Agent Maria tried to keep her face stoic, but, she was somewhat troubled deep down by just how upset these people seemed by it. Yes, she was sure that many digimon were living here peacefully on Earth, why should they suffer through forced deportation just because there were some nasty ones?
She thought to the advice of the DATS Director who had first given her the information. He was something of a cold, ruthless man that cared little about how others felt, and that it was their job to "do the right thing" and keep digimon on their world, and leave Earth for humans, otherwise chaos would reign and the order of the world would collapse.
Both Noir and Blanc looked uncomfortable in this conversation too. Blanc kept her eyes down while Noir almost angrily ate her ramen.
"I'm sorry about that, but, there's little I can do about it." was all Maria could say to Naoko.
"Yeah, we all grow up watching all these shows and movies about those in power doing the right thing, but it doesn't exactly play out in real life now does it?" Noir spat suddenly. Maria and Blanc looked at her with surprise. It appeared she was actually in agreement with the angry spirit wielder. And she was.
She calmed herself as the other person pointed to Maria, who struggled to meet her gaze, but, with some effort, she managed to do so, maintaining a stoic expression.
"It isn't up to me or what I want." she said. "I'm an agent of the government, nothing more. I don't get to make decisions like that. If you want to change our policy... then prove the government wrong."
Blanc stared at her partner. Maria was actually giving them advice here.
"Prove to the people that digimon are not bad, prove that we can live in harmony... then DATS will have no choice but to disband."

"...Why is that?" Nereid asked Noir. It was a simple question true, and one that might not even be paid heed towards. Naoko looked to Otohime. "Getting angry at them isn't going to help a single thing here." She told the Spirit Wielder, almost absolutely positive none of this would actually get through to her, would it?
But she had to fucking -try.-
As much as she -hated- this? The agent had a point. If the government truly did think of the Digimon this way, then it was up to them to change it. "Calm the hell down and listen. She's trying to help us." ...When did she get so serious? Nereid glanced to Naoko, warily, before looking to Titania, who shook her head.
"...If I can ask. You're putting a...tremendous task on our shoulders. Do you really think we can do such a thing, Agent?"

BlackFairymon huffed. "Hah, the black lady knows what's up, those up in power rarely care about others besides themselves! It fucking sucks." She was still fuming, but the one person in the world she listens to besides her Teach was telling her to stay calm, so she was trying the darndest to stay calm. But it wasn't easy, seeing how this topic made her guts squirm! When Blanc spoke up, she listened, however. Prove the government humans and Digimon can coexist? A difficult thing to consider. Difficult for anyone besides Otohime. Her mind was too simple to consider anything difficult. She smirked. "What, that's all? Well, I can do that! I'm gonna kick ass and take names and show those assholes that Digimon are nice people!"

Noir noted Nereid's question, but, seeing as her outburst had served its purpose and had spurred Maria's next words, she simply uttered "...nevermind." and resumed eating her ramen.
Maria then turned to Naoko, glad that she understood. But she also had doubts about doing such a thing. Yes, it was a massive thing to override a government, especially one as entrenched and powerful as the government of Japan. But... this was also an unprecedented thing in human history.
"Remember, nothing like this has happened before." Maria advised her. "According to the government, publicly, you don't exist. Yet clearly you do. It would be a difficult thing to do, I admit, but, if I was in your position... I would make my presence known in a positive way, by means that the government can't control. I'd stop a crime, I'd save a person in peril, I... might even try to weave a narrative that digimon are good spirits brought to life, according to legend. It would be hard, yes. And I understand the pressure of this situation - do right and you win, do wrong and you lose badly. But for now, I'd also let as many others know this advice as possible, since I know you people here aren't the only ones in the know about digimon in Tokyo."
Maria then fell into silence, shocked at herself for doing that. Noir had successfully shamed her into doing what she thought was the right thing. But what would the consequences be? She would resume eating while the others took this in.

The agent spoke truth. This was, for all the reasons in the world, unheard of. But the things being said right now? ...They really were all they could do. Weave legends. Present the idea that they were good. All Naoko could do was look to the three (two and a half? She wasn't sure what to classify Kuwaga Mask as) Digimon that had accompanied her and wonder how she could possibly help in this.
"...Ryuko, what she said about the narrative, that sounds like something your teach would say, doesn't it? We should probably think a little on this. At least when we get the chance to." Would that suffice? Hopefully so. Nereid and Titania continued to remain otherwise silent.
"...So..." The disguised clam began. "If...If I'm understanding this right...We need to prove we're good. That we're not bad and we can be good." Titania then interjected. "Not just that, we need to make sure people stay safe. Whether they're aware of Digimon or not.." The fairy seemed to be taking the time to teach her kid. Naoko glanced to Maria and the twins. "Is there anything else you'd like to tell us...?"

BlackFairimon grinned at Maria's explanation. "Oi, lady, doing good is what I'm here for! I am GranKuwagaMask, the great hero, the protector of the innocent!" She got up and struck another tokusatsu pose, which made some passing grade schoolers stop and applaud. After a bit, she sat back down. "If proving to the government bastards there's good people among Digimonkind is what we gotta do, then ya can count on me! I'll kick the asses of any bastards so hard they're gonna gargle yesterday's breakfast again!" She grinned, and her lips moved as a small "Gross..." was heard from her throat.

Maria, Noir and Blanc finished the rest of their meals as the others thought about their proposal. Maria felt a little relieved as it seemed to be agreeable.
"I'm glad that you feel this way." Maria replied to the holosuited digimon. And the spirit wielder seemed to react the same, even entertaining some grade schoolers with her antics. Maria couldn't help but grin a little too.
Naoko then asked if there was any last things they should know. The DATS agent turned and spoke gently. "Nothing else, but simply be careful from now on. Let others know what we've talked about here. Take care with how you reveal digimon to the world. It can go pleasantly, or badly. You all seem like good people here. Yet if you make the world uncomfortable with your presence... it'd react badly."
This wasn't a threat, just a statement of reality. Maria would rather never have to arrest a tamer or be forced to combat a digimon on the streets of Tokyo, but if it came to that, she'd have no choice.
With that, as she finished her ramen, Maria stood up, as did her partners. With everything already paid for, she bowed in farewell to the group.
"I'll take my leave for now. Please enjoy the rest of your evening." she said. "Also, if you ever encounter someone from DATS, let them know that you're acquainted with Agent Maria, and I'll do my best to assist. Do you have any last things to discuss?"
If not, Maria, Blanc and Noir would leave the ramen bar, and proceed on their way, hopefully completing their task to the satisfaction of the commander.

This arguably went about as well as it could. It was ill tidings, to be sure, but at least they weren't going to get arrested or anything. At least...not yet. Naoko nodded her head a few times towards Maria as Titania and Nereid's small discussion concluded. They even gave Kuwaga Mask the applause that they felt she deserved.
"I don't have any further inquiries, ma'am." The tamer said, quite simply.
As the agent and the twin Digimon departed from the scene, Nereid found herself waving goodbye to the agent. "Goodbye, Miss Maria!" Naoko made sure to finish her meal. The digimon had long finished, but the girl had been distracted by her discussion with the agent. As she got up from her seat, she looked to Kuwaga Mask. "You, meet me at my place. Think we've got some things to discuss regarding this stuff."
She then walked off! Not very briskly, but Nereid and Titania did follow closely behind, with the former waving bye! "Bye, Miss Mask!"

All in all, this meeting went better than it could have. Otohime had a very fiery temper, something Jiro was well aware of. He was glad they were fused when this happened, as it allowed him to cool her down. BlackFairimon just nodded at the agents. "Yeah, yeah, we'll be careful, sure. But the world ain't gonna change if we don't make it at least a bit uncomfortable!" She got up and stretched. "But if that's what it takes to make sure the idiots in the government won't blanket ban Digimon, then i guess I can play along with your rules." And that was that for her. After the agent left, Naoko spoke to her. Something about a talk back at her place. Otohime's first reaction...was to let her shoulders slump. "Aw man, I'm in trouble, Nao's gonna give me like fifteen earful..." "Oh, I d-d-d-on't think so, it might be a more constructive talk!" "Yeah well if it's a talk about constructing stuff then I guess that's better!" "That's not what I mea-whoa!" And so, BlackFairymon strode down the alleys, finding a secluded one to de-digivolve. Not back to Otohime, she hurried to get to Nao's place.
