Episode 4
I met a bear and we talked
Oh, man.
We were really lucky to be able to buy a Nozawa cream sandwich, weren't we?
Is it really that good?
Female Toilet
Male Toilet
I gotta go to the toilet!
Oh! Here, catch!
Ouch...
Sorry! I didn't see you there.
Ah...
Is this...
Your message has been sent.
Thank goodness.
It doesn't seem to be broken.
Thank... you.
Pretty cute, isn't it?
Don't make fun of me.
No, I didn't really mean to...
My little brother likes things like that, so...
Sorry for the wait!
What is it, Bro?
Isn't that Sakai-senpai?
You know her?
I know everything about her!
Sakai Hina-senpai, a third year,
is the only daughter of the owner of Sakai Sake. The store's in Yamabiko!
She and Tsumugi-san are the two Venuses of Hikonan!
If Tsumugi-san is the warm and caring sister,
then Sakai-senpai is the contrasting cool beauty!
With her cool model-like height and cold eyes,
all the guys label her as the number-one senpai and want to be cursed by her,
and the girls want to get Valentine's chocolate from her, no matter what.
Everybody loves her!
So... she's a senior.
Wow! Cool beauty!
I guess that was pretty bad just now...
I've been tall ever since I was young...
I always sat at the back of class.
To say that I'm cute...
No one's ever said that to me before.
So when he said, "Pretty cute, isn't it?"
I was was sure he was making fun of me.
But in the end, he wasn't talking about me...
It's so embarrassing.
Huh?
So our school has its sports festival around this time of year?
Heah, sat's wight.
Ui!
Don't talk with your mouth full!
Since there aren't many students,
all the grades combine together.
It's going to be pretty lively!
There's also the Hikonan Race!
Hikonan Race?
What the hell is that?
To put it simply, it's a marathon around the school campus.
However, that's no fun,
so there are lots of checkpoints.
If you don't finish the assignments given at the checkpoints,
the rule is that you can't move on.
The winners also get prizes,
so it's like the climax for our sports festival!
Are you taking part again as a representative for Bagpipe, Ui?
Yup!
The owner there has been treating me very nicely,
so I've got to repay him, right?
Mind explaining how you became a representative for a café?
The Hikonan Race is sponsored by the whole town,
so everyone who participates will represent one of the stores in our town.
Also, because this is an important event for the town,
people from Cable TV will come to cover it as well!
Huh?
So it's going to be broadcast on TV?
That's not going to happen.
It's local news, so they'll only cover a little bit.
But you get interviewed if you win, right?
That interview is going to be good publicity,
so the people in the shopping district are quite serious about this.
Well, there's that, too.
I think competing to win gets everyone fired up!
I see...
Even so, it has nothing to do with me, I guess...
I'm back!
Ah?!
W-What is it, Nee-san?
Kazuma-kun!
Y-Yes?
Special Training!
Huh?!
I'm going to be a representative for Yorozuyo Inn in the Hikonan Race?
I heard from Ayumu-kun...
...that you showed a lot of promise in the tennis club at your previous school.
Well, I wasn't all that promising...
I can tell without examining you, anyway.
I saw while you were in the bath.
Your thighs seemed pretty strong!
Please don't look at a minor in a weird way!
Special training will start now.
Understand?
This cloth is for use with the glass cleaner.
And this dry cloth is for wiping it clean!
Smear the cleaner on!
Wipe the cleaner off!
Smear the cleaner on!
Wipe the cleaner off!
Try it!
Smear the cleaner on...
Wipe the cleaner off...
Smear the cleaner on...
Wipe the cleaner off...
Um, what's the purpose of this training?
The window will become clean.
Nee-san!
Well, then. I'll stop joking around.
It's time for the real deal!
What are you going to make me do next?
Heat up sand in a wok...
...and make hundreds- No, thousands of holes!
This will make your fingertips harder than steel.
They'll be lethal weapons capable of killing with a single blow...
Okay. I'll go for some running, then.
Wait, Kazuma-kun!
Geez! He doesn't follow the mood.
Hey, you!
Huh?
Up here, up here!
What are you doing? Why did you climb up there?
I'm bringing down a kitten that climbed up too high.
Huh?
A kitten?
More importantly, you were trying to steal my stuff!
Uh, I wasn't doing anything to your stuff.
It looked like you were eyeing the special stuff I bought. You were trying to steal it!
That's no-
N-Not true...
Then why are you looking down at the ground?
Is it because you feel guilty deep down in your heart?!
If you ask me why... That's because...
What is it?
Speak up, Hoshino Kazuma!
The inside of your skirt, you see...
Skirt?
Be careful!
It hurts...
What in the world were you thinking?!
Ouch...
What was I doing? Isn't it obvious? I was trying to save you.
No w-
I see.
You saved me.
Hmm?
However, I didn't know you were Tsumugi-san's little sister...
Ouch!
What are you doing?
You were thinking of something rude, weren't you?
Huh?
Ah, nothing of the sort...
By the way, you bought a lot...
An errand?
No.
I'm buying this for Gen-jii.
Gen-jii?
Gen-jii lives all by himself.
Since it's hard for him to go out and buy groceries,
sometimes I buy things for him.
But why do you do that?
It's because...
If there's a person in need, isn't it common sense to help them?
I'll help you hold your bag.
So you were after this the whole time!
No, I'm not!
I just said I'd help you hold it.
Why would you do that?!
Well...
If there's a person in need, it's common sense to help them, right?
And I can't let a girl carry heavy things, right?
A girl...?!
Carry half of it, then.
Just half of it?
Okay, okay. I'm opening it now.
Yeah?
Nice to meet you...
Well, I'm quite surprised.
To think that Koyori-chan has a boyfriend like you...
What nonsense are you spouting, Gen-jii?!
He's a bad person from the big city...
...who pushed Ui-chi down and made Madoka cry!
Oh?
There's absolutely, definitely no way he can be my b-boyfriend!
Um...
I'm Gengoro.
Yamakawa Gengoro.
I don't mind if you call me Gen-jii, just like Koyori-chan does.
Ah, it's fine.
Gengoro-san, you live here alone, don't you?
Yeah...
My only daughter got married and left.
And three years ago, Nyobo...
I see.
I'm sorry for asking weird questions like that.
There's no need for someone as young as yourself to be so considerate.
It's relaxing for an old man to live alone like this.
However, my grandson, Keita, is going to have surgery soon...
I'm slightly worried about it...
Is it complicated surgery?
No, the doctor told me that the chances of failure are very low. However,
you'd worry for a kid who's having surgery, wouldn't you?
Sorry, Koyori-chan, but can you visit Keita again soon?
Keita seems to benefit a lot from your pampering.
Of course!
Leave it to me!
Pretty cute, isn't it?
Don't make fun of me.
Did I... do something bad?
That's right. He just said that I was cute,
so that attitude was a bit cruel.
Yeah, I think so, too.
I think it'd be best if I apologised...
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi
You really are a sleepyhead.
Good morning.
It's already noon.
Even if it's Sunday, aren't you taking it a bit too easy?
I'm tired from the special training for the Hikonan Race, you know.
Ayumu-kun went out ages ago.
Gone to sketch again?
No, I think I remember him saying he was going to Daigo-kun's place.
Eh? Daigo's place?
Why would Ayumu go to Daigo's place, anyway?
Ah.
But I'm surprised that you're training for Hikonan race so seriously.
Since I'm participating, I can't let people see me do badly, can I?
So, are you participating in the Hikonan race, too?
Me?
No, I'm not.
Then why?
I'm just training a bit on my own for the archery club.
So, is wearing that outfit a regulation of the club?
No, nothing like that.
Isn't it normal to wear your P.E. uniform when you're exercising?
She's fine with wearing that even outside school...
Is this what they call a culture gap?
The countryside is a scary place.
Here.
Huh?
You're thirsty, right?
I don't want you looking at me like you're begging for something to drink, so I'll give you some.
But is it all right?
Wouldn't that be an indirect kiss-
Ouch!
Hitting me in the same place again...
Geez! Are you an idiot?
By the way, Ui said she was participating in the Hikonan race.
Is she training, too?
Yes. Well, she's doing her own kind of training.
A big bowl a ramen to swallow whole!
All right! Ojii-san, count the time.
Okay!
On your mark...
Get set...
Go!
Yes?
Keita-kun, Ojii-chan is coming to see you.
Yo.
Ojii-chan.
And Koyori-chan, too.
Keita, are you feeling well?
If I was well, I wouldn't be in the hospital.
Look here, Keita.
It's unusual for Koyori-chan to come and visit, and that's what you say to her?
Keita, even if you're sick, there's nothing stopping you from feeling well!
You should cheer up, especially when you're feeling sick.
If you do that, you'll drive all the illnesses away!
That's right, Keita.
It's just like Koyori-chan said.
And also, you'll get better after the surgery.
Okay?
Y-Yeah.
If I cheer up, will I really drive the illness away?
Of course! If you cheer up, anything is possible!
I read in a textbook that a famous historical person once said that!
Then, Koyori-neechan, win the Hikonan Race.
Huh?
"If you cheer up, anything is possible," right?
Then-
Keita, don't trouble Koyori-chan by saying selfish things like that.
But...
Okay!
I'll participate in the Hikonan race and win!
But Koyori-chan...
And in exchange for that, if I win, you have to cheer up too, okay?
And after the surgery, you'll get a lot better!
That's a promise!
Yep!
All right! Pinky promise!
Yep!
Pinky promise! If you lie, you'll swallow 1000 needles.
Promise made!
Sakai Sake
This month will be rough, too.
Should I reduce my husband's salary...
Hey, what's up with Hina?
Do you need her for something?
Not really...
I thought I left her in charge of the store for a while.
That girl went running.
Seems like she's expecting something from herself in the Hikonan Race.
What are you doing at a place like this?
Waa... I'm sad that I've been thrown away.
Poor thing.
It's sad that you're all alone.
Yep.
So, want to come to my place?
Oh, is that all right?
Yes.
Could he have heard everything I just said?
It's fine.
He couldn't have.
Um... here.
T-Thank...you.
I'll be going, then...
Ah.
Huh?
W-What?
Sakai-senpai... right?
That's... right...
I'm sorry about what happened before.
I didn't know you were a senior, and I spoke to you so rudely...
I don't really mind.
Really?
That's a relief.
I... forgot to apologise to him again...
I've been skipping class lately, so maybe I should go and pray...
Ready... Start!
Ah, sorry for scaring you.
It's fine.
However, if it's possible,
I would really appreciate it if you'd act in a more dignified manner when you visit our shrine...
My apologies...
I see.
You're training for the Hikonan Race.
Since I'm freeloading at Yorozuyo Inn, Nee-san-
I mean, Senka-san asked me to, and I couldn't refuse.
Work hard!
I'll cheer you on!
Thanks.
I'll work hard to win so I can give Yorozuyo Inn some publicity in an interview.
Also, if you win the Hikonan Race, you get to play the "Ogami role" in the Autumn Festival.
"Ogami role?"
Ah, it means the male god's role.
The Megami and Ogami roles.
I see.
Akino Festival is held in honour of the legend of Futago Mountain, so...
"Calling out from both sides of the bridge that stands out from the mountaintop..."
You seem to be quite familiar with this.
I learned it all from Tsumugi-san, though.
At the start of the festival, the person who plays the role of Ogami will receive the scrolls,
on which the shrine maiden's teachings are written.
He will get onto the festival cart waiting below.
The role of the Megami is played by the village chief,
who leaves from the house of the Shinto shrine parishioners representative.
She holds the scrolls and rides the festival cart to go and meet the Ogami,
who remains on the other side of the bridge.
First, the Ogami recites the scripture to the Megami,
and then, as if to answer to the Ogami, the Megami will recite back .
It's basically reconstructing the image of them calling out to each other and creating Yamabiko Town, right?
Yes.
However, this belief isn't just about the legend of Futago Mountain.
The gods of the mountains descend to the village,
bond with the village and bring blessings with them.
And when the calls and thoughts of passion of the Ogami and Megami reach each other's hearts...
...during the night of the festival, it's said that, as proof, a bridge of stars will form.
A bridge of stars, huh?

A ball, a pole, and then a ball!
What a great selection!
Well, then. Now that I'm all fired up, let's move on to the preview!

"Red Bean Soup, Eel and Wedding Dresses."

Ayumu, could you repeat what you just said one more time?
Ball rolling, ball pushing and pole tossing!
Ah! I got it wrong!
Thanks a lot!
