marcusp:

I guess she is saying “don’t cross the bridge!”

Close, but it’s sort of the opposite.

It is the conditional と, but used as ないと(いけない)

She’s saying, “I have to cross the bridge!” or literally, “It is not good if I don’t cross the bridge!” or “I must not NOT cross the bridge!” Supposedly to give 風香 the milk.
