Sophia met up with Vivi in the castle and gave her a quick rundown on the tiger's friends, her powers, and the plan to go to the demon country. Surprisingly, rather than being shocked or overwhelmed, the puma-girl got excited over everything she heard. However, when the blonde finally told her about her domain, which was effectively a different world, Vivi's common sense finally took a hit.

  “No.” Sophia and Vivi were still together in the castle, and the puma was currently vigorously shaking her.

  “Yes~.” The tiger smiled at her.

  “There’s simply no way that you’d have your own world!”

  “I’m still working on it, so most places are empty, but my domain still classifies as a different world, if you ask me. After all, it only exists inside my portals.”

  “Look, I can accept your portal thingies bridging the gaps between places because I’ve seen it, and I like you a lot already because you seem to enjoy life to the fullest, more than anyone else ever could, but owning a different world is just too much.”

  “Well,” Sophia then shrugged while snapping her fingers. Then, a door-sized portal appeared in front of them in the room. Rather than leading to some sort of grassy plain or other nature-looking area, the inside of the portal was pure white, though. “Luckily, I don’t just have words to prove my claims. I wanted to wait until the prince and your girlfriend are back because I don’t want to do the same thing multiple times, but you were so excited about everything else I told you that I want to make you believe now.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “Let’s go~.” Without elaborating any further, Sophia grabbed the puma’s hand and dragged her through the portal.

  “H-Huh?!” Vivi couldn’t believe her eyes once they arrived on the other side. “Why is everything so white around us? Why is there nothing?!”

  “Welcome to my domain~.” The tiger smiled at her again. “Or in other words, a different world.”

  “How is a white whatever this is a different world?” Vivi tilted her head. “If anything, it looks like we’re in a big box of nothingness.”

  “That’s because this part of the world is empty. Nothing has been created yet.”

  “Shouldn’t an empty world just be dirt or rocks? Oh, or water?” The puma-girl looked around some more. “Definitely not a shiny white box.”

  “How do you know?” She just stared at her. "Do you know what your world looked like when it first came into existence?"

  “Hah.” Vivi paused for a second. “Fair enough.”

  “Also, it’s not just a white box.” The blonde shook her head. “It goes on like this forever. It’s hard to make out because there’s no texture, but you could walk for thousands of kilometers in any direction without anything changing.”

  “Eh?”

  “Yup, it literally doesn’t end.” Sophia gave her a cheeky thumbs-up. “It’s basically an endless white canvas for me to be creative with. Wait, I just came up with that, but it’s a perfect fit! I’ll be using that from now on!”

  “What does that even mean? Are there places that look different from this?” The puma gestured all around her.

  “Of course!” She nodded a few times. "If everything were like this, there’s no way I could call it a different world! I just think this white has the biggest shock value.”

  “You definitely succeeded with that part.” Vivi still couldn’t really grasp what she was looking at right now.

  “All of my friends and I are creating all sorts of fun areas in here. Let me show you my favorite place!” Saying so, the tiger opened another portal to continue the tour.

  “Woah!” The two arrived on one of the floating islands over Sophia’s cherry blossom forest. To be more precise, it was the central inland with the little river and the massive weeping cherry with the hammock under it. Something in the area was a little new, though. The tiger had been working hard to get rid of the all-white sky and managed to replace it with a light, but solid pale blue color to make it a little more appealing. It didn’t look quite like a normal sky just yet, mostly because it cost too much magic, but it was looking way better already.

  “Pretty, isn’t it?” The blonde seemed extremely proud of herself.

  “It’s such a beautiful tree, yes!” Vivi’s eyes were glued to the weeping cherry.

  “Not that one, dummy.” Sophia tried to get her attention while pointing off the island.

  “Eh…?” The puma-girl finally took a look at her surroundings and immediately froze. At first, all the other floating islands all around them caused her to let out a gasp, but once she looked a little down and saw the literally unending ocean of pink below the islands created by the countless cherry trees, she was at a complete loss for words.

  “You have no idea how hard it was to create this area.” The blonde scratched her cheek while also looking around. “I think it was worth it, though. It’s still not fully done, and I have more work to do on all sorts of things, but I absolutely adore this place!”

  “You… created this place?” Vivi stared at her with an open mouth.

  “Yup.” She just grinned at her. “This area used to be the same all-white space we were in earlier when I started working on the cherry blossom forest below.”

  "HOW?!"

  “Magic~.” Sophia let out a small chuckle. “Lots of magic. Tons of it, even. Well, that and a few cherry trees to get started. You can use magic to grow and multiply plants.”

  “You can?!”

  “Of course!”

  “Of course, she says…” Vivi rolled her eyes. “Is that really how magic is supposed to work?”

  “Sure!” The tiger smiled at her before pointing into the distance to their right. “Do you see that massive weeping cherry all the way over there? The one being impossibly big and towering over all the others?”

  “It’s hard to miss.” She responded with a slight nod.

  “Ellie, the little tiger princess you met earlier, created that one with her magic by using it on a regular-sized tree.”

  “Ellie? As in, the little sister of Nathan? The very little one? She did that?” The puma’s eyes grew wider again.

  “That very adorable little tiger, yes. It’s actually incredibly easy. You just have to release your internal magic power without actually using it. The plants then soak up the raw magic and grow. In a way, it’s somewhat similar to a magic oven that heats up when you put raw magic into it. People just don’t think about releasing your magic just like that, I guess. Everyone in my group has already grown a bunch of nature like that.”

  “You and your friends are insane.” Vivi had nothing else to say. “That being said, I like insane. Insane people are usually the ones with the most fun in life. You put that on a new level, though.”

  “Hehe.” Sophia liked being called insane for a change.

  “Is this really a different world, though? That just doesn’t want to enter my head. What happened to the all-white stuff around here, too? Also, how do those islands float?” She had a lot of questions.

  "In the end, it depends on how you define a world, but it is a vast and never-ending place where people can live, as well as where flora and fauna prosper. Close enough if you ask me.” The tiger shrugged. “The white part of this domain is something like a placeholder. Once actual nature starts growing, it gets automatically replaced by it. For how the islands float, I have no idea. Magic, I guess? It looks cool, so I don’t really care.”

  "Did you get your magic from Mira, the overseer of magic, who you even personally seem to know, or why are you able to use these kinds of power that no normal person obviously has?” Vivi continued to be confused by her seemingly limitless powers.

  “No, Mira has not granted me any magic.” Sophia tried really hard not to accidentally put too much emphasis on the overseer’s name. “I managed to talk her into teaching me all sorts of fun things to do with magic. Being friends with her daughter, who is conveniently dating my sister, also helped with learning all sorts of interesting things from her.”

  “Ohh!” The puma-girl clapped her hands as her expression eased up. “I’m now perfectly fine with everything you just showed me.” She let out a short laugh. “If you learned at least parts of your magic from an overseer, nothing should be impossible!”

  “You are amazing!” Sophia loved how readily the puma-girl was to accept the unnatural. Also, as her summary technically wasn’t wrong, she had no intention of elaborating further.

  “Ehehe~.” Vivi enjoyed the praise. “Wait, so does that mean I could also create my own gigantic tree like that?” She then pointed at the kilometer-wide weeping cherry that Ellie had created a while back.

  “Mhmm, Ellie has a lot more magic than you do.” She scratched her cheek. “Creating a tree the same size as this could be a challenge for you. Generally, it would still be possible for you to grow a tree incomparably bigger than any naturally grown tree, so you definitely could create a landmark worthy to be marked on a map.”

  “That’s so cool! I want to try that!”

  “Sure~.” Sophia smiled at her once more. "Alright, I showed you an empty part of my domain, and now a mostly complete area. How about something that is more of a work in progress? You can meet Kel, our friendly neighborhood dragon, that way as well.”

  “Please!” Vivi raised her voice. “No, pretty please!”

  Letting out a small chuckle, the tiger created another portal so she could continue the tour of her domain and show the excited puma even more things.
