Enjoy!

Schera doesn't know why, but she has been somehow ray shifted to a school's pool with her dearest girlfriend, Nitocris. Of course, it was Ritsuka-chan's idea to have Schera open up to water, so a school's pool is the best choice to do so. And better yet, Nito gets to come with her.

And so, with Nito's help, they put on blue competition swimsuits with their backs exposed. The rubber hugs Scheherazade's body a little too tightly. Ritsuka-chan couldn't find the right size for her, so she had to make do with a medium sized one. Nito, however, fits very well in that competition swimsuit.

The Desert Beauty duo swim together with Nitocris showing her the ropes. Back strokes, front strokes, butterfly strokes, dog paddles and so on. Schera learns quickly, even though she is a bit terrified of the deep end of the pool. But she bravely adapts to Nito's teachings and thus, it makes the little pharaoh happy.

Night falls and Schera is back in her regular, skimpy revealing clothing. Ritsuka-chan is supposed to ray shift her back to base, yet it's taking her a bit long to do so. Nitocris has contacted her a few minutes ago before changing.

Golden high heels clack as she steps around the perimeter of the pool and sees the full moon. Tonight seems to be so beautiful. It makes Schera smile a beautiful smile. She puts a hand on the fence in front of her as she admires the shining moon above her. In fact, the light of the moon makes her beautiful features stand out, or so Nito sees as she returns from changing into her regular attire.

"B-beautiful…!" Nitocris breathes.

"Eh…?" Schera turns toward her and light wind blows, making her dark mane sway gracefully.

Nitocris clenches a fist to her humble chest. Never has she seen such BEAUTY from Schera, not at a night like this. She takes a few steps forward.

"I-I mean um…what a beautiful night this is~" Nito laughs nervously.

"Yes…it certainly is," Schera says looking up at the moon. "Such a beautiful night to watch the moon with you, Nito."

The little pharaoh clenches her chest with both fists and shuts her eyes tightly. She doesn't know if her heart can take it. "She's….SO…BEAUTIFUL!" She squeaks as her face becomes a shade darker.

"Nito….?" Schera's oh so soft voice makes Nito's jackal ears twitch.

"I-I-I-I'm fine…!" Nito is shaking, trying to keep her balance. "I just n-need a few minutes to myself…!" She takes a few deep breaths.

Schera gives a soft, elegant giggle, having a hand over her mouth. She then walks over to her small girlfriend and pets her. "And you, Nito, are so very cute."

Nito's ears droop down as she gives a cute pout. "Mou…are you making fun of me…?"

"No…it's the truth~" Schera says as she smiles.

"Uuuu…!" Nito whines as she backs away and then takes a few steps forward toward the fence, putting a hand against it. She looks down at the ground. "Say, Schera…"

"What is it, Nito?" The taller woman asks.

"It's been…a very long time since we have been together…" Nito says. "Ever since that summer death race…where I recruited you to be my partner. And….we won the race thanks to our outstanding teamwork. And then…we confessed our love…"

Schera nods with a smile. "I have not forgotten our first meeting~"

"The point is…" Nito turns to the taller woman. "Are you willing….to become my Queen someday!?" She shuts her eyes tightly as she says this.

"Wh-whaaa…!?" Schera backs away a few steps in surprise.

"My apologies for saying this out of the blue," Nito says as her ears droop down and she taps her index fingers together. "But…but as Pharaoh, he/she always needs a partner in order to rule properly. And clearly, I know who to pick to have a Queen by my side. And that is you, Schera."

Schera's shock wears off quickly and she smiles with a nod. "I would be more than willing to become your queen, Nito. You have been…so sweet to me for a very long time. How could I possibly refuse this offer~?"

"Oh, good, good!" Nito jumps up and down happily and dances around. "I'll have everything ready! I have the preparations in mind, the party that comes after…oh! Did I even mention that we are going to-WAH!" She trips over the edge from dancing too much.

"NITO!!" Schera's voice goes an octave higher as she reaches out.

As if they are in slow slow motion, Nito's eyes widen as she is about to fall into the water. Schera grabs her girlfriend's wrist, but her pure weight has them unable to get back on the surface and instead has Schera fall on top of Nito into the water.

Both are in the deep end of the pool. However, Nito is too mesmerized by the beauty of her girlfriend floating above her, her black mane spreading out because of the water. The Desert Beauty duo can only gaze at each other while under the water. Did they forget to breathe? It's almost as if they have the ability to stay underwater for long periods of time.

None of that matters of course because Nitocris begins to smile. Schera can hear Nito giggling from her mind and the taller woman cannot help but smile as well. They position themselves so that they are at the same level, intertwine hands and then nuzzle each other's noses. And then..they lean in to share a passionate kiss.

Eternal bliss is all they are feeling, despite being in the water. They can only focus on each other. And that is just fine. The light of the moon shining down upon them makes their features stand out, which makes it even better.

The Desert Beauty Duo pull away and give each other a nod. They need air, so Nito leads the way, gently pulling Schera to the surface. Once they got their air back, they turn toward each other and share some soft lyrical giggles.

They get out of the water, help each other dry off and then head toward the portal that has finally opened. They return to Chaldea Base, go to their shared room and drift off to sleep, with Nito in Schera's arms.
