 Let's see what Mr. Click and Whyte are beefing about today

---

Sounds like another shouting match coming from across the back door of Amber Hall... probably Mr. Click and Whyte at it again...

Booastrum District

(Idle)

Mr. Click: Rare photo! Click-click!

Whyte: Ehn... (I think I just saw something...)

(Talk to Mr. Click)

Whyte: Ehn-ne, ehn-ehn-ne! (Just now, passing through CCD Square, I think I spotted a "super rare" people-watching target from my list!)

Mr. Click: So why didn't you go talk to her?

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ehn... (Rumor has it she can single-handedly repel countless Ethereals. An ultra! Top-tier! Expert! Her presence was just too overwhelming... I got a little scared...)

She's the one I was looking for to take photos of!

She's already here this early?!

Whyte: Ehn-ne! Ehn-ehn-ne... (So it was you who arranged it, Ref! No wonder my luck's been so good today! When I passed by before, it was only Bangboo giving speeches...)

Whyte: Ehn-ne-ne? (Come on! Let's not keep her waiting! But... can I stay quiet for a bit?)

Mr. Click: Click-click-click! You're way too timid! You should come into the Hollows more often with Mr. Click and face the blazing flames spat out by Ethereals!

Mr. Click: Only by forging courage can you take better photos!

Let's go!

(Progress to "Talk to Sigrid and start filming")

Wait a moment.

 Ask Mr. Click and Whyte what today's competition is about

---

Ask Mr. Click and Whyte about today's competition — probably something like what to shoot, where to shoot, which Ethereal to blast... the usual.

Booastrum District

(Talk to Mr. Click again, after exiting dialogue)

Whyte: Ehn-ne! (C'mon, Ref, let's go "people watching"!)

Let's go!

Maybe later.

 Talk to Sigrid and start filming

---

Sigrid is ready for her shoot. Time to hit the shutter!

Booastrum District

(Idle)

Sigrid: So it was just a misunderstanding...

(Talk to Sigrid)

Sigrid: (‍WiseWiseText for Wise / BelleBelleText for Belle‍), you're here. It's still before our scheduled time. Thank you for your punctuality.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Why are you here so early?

Sigrid: Ah, please don't mind it. I came early because I had some official business... Did you happen to see any strange Bangboo around here?

Sigrid: Recently, I've received reports from several citizens about a Bangboo carrying a camera, frequently appearing in various areas of Booastrum. Its behavior is suspicious, and its actions are rather questionable.

I actually know him...

I'm not surprised at all that he got reported.

Whyte: Ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (I-I didn't mean it! Ref, I just go around collecting inspiration when you're not here... Please don't turn me into scrap!!!)

Mr. Click: Don't be scared! This brave inspector is just here to investigate! You're not some evil Ethereal, so you won't be punished!

Sigrid: Wait... is that the Bangboo? Hold on, did its camera just talk?

This is Mr. Click...

Sigrid: ...Oh well! I've already gotten used to seeing all kinds of absurd things around you.

Anyway, it was just a misunderstanding!

Sigrid: Since it's a misunderstanding, clearing it up is enough.

Sigrid: Is this the photo request you mentioned earlier? I'm ready—let's begin whenever you are.

Whyte: Ehn-ne! (Then let's go over there first!)

Let's take a photo!

(Open Photo Mode)

I need to prepare.

(Talk to Sigrid again, after exiting dialogue)

Sigrid: No need to rush. We'll start once you're ready.

I'm ready!

(Open Photo Mode)

Give me a moment.

(Photo requirements)

• Film Sigrid
• Use Poster Frame
• Use Shhh... Sticker

(After taking a photo that fulfills all photo requirements)

Sigrid: The image is sharp enough, and my posture remains steady with no loss of form... It looks more natural than I expected. Thank you. Your skills are impressive.

Sigrid: There's one more thing. The little Bangboo seemed a bit afraid when it saw me earlier. If I were to warn him, I'm afraid it might only make him more nervous.

Sigrid: Therefore, I'd like to ask you to remind him that when photographing other residents, he should follow Air Patrol regulations and never forget to ask for permission.

Sigrid: There was once a case where a resident photographed Researchboo raising its hands overhead, praying for good luck in its experiments, and turned it into a meme without permission. It unexpectedly went viral, and the Researchboo ended up "debuting" as a public figure.

That doesn't sound too bad, does it?

What were the consequences?

Sigrid: Unfortunately, its popularity was only short-lived.

Sigrid: When Researchboo tried to return to its job, it found it could no longer keep up with its peers. Now he's sitting at home, unemployed, passing empty days, clutching the tens of thousands of cold bottle caps he once earned.

...That's terrible!

Sigrid: ...Indeed. Well... Anyway, since then, the Air Patrol has issued relevant regulations to prevent such incidents from happening again. So please make sure to remind that Bangboo.

...That's awesome!

Sigrid: ...What? Ugh... Anyway, since then, the Air Patrol has issued relevant regulations to prevent such incidents from happening again. So please make sure to remind that Bangboo.

(Both chocies lead to the following)

I got this!

Sigrid: Thank you. We'll part here for now. Feel free to contact me whenever you need help.

 Talk to Mr. Click and Whyte

Now it's Mr. Click's time to shine. Go talk to him.

Booastrum District

(Idle)

Whyte: Ehn-ne-ne... (Phew... That's good...)

Mr. Click: Don't be scared!

(Talk to Mr. Click)

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne, ehn-ne-ne... (That scared the sparks out of me! I thought I was about to end up as a pile of Bangboo scraps!)

Make sure to follow the rules when taking photos!

Unauthorized photography may get you arrested!

Whyte: Ehn-ne ehn-ehn-ehn-ne! (If it means I can keep taking photos... I'll definitely be careful! Still, even though I got startled, this is a super-rare figure who can supposedly take on thousands of Ethereals alone!)

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne-ne! (I saw her with my own eyes! She even spoke! And I got a photo too! Totally worth it!)

Mr. Click: Now it's my turn—back to the dorms, final act! Today's the day! My energy is fully charged, and I'm ready to go!

Mr. Click: A grand finale to close out Roscaelifer's debut!

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne-ne! (A grand finale to close out Roscaelifer's debut!)

Let's go!

(Open event interface)

I need to get ready...

(Talk to Mr. Click again, after exiting dialogue)

Mr. Click: Ready, pumpkin? Let's go capture some killer battle highlights right now!

Let's go!

(Open event interface)

Maybe later.

 Head to the VR space for combat filming

---

Amber Hall rooms are equipped with VR gear. Jump into the VR space and get your combat shots fired up.

Booastrum District

(After completing Ingenious Mechanical Heart)

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (Amazing! The thrill of combat leaps right off the photo!)

Mr. Click: Six days of testing, complete! The upgraded me is flawless! More importantly, this challenge has convinced me that your passion for photography is every bit as strong as mine!

Mr. Click: Only skills forged through countless trials can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary!

Whyte: Ne, ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne! (Hehe, I'm not that amazing! It's all thanks to you, Ref! My people-watching journey has made more progress than ever before!)

Why do you enjoy watching people so much?

How did you get into watching people?

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne! Ne-ehn-ehn! (Hmm... I owe that to my guide! Though her interest isn't people-watching, it's Bangboo-watching.)

A people-watching guide?

Whyte, you actually have a teacher?

Whyte: Ehn-ne ehn-ne! Ehn-ne! (Not a teacher, just a human friend from when I was young! I mentioned her before. The secret to getting along with kids is something I learned from her!)

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ehn-ne-ne! (She's a huge Bangboo-watching fanatic! She always goes on about how "all humans will eventually fall in love with Bangboo! There's no creation more adorable or perfect than them!")

Whyte: Ne-ehn-ehn, ehn-ne! (The first camera I ever had was a gift from her. She's the best guide in the world—she made me realize that life is full of interesting things everywhere!)

Mr. Click: What a cute pumpkin! Where is she? I'd love to meet her!

Whyte: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne-ne! (I don't know... I haven't seen her in a very, very long time. The last time we met, she was still a child. She should be all grown up by now!)

Whyte: Ehn-ne... Ehn-ne-ne-ne? (She seems to have always been busy and exhausted after growing up... In the past, we could make up after a quarrel with just a lollipop. Later, even though we didn't really fight, we slowly lost contact. Could it be because she no longer likes Bangboo-watching?)

No, it's just because...

Mr. Click: I know! It's pretty common! When people get too busy, they become exhausted! Sheila's dad is busy too! His whole day is filled with work!

And then?

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne, ehn-ne! (Later, even though I was left on my own... whenever I go people-watching, I still remember what she said: "Every ordinary day is made up of countless unexpected encounters!")

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (People-watching is the act of waiting for chance encounters! I want to freeze those moments through photography—and pass on the charm of each instant to everyone, and every Bangboo!)

Whyte: Ehn-ne-ne... (If one day she could see it too, I hope she'll remember the joy of Bangboo-watching...)

For sure!

You're already a very skilled photographer.

Mr. Click: Don't worry, your photos are excellent. If that adorable human pumpkin could see you now and your pictures, she would be absolutely thrilled!

The little Bangboo in front of you becomes excited and full of anticipation from your praise. Its eyes reflect a pure sense of "love" for what it does.
Time can sometimes make people lose certain things... but some will always stay the same.

Some people treat what they love as the support of their lives, while others turn their passions into work, so every ordinary day echoes with joy.
Whether it is people-watching or Bangboo-watching... perhaps we are all, through encountering everything in the world, searching for the meaning of our own lives.

Whyte: Ehn-ne? (So... does that make us friends with a shared interest?)

Of course!

Mr. Click: Of course! And my pumpkin Sheila, too! If you ever come to Ridu, I'll introduce you to her!

Mr. Click: I'm sure you two will get along great!

---

Whyte: Ehn-ne-ehn-ne-ne? (Ref, Ref, who won our little match?)

Mr. Click: We've finally reached the most exciting part. Come on, Pumpkin, announce the result!

Since they already admire each other so much... why not let them announce the result themselves?
It'll either be a draw, or they'll spend the whole time praising each other!

Who do you think won?

Whyte: Ehn-ne! (It's me, of course!)

Mr. Click: That's obviously me!

...Huh?

Whyte: Ehn-ehn-ne-ne-ne, ehn, ne-ehn-ehn! (When it comes to photography, Mr. Click is just as good as I am! But unfortunately, he's too obsessed with combat! It's the people living in peaceful everyday life who are truly worth capturing!)

Whyte: Ehn-ne, ehn-ehn-ne, ehn-ne! (So overall, I still come out on top!)

Mr. Click: Whyte is skilled in photography! But the thrill of combat still surpasses the calmness of everyday life. He's good, but I'm even better!

Soon, the Bangboo and the camera fall into another rapid-fire debate, like a volley of cannon shots, so fast that no one else can even get a word in.
It all feels like we are back on the very first day... maybe that's just the persistence of a photographer.
