A puzzled look spreads across Michael's face. He looks at the three of them, opens his mouth for a second and then closes it, putting his hands in his jacket pockets only for a slight breeze coming from the pocket to randomly occur and strange plastic feel in his hand. He then pulls it out and promptly looks with a shocked expression at the very device in the image as he then looks at the three and starts to talk to them with a confused voice, "I never had this thing before how did it end up in my pocket? Is this some sort of elaborate magic trick?". He then puts the device in his pocket and thinks to himself about these strange events and suddenly out of nowhere an idea hits him, if the device is a real thing maybe the creature is too. He would look to the three hopeful that any of them could explain what in the world is happening.

It seemed more surprises were yet to come and faster than Mandrake and his family expected as Michael put his hands in the pockets of his jacket. Then when he pulled out what appeared to be a digivice which understandably shocked him. Michael wasn't the only one who was shocked as Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe were staring at the small machine with equally puzzled looks. Sure digivices could seem to come out of nowhere with various factors involved but none of the digimon imagined one would appear in Michael's pocket after seeing an image of a digimon and a digivice on his phone. Then a thought hit Mandrake and it was 'Strange if the digivice is here then where is Michael's destined partner?'
When Michael asked about the digivice Mandrake said "I am afraid that I have no idea how that got in your pocket, Michael. Though I am a magician by trade this is not one of my tricks."
"Mandrake may be a clever magician but he is definitely not one to mess with people's pockets in any way." Lothar said confirming Mandrake's explanation while Circe seemed to be looking around. Was she looking for the digimon that was supposed to be Michael's partner or was it something else? With her it could be hard to tell.

Michael just sits on the ground for a moment processing how this all could have happened when suddenly out of a random electronic billboard on a building a small and unremarkable flash occurs and a small creature floats down gently onto his head. He then slowly touches the top of his head only to feel a fluffy ball of fur and he looks to the group quietly asking them, "What is on my head?". Seconds later his own question is answered as the creature jumps into his lap and his eyes widen in shock. He picks up the creature to see if it is real and indeed it is.
Michael looks at the three in front of him then back at the creature. He then says shakily, "I don't think it is gonna hurt me then since it just floated down onto my head and did nothing.". He pets the small creature before him. The creature then leans into the pets and even speaks up in a high pitched and wispy voice, "Hello I am Euri.".

Michael sat down on the ground as it seemed he was trying to process everything that had happened so Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe didn't interrupt him. Then both Mandrake and Circe's eyes widened as they sensed a presence that was definitely a digimon. Sure Mandrake's digimon senses were greatly dulled by the holosuit but the presence was close coming from above even. Mandrake looked up noticing the small flash occuring on the screen before a small digimon floated down landing on Michael's head. Though it was somewhat funny, Mandrake and his family kept there amusement to themselves.
Shortly after Michael asked what was on his head the small furry digimon landed on the teen's lap and introduced itself by the name of Euri. Then Circe said "So cute!" Mandrake looked down at his daughter and smiled as it seemed she wasn't alarmed by unknown in training digimon so she would likely also be fine around babies as well.

Michael just sits and continues to stare in awe asking in confusion, "So you are a real thing, but what exactly are you?" Which is followed by the small being before him responding joyfully, "I am a Digimon or Digital Monster though I am only a baby one.". Euri then makes a derpy face and turns around looking at three others exclaiming to them, "Hi I am Euri, this young man's partner!".
A growling sound then rises from Euri's lower part and he then asks, "Does anyone have food?". Michael finally gains his composure back and responds more calmly, "Not right now but I was going to get some food from a café around here, I could get you some too but you should hide in my hoodie if you follow me in.".
Michael then looks worriedly at the three he was talking to and asks them a question, "You don't seem to mind this very much, is this something you have seen before?".

Mandrake and his family watched as Michael stared in awe at the cute little digimon on him. Euri then explained that he was a digimon but just a baby one before making a goofy face and looked at Mandrake and his family before introducing himself to them. "Nice to meet you, Euri. I am Mandrake and with me is Lothar and our daughter Circe." Though Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe were unsure if Euri could sense that they were digimon none of them would say anything unless it came up. Most digimon just instinctively could tell if a digimon was nearby. Mandrake and Circe were an exception to this as they used their telepathy to sense if someone was a digimon or a human.
Then Euri's stomach began growling and he asked if anyone had any food. By then Michael suggested that Euri could hide in his hoodie if he followed him in. Then when Michael looked at Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe worriedly, Mandrake became concerned until Michael asked his question. "You could say that. You see Michael, my family and I aren't exactly human. We are digimon ourselves but Lothar and I have been using technology called holosuits to disguise ourselves as humans. As for Circe, she just looks really human in appearance. The only way you could tell if she wasn't human was to look under her cape."
"Uhm. That's not the only way. I have slightly longer canine fangs where I can channel venom." Circe quietly admitted catching Mandrake and Lothar by surprise as neither parent knew she had venomous fangs though knowing who her mother was it was a possibility.

Michael stares at the family of three before him with shock and rubs his eyes for a moment. He then puts Euri in his pocket telling him, "Stay there little guy I don't think you want to be drawing attention to yourself.". Euri then responds cheerfully, "Yes partner um what is your name again?". Michael then lets him know calmly, "You can just call me Michael or Mikey.". With this the small Pafumon settles in Michael's jacket pocket.
Michael then turns his focus back to the group he was talking to, "Look I am gonna need some explanations from someone, so how about we all go find a place to settle down and maybe even eat at?". His eyes are filled with curiosity. He looks around for a good café nearby and points to a nearby café, "Would you mind heading to the café over there?". He looks to the three of them hoping he is not overstepping boundaries.

Other than looking at the family of three with shock and rubbing his eyes it seemed Michael was taking learning that Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe were digimon like Euri pretty well since it could of been far worse. Then he placed the little Pafumon named Euri in his pocket so he wouldn't draw attention to himself. Then Euri asked Michael his name and the teen told him to call him Michael or Mikey. Apparently Euri was satisfied and settled in Michael's pocket.
"I understand that you want answers." Mandrake said and as Michael indicated a nearby café Mandrake then said "That café looks fine to me." Then the disguised Wizardmon looked at Lothar who was still holding his unfinished drink and Lothar nodded in agreement. Mandrake then finished his tea while feeling Circe tugging on his arm. Looking down at her he asked "What is it, Circe?"
"When we get to the café can I have another hot chocolate?" Circe politely asked and Mandrake nodded yes which made the timid and anxious girl smile. Looking around Circe spotted a café, pointed, and said "What about that one?"
Mandrake and Lothar looked at where Circe was pointing and Lothar said "That is where I got those drinks. That café has a maid theme to it."
Looking at Michael, Mandrake asked "So Michael, what do you think?"

Michael looks over and then looks back giving a short nod followed by him saying, "Yeah that place seems fine. I have never been to a themed place before but I have heard it is popular here in Japan.".
While he talks, the Pafumon Euri peeks his face out of the pocket followed with a happy voice , "Well then what are we waiting for, let's go to the food!". This makes Michael smile and he starts towards the maid themed café, expecting the rest to follow suite.
When Michael reaches the door of the café he stops and turns around checking the rest are with him and then looks down at Euri telling him quietly, "Don't be making sound or moving too much ok, others do not need to see you.". The small Pafumon smiled at him in response and goes deep into the jacket pocket as to stay away from sight the best he could.

When Michael was on board with that café choice Circe was practically bouncing at the thought of more hot chocolate but still kept ahold of Mandrake's hand as the group made their way to the café. The happiness Mandrake could see in the little one warmed his heart and made him smile. Soon the group made it to the outside of the café and Circe wasn't the only one excited at the concept as Euri was very eager as well.
Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe waited near Michael and Euri and Mandrake said "Well then let's find ourselves a table and figure out what to order from there." Sure Euri would have to stay out of sight but there were ways to get food to the little guy without being noticed. Maybe Euri would think of sitting where Michael could slip some food to the little Pafumon.
Entering the group looked around finding a table that could accommodate four people and a small digimon like Euri. Mandrake and Lothar sat down with Circe in between them. She seemed calm next to Mandrake in public and sitting like that gave the timid child more protection even though she hadn't completely opened up to Lothar. At least she seemed comfortable with him which was a relief for Mandrake.

Michael follows them to the table and sits at the last open seat and takes out his phone. He opens Google and looks up the café and quickly finds an online menu. He then discreetly with his other hand pulls out Euri from his pocket and places him on the table in front of him and in front of the phone screen. Michael then quietly asks him, "Hey little guy I need you to choose something on this menu that looks good.".
Euri nods and stares at the menu and gasps as Michael scrolls down exclaiming, "The menu moved.". Michael pats Euri and informs him quietly, "Yes it did, I dragged my finger on the screen making it move with my finger. Now that you know please try not to talk too much.". The fluffy Digimon nods and keeps watching before bumping his face on the screen when he sees what he wants. The screen pops up nutritional info on the dish which leads Michael to smile and respond to his choice, "A wanpaku sandwich for you then. It sure seems colorful, I think I will get that too.". Michael then closes Google and puts his phone away as well as grabbing Pafumon and safely putting him back in his pocket.
Michael looks back up to the other three and smiles, "This place sure has colorful food.".

When Michael sat down at the table at the last open seat, Mandrake, Lothar, and Circe watched him as he pulled out his phone apparently looking for the online menu before discreetly bringing Euri out of his pocket and placed the small digimon on the table before showing Euri the menu on the phone screen. When Euri seemed amazed that the menu moved as Michael dragged his finger on the screen both Mandrake and Lothar smiled at how cute and innocent Michael's little partner was. What was cutest was when Euri found out what looked appealing to him and the Pafumon bumped his face on the screen to indicate it.
Lothar then said "It sure does. When I was first here to get the drinks I noticed that."
Circe then tugged on Mandrake's arm catching the disguised Wizardmon's attention and when he looked at her, she asked "Can I have some wanpaku sandwhiches too? I wanna try some."
Mandrake smiled before he said "Yes you can have some of those sandwhiches and that hot chocolate if you want."
Soon a waitress came over to the table asking what they wanted and Mandrake ordered two trays of wanpaku sandwhiches for him and his family. He also ordered a green tea and a hot chocolate while Lothar ordered a latte for himself. Since his and Circe's appetites were small he and Circe would share one of the trays while Lothar would have the other. Then the waitress looked at Michael waiting for him to tell her what he wanted.

When the three had ordered Michael spoke up to order as well, "I will have a wanapaku sandwich meal with a mocha latté and an apple juice please.". He watches as she jots down each order and walk away swiftly before looking back to the three.
Michael then asks them, "So do you know why I have that weird device in my pocket and also Euri?". He waits patiently and slides his hand in his pocket gently patting the Digimon resting inside there. He then moments later pulls out his Digivice which upon closer inspection has colors often used to denote those of a higher class, sometimes even royalty, being royal blue on the body, dark purple buttons and a golden grip. A unique decal is on it right below the screen, a humor theatre mask. After taking it out he follows his previous question up, "And what even is this thing?".

Michael made his order for him and Euri and after the waitress jotted down everything she smiled and walked away. Then Michael asked if they knew why he had the weird divice in his pocket as well as Euri. Both Mandrake and Lothar didn't know how to answer him as the reasons could be many. As Michael pulled his digivice from his pocket Mandrake and Lothar took note of its appearance all the way down to the unique decal of a humor theatre mask before asking what it was.
"It's hard to say the reason you got that device or even why you were partnered with Euri. We don't know how humans are partnered with digimon or why it just seems to happen sometimes." Mandrake said after thinking about how to answer Michael. As for the device he had that Mandrake could answer and said "As for the device you have it is a digivice and it comes in different model types. You possess one of the ones commonly held by tamers."

Michael lets out a sigh and responds, "Can you at least tell me what a tamer is?". He sits there and pulls Euri back out who just sits on the table looking around at the surrounding area. As he waits the waitress had started back with the food and drink and Michael had quickly put Euri back.
Michael smiles as she hands the meals to everyone and tells her, "Thank you miss.". When the waitress finishes serving us she rushes back to finish other order deliveries. Michael pulls Euri back out and tells him, "Here is your food buddy.". Euri takes a bite out of part of the sandwich and his eyes sparkle with enthusiasm causing to exclaim while his mouth is full, "So yummy!". Michael smiles at the remark and starts eating the sandwich half that did not have a bite taken out of it. Michael also slides the apple juice to Euri who takes a sip and his expression brightens up with even more joy, "Wow this all tastes so good.".
