Conception (CONCEPTION)

The Love Ritual is a holy ritual performed to give birth to a Star Child.

In order to aid the Visitor, the maidens of the 12 constellations

aid the creation of Star Children...

It's done!

Mahiru...

Itsuki...

He's born!

Congratulations.

He's born?

But I...

I haven't...

What?

The Love Ritual is not a sexual act.

Bonding with the maidens through physical contact

gives birth to the Star Child, as emotional feelings are heightened.

I don't know what Mana told you,

but it is a holy ritual.

Please remember that.

Darn.

Here, this is a Star Child.

Nice to meet you, Visitor-sama.

I'm Virgo, and I represent the constellation of the Maiden!

Virgo, huh?

Please grow into a powerful warrior and aid Itsuki.

I will!

He's so cute!

He's our...

Thank you, Mahiru.

G-Good morning.

Good morning.

Yesterday was... uh...

Y-Yeah...

Impressive! I'm starting to smell the sweet scent of a ripe fruit!

Hehehe!

It's all thanks to the Love Ritual!

Well done, Itsuki!

To be accurate, I haven't done it all the way to the end.

Come on, how can that be?

Check out how voluptuous her boobs have become!

Hey...

You sure enjoyed them last night, didn't you?

You perverted raccoon!

By the way, what happened to the Star Child that was born last night?

I sent him off to a foster home.

Huh? How come?

Can't he live with us?

Unlike the fruit of love between you two,

the Star Child is a warrior born with a mission.

He has to become strong in order to fight alongside the Visitor.

Otherwise, he'll get beaten up by the Impurities.

Is that how it is?

Can we go see him?

Of course!

But you two still have many things to do as the Visitor and a maiden.

Oh, you're right.

We can't go back unless we save the world, right?

Let's go!

Wait a minute!

Stop for a second around that corner!

And... action!

I'm late, I'm late.

What's your problem?

Huh? Oh, sorry.

Geez, give that back.

I'm late, I'm late.

Why do I have to do this?

What's with this act?

She's not in a hurry at all.

Good morning.

I was waiting for you two.

Let me introduce the other maidens first.

I see you're all here!

This is a special class just for the maidens of the 12 constellations.

Mahiru will be joining as well.

Please introduce yourself, Itsuki.

Um...

My name is Yuge Itsuki.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Konatsuki Mahiru.

Nice to meet you.

Everyone, please introduce yourselves.

I'm Arie.

I'm Maiden of Aries.

I devote myself to the church.

My name's Tarua!

I'm Maiden of Taurus!

I usually work as a delivery girl!

Nice to meet ya!

I'm Liris, a fortune teller.

I'm Maiden of Geminiー

Ow! Mana, did you just randomly hit me again?!

Her personality changes like this when you give her a jolt.

I'm Ruka. Maiden of Cancer.

She's the one I met this morning.

You don't have to remember my name or anything.

My name is Femiruna.

I'm Maiden of Leo.

Now that I've been chosen as one of the maidens,

world peace is practically guaranteed.

I'm Maiden of Libra, Mirei.

I mainly research magic.

That is all.

I'm Sue. Maiden of Sagittarius.

My job is taking care of animals, and I like cuddling them.

I'm Falun!

I somehow became Maiden of Capricorn.

I'm an adventurer, but I'm working at a bar now!

I'm Collette, a baker!

I now serve as Maiden of Aquarius.

Onii-san, please come buy bread that I bake!

Uh, I'm... Um... Yuzuha.

I usually draw paintings at home.

I may be Maiden of Pisces.

Then there's the Maiden of Virgo, Mahiru, and I'm the Maiden of Scorpio.

We are the maidens of the 12 constellations.

And I'm Mana, a maiden born under the constellation of Lewd.

I like the lewd side of you.

Geez, you're such a player!

By the way, Itsuki,

You will perform the ritual with all the girls over there.

Do you know how to seduce them?

No, my level is pretty low in that.

Read this and learn.

It's a present from me. An autographed copy!

It'll teach you proper behavior for an adult!

That sounds amazing, in many ways.

Read it and learn manners and etiquette.

An example lesson for beginners:

"Don't turn off: lights in the room and fire in the crotch!"

"One phrase for emergencies: we'll come together."

Say it, come on!

We'll come together...

Very good!

After all, the maidens are all virgins so it's easy as pie.

You're right!

I'm starting to think reading it will help me level up!

If you can form strong bonds with the maidens,

then you can give birth to stronger, more powerful Star Children.

Exhilarating skinship may be necessary at times!

For the sake of saving the world.

And so, my life at Granvania began.

I did as you instructed, but what was the purpose?

According to my manual,

that is the #1 ranked fateful encounter in Sola.

We're doing all this so that Itsuki can create a powerful Star Child.

How are you two doing?

Are you getting accustomed to living in this world?

I guess I'm starting to.

What about business?

Itsuki, are you making Star Children?

No, not at all.

Man, he's so useless.

Oh! I hear there's an event called cherry blossom viewing in your world, Sola.

We have decided to cancel the class,

and have a cherry blossom viewing today.

Let's have fun today, as a welcome party for Itsuki and Mahiru.

Cheers!

Please eat to your heart's content, everyone.

Yay! Let's dig in!

Hey, grab me some fried chicken!

Oh, I'm sorry for the disturbance.

Wow, these chocolates are really good!

You're right!

Femiruna brought these for us.

I can taste a hint of brandy.

Very similar to bonbons.

I'm not too sure, but we receive many gifts intended for my father.

I just randomly picked one.

No wonder, since your family is the wealthiest in Granvania.

That's a lot.

That's a cute chicken!

His name is Quelquelle.

Erm... Can you pass me some bread?

Um...

Do you want some bread, Yuzuha?

I baked it myself!

Here you go!

Thank you.

Huh? Where's Ruka?

She was here just now.

I'll go look for her.

What's the matter, Ruka?

Oh, it's just you.

I want to bring some flowers home.

Yeah, these are pretty.

I work at an orphanage.

I think the kids will like them.

I'll help you out.

T-Thanks.

R-Ruka?

You're too close...

What?

Are you thinking of something so dirty that I can't even get close to you?

You can try to hide it, but I see through everything.

I'm an esper!

What did you say?

I have celestial powers.

I can read your mind.

Really?

That's right. You can be gentle,
