Indiscreet Maid's Talisman is an amulet that allows Maggie to understand all spoken and written languages, provided she takes a moment to concentrate on the pendant. The pendant, crafted from rose quartz and sculpted into the shape of a tongue, bears the image of a tower on between the tongue and upper lip. When activated, the amulet grants her the ability to decipher even the most obscure and forgotten tongues, unlocking secrets and hidden meanings. However, the power requires focus—without taking a moment to concentrate, the knowledge remains elusive, as if the languages are still shrouded in mystery.

"Today I woke up with a small weasel on my chest, and it wasn't just Kazarisu it was another Kamaitachi but brown and cream colored. After some introductions, she told me she had no name and had only been realized in the world. She mentioned she could 'feel' my power as if I radiated an attractive breeze, so she flew straight to me."
"She held no name, so I named her Saifu meaning 'wallet' or 'purse as she's been shown to whisk away items to some unknown wind pocket whenever she likes. She's even grown to just giving me things I've requested be held in her care, thinking it was the best way to repay me for letting her stay here."
"It's been about two months now, and I, Kazarisu, and Saifu have grown close. So much so that Saifu's started addressing me as 'father', and given that I see Kazarisu as my son, it's just a cute reminder that I have much more than myself to care for. I have a family now, and I'll do what I can to ensure their safety."
