Mahoro

Oh, it's open... I wonder if someone's already here...

Mahoro

Natsume-chan...?

Natsume

Oh, Mahoro. Just who I needed. Give me a hand for a second.

Mahoro

Huh? You want help... taking selfies?

Natsume

Exactly. I need you to be my cameraman.

Natsume

My personal social media profile picture. I'm thinking of changing it.

Mahoro

Ah... I see. So that's what all those cool poses are for...

Natsume

By the way, didn't you bring your usual camera today?

Mahoro

My usual one... You mean my mirrorless camera?

Natsume

That one. You take pictures all the time at lives, don't you?

Mahoro

I don't bring it on school days.

Natsume

Oh, you didn't bring it. I was hoping you'd take some high-quality shots for me.

Mahoro

Sorry. It seems pretty expensive, and it'd be awful if it got damaged.

Natsume

Seems? What do you mean, "seems"? Didn't you buy it?

Mahoro

Nope. It was my dad's, and he handed it down to me. I couldn't afford one like it on my allowance~

Mahoro

But phone cameras are supposed to be amazing these days. For an icon, I think yours will do just fine.

Natsume

Really? Then... here. My phone. Pretend you're a professional cameraman and do your thing, please.

Mahoro

A professional...!?

Mahoro

(Still... It has a nice ring to it...!)

Mahoro

Ahem... So, what kind of picture are we taking today?

Natsume

Something cool.

Mahoro

Cool, got it~ How about we start with a profile shot? Do you want to use a filter?

Natsume

I'll figure out the colors later. First, I want the photo itself to look good.

Mahoro

I see~ Do you have a particular look in mind?

Natsume

No. But I hate anything generic.

Mahoro

Got it. Then maybe I'll get a little creative with the framing...

Mahoro

Oh... I've got it. What if I stretch up and take it from above...!

Natsume

Are you sure about this? You're wobbling.

Mahoro

I'm fine, I'm fine...! Okay, here goes... Whoa!?

Natsume

!?

Mahoro

Got it! That was close...!

Natsume

H-Hey... Are you okay?

Mahoro

Ahaha... Sorry, sorry. But look, your phone's safe!

Natsume

That's not what I meant... Whatever.

Mahoro

Huh...? It took a picture. Did I hit the button when I caught it?

Mahoro

Oh wow... It's completely blurry. Here, look.

Natsume

This picture...!

Natsume

This is perfect!

Mahoro

Huh!?

Natsume

The blur! The way the subject isn't properly in focus on purpose! It's artistic. And it's cool!

Mahoro

Oh... Um... Is it?

Natsume

Nice one, Mahoro! I've decided. This is going to be my icon.

Mahoro

O-Okay... If you like it, then I guess that's... good?
