    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?

[02:10] Dai
    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.

    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!

    Cross my heart and hope to die,

    Hey! Where's Hina?
[17:54] Wom
    What do you need with her?
[17:56] Man
    I was going to ask her

    She's training for

    What are you doing here?

    They left me here and I'm so lonely!

    That's so sad. You're all
    alone and you're lonely.
[18:32] saka
    Yeah.
[18:33] saka
    Then do you want to come to my house?
[18:36] saka

    Of course it is.

    Ugh, did he hear all of that?

    Don't worry.

    Yeah.

    I'm really sorry about
    what happened earlier.
[19:21] kazu
    I didn't know you were a senior,

    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

    be visiting a sacred temple.

    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,

[24:23] dai
    Thank you for the treat!
