[00:06] Mana
    The popular dating reality show,
[00:09] Mana
    The Bachelor, has finally arrived in Granvania.
[00:13] Mana
    The one selected to be the bachelor is...
[00:16] Mana
    Yuge Itsuki.
[00:18] Mana
    Our chosen Visitor from Sola, Yuge Itsuki.
[00:23] Mana
    The twelve female participants
    are all very different.
[00:26] Mana
    Who will be the one to win his heart?
[00:29] Mana
    The twelve maidens have gathered
    from all around the world.
[00:33] Mana
    A wide range of ages and backgrounds.
[00:35] Mana
    The only thing they have in common is
    that they're after the bachelor's heart.
[00:40] Mana
    These twelve beauties will try
    to win over bachelor Itsuki!
[00:44] Mana
    The twelve maidens looking
    for the Ultimate Love Ritual
[00:47] Mana
    will engage in intense romantic battles!
[00:50] Mana
    There will be plots, jealousy, alliances,
[00:53] ---
    betrayals, and frustration
    between the maidens.
[00:56] Mana
    The one who will decide the
    winner is... the bachelor!
[01:00] Mana
    What is the Ultimate Love Ritual
     that awaits the winner?
[02:34] Mana
    I am the Visitor's servant, Mana.
[02:37] Mana
    As you all know, the duty of maidens
    is to give birth to Star Children.
[02:40] Mana
    However, it seems that some of you
    have yet to fulfill your duty.
[02:44] Mana
    Mirei, Sue. I'm talking about you two.
[02:47] Mana
    Therefore, I have prepared the
     Ultimate Love Ritual this time.
[02:52] Mirei
    Ultimate...
[02:53] F
    Love Ritual?
[02:55] M
    What is that?
[02:57] Mana
    Tsk, tsk, I can't tell you yet.
[02:59] Mana
    You'll find out when you experience it.
[03:01] Mana
    It is a truly sacred paradise that
    will send you to the heavens!
[03:05] Mana
    However, only one maiden who captures
    Visitor Itsuki's heart will get to enjoy it.
[03:11] Mana
    A passionate date battle will now
    begin to determine the winner!
[03:15] Mana
    A letter from Visitor Itsuki
    has arrived. Read it out loud.
[03:19] M
    "Let's have the best date
    and strengthen our bond."
[03:23] M
    "The one who will date me today is..."
[03:25] M
    "Sue!"
[03:28] Mana
    She's gone!
[03:34] S
    Shh, they'll find you.
[03:36] Mana
    Sheesh, I thought I told you that
    you can't bring animals here.
[03:40] S
    I'm sorry. He's Quelquelle.
[03:43] S
    He gets lonely very easily—
[03:46] Mana
    You sensed that I was releasing a lot of
    pheromones earlier, so you're all turned on?
[03:49] Mana
    You pervert rooster!
[03:50] Mana
    Your comb is red and swollen!
[03:53] S
    He's just excited because
    a stranger came over.
[03:56] S
    It's all right, Quelquelle.
[03:59] S
    Good boy.
[04:01] Mana
    Come on. We have to hurry.
[04:03] Mana
    Itsuki is looking forward to your date.
[04:06] S
    Okay.
[04:12] S
    Hello.
[04:14] I
    I wanted to learn more about you today, Sue.
[04:22] I
    I thought we could have a date
    together with the animals.
[04:32] I
    You take care of all
    these animals, right, Sue?
[04:36] S
    Yes.
[04:37] S
    I brought them to the academy from home.
[04:40] S
    They're all my precious friends.
[04:43] I
    They're cute.
[04:46] S
    Yes, they are.
[04:48] S
    They're pretty noisy, so not many people
    have anything nice to say about them.
[04:54] S
    I'm glad you did. Thank you.
[04:57] I
    I've prepared a feast for the animals, too.
[05:08] Mana
    My fruit basket!
[05:10] Mana
    Eat up! Eat!
[05:16] Mana
    No, not there!
[05:17] S
    They used to study animals outside the town.
[05:23] S
    My parents studied animals.
[05:26] S
    Dad was a researcher
    and Mom was a veterinarian.
[05:30] S
    They always embraced me gently.
[05:34] S
    But they...
[05:37] I
    You don't have to force yourself to tell me.
[05:41] S
    It's all right.
[05:42] S
    I want you to know.
[05:46] S
    On that day, Dad and Mom were attacked by
    Impurities that came close to the town.
[05:51] S
    They protected me and hugged me
    until the Impurities went away.
[05:56] S
    That was the last time they embraced me.
[06:00] S
    But the truth is...
[06:04] S
    My heart is still in pain.
[06:07] S
    I can't accept that my parents are gone.
[06:09] S
    I can't accept what happened on that day!
[06:13] S
    But I had these animals with me,
[06:16] S
    so I was able to live on even though I was sad.
[06:19] I
    I never knew...
[06:27] I
    We were able to talk about a lot of things,
[06:31] ---
    and I feel our bond was strengthened.
[06:34] I
    I can't forgive the Impurities
    that attacked Sue's parents.
[06:37] I
    My sense of duty as the Visitor...
[06:40] I
    I feel a strong emotion growing inside me.
[06:56] M
    I'm bored.
[06:57] R
    I wonder what kind of
    date they're having now.
[07:02] R
    Anyway, Mahiru...
[07:03] R
    How was your first Love Ritual?
[07:06] M
    W-Well...
[07:08] R
    It was a piece of cake for me.
[07:11] M
    Really?
[07:12] R
    What about you, Mahiru?
[07:15] M
    I... don't really remember.
[07:18] M
    It was too embarrassing.
[07:22] M
    Geez! Stop trying to ask me!
[07:25] M
    Yes, I understand that Itsuki is working hard
[07:29] ---
    to get us back to our world.
[07:32] M
    The Love Ritual is an important
    ritual to make that happen.
[07:36] M
    The other maidens are all good girls,
[07:38] M
    so I wish the best for them.
[07:43] I
    Thanks for the fun date today.
[07:46] S
    No, I should be thanking you.
[07:49] I
    Welcome!
[07:51] I
    Let me show you how I feel!
[07:53] I
    Sushi rice at the bottom,
[07:55] I
    plenty of love,
[07:57] I
    and shiny fish on top!
[08:01] I
    Complete!
[08:03] M
    Bateira!
[08:05] M
    It means "small boat" in Portuguese!
[08:08] M
    My heart sways with love for you.
[08:11] M
    Please accept my feelings.
[08:26] S
    Thank you.
[08:32] Seiya
    This is a surprise.
[08:34] Seiya
    Who would've thought the fated bateira sushi
    would be offered to Sue so soon.
[08:37] Seiya
    What a turn of events.
[08:39] Alfie
    Yes.
[08:40] Alfie
    By the way, what's fated bateira sushi?
[08:44] Seiya
    What?
[08:44] Seiya
    Huh? You didn't know?
[08:47] Seiya
    Well, I did expect that,
    so please take a look at this.
SIGN    Out
SIGN    Winner!
[08:50] Seiya
    The Visitor can make bateira
    sushi for someone he likes.
[08:54] Seiya
    Only maidens who receive it
    can remain in the competition.
[08:59] Alfie
    Oh, now I get it!
[09:01] Seiya
    Okay then, let's speak with
    Mana-san at the scene.
[09:04] Seiya
    Mana-san?
[09:05] Mana
    Hello!
[09:06] Seiya
    What do you think about the
    bateira sushi right off the bat?
[09:09] Mana
    Not enough stimulation, at all!
[09:12] Seiya
    What do you mean by stimulation?
[09:13] Mana
    The real battle has only begun!
[09:15] Mana
    I'll set up a dirty date
    filled with perversion
[09:18] ---
    for all of you to enjoy in front of your TV!
SIGN    Granvania TV Station
[09:24] Mana
    A new invitation letter has
    arrived from the Visitor.
[09:28] Mana
    This time there will be a group date.
[09:31] Mana
    The participants are:
[09:32] Mana
    Lily.
[09:33] Mana
    Arie.
[09:34] Mana
    Falun.
[09:36] Mana
    Femiruna.
[09:37] Mana
    Reone.
[09:38] Mana
    Mirei.
[09:40] Mirei
    The Visitor is a mysterious existence
    from an alternate world called Sola.
[09:44] Mirei
    There isn't any subject that is
    more interesting for research.
[09:47] Mirei
    I will find out everything
    about the Visitor, Itsuki.
[09:51] Mirei
    Research is the sole reason I came here.
[09:54] Mana
    Welcome, everyone!
[09:56] Mana
    Itsuki is in the room at
    the end of these stairs!
[10:00] Mana
    Only the one who reaches the top first
    can advance to the private date!
[10:04] Mana
    And this is a present from me!
[10:06] Mana
    Enjoy!
[10:10] Mana
    Lotions!
[10:12] Mana
    Moisten your skin with sticky ingredients!
[10:16] Mana
    Soft and smooth skin for you all!
[10:23] Mana
    Now climb!
[10:29] Mana
    What's wrong? Climb up!
[10:33] R
    I can't hold it any longer...
[10:35] F
    N-No way!
[10:36] Falun
    Hold on to it!
[10:50] Arie
    Lord, give me strength!
[10:57] Mana
    The one who calmly climbed up is...
[11:01] Mana
    Mirei!
[11:05] I
    Mirei, you came over?
[11:08] I
    Thank you.
[11:09] Mirei
    You don't have to thank me.
[11:11] I
    If you like, you should take a bath
    and clean your body.
[11:15] Mirei
    Yes, I will.
[11:19] Mirei
    I can't see well without my glasses.
[11:23] Mirei
    Looks like my vision got worse again.
[11:25] I
    Then give me your hand.
[11:28] I
    Are you all right?
[11:29] I
    Take your time.
[11:31] Mirei
    You're very helpful.
[11:33] I
    What is it?
[11:35] Mirei
    I just thought it's interesting to occasionally
[11:37] ---
    leave myself in someone else's hands.
[11:42] Mirei
    What a nice rose scent.
[11:44] I
    M-Mirei, aren't we a bit too close?
[11:47] Mirei
    Oh, sorry.
[11:49] Mirei
    But since my sight is poor,
[11:52] Mirei
    I'm more sensitive to your touch.
[11:55] Mirei
    Your body temperature
    and the texture of your skin...
[11:57] Mirei
    The warmth of your body...
[11:59] Mirei
    Yes, this is quite intriguing.
[12:01] Mirei
    It's a feeling I have never
    experienced before.
[12:04] I
    Mirei, where are you touching?
[12:07] Mirei
    It's all right. Hold it for a while.
[12:11] Mirei
    What's this?
[12:12] Mirei
    I can't see very well, but it's very hard.
[12:14] I
    Th-That's...
[12:17] Mirei
    What's wrong?
[12:19] I
    Stop!
[12:20] I
    You're taking advantage...
    of the situation...
[12:23] Mirei
    Oh, this is the reaction?
[12:26] Mirei
    I see. I'll need to collect more data.
[12:30] Mirei
    It's all for research.
[12:32] Mirei
    Since my vision is blurry...
[12:36] Mirei
    it makes me want to touch you more...
[12:38] Mirei
    and depend on you more...
[12:41] Mirei
    That's how I feel.
[12:43] I
    I've only seen the cool and calm side of her,
[12:48] I
    so my heart skipped a beat when
    I saw her being so different.
[12:53] I
    Where she touched me under the bubbles?
[12:56] I
    Please leave that to your imagination.
[13:06] I
    Mirei.
[13:08] I
    Please have this, too!
[13:10] Mirei
    Thank you.
[13:13] Mirei
    You've decided to keep me...
[13:15] Mirei
    You've got guts.
[13:25] Mirei
    I'll have you stay with
    me longer for my research.
[13:29] Mirei
    Well, I won't do anything
    scary for the research.
[13:33] Mirei
    Don't worry.
[13:36] Mana
    And so, Itsuki and the maidens had
    one gorgeous date after another,
[13:41] Mana
    and the ones who remained to the end were...
[13:45] Mana
    Mirei and Sue.
[13:47] Mana
    It's down to these two maidens.
[13:49] Mana
    Who will he choose?
[13:51] Mana
    Let's take some time and see how
    Itsuki will make his approach!
[14:00] S
    Meow!
[14:13] S
    Meow.
[14:15] S
    This animal gets pretty lonely,
[14:20] S
    so you have to play with her.
[14:22] S
    Will you take good care of her?
[14:25] I
    Yes, of course.
[14:27] S
    I love animals, so I've always wanted a tail.
[14:30] S
    I mustered up my courage to put it on today.
[14:32] I
    It looks good on you.
[14:36] S
    I get a steamy feeling in
    my heart when I'm with you.
[14:41] I
    Steamy?
[14:43] S
    Warm and comfortable.
[14:46] S
    The same feeling as when I was
    embraced by Mom and Dad.
[14:50] S
    But I'm starting to get scared.
[14:53] I
    Scared of what?
[14:55] S
    I've lived alone for all this time.
[14:57] S
    If I let you spoil me, I'll get weak...
[15:01] S
    I might not survive without you.
[15:04] I
    There's nothing wrong with being weak.
[15:07] S
    But...
[15:08] I
    Sue, you've been all alone
    since your parents left.
[15:13] I
    There's nothing wrong with
    getting spoiled a bit.
[15:16] S
    What if you leave me, like Mom and Dad?
[15:22] S
    I'm scared.
[15:23] S
    I'm scared that you might leave.
[15:25] I
    Sue...
[15:26] S
    I don't want you to go to the labyrinth,
[15:28] S
    I don't want you to be in danger.
[15:30] S
    I don't want to lose you!
[15:33] S
    I'm scared...
[15:35] I
    Don't worry.
[15:36] I
    Living in this world made me want to
    save this world where everybody lives.
[15:41] I
    I really feel this way.
[15:43] I
    To make that happen, I want to give birth to
[15:47] ---
    a stronger Star Child than ever
    with the Ultimate Love Ritual.
[15:51] S
    Okay.
[15:53] I
    I promise to defeat the
    Impurities and come back to you.
[15:58] Mana
    We've heard your entire conversation!
[16:02] I
    Huh?
[16:03] Mana
    Finding out Sue's story made me think...
[16:05] Mana
    and I've reached a conclusion!
[16:08] I
    A conclusion?
[16:09] Mana
    Sue and Mirei were competing
    to be selected by you,
[16:13] Mana
    but the Ultimate Love Ritual doesn't
    really have to be one on one!
[16:17] I
    By that, you mean...
[16:19] Mana
    Yes, a Double Love Ritual!
[16:22] Mirei
    I also want to respect Sue's
    feelings as a fellow maiden.
[16:26] Mirei
    I agree to having the
    Ultimate Love Ritual together.
[16:30] Mirei
    I'll be able to gather even
    more interesting data!
[16:33] S
    T-Two at the same time?
[16:36] S
    I c-can't do something so embarrassing...
[16:41] I
    Mana, I'm sorry,
[16:43] I
    but I can't force Sue to do
    it if she doesn't want to.
[16:47] Mirei
    I was expecting you to say that.
[16:50] Mirei
    Don't worry. I'm a researcher.
[16:54] Mirei
    I am prepared for an event like this.
[16:57] Mirei
    I wanted to test it for a while...
[16:59] Mirei
    This experimental medicine that
    will improve Love Rituals!
[17:04] I
    W-Wait! What is that?
[17:07] I
    Mirei... Mirei!
[17:08] I
    Stay away! No—
[17:10] Mirei
    It's the hypnosis gas I developed!
[17:13] Mirei
    Now Sue won't feel embarrassed,
[17:15] Mirei
    and will be honest about her feelings!
[17:18] I
    Are you all right, Sue?
[17:21] I
    Sue?
[17:24] S
    Meow!
[17:27] Mana
    As an added bonus, I also added
    a sensitivity-increasing gas!
[17:33] Mana
    To perform the Ultimate Love Ritual,
[17:35] Mana
    added sensitivity will
    increase your feelings, too!
[17:38] Mana
    Here, here, here...
[17:41] ---
    Here, here, here...
[17:47] Mana
    This kitty has a very cute cry.
[17:51] Mana
    It should start working on you,
    since you're breathing it, too!
[17:59] Mirei
    Oh no, I can't hold it any longer!
[18:01] Mana
    I can't stand it!
[18:03] Mana
    Nothing beats seeing a serious girl
     lose control to her desires!
[18:07] Mana
    Come on! The maidens are fully prepared!
[18:10] Mana
    All that's left is to do what
    you're meant to do as the Visitor!
[18:14] I
    Yeah!
[18:15] I
    Please! Have my child!
[18:18] Both
    Okay!
[18:24] Mana
    Wait, relax, you guys!
[18:26] Mana
    Calm down!
[18:28] Mana
    Stop, no food now!
[18:30] Mana
    Oh no, my body is sensitive from that gas!
[18:34] Mana
    Stop! Don't look at me like beasts!
[18:38] Mana
    Not there... What's this? Don't stop!
[18:41] Mana
    No! I'm gonna get wild!
[18:44] Mana
    More, more, more, come on!
[18:48] Mana
    And so, the bond between
    the three strengthened,
[18:51] Mana
    and two strong Star Children were born!
[18:55] Alfie
    Itsuki-san, I watched The Bachelor!
[18:58] Alfie
    I was so surprised at the conclusion!
[19:02] I
    I'm kinda embarrassed.
[19:04] Alfie
    But I'm glad strong Star Children
     were born in the end.
[19:08] I
    Yeah.
[19:09] I
    The offering of the Star Wards
    is going smoothly, too.
[19:13] I
    At this rate, it won't be long before we can
[19:15] ---
    seal all 12 Labyrinths of Constellations.
[19:18] Alfie
    That's amazing.
[19:19] Alfie
    I expected nothing less of you.
[19:21] Alfie
    But after you fulfill
    your duty as the Visitor,
[19:24] Alfie
    you'll be going back to Sola, right?
[19:27] Alfie
    Soon I won't be able to see you anymore?
[19:33] Alfie
    N-No, that was nothing.
[19:35] Alfie
    Please don't mind me.
[19:40] Alfie
    That roar again!
[19:41] Mana
    Itsuki, you have to come
    to the castle right away!
[19:46] Sh
    It seems you have all gathered here.
[19:48] Sh
    Please, begin.
[19:50] N
    Actually, I was researching
    the ancient documents,
[19:53] N
    and I found out that
    Granvania has a labyrinth
[19:55] ---
    other than the 12 Labyrinths
    of Constellations.
[19:59] I
    What did you say?!
[20:00] N
    This ancient document describes the
    existence of a 13th labyrinth.
[20:05] N
    And in there,
[20:06] ---
    according to the writings,
    the 13th phantom is sealed.
[20:11] I
    By 13th phantom, does it mean something
    different to the Impurity Lords?
[20:15] Mana
    It seems like the 13th phantom
[20:18] ---
    is the source of Impurities in this world.
[20:21] Mana
    In other words, the Impurities will be
    revived again unless we seal it.
[20:26] I
    How can that be?
[20:27] N
    However, we still haven't found the
    entrance to the 13th labyrinth,
[20:31] N
    or figured out how we can prevent the revival.
[20:33] N
    I want you to offer
[20:35] ---
    all the remaining Star Wards
    of the 12 constellations
[20:39] N
    while we find the answers.
[20:40] I
    I understand.

    That will be the next duty of the Visitor.

    It will be an even tougher
    battle than before, Itsuki.
[20:51] ---
    Yes...
[20:53] Mana
    Hmm...
[20:55] I
    What is it, Mana?
[20:56] Mana
    There were 12 labyrinths and 12 maidens.
[20:59] Mana
    And now, the existence of the 13th
    labyrinth has come to light, which means...
[21:04] Mana
    Congratulations, Itsuki!
[21:06] Mana
    This must be a sign that
    there's also a 13th maiden!
[21:10] Mana
    As soon as you finish the Love
    Ritual with the 12 maidens,
[21:12] Mana
    you'll have a new girl
    you can have fun conquering!
[21:17] Mana
    Nose bleed!
[21:18] I
    Yeah, yeah.
[21:20] Mana
    But I wonder where she is.
[21:23] Mana
    Could it be me, by any chance?
[21:25] I
    I can learn to like beasts.
[21:26] Mana
    Sheesh, you sure are a real pervert.
[21:29] Mana
    I have someone else in mind, too!
[21:32] Mana
    Who says a maiden has to be a girl?
[21:38] I
    Maybe.
[21:40] Mana
    Wow! Maybe the next episode
    will be Boys' Love Ritual?!
[21:45] Mana
    No! But I don't hate it!
[21:48] Mana
    Female viewership will improve for sure!
[21:51] Mana
    Huh?
