"Special Love Ritual"
Yes! This is a touching documentary of love and bonding!
Behold! Their bond is about to reach its climaxー
And so the thirteenth Star Child was born.
She was just born, but she's already the center of attention.
Yeah, but isn't she a little bit different from the other Star Children?
Actually, she's clearly different.
Hey, Alfie, is she...
Alfie?!
What's wrong?
Looks like she's a little tired.
She'll be fine, so keep getting to know each other.
Yeah, communication is the first step to team work!
Okay!
Unbelievable! How did you not notice Alfie was in such bad shape?!
You don't care about her anymore now that you're done with her?
It's not like that!
Sentimental journey...
Sentimenー
My king,
the child is born.
I see.
It is finally the time to reveal the truth.
Summon him here.
Yes, my lord.
I've told you so many times!
It's important to follow up after you're done!
I understand that now.
Is that right?
I'm no match for Mana-sensei, who's had hundreds of successful relationships.
Still, I'm surprised there's something similar to Christmas in this world.
Do you miss the world of Sola?
Just a little bit.
Over there!
I'll stop by the used book store!
Master Pervert Baron's first editions might be waiting to be found!
Don't stay there for too long.
I'll be close by.
I know!
What should I do?
Idol Goods Shop
Idol goods shop?
Maybe I'll find something that Alfie will like.
Why do they have so many Sola idol goods?
Not only that...
Seeking
Love
Double-Sided Folder
One-Sided Folder
Excuse me, could you recommend something
for an 80s idol present?
Idols4life
You must be an enthusiast!
I think the Sweet Class of '82 would be a good choice.
I-I see...
Thanks for coming!
Say hi to your girlfriend for me!
The employee strongly recommended it...
but I wonder if Alfie will really like it?
Itsuki!
Narcisstes?
The king has something important to tell you.
Please come with me.
Something important?
Yahoo!
I've finally found it!
A first edition of Master Pervert Baron's legendary masterpiece!
I'll show Itsuki...
Huh?
Itsuki and Narcisstes...
Where are they going?
It's starting to snow.
I want you to keep what I'm about to tell you to yourself.
All right.
As you already know,
sealing the thirteenth phantom
is the only way to reverse the chaos of the stars.
Yes, so I have to go to the thirteenth labyrinth,
and defeat the thirteenth phantom, right?
What is it?
Is there something I need to know about the thirteenth phantom?
You can't defeat the thirteenth phantom the way you did the previous Impurity Lords.
What's so different about the thirteenth phantom?!
The thirteenth phantom is...
Itsuki!
This is the first edition of Master Pervert Baron's legendary masterpiece!
Its title is "The Thirteenth Reality!" I finally got it!
Darn, it's a word off.
Anyway, where's Itsuki?
According to the ancient documents, the thirteenth phantom cannot be defeated.
Can't be defeated?
Are you saying that I can't defeat the thirteenth phantom?
However, a method of sealing the thirteenth phantom...
A certain ritual was recorded in the documents.
It is the Ritual of the Great Star Ward.
Ritual of the Great Star Ward?
Does that mean I should offer a Star Ward like before?
But where's the Star Ward of the thirteenth phantom?
Are you here?
Here?
Don't tell me he already went to find the thirteenth phantom!
Where did you go?
The only place left is... over there?
There he is!
The Great Star Ward is not just any Star Ward.
Say it two more times!
Sound natural!
The Great Star Ward refers to the Visitor with twelve emblems.
In other words, it is you.
Are you saying that, in order to seal the thirteenth phantom,
I have to be the sacrifice?
I'm... the sacrifice?
I-Is there any other way?
There...
...isn't.
What?!
Itsuki has to become the sacrifice to seal the thirteenth phantom?!
Yay! I've achieved my goal of repeating important things thirteen times!
Itsuki... is the sacrifice?
He'll be the sacrifice...
The sacrifice...
What should I do after hearing that?
What should I...
Itsuki! There you are!
Did you bring a girl over to the castle?
That castle is the king's castle!
It's not a love hotel by a highway interchange!
You're a player as usual!
Hey, Mana...
Please leave me alone for now.
Everybody...
seems so happy...
They're having so much fun...
It's so beautiful, but...
I'm the only one who can protect this world.
Itsuki...
Itsuki is going to die?
What should I do?
What exactly should I do?
Yay! Thank you, daddy!
I love you, daddy!
I love you, too.
Oh, I have to buy something for everyone.
N-No, Itsuki!
That's a death flag! Don't trigger death flags!
What a nice view!
Look over there!
This is a present for you.
Huh? Why?
Well, it's Christmas.
Also, you've helped me with so many things over the years.
Wow, I'm getting goosebumps!
Hey, it shouldn't be a surprise...
Never mind.
Huh? Is someone angry?
Am not.
Can I open it?
This is...
The one I gave you before is all worn out, so...
Yeah, that's the one.
It's all ragged.
The chain's about to break, too.
You'll lose it again.
I won't be able to help you find it anymore.
Found it!
I found it, Mahiru!
I-I like it the way it is!
I've been carrying it the whole time.
Only as a charm, of course!
Oh?
Then you don't need it?
I'll have this, too!
Thanks, Itsuki.
It's nothing.
Hey, Mahiru.
I made you a promise, right?
That we'll be together like this even when we grow up.
Yeah, but that's just a childhood promiseー
I still feel the same way.
No matter what, I'll be with you.
In your heart.
Itsuki?
Well, no matter what happens...
think of that as me.
The zombie?
I made it as a good luck charm so that you can
return to our world, even by yourself...
A talisman of sorts...
Geez, what are you saying?
We're going back together, right?
Mahiru...
Itsuki!
Yuge Itsuki!
Yes?
Let's get back to Japan together!
Huh?
But before that, for me...
For me...
Is there nothing for me?!
Alfie is...
Not here.
How are you feeling?
I feel a lot better now.
I made this for you.
I hope it'll make you feel better.
Wow! It looks tasty!
And I'm feeling so energetic!
I'm glad.
Anyway, you've increased your collection.
Yes, it's my way of escaping reality.
Escaping reality?
When I see these, I can forget about reality.
Oh, right.
These are Christmas presents for you.
Really? What did you get?
I don't know if you'll like them.

I didn't really get it,
but the guy at the idol shop strongly recommended those.
It's a really rare item, and I've wanted it for the longest time!
Thank you so much, Itsuki-san!
That's a relief.
How about another sip of the soup?
Sure!
Sorry for causing so much trouble.
No, I was wondering if your Love Ritual with me
is the reason you're not feeling well.
Huh?
And it felt like the Star Child you bore
is a bit different compared to the other Star Children.
There's just nothing for me!
Itsuki-san, everything has to do with what I'm about to tell you.
Alfie must be getting a present now, too!
What are they talking about?
I...
was born to a Visitor
who came to this world and a maiden 30 years ago.
What? Alfie is the child of a Visitor and a maiden?!
But one day, the maiden who gave birth to me was killed by an Impurity.
They feared I would be targeted too, so they let me escape...
Saying that I was a special child...
A special child?
Does that mean...
I'm a special Star Child, born with the power of the maidens.
You are?!
What? Alfie is the child of a Visitor and a maiden?!
But she's so pretty for a Star Child.
I thought Star Children would remain children...
But I no longer have the powers of a Star Child.
My immortality and strength as a warrior are both gone.
Is it because you performed a Love Ritual with me?
No! Don't worry about it.
I've lost my powers, but I used to be a Star Child.
That's why I'm prepared to do anything to defend you, a Visitor.
Even if I lose my life...
Tears aren't decorations.

So...
When I see you like that...
I feel... good.
Yeah?
My fingers don't sink while using a paper piano!
Itsuki...
What is that? What's going on?
But you've gotta do it!
You've gotta do it!
Come on, you too, Itsuki!
You've gotta do it...
You've gotta do it!
I never knew how strong Alfie's determination was...
I've... gotta do it!
Itsuki... You've finally made up your mind...
No, I can't be crying...
Even thought I didn't get anything.
He needs me more than ever!
Oh, you're back already?
Welcome back.
I've been waiting for you.
What now?
What's that look?
I've been waiting.
Here's your Christmas present.
What? Just a candy?
Y-You're treating me like I'm a child!
No,
I know that's not enough.
Let me confirm something first.
You're in the girl category, right?
What? Of course!
What are you saying after all this timeー
Mana, thank you for supporting me in so many ways.
Um...
You're not going to tell me to give birth to your child, are you?!
Yes.
Aren't I good enough... for you?
N-No, you are...
No, don't look!
I'm embarrassed!
No, you're cute, Mana.
Come now...
I'm moving your tail away.
I'm so embarrassed!
I'm also... feeling... good...
Is this...
the last time I'll see you asleep?
Itsuki?
Don't tell me he's gone!
Itsuki! Don't go on your own!
We just spent the night together!
How many times did I tell you that it's important to follow up after you're done?
Oh, it's a nice day.
Good morning, Mana.
M-Morning, I-Ikkun.
Hey, Mana, I decided to go today.
Huh? Go where?
To seal the thirteenth phantom.
I-I see.
All right, let's go!
Are You Going to Tell Me That You Want Me to Have Your Child
Give Birth to My Child!
Ba-bam!
