A rumor is swirling among the Bangboo about a photography fanatic

Icon Commission Commission Description

The Bangboo superfan, photography enthusiast, and ordinary high school girl with a hefty stash of pocket money and even heftier worries about her final exams, Mei, is busy snapping pictures of Bangboo across New Eridu as part of a special photography project for Ridu Tour. And the legendary Proxy Phaethon is in the middle of doing a test shoot in order to become her assistant.
(Idle)
Mei: This angle isn't bad~
Mei: The little Bangboo is so cute~
(Talk to Mei outside the HIA Club)
Mei: Hey, you're blocking my camera.
Icon Dialogue Commission What are you taking photos of?
(Continue commission)
Icon Dialogue Talk Sorry, I'll move right away.
(Exit dialogue)

Mei: You're cute too, but I can't have you appear in my photos... because the star of my photo shoot today is that little Bangboo!
Mei: It has a round body, soft belly, short hands, and a gentle personality, and don't even mention the ne-ehn-ne sounds it makes. Plus it looks so serious and handsome when it's working. Bangboo are the greatest invention!
Icon Dialogue Talk You get it.
Mei: Oh? Are you a Bangboo enthusiast too? Any person who loves Bangboo can't possibly be a bad person!
Icon Dialogue Talk Bangboo are really cute!
Mei: You have good taste! Are you also a Bangboo enthusiast?
Icon Dialogue Talk I think Bangboo are kind of stupid.
Mei: Shush! Shush! The little Bangboo will be sad if it hears that! Its dorky appearance is just so cute!
Mei: Little Bangboo aren't just cute! Whether as family members or working in various industries, you can hear their ehn-ne sounds everywhere in New Eridu!
Mei: I can't imagine what New Eridu would be like without little Bangboo!
Mei: To record all the lively personas of the Bangboo living in New Eridu, I'm shooting photos for a special column called "The Bangboo of New Eridu!" If you like Bangboo, you can buy a copy of The Ridu Tour and take a look!
Icon Dialogue Talk I often read that magazine.
Icon Dialogue Talk That sounds interesting.
Mei: *sigh* ...Although I'm very motivated, I might have to stop taking photos of them.
Mei: The major crisis standing between Mei, a high school girl who loves Bangboo, and her photography dream is... the end-of-term exams for this school year!
Mei: I'm guessing you're already past that age? The age where you're troubled by things like having to give up your hobbies because of academic pressure.
Icon Dialogue Talk I understand how you feel.
Icon Dialogue Talk Adults have their own troubles too.
Mei: The deadline for the column is this week, but my parents signed me up for an after-school cram school, so I haven't been able to make the time to take photos of Bangboo everywhere in New Eridu!
Mei: If I can't find an assistant to take photos for me before it's too late, this rare hard-fought opportunity to take photos for the special column will probably...
Mei: I don't suppose the (‍handsome guyhandsome guy / pretty girlpretty girl‍) who's talking to me on the street is a photography pro who loves Bangboo? Such a miracle is unlikely, right?
Icon Dialogue Talk Humhum, a miracle has happened!
Icon Dialogue Talk How did you know I'm a photography pro?
Mei: Really? You're not just cute, but also have a talent for photography?
Mei: If you help me take the photos I need, then... I'll give you the pay I'll receive for doing the special column and my own pocket money!
(Mei draws an amount in the air. The high school students of today sure are well-off...)
Icon Dialogue Talk I'll... give it a try?
Icon Dialogue Talk Just leave it to me.
Mei: How about this? Can you take some photos of the subject I planned to take photos of today to show me how good you are at photography?
Mei: So, your task today is to take photos of the Securityboo managing traffic at Lumina Square! Yes, I'm talking about the one opposite us.
Mei: Come back and show me your photos once you're done. Your eyes tell me that your camera will definitely be able to capture the Bangboo's moments of glory!
(Idle)
Mei: Mmm! You feel like a reliable person!
(Talk to Mei again, optional)
Mei: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne... Do I look like a Bangboo? Go and take photos of the Securityboo!

Ask Securityboo for permission to take photos of it

Icon Commission Step Description

Ordinary high schooler Mei is also a photography enthusiast and a big fan of Bangboo. She has saved up a fair amount of pocket money and is now struggling with her final exams. Lately, she has been taking photos of Bangboo throughout New Eridu for a special photography project for Ridu Tour. Aiming to become her photography assistant, the legendary Proxy, Phaethon, is now taking some test photos.
(Idle)
Working Securityboo: Uhn-na-ehn-ne! (Please use the crosswalk and cross the road in an orderly manner!)
(Talk to Working Securityboo)
Working Securityboo: Ehn-ne! Ehn-na ne! Ahn ne-ehn-na! (Pay attention to the traffic lights! Be careful of moving vehicles! Ma'am, I'll help you across!)
Frail Old Lady: What are you ehn-ne-ing about, young fellow?
Icon Dialogue Talk He's saying he'll help you get across.
Frail Old Lady: Thanks, child.
Icon Dialogue Talk Let me help you, too.
Frail Old Lady: Thanks a lot, you two.
Working Securityboo: Ehn-ne, ehn nu-nuh! (I'm not a child!)
You help the old lady cross the road with the Securityboo.
Working Securityboo: Ehn-ne? Ehn-ne-na! (You want to take a photo of me while I'm working? No problem!)
Working Securityboo: Un-ne ne... Ehn-na ehn ne... (But don't write anything false about me... Last time, someone used a photo of a PubSec Bangboo to fabricate a fake news story titled "Bangboo Bullies Three-Year-Old," when it was actually just comforting the lost child.)
Working Securityboo: Ehn-na-na! (But I think you're a good person, so please feel free to take photos!)

Take a photo of Securityboo at work

(Idle)
Working Securityboo: Ehn-un-ehn! (Don't cross when it's a red light!)
(Take a photo)

Deliver the photos to Mei

(Idle)
Mei: I can't wait to see your photos!
(Talk to Mei)
Mei: Oh, you're back already? Let me see your photos...
Mei: Hmm... mmm...
Mei: The Securityboo looks so cool while managing traffic! You managed to capture its waving hands so well, and the atmosphere is amazing with the crowd in the background!
Icon Dialogue Talk Not bad, huh?
Icon Dialogue Talk I told you I'm good.
Mei: I'm so touched... With my plan and your photography skills, I can already imagine the sensation this issue of "The Bangboo of New Eridu" will cause among Bangboo enthusiasts!
Mei: We might even become the bestseller of The Ridu Tour for this quarter, hehe~
Mei: I formally invite you to be my photographer for this special Bangboo article!
Mei: I'll keep you updated once I plan what we need to take photos of next and decide on the theme of the next shoot!
Mei: Let's meet here again next time. You'll be able to find me here in the afternoon after school! See you later!
