[00:00] N     I was just researching     the ancient documents, [00:02] N     and I found out that     Granvania has a labyrinth [00:05] N     other than the twelve      Labyrinths of Constellations. [00:09] Mana     Congratulations, Itsuki! [00:10] Mana     This must be a sign that     there's also a thirteenth maiden! [01:45] I     A new maiden? [01:50] Mana     I wonder where she is? [01:53] I     A new maiden? [02:01] I     Not a woman? [02:18] I     Wait a minute! Cool off! [02:20] I     Calm down! [02:21] Mana     Even if your brain's telling you to     calm down, your body isn't listening. [02:25] Mana     The more you try to cool your head,      the more your body heats up. [02:29] Mana     It's getting maddeningly hot and it     feels like you're engulfed in flames! [02:33] Mana     It's hot here, here, here,     here, here, and here! [02:37] Mana     I'm burning up! I can't take it anymore! [02:44] Mana     Burning! [02:46] Mana     Crispy margherita! [02:48] S     Oh, if it isn't Itsuki! [02:51] S     What a coincidence. [02:56] S     Ouch. [02:58] S     Better not burn myself. [03:12] Mana     Dripping sweat. [03:14] Mana     Twitching muscles. [03:16] Mana     There's no need for words. [03:18] Mana     Your instincts take over... [03:19] Mana     as wild breaths blow against you. [03:40] S     Itsuki. [03:42] S     What a coincidence. [03:44] S     I can't stop sweating. [03:52] S     See you. [04:10] S     We keep bumping into each other. [04:17] S     I'm wet. [04:19] Mana     Seiya's body wasn't the      only thing getting wet. [04:23] Mana     Itsuki was wet, too. [04:25] Mana     His heart was burning up! [04:29] Mana     Love confused Itsuki. [04:31] Mana     This is Granvania, [04:33] Mana     where the Visitor around     the corner gets wet... [04:48] I     Wait, this is a public bath for men. [04:50] I     It's normal that there's a lot of men here. [04:52] Mana     Itsuki was unsure of himself. [04:54] Mana     The smell of men all around him. [04:57] Mana     The fabulous scent caused a marvelous     feeling to well up inside him. [05:02] Mana     Rising libido! [05:06] Mana     Yes, I am now about to     open the forbidden door... [05:12] Mana     Even though I'm still hesitant... [05:14] Mana     I'll let my body take over... [05:18] Mana     The thirteenth maiden is a man?! [05:21] Mana     Maybe I can do it! [05:24] I     Enough of your weird narration! [05:33] Mana     Not so hard! [05:35] Mana     I'm starting to become dirty! [05:37] Mana     So dirty as you get cleaner! [05:38] ---     Jeez... [05:39] S     Huh? Itsuki? [05:42] S     I just happened to be here. [05:45] S     Maybe this isn't a coincidence anymore. [05:53] Mana     Not so hard! [05:54] Mana     I'm starting to become dirty! [05:56] Mana     So dirty as you get cleaner! [06:01] Mana     No, if you keep scrubbing me... [06:03] Mana     I-I-I... no! [06:05] Mana     I can't take it anymore! [06:07] Mana     That's... that's... a danger zone! [06:09] S     Maybe it's fate... right? [06:10] S     Fate? Coincidence? Supernatural?! [06:16] S     Want me to wash your back? [06:18] I     Huh? No... Next time. [06:29] Mana     Why are you staring blankly into space? [06:31] Mana     You have to find the thirteenth maiden     and perform a Love Ritual! [06:35] I     Even though I don't know who it is? [06:38] Mana     He might be closer than you think! [06:41] I     Closer than I think? [06:43] Mana     Maybe he hasn't realized his destiny yet. [06:46] I     Even if he did, there's no guarantee     that he would just show up. [06:49] Mana     No, he must know just how     important a maiden's duty is! [06:54] I     Hey, can you stop saying     "him" this and "him" that? [06:58] Mana     How come? [06:59] I     Why are you talking as if     the thirteenth maiden is a man? [07:03] Mana     What? You're still worrying about that?! [07:05] Mana     We teased about a Love Ritual between     two men at the end of the previous episode, [07:09] Mana     and that's where the story is     going so far in this episode! [07:12] I     No way! It's a maiden! [07:14] I     How can that be a man? [07:15] Mana     You're still stuck on the stereotypes. [07:18] Mana     You'll never get rid of your old fart smell! [07:21] Mana     When you've finally finished     Love Rituals with twelve maidens... [07:24] Mana     When you've finally bonded     with the twelve women... [07:28] Mana     That's when they added the plot twist     about a thirteenth labyrinth! [07:33] Mana     This means they're trying to     stimulate and shock the viewers! [07:38] I     Plot twist? [07:39] Mana     Even in sentai or bishoujo series, [07:41] Mana     you get new allies midway through the season. [07:44] Mana     It can sometimes even be an enemy     commander, or an android... [07:47] Mana     That's trending right now. [07:48] Mana     The thirteenth maiden being a man... [07:50] Mana     That's not a stretch for episode 9 material. [07:54] I     You're very well-informed. [07:55] Mana     I've heard from Narcisstes [07:58] Mana     that the thirteenth labyrinth has     been sealed all this time. [08:04] Mana     In other words, it's a forbidden door! [08:07] I     Don't twist the meaning like that! [08:09] Mana     Forbidden door! Then... SIGN    Forbidden [08:11] Mana     could it be anything other     than a Boys' Love Ritual? SIGN    Forbidden [08:15] Mana     Visually so, as well! [08:16] I     No, no, no way! [08:19] Mana     Does that mean it'll be     forbidden in some other way? [08:25] Mana     Where should we go? SIGN    Forbidden [08:27] ---     What?! [08:30] Mana     Love Ritual with optional play. [08:33] I     No! SIGN    Forbidden [08:36] Mana     Or sibling love? [08:38] Mana     Onii-chan, I don't mind. SIGN    Forbidden [08:41] Mana     Or stepmother? [08:43] Mana     Are you sure you're fine with me? [08:45] I     I don't have a little sister or a stepmother! [08:47] Mana     Are you saying we should     think outside the box? [08:51] Mana     Would you like an episode title     of "Itsuki-kun and horsey"? [08:54] I     Horsey? [08:57] Mana     Will you go to Sue's farm and find a partner? [09:01] Mana     Are you going to drive the legal team crazy? [09:03] Mana     Which one would you like? [09:05] Mana     You can pick from all the cuties here! [09:07] Mana     You beast! [09:08] Mana     Who are you going to have? [09:09] Mana     Or maybe they'll have you! [09:14] I     No, no way! [09:16] Mana     What are we going to do, then? [09:19] I     Second round. [09:20] Mana     Huh? [09:21] I     I'll go for second rounds and     make the next Star Child. [09:23] Mana     Second round? [09:24] I     I'll start with Mahiru, again... [09:26] Mana     This is the second round,     so I've gained the skills. [09:29] Mana     I'm pretty confident this time. [09:31] Mana     Huh?! [09:33] Mana     Men are so simple-minded, don't you think? [09:37] I     They're maidens, after all. [09:39] I     And... women. [09:41] Mana     But that would still be a second round.     Not the thirteenth maiden. [09:46] Mana     Reboots are important,     but we need a new one here! [09:49] I     But a man? [09:52] I     It feels like I'm betraying     Mahiru and the others... [09:56] Mana     Yeah? [09:58] Mana     What's the phrase you've     said to all of twelve of them? [10:06] (Flashback) I     Please have my child. [10:09] I     I'm despicable! [10:13] Mana     Don't cry. [10:15] Mana     Well, I guess you would     be despicable in Sola, [10:17] Mana     but in Granvania, those are the     words that will save the world. [10:23] Mana     What are you going to do? [10:26] Mana     Go for horses? [10:27] I     Not horses. [10:28] Mana     All right! [10:32] Mana     I guess this is pretty much it. [10:34] I     Way too few choices! [10:37] Mana     How can we introduce a new character now? [10:40] Mana     That would be too convenient! [10:41] Mana     It would be more visually     pleasing with a hottie. [10:44] Mana     Tasty! [10:48] I     I mean, are they even... [10:51] Mana     Huh? [10:52] I     Well, you know... [10:54] Mana     Huh? [10:56] Mana     Oh! You mean, are they fine     being with another man? [10:58] I     No! [11:00] I     Maidens have to be chaste, right? [11:03] Mana     Oh, you mean, are they virgins? [11:07] Mana     Narcisstes reads ancient documents     and researches all the time, [11:11] Mana     so he's probably only had books as partners. [11:13] N     Please, please bind me! [11:16] N     Bind me and put me on a shelf! [11:19] Mana     Seiya, as you know, is a playboy and     looks like he's good with women, [11:22] Mana     but guys like that would never want girls     to know they're actually inexperienced [11:26] Mana     and throw away opportunities     when there's a real chance. [11:29] S     No action for me. [11:32] I     No, the king can't be, right? [11:35] Mana     You'll know by whether or not he can     perform the Love Ritual when the time comes. [11:41] I     It feels like you're not trying as hard as     you did with the other twelve maidens. [11:47] Mana     That's not true. [11:51] Mana     Listen! This is all for saving Granvania! [11:55] Mana     To seal the thirteenth labyrinth! [11:58] Mana     We need a new Star Child! [12:00] Mana     There's no time for hesitation— [12:01] I     But I don't have any feelings for... [12:03] Mana     I know how you feel, but for the     peace and future of Granvania... [12:08] S     Itsuki! [12:10] S     I was shooting for a new photo book. [12:13] Both     Selfies again? [12:15] S     Yeah. [12:16] S     Anyway, it looks like you're down, Itsuki. [12:20] S     Is something bothering you? [12:21] S     I'll be happy to hear you out,      if you want. [12:27] Mana     Look, your prey has come on his own! [12:36] S     The theme of my next photo book is vampires. [12:39] I     I-I see. [12:41] S     Come on, you can tell me anything. [12:44] I     What am I supposed to say? [12:45] I     "Are you into guys?" [12:46] I     Or, "are you still a virgin?" [12:49] S     Aren't you thinking too much about others? [12:51] I     No, I can't do it with another guy. [12:54] S     I know how hard it must be for you. [12:57] S     You came to Granvania     from Sola as the Visitor. [13:01] S     You don't know anyone, [13:02] S     nobody to lean on, [13:04] S     and you have to spend your days     here alone as an outsider. [13:06] I     Actually, Mahiru is a     childhood friend of mine. [13:09] S     Not only that, you have the     duty of saving Granvania. [13:12] S     I know the loneliness and     pressure you must be feeling! [13:16] S     It's the same for me. [13:17] S     They say I'm the number one womanizer     in the nation, a playboy, [13:21] S     and I have to play my part      to live up to the girls' expectations. [13:23] S     I have to spend my days     alone making photo books. [13:25] I     You don't have friends? [13:27] S     This is not the real me! [13:32] S     I got a bit too excited. [13:35] I     Stop it. [13:36] I     Stop the sad look! [13:38] S     Itsuki, I'm the only one who     can understand your loneliness. [13:43] S     Let's warm our lonely skins together. [13:46] I     Huh? [13:47] I     Isn't this a bit different from before? [13:50] I     Compared to how it went     with the maidens before... [13:52] I     Well, all the previous maidens were girls, [13:55] I     so this time is definitely different, but... [13:58] I     Wait a minute, I'm the     one who's being seduced? [14:03] I     Uh, um... [14:05] S     Are you nervous? [14:07] I     Nervous? More like... [14:08] S     That's good. [14:10] I     Good? What is? [14:12] I     Huh? What? [14:14] S     Live together, or just die alone? [14:17] S     Let's change our angle of thinking. [14:24] S     Relax a bit more. [14:28] S     Take two. [14:37] I     No... [14:42] I     Wait a second! I need a break! [14:44] S     You could've stayed the night. [14:48] Mana     Why did you run out like that? [14:51] Mana     You were so close! [14:53] I     He was almost on top of me! [14:56] I     If I kept going, I would've     been the one to give birth! [14:59] Mana     Who cares who's the one giving birth now? [15:02] I     I care! [15:03] I     It's with another man! [15:04] Mana     Oh, well. [15:06] Mana     Let's go for the next one! [15:08] I     Next? [15:09] N     Who would've thought you     would come to see me? [15:14] Mana     I thought maybe I should learn a     bit more about the thirteenth labyrinth. [15:19] Mana     Smirk. [15:20] Mana     Don't do that. [15:21] N     That's a great attitude. [15:24] N     However, there are still many mysteries [15:27] ---     surrounding the thirteenth labyrinth,     and I'm still researching. [15:30] N     I need more time. [15:32] I     Okay, see ya. [15:34] Mana     Hey, don't just leave! [15:37] N     Itsuki. [15:38] I     Uh, yes? [15:39] N     Don't burden yourself too much. [15:42] N     The sudden responsibility of shouldering     the fate of Granvania as the Visitor... [15:48] N     That is probably something     I will never fully understand. [15:53] N     I am thankful, from bottom of my heart. [15:58] N     We need you. [16:00] I     Narcisstes... [16:02] N     I have a question for you. SIGN    History [16:04] N     Ancient hieroglyphs are hard to interpret. [16:07] ---     I'll help if I can. [16:11] I     M-My body is really stiff, [16:14] I     so I can't do it! [16:18] N     According to ancient documents, [16:20] N     human culture is difficult to understand. [16:25] Mana     Stopping right before the action again?! [16:27] Mana     Why are you teasing me? [16:29] I     Well, he's still a man. [16:32] Mana     Why does that bother you so much? [16:33] Mana     Just go for it! [16:35] I     It just feels wrong for me. [16:39] I     I can't abandon my values so easily. [16:41] Mana     You can easily abandon     and change your values. [16:45] I     Well, your values must have     been messed up from the start. [16:49] Mana     I used to be an Impurity. [16:52] I     You were an Impurity? [16:54] Mana     A magician in this nation brought me      out of a labyrinth a hundred years ago. [16:59] I     How did they just allow an     Impurity to roam around free? [17:02] Mana     They didn't. [17:04] Mana     I've been told that the magician was trying     to give consciousness to Impurities, [17:07] Mana     and tried to find a way to coexist. [17:11] Mana     But the magician died before     he could complete his work. [17:16] Mana     Leaving me behind... [17:17] Mana     I was an Impurity who was left behind, [17:20] Mana     and I was all alone. [17:22] Mana     I was very confused,     and didn't know what to do. [17:25] Mana     Not only that, the government     found out about my existence, [17:29] ---     and tried to cleanse me. [17:31] I     Cleanse you, Mana? [17:33] Mana     Because Impurities shouldn't exist. [17:36] Mana     But surprisingly, that Visitor     didn't kill me, and protected me. [17:42] Mana     I have been serving this nation ever since. [17:46] I     That Visitor... [17:48] Mana     ...is Shangri-La! [17:50] I     What? The king?! [17:51] Mana     Details on our website! SIGN    "Check the official website for details!" [17:53] I     Hey! [17:54] Mana     Got it? [17:55] Mana     You can change yourself very easily. [18:00] Mana     It's not that bad for you. [18:02] Mana     As a Visitor, you're welcomed by everyone. [18:05] Mana     But as a former Impurity, [18:07] Mana     I shouldn't even be allowed to exist here. [18:11] Mana     Sometimes I hate myself... My tainted body... [18:15] Mana     Itsuki? [18:16] I     Don't blame it on yourself like that. [18:20] Mana     Itsuki... [18:23] I     It must be hard for you. [18:28] Mana     You sexual beast! [18:31] I     I think I've just broken a barrier. [18:35] I     Mana, I think I can do it. [18:38] Mana     The more you resist, the more you want it. [18:42] Mana     Please be gentle. [18:47] Mana     Hey, Itsuki! [18:49] Mana     You've shamed me! [18:52] I     If I can do Mana... [18:53] I     If I can do Mana, I... [18:57] N     Itsuki? [18:58] I     I can also do men! [19:01] ---     ...men! ...men! ...men! ...men! [19:04] N     Also? Also men? [19:06] I     Men and women... I want to break     that barrier and get past it! [19:10] I     I want to save Granvania! [19:12] Mana     Well said, Itsuki! [19:16] Mana     I've prepared a room for the two of you! [19:19] N     Huh? [19:20] Mana     I called Seiya, too. [19:22] Mana     Come, come, come! [19:24] N     I understand the situation. [19:26] S     The thirteenth maiden is a man, huh? [19:30] I     You will have my child? [19:33] S     Hold on, Itsuki. [19:34] I     What? Wait for what? [19:37] I     I will no longer wait for anything! [19:39] S     Who would you pick? [19:41] N     Yes. Who would you pick as the thirteenth maiden? [19:47] I     Both of you. [19:48] Both     Huh? [19:49] I     I don't care about men or women,     or the thirteenth or whatever. [19:53] I     You're both the important thirteenth maiden. [19:56] I     I want the three of us to save Granvania! [19:59] ---     Unless you don't want to. [20:01] S     That's not fair, Itsuki. [20:03] N     Sheesh, we can't complain     when you say it so sincerely. [20:09] S     But that sincerity... [20:11] N     is what's good about you. [20:12] I     So you will have my child? [20:16] N     Will we be able to? [20:18] I     Don't worry, just do it. [20:21] N     Let's do it. [20:23] S     Let us do it. [20:25] I     Open, forbidden door! [20:31] Mana     Wonderful! [20:39] Mana     That was a sight to behold. [20:42] Mana     So very interesting! [20:43] I     Mana, neither of them was the one? [20:45] Mana     Of course not! [20:48] Mana     How can there be a Love Ritual     between men? [20:52] I     Are you telling me you were playing me?! [20:55] Mana     That's not it, Itsuki! [20:57] Mana     You have now leveled up! [21:00] I     Leveled up? [21:01] Mana     For you humans, the more     open-minded, the better. [21:05] I     Open-minded? [21:07] N     I knew about this from the start. [21:09] I     You did? [21:11] Mana     Now, you can love the thirteenth     maiden with fresh feelings. [21:15] I     Fresh feelings... [21:16] Mana     I mean, you can even do men! [21:20] S     You seem stronger than yesterday. [21:23] N     We're counting on you for     the future of Granvania. [21:25] I     It's not fair that you've known all along. [21:29] S     I was serious, though. [21:43] I     Not just with women [21:44] I     or with men. [21:46] I     It's about having feelings for each other [21:48] I     that will become an irreplaceable bond. [21:51] I     Whether you prefer women [21:53] I     or men, [21:54] I     I'm sure that you, too, [21:56] I     are a Visitor for someone out there.
