Ajimi has a minion!

Lil' Cook the Cupboard Rat

Ajimi is a character from the game Okami and is one of my favourite characters ♥️

They are the head chef in a place called Moon Cave - and you are set the small task of finding him his four secret ingredients so that he may create an appetiser for Orochi, an evil eight-headed demon and a major villain within the game.

"Owie! Owie! Owie! Hot stuff! Hey, sweetheart! Yeah, you! Get me out ofhere before I end up well-done! Owie! Owie! Owie"

-you help Ajimi out of the cooking pot-

"Phew... That was a close one, darling. I'm the fabulous head chef ofthis kitchen, by the way. No need for formalities. You can just call me Ajimi!"

"I was cooking with such tender loving care that I totally spaced outand almost cooked my own goose!"

-Tender loving care?-

"What an absolutely fabulous mask you have there, sweetheart. Say... Howwould you like to be my assistant!?"

-Assistant!? Oh, no I-

"I have to whip up a lip-smacking appetizer to whet Lord Orochi'sappetite before the time comes for the human sacrifice course. Please! I'llmake it worth your while!"

-Wait, wait! We, uh... didn't come here to help, you see. Oh, how shouldI put it...-

"Tsk, tsk! Never mind that! It's just that I've run into a wee bit of aproblem. I'm almost done, but alas! I've run out of my secret ingredients! Icould finish up without them... But then I wouldn't be putting my heart into mybeloved's meal!"

-Beloved? Well, I can relate to your obsession with detail. I mean,quality does suffer when you cut corners. All artists know that! Anyway, I'min, fruitcake!-
