Kazuma stands outside the guild beneath its carved lintel, sealed vouchers and the mission reward secured. Evening light gilds the stonework and quiet street.
Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness emerge together. Megumin leans on her staff, Darkness plants herself in a dramatic armored stance, and the young adult receptionist joins them at the doorway in a neat guild costume.
Aqua
Everyone closer! I must stand where the magical light catches my finest angle, and the divine center of the photograph must remain obvious.
Megumin
I have unleashed the greatest spell in this region. Surely I may remain seated while history records my magnificence.
Darkness
I shall face the camera with steadfast resolve, displaying the dignity of a knight who endured overwhelming danger.
The receptionist props a borrowed image stone on the guild step and adjusts its glowing face. Aqua crowds the center, Megumin nearly sags, and Darkness angles her shield theatrically.
Guild Receptionist
The stone is ready. Kazuma, should I count to three, or would you prefer one final adjustment before we preserve the whole party together?
