It's such a waste,
I can't believe you rejected Madoka.
I can't reject her
when Madoka and I aren't like that,
how often do I have to tell you?
You know,
you've been talking about this ever since school started.
Come on! We're talking about Madoka here!
And her... and her... bouncy bouncy, jiggly thi-
Good morning!
M-morning.
Morning, Madoka!
Episode 11
Wet From The Rain
So they've decided to give the part of the goddess
to Tsumugi in this year's festival?
Yeah!
And Hina and I both got supporting roles.
Oh, the handmaidens to the goddess, huh?
But why didn't you just try out for the role of the goddess?
Huh?
I mean, the male god is going to Hoshino, right?
You could have just told him how you feel
at the ceremony of calling one another.
W-What are you talking about, Ibuki?
I-I mean, I've heard that people use that ceremony to propose,
but that's an old story,
and even then, it's usually the god
who proposes to the goddess...
Yeah, well, there's equality of the sexes now.
Why couldn't the goddess confess her feelings first?
I guess so.
What am I saying?
To me, Kazu's like...
how should I say it...
like an older brother.
I don't know if there's really anything to confess and...
If you keep being like that,
someone will steal him from under your nose.
Like who?
Like Hina or Koyori or...
I don't think so.
Or maybe...
me.
Huh?
Just kidding!
Oh, you were just kidding.
You really had me there for a second.
Hinata
Was I just joking?
Confessing your feelings, huh?
That's what she said, but what should I do?
What if I did say something to him
and he accepted the whole idea?
Then, what if then, just maybe...
I'm coming!
Hello.
Ayumu?
What?
You want to draw me?!
You're up late.
Good morning.
It's already noon!
I know it's Sunday,
but shouldn't you get up a little earlier?
I'm sorry.
I was up really late last night.
What's wrong?
Nothing...
Is this deja vu or what?
I feel like this has happened to me before.
It's not deja vu!
This is when you've been getting up
every Sunday since you got here!
Hurry up and eat your breakfast,
and then go for a walk or something.
I can't clean your room if you're in the way.
Y-yes.
All right.
I'm off.
Take care!
Why don't you go for a nice, long walk.
Ayumu?
I guess I can take a walk...
Oh well, I could go to the shrine again...
Maybe not.
I guess I'll check out the shopping district today.
Oh... Ibuki?
Ho-Hoshino!
What are you doing here?
I'm not doing anything special!
I just had a little free time, that's all.
Same here.
Want some?
No way!
I don't want to have an indirect kiss with you!
Don't you hang out with Ui
when you have some free time.
We usually do,
but today she said she was busy.
Oh. I see.
And lately, whenever I'm alone with her,
I feel like I can't resist saying weird things.
That's it!
Huh?
Want to go to Honchou with me?
You mean, just us alone?
Hey, you guys all went to Honchou without me
when I had my archery club meeting that one time!
Yeah...
So now I want my raincheck.
Okay, this will be like revenge for last time.
Yeah!
I'm coming in.
Thanks so much for coming on your day off.
It's fine! I didn't have anything to do today anyway.
I'll get my stuff out right away.
I guess I'll get ready too then.
W-W-Why are you taking your clothes off?!
I'm so sorry!
I thought that since I was posing for art,
it would be in the nude.
No!
Sky.
Hanging around in this town under the clear sky.
Heart.
The sweet memories that pile up in this heart.
Oh baby, I want to burn your smile into my memory.
Baby, I won't even miss a single moment.
Shining, shining star.
This is the time,
oh shining, shining spark,
that I wish would never end.
Shining, shining days
under the stars.
Wishing your star.
Wishing my star.
Please deliver my feelings.
It's my message!
All that singing made me thirsty.
Come in.
Excuse me.
Wow, so this is the famous HoneyTo!
I don't think we ordered that.
Actually, today is "Couple's Day,", so it's on the house.
Couple?!
We're also offering a chance to take a picture
of the two of you drinking it together.
Would you like me to take one?
Ui, shall we take a little break?
'K.
Yup, it's gotta be Oyaki at this time of year.
You must be tired from sitting still for so long.
I'm sorry.
I'm not really that tired.
My shoulders are a little stiff though.
Maybe I should have told you this before,
but I'm actually planning to give this picture
to my brother as a present.
What? You're going to give it to Kazu?
Is that... not okay?
I guess it's fine. But why?
When we all went to
the beach that one time during summer vacation,
Tsumugi told me...
You shouldn't say that, Ayumu.
I think your brother
doing everything he can to keep you smiling.
I'm sure it would make him sad
to see you looking down because of that.
If you want to thank your brother for all he's done for you,
you shouldn't think of the things he did as a debt.
Instead, you should just try to make him smile
for every time he made you smile.
That got me wondering if there was anything
I could do to make my brother smile.
Then I remembered that when I was little,
I used to give him pictures I had drawn
and it always made him really happy.
So then...
"...to make my older brother smile."
But... why did you pick me as a model?
Because you're going out, aren't you?
So I thought it would make him really happy
if I gave him a picture
of the girl he likes.
Was I wrong?
Kasane told me that
the reason my brother couldn't go out with Madoka
is that he was already going out with you.
So I thought...
No! I'm not going out with him yet...
Huh?
I guess I should say that
Kazu is more like an older brother to me.
That's not true.
Tsumugi!
Kazuma is Ayumu's older brother.
Not yours.
Wow, you're doing a really great job!
I'm sure Kazuma will be
really happy to get that once it's done!
Good luck with the rest.
A Bridge To the Starry Skies
Hoshizora E Kakaru Hashi
Thanks for helping me today.
Oh and...
could you keep this a secret from my brother?
Yeah, sure!
So, this is all hypothetical now...
but say... say...
Kazu and I really did start to go out,
would you be okay with that?
Huh?
I mean, it might make you feel like I was trying
to steal your brother away from you.
So would you... would you...
still be all right with it?
Yeah, huh.
I guess it might make me feel a little lonely,
but if it made my brother happy,
it would make me happy too.
That was so much fun!
I guess you got your revenge for missing out.
Yeah!
Oh! I was wondering what you were drinking.
Melon Soda
Oh, so you wanted to drink
that cream soda with me, huh?
Come on!
Of course not!
I guess to strangers, we look like a couple, huh?
So uh... wanna just go out?
What are you talking about?
Stop joking around!
Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry for being weird!
It was just a joke.
A joke, yeah...
I guess to strangers, we look like a couple, huh?
So uh... wanna just go out?
Yeah, you're right. I'm sorry for being weird!
Ibuki!
I'm sorry!
This is going to be
really embarrassing if I misinterpreted you,
but if you really meant it about going out,
then I'm truly sorry!
It was just so out of the blue
that I didn't know what to say,
and that's why I reacted like that.
Don't be an idiot.
Did you really think I was being serious?
So you see,
you didn't have to run all the way over here
like a true idiot.
Like I would ever
mean something like that seriously...
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Oh, you're soaked!
Yeah. I got a little dumped on.
"...anything I could do to make my bother smile," huh?
I always say that I love my brother so much,
but I was never able to make him smile.
Quite the contrary,
I actually made my brother and his new wife Kuriko sad.
Why couldn't I say "congratulations" to them back then?
My brother would've probably been so happy
if I had properly congratulated them.
Wait a minute...
It might be too late now
and maybe it won't really
make my brother happy anymore,
but I'm going to call him!
I'll do what I couldn't do back then:
say "congratulations"!
Dad Mom Brother Hinata
Brother? It's me!
Oh, perfect timing.
I was just about to call you.
Hey, listen!
I have something I want to say to you
and this will probably seem out of the blue to you,
but I really really wanted to tell you, so umm... so...
Anyway... congratulations!
Wow...
How did you know?
Huh?
Kuriko's going to have a baby.
She just got the news from the hospital today,
and I was going to call and tell you,
but then you called me.
Hey, Ui.
Will you repeat what you just said to Kuriko?
Sure!
Hinata
Well, you're up early this morning!
Do you have a morning club practice.
No, but there's something I've got to do.
Oh. Well, did you eat breakfast?
I'm going.
Kazuma Hoshino...
You're a jackass!!!
You're a total idiot!
All right!
Ibuki! Ibuki!!
Ui, what's up?
You've got to hear this!
We're having a baby!
What?!
Now I'm an auntie!
Can you calm down? What are you talking about?
I mean... I mean...
my brother's going to have a baby!
I guess it's not my brother having the baby,
but his wife.
That's pretty obvious!
So you're going to be an aunt!
Yeah!
Next time on A Bridge to the Starry Skies: Final Episode
A Starry Bridge in the Night Sky
Final Episode
A Starry Bridge in the Night Sky
The next episode will already be the finale.
Thinking back, a lot has happened, huh?
It tasted like cheese,
acorns hurt more than you think.
The pink Nyanbobo,
my brother's king cobra attacked,
it wasn't embarrassing because
it was a loin cloth, not undies...
there was some suspicion about indecent homoeroticism,
but we're going out
with a bang with this:
Brotherly Love is Justice!
No matter how you twist it!
Justice!
