Minako was curious as to what Fuuka had in mind for her photo shoot. The Naganaki Shrine was certainly a quiet enough place that they could work in peace, so Fuuka clearly put thought into the location. Minako didn't have to wonder too long, as she saw the other girl waiting for her as she ascended the stairs to the shrine. Fuuka's face perked up at the sight of Minako, and she quickly walked up to her friend.
"There you are, Minako-chan. Thanks again for agreeing to do this, it really does mean a lot to me." Fuuka quickly said, still clearly nervous about something.
"What kind of leader would I be if I didn't help out my friends when they needed it?" Minako asked, still ready as ever. "So, what do you need me to do?"
Minako now knew that something was up; Fuuka's cheeks took on a slight red hue as she avoided eye contact with Minako. Fiddling with her camera, Fuuka quickly began to explain her idea.
"Well, I've never been happy with any of my photography. I mean, I get the technical aspects of it all, but I just can't manage to make anything decently artistic. So, I thought maybe I should try something new, something other than just landscapes and still life. I decided that maybe going way outside the box, I might find that artistic aspect I just can't find. So, well, uh... I need you to, er, disrobe." Fuuka explained, her cheeks reddening with every word and the final part of her monologue said so fast Minako practically didn't understand her.
"You want me to... disrobe? You mean, like, pose in my underwear?" Minako asked, feeling a little uncertain about agreeing to Fuuka's request earlier. Still, Minako wasn't one to go back on her word, and she did trust Fuuka.
"Not exactly, no." Fuuka said, still refusing to look anywhere but at her own shoes. "I mean all the way. I-I mean you won't be showing anything too private to the camera, we'll use strategic scenery to cover that! And I'll make sure your face doesn't appear in anything, nobody will ever know it's you!"
Minako really wanted to say no, the idea made her uneasy. Letting Fuuka photograph her naked? Out in a public place like the shrine? But Minako could see how much courage it took for Fuuka to even approach her about this idea, and Minako believed Fuuka's assurances that her identity and privates would be safe from the finished product. As much as she'd rather not, Minako's obligation to help her friends won through, and she found herself sighing in defeat.
"Don't worry, Fuuka-chan. I'll do it. But only for you, and nobody hears about this, right?" Minako asked, to which Fuuka replied with an energetic nod. "Alright. So, where are we starting this? And where can I put my clothes?"
"You can put your clothes in my bag. They'll be perfectly safe there." Fuuka said, gaining confidence from her friend's resolution to go through with her idea. "So, I've got two ideas. The first one is to have you posing at the shrine itself; you know, look like you're praying or making an offering. The other would be for us to use the playground equipment over there. There's plenty of stuff there you could hide yourself behind, so we could have some creative poses there."
Weighing her options while starting to disrobe, Minako considered Fuuka's advice. It would certainly be a memorable experience either way, so it really all came down to personal preference. Flipping a coin in her head, Minako decided she'd go ahead and head over to-
