(Fade to Chaldea corridor)

Gilgamesh: Hmph... Well now, if it isn't a rare sight. What made you think of keeping company, sun king? Having specially made your way from the simulator into Chaldea like this.

Ozymandias: Heh. Don't talk like that, gold one. If it wasn't for Master's sincere request, I would have flatly refused and not come at all. 'Don't stay in the pyramid simulation all the time and make yourself at home in Chaldea once in a while,' they entreated.

Gilgamesh: Oh? If that's so, then very well. For the pharaoh who knows nothing of walking within Chaldea, I don't mind specially volunteering to be your guide. I happen to be in a good mood this evening.

Ozymandias: Hmm.

Gilgamesh: For example, earlier, I just lined up some coffins that are to become My Room. More than that, do you know that hole in the wall they call a reception hall in the warehouse division interior? There's a western style structure that doesn't suit this wintery base... or so they say. It may be that it's meant to imitate a mountain lodge. In name, it's supposed to be the Recreation Room. It seems many of the common people amuse themselves there with electronic game machines. When we're free, let's kill some time there.

(Hooves clopping)

Artoria (Lancer): Hmm, not bad. The Recreation Room, right? If there happens to be a racing game I can amuse myself with, then I, too, shall join in fellowship. It would be pleasant to beat up you ancient kings until you're black and blue. There's a side of myself you haven't seen as of yet, but I'll beat that up, too.

Ozymandias: Lion king!?

(Examines closely)

….Not her, hmm. A beautiful woman, then. Haha, for the time being, it'd be best if you dismounted from that white horse!

Gilgamesh: [sneer, sneer] It would be difficult for this woman to try to dismount here!

Ozymandias: A night to indulge in sport together with a woman of peerless beauty, is it. Fufu, fufufu. No. I couldn't show this to Nefertari!

Gilgamesh: Hahahahahahaha. It's not that sort of sport. Well, it would be troublesome to explain, but first, it would be best to steal a glimpse!

NOW COME!

Ozymandias:

LET US BE OFF!

Artoria (Lancer): Both of you, your voices are loud!

(Fade out)

Nitocris: Ah, at last. We finally did it! Pharaoh Ozymandias, together with fresh servants, with such a friendly atmosphere! Good, good! After all, the other party was King Gilgamesh, so I had to shut my eyes! Thank you, master. Thanks to you, it seems Pharaoh was able to stretch his wings and enjoy himself.
(In Ozymandias's throne room in a pyramid)

Ozymandias: Now then─ Let's start the Ceremony of the Practice Hundred. Nitocris!

Nitocris: Yes. Ready and waiting!

Ozymandias: I shall allow even you to participate in this ceremony. No matter how I view it, it doesn't seem you can manage it with merely the pawns you brought with you. Hmph. Let us not have any accidents in this simulation. It'd be bad if feedback from the shock of death woke you. Do your utmost to strive together with Ritsuka. I shall watch over this entire affair from up here.

Nitocris: As you command. Now then, your resolve is magnificent, Ritsuka. Um, now that I think on it, what was it you were going to do? Don't look like a target!

GROWL

Nitocris: As you can tell from that growl, a herd of divine beasts is gathering. To be unprepared is forbidden. I'll do my best to control any carelessness, so surely you can do it, too! Rely on adrenaline and fight!


Ritsuka: Wait, did you say a herd!?

Nitocris: Yes. You look like you're about to cry! Or rather, you are crying a bit, no way!

GROWL

Nitocris: Eeeek... No, no I won't be afraid! Even like this! I'll do it. I can do it. Just like this..!

[AND THEN THEY FIGHT A LOT OF BEASTS]

Nitocris: Huff, huff, huff... Haaaaah.... Somehow... that's.... all of them...! Haaah..... ...W-we, we did it! We finally managed to beat them, Ritsuka!

Ozymandias: I see. Your strength exceeded my expectations. You've earned the right to hear me admit I underestimated you. I am a wise pharaoh, a god, the world itself, but even gods and the world are not completely omnipotent and omniscient. From time to time, people raise a miracle. It's easy to say that's simply the way the world works, but tonight, I will not! Fufu. That was a splendid battle, Ritsuka! You as well, Nitocris!

Nitocris: Pharaoh Ozymandias...

Ozymandias: Hm. You endured well. You fought well. You would do well to boast. Now, after five and a half minutes' recess, we shall restart the Sphinx Challenge in Chaldea!

Ritsuka: No way, wasn't that the end!?

Nitocris: Eeeeep (tiny voice)

Ozymandias: Now, time to restart. Do your utmost not to let the divine beasts tear your soul to shreds!

GROWL

Ritsuka: I can see something breaking through!

Ozymandias: Hahaha, that's the spirit. Do not lose heart. Let's view this second Amon Ra as if it were a great rival! Let's see this so-called data reproduction. Yes, strive ever higher!

Nitocris: ...Alright. Here we go!

[THEY FIGHT AGAIN]

Nitocris: Ze... Ha.... Haa... Hafu, hafuuuuuu...... a-air...... Sorry, that, fuu, hyuuu..... Haaaaa.......... Haa, haa.... Y.... yeah.... pha..! W-we did it. We did it.... Finally. Finally, finally, finally....! We finally did it, Ritsuka! We showed we could accomplish the Ceremony of the Practice Hundred twice in a row!

Ozymandias: Hm. You endured well. You fought well. You would do well to boast. Now, after five minutes and forty seconds' recess, we shall begin the Sphinx Challenge in Chaldea's closing battle!

Ritsuka: Somehow, it's frightening for the recess to only increase ten seconds!

Nitocris: (smiling while starting to disappear) …....................

Ritsuka: Come back, come back, Nitocris!

Nitocris: (stops disappearing) Hah..! T-too much of an honor... Due to this absolute height of delight, I carelessly flew from this world.... U-um, um um, Pharaoh Ozymandias, if this is truly the final battle, then with my last breath I'll--

Ozymandias: UNNECESSARY!

Nitocris: Pya..!

Ozymandias: ...Hmph. There's no need for you to obey so humbly. Respect rather than your hearts. Your thoughts about myself. All was apparent from your form alone as you challenged the second Ceremony of the Practice Hundred. This god king has received it clearly and is finished. An offering greater than this is unnecessary! There has already been a sacrifice! Too much praise or respect would be counterproductive; let's speak without civility from time to time.

Nitocris: P-please forgive......

Ozymandias: VERY WELL. I FORGIVE ALL!

Take it easy and rest, Nitocris! It's alright to be too serious and wear yourself out if you wish, but if you do so too much, you must understand your body will come to harm. I, a great god, have torn up thirty percent of my reserves. I shall show you no less than twice the restoration effect you'd receive from your bedroom! This is my blessing as Ra!

Nitocris: (smiles) Haha. I shall gratefully accept your kindness. Pharaoh Ozymandias! I who have born my soul, Nitocris, shall rest in the inner sanctum!

Ozymandias: I see. In moderation, yes.

[THIS INTERLUDE CONTINUES BUT IM SAVING FOR ANOTHER MEMORY THX]
[cut to inside of temple]

Ozymandias:
——-Hmm.
I am drowsy. Very drowsy—–

Mashu:
(Senpai, we were taken to the throne room like VIPs as soon as we arrived here, but—
The olive-skinned man rubbing his eyes on the throne……
Is he King Ozymandias?!)

Nitocris:
You have finally come, suspicious travelers!
I will not mind that you were somewhat slow!
Having made it past the trials of the sphinxes, you have earned the right to an audience with His Majesty!
Now, prostrate yourselves!
Then the king will surely rouse himself from his languor and grace you with his words!

Gudao:
You are King Ozymandias? Really?

Nitocris:
What……what impudence……!
Much too arrogant a tone to address the god of these lands, the Pharaoh!
He is greatest of Pharaohs.
The most valiant, the most authoritative and closest to godhood—
Pharaoh Ozymandias!
The ideal king who will establish his rule over this apocalyptic land and become its savior!

Ozymandias:
……How unusual, Nitocris.
Though you are the flashy type, you were not the type to raise your voice so.
It would seem that you have taken quite the liking to them.
Haha, that is good. Quite, quite.

Nitocris:
M-my deepest apologies, Pharaoh.
It was inexcusable of me to have let your true name be known in my fervor……
That was something that should have been left to Your Majesty.
……I, Nitocris, most profoundly regret my actions.

Ozymandias:
That is true. It is a severe crime to take away my enjoyment.
Sever your arm later and put it in a bottle.

Nitocris:
I understand. My heartfelt thanks for your graciousness……

Ozymandias:
……Now then.
So you are the foreign travelers.
My name is Ozymandias.
I am the sun and a god, and the Pharaoh who rules the land.
Not only does that not change in the past and present, I was weary of being called Rider or some such.
This small throne is no more than something I use to assuage my boredom.
And. Not to mention.
—Mm. Right now, I am drowsy.
Like an old man waking from the brink of death.
And so I shall keep my words to a minimum.
Heed my words, as those of the king, and carve them into your mind.
I know that you are sent from Chaldea.
That you are the ones who have repaired five singularities thus far.
And that you have finally appeared here, the sixth lynchpin—
The holy land of sand. All of that I know.
Because I am the holder of the grail that you seek.

Gudao:
Grail……! Are you, a demon pillar……?!

Ozymandias:
Why would I ally with the King of Magecraft?
This is from the Crusaders, when I first descended upon this land—

[Ozymandias’ head appears to slide off his neck, before recovering]

Fou:
Foooou?!

Ozymandias:
——I confiscated it from the Crusaders, as befitting of the true king.

Mashu:
U-um……King Ozymandias, that is a surprise to us, but um!

Da Vinci:
(wordlessly nodding in agreement)

Gudao:
Your neck just now……?!
……it slid off?!

Ozymandias:
——Impossible. You must be weary from your journey.
Though that was insolent of you, I shall forgive you.
My neck is perfectly fine, after all.
And, having acquired the grail, I—ah.

[Ozymandias’ head appears to slide off his neck, again]

Ozymandias:
…… (a silent question of “did you see that?”)

Gudao:
…… (a silent averting of the eyes)

Ozymandias:
Nitocris!

Nitocris:
Your Majesty! What does Your Majesty require?

Ozymandias:
I am not in the mood for this! And so I shall exercise!
Summon the fire sprites to wake me up!
Let us do this, o Master of Chaldea!
I have especially taken a liking to your silence earlier!

Mashu:
Master, Pharaoh Ozymandias is engaging us in combat for an incomprehensible reason!

Da Vinci:
All right, it’s as I imagined……! This king is a problem kid who’s lived by his own rules his whole life!
mywife: (broshuu10)
Who: Pharaoh and you???
Where: Hotel Lobby
When: Day 48, morning

[It's been like 12 hours so of course we need another monologue.

But this time, it is a GROUP EFFORT. The hotel lobby is a bit of a mess as it's covered in a bunch of stuff, potentially a lot of gaudy stuff! After all, ZRAEL are hoarders that steal from games like the assholes they are apparently. There are chairs on top of tables, drapes lining up the sides to make it more dramatic, and a bunch of ZRAELs just chilling.

Of course, Pharaoh's chair is a bit higher than the rest, one leg resting on a knee. It's just the natural order of things.]

IDOLS! FOLLOWERS!

The sun has risen in greeting, demanding that I give you my presence. I will speak once more, and I shall speak again and again as long as I am here. As an extra bonus, the rest of ☆ZRAEL will accompany me.

It seems the thieves of this world have decided to take away a God of our unit, my beloved sister! The reunion was bittersweet as I have only had a chance to speak with her for less than a day. Is this what they consider a punishment for my arrival or is it fear? Hmph, it is fine. A god is perfect, a god is absolute, and a god is immortal. Thus as she says, they can take her away but she cannot die. They have done it before, and they are trying again, but it is futile.

They've made a mistake for they have left me behind. Fine! If you will take a god of ☆ZRAEL, you will only ensure future wrath from our side. I hold no fear, I shall take up her mantle while she is gone. She will set her influence elsewhere, and this will become my responsibility! This unit will now be under my care, and I'll make sure that we will rise until our faces will never be forgotten by everyone here.

I shall reward the offerings given to me so far! Do not assume these producers provide to me, I recognize all of you watching! These points are from you, and so I will return your gift. Let us see what these offerings will provide for all of you. I shall purchase a memory and you can witness my past brilliance!

[And so he purchases a memory just as extra as he is now I'm sorry.]
