Kai

Kai is an orphan and apprentice grey priest in Ehrenfest's temple, roughly around the same age as Gil.

Kai grew up in the orphanage and was part of a group of boys that spent most of their time together which also included Gil. Despite this he didn't have a high opinion of Gil, remarking at one point that Gil was probably chosen as the commoner blue shrine maiden's attendant, because he was the most useless grey robe in the temple.

Kai was one of the orphans that made up the first group of grey robes to leave the temple and go to the forest to forage and learn to make plant paper after Myne became the orphanage director.

He initially wondered out loud what paper-making was even good for. Since the orphans didn't know about money, Lutz eventually told them that it would help Myne get more food for them as an example.

On the way through the Lower City#lower city he and others reminesce about their hopes and first impressions of Myne and how much Gil changed in the short time since becoming her attendant. They also marvel at how much Myne had already helped them despite or maybe exactly because of being just a commoner.

He remarks that with Myne having so few attendents, it is likely that she will soon get more, which motivates many of the orphans to work extra hard and distinguish themselves for a chance to be chosen by her once this happens.
