"So the members of the Raevender family have the ability to procreate an offspring regardless of gender. I have been so confused why this nation only has queens. That explains why, huh?"
"Yes. My sister is also planning on marrying women just like our mothers. Right, Sister?"
"Yeah."
"I see."
The sun was about to set to the horizon, and we had spent the afternoon tending the tree spirits on their sightseeing around the city. Currently, we were having a chat inside the magic carriage as we were on our way toward our last destination. My sister and I would be the tour guides for our three beautiful guests for the day.
After sealing the pact, the tree spirits agreed to our suggestions on exploring the city while they were still here. I did not know if having the tree spirits see the city for themselves was necessary, but at least they got the opportunity to witness a full view of what a human world looked like once.
Other than the sightseeing, we would also be accommodating them with a place to spend the night in the palace. They said that it was unnecessary because, as spiritual beings, they barely needed rest at all.

But they eventually accepted our offer so that they could have time to talk in private. By the way, the three of them would be using one room since they preferred to stay together.
Even though we told them we would not be disturbing or eavesdropping on them, I still secretly assigned a vision in their room for security purposes. I promised not to peek at them to show respect for our nation's latest allies, but it was not like there was something that I could see. I would just put the footage in my archives.
We originally planned to explore the city by incognito with Big Sis and me putting on some disguise to avoid attention and commotion like we used to do back in the Lavender City.
Gron seemed to be excited about the things she saw outside, such as the foods at the stalls and the entertainment some establishments had been offering. Meanwhile, Fyr had been putting on a poker face since then. I hoped that she was just probably hiding her excitement. But she had been like a big sister to Gron, always mindful of her.
My sister and I chatted with Aesfen for a few more minutes before the carriage showed the signs of pulling over. The carriage eventually came to a stop, and we could feel that the coachman jumped off his seat. The door then opened wide, and our first stop unfolded before our eyes.
"Alright, we are here."
When we all had disembarked the carriage, we glanced at the fancy establishment in front of us. We were currently at the Louisiana branch of my company's restaurant, where we would dine in and have our dinner.
"So what is this place, His Highness Raphael?"
"This is the finest restaurant in the city. It is owned by me and Sophia. We will be having our diner here," I explained before I took a glance at Aesfen. "You said that spirits can eat, yes?"
"Well, yes. Like humans and monsters do, we tree spirits also consumed food for our daily routine, but in smaller proportions as we didn't have a physical body at the time."
"I see. I never asked this before, but do tree spirits consume meat?"
"Hm? Just because we have affinities for plants and trees does not mean that we only eat fruits and crops. We sometimes consume meat from the monsters we exterminated. You can say that monster meat is like fertilizer to us due to its mana residue."
"Is that so? If it's okay then, you would probably like our special Buraq steak."
"It is a pleasure, Your Highness."
