Chapter 132: Snow Globe (1)

I made a chair by mixing clay and snow, then a primary residence with a modern design. It was a combination of resiliency and aesthetic sense. Meanwhile, Sophien was still eating with all the etiquette expected of a royal diner.

“Let me explain.”

Sophien put down her spoon, drawing my eye.

“There was no lag in my bedroom. I took possession of the cat as soon as you picked up the Snow Globe and made you stop. But there was a delay outside the bedroom.”

“Yes. Then-“

“Perhaps this Snow Globe has put a force field around my bedroom. It must be projecting a certain radius around both the outside and the inside of the snow globe. It must be a defense mechanism of its own.”

“Yes. And-“

“This time difference may increase over time, or it may be constant.”

Sophien closed her eyes for a moment, sending her mind out to possess Munchkin.

Tick-tock-

My watch ticked on.

“…”

She opened her eyes again and followed my line of sight to my watch.

“The time lag is gradually increasing. Four days here is about a day in the outside world.”

“I see.”

It was a reasonable inference. Sophien placed her chin atop her hand.

“Aren’t you suspicious?”

“Your Majesty can’t say anything wrong.”

I mimicked her as she grinned and opened another cup of ice cream.

“…But, it’s amazing.”

I checked the blood flowing through my body to guess the concentration of external mana and calculate the speed at which mana was restored. Midas’ Hand and Understanding the Snow Globe consumed 5,000 mana, but 200 mana was refilled.

“There is nothing different about it from the outside world. Rather, the concentration of mana is thick. It’s perfect for practice.”

I looked back at Sophien, who tilted her head like a child told to study.

“Your Majesty?”
