**[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...

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!
**[21:09] ---**
Yamabiko South High
***SIGN*** Juniors
**[21:17] I**
Ui!
**[21:18] I**
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
**[24:16] ---**
"It Shouldn't Taste Like Cheese"
**[24:17] ---**
Next Episode
**[24:17] ---**
It Shouldn't Taste Like Cheese
**[24:19] sen**
There's a place on your body that
could potentially taste like chee-
**[24:21] kaz**
Wahhh! Please tune in again!
**[24:24] ---**
