    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.

[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.

    Yamabiko Oranges
[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!

[06:03] Man
    We'll start where we
     left off yesterday...
[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.

[10:12] 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.

    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
    Sorry for interrupting your mutual
    brotherly back washing ritual.
[24:08] sen
    The next time on A Bridge To
    The Starry Skies: Episode 3
[24:11] sen
    Episode 3
[24:11] sen
    Next time: Acorns Hurt More than You Think
[24:11] sen
    Acorns Hurt More than You Think
[24:13] sen
    Ayumu, can you think of a place
[24:15] ---
    on your body where it
    would hurt to put acorns?
[24:19] ayu
    Hmm, my nostrils?
[24:22] kaz
    Safe!
