Achim (アヒム, Ahimu) is a gray priest originally from the Ehrenfest temple.
Alongside Egon, a fellow priest, Achim is assigned to spend a winter in Hasse teaching the local commoners how to interact with nobles. Later, he assists Rozemyne and her Gutenbergs in establishing new paper-making workshops in the provinces of Ehrenfest.
Story
After the former mayor of Hasse is executed for treason against the archduke,[1] Rozemyne is determined to educate the local commoners to prevent the same situation from occurring in the future.[2] She is especially worried about Richt, the new mayor, who seems to have little knowledge of noble euphemisms. (For example, he offers Rozemyne "sweet fruits and beautiful flowers" without realizing that the phrase refers to alcohol and prostitutes.[3])
In the autumn following Hasse's first year of punishment, she assigns the gray priests Achim and Egon to stay in the village over the winter and tutor them in language and etiquette.[4] She strictly warns the citizens of Hasse to treat them not as lowly orphans, but as her respected representatives.[5] While in Hasse, the priests are also tasked with gathering local folktales for "Operation Grimm," which Rozemyne plans to one day compile into a printed anthology.
Although Achim and Egon initially struggle to adjust to the unclean living conditions of Hasse's winter mansion and the rough table manners of the townspeople, they successfully complete their task and return to the temple the following spring.
When Rozemyne returns from her first term at the Royal Academy, she once again assigns Achim to travel to the provinces, this time as part of a team responsible for teaching the locals how to establish paper-making workshops. She also intends for him to restart work on Operation Grimm, which was postponed during her two years in the jureve.[6]
