It wasn't the men.
Then who is the thirteenth maiden?
She must be someone close to me, who always assists me from behind the scenes.
Mana?!
No, someone that lewd couldn't possibly be a maiden.
Wait... Maybe the lewdness makes her a special maiden?
Say what?!
But Mana's so fat.
Even I can't go for that.
Y-You're so mean... You've broken my heart!
You'll pay for this, Itsuki!
But I'll definitely find her!
After all, there's always only one truth!
I'll make my grandpa proud!
You've got so many things wrong.
I don't even feel like correcting you.
In any case, you have to clear the twelfth labyrinth first!
Right...
She got me!
Uh, when this happens...
T-Treat his wound!
You fool!
That's not it!
When this happens...
You rookies! Don't make me repeat myself!
You have to play your role!
Leave the recovery of the Visitor to us in the rear,
and the rest of you on the front line
should block the second and third attacks.
We have to protect the Visitor using teamwork!
Isn't that right, Alfie?
Y-Yes.
All right, let's try this again!
They're like mini-Alfies.
They're nothing like me!
All right, that's it for today's training.
Geez, Itsuki-san, please don't go easy on them.
If they are weak, your life will be in danger.
No, I want them to rest and preserve their energy.
We'll go defeat the twelfth Impurity Lord tomorrow.
Is everyone asleep?
Yes, they're sound asleep.
I'm praying for your safety.
Right.
All right, A Team will be a diversion.
Slip past the Impurity and get behind it.
B Team, attack from the right, and C Team, attack from the left.
I'll go for the finishing blow.
Okay!
This is the Sagittarius Impurity Lord, Tentatores!
It uses many fire-based attacks!
Watch out for its spear strikes!
Okay, let's do it!
All right! Get around it and attack!
C Team, follow me!
Ow...
Sagittarius!
Run!
Are you all right?
Visitor-sama, don't mind me—
We'll all go back together!
I'm not leaving anyone behind!
Over here!
You're fine now.
Thanks.
I'm so relieved!
There's no time to cry.
It's going to be okay. Remember your training.
Okay!
This is the end!
It's over.
Itsuki, that was an impressive fight.
This is the end of a long battle.
Huh? This is strange.
What's going on?
Nothing is happening.
What exactly is going on?
Wh-What's this light?!
We can't return yet, as I thought.
Why? Why did nothing happen?
Unfortunately, it seems we were unable
to prevent the revival of the thirteenth phantom.
Then, you mean...
Yes, but fortunately the entrance is still sealed.
Itsuki, you must find the thirteenth maiden as soon as possible
and prepare for the final battle.
Yes, sir!
Let's go, Mana.
Yeah.
Mirei-chan, what brings you here?
The thirteenth labyrinth appeared earlier.
That's why I was worried about you...
Sorry, I'm in a rush.
I have to prepare to see Itsuki-san.
The day to use this has finally come.
Maiden's Charm My Birthday
A special magic book I obtained from Sola.
I'm sure Itsuki-san will finally realize I'm the thirteenth maiden.
Tie this to a bow knot, and...
*Effect may vary by user.
Now's the chance!
If no one notices it for three days...
What the heck is this?
There's some trash on your back.
What is this?!
How creepy. Could it be some kind of curse?
Stay away!
Who could've done something like that?
This one next!
Itsuki Loves Alfie
If I can finish using this eraser without anyone touching it,
*This is merely a personal opinion.
I'm sure Itsuki-san will...
Good! I should be able to finish this right away!
Alfie! A delivery for you!
Here, please give me your stamp or signature!
I don't have my stamp here, so I'll sign.
Right over there, please.
You're using a pencil! Please use a pen!
Oh, sorry.
Let's see... here it is—
I have no choice, it's time for that one!
Itsuki LOVE
Write down the name of the person I like...
rip it in half...
roll it up...
and swallow!
I can't... do this...
I have to tell him in person.
I'm looking for the thirteenth maiden!
It's a once a lifetime opportunity to be the thirteenth maiden!
Did this emblem appear on an innocent virgin out there?
Come out now and engage in
a sweaty and sensual Love Ritual with this Visitor!
Don't worry, I have already researched all the sensitive spots
that would make Itsuki happy!
Itsuki-san!
I thought I just heard Alfie's voice...
You must have imagined it.
Let's hurry.
Is the thirteenth maiden out there?
We're looking for the girl who has this emblem!
The thirteenth maiden will be the first in hundreds of years!
So, if you come out now,
I'll give you my handmade see-through pink negligee as a present!
You can almost see the important parts, but not quite!
It's super-duper sexy!
Of course, it's a limited edition that's not for sale!
Itsuki-san, um...
What is it?
I was just impressed with how popular Seiya is.
Maybe I had the wrong idea about him.
Well, I guess so.
Is the thirteenth maiden out there?
We're looking for a beautiful young girl who has this emblem!
What was that? What did you just say now?
The Visitor is having impure thoughts!
That's why she won't show up!
Itsuki-san! I'm the thirteenth...
This place is too noisy.
Let's go somewhere else.
Yeah.
P-Please... Wait...
No! I failed again!
I need a strong charm—
What the hell are you doing?!
We were waiting forever, and you didn't show up,
so I came to check on you.
I never thought you'd be using some useless good luck charm!
Start acting like a real maiden, and let yourself be known!
How did you know that I'm a maiden?
Some people said there was a girl who was screaming she was the thirteenth maiden,
and the girl they described couldn't have been anyone but you!
Come on, let's go see Itsuki now.
No!
What are you doing?
No.
Why not?
Encounters have to be sudden... or trendy!
Dear Alfie
from Otabito's Diary
My father left me this.
A videotape?
He said I have to show it to the Visitor,
if I am to become a maiden.
Do I have to show that to Itsuki?
Uh, um...
It was her, after all!
Well, I knew it from the start.
Liar.
It was obvious that the thirteenth maiden couldn't be anyone but Alfie!
I've kept quiet all this time, but take a look at the OP!
Here.
Oh, you're right!
Everyone else knew too, right?
Only you didn't.
Who's "everybody"?
Don't worry about it.
Anyway, she gave me this.
Apparently, you can get the hint for deepening your bond if you watch this.
Even if the earth starts spinning the other way around, we won't be separated!
Of course!
You would chase me to the end of the universe, even if I ran away!
I will never forgive you!
Let go of me.
Wh-What is this?
It's so wonderful!
I want to be in a cool, trendy, lovey-dovey show like this!
I want to watch more of it!
Sorry, I can't...
You fool!
You can't see how good this drama series is?
You're so lame!
How can you expect to catch my heart—
Catch Alfie's heart like that?
Alfie wants a trendy romance,
so shut your trap, and make it trendy!
Trendy is the best!
What a beautiful sunset.
Yeah.
An Italian dinner next, and the present will be a heart-shaped necklace.
Alfie is practically already seduced!
I'm a genius for coming up with this plan.
That was delicious!
I'm glad.
Sorry, Mana, but please return to the foster home.
Huh? What about the present?
Are you sure about this?
Yeah, thanks.
Don't blame me if you fail!
Wow, what a collection!
P-Please don't stare like that.
Sorry for barging in.
I'm sure you would've preferred a trendy date.
It's all right! It's fine!
That was enough.
I realized that I didn't want to be part of a made-up drama show.
I wanted to know more about the real you.
Your bond won't deepen one bit from lame conversation like that!
Alfie said she wanted a trendy date!
An at-home date is the polar opposite of bubble-era dates!
It's boring! Boring as hell!
But why do you like idols from Sola?
The ones from many years ago, too.
Actually, my parents...
They're from this world though, right?
Anyway, what are your parents like?
They must both be really worried with you disappearing.
You haven't heard from Mana about them?
No, I haven't.
Actually, they passed away in an accident.
I... um...
I'm sorry, Itsuki-san.
It's all right.
I'm already over it, so don't feel bad.
But...
It's fine.
All right, then...
...that pretty much sums it up.
I was going to listen to your stories, but I ended up talking the whole time.
Uh, um...
What kind of books do you usually read?
Well, I guess about entertainment, martial arts, and...
This one's a secret.
Tsk! Itsuki would've seen the deceitful woman she is,
for using some Sola magic to capture his heart!
Huh? Whose side am I on?
Huh? What's this?
That's...

Visitor-sama
Incredible.
Thank you, Alfie.
To be honest, I was worried if I would ever be able to return home alive.
But you were protecting me this whole time.
No, we're the ones being protected.
This must be why I never felt alone
when I was in the labyrinth.
I'm the one who's looking after you 24 hours a day!
You can't even go on a single date without me!
Alfie...
Yes?
Please, don't look at me like that...
You're making me nervous.
Why?
Well...
I want to look at you more.
I prepared something because I wanted to deepen our bond.
Although... I'm not sure if you'll like it.
It's so wonderful!
I feel bad for saying this to your father,
but I think the pure idol image suits you better
than a trendy idol from the past.
This is the happiest moment of my life.
You would chase me to the end of the universe, even if I ran away!
That's a bit scary.
I didn't know that dress was a present!
I thought Itsuki was going to use it himself for an alternative hobby,
and that's why I burned the midnight oil to place every stitch with care!
And you two spinning around in front of me like that...
I should be the Cinderella dancing around in there!
Alfie, I want you to have my child,
and raise her to become strong.
Yes, please leave it to me.
What's wrong, Alfie?
My stomach...
I... may not be able to make it...
Alfie?
Get yourself together!
Alfie? Alfie?!
Don't worry.
It wasd just some loose bowels.
It seems she swallowed some paper.
I wonder if her brain is also made of muscle.
They say love is blind, and I guess
that can even make you believe in foolish charms.
How careless of a girl like me to forget...
but I guess I'll wait a bit longer before I give this to her.
Stomach Pain Medicine
Wh-What do you think?
It looks really good on you.
You're making me blush!
But...
I only want you to wear it for me.
I don't want anyone else to see it.
Alfie, please have my child.
Yes.
My Children, Thirteen of Them!?
Are You Going to Tell Me That You Want Me to Have Your Child
Ikkun.
