6 years old 7 Part 2. The reason why the black lion prince has to eat white rice.

This chapter was made possible with the help of Kofi supporters.

His Holiness once again one-handedly caught Faus, who had pushed me down and was completely on top of me and moved him away. 

While he was at it, he took a sandwich out of the basket and shoved it into Faus’ mouth. 

He was a bold man in the way he did things. 

I thought a high priest would have had better manners.

“Faustelaude interrupts me whenever I try to talk to you. I’ll just cut to the chase for now.”

“About 100 years ago, Itou Shizu-sama arrived and brought ‘rice’ to this country. The dried-out soil of our country was saved by ‘rice’ after five years of bad wheat harvest due to a series of natural disasters. Therefore, ‘rice’ is a holy food blessed by the saint.” 

“Yes.”

I guessed she was the one who had reformed agriculture here after all. 

She had sort of introduced rice cultivation to this country.

“Itou Shizu-sama did not say that you must eat white rice. That is why you usually eat flavored ‘rice’ dishes, don’t you?” 

“Yes. That’s right.”

Hmm? I felt like the mood had changed. 

If they were not continuing the custom that the saint had declared, then why was white rice compulsory?

“However, Itou Shizu-sama liked white ‘rice’.”

I had wondered if white rice was compulsory because the saint liked it. Wasn’t that a bit, um, weird? 

My thoughts must have shown on my face. 

His Holiness’ clear smile appeared on his face.

“Saints are kind-hearted maidens who are sent from the other world at the call of God. Itou Shizu-sama was here to give ‘rice’ to this land.” 

“…” 

“It is said that Itou Shizu-sama arrived in this land at the age of 13. A mere 13-year-old girl, just a kind-hearted girl, saved this land. Not a fierce warrior, not a sage of erudition, just the kindness of a girl. The maiden who was called to this place could not return to her homeland. She saved strangers in a strange land, where she did not know anyone, nor could she meet her parents. To thank her for her mercy and to bring our hearts closer together, I and the royal family are meant to eat white ‘rice’!”

I understood. So, that was why you ate ‘for the saint’s sake’. 

There was not a logical meaning to the act, but an emotional significance. 

I was sure neither the court lady nor any of the others knew the details that well. People were only aware that the food of His Holiness was white ‘rice’. 

That’s why His Holiness came all the way to see me.

For a 6-year-old child, who came from a foreign country and did not know much about the achievements of the saint.

“Theodore Medico.”

His Holiness’ blue eyes peered into mine again. Even through my glasses, he looked at me as if he could see all the deepest parts of me.

“Do you understand what I mean?” 

“Yes.” 

“Then, at the luncheon…” 

“With all due respect, Your Holiness!”

I respectfully interrupted His Holiness’ words. 

I had not given up on trying to find a loophole after hearing the reason. 

I was glad I had the memories of Japan in my heart. 

I knew of a culture that valued white rice. If she was someone from 100 years ago, she probably valued white ‘rice’ even more than I did. Because it was the food of our hometown.

“If it’s white ‘rice’, will you allow it?”

His Holiness’ eyes flickered at my bold action, and his white tail swayed.

“Yes.” 

“Is it okay as long as it looks white? Even if it is flavored?” 

“…It can’t be helped. I will allow it. I also don’t want my nephew to eat something he doesn’t like. It’s just difficult to keep the rice white when you try to add flavor to it.” 

“I will try my best. Thank you, Your Holiness.” 

“Is that so? Well, then, please work out something for Faustelaude.”

His Holiness smiled and patted my head. 

I was so happy that my cheeks became hot.

“Ahh! Uncle, don’t touch Theo!”

Just when the conversation was about to wrap up nicely, Faus jumped on me with a loud voice. Did he finish eating all the sandwiches already? 

Faus roughly shook off His Holiness’s hand that was placed on my head.

“Theo, your cheeks are all red. Even though it was supposed to be only for me!” 

“Faustelaude. You need to learn more self-control and manners.”

With a sigh, His Holiness overthrew Faus, who had cut in. 

Despite falling down, having been unable to resist the physical strength of the adult, Faus immediately got up.

“Uncle, even you aren’t allowed to do that. You can’t touch Theo.” 

“Yes, yes. Good grief, we, Serians are very obsessive. I look forward to our next luncheon.”

His Holiness left just as abruptly as he had appeared.

“Theo, Theo! Feed me raisins next.” 

“I understand, so don’t lick my fingers. Hehe. It is ticklish.”
