Opening up my warehouse I check the item descriptions.

[Talent Upgrade Token]

[Upgrades the user's talent by one tier.]

…

"These are amazing" I whispered to Aoif.

"Nn… What'd you get?" Aoif sleepily said.

Still muzzled in the crevice of my neck Aoif hadn't even looked at the rewards she had gotten instead asking on mine.

"I got 3 rot aways, which will allow us to preserve food for longer than was possible with the rot constantly rotting our food."

"That's good, not amazing though, what else did you get?" Aoif asked, giving me puppy dog eyes. "The subordinate contract?"

"Unfortunately no, but I did get a research building blueprint and Talent Upgrade token"

"That's great but isn't your talent already the highest tier possible"

"Apparently not, it's still possible to upgrade my talent further."

"Really, how much more effective will it be!"

Aoif looked really excited and I couldn't blame her.

If my talent was upgraded further I might be able to grant her a better chance to actually see.

"I don't know yet" I responded, bringing out the token, "But we can find out now."

"Not now, I want to find out what I got too, if the stuff you got was so good"

…

"I got a Warehouse blueprint and two housing blueprints." Aoif reports to me giving me a little cheeky smile.

"That's great," I smile, "Do we have the materials to make it?" I turn my head, asking Tama, who had just walked back in from her slaughter.

"Also anything unusual happen out there"

"Nothing too important now" Tama replies.

Earlier(POV Mole guy)

[HOW THE FUCK!!]

[I know right, Dude, how the hell did Darwin get that many points.]

[If you guys had read the notifications you might have put two and two together and inferred that Darwin annihilated the enemies main force.]

[We know that dipshit, we were asking how he killed that many.]

[I saw the main force]

[What! Really?]

[What happened?]

[It was terrifying there were at least thousands of them. I even saw a dozen queens in the mix.]

[Did you see how they died?]

[Yeah, how did they die]

[I'm not clear but it looked like some of the Queen's throats were split. Then after that all the Worker Gauls just disappeared.]

[Did you see anything else?]

Just as I was typing how I saw the cutest kitsune gasp for air after killing all the Gaul workers, I was suddenly picked up the throat.

"Finish typing that and you die." An icy glare was directed toward me.

My heart leapt into my throat.

"Ye… yes Ma'am" I stutter out at the threat.

I was thrown at a tree.

There wasn't enough force to injure me but there was enough for me to feel the pain.

"Good, now dispel their worries. Know that I know what you are typing."

Going back to the chat log I see the constant messages asking for me to elaborate.

Rather than typing what I was going to write, I instead, under threat of death, type what the scary lady wants me to.

[I saw nothing else, sorry guys.]

[Suspicious… Suspicious.]

[Seriously guys I saw nothing else.]

[Didn't sound like you didn't see anything else.]

I close the chat after looking at the next few messages and abating them a bit more.

Looking back up at the woman that had threatened me I ask,

"You are Darwin's subordinate right?"

Cursing myself, I couldn't have just let the lady leave but had to interrupt her exit.

"Hmm" she hummed, "What of it."

"I.. I just wanted to know…" I stutter out.

"Well now you know, say anything and you die, I have your face and scent you will not survive."

With that final threat the Kitsune leaves.

…

Tama(POV)

Throughout the whole interaction I was conflicted.

On the one hand that human is part of my Lord's species but on the other he was going to expose my abilities.

How? I don't know but he was typing something to someone.

Walking through the door of the house I'm greeted by Darwin asking me something.

"That's great," Darwin smiled, "Do we have the materials to make it?" Darwin turned his head, asking me

"Also, was there anything unusual that happened while you were out there?" He continued.

"Nothing too important now" I reply.
