==Dialogue==
;(Talk to Zhuchun, optional)
:Zhuchun: Heyo, friendo! You've been all over, I imagine you've had the pleasure of admiring quite a few sights in your time?
:Zhuchun: I wonder if the Chenyu Vale's spots for this contest will be able to top the ones you've experienced?
;(Talk to Mali, optional)
:Mali: My dear friend, are you here to participate in the photography contest as well?
:Mali: As a Fontainian photographer, one who's emerged from the Kamera's birthplace, let me offer you some advice: the purest essence of photography lies within the Kamera itself.
:Mali: Hence, I'd like to introduce you to someone. Back in my hometown, the Kameras he makes are beloved without exception. They come at reasonable prices, too, and I know just how to get my hands on one...
:Mali: Hey... Don't give me that uninterested look! I'll get you an extra discount!
:Mali: Hey... Don't leave!
;(Talk to Fangju)
:Fangju: Are you here to take part in the "Our Chenyu Vale Trek" scenic photography contest?
:Paimon: Scenic photography contest? What's that?
:Fangju: It's exactly as its name implies. It's a contest designed to promote the beautiful scenery of Chenyu Vale.
:Fangju: We previously surveyed the vale's residents to collect opinions regarding its most captivating scenic spots. Now, we're tasking contestants with going to and capturing images of said locations using their Kameras.
:Fangju: Lastly, we'll pick out a handful of exceptional ones to use as promotional examples, which will be exhibited on the street outside Hezhe Post. Well? How about it, you two?
: I'm a practical person. What prizes are up for grabs?
::Fangju: Of course there is. If your works are chosen, there'll be a special surprise just for you.
: Great. There's no one better at photography than I am.
::Fangju: You look like you just can't wait to begin snapping some shots. Allow me to add that if your works are chosen, there'll be a special surprise just for you.
:Paimon: Wow! A surprise!? We'd better give it our all, then!
:Fangju: Heh, we've still prepared a little reward for your time and effort even if your work isn't selected. We hope it'll be to your satisfaction.
: Where do I start?
:Fangju: Have a look at this guide. These are the residents' recommended scenic spots of Chenyu Vale.

:;(Obtain )
:Paimon: Huh? Why are some of the locations crossed out?
:Fangju: Heh, that's because those locations have been fully signed up for. We're hoping to provide a more comprehensive display of Chenyu Vale's beauty.
:Fangju: These four remaining locations are still available for registration. You can select one or more of them.
:Paimon: Paimon gets it now... , how about we sign up for all of the remaining locations?
:Paimon: If our chance of winning the prize is one in four, then we'd be guaranteed to win if we take four photos! This way, the surprise will be ours for sure!
: That's not how probability works.
::Paimon: Really? But isn't one quarter multiplied by four equal to one?
:: It is, but...
: Nice math.
:Paimon: Hehe! What are we waiting for, then? Let's get going! That surprise is ours for the taking!
;(Talk to Fangju again, optional)
:Fangju: I wish you all the best of luck.

;(Approach the marked area in Jademouth)
:Paimon: Whoa, see that? That thing's shape is like a huge circle with a big mouth. Is that why it's called the "Jademouth"? It is pretty spectacular, don't you think?
:Paimon: This is a good spot for our photo!

;(Approach the marked area in Qiaoying Village)
:Paimon: Look over there! There's a really weird bird. Aren't they called pelicans or something?
:Paimon: If we could take a photo of both it and Qiaoying Village, it would make for a pretty cool picture!
;(Approach Mingjing and the Redbill Pelican)
:Paimon: Is this pelican here yours, kid? Could we photograph it alongside Qiaoying Village?
:Mingjing: Hree hree! Hree hree anng anng hree hree!
:Paimon: Eh? What are you saying?
:Mingjing: It's pelican talk, which means "great, great!"
: You speak pelican?
:Mingjing: Only a little... because I noticed when they eat, they don't stop going "hree hree! Hree hree anng anng hree hree!"
:Mingjing: I'm sure they're happily saying that it's "great, great"!
:Mingjing: So I learned to call to them in that manner too. They come over as soon as they hear, probably because they think there's food.
:Mingjing: If you wanna photograph one, then maybe you could try calling out to one yourself! It's too bad I gotta get home now, otherwise, I could teach you some more!
:Paimon: No worries, kiddo! We'll try it ourselves! Thanks, and get home safely!
:Paimon: , let's give it a go over there! If we can attract a pelican, it'll increase our work's chances of success!
;(Interact with the marked area)
: Call for pelicans
:: "Anng anng! Hree hree anng anng hree hree!"
:::Paimon: That's not it! Paimon remembers it started with "Hree hree!" Hurry up and try again!
::;(Returns to selection and removes the dialogue option)
:: "Hree hree! Hree hree anng anng hree hree!"
:::Paimon: Wow, there's a pelican coming! Quick! Let's take a picture with it and Qiaoying Village!
::;(Finishes the dialogue)
:: "Quack quack, Paimon, quack quack."
:::Paimon: Ooh, is there anything tasty?
:::Paimon: ...Hey, stop messing around! Paimon remembers it starts with "Hree hree," now hurry up and try again!

;(Approach the marked area in Teatree Slope)
:Paimon: This should be the Lotus Pond by the Ancient Teatree King? Whaddaya know — just like the guidebook said, there are monsters!
;(Defeat the enemies)
:Paimon: Hehe, Paimon just knew these monsters were no match for you, !
:Paimon: Next, we need to find a good angle to take a photo of the Lotus Pond.

;(Approach the marked area in Mt. Xuanlian)
:Terrified Voice: Someone help me! Help!
:Paimon: Huh? Looks like someone calling for help! Let's go have a look!
;(After defeating the enemies)
:Akai: Hang on! Don't come any closer! Are you... are you good people?
:Paimon: Hey, we're the ones who saved you just now! Did you hit your head on something or...
:Akai: Ah! You're right... I'm really sorry about that. My "Chenyu Vale Trek" has been nothing but dizzyingly bad luck... Thank... you...
: So you're participating in the photography contest, too?
:Akai: You are as well? What a coincidence! I'm just an ordinary tourist, though... So I couldn't do anything about those hilichurls.
:Akai: I came across those louts on the road, and they captured and brought me back here without letting me get a word in lengthwise. Hilichurls don't also collect tolls, do they? Preposterous... Luckily, I ran into you guys.
:Paimon: Ah... Today was a tough day for you indeed.
:Akai: Not just today! Yesterday was terrible as well. I bought a rather expensive Kamera from a Fontaine merchant, but it broke after only a few uses. When I went back to find him, he was gone...
:Akai: What a shady guy... Be sure to keep an eye on your wallet while you're out and about!
:Akai: Ah, sorry. Got a little sidetracked there. Since you're also taking part in the competition, you must be here to photograph Mt. Xuanlian, correct?
:Akai: What say I share the best photography spot that I found around here with you as thanks? Here, I'll mark it on your map for you.
:Akai: You can see it from here. In fact, it's right over there!
:Paimon: Eh? What about you then? Aren't you participating in the contest as well?
:Akai: This area's rather dangerous, so it'd be best for me to switch things up. I remember the guide spoke of other locations... I think I should check out the Tea-Tasting Adeptus...
:Akai: Yeah! That sounds good. Goodbye, you two! Hopefully, things start turning out well for me now!
;(Approach the marked photography spot)
:Paimon: Wow! This is a great angle.
:Paimon: Time to take out the ol' Kamera!
;(Take the picture)

;(After obtaining all pictures)
:Paimon: Phew! Paimon took a look at the photos we've got: Qiaoying Village, the Lotus Pond, Jademouth, and Mt. Xuanlian! We've got 'em all!
:Paimon: There won't be any other participants as hardworking as us, will there? If we don't win a prize after all this, it'll be a total travesty!
;(Talk to Fangju)
:Fangju: Seeing how relaxed you look, I suppose you must be here to submit your photos. Just leave them with me.
:Fangju: Hmm, not bad at all. You must've put in a lot of work to capture such beautiful scenes. Well done.
:;(Submit , , , )
:Fangju: Hmm... these photos...
:Paimon: What's wrong? Are ours not good enough?
:Fangju: It's quite the opposite... I've seen some excellent submissions these past few days, but your works are refreshing all the same.
:Fangju: Let's take this shot of Qiaoying Village. The pelican adds a touch of liveliness to the tranquil village, contrasting stillness and movement... A one-of-a-kind approach, indeed.
:Fangju: If it were just up to me, your works would certainly be selected for use.
:Paimon: Wow! What a compliment! You're making Paimon blush a little.
: Blush? You're not the one who took these photos.
::Paimon: Paimon was just feeling flattered on your behalf! Paimon knows all about your modesty.
: I'm starting to feel a little embarrassed now too.
:Fangju: Well, in any case, our selection process will be completed before tomorrow morning.
:Fangju: From eight in the morning until six at night, we will exhibit the selected works on the street outside Hezhe Post.
:Fangju: Thank you for participating in the "Our Chenyu Vale Trek" scenic photography contest. Don't forget to come back around tomorrow!
:Paimon: You bet! We're not gonna miss out on the final surprise!
;(Talk to Fangju again, optional)
:Fangju: From eight in the morning until six at night, we will exhibit the selected works on the street outside Hezhe Post. Don't forget to come back around tomorrow!
----
;(Wait until 8:00 to 18:00 the next day)
;(Approach the marked area)
:Fangju: Ah, you've made it.
:Fangju: Have you seen the exhibited works? A total of eight works have been selected for this iteration of "Our Chenyu Vale Trek," and half of those are yours.
:Fangju: Congratulations!
:Paimon: Wow! That's awesome!
:Paimon: See, ? Paimon was right about getting four out of four! Paimon's math skills really are something!
: It's four out of eight, actually.
: Wow! Quite the mathematician, aren't we?
:Fangju: Heh, the judges also showed great appreciation for your other two works, much like I said yesterday.
:Fangju: And so, please take this limited edition "Our Chenyu Vale Trek" commemorative photo album. It features all of the contest's selected works. You have earned it.
:Paimon: This was the surprise? Ooh, it looks amazing!
:;(Opens "Our Chenyu Vale Trek" Album)
:Fangju: If it's alright with you, I also have some Mora for you. Please take it. I'd like to thank you again for participating, this time on a personal level.
:Fangju: This is my hometown, and you have forever captured the beauty of this place. These works will surely cause more people to fall in love with it.
:Fangju: Thank you.

;(Talk to Mali, optional)
:Mali: Uh-oh! That dupe from Inazuma is here as well. I'd better pretend I didn't notice him... Luckily, there's someone in between us, so he probably doesn't see me.
:Mali: Darn it, why are these scenery photos so captivating? I don't wanna leave this place yet...
;(Talk to Zhuchun, optional)
:Zhuchun: These photos were shot quite nicely. It's just a shame that the atmosphere around me seems rather off...
:Zhuchun: Maybe I should pick a different spot from which to appreciate them...
;(Talk to Akai, optional)
:Akai: There he is! That shady Fontaine merchant! Has my luck really begun to turn around!?
:Akai: I should just rush over and grab hold of him right now, but then I wouldn't be able to appreciate these charming photos of Chenyu Vale...
:Akai: No... I would just suffer further loss that way. I'd be better off doing so after viewing them, especially for my selected work...
