Dear ryotaro kobayashi. I had a similar problem long time ago.

I fixed it creating a masquerade postrouting with an spare
ethernet interface. This is my own answer to this from stackexchange:

https://superuser.com/questions/597834/bridging-wifi-to-ethernet-on-ubuntu-not-working/842166#842166

It is way outdated, but you may contact me directly if you want.
I guess this may be off topic.
