After waiting for a few minutes and enjoying the Chocolate with Oats, Mr. Taka entered the café with two n and invited everyone to follow him.
They went to the 30th floor, where a photo studio was located. When they were in the elevator, Mr. Taka introduced everyone to each other, starting from StoneSword, Flexy, and RoninKnight to the newbie strears.
As everyone played Knight's Journey and followed the forum, they recognized Max as wall run guy when he was introduced.
Max also greeted them politely, understanding his position as the newest strear who hadn't stread for a week yet.
Naturally, the other's curiosity stayed at that, except for two people, Flexy and StoneSword.
The latter seed to glare at him for a second before. But when he looked at him again, the ponytailed man was smiling softly, like a kind person.
'Is it just my imagination?'
The forr seed to hold back his laughter for whatever reason, apologizing when Max looked at him strangely.
'And Flexy is just as strange as usual. I don't know what he's thinking.'
Before long, they arrived on the 30th floor, and Max was astounded by how large the studio was. When he heard about the photo studio, he imagined a corner where a white background stood surrounded by cara and flash equipnt.
However… This was like a real studio usually used to shoot a Hollywood film.
"It's huge…"
"Hahaha, it's quite small compared to a real studio." Mr. Taka answered Max with a soft smile.
He looked at the strears, from left to right, and clapped his hands.
"Everyone, please head to the fitting room. We have prepared a make-up artist for this occasion and will take your IRL photo in the best way possible. Of course, we also prepared the clothes, so please don't worry. It's located over there. As for the lady, she will be in the opposite room.
"Please follow the director's instructions for the photo shoot. He will be in charge here." Mr. Taka looked at a man in a hat sitting on an elevated chair in the distance. "Is there a question?"
Flexy relaxed his stance and said, "None, Mr. Taka. It's just like the usual, right?"
Nodding, Mr. Taka replied, "Yes. It's just like the usual photo shoot." He looked at his smartwatch and nodded again, "Now, I am afraid I must excuse myself. Please ask the director if there is still sothing you don't understand."
With that, Mr. Taka left the studio, and the strears began to move. There were 5 guys and 1 girl only. The distribution seed to be weird, but it was natural if seen from what ga they played.
While Knight's Journey could be called famous, it was, in the end, still a realistic ga about fights and wars. It wasn't the kind of ga that a girl enjoyed.
Maybe so, but certainly not the majority. They preferred sothing with magic or not too bloody.
Just as Mr. Taka said, there was already a make-up artist assigned for each person. Flexy kindly guided Max like a friend should, explaining what they would do in this photo session.
The RoninKnight and Madlad also listened to the orange-haired strear, as this would be the first program they attended.
Flexy was surprised that a veteran strear like RoninKnight had never attended an event like this. But Ronin explained that he had always refused before, as none of the programs was to his liking. But this… He said he could feel excitent from the event, so he joined.
StoneSword was already experienced in stuff like this, so he stayed silent and let the make-up artist do his job.
After the make-up finished and he changed clothes to what appeared to be a dark red suit, similar to a noble knight uniform used in the party, Max looked at the mirror and was surprised.
'They are pretty good.'
They managed to make him look dashing and elegant.
Just as he appreciated his appearance and was about to take a picture for his Punch profile picture, Flexy's loud voice rang from outside.
"Hey, Breeze. They started taking StoneSword's picture already. Don't just stand inside and let's go. It's your turn after ."
"Alright!" Max replied with a shout and heaved a sigh.
'Well… I can always ask Mr. Taka to send the result of the picture. Let's just get it done for now.'
When he joined the others, it was already Flexy's turn. He stood confidently under the flashlight and posed. Maybe because he was already a professional, it didn't take long for his turn to finish. The director gave an okay almost imdiately.
Following that, it was RoninKnight's turn. Unlike Flexy, he was a bit stiff under the cara. Thankfully, the director was experienced and could give a direction on how to pose.
Max silently listened to the advice and thought to himself.
'What should I do to pose? Should I do the usual folding arms and raising chin all e-sport players did back on Earth? Or should I pose like a model similar to Flexy?'
He shook his head.
'That would be boring. I guess I will try that if allowed.' He looked at the chair he sat on and grinned. An idea of a pose flashed in his mind.
It would look dumb and out of place, but it was sothing that he wanted to do at least once. He also trusted the photographer to be able to take his picture nicely.
"It's your turn, Breeze."
Flexy patted Max's shoulder and pushed him toward the flashlight. Nodding at his friend, Max walked toward the position while bringing the chair he sat on earlier, confusing the others, including the director and photographer.
However, he ignored their stares, set the chair in the middle of the white background, and asked.
"Can you take a dynamic pose? There is sothing I'd like to try if possible."
The director narrowed his eyes and nodded, "You have a minute."
That was a positive response. Hearing that, Max smiled and began to pose using the chair as a prop. He held the chair tightly and jumped high, passing the chair.
"Crazy guy!" Flexy exclaid loudly as he laughed rrily.
Yes, he tried to do a jumping pose to be different from the others.
