactly
a cool thing then.
**[10:47] kaz**
I should probably go and apologize.
**[10:54] kaz**
I don't know if she's here,
but at least I can try.
**[11:02] kaz**
She's here, she's not,
**[11:04] ---**
she's here, she's not,
**[11:06] ---**
she's here, she's not...
**[11:08] ---**
she's here, she's not...
**[11:10] ---**
she's here, she's not...
**[11:12] ---**
she's here!
**[11:14] ---**
She's here!
**[11:18] kaz**
Wait!
**[11:20] kaz**
I'm sorry for what happened earlier!
**[11:27] mado**
I-I am also... very sorry!
**[11:39] mado**
I really am very sorry.
I didn't mean to do that.
**[11:45] ---**
My body just started to
move independently...
**[11:48] kaz**
Well, I was the one who suddenly
grabbed your shoulder.
**[11:53] kaz**
You have nothing to be sorry for, Koumoto.
**[11:55] mado**
Thank you.
**[11:57] mado**
It's very kind of you to say so.
**[12:04] mado**
Oh, and you can
just call me Madoka.
**[12:07] mado**
After all, you are older than me, Hoshinoo.
**[12:11] kaz**
Huh?
**[12:12] kaz**
Then you can just call me Kazuma.
**[12:15] mado**
All right... Kazuma.
**[12:24] kaz**
Well then, Madoka, I think I'll be...
**[12:27] mado**
Please wait!
**[12:28] mado**
There's something I'd like to ask you.
**[12:34] kaz**
There is?
**[12:35] mado**
Yes.
**[12:37] mado**
I'm not sure if I should
be asking you this,
**[12:41] ---**
but about you and Nakatsugawa
in the mountains.
**[12:45] mado**
They say you pushed
her over and then...
**[12:47] ---**
did all these things to her...
**[12:50] kaz**
Say what?!
**[12:56] mado**
So that's what happened.
**[12:58] mado**
You were crossing the river and
**[13:00] ---**
slipped on one of the stones.
**[13:01] kaz**
Yeah.
**[13:02] kaz**
I thought I'd just jump
across, but then I slipped.
**[13:07] mado**
Now I understand.
**[13:08] mado**
I used to play there a lot
when I was a child.
**[13:12] mado**
I've fallen often enough myself.
**[13:14] kaz**
So yeah, that's what happened
and all those rumors
**[13:17] ---**
about Ui and I doing all
these things are totally...
**[13:19] kaz**
Oh well, I guess we
did do one thing...
**[13:23] kaz**
when my feet slipped and
I fell on top of her,
**[13:24] ---**
we kissed, but that was an accident.
**[13:26] mado**
You kissed?!
**[13:28] kaz**
Well yeah, but that was just...
**[13:32] mado**
So you and Nakatsugawa...
**[13:47] kaz**
Hey... uh... why?
**[13:53] kaz**
Ouch!
**[13:57] kaz**
An acorn?
**[13:58] koy**
Summoned by the sky,
the earth, and man!
**[14:02] koy**
Swift death to evil.
**[14:08] koy**
My name is Koyori Toudou!
**[14:10] koy**
I've come here to bring
this evil to its knees!
**[14:17] koy**
Kazuma Hoshino, you
parasite from the city!
**[14:20] koy**
Do not dare imagine that
**[14:21] ---**
I will let you pollute
the peace of Yamabiko!
**[14:24] kaz**
Hey!
**[14:25] ---**
You come out of nowhere
and call me a parasite?
**[14:28] ---**
What's the big idea?!
**[14:29] kaz**
And when I have I ever polluted
anything around here?
**[14:31] koy**
Do not toy with me, Kazuma Hoshino!
**[14:33] koy**
I have heard the sordid tale
**[14:35] ---**
of what you've done to Uicchu.
**[14:38] kaz**
Who's Uicchu?
**[14:40] kaz**
Oh, are you talking about Ui?
**[14:42] koy**
Who else would I be talking about?!
**[14:44] kaz**
I'm telling you, that
was a misunderstanding!
**[14:46] koy**
Oh, I see. A mistake.
**[14:49] koy**
Then how do you explain the fact that
**[14:51] ---**
you just made Madoka cry?!
**[14:53] kaz**
Actually, I don't really
know what happened here...
**[14:56] koy**
Say no more!
**[14:58] kaz**
Ouch!
**[15:01] kaz**
Hey!
**[15:02] koy**
Take that! And this! And that!
**[15:04] mado**
Please stop!
**[15:06] mado**
It wasn't his fault I was crying.
**[15:09] mado**
He didn't do anything,
so please, stop hurting him!
**[15:25] koy**
Kazuma Hoshino!
**[15:26] koy**
This time I will let you off
the hook for Madoka's sake!
**[15:30] koy**
But if I ever hear of you
making her cry again,
**[15:33] ---**
you will rue the day you were born!
**[15:35] koy**
Doron!
**[15:44] koy**
Hey, you!
**[15:45] koy**
When someone says "doron,"
**[15:46] ---**
you're supposed to get on your
knees and close your eyes!
**[15:49] koy**
How else am I supposed to disappear?!
**[15:51] kaz**
I don't have to play by
your little kiddie rules.
**[15:57] Ko**
Doron!
**[16:00] Ko**
Doron!
**[16:02] Ko**
Doron, doron!
**[16:39] Ui**
Hey, do you guys want to go
**[16:40] ---**
to the Backpipe after school today?
**[16:42] HI**
I'm gonna pass.
**[16:44] ---**
I've got a club after school today.
**[16:45] Ui**
Oh, okay. What about you, Kazu?
**[16:49] kaz**
I'll go.
**[16:50] ---**
So what kind of club are you in, Hinata?
**[16:53] Ui**
Ibuki does archery!
**[16:57] kaz**
Archery?
**[16:58] kaz**
She's so good that everyone
calls her the Hikonan Robin...
**[17:02] kaz**
Robin... what was it?
**[17:05] kaz**
Mask, right?
**[17:07] Ui**
That's it!
**[17:08] Hi**
It's not "mask," it's "hood"!
Robin Hood!
**[17:12] kaz**
You must be really good
if they call you that.
**[17:15] Ui**
She is!
**[17:15] ---**
She was even chosen as
**[17:17] ---**
our representative at the next prefectural meet.
**[17:19] HI**
It's not that big of a deal.
**[17:22] Dai**
But then that means that walking home,
**[17:24] ---**
it's just gonna be Ui and bro.
**[17:27] Ui**
You're busy too?
**[17:31] Dai**
Today I've got my...
**[17:33] ---**
supplementary English class!
**[17:36] kaz**
Why are you bragging about that?
**[17:40] HJi**
I'm sure you know this already,
**[17:42] ---**
but don't think you'll
get away with doing
**[17:44] HJi**
something weird to Ui just because
you'll be alone with her!
**[17:48] ---**
Yeah...
**[17:51] kaz**
What's with Hinata?
**[17:53] kaz**
She's always talking about
me doing something 'weird'.
**[17:55] kaz**
What's that about?
**[18:00] Ui**
Yeah...
**[18:01] Ui**
Well, she's always saying
strange stuff like that.
**[18:11] kaz**
Ayumu!
**[18:13] ayu**
Kazuma!
**[18:15] ayu**
And Ui!
**[18:17] Ui**
Hello, Ayumu!
**[18:20] ayu**
Kazuma, I joined the art club.
**[18:24] kaz**
You did?
**[18:25] kaz**
That's good.
You're good at drawing.
**[18:27] Ui**
Really?
**[18:28] Ui**
Then I'll be your model next time.
**[18:31] Ui**
Please draw me!
**[18:33] Ui**
Or... do you not want to?
**[18:34] ayu**
I don't think I'm good
enough to have a model.
**[18:40] kaz**
Ayumu, your face is a little red.
**[18:42] ayu**
That's not true!
**[18:44] ayu**
I'm fine.
**[18:45] kaz**
Show me your forehead.
**[18:47] kaz**
I'll see if you've got a fever.
**[18:49] ayu**
You don't have to do that here...
**[18:51] kaz**
It's fine. Come on.
**[19:00] kaz**
It looks like you've
got a bit of a fever.
**[19:02] ayu**
It's nothing.
**[19:04] kaz**
What are you talking about?
**[19:05] kaz**
You get sick easily, so we
shouldn't take any chances.
**[19:09] ---**
But...
**[19:12] kaz**
Come on. I'll give you a
piggyback ride to Yorozuyo.
**[19:15] ayu**
You don't have to do that!
I can walk back by myself.
**[19:18] kaz**
Just get on already.
**[19:19] kaz**
Sorry, Ui, would you take my bag?
**[19:22] Ui**
Sure!
**[19:25] Ui**
Ayumu, you've got a fever so
you've got to take it easy.
**[19:44] Ui**
That reminds me...
**[19:46] Ui**
My older brother used to give me
**[19:47] ---**
piggyback rides too
when I was little...
**[19:52] Ui**
My feet hurt!
**[19:55] Ui**
I can't walk any further!
**[19:57] Boy**
All right.
**[19:59] Boy**
Come on, I'll give you
a piggyback ride home.
**[20:07] Ui**
Okay!
**[20:14] Ui**
Lucky. I wish he
would carry me like that.
**[20:25] Ui**
What is wrong with me?
**[20:27] ---**
Ayumu has a fever and all I
can think about is myself!
**[20:30] ---**
But...
**[20:52] kaz**
Sorry I kept you waiting.
**[20:54] Ui**
It's fine.
**[20:55] Ui**
Is Ayumu okay?
**[20:58] kaz**
I gave him some cold medicine,
**[20:59] ---**
put him into bed, and he
fell asleep holding my hand.
**[21:02] kaz**
It'll be gone by tomorrow.
**[21:06] Ui**
I'm glad that he's not that sick.
**[21:08] Ui**
You're such a good big brother.
**[21:12] Ui**
I envy Ayumu.
**[21:14] kaz**
Huh?
**[21:15] Ui**
Uh, I mean, oh, well,
it's not like that means
**[21:18] ---**
I want you to give me a
piggyback ride or touch
**[21:21] Ui**
foreheads with me or
anything like that!
**[21:24] kaz**
Foreheads?
**[21:30] sen**
Am I disturbing anything?
**[21:34] sen**
Oh... looks like I might be.
**[21:39] sen**
Why don't I leave you two alone then?
**[21:49] kaz**
What are you doing there?
**[21:58] kaz**
Geez.
**[22:07] Ui**
Should I not have eaten these?
**[22:19] Ui**
Whaaaat?
**[23:56] sen**
Hey Kazuma, what kind
of girl's your type?

Met With A Bear And Had A Chat
**[24:05] sen**
Come on, don't change the subject
**[24:06] ---**
to the preview; tell me!
**[24:08] kaz**
Hmm, a girl with long hair
and bright disposition,
**[24:12] ---**
someone who's fun to just be around...
**[24:14] koy**
Wait a minute, you basically
described Uicchu!
**[24:18] ayu**
So that basically means
she matches with you.
**[24:21] kaz**
Ayumu, that pun might be
too horrible to let pass.

**[00:06] Girl**
I need to get taro,
**[00:09] Girl**
carrots,
**[00:10] Girl**
konyaku,
**[00:11] Girl**
burdock root...
**[00:13] Girl**
Got it.
**[00:14] Dai**
How lucky is that?
**[00:15] kazu**
Are these really that good?
**[00:17] Dai**
I gotta take a leak!
**[00:19] ---**
Oh yeah. Take this!

Met With A Bear And Had A Chat
**[01:59] Dai**
We actually got some
**[02:02] ---**
cole seed cream-sandwiches at the store.
**[02:05] Dai**
How lucky is that?
**[02:06] kazu**
Are these really that good?

I gotta take a leak!
**[02:12] kazu**
Sure.
**[02:14] Dai**
Oh yeah. Take this!
**[02:20] kazu**
Oww, oww, oww!
**[02:24] kazu**
I'm sorry!
**[02:25] kazu**
I didn't watch where I was going...
**[02:41] kazu**
You dropped this.
***SIGN*** Sent
**[02:45] Girl**
Good.
**[02:46] Girl**
It looks like it's not broken.
**[02:50] Girl**
Thanks.
**[02:53] kazu**
Cute.
**[02:56] Girl**
Don't mock me!
**[02:58] kazu**
No, I meant...
**[03:01] kazu**
My little brother likes
those types of things too.
**[03:12] Dai**
Thanks for waitin'!
**[03:16] Dai**
What's wrong, bro?
**[03:17] Dai**
That was Sakai!
**[03:19] kazu**
Do you know her?
**[03:21] Dai**
Do I *know* the senior Hina Sakai?
**[03:24] Dai**
She's the only daughter of the owner
**[03:25] ---**
of the Sakai Liquor store
in downtown Yamabiko!
**[03:28] Dai**
Her and Tsumugi are two
of Hikonan's Venuses!
**[03:32] Dai**
Tsumugi is one of those warm,
loving older-sister types
**[03:35] Dai**
and Sakai is her perfect
opposite: a cool beauty!
**[03:39] Dai**
With her model long legs
and her cold side-glance,
**[03:41] Dai**
it's every guy's dream
to get yelled at by her
**[03:44] Dai**
and for girls she's *the* female to give
**[03:47] ---**
their Valentine's chocolates to.
**[03:53] kazu**
A senior.
**[03:54] ---**
So she's older than us...
**[03:56] kazu**
I guess I shouldn't
have said that then.
**[04:01] saka**
Ever since I was a little girl,
**[04:02] ---**
I was the tallest one in class
**[04:04] saka**
and always had to stand
in the very back.
**[04:07] saka**
Nobody's ever called me 'cute' before.
**[04:11] saka**
I was sure he was making fun of me.
**[04:17] saka**
But he wasn't talking about me.
**[04:22] saka**
How embarrassing!
**[04:33] kazu**
So you guys hold your sports
festival around this time?
**[04:37] Ui**
That's right!
**[04:39] hina**
Ui, don't talk with your mouth full!
**[04:43] Dai**
Since we don't have a lot of students,
**[04:44] ---**
we do it together with the junior high.
**[04:46] Dai**
It gets pretty busy around then.
**[04:48] Ui**
We also have the Hikonan Race then!
**[04:50] kazu**
What's that?
**[04:52] Dai**
Simply put, it's a marathon
that goes around the city,
**[04:56] Dai**
but since that in itself
would be pretty boring,
**[04:57] ---**
there are a few checkpoints
**[04:59] Dai**
where you have to complete
a task to move on.
**[05:04] Ui**
And since it's the
highlight of the event,
**[05:06] ---**
we have prizes for those who place!
**[05:09] hina**
Are you representing the
Backpipe again this year?
**[05:13] Ui**
Yeah.
**[05:14] ---**
The owner always gives me freebies,
**[05:16] ---**
so I've got to give back somehow.
**[05:18] kazu**
So what does representing
a caf
**[05:22] hina**
The Hikonan Race is sponsored
by the local businesses,
**[05:26] hina**
so all runners need to find
a local sponsor to enter.
**[05:30] Ui**
We also get a spot on cable TV
**[05:33] ---**
as a point of local interest.
**[05:35] kazu**
So there's a live TV broadcast, too?
**[05:38] hina**
No, no.
**[05:40] hina**
We get a tiny spot on the
local news, that's it.
**[05:43] Ui**
Yeah, but the winner gets interviewed!
**[05:47] Dai**
The winner's interview is
a pretty good chance
**[05:48] ---**
for some promotion,
**[05:50] Dai**
so all the business owners
**[05:52] ---**
get pretty competitive about it.
**[05:54] hina**
I guess there's that,
**[05:56] ---**
but I think getting rowdy as a town
**[05:58] ---**
is a stronger motivator.
**[06:01] kazu**
I see.
**[06:03] kazu**
Oh well,
**[06:04] ---**
I guess it's got
nothing to do with me.
**[06:07] kazu**
I'm back!
**[06:12] kazu**
What's wrong... Sis?
**[06:14] sen**
Kazuma?
**[06:16] kazu**
Yes?
**[06:17] sen**
Get ready for your special training!
**[06:21] kazu**
What?!
**[06:22] ---**
You want me to represent Yorozuyo
**[06:24] ---**
in the Hikonan Race?!
**[06:25] sen**
I asked Ayumu about it
**[06:27] ---**
and he told me you
worked quite hard
**[06:28] sen**
in the tennis club back
at your old school.
**[06:31] kazu**
I don't know if I'd go that far...
**[06:34] sen**
You don't have to play it down.
**[06:36] sen**
I mean, I saw you after
the bath that one time,
**[06:39] ---**
and your upper thighs
seemed quite firm.
**[06:43] kazu**
Please stop analyzing
underage boys like that!
**[06:50] sen**
Let the special training begin!
**[06:52] sen**
Ready?
**[06:53] sen**
Here we have a cloth saturated
with glass cleaning fluid!
**[06:56] sen**
And here is a dry cloth for polishing!
**[06:59] sen**
Cleaner on, cleaner off.
**[07:01] sen**
Cleaner on, cleaner off!
**[07:03] sen**
Now you try it.
**[07:05] kazu**
Cleaner on, cleaner off.
**[07:08] kazu**
Cleaner on, cleaner off.
**[07:11] kazu**
What exactly is this training good for?
**[07:16] sen**
It gets the windows clean.
**[07:18] kazu**
Sis!
**[07:19] sen**
Oh, I was just joking around!
**[07:21] sen**
The real training starts now.
**[07:23] kazu**
What are you going to make me do now?
**[07:26] sen**
You will heat sand in
a Chinese wok and then
**[07:28] sen**
you will thrust your hand
into it hundreds-
**[07:31] sen**
nay- THOUSANDS of times!
**[07:33] sen**
By doing so,
**[07:34] ---**
your fingertips will become
as hard as steel and
**[07:37] sen**
you'll be able to strike a blow
that can kill instantly!
**[07:39] kazu**
I'm going on a run.
**[07:43] sen**
Kazuma, wait!
**[07:46] sen**
Sheesh, he never runs with it.
**[07:59] Girl**
*Hey!*
**[08:02] Girl**
I'm up here!
**[08:08] kazu**
What are you doing up there?
**[08:12] Girl**
I was saving this poor kitty
that climbed up this tree
**[08:14] ---**
and couldn't get back down again.
**[08:19] kazu**
What kitty?
**[08:21] Girl**
What were you trying
to do to my stuff?!
**[08:25] kazu**
I wasn't doing anything!
**[08:27] Girl**
You couldn't help but
notice my sweet bargains
**[08:30] ---**
and you wanted them for yourself!
**[08:33] kazu**
I don't...
**[08:34] ---**
want them.
**[08:36] Girl**
Then why are you looking
down like that?
**[08:39] Girl**
Is it not because of the guilt
you feel in your heart?
**[08:42] kazu**
Well, the reason for that's...
**[08:45] Girl**
What? Come out and
say it, Kazuma Hoshino!
**[08:48] kazu**
It's because the inside
of your... skirt.
**[08:51] Girl**
My skirt?
**[08:59] kazu**
Watch out!
**[09:05] kazu**
Owww, you're heavy.
**[09:10] Girl**
What are you trying to do?!
**[09:15] kazu**
What was I doing?
**[09:17] kazu**
I was saving you.
**[09:21] Girl**
I guess...
**[09:24] Girl**
...thanks.
**[09:28] kazu**
I would have never guessed
that you're Tsumugi's little sister.
**[09:38] kazu**
Oww!
**[09:40] kazu**
What are you doing?!
**[09:42] Girl**
You were thinking something
rude just now.
**[09:45] kazu**
Was I?
**[09:56] kazu**
It looks like you really
got a lot of stuff.
**[09:59] kazu**
You had errands?
**[10:00] Girl**
No, these are for Grandpa Gen.
**[10:03] kazu**
Who's that?
**[10:04] koyo**
He lives all alone,
**[10:06] ---**
so shopping is pretty difficult for him.
**[10:09] koyo**
So sometimes, I go shop for him.
**[10:13] kazu**
Why do you do that?
**[10:15] koy**
Because.
**[10:18] ---**
When someone needs your help,
**[10:20] ---**
you give it to them.
**[10:24] kazu**
Here. Give me the bag.
**[10:26] koy**
I knew you've been wanting
it this whole time!
**[10:28] kazu**
Of course I don't!
**[10:29] ---**
I just want to carry it for you!
**[10:31] koy**
Why would you do that though?
**[10:33] kazu**
What do you mean, "why?"
**[10:35] kazu**
Because when someone needs your help,
**[10:37] ---**
you give it to them.
**[10:39] kazu**
Also,
**[10:40] ---**
you shouldn't let a girl carry
something heavy. Right?
**[10:44] koy**
Oh, well...
**[10:48] ---**
Then, you can carry half.
**[10:50] kazu**
Half?
**[11:02] Gen**
I'm coming.
**[11:06] Gen**
Huh?
**[11:07] kazu**
It's a pleasure to meet you.
**[11:11] Gen**
That was a bit of a shock though,
**[11:14] ---**
to see Koyori with
such a nice boyfriend!
**[11:17] kazu**
Don't be stupid, Grandpa Gen!
**[11:20] kazu**
This guy from the city
**[11:21] ---**
pushed Uicchu over
in the mountains
**[11:22] kazu**
and he made Madoka cry.
**[11:25] ---**
He's an axis of evil!
**[11:29] kazu**
So there's no way this guy
**[11:32] ---**
would ever be my b-b-b-boy...
**[11:35] kazu**
boyfriend, ever, ever, ever!
**[11:38] Gen**
Huh?
**[11:39] kazu**
Uhmmm...
**[11:41] Gen**
My name is Gengoro.
**[11:43] Gen**
Gengoro Yamakawa.
**[11:45] Gen**
But you can call me Grandpa
Gen too, if you like.
**[11:48] kazu**
That's fine.
**[11:50] kazu**
So you live here by yourself?
**[11:53] Gen**
Yes.
**[11:54] Gen**
My daughter moved out
after she got married
**[11:57] Gen**
and my wife has been gone
for three years now.
**[12:01] kazu**
Oh.
**[12:02] kazu**
I'm sorry for bringing it up.
**[12:06] Gen**
You're young, you shouldn't
worry about stuff like that!
**[12:10] Gen**
It's not so bad for an
old man to live alone.
**[12:14] Gen**
But Keita, my grandson, is
getting an operation soon.
**[12:18] Gen**
I do worry about the fact
that he's so scared of it.
**[12:22] kazu**
Is it a complicated operation?
**[12:25] Gen**
No... well.
**[12:26] ---**
The doctor reassures me
**[12:27] ---**
that nine out of ten, all goes well.
**[12:29] Gen**
But he's a child still,
**[12:31] ---**
so even a small operation
makes you worry.
**[12:34] Gen**
Koyori, would you visit
Keita in the hospital?
**[12:38] Gen**
I think seeing you would be
the best medicine for him.
**[12:42] Koy**
Of course I will!
**[12:43] Koy**
You can count on me.
**[13:02] kazu**
Cute.
**[13:03] saka**
Don't mock me!
**[13:08] saka**
Maybe that was bad...
**[13:12] saka**
Yeah, I mean,
**[13:13] ---**
that boy was just saying that I'm cute!
**[13:16] ---**
Your attitude was horrible.
**[13:19] saka**
That's right.
**[13:21] saka**
I guess I should probably apologize.

**[13:43] sen**
You're finally up, sleepyhead!
**[13:46] kazu**
Good morning.
**[13:48] sen**
Just because it's Sunday,
**[13:49] ---**
doesn't mean you have
to get up at noon!
**[13:52] kazu**
I'm tired from training
for the Hikonan Run!
**[13:55] kazu**
Ayumu already left a while ago.
**[13:59] kazu**
Did he go sketching?
**[14:00] sen**
No, I think he said he
was going to Daigo's.
**[14:06] kazu**
He did?
**[14:12] kazu**
Why would Ayumu go over to Daigo's?
**[14:25] hina**
I wouldn't have expected you to train
**[14:29] ---**
properly for the Hikonan Race.
**[14:31] kazu**
Well, I figure if I'm in it,
**[14:32] ---**
I might as well not embarrass myself.
**[14:35] kazu**
Are you participating too?
**[14:38] hina**
Me?
**[14:39] hina**
Nope.
**[14:41] kazu**
Then what are you doing out here?
**[14:42] hina**
My own training for the archery club.
**[14:45] kaz**
So is that outfit your
club's uniform, or what?
**[14:49] hina**
Not really. But I'm working out,
**[14:52] hina**
so isn't it obvious that I
would wear my PE uniform?
**[14:57] kazu**
So she's fine wearing these
clothes outside of school.
**[15:00] kazu**
I guess we're not in the city anymore.
**[15:03] kazu**
The country sure is scary!
**[15:05] hina**
Here.
**[15:06] kazu**
Huh?
**[15:07] hina**
You must be thirsty.
**[15:09] hina**
I mean, having you stare
at my drink is unnerving,
**[15:11] ---**
so just have some already.
**[15:12] kazu**
Is that okay?
**[15:15] kazu**
Sharing the bottle would be
like an indirect kiss...
**[15:23] kazu**
The same place every time!
**[15:25] hina**
You're such an idiot.
**[15:28] kazu**
So... Ui said she was running
in the Hikonan Race.
**[15:32] kazu**
Is she training too?
**[15:35] hina**
She's training in her own way.
**[15:40] Man**
Here you are.
**[15:41] hina**
An extra large portion of the
Everything But the Kitchen Sink Ramen.
**[15:43] Ui**
Will you time me then?
**[15:45] Man**
Sure!
**[15:46] Man**
On your mark.
**[15:47] Man**
Get set.
**[15:49] Man**
Go!
**[16:03] Boy**
Yes?
**[16:04] Nurse**
Look, Keita!
**[16:05] Nurse**
Your grandpa is here to see you!
**[16:09] Kei**
Grandpa!
**[16:10] nurs**
And Koyori's here too!
**[16:12] Koy**
Feeling good, Keita?
**[16:14] Kei**
If I was, I wouldn't
be in the hospital!
**[16:17] Gen**
Keita!
**[16:19] ---**
Is that the way you
talk to someone
**[16:21] ---**
who came all the way
here to see you?
**[16:23] Koy**
You can feel good
even when you're sick!
**[16:27] Koy**
In fact, you've got to
try to feel extra good
**[16:29] Koy**
when you're sick,
to kick the sickness' butt!
**[16:32] Gen**
That's right, Keita.
**[16:33] Gen**
She's absolutely right.
**[16:35] Nur**
Then, once the operation is over,
**[16:38] ---**
you'll be feeling fine again! 'K?
**[16:43] Kei**
So you really think I can get over this
**[16:45] ---**
if I try feeling good?
**[16:47] Koy**
That's right!
**[16:48] Koy**
There's nothing you can't do
when you're feeling good!
**[16:51] Koy**
Some famous people in the past
said the very same thing;
**[16:53] ---**
I read it in a textbook!
**[16:55] Kei**
Then... can you
**[16:57] ---**
win the next Hikonan Race, Koyori?
**[16:59] Koy**
What?
**[17:01] Kei**
You said you can do anything
if you're feeling good.
**[17:03] Kei**
So you can do it!
**[17:04] Gen**
Keita, stop being so pushy!
**[17:07] ---**
You're putting Koyori on the spot.
**[17:09] Kei**
But...
**[17:10] Koy**
All right!
**[17:12] Koy**
I'm gonna enter the Hikonan Race
**[17:14] ---**
and I'm gonna win it!
**[17:15] Gen**
But... Koyori...
**[17:18] Koy**
But if I win, you've
got to feel better.
**[17:22] Koy**
Then get the operation done,
**[17:24] ---**
and feel even better and better!
**[17:25] Koy**
So is it a deal?
**[17:27] Kei**
Yeah!
**[17:28] Koy**
Okay. Then pinky swear!
**[17:30] Kei**
Okay!
**[17:32] Both**
Cross my heart and hope to die,
**[17:34] Both**
stick a needle in my eye!
**[17:38] Both**
It's a pinky swear!

**[17:47] Wom**
Another rough month.
**[17:50] Wom**
I guess I'll cut his
allowance down a bit.
**[17:52] Man**
Hey! Where's Hina?
**[17:54] Wom**
What do you need with her?
**[17:56] Man**
I was going to ask her
to make the delivery.
**[18:00] Wom**
Well, she's out running.
**[18:02] Wom**
She's training for
the Hikonan Race.
**[18:22] saka**
What are you doing here?
**[18:25] saka**
They left me here and I'm so lonely!
**[18:28] saka**
That's so sad. You're all
alone and you're lonely.
**[18:32] saka**
Yeah.
**[18:33] saka**
Then do you want to come to my house?
**[18:36] saka**
Is that okay?
**[18:38] saka**
Of course it is.
**[18:50] saka**
Ugh, did he hear all of that?
**[18:54] saka**
Don't worry.
**[18:56] saka**
I'm sure he didn't.
**[18:58] kazu**
You dropped this.
**[18:59] saka**
Th-thanks!
**[19:04] kazu**
Bye!
**[19:11] saka**
What?
**[19:14] kazu**
Your name is Sakai, right?
**[19:17] saka**
Yeah.
**[19:19] kazu**
I'm really sorry about
what happened earlier.
**[19:21] kazu**
I didn't know you were a senior,
**[19:23] ---**
and I shouldn't have said that.
**[19:26] saka**
Oh. It was fine.
**[19:29] kazu**
Okay. I'm glad.
**[19:38] saka**
I couldn't apologize again.
**[19:46] kazu**
I haven't been practicing in a while.
**[19:47] kazu**
I guess I should do some extra work.
**[19:50] kazu**
And... start!
**[20:04] kazu**
I'm sorry, did I startle you?
**[20:07] Mak**
No, I'm fine.
**[20:09] Mak**
But maybe... maybe...
this isn't how you should
**[20:15] Mak**
be visiting a sacred temple.
**[20:18] kazu**
Sorry.
**[20:24] Mak**
I see.
**[20:26] ---**
You're training for the Hikonan Race.
**[20:29] kazu**
Well, they've done so
much for us at Yorozuyo
**[20:31] kazu**
that when Sis- I mean,
**[20:33] kazu**
Miss Senka asked me to do it...
I really couldn't refuse.
**[20:35] Mak**
Good luck!
**[20:37] Mak**
I'll be rooting for you!
**[20:38] ---**
Thanks.
**[20:40] kazu**
I'll try my best so
**[20:41] ---**
I can get some good publicity
for the Yorozuyo.
**[20:44] Mak**
Oh and then, if you win the
race, you get to participate
**[20:47] Mak**
as one of the male gods
in the Fall Festival.
**[20:50] kazu**
Male god?
**[20:52] mako**
Yes, like the counter-part to a goddess.
**[20:56] kaz**
I see.
**[20:58] mako**
The Fall Festival is based on
the Twin Peak legend and...
**[21:02] kaz**
They place a float at the
both ends of the bridge,
**[21:04] ---**
as an image of the Twin Peaks, right?
**[21:06] mako**
You actually know?
**[21:08] kaz**
Well, I just repeated
what Tsumugi said.
**[21:11] mako**
At the beginning of the festival,
**[21:13] ---**
the male god receives a
**[21:14] mako**
celebratory scroll from a priestess
**[21:16] ---**
of our shrine and then proceeds to get
**[21:18] ---**
on the float waiting at the bottom.
**[21:21] mako**
The goddess similarly receives
a scroll from the mayor,
**[21:23] ---**
well, right now, the shrine parishioner...
**[21:25] mako**
She gets on the float as well
**[21:27] ---**
and the two face each other
**[21:29] ---**
with the bridge in between.
**[21:33] mako**
First the male god recites his scroll,
**[21:36] ---**
and then the goddess
answers by reciting hers.
**[21:40] kazu**
So I guess that's in the image of
**[21:42] ---**
the echo that's going back and forth.
**[21:45] mado**
Yes, but there's actually more to it
**[21:47] ---**
than just the Twin Peak legend.
**[21:50] mado**
Apparently the other part to it is
**[21:52] ---**
that the God of the Mountain descends
**[21:54] mado**
into the village and
brings his blessing
**[21:56] ---**
by being united with a villager.
**[21:58] mado**
And the when the longing feelings
**[22:01] ---**
of the male god and goddess
**[22:03] ---**
finally reach the respective hearts,
**[22:05] mado**
a beautiful star bridge
will appear in the sky.
**[22:13] kazu**
A star bridge, huh?
**[23:55] Dai**
Ayumu, what event comes to mind
**[23:57] ---**
when you hear "sports festival"?
**[24:00] ayu**
Ball rolling, pole toppling...
**[24:02] ---**
OH! And ball tossing.
**[24:04] dai**
Nice selection, ball pole ball.
**[24:07] dai**
All right, now that we've got a good vibe,
**[24:09] ---**
let's go to the preview!
**[24:11] dai**

Ayumu, can you repeat what you said?
**[24:19] ayu**
Ball rolling, toppling, pole inserting.
**[24:21] ---**
Oh no, I messed up.
**[24:23] dai**
Thank you for the treat!

**[00:04] Dai**
The crowning glory of
Yamabiko South High's
**[00:08] ---**
Athletic Festival is the Hikonan Race.
**[00:11] Dai**
It is a long and grueling battle.
**[00:15] Dai**
Ayumu!
**[00:16] A**
Yes?
**[00:18] Dai**
Ayumu,
**[00:20] ---**
your brother is preparing for
this race even as we speak.
**[00:24] Dai**
In order to...
**[00:25] Dai**
be victorious!
**[00:31] Dai**
The enthusiastic support of
his family is a necessity!
**[00:35] A**
Then I'm going to cheer
him on with all I've got!
**[00:38] Dai**
That's the spirit.
**[00:40] Dai**
But to get him over the finish line,
**[00:42] ---**
he's going to need something more
**[00:44] ---**
than normal cheering.
**[00:49] Dai**
Therefore,
**[00:55] Dai**
I'm giving you this.
**[00:57] A**
But that's a...

Red Bean Soup And Eel & A Wedding Dress
**[02:44] Ann**
So, whether you win or lose,
**[02:47] ---**
we ask you all to give us your best.
**[02:50] Ann**
The representatives will now come forward
**[02:52] ---**
and give their team pledge.
**[02:55] Both**
We pledge for our team!
**[02:57] Both**
We swear to compete
**[03:00] ---**
to the best of our abilities
**[03:02] Both**
while observing the
rules of sportsmanship.
**[03:06] Sa**
I, Hina Sakai, swear as the
representative of the Red Team.
**[03:09] Tsu**
I, Tsumugi Toudou, swear as the
representative of the White Team.
**[03:14] Dai**
Here we go!
**[03:17] Dai**
The Yamabiko South High's Athletic
Festival has officially begun!
**[03:20] Dai**
Receiving overwhelming support from
**[03:21] Dai**
the White Team's male participants,
**[03:23] ---**
on this side, we have Tsumugi Toudou!
**[03:26] Dai**
And on this side,
beloved by all the girls on her team,
**[03:29] ---**
we have Hina Sakai!
**[03:31] Dai**
After the ceremonial
pledge by both teams,
**[03:34] Dai**
the fuse for this explosive
battle has been lit!
**[03:40] Dai**
The live commentary will be
**[03:42] ---**
brought to you by me,
Daigo Minamikokubaru.
**[03:47] Dai**
And now, for our very first event,
**[03:50] ---**
we have the bread eating competition!
**[03:52] man**
Get set...
**[04:03] ui**
Zoom...
**[04:16] dai**
She's fast!
**[04:17] dai**
What else did you expect from the girl
**[04:19] ---**
who eats more than she
talks on the phone;
**[04:20] dai**
a person who snacks four times a day?
That's Nakatsugawa for you!
**[04:23] dai**
And let's see how Koumoto's doing...
**[05:01] dai**
The pole has come down because
the poles went up...
**[05:05] dai**
Koumoto has finally cleared the course!
**[05:09] dai**
Now for the girls' 100 meter dash!
**[05:11] dai**
The favorite is Hina Sakai!
**[05:19] Girls**
Oh, she looked at me!
**[05:22] Girls**
No, she didn't;
she was looking at me!
**[05:26] Man**
On your marks.
**[05:28] Man**
Get set.
**[05:39] Girls**
She did it! She won!
**[05:41] Girls**
She's so cool!
**[05:44] Ka**
The girls really do like her.
**[05:54] Man**
Get set...
**[06:15] Tsu**
Oh no...
**[06:26] Tsu**
Huh?
**[06:33] Tsu**
Why?
**[06:35] Girl**
Mugi...
**[06:37] Girl2**
I guess she's just a
little too... curvy.
**[06:39] dai**
The junior high mixed-gender ball toss has begun!
**[06:44] dai**
Until last year, the red team has
always dominated this event.
**[06:47] dai**
Who will be victorious this year?
**[06:51] Ka**
Ayumu!
**[06:52] Ka**
Go get 'em!
**[06:58] Ka**
You don't have to wave.
**[07:07] Man**
Get set...
**[07:09] Dai**
Next, we've got the scavenger hunt!
**[07:11] Dai**
In this game, the players have
to follow the instructions
**[07:14] ---**
on their cards to win.
**[07:15] Dai**
What will each player's
card demand of them?!
***SIGN*** Big Breasts
**[07:20] Ka**
Big breasts...
**[07:31] Ka**
Oh yeah, Madoka.
**[07:37] Ka**
Madoka, could you-
**[07:47] Ka**
I forgot:
**[07:49] ---**
she's got her male phobia.
**[07:55] Ka**
So, what's next?
**[07:57] Ui**
The archery club is going
to give a demonstration.
**[07:59] Ka**
The archery club?
So that means...
**[08:01] Ui**
Yeah!
**[08:05] Ui**
Ibuki is their representative!
**[08:14] Dai**
And now, we will see
**[08:16] ---**
an archery demonstration,
performed by the
**[08:17] ---**
Archery Club's Ibuki Hinata!
**[08:37] kazu**
Is that okay?
**[08:39] kazu**
Sharing the bottle would be
like an indirect kiss...
**[08:47] Hi**
No, no. I can't let my mind wander.
**[08:50] Hi**
I have to concentrate.
**[09:03] Hi**
It's your fault!
**[09:07] A**
What's wrong?
**[09:09] Ka**
Nothing. A shiver just
ran down my spine...
**[09:14] Mom**
Ui, we're over here.
**[09:16] UI**
Mom! Dad!
**[09:18] UI**
Mom, these two are-
**[09:20] Mom**
Why don't you sit down first?
**[09:23] Ka**
Thank you.
**[09:26] Mom**
You're Kazuma, right?
**[09:28] Ka**
Yes. I'm Kazuma Hoshino.
**[09:32] Mom**
I guess you really do
look a bit like Hajime.
**[09:38] Mom**
Hajime is the name of our son.
**[09:41] Mom**
Ui's clung to him since
she's was a little girl.
**[09:44] Ui**
Mom, you're embarrassing me!
**[09:46] Mom**
And you're his little brother Ayumu?
**[09:48] A**
Yes.
**[09:50] Mom**
Well, you better keep a
firm grip on your brother,
**[09:53] ---**
if you don't want Ui to steal him.
**[09:55] A**
What?
**[09:56] Ui**
Geez, Mom!!
**[10:01] Mom**
Where's Ibuki?
**[10:02] Ui**
She has to change,
**[10:03] ---**
so she told us to go ahead
and start without her.
**[10:08] Ui**
And Daigo has to do some
things as the announcer.
**[10:12] ---**
Okay.
**[10:13] Mom**
Well then, let's unveil your
special athletic festival lunch!
**[10:19] Mom**
The first tier is
something for the eyes:
**[10:22] ---**
a colorful assortment of side-dishes.
**[10:25] Mom**
For the second tier,
**[10:27] ---**
we have meat-centric side
dishes to fill you up.
**[10:30] Mom**
The last tier
**[10:31] ---**
Amazing
**[10:31] ---**
is crammed full of assorted rice balls
**[10:32] Mom**
with sour plum, salted roe,
bonito flakes and salmon!
**[10:38] Mom**
But wait, there's more!
**[10:39] ---**
A completely identical set!
**[10:43] Ka**
Is this the shopping network or what?
**[10:44] Sis**
Our lunch is just as good!
**[10:47] A**
Sis!
**[10:48] Sis**
This is a special Yorozuyo lunch box.
**[10:51] Sis**
I brought it over for you.
**[10:58] Mom**
Madoka, we brought your
favorite: sweet inari sushi!
**[11:03] Ma**
There's so many!
**[11:04] Mom**
I tried to make a lot for
the athletic festival.
**[11:13] A**
Isn't this nice?
**[11:18] Ka**
It sure is.
***SIGN*** A Bridge To the Starry Skies

The Mothers' Bum Sumo Battle!
**[11:40] dai**
The mothers are giving their best!
**[11:42] dai**
Still in!
**[11:45] dai**
Her bum is still in!
**[11:50] dai**
Now that our mothers' bum sumo
**[11:52] ---**
competition has come to a close,
**[11:54] dai**
it's the event you've all been waiting for.
**[11:57] dai**
It's time to start the Hikonan Race!
**[12:03] dai**
Before we start,
let's first introduce the key runners.
**[12:10] dai**
Her stomach is as big as her dreams...
**[12:12] ---**
representing the Backpipe,
**[12:13] dai**
we've got Ui Nakatsugawa!
**[12:17] Man**
Go get 'em, Ui!
**[12:19] Ui**
If I win, I want an extra
large Jumbo Parfait!
**[12:24] Dai**
Next, representing the
Sakai Liquor Store,
**[12:27] ---**
we've got the cool beauty Hina Sakai!
**[12:33] Dad**
Hina, don't you dare lose!
**[12:37] Hi**
This is so embarrassing.
**[12:40] Dai**
Next, representing the
Yamagen Plant Shop
**[12:43] ---**
as a last-minute entry,
we've got Koyori Toudou!
**[12:50] Dai**
Now one of our most
talked-about entries,
**[12:53] Dai**
representing Yorozuyo,
**[12:55] ---**
our transfer student from
the big city, Kazuma Hoshino!
**[13:01] Sis**
Kazuma!
**[13:03] Sis**
Here's your chance
**[13:04] ---**
to show off all the special
training you did!
**[13:07] Ka**
Sis, what are you talking about?
**[13:09] A**
Good luck, big brother!
**[13:15] A**
Rah, rah, Kazuma!
**[13:18] A**
Knock 'em dead, Kazuma!
**[13:20] A**
Yeah!
**[13:23] Ka**
Ayumu, why are you wearing that?!
**[13:25] A**
Daigo said that cheering
you on in this outfit
**[13:28] ---**
would really perk up
your fighting spirit.
**[13:39] Ka**
Daigo!
**[13:42] Dai**
No, you see... I...
**[13:48] Dai**
Huh?
**[13:51] Ka**
Good job!
**[13:54] Guy**
On your mark.
**[13:57] Guy**
Get set.
**[14:05] Dai**
And the horses are...
**[14:06] Dai**
What am I saying?
Our runners have started off!
**[14:13] Dai**
And now, let's connect to
our reporter, Kasane Toudou.
**[14:18] Dai**
Miss Kasane, can you
hear me? Miss Kasane?
**[14:21] Ka**
Yes! My name is Kasane Toudou.
**[14:25] Ka**
I'm standing at the
very first checkpoint,
**[14:27] ---**
where runners will be receiving
their first assignment.
**[14:32] Ka**
Participants will be required
**[14:34] ---**
to finish off 30 bowls of the
**[14:36] Ka**
Azuki Palace's famous
sweet red-bean soup.
**[14:39] Dai**
You don't say!
**[14:40] ---**
So for their first assignment,
**[14:41] ---**
they'll have to eat 30 bowls
of sweet red-bean soup!
**[14:46] Dai**
Now, according to our report,
**[14:47] ---**
Nakatsugawa had bet on the
competitive eating part
**[14:50] Dai**
of the race to be ramen
and secretly practiced,
**[14:53] Dai**
but it looks like she was
barking up the wrong tree!
**[14:57] Man**
Ui...
**[14:58] Dad**
Mom, do you think Ui's going to be okay?
**[15:01] Mom**
Of course she is!
**[15:03] Ka**
This is incredible!
**[15:04] Ka**
Nakatsugawa has finished the
**[15:05] ---**
30 bowls of red-bean soup in an instant!
**[15:08] Ka**
I'm seeing her do it with my own eyes,
**[15:10] ---**
yet I can't even begin to comprehend
**[15:11] Ka**
where she's putting all this food!
**[15:14] Mom**
Told ya.
**[15:23] Ka**
Hello and sorry to keep you waiting!
**[15:26] Ka**
I'm Kasane Toudou,
**[15:27] ---**
reporting now from the
second checkpoint!
**[15:30] Ka**
Here we have a special pool,
**[15:32] ---**
filled with eels provided
by the downtown
**[15:36] ---**
"Unagin" Eel shop.
**[15:40] Ka**
Our runners won't be
**[15:41] ---**
able to move on
**[15:44] ---**
until they have caught ten eels.
**[15:46] Dai**
Unbelievable!
**[15:48] ---**
So the next task is eel catching?!
**[15:51] Dai**
All eels caught will later
be enjoyed by the staff.
**[15:58] Ka**
I don't think I want to eat anything
sweet again for a *LONG* time.
**[16:02] Ka**
That weeded out a lot of guys.
**[16:11] Girl**
Oh no, I'm soaking wet!
**[16:13] Girl2**
Eek, an eel just went up my shirt!
**[16:19] Ka**
Hey Ui! Where are you going?
**[16:21] Ui**
Why don't you ask this eel?!
**[16:25] Ka**
Classic Ui...
**[16:29] Ka**
Our runners are all struggling
**[16:30] ---**
to capture their eels at checkpoint two,
**[16:33] Ka**
but it looks like Toudou has no trouble
**[16:35] ---**
with her exquisite technique!
**[16:38] Ka**
She honed her skills by
**[16:42] Ka**
catching loaches in
the rice paddies and
**[16:44] ---**
eating them raw as a snack.
**[16:45] Ko**
I never did that!!
**[16:51] Ko**
All right! Now, I've just
got to stay in the lead.
**[16:54] Ka**
At checkpoint three,
**[16:56] ---**
our runners will be putting on costumes!
**[17:00] Ka**
Your costume is determined
by the card you draw.
**[17:04] Ka**
We can't wait to see
**[17:06] ---**
what our runners will be
coming back dressed as!
**[17:12] Ka**
It looks like our current lead
runner Toudou's costume is...
**[17:17] Ka**
a wedding dress!
**[17:20] Ko**
Why did I have to get a costume
**[17:22] ---**
that's so hard to run in?
**[17:26] Ka**
What?
**[17:27] Ka**
It looks like most of our runners have
**[17:29] ---**
reached checkpoint three.
**[17:31] Ka**
They've changed into
various costumes, but...
**[17:34] Ka**
What's this?! Nakatsugawa!
That's a... that's a...
**[17:55] HI**
That's so cute.
**[17:57] HI**
I want to squeeze it.
**[18:10] UI**
She's making weird noises!
**[18:19] Ko**
If I can make it-
**[18:20] Ko**
If I can make it to the finish line,
**[18:22] ---**
I can keep my promise to Keita.
**[18:24] Ko**
I can make him better again!
**[18:27] Ko**
Almost, only a little bit...
**[18:48] Ko**
I'm almost there...
**[18:50] Ko**
I'm almost there...
**[19:02] Ka**
What's wrong?
**[19:10] Ka**
Hey! Are you all right?
**[19:11] Ko**
I'm fine!
**[19:13] Ka**
Did you hurt your leg?
**[19:18] Ka**
Oh no, what happened?
**[19:19] Ka**
You can't run on that.
**[19:22] Ka**
You should quit.
**[19:23] Ko**
Never!
**[19:24] Ka**
Why not?
**[19:26] Ko**
Because I made a promise to Keita.
**[19:29] Ka**
Keita?
**[19:30] Ka**
Oh... is Keita Gengoro's grandson?
**[19:33] Ko**
I told him that I'd
win the Hikonan Race.
**[19:36] Ko**
If I win, he promised to feel better,
**[19:39] Ko**
and go into his operation feeling good,
**[19:41] ---**
and beat this sickness!
**[19:50] Ka**
I understand.
**[19:52] Ka**
Then I'll let you lean on my
shoulder until the finish line.
**[19:55] Ko**
Don't be an idiot!
**[19:56] Ko**
Do you think I could be victorious,
coming in arm and arm with my enemy?!
**[19:58] Ka**
This is not the time
to be saying that.
**[20:00] Ko**
No!
**[20:03] Ko**
I'm going to make it to
the finish line myself
**[20:05] ---**
and then Keita...
**[20:08] Ui**
Why is she chasing me?!
**[20:11] Ka**
We've got to do something!
**[20:16] Ko**
What are you doing?
**[20:17] Ka**
Just shut up and trust me!
**[20:19] Ka**
You want to win, don't you?
**[20:21] Ka**
You want to win for Keita,
no matter what, right?!
**[20:25] Ka**
Just trust me on this one.
**[20:38] Dai**
And heeeeeeeeere they come!!!!
**[20:39] Dai**
Who do we have in the lead?
**[20:43] A**
It's my brother!
**[20:50] Dai**
I can't believe it! Hoshino is
running with Toudou in his arms!
**[20:55] Dai**
And, and, and...
**[20:57] Dai**
They officially finished!
**[21:06] Dai**
And now, I'd like to announce
**[21:08] ---**
the staff's verdict for the race.
**[21:11] Dai**
According to our photos,
**[21:13] ---**
a part of Toudou's body
reached the tape first,
**[21:18] Dai**
putting her in first place,
**[21:20] ---**
with Hoshino in second place.
**[21:29] Rep**
And as you all know,
**[21:31] ---**
it was time once again for
the annual Hikonan Race.
**[21:35] Rep**
I wonder which store won this year?
**[21:38] Rep**
We've got our reporter
Kyouko covering the story.
**[21:42] Rep**
Kyouko?
**[21:43] Kyo**
I'm here!

If you could tell us your name and

**[22:01] Ko**
Keita, are you watching this?!
**[22:03] Ko**
I won, just like I promised I would!
**[22:05] Ko**
Now you've got to feel your best
**[22:07] ---**
and kick that sickness in the rear!
**[22:11] Kei**
I will!

Koumoto's mother won at
the Mothers' Bum Sumo.
**[23:59] girL**
What would you say lead you to victory?
**[24:00] kou**
I think it was the fact that I knew
that my biggest ass-versary is myself.
**[24:04] girl**
And a word from the runner-up,
Mrs. Minamikokubaru.
**[24:08] min**
I think I was simply
not ass-ertive enough.
**[24:12] girl**
Oh no, it's already

**[00:21] Mado**
This is where Kazuma and Nakatsugawa...
**[02:04] kazu**
Final exams? What's that?
**[02:07] kazu**
Is that a custom around here?
**[02:10] Ui**
You mean you don't have
**[02:11] ---**
final exams in the city schools?!
**[02:13] ibu**
You don't have to believe
everything he says.
**[02:16] ibu**
You act like you're on top of things
**[02:18] ---**
to be fooling around like that,
**[02:19] ---**
but are you really okay?
**[02:21] kazu**
Well, probably... maybe.
**[02:24] ibu**
So that means no.
**[02:26] kazu**
Well...
**[02:27] ---**
The move's been so hectic
**[02:29] ---**
that I haven't really been
able to focus on school.
**[02:32] ibu**
Then now's the time to get it together.
**[02:36] ibu**
You're looking at
mandatory summer school
**[02:38] ---**
if you do badly on the final exams.
**[02:40] kazu**
Really?
**[02:42] Ui**
That's right!
**[02:43] kazu**
Well, I really wouldn't want to waste my
**[02:45] ---**
precious summer vacation with that.
**[02:47] Ui**
Which is why I'm getting
tutored by Ibuki.
**[02:51] kazu**
You're good at school, Hinata?
**[02:53] ibu**
Why are you acting so shocked?
**[02:56] kazu**
I just thought you were
too involved in your club
**[02:59] ---**
to pay much attention to school work.
**[03:01] ibu**
How rude!
**[03:02] ---**
I'm like a swan, you know.
**[03:04] ---**
I make it seem effortless.
**[03:06] kazu**
I see.
**[03:07] ---**
You're paddling hard to not sink,
**[03:09] ---**
but nobody can see
because it's underwater.
**[03:10] Dai**
But that's not actually how it works.
**[03:13] Dai**
Where did you just come from?
**[03:15] Dai**
Swans apparently have
**[03:16] ---**
an oil-gland near their rear end,
**[03:18] Dai**
and they use the secreted
oil to repel the water
**[03:21] ---**
and gather air around them.
**[03:23] Ui**
Really?
**[03:25] kazu**
So then,
**[03:27] ---**
is Hinata secreting oil out of her butt?
**[03:30] ibu**
Of course not, you idiot!
**[03:33] Dai**
Well, enough about that!
**[03:34] Dai**
I've got a special
strategy for all of you,
**[03:37] ---**
regarding the final exams.

When the Bucket Drops
**[03:48] Sis**
You want everyone to spend the night
**[03:49] ---**
and have a study-session.
**[03:52] Sis**
All right. Approved.
**[03:54] kazu**
Are you sure that's okay?
**[03:56] Sis**
We don't have any guests
in the old wing anyway,
**[03:59] ---**
and who can say no to
an academic pursuit?
**[04:06] koyo**
I have a request!
**[04:08] kazu**
Koyori, this isn't a dojo raid...
**[04:12] koyo**
Kazuma Hoshino, we came to study!
**[04:15] kazu**
Looks like your leg is all better.
**[04:18] koyo**
Yup, it's totally fine!
**[04:20] Tsu**
I'm sorry for being late.
**[04:23] kazu**
I should apologize for
**[04:25] ---**
making you tutor us all for the exams.
**[04:28] Tsu**
Don't worry about it.
**[04:30] Tsu**
Tutoring others is a good
chance for me to review.
**[04:32] Tsu**
It's also a good chance to make
**[04:34] ---**
sure these two are actually studying.
**[04:39] Dai**
They finally made it!
**[04:40] Ui**
Hello!
**[04:41] Tsu**
Sorry we're late.
**[04:43] Dai**
No problem.
**[04:45] Ui**
Madoka, you came too!
**[04:48] Ui**
Yes. Koyori invited me to come study.
**[04:54] Dai**
Well then! It looks
like everyone is here,
**[04:57] ---**
so why don't we get started?
**[04:58] Tsu**
Wait!
**[05:00] ---**
There's one more person coming.
**[05:11] hina**
Sorry.
**[05:13] hina**
I'm so sorry.
**[05:16] hina**
I shouldn't have.
**[05:18] hina**
My apologies.
**[05:20] hina**
I still haven't apologized
for that time.
**[05:27] hina**
Don't mock me!
**[05:29] hina**
I thought this study session
would be a good opportunity.
**[05:32] hina**
If I see Hoshino,
I'll tell him I'm sorry.
**[05:37] hina**
Hello?
**[05:39] Ayu**
Yes!
**[05:47] Ayu**
Welcome!
**[05:52] Tsu**
You're finally here!
**[05:54] Tsu**
Hurry up and come on in.
**[05:58] Tsu**
Everyone's waiting for you.
**[06:04] Tsu**
Oh yeah... you haven't
met before, have you?
**[06:07] Tsu**
This is Ayumu Hoshino.
**[06:08] ---**
He's Kazuma's little brother.
**[06:10] Tsu**
He's the one who was cheering his
**[06:12] ---**
brother on in a cheerleading
outfit at the athletic festival.
**[06:16] hina**
A good kid who's good to his brother.
**[06:24] Ayu**
Umm...
**[06:27] Tsu**
Looks like you've taken a liking to Ayumu, Hina.
**[06:40] Dai**
All right! Let the study session
for the final exams begin!
**[06:45] Dai**
Yeah!
**[06:49] ibu**
Hey, Ui!
**[06:50] ui**
What?
**[06:52] Dai**
All right, once again,
let the study session begin!
**[06:59] ibu**
Ui...!
**[07:01] Ui**
Oh, come on!
**[07:04] Tsu**
Ui, you can have a snack later,
**[07:06] ---**
but right now you should study.
**[07:08] Ui**
Fine.
**[07:13] Tsu**
For x + 3 = 8,
**[07:16] ---**
you can just subtract 3
from 8. And then x = 5.
**[07:38] hin**
This is like... this.
**[07:39] hin**
Which is why here... you get this.
**[07:41] Ayu**
Oh, I see.
**[07:53] Tsu**
Is it this late already?
**[07:56] Tsu**
Overdoing it is counterproductive,
**[07:59] ---**
so should we take a
break and have dinner?
**[08:01] Ui**
Dinner?
**[08:02] Tsu**
But before that,
we should all take a bath.
**[08:05] Dai**
A bath... you say?
**[08:09] Dai**
YEAH!!!!!!
**[08:20] Dai**
So, what the hell?
**[08:21] Dai**
The guys and girls are separate?
**[08:23] kazu**
Of course.
**[08:24] Dai**
Look at you, bro!
**[08:25] Dai**
And look at you, bro of my bro!
**[08:27] Dai**
How can you be so calm?!
**[08:29] Dai**
On the other hand I... I...
**[08:32] Dai**
I have been waiting
and expecting and now,
**[08:35] ---**
I don't even have to hold up my bucket!
**[08:37] Ayu**
Wow! It's like magic!
**[08:39] kazu**
That's not something to be impressed by.
**[08:42] Ui**
Oh Madoka, your boobs are so big!
**[08:46] Ui**
Let me touch them a bit.
**[08:48] Mado**
Oh, I don't know if you shou-
**[08:51] koy**
Madoka's are pretty big,
**[08:53] ---**
but Mugi's got the biggest boobs of all.
**[08:55] Tsu**
Koyori! You shouldn't
say things like that.
**[08:58] hin**
But she's right.
Your boobs really are huge.
**[09:01] Tsu**
Hina! Not you too!
**[09:05] Dai**
I was wrong, bro.
**[09:08] kazu**
I know. It's pretty normal for you.
**[09:11] Dai**
I can't just sit around,
pissing and moaning.
**[09:14] Dai**
It's time for me to grow a pair
**[09:16] ---**
and take my third leg out for a walk!
**[09:19] Ayu**
Your third leg?
**[09:22] Dai**
I'm going, bro!
**[09:24] Dai**
I'm going to see the unseen
dreams of Shangri-La!
**[09:34] koyo**
Gotcha!
**[09:42] Dai**
My eyes! My EYES!
**[09:46] koyo**
I knew exactly what you were thinking!
**[09:53] Mado**
Koyori...
**[09:54] kasa**
You ought to cover yourself...
***SIGN*** A Bridge To the Starry Skies
***SIGN*** Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi
**[10:07] Girls**
Take that!
**[10:08] Girls**
And that!
**[10:09] Girls**
Take that!
**[10:14] koyo**
How do you like that?
**[10:15] ibu**
Hey, stop that!
**[10:24] kasa**
That's good!
**[10:25] kasa**
Yeah, that's great!
**[10:29] Ui**
I'm not losing this round of boob-sumo!
**[10:32] Mado**
Come on, then!
**[10:39] Mado**
Ouch!
**[10:49] Tsu**
The boob sponge is all ready now!
**[10:52] Tsu**
Who wants a sponge bath first?
**[10:56] Dai**
I bet that's what they're
doing over there.
**[10:59] kazu**
I don't think so.
**[11:01] Dai**
Why do I gotta be over on this side,
**[11:03] ---**
washing your dirty back?
**[11:05] kazu**
I'm sorry it's dirty.
**[11:07] Dai**
Hey bro, is there no secret
passageway connecting
**[11:10] ---**
the women's bath to the men's bath?
**[11:12] kazu**
Of course there isn't!
**[11:15] kazu**
But there is an employee
entrance by the garden wall.
**[11:19] Dai**
That's it!
**[11:22] Dai**
There it is.
**[11:25] Dai**
There's no reason to risk trying
**[11:26] ---**
to peek over the wall when
**[11:28] ---**
you can just sneak in here.
**[11:42] Ui**
This really hits the spot after a bath!
**[11:47] Tsu**
This feels so good.
**[11:57] koyo**
Madoka, here I go!
**[11:59] Mado**
Okay!
**[12:16] koyo**
You're pretty good!
**[12:24] koyo**
Now take this!
**[12:32] Mado**
Where is it?
**[12:34] kazu**
Umm... the ping pong ball... is right there.
**[12:44] kazu**
Koumoto wins!
**[12:46] kazu**
What?!
**[12:57] Mado**
Wow!
**[12:59] kasa**
I guess there's a reason that
Yamabiko is famous for these.
**[13:08] Ayu**
Kazuma!
**[13:09] Ayu**
There're fireflies down by the river!
**[13:12] Ayu**
Let's go see them!
**[13:14] kazu**
All right.
**[13:16] kazu**
Let's go, Ui.
**[13:17] Ui**
I'm... good for now.
**[13:19] Ui**
I'm going to stay here for a bit.
**[13:23] kazu**
But...
**[13:24] Ayu**
Come on! Hurry up!
**[13:27] kazu**
Coming right away!
**[13:39] Ui**
Fireflies, huh?
**[13:48] Dad**
Hajime is lucky to have
such a beautiful fiancé.
**[13:52] Fian**
Oh... really...
**[13:55] Dad**
No, we were really surprised.
**[13:57] Mom**
Ui, stop being so quiet.
**[14:01] Mom**
Introduce yourself to Kuriko.
**[14:05] Mom**
What is wrong with you?
**[14:06] Mom**
Hurry up and introduce yourself!
**[14:09] Mom**
Ui!
**[14:10] Mom**
Where are you going?
**[14:19] Ui**
He's an idiot.
**[14:22] Ibu**
I knew I'd find you here.
**[14:25] Ibu**
What's wrong?
**[14:28] Ibu**
Your mom's looking for you.
**[14:33] Ui**
That day, Ibuki
**[14:35] ---**
stayed with me in the lookout the entire time.
**[14:41] Ui**
She listened to me
**[14:42] ---**
until the sun went down
**[14:45] ---**
and as I talked, I calmed
down more and more.
**[14:50] Ui**
I was shocked when I heard
**[14:52] ---**
my brother was going to get married.
**[14:54] Ui**
I felt like he was
getting snatched away.
**[14:56] Ui**
But then I realized that
what I did wasn't right.
**[15:01] Mom**
Where have you been?
**[15:03] Mom**
We've been looking for you everywhere!
**[15:04] Ui**
Mom, where's Hajime!
**[15:06] Ui**
Hajime took Kuriko to
the river by Yorozuyo
**[15:10] ---**
to show her the fireflies.
**[15:12] Ui**
Ui, wait!
**[15:17] Ui**
I thought I'd go and apologize
**[15:22] ---**
and then congratulate them.
**[15:40] Ui**
Haji...
**[16:19] Ui**
In the end, I couldn't say
**[16:23] ---**
"Congratulations",
even at their wedding.
**[16:27] Tsu**
Ui.
**[16:29] Tsu**
Dinner is ready, so can you
please call everyone in?
**[16:33] Ui**
Okay.
**[16:37] all**
Yum.
**[16:42] all**
This is good.
**[16:45] Ayu**
Sis, can I have more rice?
**[16:47] Sis**
Your appetite has gotten so much better!
**[16:50] Ayu**
I feel like food tastes better now.
**[16:52] Sis**
It's a sign that you're healthy!
**[16:55] Sis**
We've got plenty more,
so eat all you want!
**[16:58] Ui**
Thank you. I'm done.
**[17:01] sis**
Are you sure?
**[17:03] Ui**
I guess I don't have much
of an appetite today.
**[17:07] Tsu**
Oh really?
**[17:27] Tsu**
It looks like she's at her limit.
**[17:41] Tsu**
Let's call it a day.
**[17:45] Tsu**
You should go to bed early today
**[17:48] ---**
and then wake up early tomorrow.
**[17:49] Tsu**
We'll go back to studying
in the cool morning hours!
**[17:56] koyo**
Doesn't sleeping together like this
**[17:58] ---**
remind you of a school trip?
**[18:00] koyo**
It's so much fun!
**[18:01] Tsu**
It looks like you were
only too tired to study!
**[18:06] Ibu**
Huh? Are you changing, Kasane?
**[18:09] kazu**
Yeah. I mean, I like yukata fine,
**[18:11] ---**
but I brought my favorite pajamas.
**[18:18] kazu**
Tada!
**[18:20] Ibu**
Wow, that's really cute!
**[18:22] kasa**
Yeah, huh?
**[18:24] kasa**
I feel like I can't really
fall asleep without them.
**[18:28] Dai**
So bro...
**[18:30] kazu**
What?
**[18:32] kazu**
Tell me why I'm sleeping next to a bro,
**[18:36] ---**
when there are also seven
girls under this roof?
**[18:40] kazu**
How should I know?
**[18:41] kazu**
But then, what did you expect?
**[18:42] Dai**
This is outrageous!
**[18:44] Dai**
How can I possibly
fall asleep like this?
**[18:47] Dai**
Just a short distance away
**[18:49] ---**
are seven girls comparing
**[18:51] ---**
the sensitivity of their breasts and
**[18:53] Dai**
showing each other their underwear!
**[18:57] kazu**
No, you're the outrageous one.
**[18:59] Dai**
Bro, I'm outta here!
**[19:02] Dai**
I'm off on that age-old adventure,
**[19:03] ---**
that quest of creeping into
a girl's room at night!
**[19:06] kazu**
Are you serious?
**[19:07] Dai**
Dead serious.
**[19:35] Mado**
It's very delicious if you
put honey on sweet red beans.
**[19:51] Mado**
Kazu! What are you doing here?
**[19:54] kazu**
What do you mean?
I was going to the bathroom.
**[19:57] kazu**
What are you doing here?
**[19:59] Ui**
I was... well...
**[20:02] ---**
I couldn't really sleep,
so... that is to say...
**[20:13] kazu**
I knew it!
**[20:15] Ui**
You knew what, exactly?
**[20:17] Ui**
Anyway, you don't have to laugh at me!
**[20:32] Ui**
Here you go.
**[20:36] Ui**
Where did these come from?
**[20:38] kazu**
Tsumugi thought you might wake up
**[20:40] ---**
in the middle of the
night and be hungry,
**[20:43] kazu**
so she made them for you
from the leftover rice.
***SIGN*** Ui, you can eat these if you get hungry.
**[20:53] kazu**
Hurry up and eat
**[20:56] ---**
before your stomach's
growling wakes everyone up.
**[21:30] Ui**
The moon is so beautiful.
**[21:33] kazu**
Yeah.
**[21:35] ---**
It's so bright though,
**[21:37] ---**
you can't really see the stars.
**[21:39] kazu**
On the night of the festival,
a bridge of stars appears, right?
**[21:44] Ui**
Oh yeah. That's the
legend of the Twin Peaks.
**[21:47] Ui**
But the bridge of stars
**[21:49] ---**
only appears when the hearts
**[21:51] ---**
of the god and the goddess are united.
**[21:56] kazu**
Oh, really?
**[22:11] kazu**
I'd really like to see that...
**[22:17] kazu**
A bridge in the starry skies...
**[23:56] kaz**

The Pink Nyanbobo
**[24:00] ayu**
What's a nyanbobo?
**[24:03] kaz**
No idea.
**[24:04] ui**
Kazu, you don't know what a nyanbobo is?
**[24:06] ibu**
You should study more if
you don't know nyanbobo.
**[24:09] sis**
It's surprising that you
don't know nyanbobo.
**[24:11] mado**
Nyanbobo is quite famous here.
**[24:14] hina**
Nyanbobo's cute...
**[24:16] koy**
Nyanbobo, nyanbobo!
**[24:18] kaz**
Maybe the sole purpose of this preview
**[24:20] ---**
is to make us say nyanbobo.

Our teacher's an idiot!
**[00:13] Ui**
I hate homework!
***SIGN*** Episode 7
***SIGN*** The Pink Nyanbobo
**[02:13] kaz**
It's over!
**[02:19] dai**
It is over, and I'm over.
**[02:23] kaz**
You're already feeling like you failed?
**[02:25] Ui**
Yeah, Daigo!
**[02:27] Ui**
The time until the grades come in is
**[02:29] ---**
when you can have the most fun.
**[02:31] Ui**
Being depressed would be a total waste.
**[02:33] kaz**
I'm not sure if that's the
best way to look at it...
**[02:37] dai**
You're right.
**[02:38] dai**
I guess you're right.
**[02:41] dai**
Let's kick it up a notch
and go all out in Honchou!
**[02:46] Ui**
Yay, agreed!
**[02:48] Ui**
Kazu, you're coming too, right?
**[02:49] kaz**
Sure, but where's Honchou?
**[02:51] Ui**
It's two stops away from Yamabiko.
**[02:55] dai**
It's the biggest city around here,
**[02:58] ---**
it's where most people go on days off
**[02:59] dai**
to have fun or do some shopping.
**[03:03] kaz**
Sounds like Shibuya or Harajuku.
**[03:05] Ui**
Shibu... what?
**[03:07] Ui**
Is that something tasty?
**[03:11] dai**
Anyway, we can all celebrate
our finals being over!
**[03:15] dai**
Let's go have some fun!
**[03:17] ibu**
I'm going to pass.
**[03:19] ibu**
I've got archery club starting at noon.
**[03:22] Ui**
Oh...
**[03:23] Ui**
I guess the ban on club
activities is lifted
**[03:25] ---**
now that finals are over?
**[03:26] ibu**
Yup.
**[03:27] ibu**
We have a meet soon,
**[03:30] ---**
so I have to focus on practicing.
**[03:32] ibu**
Later.
**[03:33] Ui**
Okay.
**[03:34] kaz**
Yeah.
**[03:44] Hibu**
I didn't apologize during
the study session either.
**[03:49] Hibu**
Don't mock me!
**[03:51] Hibu**
I really need to apologize for that this time.
**[04:03] Tsu**
There she is.
**[04:05] ---**
It looks like we're all here.
**[04:07] dai**
Then let's go!
**[04:09] Hibu**
Where's Hoshino's little brother?
**[04:11] Hibu**
And where's Hinata?
**[04:14] Ui**
Ibuki said she has to meet
with her archery club,
**[04:17] Ui**
and I'm not sure what
happened to Ayumu...
**[04:20] kaz**
He said he
**[04:21] ---**
already promised to go
sketching with his art club today.
**[04:26] Tsu**
It's good that Ayumu
has found some friends
**[04:29] ---**
he can go out with.
**[04:30] koy**
That's right, Kazuma Hoshino!
**[04:32] koy**
You can't smother your
little brother forever.
**[04:35] kaz**
Says the girl who still
asks our big sister
**[04:39] ---**
to sew her buttons on
when they get loose.
**[04:41] koy**
Oh, shut up!
**[04:43] koy**
That happened one time!
**[04:45] Saibu**
So I guess Hoshino's little
brother isn't coming.
**[04:48] Saibu**
Bummer.
**[04:50] dai**
Yes. Yes.
**[04:52] dai**
I understand.
**[04:53] dai**
Yes, thank you.
**[04:54] Ui**
What did they say?
**[04:56] dai**
They said we'd have to wait two hours
**[04:57] ---**
for a karaoke booth
for this many people.
**[04:59] Ui**
What?! Two hours?!
**[05:02] dai**
You don't have to get
all worked up about it.
**[05:05] dai**
Let's go kill some time at the arcade.
**[05:21] kaz**
Looks like I win again!
**[05:26] koy**
Kazuma Hoshino!
**[05:27] koy**
It looks like I'll have to
challenge you in real life.
**[05:29] koy**
Come outside so we can wrestle!
**[05:31] kaz**
Yeah right!
**[05:41] Girl**
Kasane's so good!
**[05:46] kaz**
I did it!
**[05:47] kaz**
Do you want to go next?
**[05:50] mado**
I couldn't, I'm really
bad at these things.
**[05:53] kaz**
It's really easy though.
**[05:55] kaz**
You just have to step on
the panel that lights up.
**[05:58] mado**
But...
**[06:00] kaz**
Look, it's already starting!
**[06:03] mado**
But...
**[06:03] kaz**
Come on, hurry up!
**[06:06] mado**
Like this?
**[06:13] mado**
Am I doing okay?
**[06:17] kaz**
Yeah!
**[06:18] kaz**
You're really good!
**[06:19] kaz**
Keep it up!
**[06:34] mado**
Kasane, I don't know...
if this is for me...
**[06:49] Ui**
Not again!
**[06:53] kaz**
"Love at Mount Liang Academy"?
**[06:55] kaz**
What the hell is this?
**[06:56] dai**
What does it look like?
**[06:58] ---**
Strip mahjong.
**[06:59] dai**
You play against 36 beautiful
transfer students
**[07:02] ---**
and make them take it all off.
**[07:05] dai**
Any girl you completely
strip becomes your ally
**[07:07] dai**
and you can use her special powers
**[07:10] ---**
in the subsequent matches.
**[07:12] dai**
There's my tile!
**[07:13] ---**
Tsumo! It's a baiman!
***SIGN*** "Tsumo": Yelled when you pull the winning tile for your hand.
"Baiman" is a valuable hand.
***SIGN*** Youshi (Yang Zhi) Seimenjuu (Blue Faced Beast)
***SIGN*** Riki (Li Kui) Kokusenpuu (Black Whirlwind)
**[07:17] dai**
All right, my little Shishin!
**[07:18] dai**
Let me see how that Kumon dragon tattoo
**[07:21] ---**
wraps itself around your body.
***SIGN*** Mahjong
***SIGN*** Kumonryuu (Nine Tattooed Dragons) Shishin
**[07:35] dai**
Awesome.
**[07:36] kaz**
Th-this is quite...
**[07:38] dai**
Go on, go on!
**[07:40] kaz**
This is pretty risky though...
**[07:41] dai**
You got that right!
**[07:43] kaz**
Is it okay to keep watching?
**[07:54] Ui**
Why?! Why can I never get it?
**[07:57] kaz**
What's wrong, Ui?
**[07:59] Ui**
I can't get one of these!
**[08:02] Ui**
I'm going to get more change.
**[08:06] kaz**
I guess I can give it a try.
**[08:09] kaz**
Oh!
**[08:12] kaz**
Wait a minute.
**[08:12] ---**
This is the same thing that she had
**[08:15] ---**
on her bag...
**[08:17] dai**
Hey, you got a Bobopin!
**[08:20] kaz**
What's a Bobopin?
**[08:21] dai**
It's the local cheapo mascot.
**[08:22] dai**
Nyanbobo's pink version.
**[08:24] ---**
Or in short, Bobopin.
**[08:26] dai**
The crane machine is
**[08:27] ---**
apparently the only place to get one.
**[08:29] dai**
They're pretty rare, you know.
**[08:30] kaz**
Huh.
**[08:32] kaz**
Who would've thought?
**[08:34] ui**
Excuse me, Kazu.
**[08:41] kaz**
You know, Ui...
**[08:42] kaz**
You could just buy those Yummy sticks
**[08:44] ---**
and it would be a lot cheaper.
**[08:47] kaz**
Huh? What's this?
**[08:49] kaz**
It looks like your child's
development changes
**[08:51] ---**
according to how you
respond to the quiz.
**[08:55] Tsu**
So let's try to raise our
child the best we can.
**[09:02] kaz**
Our... child?
**[09:06] kaz**
Yes!
**[09:07] kaz**
I'll try my best!
**[09:08] Tsu**
Failure is the mother of...
**[09:11] Tsu**
The answer is c: "success."
***SIGN*** Seikou (success) is a homonym for sex.
**[09:14] kaz**
S-sex?
**[09:16] Tsu**
The haiku poet Kyoshi Takahama
coined the term descriptive...
**[09:20] Tsu**
The answer is sketching.
**[09:21] Tsu**
Objective sketching.
***SIGN*** Shasei is a homonym for ejaculation.
**[09:25] kaz**
Ejaculation?
**[09:27] Tsu**
Dead ball in Japanese would be...
**[09:31] Tsu**
Is this "shikyuu"?
***SIGN*** Shikyuu is a homonym for womb.
**[09:36] kaz**
In her womb!
**[09:38] Tsu**
Is something wrong, Kazuma?
**[09:40] Tsu**
You've been acting kind of funny...
**[09:43] kaz**
Oh no, I'm fine!
**[09:45] kaz**
I've just got to use the bathroom.
**[09:47] Tsu**
Huh?
**[09:52] Hibu**
When we got to the arcade,
**[09:53] ---**
everyone split up and now
they're doing their own thing.
**[09:56] Hibu**
This is my chance to
apologize to Hoshino.
**[09:59] Hibu**
I just need to get him alone.
**[10:06] Hibu**
Hoshino!
**[10:08] kaz**
Oh, that reminds me!
**[10:10] kaz**
Look at this!
**[10:15] Hibu**
It's a Bobopin!
**[10:18] kaz**
You have the same thing, don't you?
**[10:21] kaz**
If you want, you can...
**[10:23] Hibu**
I can have it?!
**[10:24] kaz**
Yes... sure.
**[10:29] Hibu**
Thank you.
**[10:36] dai**
It looks like we finally made it...
**[10:39] dai**
Get ready to have some fun, people!
**[10:42] Ui**
What are we going to eat?
**[10:46] kaz**
Yeah, huh?
**[10:48] dai**
Why don't you pick a song
before you worry about food?!
**[10:51] Ui**
You're right, but they've
got such a great menu here!
**[10:56] Ui**
The HoneyTo is supposed
to be really good here.
**[10:59] kaz**
What's that?
Oh, I see.
**[11:01] kaz**
When they take
thick slices of toast,
**[11:03] ---**
cover it in honey and
**[11:05] kaz**
then top it with ice-cream
and fruit, right?
**[11:10] kaz**
Hey, Ui.
You drooled on the menu.
**[11:13] Ui**
Huh?
**[11:13] Ui**
It wasn't me.
**[11:15] mado**
I'm so sorry.
**[11:18] mado**
It's just that, I can't resist honey...
**[11:21] mado**
I've never heard of
HoneyTo before,
**[11:24] ---**
but just picturing
crispy on the outside,
**[11:27] mado**
soft on the inside toast
covered in hot honey
**[11:29] ---**
and then topped with ice
cream and fruit seemed
**[11:32] mado**
like such a dream-food to me
**[11:35] ---**
that I couldn't help myself.
**[11:42] Song**
I can't stoooopppp...
**[11:47] Song**
Mighty girl, spin and fly away!
**[11:53] Song**
So far that you could reach
the stars in the sky.
**[11:57] Song**
Mighty boy, you miracle...
**[12:00] Song**
Be bold and daring!
**[12:03] Song**
Let's embrace this very moment!

Karaoke
**[12:20] Voice**
Hinata, you're distracted.
**[12:22] Voice**
You have to focus.
**[12:23] Hibu**
Yes.
**[12:32] kaz**
What lookout?
**[12:34] ayu**
Remember when we first came to Yamabiko
**[12:37] ---**
and we got off at the wrong bus stop?
**[12:40] kaz**
Oh, yeah.
**[12:42] ayu**
There's a trail up the mountain close to that stop.
**[12:45] ayu**
The lookout is at the
very top of that trail.
**[12:48] ayu**
The view from there is really pretty.
**[12:50] ---**
The art club went there and sketched
**[12:53] ayu**
and ate lunch
and it was a lot of fun!
**[12:57] kaz**
If it's that nice, I'd like
to see it too sometime.
**[13:00] ayu**
We should go together!
**[13:02] ayu**
That place is great!
***SIGN*** A Bridge To the Starry Skies
***SIGN*** Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi
**[13:23] kaz**
Damn. I got Fs in math and physics.
**[13:26] dai**
Don't let a few Fs pull you down, bro.
**[13:30] kaz**
Well, how did you do?
**[13:32] dai**
I've got Japanese, Japanese
history, and P.E.
**[13:35] kaz**
Three Fs, huh?
**[13:36] dai**
No, those were the three
classes I didn't fail.
**[13:39] kaz**
That's extreme.
**[13:41] dai**
Well, summer classes are a bummer,
**[13:44] ---**
but what's done is done.
**[13:47] Ui**
You're right!
**[13:48] Ui**
There's no reason to get
depressed over two or three
**[13:52] ---**
or four or five or six Fs!
**[13:54] kaz**
Uhm... Maybe you *should* get depressed,
**[13:56] ---**
if you've got that many.
**[13:58] kaz**
So I guess Hinata didn't
fail a single class?
**[14:01] dai**
Yeah.
**[14:02] ---**
She may be flat as a board,
but her grades are good.
**[14:05] kaz**
Not sure what her boobs
have to do with it.
**[14:07] Ui**
Ibuki is really something.
**[14:10] ---**
She's so involved with her club
and her grades are still great.
**[14:12] kaz**
She's been going to the archery club
**[14:13] ---**
every day since finals ended.
**[14:15] dai**
They've got a meet coming up soon.
**[14:18] Ui**
It's actually next Sunday.
**[14:21] kaz**
Right! Then we should
go cheer her on.
**[14:24] Ui**
Yeah!
**[14:27] dai**
What?!
**[14:29] dai**
Tsumugi and Sakai aren't coming?
**[14:32] koy**
Tsumugi has her after school
job at Yorozuyo.
**[14:34] ayu**
And Sakai has to help
in her parents' shop.
**[14:39] dai**
Damn it.
**[14:41] dai**
The boob ratio of this group
has just been slashed in half!
**[14:44] dai**
I guess we'll just have to have
Ui and Madoka fill in the gap-
**[14:52] dai**
Hey!
**[14:53] dai**
Wait for me!
**[15:00] Tsu**
Ibuki's meet should be starting soon.
**[15:05] ibu**
You didn't all have to come down here.
**[15:09] ibu**
It must have taken a long time.
**[15:11] kaz**
Yeah, we didn't think it
would take three transfers
**[15:16] kaz**
and an hour and a half to get here.
**[15:19] Ui**
I guess we missed the
preliminary rounds,
**[15:20] ---**
but we're here for the final!
**[15:23] dai**
Yeah!
**[15:23] ayu**
Ibuki, I'm cheering for you,
so good luck!
**[15:28] ibu**
Thanks, Ayumu!
**[15:30] ibu**
But if you came
to cheer for me,
**[15:33] ibu**
you should wear the outfit
**[15:35] ---**
you wore at the Hikonan Race.
**[15:37] ayu**
Oh, I guess.. that was just
a special one-time thing...
**[15:40] ayu**
And I didn't bring that outfit today.
**[15:46] ibu**
I'm sorry, it was a joke!
**[15:48] ---**
Just a joke.
**[15:50] ayu**
Oh, you.
**[16:31] kaz**
I thought Hinata would be
nervous about the finals,
**[16:34] ---**
but she was totally relaxed, huh?
**[16:36] ayu**
Yeah!
**[16:37] dai**
She's got this one in the bag!
**[16:38] Ui**
But...
**[16:39] kaz**
What's wrong, Ui?
**[16:41] Ui**
I can't really put my finger on it,
**[16:44] ---**
but I feel like she was
trying too hard to be goofy.
**[16:48] kaz**
Huh?
**[17:17] Sak**
Delivering here's always so tough.
**[17:27] Sak**
The archery competition
should have already started.
**[17:38] Sak**
I'll splurge a bit.
**[17:44] Sak**
Good luck, Hinata.
**[17:53] Tsu**
Hinata was really close.
**[17:56] koy**
Yeah! If only that last
arrow had hit the mark!
**[18:00] kaz**
She made it to the last round though.
**[18:02] ---**
That's impressive.
**[18:07] dai**
What's taking her so long?
**[18:09] kaz**
She did tell us to wait for her
**[18:12] ---**
in the lobby once the
competition was over, right?
**[18:16] Ui**
Oh no.
**[18:17] ---**
It looks like her phone's off.
**[18:26] ayu**
I wonder why she disappeared like that.
**[18:31] kaz**
Well, I guess I can understand.
**[18:36] ayu**
I guess she wanted to be alone.
**[18:40] kaz**
Probably.
**[18:41] kaz**
She could've come over and
said something though.
**[18:47] kaz**
Hey. Ayumu.
**[18:48] ayu**
Huh?
**[18:49] kaz**
You have to take the mountain trail
**[18:51] ---**
if you want to get to
the lookout, right?
**[18:54] ayu**
Yeah.
**[18:55] ---**
The trail is marked, so it
shouldn't be too hard to find.
**[19:00] kaz**
Gotcha.
**[19:02] ---**
Can you walk home without me?
**[19:05] ayu**
Brother!
**[19:21] kaz**
I thought you'd be up here!
**[19:30] ibu**
Hoshino.
**[19:32] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[19:34] kaz**
What I'd like to know
**[19:37] ---**
is why you took off
without saying anything.
**[19:40] kaz**
Everyone was worried about you.
**[19:43] ibu**
I guess I...
**[19:46] kaz**
Were you upset about losing
in the last round?
**[19:55] ibu**
I was scared.
**[20:00] ibu**
I've been involved in
archery since junior high.
**[20:03] ibu**
Until now, I always gave
my best during practice
**[20:06] ibu**
and made it to the last
round in the tournament.
**[20:10] ibu**
But at the very last moment,
**[20:13] ---**
I suddenly got scared thinking
**[20:16] ---**
"What if I miss this last shot?"
**[20:22] ---**
I knew I had to concentrate.
**[20:24] ibu**
I knew I had to calm down.
**[20:28] ibu**
But I got more and more scared
**[20:30] ---**
I felt like I wanted to run away.
**[20:33] ibu**
It didn't even matter anymore if I won or lost.
**[20:36] ibu**
I just wanted it to be over.
**[20:50] ibu**
Then everything went white in my head
**[20:53] ---**
and when I came to,
**[20:55] ibu**
I noticed I had released the arrow.
**[20:58] ibu**
I had run away.
**[20:59] ibu**
It wasn't the other competitors
I couldn't beat;
**[21:01] ---**
it was myself I couldn't defeat.
**[21:04] ibu**
I was so ashamed of that,
**[21:09] ---**
I didn't want anybody to see me.
**[21:12] ibu**
That's why I came up here.
**[21:16] kaz**
Hinata...
**[21:36] kaz**
Finals, you suck!
**[21:45] kaz**
This is the place to yell if
something's gone wrong, right?
**[22:03] ibu**
I'm such an idiot!

Episode 8
**[23:59] ---**
Butt in with OO (blank)!
**[24:01] dai**
Ayumu, do you know what goes in the blank?
**[24:04] ayu**
Could it be peni-
**[24:05] dai**
Wa-
**[24:06] ayu**
Penicillin?
**[24:07] dai**
Am I sick?
**[24:08] dai**
Not sure if that was quite right...
**[24:10] dai**
Speaking of "butt" and "in", what comes to mind?
**[24:13] ayu**
Uhm... bi...?
**[24:16] ---**
Bike!
**[24:16] dai**
Yeah, it goes vrooom and crash!
**[24:18] dai**
Wait, what the hell?!
**[24:20] ayu**
Oh yeah, that's it!
**[24:21] dai**
Correct.

**[00:00] Sak**
Ok.
**[00:06] hina**
So... you can't tell
anyone that I cried, okay?
**[00:12] hina**
You can't tell anyone.
**[00:15] kaz**
Huh?
**[00:16] kaz**
Sure, Hinata.
**[00:18] kaz**
It'll be our secret.
**[00:20] hina**
Thanks.
**[00:24] hina**
Also... you don't have to
call me Hinata anymore.
**[00:30] hina**
You can call me Ibuki.
**[00:32] kaz**
Huh?
**[00:35] kaz**
But... why?
**[00:37] hina**
What do you mean, "why?"
**[00:39] hina**
Because... well...
**[00:41] Ui**
Ibuki!
**[00:43] hina**
Ui?
**[00:44] Ui**
I figured you'd be up at the lookout!
**[00:46] Ui**
I can't believe you just ran
off without saying anything!
**[00:49] Ui**
Everyone was so worried.
**[00:54] Ui**
Huh?
**[00:55] Ui**
Kazu, why are you...
**[02:29] Tit**
Episode 8
**[02:29] Tit**
Butt in with OO (blank)!
**[02:37] Tsu**
Thank you.
**[02:38] Tsu**
Was this your last
delivery for the day?
**[02:41] Tsu**
Then how about a cold drink inside?
**[02:45] Sai**
I can't.
**[02:46] Sai**
I've got to go home and study.
**[02:48] Tsu**
That's right.
**[02:49] Tsu**
You're planning on entering
a university, aren't you?
**[02:53] Tsu**
Then I guess that's not going to work.
**[02:58] Ui**
Yeah, yeah.
**[03:01] Ui**
That's totally right.
**[03:07] Ui**
That's fine; I'm free.
**[03:11] Ui**
What?! The beach?!
**[03:13] Ui**
I want to go, I really want to go!!
**[03:15] Ui**
I haven't done anything
yet this summer!
**[03:18] kaz**
Then I'll see you next Wednesday.
**[03:21] kaz**
I'll call you again once we've got
**[03:23] ---**
all the details worked out.
**[03:24] Ui**
Okie dokie!
**[03:26] kaz**
Could you pass it on to Ibuki?
**[03:29] kaz**
Tell her that we're
all going to the beach.
**[03:35] kaz**
Hey, Ui?
**[03:37] kaz**
Is something wrong?
**[03:38] Ui**
Uh, oh, no!
**[03:40] ---**
Right.
**[03:41] Ui**
I'll make sure to tell her.
**[03:50] kaz**
Madoka, I didn't know that you volunteer
**[03:53] ---**
in the library during the summer.
**[03:55] mado**
Yes. I read to the children
**[03:58] ---**
and put on little plays.
**[03:59] kaz**
That's not all she does!
**[04:01] kaz**
She reads the kids
her own stories too.
**[04:03] kaz**
They really love her!
**[04:05] kaz**
Wow, really?
**[04:08] mado**
I think "love" is a bit too much...
**[04:10] mado**
It's just that, ever since I was little,
**[04:13] mado**
I liked making up stories,
**[04:16] ---**
and once, I read one of my stories
**[04:18] ---**
and they seemed to like it, so...
**[04:21] kaz**
It's really impressive that
**[04:22] ---**
you can write a story
kids actually appreciate.
**[04:26] koy**
Yeah, you didn't expect that, did you?!
**[04:29] kaz**
It's not like they're *your* stories.
**[04:31] koy**
What are you talking about?
**[04:33] koy**
My friend's accomplishment
is my accomplishment!
**[04:35] koy**
There's nothing wrong
with having some pride!
**[04:36] Dai**
Not to change the subject,
**[04:37] ---**
but what's with the studying, Sakai?
**[04:43] Sai**
I have to make this summer
count to get into a university.
**[04:46] Tsu**
I'm sorry.
**[04:47] Tsu**
I feel like we forced
you to come along.
**[04:51] Sai**
Taking breaks is important, too.
**[04:54] Sai**
Also...
**[04:55] Sai**
this is a good opportunity.
**[04:58] Sai**
If I get a moment alone with Hoshino,
I can apologize to her.
**[05:00] Sai**
I need to properly apologize
about that thing.
**[05:22] koy**
It's the ocean!
**[05:23] Both**
The ocean!
**[05:23] Both**
The ocean!
**[05:24] Both**
The ocean!
**[05:27] hina**
Hey!
**[05:28] hina**
You can't just run into the water
**[05:29] ---**
without warming up!
**[05:32] Dai**
They're such kids!
**[05:36] Dai**
Not like some people...
**[05:44] Dai**
Now there's a woman!
**[05:48] kaz**
C'mon, Koumoto!
Hurry up!
**[05:51] mado**
But I haven't quite prepared myself...
**[05:54] kaz**
What are you trying to hide, Koumoto?
**[05:57] kaz**
There's no way you could
hide those anyway!
**[06:10] kaz**
Huh?
**[06:12] kaz**
I haven't been thrown?
**[06:15] mado**
Uh, well you could say
**[06:17] ---**
that we've been somewhat involved...
**[06:20] mado**
By that I mean "as friends" of course!
**[06:25] mado**
Anyway, I think I won't throw you
**[06:28] ---**
just for that sort of contact any more...
**[06:31] mado**
However, if we had some sort
of ex-x-x-x-extreme contact...
**[06:40] mado**
I couldn't guarantee the same...
**[06:44] kaz**
Extreme contact?
**[07:04] kaz**
Madoka, let me do that.
**[07:08] mado**
Okay.
**[07:23] kaz**
There you go.
**[07:25] mado**
Thank you very much.
**[07:27] kaz**
Then let's go.
**[07:28] mado**
All right.
**[07:36] koy**
Take that! And that!
**[07:38] koy**
And there, and there!
**[07:44] kasa**
Time to strike back!
**[07:52] Ui**
Take that!
**[07:55] Dai**
Taste the power of science!
**[08:22] kaz**
It looks like the tunnel's open.
**[08:25] ayu**
Kazuma...
**[08:26] kaz**
Ibuki, I'm glad you're hanging
out with Ayumu,
**[08:30] kaz**
but don't you want to
go swimming at all?
**[08:32] ibu**
Why?
**[08:32] ibu**
It's not like there's some law
**[08:34] ---**
that you have to get into the water
**[08:36] ---**
when you go to the beach!
**[08:38] kaz**
Huh?
**[08:39] ayu**
Actually, Ibuki's like
me and can't swi-
**[08:42] ibu**
Ayumu!
**[08:47] kaz**
You can't swim?
**[08:50] kaz**
But I thought we already determined that
**[08:52] ---**
you could float on water by
secreting oil from your butt.
**[08:56] ibu**
Will you forget that
idiotic joke already?!
**[09:01] kaz**
If you have to butt in violently,
**[09:04] ---**
at least do it with the
back of your hand...
**[09:08] Sai**
It's not a bad thing if you can't swim.
**[09:11] Sai**
But it's good to learn something
you couldn't do before.
**[09:17] Sai**
Why don't I practice
swimming with you?
**[09:20] ayu**
Okay! Yes please!
**[09:23] Sai**
Hoshino can teach Hinata.
**[09:26] hina**
What?!
**[09:28] kaz**
Not if I can't make it...
**[09:32] Sai**
That's it. Like that.
**[09:37] kaz**
You're doing good.
Now try putting your face in.
**[09:40] hina**
You want me to put my face in where?
**[09:42] kaz**
Where do you think?
Into the ocean!
**[09:45] hina**
All right.
**[09:52] kaz**
That's good!
**[09:53] kaz**
See, you can do it if you try!
**[10:07] kaz**
Are you all right?
**[10:08] hina**
I thought I was going to die!
**[10:10] kaz**
You could've just taken a breath.
**[10:13] hina**
Then you should've
told me to do that!
**[10:15] hina**
You think I can do something
that complicated?!
**[10:17] hina**
If I could, I wouldn't need to learn!
**[10:23] Tsu**
Huh? Ui, are you taking a break?
**[10:25] Ui**
I'm really thirsty,
**[10:26] ---**
so I thought I'd get some shaved ice.
**[10:32] Ui**
Hey, do you know where Kazu is?
**[10:34] Ui**
He was with us a while ago
**[10:36] ---**
but then he disappeared.
**[10:38] Tsu**
If you're looking for Kazuma,
he's over there.
**[10:42] Tsu**
It looks like he's teaching
Ibuki how to swim.
**[10:47] Ui**
Kazu... and Ibuki...
**[10:54] Boy**
That's it, that's it, Ui!
**[10:56] Boy**
Keep doing that!
**[11:03] Tsu**
What's wrong, Ui?
**[11:05] Ui**
N-nothing!
**[11:07] Ui**
I'm going to go get that shaved ice now!
**[11:15] Tsu**
Ui...
***SIGN*** A Bridge To the Starry Skies
***SIGN*** Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi
**[11:33] Ui**
Hey, Madoka!
**[11:35] Ui**
Where's Tsumugi?
**[11:37] mado**
Tsumugi had to go do something,
**[11:38] ---**
so she asked me to watch our things.
**[11:41] Ui**
Oh. And I got her some shaved ice, too...
**[11:46] Ui**
Do you want it instead?
**[11:47] mado**
Are you sure?
**[11:49] Ui**
Of course!
**[11:59] mado**
Are you all right?
**[12:01] mado**
You shouldn't eat so fast.
**[12:03] Ui**
I know,
**[12:05] ---**
but I don't feel like I'm eating
shaved ice unless I do this.
**[12:12] Ui**
That was delicious.
**[12:24] mado**
Right now I'm alone with her.
**[12:29] mado**
This might be my only chance...
**[12:39] ---**
I-I have to ask her now.
**[12:43] mado**
So umm... Nakatsugawa...
**[12:46] Ui**
Yes?
**[12:47] mado**
I'm not sure if I should
be asking you this.
**[12:53] Ui**
Go ahead.
**[12:57] mado**
Then I'll just ask.
**[13:00] mado**
How do you feel about Ka-Kazuma?
**[13:05] Ui**
What do you mean by that?
**[13:07] mado**
I mean... do you... l-l-like him?
**[13:14] Ui**
Of course that's...
**[13:16] ---**
Well, it's not like I dislike him.
**[13:19] Ui**
I don't dislike him, so I
suppose that means I like him.
**[13:24] Ui**
Oh, while it's true that I do like him,
**[13:27] Ui**
the way I like him is more like...
**[13:31] Ui**
you like an older brother.
**[13:35] Ui**
That's it!
**[13:36] Ui**
I like him like I like
my older brother!
**[13:39] mado**
Like your older brother?
**[13:41] Ui**
Why are you even asking, Madoka?
**[13:45] mado**
Well, because...
well, how should I say this?
**[13:52] Tsu**
I'm back!
**[13:58] Ui**
A watermelon!!
**[13:59] Tsu**
I thought it would be fun to split
watermelon with everybody,
**[14:02] Tsu**
so I went and bought one
at the beach house.
**[14:04] Ui**
Then why don't I go call everyone over?
**[14:12] Dai**
If I recall correctly,
**[14:14] ---**
the first time the illustrious
Daigo Minamikokubaru
**[14:17] Dai**
learned of the activity known
as watermelon splitting,
**[14:19] Dai**
was some ten odd years ago,
at the age of three.
**[14:21] ---**
Back then-
**[14:24] hina**
Stop talking already!
**[14:25] Ui**
The watermelon is going to get warm!
**[14:27] koy**
She's right!
**[14:28] Dai**
All right, all right!
**[14:31] Dai**
Then let the watermelon
splitting begin!
**[14:35] kaz**
All set!
**[14:37] hina**
Are you sure you can't see?
**[14:40] kaz**
I can't see a thing.
**[14:42] kaz**
Then I bet you won't know
whose breasts these are.
**[14:53] kaz**
Whoever's it is, it's pretty flat...
**[14:55] kaz**
Could it be Ibuki's?
**[14:59] kaz**
I told you: please do
that with your hand.
**[15:08] hina**
Here I go!
**[15:12] all**
Right, right!
**[15:13] all**
Right, right!
**[15:14] all**
You've gone too far!
**[15:16] all**
It's not over there,
**[15:17] all**
turn around, turn around!
**[15:24] hina**
Here it is!
**[15:28] hina**
No, here!
**[15:30] hina**
Take this!
**[15:35] kaz**
Ibuki!
**[15:36] kaz**
You can totally see!
**[15:42] Ui**
Here I go!
**[15:46] Ui**
*sniff sniff*
**[15:49] Ui**
*sniff sniff*
**[15:52] Ui**
*sniff sniff*
**[16:00] Ui**
*sniff*
**[16:01] Ui**
It's here!
**[16:06] Tsu**
Amazing! She found and split
the watermelon by smell alone.
**[16:10] koy**
That's amazing, Ui-chu!
**[16:13] kaz**
That's not quite how the
game usually goes...
**[16:19] Dai**
All right!
**[16:20] Dai**
We're gonna play some
beach volleyball.
**[16:22] ---**
Everyone, split into teams!
**[16:25] Dai**
Wait a sec...
**[16:26] Dai**
Where's Sakai and Ayumu?
**[16:28] kaz**
I'm not sure where Sakai is,
**[16:30] ---**
but Ayumu was feeling pretty tired,
**[16:32] kaz**
so Tsumugi was saying he
should take a little break.
**[16:35] Dai**
So you're saying that Ayumu and Tsumugi
**[16:37] ---**
are by themselves, under the beach umbrella?
**[16:40] Dai**
Maybe they're...
**[16:57] Tsu**
Ayumu...
**[17:00] ---**
could you oil me up?
**[17:03] ayu**
Y-yes.
**[17:10] Tsu**
That feels great.
**[17:11] Tsu**
You're very good, Ayumu.
**[17:15] Tsu**
Yes, like that. Like that.
**[17:16] Tsu**
Oil every nook and cranny of my body.
**[17:19] Tsu**
That's so good!
**[17:24] ayu**
I'm done.
**[17:26] Tsu**
Now it's your turn!
**[17:30] Tsu**
I'm going to rub oil all over you...
**[17:32] Tsu**
with my breasts.
**[17:34] Tsu**
All over you.
**[17:45] Dai**
Something like that.
**[17:46] kaz**
Yeah right!
**[17:48] Dai**
The hand hurts, too.
**[17:54] ayu**
Tsumugi?
**[17:56] Tsu**
Yes?
**[17:58] ayu**
Is there something
you'd like to buy?
**[18:01] Tsu**
What?
**[18:02] ayu**
Well, I was just wondering
**[18:04] ---**
why you work part time after
school at Yorozuyo.
**[18:08] Tsu**
I guess I'm working at
Yorozuyo as sort of a dry run.
**[18:13] ayu**
Dry run?
**[18:15] Tsu**
I was thinking I'd like to work full
time at Yorozuyo in the future.
**[18:20] Tsu**
Now why do you think that is?
**[18:22] ayu**
Because you like Yorozuyo?
**[18:25] Tsu**
That's a tiny bit right.
**[18:27] Tsu**
But it's not just Yorozuyo that I like.
**[18:30] ---**
I like all of Yamabiko City.
**[18:33] Tsu**
I like the clean water,
the clear skies,
**[18:36] ---**
the abundant greenery.
**[18:39] Tsu**
What I like most though,
is that warm connection
**[18:42] ---**
all the people here
have with one another.
**[18:45] Tsu**
Maybe I'm too biased...
**[18:48] ayu**
I think that too.
**[18:50] Tsu**
Thank you.
**[18:52] Tsu**
An inn is a place where
you welcome people
**[18:54] ---**
who are visiting from the outside.
**[18:56] Tsu**
If I give them the best
hospitality I can,
**[18:58] ---**
then I figure they'll want to come
**[19:01] Tsu**
to my beloved Yamabiko City again.
**[19:04] Tsu**
I want a lot of people to fall in love
**[19:06] ---**
with this place like that.
**[19:08] Tsu**
I want to tell them that
this is a good place.
**[19:11] Tsu**
That this is the kind of place that's
**[19:13] ---**
always embracing you,
**[19:15] Tsu**
through the good times and the bad.
**[19:18] ayu**
That sounds like my brother!
**[19:21] Tsu**
Huh?
**[19:21] Tsu**
I'm like your brother?
**[19:24] ayu**
No, not you... Yamabiko City.
**[19:27] ayu**
When you said it was always there
for you, no matter what happened,
**[19:29] ayu**
and that it was always kind...
**[19:31] ayu**
I thought that sounded
just like my brother.
**[19:33] Tsu**
I see.
**[19:34] ayu**
But I've never been anything
but a bother to him,
**[19:37] ---**
ever since I was little.
**[19:39] Tsu**
You shouldn't say that, Ayumu.
**[19:41] Tsu**
I think your brother is
**[19:42] ---**
doing everything he can
to keep you smiling.
**[19:46] Tsu**
I'm sure it would make him sad
**[19:49] ---**
to see you looking down because of that.
**[19:53] Tsu**
If you want to thank your brother
for all he's done for you,
**[19:55] Tsu**
you shouldn't think of the
things he did as a debt.
**[19:59] Tsu**
Instead, you should just
try to make him smile
**[20:04] ---**
for every time he made you smile.
**[20:07] ayu**
Make him smile...
**[20:12] ayu**
You're right.
**[20:13] ayu**
I don't know how I'll do it,
but I'll give it my best.
**[20:18] Tsu**
That's it!
**[20:38] Sak**
Cute.
**[20:40] kaz**
Sakai!
**[20:43] kaz**
So this is where you were.
**[20:45] kaz**
Everyone else is changed
and getting ready to go.
**[20:50] kaz**
Come on, let's go.
**[20:51] kaz**
Everyone's waiting.
**[20:56] Sak**
Right now I'm alone with Hoshino.
**[20:59] Sak**
I could say I was sorry
for that one time...
**[21:01] Sak**
Hoshino!
**[21:03] kaz**
What's up?
**[21:06] Sak**
Uh... well...
**[21:09] Sak**
I'm... sorry.
**[21:11] kaz**
Huh?
**[21:12] kaz**
Oh, you don't have to
**[21:13] ---**
apologize for something
this insignificant.
**[21:16] kaz**
Come on, let's hurry up and go.
**[21:20] Sak**
That's not...
what I meant.
**[21:28] ibu**
That was a lot of fun!
**[21:29] Ui**
It sure was.
**[21:32] ibu**
I burned pretty badly though.
**[21:34] ibu**
I bet it's going to sting
when I get in the bath.
**[21:37] Ui**
Hey, Ibuki.
**[21:39] Ui**
When did Kazu start
calling you "Ibuki"?
**[21:46] ibu**
Hmmm!
**[21:47] ibu**
When was that?
**[21:50] ibu**
I can't remember.
**[21:53] ibu**
Why do you ask?
**[21:56] Ui**
I guess there's no reason really.
**[22:00] Ui**
I was just...
**[22:02] Ui**
I noticed, is all.
**[22:07] ibu**
I see.
**[22:11] Ui**
Yeah, that's all.
**[22:17] Ui**
Really. That's the only reason.
**[23:55] dai**
Man this was a babetastic
outing with lots of skin!

Yellow Jackets Are Diuranal
**[24:08] dai**
If Ayumu had worn a micro-bikini
**[24:10] ---**
or an old school swim uniform,
**[24:11] dai**
it would have been perfect!
**[24:13] kaz**
Neither of those are for guys.
**[24:15] dai**
So you're saying guy things are okay?
**[24:17] kaz**
Well, I guess...
**[24:18] dai**
All right, Ayumu!

Next time let's go for a butt-floss loin cloth!
**[24:22] ayu**

**[00:12] Man**
So, how do you like our new parfait?
**[00:15] Ui**
It's so sweet and cold and delicious!
**[00:19] Man**
That's all you care about, huh?
**[00:41] Ui**
My ice cream!!

Episode 9
**[02:15] Titl**
Yellow Jackets Are Diuranal
**[02:16] Kaz**
Jeez, that Daigo.
**[02:18] Kaz**
I wondered why he wanted
**[02:20] ---**
to go all the way to town.
**[02:23] Kaz**
Go figure: a dirty bookstore tour.
**[02:25] ---**
What's that supposed to be, anyway?
**[02:27] Kaz**
Huh?
**[02:35] Kaz**
Sakai?
**[02:37] sak**
Hoshino.
**[02:39] Kaz**
What are you doing here all alone?
**[02:46] Kaz**
Sakai!
**[02:48] Kaz**
Do you have a fever?
**[02:50] Kaz**
You don't.
**[02:52] Kaz**
So then... what's wrong?
**[03:01] sak**
I'm... hungry.
**[03:17] Kaz**
I guess when you're starving,
**[03:19] ---**
even you eat like that.
**[03:25] Kaz**
No, I didn't mean it like that!
**[03:27] ---**
I actually prefer that.
**[03:30] sak**
So I guess you like
girls who eat a lot.
**[03:37] Kaz**
Well... actually...
**[03:40] Kaz**
Anyway... what happened?
**[03:43] sak**
Why were you dying on
the side of the road?
**[03:49] sak**
I ran away from home.
**[03:51] Kaz**
You ran away?!
**[03:52] sak**
It's when you leave
**[03:53] ---**
your home with no intention of returning,
**[03:56] ---**
without telling anyone in advance.
**[03:58] Kaz**
I know what it means!
**[04:00] sak**
I got into a fight with my dad
**[04:02] ---**
and I just ran out.
**[04:05] sak**
I didn't bring my wallet
**[04:07] ---**
or a change of clothes or anything.
**[04:09] Kaz**
So now what are you going to do?
**[04:15] Kaz**
Don't look at me like that!
**[04:17] Kaz**
I'm already freeloading at Yorozuyo.
**[04:21] sak**
I understand.
**[04:23] sak**
Thanks for the food.
**[04:25] sak**
I'll figure something out.
**[04:47] Kaz**
Sakai!
**[04:57] Kaz**
Hello?
**[05:03] Kaz**
Sakai...
**[05:06] sak**
Is this your room?
**[05:09] Kaz**
It's small, but you can
stay here for now.
**[05:12] Kaz**
Oh, the ceiling slopes, so be caref-
**[05:18] ayu**
Brother, you're home!
**[05:20] Kaz**
Uh, yeah...
**[05:22] ayu**
Sis says it's dinner time.
**[05:25] Kaz**
Okay.
**[05:29] ayu**
Aren't you coming?
**[05:31] Kaz**
Uh... I've got this thing I need to do.
**[05:33] Kaz**
Just tell her I'll be right there.
**[05:36] ayu**
Okay.
**[05:43] kaz**
What are you going to do for dinner?
**[05:45] sak**
I had a lot of food before,
**[05:47] ---**
so I'm fine for the rest of the day.
**[05:49] Kaz**
Oh, okay.
**[05:50] Kaz**
I'm going to go eat,
so please wait here for me.
**[06:00] Sign**
Wet Wipes
**[06:17] kaz**
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
**[06:23] Sis**
Kazuma, is everything okay?
Why are you yelling?
**[06:26] Kaz**
Uh, it's nothing!
**[06:28] Kaz**
J-just a yellow jacket that flew into my room.
**[06:31] sak**
Yellow jackets are diurnal insects;
**[06:33] ---**
they don't fly around at night.
**[06:35] Kaz**
Whatever!!
**[06:37] Sis**
Are you sure you're okay?
**[06:39] Kaz**
I-I-I'm fine!
**[06:40] Kaz**
It already flew out!
**[06:50] Kaz**
What were you doing anyway?
**[06:52] sak**
I was sweaty
**[06:54] ---**
so I wanted to wipe myself down.
**[06:56] Kaz**
You could've just said something!
**[06:58] Kaz**
I would have brought you a
moist towel or something.
**[07:00] sak**
It's fine, I've put on my clothes.
**[07:03] Kaz**
Don't scare me like that.
**[07:05] Kaz**
If Sis finds out you're
in here, she'll...
**[07:09] sak**
I forgot to put that back on.
**[07:20] Sis**
This feels so good.
**[07:23] Sis**
Nothing beats a bath after
a long day of work!
**[07:29] kaz**
You can sleep here tonight.
**[07:32] sak**
Where are you going to sleep?
**[07:34] Kaz**
I'll sleep on the floor.
**[07:36] sak**
I can't let you do that.
**[07:38] sak**
I'm the one who is imposing myself,
**[07:40] ---**
so I'll sleep on the floor.
**[07:43] Kaz**
I know,
**[07:45] ---**
but I can't let a girl
sleep on the floor
**[07:47] ---**
and take the bed myself.
**[07:49] sak**
Then let's do it this way.
**[07:56] sak**
If we do this, we can
both sleep on the futon.
**[07:59] Kaz**
Uhm... this is a little...
**[08:01] sak**
I never toss and turn so it'll be fine.
**[08:04] Kaz**
It's more that...
**[08:06] sak**
I won't kick you or anything.
**[08:08] Kaz**
Uh huh...
**[08:13] Kaz**
So, why did you have a
fight with your dad?
**[08:20] Kaz**
Oh, you don't have to tell
me if you don't want to.
**[08:23] sak**
I want to go to a university in Tokyo,
**[08:27] sak**
but my dad is against it.
**[08:30] ---**
He thinks that if I go to the big city,
**[08:32] ---**
I'll never want to come back.
**[08:35] sak**
Just smelling sake makes me feel woozy,
**[08:39] ---**
so I could never produce it.
**[08:43] sak**
I could help on the business side though.
**[08:46] sak**
Which is why I thought I could
**[08:48] ---**
go to a university and study
management or product development.
**[08:51] sak**
Those are the kind of things
I'd really like to study.
**[08:55] sak**
Then I could get our sake
to even more people, in different ways.
**[08:59] ---**
in all kinds of forms.
**[09:03] Kaz**
So this is what
**[09:05] ---**
you talked to your father about?
**[09:08] sak**
I've tried to, many many times.
**[09:10] sak**
The first time I told him
**[09:12] ---**
I wanted to go to a
university in Tokyo,
**[09:14] ---**
he just yelled at me.
**[09:17] sak**
The next time I tried,
**[09:19] ---**
my mom and dad got into
a fight with each other.
**[09:22] sak**
The next time, my dad
yelled at me again.
**[09:26] sak**
The next time,
**[09:27] ---**
there was panic because of a fire.
**[09:29] sak**
The next time I tried,
**[09:31] ---**
some customers came in right then.
**[09:33] sak**
And then the next time I
tried to say something...
**[09:35] Kaz**
I think I get it.
**[09:37] Kaz**
You haven't had a chance
to talk about it yet.
**[09:40] sak**
I feel like I never will.
**[09:43] kaz**
I'm sure you will.
**[09:45] kaz**
You've just got to wait for
the right opportunity.
**[09:49] Sak**
That's right.
**[09:50] Sak**
Hoshino?
**[09:52] Kaz**
What?
**[09:55] sak**
I'm sorry.
**[09:59] Kaz**
Oh, you don't have to apologize.
**[10:00] ---**
You needed help
and I happened to be-
**[10:03] sak**
That's not what I mean.
**[10:05] sak**
I'm talking about when we first met.
**[10:07] sak**
You said my charm was cute
**[10:09] ---**
but I misunderstood
and got mad at you.
**[10:14] Kaz**
Oh, that...
**[10:15] sak**
Don't mock me!
**[10:18] sak**
I've been wanting
**[10:20] ---**
to apologize for that for so long,
**[10:22] ---**
but I never could and
**[10:24] sak**
it's really been bothering me.
**[10:25] ---**
Sakai.
**[10:27] Kaz**
You just said something you've been
**[10:30] ---**
wanting to say for a long time.
**[10:34] Kaz**
I'm sure it'll be the
same with your dad.
**[10:38] ---**
One of these days,
you'll be able to tell him.
**[10:46] sak**
Hoshino...
**[10:47] Kaz**
Yes?
**[10:52] sak**
Thank you.
**[11:00] Sis**
Kazuma, it's time to get up.
**[11:03] Sis**
You can't sleep all day
**[11:04] ---**
just because it's summer vacation.
**[11:09] Sis**
Kazuma, are you awake?
**[11:11] Sis**
I want to fold up the futon,
so I'm opening the door.
**[11:14] Kaz**
One moment, please!
**[11:25] Sis**
I understand the circumstances.
**[11:27] Sis**
I don't like that you didn't tell me
**[11:30] ---**
from the very beginning, but...
**[11:32] Sis**
When a bird begs for shelter,
even a hunter...
**[11:35] ---**
even a hunter...
**[11:37] Sis**
even a hunter...
**[11:39] ---**
is surprised?
**[11:41] sak**
When a bird begs for shelter,
**[11:43] ---**
even a hunter can't kill it.
**[11:45] Sis**
That's it!
That's exactly it!
**[11:47] Sis**
So, as the landlady of Yorozuyo,
**[11:50] ---**
I can't watch you suffer.
**[11:54] Sis**
But.
**[11:55] Sis**
If you don't work,
you don't eat.
**[11:58] Sis**
You'll be expected to
**[11:59] ---**
help out like an intern
while you live here.
**[12:02] Sis**
Understood?
**[12:09] Sis**
You look good!
**[12:12] Kaz**
So why do I have to do this too?
**[12:15] Sis**
Tsumugi left yesterday
to go on vacation
**[12:16] ---**
with her family and
**[12:18] Sis**
I'd already been thinking it would
be nice to have an extra person!
**[12:21] Sis**
All right, you two,
I'm counting on you.
***SIGN*** A Bridge To the Starry Skies
***SIGN*** Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi
**[12:47] sak**
Welc-
**[12:50] ---**
Dad?!
**[12:51] Dad**
So it's true! You really are
working at Yorozuyo as an intern!
**[12:56] Kaz**
Looks like I have to
clean the entrance next.
**[12:58] Kaz**
Jeez, Sis sure doesn't mess around...
**[13:00] sak**
No.
**[13:01] sak**
No.
**[13:02] Dad**
You're coming with me!
**[13:04] Kaz**
Hey! Stop that!
**[13:06] Dad**
Who the hell are you?
**[13:08] Kaz**
Well, who the hell are you?
**[13:11] sak**
Dad, please...
**[13:13] Kaz**
Dad?
**[13:14] Kaz**
So then he's your...
**[13:15] Dad**
You're that kid from the big city!
**[13:18] Dad**
So you're the one
**[13:18] ---**
who has been giving her all these ideas!
**[13:21] sak**
No, he hasn't.
**[13:21] sak**
Hoshino doesn't have
anything to do with this.
**[13:23] Dad**
Shut up!
**[13:23] Dad**
Just shut your mouth!
**[13:28] Kaz**
"Just shut your mouth"...
**[13:30] Kaz**
No wonder she can't tell you anything,
**[13:31] ---**
when you just yell at her
**[13:33] ---**
without listening.
**[13:35] Kaz**
And look where it's gotten you.
**[13:37] Dad**
Are you trying to tell me
how to talk to my daughter?
**[13:40] Kaz**
She wants to
**[13:42] ---**
go to college to help
you with your business!
**[13:45] Dad**
What?
**[13:46] Kaz**
She wants to get your
sake out to more people.
**[13:50] ---**
That's why she wants
to go to a university!
**[13:53] Dad**
Is that true, Hina?
**[13:56] Dad**
Then why didn't you just say that?!
**[13:58] Kaz**
Because you never let her talk!
**[14:00] Dad**
Shut up and stay out of this!
**[14:02] Kaz**
I won't!
**[14:03] Dad**
You damn brat!
**[14:04] Dad**
You think you're hot stuff,
**[14:05] ---**
just because you
came from a big city?
**[14:08] Sis**
That's enough.
**[14:10] Sis**
Mr. Sakai, I can't have you
**[14:13] ---**
behave violently here at Yorozuyo.
**[14:16] Sai**
It only went this far because this
little punk was giving me lip!
**[14:20] Sai**
But I'm taking my daughter home now!
**[14:24] Sis**
Kazuma is a very important guest here.
**[14:28] Sis**
Since your daughter
came to him for help,
**[14:30] ---**
she is essentially a guest as well.
**[14:36] Sis**
And here at Yorozuyo,
**[14:38] ---**
we definitely don't let
**[14:40] ---**
our important customers
get snatched away,
**[14:43] Sis**
no matter what!
***SIGN*** Sakai Sake
**[14:51] ---**
Honey,
**[14:53] Mom**
the Yorozuyo innkeeper
called just now.
**[14:57] Mom**
She said that our daughter
**[14:59] ---**
was going to be
staying there for awhile,
**[15:02] Mom**
so we don't need to worry.
**[15:05] Mom**
Are you listening?
**[15:06] Mom**
I know you're not really asleep.
**[15:13] Dad**
Ouch!
**[15:14] Dad**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[15:16] Mom**
See?
**[15:17] Mom**
I knew you weren't asleep.
**[15:18] Dad**
You idiot!
**[15:19] Dad**
I would've jumped ten feet straight up
**[15:20] ---**
if you'd done that
while I was really asleep!
**[15:25] Mom**
So, the innkeeper told me
**[15:26] ---**
why Hina wants to go to college.
**[15:29] Mom**
She said it was so she could
help us here with our business.
**[15:33] Mom**
I gave birth to a good kid.
**[15:36] Dad**
Hey, you're not the
only one who made her.
**[15:38] Mom**
So what are you going to do?
**[15:40] Dad**
What are you talking about?
**[15:41] Mom**
It's not like I can't understand
**[15:43] ---**
that you want to keep her close
**[15:45] ---**
because she's our only daughter,
**[15:47] Mom**
but you should think about
what she wants, too.
**[15:52] Dad**
You think I don't know that?!
**[15:55] Dad**
Of course...
**[15:56] Dad**
I know that.
**[15:59] Kaz**
What?
**[15:59] Kaz**
Her dad is challenging me to a duel?
**[16:03] Sis**
Not a duel, per se.
It's a challenge to tug-of-war.
**[16:05] Kaz**
Tug-of-war?
**[16:07] sak**
It's an old tradition in these parts.
**[16:09] sak**
Whenever the villagers had a dispute,
**[16:11] sak**
they would settle it by electing
their strongest representatives,
**[16:14] sak**
who would then have a tug-of-war
**[16:16] ---**
on the grounds of the Kotama Shrine.
**[16:17] Sis**
There are stories from when
my grandmother was alive
**[16:20] Sis**
where romantic disputes were settled
**[16:21] ---**
with a game of tug-of-war.
**[16:26] Sis**
I would never have
imagined that anybody
**[16:28] ---**
would suggest something
like that nowadays.
**[16:30] kaz**
But why does he want to have a
round of tug-of-war with me?
**[16:31] Sis**
It looks like he's under the impression
**[16:33] ---**
that you're a bad seed trying
to corrupt his daughter.
**[16:36] Kaz**
A bad seed?
**[16:37] Sis**
Well, what are you going to do?
**[16:38] Sis**
Will you accept his challenge?
**[16:40] sak**
You don't have to accept it.
**[16:42] sak**
I don't want to cause
you any more trouble.
**[16:44] Kaz**
No. I'm going to do it.
**[16:47] Kaz**
I'm going to show that
stubborn old guy!
**[16:51] Sis**
If Kazuma wins, she can
do as she pleases,
**[16:54] Sis**
but if Mr. Sakai wins,
she'll have to go back home.
**[16:58] Sis**
You got it?
**[16:59] Kaz**
Yes!
**[17:03] Sis**
It looks like we're all ready.
**[17:07] Kaz**
Sis... do I really have to wear this?
**[17:10] Sis**
Of course you do!
**[17:11] Sis**
This is a ritual being
performed at the shrine,
**[17:14] Sis**
which means you must be
dressed in the proper attire.
**[17:17] Kaz**
And what are all these
people doing here?
**[17:20] Ayu**
Kazuma...
**[17:25] Kaz**
Ayumu! Why are you
dressed like this too?
**[17:28] ---**
'Cuz.
**[17:29] Ayu**
Sis told me that
I have to wear this
**[17:31] ---**
if I really want to
show you my support.
**[17:36] Man**
All right.
**[17:37] ---**
This is a holy match laid
down before the gods.
**[17:40] Man**
Make sure that you won't
hold a grudge afterwards.
**[17:43] Wom**
Young people have such nice butts.
**[17:46] Wom1**
I wish my butt was as smooth.
**[17:48] Wom2**
I wouldn't mind trading my
rusty rear for that one.
**[17:52] All**
You said it!
**[17:53] Kaz**
Ladies!
**[17:54] Kaz**
A holy match is about to commence,
**[17:55] ---**
so please refrain from watching
it with the wrong eyes?!
**[18:00] Man**
Will you both please pick up the rope?
**[18:09] Man**
Begin!
**[18:24] Ayu**
Get him, Kazuma!
**[18:26] sak**
Hoshino...
**[18:27] Guys**
Come on, Sakai!
**[18:29] Guys**
Don't lose to that youngster!
**[18:41] Guy2**
I don't know who's
going to win anymore!
**[19:17] sak**
Dad...
**[19:35] Kaz**
Sakai, please make sure
to fulfill your dream!
**[20:17] Man**
It's over!
**[20:18] Man**
The match is decided!
**[20:21] Ayu**
Kazuma!
**[20:24] Kaz**
Sakai...
**[20:27] Kaz**
This is... uh...
**[20:31] Kaz**
Sakai?
**[20:35] Mom**
Honey, are you okay?
**[20:42] Mom**
Here we go.
**[20:44] Mom**
Are you ready to eat?
**[20:48] sak**
Dad's still not here.
**[20:50] mom**
Just let him be.
**[20:52] sak**
He's been in a bad mood
ever since the match.
**[20:55] sak**
He just stays locked in his room.
**[20:59] sak**
I guess he still hasn't forgiven me.
**[21:02] Mom**
No, no!
**[21:04] Mom**
His plan was to challenge
Hoshino with a crazy proposal
**[21:08] ---**
and then lose to him on purpose.
**[21:11] Mom**
Apparently he wanted to do the
**[21:13] ---**
"do things for your daughter
without her noticing" spiel.
**[21:19] Mom**
But before he went easy on the boy,
**[21:20] ---**
he let himself get all serious
and burned himself out.
**[21:23] Mom**
You saw how it ended.
**[21:25] ---**
It didn't go the way he planned.
**[21:27] ---**
It ended badly,
so now he's sulking.
**[21:31] Mom**
I guess he's getting old.
**[21:33] Mom**
Even if he was fast,
**[21:34] ---**
he used to make up for it with
the number of times he-
**[21:38] Mom**
Hey, where are you going?
**[21:47] sak**
Dad...
**[21:52] sak**
Are you really sulking?
**[21:58] sak**
Dad,
**[22:00] ---**
that's cute.
**[22:01] Dad**
Damn it, don't mock your fath-
**[22:05] sak**
It's also cute that
you're embarrassed.
**[22:15] sak**
Dad...
**[22:20] sak**
Thank you.
**[23:55] sis**
Ayumu, it's time for the preview.
**[23:58] sis**
Oh, he's asleep.
**[24:00] sis**
That's fine, I'll just do it for him.

**[00:13] Man**
Hello, Madoka!
**[00:14] mado**
Hello!
**[00:16] mado**
Are you gentlemen
visiting the shrine together?
**[00:19] Man**
Didn't you hear?
**[00:21] Man**
There was the first tug-of-war
match in a while at the temple earlier.
**[00:25] mado**
I've been at the library all morning
reading to the children...
**[00:31] mado**
Then again, I think maybe
**[00:34] ---**
Grandfather mentioned
something about that yesterday.
**[00:37] mado**
Who was competing against whom?
**[00:40] Man**
It's going to be Sakai from the sake store and
**[00:42] Man**
that kid from the big city, you know?
**[00:45] mado**
You mean Kazuma?
**[00:47] Man1**
Yeah, that's him!
**[00:47] Man1**
He comes to my
store too sometimes.
**[00:50] mado**
But why on earth
was Kazuma competing
**[00:53] ---**
against Mr. Sakai in a
game of tug-of-war?!
**[00:55] Man**
I don't know.
**[00:57] Man**
I only came to watch
since he told me about it.
**[01:01] Man2**
I heard it from a Yorozuyo
waitress who came to my store,
**[01:04] ---**
so I don't really know the details...
**[01:06] Old**
What the hell?
**[01:07] Old**
You guys were
getting all worked up
**[01:09] ---**
without knowing anything?
**[01:11] Old**
Since ancient times,
the temple tug-of-wars
**[01:14] Old**
have always been about
asking a girl's hand in marriage.
**[01:16] Man**
Wait, so...
**[01:18] Old**
I bet the kid asked for his daughter
**[01:22] ---**
and it threw the old man into a fit.
**[01:24] Man**
I see.
**[01:26] Man**
So I guess they decided the fate
**[01:27] ---**
of his only daughter through the match.
**[01:29] Old**
It sure takes me back.
**[01:30] Old**
I remember when I
asked for my wife's hand.
**[01:33] Old**
Her father was dead against it,
**[01:35] ---**
and decided that we needed to settle it
**[01:37] ---**
in front of the temple
in a tug-of-war match.
**[01:39] Old**
Back then, tug-of-war
**[01:42] ---**
was sometimes referred to as "tug-of-wife".
**[01:42] mado**
So that means Kazuma and Sakai are...
**[01:43] ---**
Since you were pulling both the rope...
**[03:17] mado**
But...
**[03:18] mado**
But we've just
become friends!
**[03:22] mado**
And now you have to leave...
**[03:24] Kaz**
We'll always be friends.
**[03:27] mado**
We'll always...
**[03:28] mado**
be friends?
**[03:30] Kaz**
That's right.
**[03:32] mado**
Okay.
**[03:38] ---**
Minamikokubaru Daigo
**[03:46] Kaz**
Yes, hello?
**[03:48] Dai**
Hey bro, it's me!
**[03:49] Kaz**
Daigo, what do you want?
**[03:51] Dai**
Listen man, you gotta help me!
**[03:53] Kaz**
Huh?

**[04:04] Koy**
Hello!
**[04:07] Oba**
Hello, Koyori!
**[04:08] Oba**
It looks like you're back from your trip.
**[04:10] Oba**
Did you have fun in Hawaii?
**[04:12] Koy**
I sure did!
**[04:13] Koy**
And I brought back some souvenirs.
**[04:14] Koy**
Is Madoka here?
**[04:15] Oba**
She's here, but she's not feeling so well...
**[04:20] Koy**
Is she sick?
**[04:21] Oba**
I wouldn't go so far
as to say she's sick.
**[04:24] Oba**
I think she might be
suffering a bit from the heat.
**[04:27] Oba**
I guess...
**[04:28] ---**
She hasn't been feeling well
**[04:31] ---**
ever since the day
of the tug-of-war match.
**[04:32] Koy**
Tug-of-war match?
**[04:34] Koy**
Isn't that how they used to
settle disputes in the olden times?
**[04:37] Koy**
So why did they have one?
**[04:38] Oba**
I didn't really understand it myself.
**[04:41] Oba**
Oh well, I'm sure seeing your face
**[04:43] ---**
will cheer her right up.
**[04:45] Oba**
Why don't you go say hi to her?
**[04:47] Koy**
All right.
**[04:50] Old**
I see.
**[04:54] Old**
You're saying she's been
listless since the tug-of-war match.
**[04:56] Koy**
Yeah.
**[04:58] Old**
Well, I guess Kazuma's the cause of that.
**[05:01] Koy**
What?
**[05:02] Koy**
Did he do something to her?!
**[05:04] Old**
Huh?
**[05:05] Old**
No, that's not what I meant.
**[05:07] Old**
But you see, Koyori,
**[05:09] ---**
in the old times,
tug-of-war at the temple
**[05:11] ---**
was called tug-of-wife.
**[05:14] Old**
You see, both the rope and the wife were...
**[05:19] Dai**
I would like to thank you all warmly
**[05:21] ---**
for joining me at the emergency
**[05:22] Dai**
"Let's Get All Our Piled Up Summer
Homework Done Together" meeting.
**[05:28] Dai**
To enjoy the few remaining days of summer,
**[05:29] Dai**
it is of tantamount importance
**[05:31] ---**
that we tie up the lingering
threads of our home...
**[05:33] Koy**
Kazuma!
**[05:34] Koy**
Are you here?!
**[05:35] Kaz**
Yes.
**[05:37] Kaz**
What's up?
**[05:42] Koy**
Kazuma!
**[05:43] ---**
Huh?
**[05:44] Koy**
You bastard!
**[05:50] Koy**
Is it true that you're marrying Hina?!
**[05:53] Kaz**
What?
**[05:54] Kaz**
Marriage?
**[05:56] Kaz**
Huh?
**[05:57] All**
What?!
**[06:02] Koy**
Oh.
**[06:03] Koy**
So I guess you two
aren't getting married after all.
**[06:06] Kaz**
Of course not!
**[06:08] Kaz**
Where did you even get that idea?
**[06:10] Ui**
I didn't even know about this event.
**[06:13] ---**
I would've gone and cheered you on!
**[06:16] Kaz**
Well, it was...
**[06:17] ibu**
I guess it's pretty decent
of you to put yourself on the line
**[06:20] ---**
for Sakai's sake.
**[06:23] Kaz**
I guess I didn't hear about
it because I was in Hawaii,
**[06:25] Kaz**
but as the official ears of Yamabiko,
**[06:28] ---**
I can't believe I had to
miss an event like that!
**[06:33] Ayu**
My brother looked really cool in his loin cloth.
**[06:37] Kaz**
Geez, Ayumu, don't talk about it!
**[06:39] Koy**
Then I'm going to go and
report back to Madoka.
**[06:43] Kaz**
Why would you tell her?
**[06:46] Koy**
Because she's been feeling down
**[06:48] ---**
ever since the tug-of-war happened
**[06:49] Koy**
and Grandpa Gen said it was because
**[06:52] ---**
you and Hina were getting married.
**[06:53] Koy**
So if I tell her that's not true, she'll...
**[06:55] Dai**
Hold it right there!
**[06:56] Dai**
So what you're saying is...
**[06:57] Dai**
that Madoka is...
**[06:59] Dai**
in love with Kazuma?!
**[07:09] Koy**
You really think
that's what's going on?!
**[07:11] Dai**
You're asking me?!
**[07:14] Dai**
Wait, did you get all worked up
without understanding that part?
**[07:17] Kaz**
She's never been one
for thinking things through.
**[07:20] Koy**
Well, anyway, I'll go tell Madoka...
**[07:24] Kaz**
Hey, Koyori!
**[07:28] Ui**
They're gone.
**[07:31] Dai**
It looks like things just
got a little more interesting.
**[07:34] Kaz**
You can say that again.
**[07:39] ibu**
What then?
**[07:40] ibu**
You made me trek out here in this god awful heat,
**[07:43] ---**
so this better be good.
**[07:45] Ui**
That's right!
**[07:46] Ui**
If it's boring, then it better be
cold, sweet, and delicious!
**[07:49] Dai**
Please keep your complaints
**[07:51] ---**
and the review of the parfait separate.
**[07:54] Kaz**
Daigo, don't forget why we're here.
**[07:57] Dai**
You're right.
**[07:59] Dai**
We wanted to talk to you
**[08:01] ---**
about setting up my
bro and Madoka.
**[08:04] Dai**
We'd really appreciate it
if you guys assisted.
**[08:06] Dai**
I mean, Madoka is a really shy girl
**[08:09] Dai**
and even my big-city bro is pretty naive
**[08:11] ---**
and lost around these parts,
**[08:14] Dai**
so we were thinking
**[08:16] ---**
us friends of theirs could
play a little Cupid and...
**[08:18] ibu**
This is idiotic.
**[08:19] Dai**
What?
**[08:20] Dai**
Hinata, you're against it?
**[08:22] ibu**
I'm not for or against it,
**[08:23] ---**
I just don't see why I have to
get involved in the first place.
**[08:26] Dai**
What do you mean, "why"?
**[08:27] Dai**
Because they're your friends!
**[08:29] Dai**
Can't you do this little thing for your friends?
**[08:32] ibu**
Whatever. I'm not helping you.
**[08:35] Ui**
Ibuki!
**[08:48] Ui**
Wait, Ibuki, wait!!
**[08:57] Ui**
What's wrong?
**[08:59] Ui**
You're not acting like yourself at all!
**[09:02] ibu**
Are you okay with this, Ui?
**[09:06] ibu**
Him and Madoka getting together?
**[09:09] Ui**
Well, I...
**[09:12] Ui**
I mean, to me,
**[09:15] ---**
Kazu is like an older brother.
**[09:18] Ui**
So... well...
**[09:25] ibu**
Fine.
**[09:27] ibu**
If that's how you feel, then fine.
**[09:30] Ui**
Ibuki?
**[09:33] mado**
You want me to go out with Kazuma?!
**[09:36] Kaz**
That's right!
**[09:37] Kaz**
We've discussed it with Daigo,
**[09:39] ---**
and we've all decided
to support your love!
**[09:42] mado**
L-L-L-love?!
**[09:44] Koy**
We've got a really good plan,
**[09:46] ---**
so the whole thing is smooth sailing!
**[09:50] Kaz**
We've invited Hoshino under the pretense
**[09:53] ---**
of going to the amusement park together.
**[09:55] Kaz**
Right before, we'll all call and say
**[09:57] ---**
that something came up
and we have to cancel.
**[09:59] Kaz**
Then you'll be free to
go on a date with him.
**[10:02] mado**
A d-d-d-date?!
**[10:05] Kaz**
We wrote you very
detailed instructions in here.

**[10:40] Kaz**
At the last minute, suddenly neither Daigo,
**[10:42] ---**
nor Koyori, nor Kasane can come.
**[10:45] mado**
It's sure strange!
**[10:47] mado**
I wonder what's going on...
**[10:49] Dai**
Ui and Ibuki had something planned
**[10:51] ---**
so they didn't bother inviting them.
**[10:53] Dai**
Ayumu has another sketching
meet up with the art club.
**[10:56] Dai**
It looks like it's just you and me, Madoka.
**[11:01] Dai**
We might as well have
fun for the rest of them!
**[11:08] mado**
Yes!
**[11:12] Kas**
Looks like it's going pretty well.
**[11:14] ---**
Hey...
**[11:15] Koy**
That's good,
**[11:17] ---**
but did I really have to come dressed like this?
**[11:20] Kaz**
Of course you did!
**[11:22] Kaz**
Daigo and I are wearing disguises,
**[11:25] ---**
so you have got to wear one too.
**[11:39] Kaz**
What ride do you want
to go on first, Madoka?
**[11:43] mado**
Hmm, let me think.
**[11:45] ---**
Umm...
**[11:47] mado**
The Dating Guidebook told me
***SIGN*** 1. Roller Coaster
**[11:49] ---**
to go on the roller coaster first...
**[11:53] mado**
I think I'd like to try the roller coaster first...
**[11:59] Kaz**
That's a surprise.
**[12:00] Kaz**
I would've thought you
wouldn't like these kinds of rides.
**[12:03] mado**
Oh no, I like them just fine.
**[12:09] Kaz**
You're doing great, Koumoto!
**[12:11] Kaz**
First you get the mood up by
**[12:13] ---**
going on the roller
coaster and screaming wildly.
**[12:16] Kaz**
That will make it easier
to talk to each other.
**[12:26] mado**
Make it stop!
**[12:27] mado**
Make it stop! Let me off!
**[12:29] mado**
Mommy!!!!!!!
**[12:37] Kaz**
Are you okay?

**[12:41] Kaz**
Madoka, are you sure you
want to go in there next?
**[12:44] mado**
Of... of course!
**[12:46] mado**
I was raised in a shrine,
**[12:49] ---**
so the supernatural
doesn't faze me one bit!
**[12:54] Kaz**
Next is the classic for couples, the haunted mansion

next thing you know,
you're petting each other!

I'll try that too.

This one's a big eater!
**[14:03] Kaz**
He's just like Ui.

Yes.
**[14:29] mado**
I got up early to make it.
**[14:32] mado**
I hope you'll like it...
**[14:34] Kaz**
If Ui saw this,
she'd start drooling right away!
**[14:39] Kaz**
Thank you!
**[14:41] Kaz**
This is delicious!
**[14:48] Kaz**
Wow!
**[14:49] Kaz**
It sure is high at the top!
**[14:55] Kaz**
I had a lot of fun today, Madoka.
**[14:58] mado**
Yeah, me too.
**[15:00] Kaz**
We've got to come again,
with the others next time!
**[15:03] mado**
You're right.
**[15:04] mado**
Next time, we should
come with the others.
**[15:12] Kas**
They're here!
**[15:15] Koy**
Madoka doesn't look too happy.
**[15:19] Dai**
That's why little kids don't get it.
**[15:21] Koy**
What was that?!
**[15:22] Koy**
What do you mean, Daigoro?
**[15:24] Dai**
Looks to me like they are enjoying
**[15:26] ---**
that subtle and softly burning
**[15:27] ---**
embarrassment that comes after a kiss.
**[15:31] Koy**
You're saying that Kazuma and Madoka kissed?!
**[15:33] Dai**
I think so.
**[15:34] Koy**
So now what?!
**[15:36] Koy**
Are they going to get married?
**[15:38] Dai**
Umm... aren't you rushing things a bit?
**[15:40] Koy**
But, but... they kissed!
**[15:42] Koy**
They're going to have a baby!
**[15:44] Koy**
Then they have to get married quickly!
**[15:50] Koy**
What?
**[15:51] Koy**
What's so funny?
**[15:52] Koy**
This is no laughing matter!
**[16:20] mado**
Kazuma?
**[16:27] Kaz**
Madoka?! Your clothes...
**[16:29] mado**
I felt like wearing something different,
**[16:32] ---**
so I borrowed this from Koyori...
**[16:34] mado**
You don't like it?
**[16:36] Kaz**
No! That's not it at all!
**[16:39] Kaz**
I was just surprised,
because you looked different...
**[16:41] Kaz**
So how come you invited me
**[16:44] ---**
to go hiking with you all alone?
**[16:47] mado**
Well, I...
**[16:51] mado**
That's our bus!
***SIGN*** Inner Yamabiko
**[16:55] mado**
I'm so glad we made it!
**[16:57] mado**
If we missed this bus,
we'd really be waiting a long time.
**[17:01] Kaz**
Yeah.
**[17:14] Kaz**
So this is the mountain path
Ayumu was talking about.
**[17:17] mado**
It's actually not much
more than a hiking trail.
**[17:20] mado**
Even a child could easily walk up here.
**[17:22] mado**
I used to walk it myself all the
time when I was a little girl.
**[17:27] Kaz**
Wow, really?
**[17:37] Kaz**
This is...
**[17:42] mado**
Kazuma, hurry up!
**[17:45] kaz**
Okay.
**[17:56] mado**
I'll make us a spot here.
**[18:07] Kaz**
Got it!
**[18:28] Kaz**
Wait... were you that
girl from way back then?
**[18:40] mado**
I'd never really gotten along with boys
**[18:43] mado**
so I didn't have anyone to
play with in our neighborhood,
**[18:45] ---**
and I'd just come here by myself.
**[18:49] mado**
One day, I was up here again
and this boy came over
**[18:53] ---**
and started to play with me.
**[18:55] mado**
He was different somehow from
all the neighborhood boys.
**[18:59] mado**
He was so nice and wonderful.
**[19:02] ---**
He made me think of a prince.
**[19:08] mado**
We only played together that once,
**[19:11] ---**
but I never could forget him.
**[19:14] mado**
I've replayed that time in my mind
**[19:18] ---**
over and over again,
until it felt like
**[19:20] mado**
we really had played together all the time.
**[19:27] mado**
Thinking about it now,
**[19:29] ---**
I'm wondering if it might
have been love at first sight.
**[19:34] Kaz**
You could've just told
me the first time we met.
**[19:38] mado**
You're right.
**[19:40] mado**
I should've,
**[19:41] ---**
but the first time we met at my temple,
**[19:44] ---**
it was so sudden, and after that,
**[19:46] mado**
I just didn't know what to do anymore.
**[19:49] Kaz**
I guess lots of things started happening
**[19:51] ---**
and the time was never right.
**[19:55] mado**
I guess that was one reason,
**[19:56] ---**
but I think I was hoping that
**[19:58] mado**
I wouldn't have to say anything.
**[19:59] ---**
That you would remember
it and mention it yourself.
**[20:05] mado**
I had been thinking
about you for so long
**[20:07] mado**
that I hoped, on some small level,
**[20:09] ---**
even if it was only a one-hundredth
or a one-thousandth of all that,
**[20:12] mado**
you'd remember me yourself.
**[20:16] mado**
I wanted to think I had a place inside you,
**[20:19] ---**
however small it may be.
**[20:23] mado**
Even this outfit...
**[20:24] ---**
I picked it because I had
worn something like it that day.
**[20:27] mado**
I was hoping you might
remember if you saw it.
**[20:30] Kaz**
I'm sorry.
**[20:31] Kaz**
I had no idea you thought
about me like this.
**[20:34] Kaz**
I mean, I was a little kid
when that all happened.
**[20:38] Kaz**
I'm sure I had asked your name, but I'd forgotten.
**[20:40] Kaz**
And then, your hair was
short back then and you've...
**[20:44] ---**
changed a lot since then.
**[20:51] mado**
It's fine.
**[20:52] mado**
It's enough for me that
you remembered at all.
**[20:57] Kaz**
Madoka, I...
**[20:58] mado**
I know.
**[21:00] ---**
I know how you feel.
**[21:08] mado**
Kazuma, do you remember
**[21:11] ---**
what you said to me that day,
**[21:13] ---**
when we were saying our goodbyes?
**[21:16] Kaz**
Madoka...
**[21:19] mado**
Will you say it to me again?
**[21:39] mado**
This is weird, isn't it?
**[21:41] mado**
It's not like we won't
see each other again.
**[21:43] mado**
And here I am, crying...
**[21:49] Kaz**
That's right, Madoka.
**[21:52] Kaz**
We'll always be friends.

**[00:02] Dai**
It's such a waste,
**[00:05] Dai**
I can't believe you rejected Madoka.
**[00:08] kaz**
I can't reject her
**[00:09] ---**
when Madoka and I aren't like that,
**[00:11] ---**
how often do I have to tell you?
**[00:15] kaz**
You know,
**[00:16] ---**
you've been talking about
this ever since school started.
**[00:19] Dai**
Come on! We're talking
about Madoka here!
**[00:22] Dai**
And her... and her...
bouncy bouncy, jiggly thi-

Good morning!

M-morning.

Morning, Madoka!

**[02:14] ibu**
So they've decided to give
the part of the goddess
**[02:18] ---**
to Tsumugi in this year's festival?
**[02:20] Ui**
Yeah!
**[02:21] ---**
And Hina and I both
got supporting roles.
**[02:23] ibu**
Oh, the handmaidens to the goddess, huh?
**[02:27] ibu**
But why didn't you just try out
for the role of the goddess?
**[02:31] ui**
Huh?
**[02:32] ibu**
I mean, the male god is
going to Hoshino, right?
**[02:35] ibu**
You could have just
told him how you feel
**[02:37] ---**
at the ceremony of calling one another.
**[02:40] Ui**
W-What are you talking about, Ibuki?
**[02:43] Ui**
I-I mean, I've heard that people
use that ceremony to propose,
**[02:49] ---**
but that's an old story,
**[02:52] Ui**
and even then,
it's usually the god
**[02:55] ---**
who proposes to the goddess...
**[02:57] ibu**
Yeah, well, there's equality
of the sexes now.
**[02:59] ibu**
Why couldn't the goddess
confess her feelings first?
**[03:02] Ui**
I guess so.
**[03:05] Ui**
What am I saying?
**[03:06] Ui**
To me, Kazu's like...
**[03:08] Ui**
how should I say it...
**[03:11] ---**
like an older brother.
**[03:15] Ui**
I don't know if there's really
anything to confess and...
**[03:21] ibu**
If you keep being like that,
**[03:22] ---**
someone will steal him
from under your nose.
**[03:25] Ui**
Like who?
**[03:27] ibu**
Like Hina or Koyori or...
**[03:30] Ui**
I don't think so.
**[03:32] ibu**
Or maybe...
**[03:34] ---**
me.
**[03:35] Ui**
Huh?
**[03:41] ibu**
Just kidding!
**[03:44] Ui**
Oh, you were just kidding.
**[03:47] Ui**
You really had me there for a second.
**[03:53] ---**
Hinata
**[04:07] ibu**
Was I just joking?
**[04:16] Ui**
Confessing your feelings, huh?
**[04:20] Ui**
That's what she said,
but what should I do?
**[04:23] Ui**
What if I did say something to him
**[04:27] ---**
and he accepted the whole idea?
**[04:31] Ui**
Then, what if then, just maybe...
**[04:39] Ui**
I'm coming!
**[04:42] Ui**
Hello.
**[04:45] Ui**
Ayumu?
**[04:48] Ui**
What?
**[04:48] Ui**
You want to draw me?!
**[04:59] Sis**
You're up late.
**[05:02] kaz**
Good morning.
**[05:03] Sis**
It's already noon!
**[05:05] Sis**
I know it's Sunday,
**[05:06] ---**
but shouldn't you get
up a little earlier?
**[05:08] kaz**
I'm sorry.
**[05:09] kaz**
I was up really late last night.
**[05:12] Sis**
What's wrong?
**[05:13] ---**
Nothing...
**[05:15] kaz**
Is this deja vu or what?
**[05:18] kaz**
I feel like this has
happened to me before.
**[05:21] Sis**
It's not deja vu!
**[05:22] ---**
This is when you've been getting up
**[05:24] ---**
every Sunday since you got here!
**[05:26] Sis**
Hurry up and eat your breakfast,
**[05:28] ---**
and then go for a walk or something.
**[05:30] Sis**
I can't clean your room
if you're in the way.
**[05:33] kaz**
Y-yes.
**[05:38] kaz**
All right.
**[05:39] kaz**
I'm off.
**[05:40] Sis**
Take care!
**[05:41] Sis**
Why don't you go for a nice, long walk.
**[05:50] Sis**
Ayumu?
**[06:02] kaz**
I guess I can take a walk...
**[06:09] kaz**
Oh well, I could go to the shrine again...
**[06:15] kaz**
Maybe not.
**[06:17] kaz**
I guess I'll check out the
shopping district today.
**[06:31] kaz**
Oh... Ibuki?
**[06:35] ibu**
Ho-Hoshino!
**[06:38] kaz**
What are you doing here?
**[06:41] ibu**
I'm not doing anything special!
**[06:44] ibu**
I just had a little
free time, that's all.
**[06:49] kaz**
Same here.
**[06:52] kaz**
Want some?
**[06:55] ibu**
No way!
**[06:56] ibu**
I don't want to have an
indirect kiss with you!
**[07:00] kaz**
Don't you hang out with Ui
**[07:02] ---**
when you have some free time.
**[07:04] ibu**
We usually do,
**[07:07] ---**
but today she said she was busy.
**[07:10] kaz**
Oh. I see.
**[07:12] ibu**
And lately,
whenever I'm alone with her,
**[07:15] ---**
I feel like I can't resist
saying weird things.
**[07:18] ibu**
That's it!
**[07:19] kaz**
Huh?
**[07:19] ibu**
Want to go to Honchou with me?
**[07:23] kaz**
You mean, just us alone?
**[07:25] ibu**
Hey, you guys all went
to Honchou without me
**[07:28] ---**
when I had my archery club
meeting that one time!
**[07:32] kaz**
Yeah...
**[07:34] ibu**
So now I want my raincheck.
**[07:39] kaz**
Okay, this will be like revenge for last time.
**[07:43] ibu**
Yeah!
**[07:48] Ui**
I'm coming in.
**[07:54] ayu**
Thanks so much for coming
on your day off.
**[07:58] Ui**
It's fine! I didn't have
anything to do today anyway.
**[08:01] ayu**
I'll get my stuff out right away.
**[08:03] Ui**
I guess I'll get ready too then.
**[08:11] ayu**
W-W-Why are you
taking your clothes off?!
**[08:15] Ui**
I'm so sorry!
**[08:17] Ui**
I thought that since
I was posing for art,
**[08:19] ---**
it would be in the nude.
**[08:21] ayu**
No!
**[08:40] Song**

**[09:56] ibu**
All that singing made me thirsty.
**[10:01] Wait**
Come in.
**[10:03] Wait**
Excuse me.
**[10:05] ibu**
Wow, so this is the famous HoneyTo!
**[10:10] kaz**
I don't think we ordered that.
**[10:13] Wait**
Actually, today is "Couple's Day,",
so it's on the house.
**[10:17] Both**
Couple?!
**[10:19] Wait**
We're also offering a
chance to take a picture
**[10:22] ---**
of the two of you
drinking it together.
**[10:25] Wait**
Would you like me to take one?
**[10:39] ayu**
Ui, shall we take a little break?
**[10:43] Ui**
'K.
**[10:47] Ui**
Yup, it's gotta be Oyaki at this time of year.
**[10:52] ayu**
You must be tired from
sitting still for so long.
**[10:55] ayu**
I'm sorry.
**[10:57] Ui**
I'm not really that tired.
**[10:59] ---**
My shoulders are a little stiff though.
**[11:01] ayu**
Maybe I should have
told you this before,
**[11:06] ayu**
but I'm actually planning
to give this picture
**[11:09] ---**
to my brother as a present.
**[11:11] ui**
What? You're going to give it to Kazu?
**[11:14] ayu**
Is that... not okay?
**[11:16] Ui**
I guess it's fine. But why?
**[11:20] ayu**
When we all went to
**[11:22] ---**
the beach that one time
during summer vacation,
**[11:24] ---**
Tsumugi told me...
**[11:27] Tsu**
*You shouldn't say that, Ayumu.*
**[11:29] Tsu**
*I think your brother*
**[11:30] ---**
*doing everything he can
to keep you smiling.*
**[11:33] Tsu**
*I'm sure it would make him sad*
**[11:36] ---**
*to see you looking down because of that.*
**[11:40] Tsu**
*If you want to thank your brother
for all he's done for you,*
**[11:43] Tsu**
*you shouldn't think of the
things he did as a debt.*
**[11:46] Tsu**
*Instead, you should just
try to make him smile*
**[11:51] ---**
*for every time he made you smile.*
**[11:53] ayu**
That got me wondering
if there was anything
**[11:57] ---**
I could do to make my brother smile.
**[12:01] ayu**
Then I remembered that
when I was little,
**[12:03] ---**
I used to give him pictures I had drawn
**[12:05] ayu**
and it always made him really happy.
**[12:08] ayu**
So then...
**[12:09] Ui**
"...to make my older brother smile."
**[12:13] Ui**
But... why did you pick me as a model?
**[12:17] ayu**
Because you're
going out, aren't you?
**[12:22] ayu**
So I thought it would
make him really happy
**[12:25] ---**
if I gave him a picture
**[12:27] ayu**
of the girl he likes.
**[12:29] ---**
Was I wrong?
**[12:32] ayu**
Kasane told me that
**[12:33] ---**
the reason my brother
couldn't go out with Madoka
**[12:36] ayu**
is that he was already
going out with you.
**[12:40] ---**
So I thought...
**[12:42] Ui**
No! I'm not going out with him yet...
**[12:46] Ui**
Huh?
**[12:50] Ui**
I guess I should say that
**[12:52] ---**
Kazu is more like an
older brother to me.
**[12:56] Tsu**
That's not true.
**[13:01] ayu**
Tsumugi!
**[13:03] Tsu**
Kazuma is Ayumu's older brother.
**[13:06] Tsu**
Not yours.
**[13:10] Tsu**
Wow, you're doing a really great job!
**[13:13] Tsu**
I'm sure Kazuma will be
**[13:14] ---**
really happy to get that once it's done!
**[13:17] Tsu**
Good luck with the rest.

**[13:37] ayu**
Thanks for helping me today.
**[13:40] ayu**
Oh and...
**[13:42] ---**
could you keep this a
secret from my brother?
**[13:45] Ui**
Yeah, sure!
**[13:49] Ui**
So, this is all hypothetical now...
**[13:53] ---**
but say... say...
**[13:56] Ui**
Kazu and I really did start to go out,
**[13:59] Ui**
would you be okay with that?
**[14:01] ayu**
Huh?
**[14:02] Ui**
I mean, it might make you
feel like I was trying
**[14:06] Ui**
to steal your brother away from you.
**[14:09] ---**
So would you... would you...
**[14:12] ---**
still be all right with it?
**[14:15] ayu**
Yeah, huh.
**[14:17] ayu**
I guess it might make
me feel a little lonely,
**[14:21] ayu**
but if it made my brother happy,
**[14:25] ---**
it would make me happy too.
**[15:04] ibu**
That was so much fun!
**[15:06] kaz**
I guess you got your
revenge for missing out.
**[15:09] ibu**
Yeah!
**[15:10] ibu**
Oh! I was wondering what you were drinking.
**[15:14] ---**
Melon Soda
**[15:15] ibu**
Oh, so you wanted to drink
**[15:18] ---**
that cream soda with me, huh?
**[15:21] kaz**
Come on!
**[15:22] kaz**
Of course not!
**[15:25] ibu**
I guess to strangers,
we look like a couple, huh?
**[15:32] ibu**
So uh... wanna just go out?
**[15:38] kaz**
What are you talking about?
**[15:40] kaz**
Stop joking around!
**[15:46] ibu**
Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry for being weird!
**[15:51] ibu**
It was just a joke.
**[15:52] ibu**
A joke, yeah...
**[16:03] ibu**
*I guess to strangers,
we look like a couple, huh?*
**[16:09] ibu**
*So uh... wanna just go out?*
**[16:18] ibu**
*Yeah, you're right.
I'm sorry for being weird!*
**[16:57] kaz**
Ibuki!
**[17:02] kaz**
I'm sorry!
**[17:04] kaz**
This is going to be
**[17:07] ---**
really embarrassing if
I misinterpreted you,
**[17:11] kaz**
but if you really meant it
about going out,
**[17:16] ---**
then I'm truly sorry!
**[17:18] kaz**
It was just so out of the blue
**[17:19] ---**
that I didn't know what to say,
**[17:22] kaz**
and that's why I reacted like that.
**[17:29] ibu**
Don't be an idiot.
**[17:32] ibu**
Did you really think
I was being serious?
**[17:36] ibu**
So you see,
**[17:38] ---**
you didn't have to run
all the way over here
**[17:40] ---**
like a true idiot.
**[17:43] ibu**
Like I would ever
**[17:46] ---**
mean something like that seriously...
**[18:13] ibu**
I'm back.
**[18:14] ---**
Welcome back.
**[18:16] Mom**
Oh, you're soaked!
**[18:19] ibu**
Yeah. I got a little dumped on.
**[18:27] Ui**
"...anything I could do
to make my bother smile," huh?
**[18:33] Ui**
I always say that I love
my brother so much,
**[18:37] ---**
but I was never able to make him smile.
**[18:41] Ui**
Quite the contrary,
**[18:42] ---**
I actually made my brother
and his new wife Kuriko sad.
**[18:49] Ui**
Why couldn't I say "congratulations"
to them back then?
**[18:54] Ui**
My brother would've
probably been so happy
**[18:57] ---**
if I had properly congratulated them.
**[19:05] Ui**
Wait a minute...
**[19:07] Ui**
It might be too late now
**[19:09] ---**
and maybe it won't really
**[19:11] ---**
make my brother happy anymore,
**[19:13] Ui**
but I'm going to call him!
**[19:15] Ui**
I'll do what I couldn't do back then:
**[19:17] ---**
say "congratulations"!

but his wife.
**[22:17] ibu**
That's pretty obvious!
**[22:20] ibu**
So you're going to be an aunt!
**[22:22] Ui**
Yeah!

The next episode will already be the finale.
**[24:02] sis**
Thinking back, a lot has happened, huh?
**[24:04] sis**
It tasted like cheese,
**[24:06] sis**
acorns hurt more than you think.
**[24:08] ayu**
The pink Nyanbobo,
**[24:10] ayu**
my brother's king cobra attacked,
**[24:12] ayu**
it wasn't embarrassing because
**[24:13] ayu**
it was a loin cloth, not undies...
**[24:15] sis**
there was some suspicion
about indecent homoeroticism,
**[24:17] ---**
but we're going out
**[24:18] ---**

**[24:20] sis**
Brotherly Love is Justice!
**[24:21] sis**
No matter how you twist it!
**[24:23] sis**
Justice!

**[00:12] kazu**
What?
**[00:13] kazu**
I'm playing the male god for the festival?!
**[00:15] Sis**
W-Why do I have to do that?
**[00:18] Sis**
What do you mean, "why?"
**[00:20] Sis**
Because the person who
wins the Hikonan race
**[00:22] Sis**
is the person who plays the
male god in the festival.
**[00:27] Sis**
Did nobody tell you?
**[00:29] kazu**
No.
**[00:31] kazu**
Anyway, Koyori won the race.
**[00:36] Sis**
Koyori may be a tomboy,
but she's still a girl.
**[00:39] Sis**
There's no way she can play
the role of the male god.
**[00:42] kazu**
I guess not.
**[00:45] Sis**
That's why the role
**[00:46] ---**
is played by the first
place male, which is you.
**[00:50] Sis**
It's a great honor to represent
all the males of Yamabiko,
**[00:53] ---**
so do your best.
**[00:55] kazu**
Right...
**[00:57] kazu**
Is it really okay
**[00:59] ---**
for an outsider to play
such an important role?
**[01:03] Sis**
What are you talking about?
**[01:05] Sis**
If anything, that makes it better.
**[01:07] Sis**
Of course the festival
**[01:08] ---**
does celebrate the story
of the Twin Peaks,
**[01:12] ---**
but it's also about
the Heavenly Messenger.
**[01:15] Sis**
By accepting new blood from outside,
the village is blessed.
**[01:29] Sis**
Which is why a boy like yourself,
**[01:30] ---**
coming in from the outside
**[01:32] ---**
to sow his fresh seed,
**[01:34] Sis**
perfectly fits the role of the
male god of this tradition.
**[01:40] kazu**
Isn't it a little too
early for talk like this?
**[01:42] Ayu**
What does she mean by "seed"?
**[01:45] kazu**
Well, uh...
**[01:47] Sis**
Ayumu, what I meant by "seed" is...
**[01:51] kazu**
Sis!
**[01:55] Dai**
Wow, lucky!
**[01:57] Dai**
You get to play the god in the festival!
**[01:59] kazu**
Is it that great?
**[02:00] Dai**
Hello!
**[02:02] Dai**
The goddess is played by Tsumugi.
**[02:04] Dai**
You know, with her
boing-boing, bouncy...
**[02:07] kazu**
Do you think about anything else?
**[02:09] Dai**
So, are you going to use
**[02:11] ---**
this chance to confess your feelings?
**[02:15] kazu**
Why do I have to confess anything?!
**[02:17] Dai**
Come on!
**[02:18] ---**
It's pretty much accepted now
**[02:20] ---**
that during the Calling of the Names,
**[02:21] Dai**
the person playing the god
**[02:23] ---**
may confess his feelings to the person
**[02:25] ---**
playing the goddess.
**[02:27] kazu**
Really?
**[02:29] Dai**
Tsumugi's a good example,
**[02:31] ---**
but the role of the goddess always
**[02:33] Dai**
goes to the most beautiful
girl in the village.
**[02:36] ---**
Which is why they say
**[02:38] ---**
they started the Hikonan
Race to begin with.
**[02:42] Dai**
Guys would compete in droves
**[02:44] ---**
to secure the right to play
the god and then confess
**[02:47] Dai**
to the goddess.
**[02:51] Dai**
Back in our grandparents' time,
**[02:54] ---**
people did get together after having
**[02:57] Dai**
confessed at the festival.
**[03:00] Dai**
There's also this belief that
**[03:02] ---**
any year where the confessions leads
**[03:04] Dai**
to a couple will be a
bumper year for crops.
**[03:07] kazu**
Okay, but why do I have
to confess to Tsumugi?
**[03:10] Hin**
Good morning!
**[03:12] Hin**
What are you guys talking about?
**[03:13] Hin**
What's this about Tsumugi?
**[03:15] Hin**
It's nothing.
**[03:17] Ui**
Good morning...
**[03:20] kazu**
G-Good morning...
***SIGN*** Juniors
**[03:32] Dai**
God, my mom sure does talk a lot.
**[03:38] Dai**
What are you going to do today, bro?
**[03:40] Dai**
Wanna all go to the Back Pipe?
**[03:42] hina**
I can't. I've got archery.
**[03:44] kazu**
I can't either.
**[03:45] kazu**
I've got a costume fitting for
the festival at the temple today.
**[03:49] Dai**
So I guess the same
goes for you, too, Ui.
**[03:51] Ui**
Yeah.
**[03:53] Dai**
Oh well.
**[03:55] Dai**
I guess I'll just go home
alone by my lonesome.
**[03:57] Voice**
If you're lonely,
I'll keep you company.
**[04:01] Voice**
It seems like the impending
festival's made you all soft
**[04:05] Voice**
so I'll instill some
discipline into you!
**[04:07] Voice**
Me, myself, and you are going to have
**[04:09] ---**
a parent-teacher-student talk!
**[04:18] kazu**
I sure wasn't expecting
**[04:21] ---**
to play the role of the male god.
**[04:23] Ui**
Yeah. I bet it was a shock.
**[04:37] kazu**
Uh...
**[04:37] Ui**
Uh...
**[04:38] Ui**
What is it?
**[04:39] kazu**
You first.
**[04:43] Ui**
Oh, it's n-nothing.
**[04:58] Sa**
You're not talking.
**[05:03] kazu**
When did you get here?
**[05:04] kazu**
You could've said something!
**[05:16] hina**
What's wrong?
**[05:17] hina**
If you don't hurry up, you'll be late.
**[05:34] Kas**
Wow!
**[05:35] Kas**
That looks pretty good on you!
**[05:37] mom**
You certainly look
30% more manly.
**[05:40] kazu**
Thanks.
**[05:41] Kas**
Why don't I get a quick picture of that?
**[05:44] kazu**
Huh?
**[05:45] kazu**
I don't mind if you take some pictures,
**[05:47] ---**
but why are you here anyway?
**[05:49] Kas**
It's for coverage!
**[05:51] Kas**
As the official ears of Yamabiko,
**[05:53] ---**
I couldn't possibly let
such a juicy story go!
**[05:57] Kas**
Just so you know,
**[05:59] ---**
I would never even think of
**[06:02] ---**
selling Tsumugi's goddess pictures
**[06:04] Kas**
to the high-school boys
for loads of cash.
**[06:09] Tsu**
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
**[06:26] Kas**
Wow, you look so beautiful!
**[06:28] Tsu**
Thank you, Kasane.
**[06:30] Kas**
Hina and Nakatsugawa,
**[06:32] ---**
you look very maidenly as well.
**[06:46] mom**
Thanks for waiting.
**[06:47] mom**
The tea is ready now.
**[06:50] mom**
I'm sorry;
**[06:51] ---**
I'm making you work even
when you're a guest.
**[06:54] Tsu**
It's no problem at all.
**[06:57] mom**
I bet your shoulders are stiff.
**[06:58] ---**
You're not used to those clothes.
**[06:59] kazu**
It wasn't that bad.
**[07:01] Mad**
Where's Nakatsugawa?
**[07:04] Kas**
She went to the bathroom.
**[07:05] Kas**
She said she had to go all
through the fitting...
**[07:08] Sis**
She could've just said something.
**[07:11] Tsu**
I'm going to the bathroom too.
**[07:17] Kas**
Aren't you playing the
Heavenly Messenger this year?
**[07:21] Mad**
Yes.
**[07:22] Mad**
It's hard. I've got dance
practice for it every day.
**[07:25] Kas**
Don't you have a
costume fitting too?
**[07:28] Mad**
Sure, but it's not right now.
**[07:31] Kas**
I can't wait to see you in your outfit!
**[07:36] Kas**
That reminds me!
**[07:37] Kas**
Can I take a picture of
you by the front shrine?
**[07:42] Sis**
Why not?
**[07:43] Sis**
You have to get the
costume fitted anyway.
**[07:46] Kas**
Then it's settled.
**[07:47] mado**
Huh?
**[07:48] Kas**
After we finish our tea,
**[07:49] ---**
get changed and we'll go
to the front shrine!
**[07:55] Tsu**
Ui?
**[07:57] Ui**
Tsumugi?
**[08:00] Tsu**
Mind if we have a little chat here?
**[08:05] Tsu**
Did you and Kazuma get into a fight?
**[08:12] Tsu**
Then what's wrong?
**[08:13] Tsu**
I feel like there's something
strange between you two.
**[08:19] Ui**
It's just...
**[08:22] Tsu**
I'm sorry.
**[08:24] Tsu**
You don't have to tell me,
if you don't want to.
**[08:26] Tsu**
I suddenly understood.
**[08:28] Tsu**
What?
**[08:29] Ui**
Until now, I always thought
of Kazu as an older brother,
**[08:34] Ui**
so it was fun being with him.
**[08:37] ---**
It made me feel
**[08:37] ---**
safe and warm and fuzzy inside.
**[08:40] Ui**
But...
**[08:41] Ui**
But then I realized my older
brother is my older brother
**[08:43] Ui**
and Kazu isn't really
my brother and then...
**[08:47] Ui**
It was like
**[08:48] ---**
I couldn't really act
normal around him anymore.
**[08:51] Ui**
Just looking at him
makes my chest hurt.
**[08:55] Ui**
Just thinking about him
**[08:57] ---**
when I'm home alone
makes my face warm.
**[09:03] Tsu**
Ui, that means you're in love.
**[09:06] Tsu**
But I'm not!
**[09:09] Tsu**
I'm definitely not!
**[09:11] Tsu**
Just because my heart starts
**[09:13] ---**
beating fast when I
think of him doesn't mean
**[09:16] Tsu**
I'm in l-l-love or anything
like that, it's just...
**[09:20] Tsu**
It's... it's actually...
completely different...
**[09:22] Tsu**
I mean...
**[09:25] kazu**
Ui and Tsumugi are taking a while.
**[09:28] kazu**
I wonder if something's going on?
**[09:30] Sak**
Hoshino, why don't you
tell Ui that she's cute?
**[09:35] kazu**
What is that supposed to mean?
**[09:38] Sak**
When you looked at her before,
**[09:40] ---**
you thought she was cute,
**[09:41] ---**
but you didn't say anything.
**[09:44] Sak**
Why?
**[09:47] kazu**
Why?
**[09:50] Sak**
That time when my dad
came to take me home,
**[09:53] ---**
you told him what I wanted
to say, but couldn't.
**[10:00] Sak**
I was so happy then.
**[10:04] Sak**
Though later I realized
**[10:06] ---**
that if you want to
tell someone something,
**[10:08] Sak**
you really need to tell them yourself.
**[10:13] Sak**
I wanted to apologize
for that misunderstanding
**[10:16] ---**
we had when we first met
**[10:18] ---**
for such a long time.
**[10:21] Sak**
When I was finally able to say it,
**[10:25] ---**
it made me feel really good.
**[10:27] Sak**
If there's something you want to say,
**[10:30] ---**
I think you should go and say it.
**[10:33] kazu**
Sakai...
**[10:40] Tsu**
*Ui, that means you're in love.*
**[10:43] Ui**
Love?
**[10:49] Ui**
I don't know. I just don't...
**[10:53] Ui**
I don't know anything about love!
**[11:03] ibu**
That's your third yawn.
**[11:05] ibu**
What's wrong with you?
**[11:07] Ui**
I was up late last night.
**[11:09] ibu**
Are you going to be okay?
**[11:10] ibu**
You've got rehearsal for
the festival after school today.
**[11:14] Ui**
Yeah.
**[11:15] Ui**
I'll take a nap during lunch.
**[11:18] Ui**
I'll be fine.
**[11:23] Mom**
Okay, now I'll quickly go over
the plan for the real event.
**[11:27] Mom**
I'll explain the little
details as we get to them,
**[11:30] Mom**
but for now,
I want you all to just have
**[11:32] ---**
an idea of the big picture.
**[11:34] Mom**
First, Madoka will become
the Heavenly Messenger
**[11:36] ---**
and do her dance at the front shrine.
**[11:40] Mom**
The male god, who has been waiting
**[11:42] ---**
at the bottom of the stairs,
**[11:43] Mom**
will receive the scroll
from the Heavenly Messenger.
**[11:47] Mom**
The male god will then
descend the stone stairs
**[11:50] ---**
and get into the cart
that's waiting for him.
**[11:52] Mom**
The goddess will change
**[11:53] ---**
in one of the rooms
in the community center,
**[11:56] Mom**
then she should stand-by
with the maidens.
**[11:59] Mom**
You've already played
the role of a maiden,
**[12:01] ---**
so you about this
part, right?
**[12:03] Tsu**
Yes.
**[12:04] Mom**
We'll notify you once the
male god has left his cart
**[12:07] Mom**
and then you and the maidens
**[12:09] ---**
can time your own exit with
**[12:10] ---**
the cart from the front
of the community center
**[12:13] Mom**
Once the carts are facing each
other with the bridge between them,
**[12:16] Mom**
you'll hear the signal
from the big drum,
**[12:17] ---**
and that starts the ceremony
of calling one another.
**[12:20] Mom**
The male god then reads aloud
**[12:21] ---**
the scroll given to him
by the Heavenly Messenger
**[12:23] Mom**
and the goddess reads
the oath given to her
**[12:26] ---**
by the shrine parishioner.
**[12:28] Kas**
Isn't it true that the scroll is written
**[12:30] ---**
anew by the person playing
the Heavenly Messenger?
**[12:33] mado**
Yes.
**[12:34] ---**
It's written with ink that was
**[12:36] ---**
prepared with the morning
dew of that day.
**[12:38] Kas**
So I guess you know
**[12:39] ---**
how to write all those curly characters!
**[12:42] kazu**
Uh... I have a question.
**[12:44] Mom**
Yes, Kazuma?
**[12:45] kazu**
By curly characters, she
means cursive script, right?
**[12:49] kazu**
I can't read things like that at all...
**[12:51] Mom**
Don't worry.
**[12:53] ---**
Both the scroll and oath
will have the pronunciations
***SIGN*** Dedicate this wish
**[12:56] Mom**
written next to the characters.
**[12:58] kazu**
Oh, that's fine then.
**[13:00] Mom**
No worries then?
**[13:01] kazu**
Yeah, I just have to read what's there.
**[13:04] mom**
Just because you're reading
don't take this task lightly.
**[13:06] mom**
Even if you're just reading it,
**[13:09] ---**
you have to put your whole soul into it,
**[13:12] mom**
when you face the goddess,
**[13:13] ---**
then the words will become the truth.
**[13:15] Tsu**
*You have to put your whole soul into it.*
**[13:18] Tsu**
*Then the words will become the truth.*
**[13:26] mado**
Then here I go shake shake.
**[13:29] mado**
Turn once... and then...
**[13:34] mado**
Hello?
**[13:41] mado**
Hello?
**[13:43] mado**
Tsumugi?
**[13:45] mado**
Huh?
**[13:46] mado**
Feigning illness?

Goddess Waiting Room
**[14:57] Kas**
They said that it's almost time,
**[14:59] ---**
so you guys should go to the
dressing room and change.
**[15:01] Tsu**
All right.
**[15:02] Ui**
Okay. Then let's go!
**[15:07] Kas**
Tsumugi, what's wrong?
**[15:09] Tsu**
I suddenly have this terrible
pain in my stomach.
**[15:13] Ui**
We need to call a doctor!
**[15:14] Ui**
Or better yet, an ambulance!!
**[15:16] Tsu**
It's not that bad, Ui.
**[15:18] Tsu**
I think it'll go away
if I go lay down a bit.
**[15:24] Ui**
But...
**[15:25] Tsu**
But the role of the goddess
for the festival...
**[15:27] Kas**
You can't do anything in this state!
**[15:29] Sa**
I think you should ask someone
to play the role for you.
**[15:32] Tsu**
Ui, would you do it for me?
**[15:35] Ui**
Huh?
**[15:35] Ui**
I can't just step in
and play the goddess!
**[15:39] Tsu**
You've been rehearsing
with me all along.
**[15:42] ---**
I'm sure you know exactly what to do.
**[15:46] Tsu**
Just do it like we practiced.
**[15:49] Tsu**
Please...
**[15:52] Ui**
But then we'll be short one maiden.
**[15:56] Sak**
That shouldn't be a problem.
**[15:59] Sak**
We've got someone to play
a maiden right here.
**[16:06] Kas**
Huh?
**[16:07] Kas**
You don't mean me?!
**[16:08] Kas**
But I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't!
**[16:10] Sak**
Kasane, you've been
covering our rehearsals
**[16:13] ---**
in your reports all along.
**[16:15] Sak**
I'm sure you've got it all down.
**[16:18] Kas**
I guess so, but...
**[16:21] Sak**
This is an emergency.
**[16:28] Sak**
Will you do it,
or would you do it?
**[16:30] Sak**
You've got two choices, so pick one.
**[16:33] Kas**
It would be an honor to do it!
**[18:42] Ayu**
Snap out of it!

I'm not saying it was always like that,

it was, how should I say it?

of food and drink left,
**[20:54] [SONG] ---**
so let me know if
anything's missing.
**[20:56] [SONG] Man**
I'm sorry,
**[20:58] [SONG] ---**
we're just a bunch
of bottomless pits
**[20:59] [SONG] ---**
when it comes
to drinking.
**[21:00] [SONG] Sis**
What are you
talking about?
**[21:02] [SONG] Sis**
On the day of
the festival,
**[21:04] [SONG] ---**
those who can serve sake
are the lucky ones.
**[21:08] [SONG] Sis**
However, if you get drunk
and do bad things,
**[21:11] [SONG] ---**
I won't show any mercy.
**[21:21] [SONG] Old**
It was quite something
to see them confess
**[21:24] [SONG] ---**
at the ceremony of
calling one another.
**[21:27] [SONG] Old**
Takes me back to the
time when you did it.
**[21:32] [SONG] Old**
Too bad she didn't
feel the same!
**[21:36] [SONG] Old2**
Gen, can you
just drop it?
**[21:42] [SONG] mom**
Gimme another!
**[21:44] [SONG] Dai**
Mother... dearest...
**[21:45] [SONG] ---**
it seems like you've
had quite a lot...
**[21:48] [SONG] ---**
I'm not sure if
more would be...
**[21:52] [SONG] Mom**
Are you trying
to lecture me?!
**[21:55] [SONG] Mom**
When it's the trouble I have
with you that's making me
**[21:58] [SONG] ---**
drink so much
to begin with?
**[22:01] [SONG] Mom**
Got it?
**[22:03] [SONG] Dai**
I understand
completely!
**[22:06] [SONG] Mom**
If ya do, then
gimme another!
**[22:08] [SONG] Dai**
Yes, ma'am!
**[22:10] [SONG] Girl**
Wow, so you're
an artist?
**[22:13] [SONG] Girl**
Maybe you could
draw me next time.
**[22:17] [SONG] Girl2**
You know, I look pretty
good without my clothes on.
**[22:24] [SONG] All**
Ayumu, Ayumu,
Ayumu, Ayumu!!!
**[22:34] [SONG] Kas**
Koyori, what's that?
**[22:37] [SONG] Koy**
Not bad, huh?
**[22:38] [SONG] Koy**
I won it at
the ring toss!
**[22:40] [SONG] Kas**
Yeah, it's really cute.
**[22:49] [SONG] Koy**
No, that's... no!
**[22:55] [SONG] Tsu**
This is so good!
**[22:57] [SONG] Kas**
I thought you had
a stomach ache!
**[23:00] [SONG] Tsu**
Oh, did I?
**[23:11] mado**
I guess we got rejected.
**[23:14] Ibu**
I guess so.
**[23:17] Ibu**
What am I saying, I never
got rejected... I mean...
**[23:29] Ibu**
I guess it's fine.
**[23:45] Ui**
Wow!
**[23:47] kazu**
You can really see it tonight:
**[23:48] ---**
A starry bridge in the night sky.
**[23:50] Ui**
Yeah.
**[23:53] Ui**
So beautiful!
**[23:57] kazu**
You're right.
**[23:58] kazu**
