Volume 6 Chapter 3 Part 2

「…..*Nod* 」

Taking out a black tea set, Rikyuu filled a cup with a western grape wine from a bottle.

「Wait, that, that isn’t tea, right? 」

「This is Rikyuu’s way of making tea. Just sit silently and watch her at work, Sagara-san. 」

Rikyuu put the teacup filled with grape wine onto Yoshiharu’s hand, as though she was trying to say: 「let everyone drink it in turn」. She then tore a western bun into many pieces and distributed them, and even though she was silent the entire time, they could swear that they heard her saying「eat it」.

(Rikyuu didn’t say anything, yet why did the things that she wanted to say reach into everyone’s hearts?)

「Um… Is this… a mass, like that of the church? The grape wine symbolizing the Lord’s holy blood, and the bread symbolizing the Lord’s flesh? And the idea of everyone sharing it… yes, isn’t this exactly like a mass?
