(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.
