Vivi got a tour of Sophia's domain, and the blonde certainly didn't hold back, showing her an empty, all-white space and her cherry blossom forest, the flagship area of her domain, while explaining that they were currently in a different world. Her world.

  The puma was overwhelmed for a good while, but her mind was surprisingly strong, and once she heard more about Sophia's friendship with Mira, she simply went ahead and accepted everything the tiger threw at her.

  “Heyo!” Sophia and Vivi exited the portal that led them to the beach near Kel’s ocean, where the tiger playfully greeted Aura, Mira, who was still there, and the dragon in the water next to them. "Wait, why is the whole beach charred? Ah, I guess someone had another match, huh?” Her eyes wandered between Kel and the wolf.”

  “Yup!” Aura replied to her while the dragon lightly nodded his massive head.

  “Ahh.” The blonde scratched her cheek. “Well, whatever.” She wasn’t really bothered by it in the end and looked at Mira instead. “So, what did you tell them that is going to shock me greatly in a few weeks?”

  “I am deeply hurt by how lowly you think of me!” The overseer pouted a little.

  "See, exactly the same." Aura's voice was full of smugness when she looked at the overseer while remembering the talk about the two having similar personalities.

  “Shush.” The teal fox glanced back at her.

  “Am I wrong?” She increased her stare.

  “This and that are unrelated~.” Mira let out a chuckle before changing the topic. “Who’s the lovely puma-girl behind you?”

  “That’s Vivi!” Sophia moved a bit to the side to fully show her. “She’s the girlfriend of Ari’s sister and a new friend of mine!”

  “It’s a pleasure to meet you~.” The overseer gently smiled at her while waving her hand, as well.”

  “Hello.” Kel and Aura were a bit less formal.

  “Uhh… H-Hello!” Looking at the tall wolf, Aura was still in her grown form, the 300-meter-long and sparkly serpent dragon, as well as the 9-tailed overseer of magic, Vivi looked the slightest bit overwhelmed.

  “There’s no need to keep your distance from me.” Mira’s smile got even gentler before gesturing at Kel and the wolf. “Those two also don’t usually bite.”

  “Usually, yes.” The two in question agreed with her.

  “Not helping.” Sophia rolled her eyes.

  “You could’ve warned me that THE Mira is here, too!” Vivi blamed the tiger for being overwhelmed.

  “Just Mira is fine.” The overseer lightly shook her head.

  “O-Of course!” She only got more flustered.

  "To be fair, everyone has the same reaction when seeing you for the first time." Sophia shrugged while looking at Mira. "People, even in the capital, when you walk around there, get used to you super quick, though.”

  “Well, we all are creatures of habit.”

  “Fair enough.”

  “This is so cool!” Vivi finally caught up with the situation she was in, and her eyes started sparkling. “It’s an absolute honor to meet the overseer of magic in person! Such a powerful wolf and a dragon that looks fancier than I could ever dream of is something else entirely, as well!"

  “There’s the excitable puma~.”

  “Oh, that’s quite the bounce back!” Aura sounded impressed. “She’s taking this rather well, especially with big ol’ Kelkel over here, too.”

  “She’s amazing when it comes to that!” The blonde clapped her hands. “She even accepted this domain and a bunch of my magic after only thinking about it for like five minutes! She even wants to make her own giant tree landmark already~.”

  “Wow, someone has a strong head on their shoulders.” The wolf nodded a few times while looking at the puma. “Even more so when compared with the poor cat-boy from earlier.”

  “Yeah, Luca took quite some damage.” Sophia scratched her cheek again. I’m sure he’ll be fine, though. Probably.”

  Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

  “It’s always lovely to see someone being open to new and complex magic.” Mira smiled at her. “Especially when we’re talking about someone as creative as Sophia.”

  “Thank you very much!” Vivi was delighted to hear that from the overseer.

  The group kept chatting for a little longer, but Mira eventually had to excuse herself. She initially only came to say hi to Kel but ended up staying way longer than she had intended because the overseer had planned to go on a date with Fey afterward, which she had no intentions of being too late for.

  ----------------

  "So, how about a match with Kel, my dear?" Once the overseer was done, Aura looked at Vivi with a teasing tone in her voice, as she had the same idea as Sophia earlier.

  “There’s just no way I could even scratch such a majestic being!” The puma-girl vigorously shook her head while pointing at the dragon. “I probably wouldn’t even survive him sneezing in my direction!”

  “Ohh, I like her!” The majestic being let out a low and grumbly chuckle.

  “That’s a good reaction.” The wolf sounded rather happy. “As in, you didn’t turn into a mess just hearing my suggestion.”

  “Thanks…?”

  "It was also just a joke." She let out a small laugh. "You actually seem on the far stronger side of the beastfolk, but taking on an elder dragon would be a bit much.”

  “Elder dragon?” Sophia tilted her head. “Did you retire, Kel?”

  “Not that kind of elder, dummy.” The wolf rolled her eyes.

  “Wait, as in the uber alpha dragon boss ruling over everyone?!” She got a little louder.

  “Pretty much.”

  “When did that lore drop?!” Sophia raised her voice even more. “Did I really fish such an important dragon out of a lake?!”

  "You fished him out of a lake?!" Vivi's eyes also grew wide.

  “I don’t think that’s the takeaway here, dear.” Aura glanced at the puma-girl.

  "A-Ah…”

  “She did not.” Kel did not appreciate the implications of him being in the same class as a fish.

  “I dangled a bait in front of you underwater, and you took it. I think you call that fishing where I come from.” The blonde didn’t see the issue.

  “…” He went silent.

  “Anyway, what’s this elder dragon thing about?!” Sophia didn't want to get too sidetracked.

  “Is it okay for her to learn about dragon secrets?” Aura glanced at the puma-girl.

  “It most certainly is!” Vivi nodded a few times.

  “Is it something that should stay a secret?” The tiger tilted her head while looking at the wolf.

  "Not really," Kel answered her instead. “We aren’t hiding that part about us, it’s just not a topic that is talked about because in what situation would that be on the agenda?”

  “If you say so.” Aura didn’t really care about it, after all. “Our Kelkel here is the aquatic dragon. The boss of them. The alpha of all water dragons. Every elemental dragon has a leader, and he's one of them."

  “Is that why you’re so sparkly and shiny?” Vivi stared at him again. “Because you’re a super dragon?!”

  “No, that’s unrelated to each other.” He lightly shook his massive head. “I became sparkly because I thought it would be cool.”

  “Valid!” She saw no issue with that.

  “Hah.” Sophia paused for a moment. “How do I keep attracting all those important people?”

  “Aren’t you like super important, too?” Vivi looked at the tiger. “That’s at least what everyone in the castle told me earlier.”

  “I’d definitely sort myself below Sophia on the importance scale.” Kel reacted with a slight nod.

  “See, even the dragon boss thinks so!”

  “She’s definitely a fun one.” Aura was starting to like the puma, too.

  “Shush!” Sophia didn't appreciate it, though. “I mean, I’m not complaining, because it’s amazing to have such cool friends, but I should have all the rights to be confused about so many interesting people being around me!”

  “Similar people attract each other.” The puma-girl had an easy explanation.

  “Good point.” Aura and Kel agreed with her.

  “Is that why we met?” The tiger stared at Vivi.

  “Absolutely not!” She rapidly shook her head. “I’m just fascinated by interesting people!”

  “Anyway!” Sophia got back on the topic. “That’s so cool! I really found the perfect dragon to create an ocean in my biome, huh?"

  “You sure did~.” He sounded rather boastful about it.

  “Hold on!” The blonde then got loud. “If Kel’s the elder alpha boss of the water dragons, does that mean there's an uber dragon for each element? Like a fire Kel, an earth Kel, an air Kel, and so on?!”

  “They have different names and look different, but yes.” Water Kel answered her.

  “According to Mira, it’s not just main elements, but also something like elder poison or lightning dragons!” Aura got excited again while thinking about it. “She said there are a low double digit of elder dragons!”

  “Woah!” Sophia’s eyes started sparkling. “I need to meet them all!”

  “Same!” The wolf energetically nodded. “I want to fight every single one of them!”

  “And I want them to build their own biome in my domain here!”

  "Are you really confused about why you keep meeting important people…?" Vivi stared at her as she kept talking about how she’s actively going to search for a bunch of mythical dragons.

  “Ah.” Sophia had nothing to say in her defense.

  "Also, those conversations you all are having with such a casual tone are amazing!" The puma-girl looked amazed. “Normal people couldn’t even dream about talking about such things!”

  “Well, if you find out interesting things, you talk about interesting things.” Sophia scratched her cheek. “Do we know where those other boss dragons live? They instantly became a rather high priority on my to-do list."

  “Mira told me that they exist, but refused to tell me where we can find them.”

  “Yeah, that sounds like something she’d do.” The tiger wasn’t surprised about that.

  “I know where some of them used to live, but it’s been quite a while, so I don’t know if they’re still in the area.” Kel provided additional information on the matter.

  “That’s a start!” Sophia was happy about that already.

  Once that interesting topic was taken care of, at least as much as they could at the moment, the group continued to chat about various other things while Vivi got to know them better, as she was incredibly curious about everyone around her. In the evening, Sophia brought her back to the royal capital to return her to Nina and the others. The blonde also told her that she’d come by for another chat the day after to see what the group's plans would be now.
