“Let me make them fully colored again.”

“No! I am so used to the black castle that I like it! Instead, I’ll create colorful decorations around the castle. I’ll put a big star on top!”

Ria, who had turned her gaze, clasped her hands and her eyes lit up.

“A black castle with colorful decorations… Senior, you have the best taste♡”

“Hehe─. It will definitely have a luxurious yet cute feeling!”

Furthermore…

I can use color now!

“Waaa! Finally, escape from the black color!”

“Congratulations, Senior♡”

Cuteness and black are somehow far apart, so it’s a shame.

I painted the exterior of the castle, my masterpiece, completely black,

It didn’t come out as beautifully as I thought.

Of course, I will make up for it by adding gorgeous decorations.

It can be that the results are much better than I thought.

“Hehet, now I feel like designing!”

Pink, a bright shade, would be good for the ribbon,

Sky blue for the star decoration, a little special?

Just thinking about it made my body twitch.

“Goooa! [Colorfully Pretty!] please with a very pretty pink color!”

However, as if my excitement was embarrassing,

[Colorfully Pretty!] didn’t respond at all.

I tried to draw it in the air, but only the color black came out.

…Am I scammed?

I shouted pink again, but only an echo of ‘Pink—’ came back.

I opened the status window to see what was wrong.

ᆞDetailed Features

1. RGB mode: Implement the desired color by entering the RGB values.

2. HEX mode: Implement the desired color with a HEX code.

……I understand RGB, but what is HEX again?

For me, who has a congenital aversion to the alphabet, the more I looked, the more my body shuddered.

Maybe Ria knows?

“Ria, do you know what RGB and HEX are?”

“Um? Are they new destruction magic?”

Yup. She’s hopeless, too.

Shall we try one by one?

RGB, which I at least know what it is.

“Uung, would this work? RGB mode!”

Only then, [Colorfully Pretty!], which had been unresponsive, was activated.

However…

It was very simple, only this floating in front of my eyes.

R:

G:

B:

I’m sorry for not studying in school for my whole life.

…I did wrong, wouldn’t you give me a little hint?

“How can I fill three things to begin with… If I use the red, green, and blue order, will I get a bonus benefit?”

“I wonder?”

At that moment, a notification window popped up.

[Would you like to strengthen Colorfully Pretty!]

-Strengthening effect: You can see the minimum and maximum values of the RGB mode.

ᆞPurchase cost: 100 Points

This goddamn scalping!

This tiresome commercialism!

Even though I have plenty of points, fatigue came over me.

I grabbed my throbbing forehead automatically.

“What’s wrong, Senior?”

“…I feel like even being a blasphemy wouldn’t be karma.”

“I wasn’t wrong♡”

Before buying it, maybe HEX is easier, so let’s start with that.

“HEX mode!”

However, this side was even worse.

…Do what, tell me!

As soon as I thought that, the strengthening notification window for minimum and maximum values popped up as well.

I sighed deeply and turned off the HEX mode.

“…Ugh, okay. I will buy something that I knew a little bit… RGB enhancement!”

Along with the enhancement, detailed explanations were added to the status window.

RGB mode description:

R (Red): 0~255

G (Green): 0~255

B (Blue): 0~255

It’s strange. Why don’t I understand?

The moment I thought that, the tiresome commercialism raised its head again.

[Would you like to enhance Colorfully Pretty!]

-Strengthening effect: You can see a color preview of the RGB mode.

• Purchase cost: 1000 points

……This is the most expensive one of the functions I bought.

I bought it since I had plenty of points.

I adjusted the numbers one by one, and the color of the preview window changed in real-time.

But…

Even though I could see the color, the way to change it was too inconvenient.

“It would be nice if I could change colors more easily and conveniently…”

Then, the notification windows started popping up, as if they were waiting.

[Colorfully Pretty! – Enhancement: Would you like to buy change the saturation?]

[Colorfully Pretty! – Enhancement: Would you like to buy change the brightness?]

[Colorfully Pretty! – Enhancement: Would you like to buy change the hue?]

They planned it.

They made up their mind to take advantage of this.

I sighed at the long sigh while turning off the notification windows one by one.

“…Ria.”

“Yes, Senior♡”

“…If I live a good life, can I see the goddess again?”

“Maybe?”

“…If you see the goddess before me, won’t you hit her for me?”

Ria blinked for a moment,

Then, she nodded with a bright smile.

“I understand, Senior♡ But, will one hit be enough? I have to hit two times…”

“Nooo, just one hit… and softly…”

I shook my head, imagining Ria’s fist.

This guy is surprisingly strong.

“Ugh, I will just have to do it manually. It’s not like predicting the lottery number… 255, 244, 200!”

This is similar to light yellow.

This is a completely deep green.

This is…

While creating notes and pens with a magic pen and working hard…

[Would you like to enhance Colorfully Pretty!]

• Enhancement effect: RGB mode can save color.

ᆞ Purchase cost: 200 points (100 points for 5 slots)

…Did I meet a devil, not the goddess?

“Hey, Ria.”

“Yes?”

“…Hit her two times. With all your power.”

“Yes♡”

Then, the notification window shook-.

[Please purchase the Colorfully Pretty! of the integrated package!]

• Purchase cost: 3000 points

Why does this word come to mind.

Sometimes, a fist is closer than the law…

I sighed and clicked purchase.

Then, the notification window, which said that all the functions of [Colorfully Pretty!] had been unlocked, appeared.

Like asking to be saved…

…Yes. It is said not to hate sin, but not to hate people.’

I sighed and said.

“Ria, please hit her gently just once.”

“…Too bad.”

I started to decorate the castle, turning off the notification window that was shaking.

First, I painted the castle black with [Fill Full!]

Then, hearts, stars, ribbons, and even sparkling light bulbs!

Colorful colors were added one by one above the black castle walls, creating a gorgeous atmosphere.

Finally, when I decorated a large sky-blue star on top—!

“Hooa—! Now it’s really over!”

“It’s really great, Senior♡ It’s a perfect landmark for the theme park.”

“Hehe─. Maybe I have a talent for art.”

“I guess♡”

I was proud of the work.

The colorful decorations that are shining above the black castle wall,

And the big star that is at the top. It made the masterpiece.

“Alright, become the real castle!”

After placing the castle, I went inside.

Unlike before, no light came in except for the windows.

Even if I use the water magic, it is fine─!

“It’s a success, Ria!”

“Wow♡ But Senior.”

“Uung?”

“How are you going to design the interior?”

“…011.”

•I didn’t think about that.

I lowered my head and fidgeted with my fingers.

Ria smiled brightly and snapped her finger.

“Leave it to me♡”

“Huh?”

“The interior of the castle is our house, not a theme park. So I’ll take care of the place where we will live♡”

Come to think of it, Ria can use simple production magic, too.

If Ria takes charge of the cliff side, I can focus only on the theme park.

“Uung! Then, I’ll leave it to you!”

“Leave it to me♡”

“Now I have to draw a carousel!”

“Good luck, Senior♡”

After Ria’s encouragement, I went outside the castle.

“How should I design the carousel….”

I started to tap the ground with the tip of the pen and started to worry.

First of all, the horse was set for a unicorn.

There are usually carriages in the carousel, but I don’t think it’s necessary for my carousel.

I don’t have the skills yet.

“I’m going to make a giant carousel full of unicorns!”

The problem is the appearance of the carousel…

It usually looks like a circus.

Or does it look like a castle with many mirrors and sparkly ones?

Isn’t it one of the two?

“Uuung, the latter looks beautiful, but I think it’s difficult to draw.”

The easy one is what I have to draw.

If I make the roof color gorgeous, the circus side can look much more elegant.

First…

Draw a round base.

Also, draw the center pillar.

After drawing a tent.

Place the unicorns one by one…

“…Huh?”

An unexpected problem occurred.

I wanted to place at least 32 or more unicorns,

But I can’t place that many because of my drawing skills.

Furthermore, I have to draw the unicorns differently by angle…

“……Uu, it’s impossible with my drawing skill! Ei, the prototype first! Become the carousel!”

The carousel I drew shone.

The carousel that appeared after…

It was not the elegant carousel I dreamed of, but a somewhat distorted structure.

The tent was crooked and crushed,

And the center pillar was too slender to bear the weight.

And the unicorns…

I did my best to imagine the 360 degrees of the horse,

If the side is, but the front and back…

I tried to activate it just in case,

It turns, but it made a squeaking sound and wobbled. It looks like it will break soon.

‘…What do I do?’

I dropped my head, looking at the carousel that collapsed.

Hubert was seized with despair and unspeakable terror.

In the peaceful forest,

A black swamp, unpleasantly sticky, was spread everywhere.

Hubert frowned and looked around.

A huge, but unspeakably grotesque structure was erected on the border of the Sanctuary.

‘…Is that the door?’

It was only after a long time of observation that he could barely grasp that it was the door,

Its shape was so horrible and terrible that he couldn’t even imagine it.

The door made entirely of black fences.

At the end of the fence was a heart pierced by sharp spears,

The black liquid flowing from the heart fell to the ground and covered the area with a sticky swamp.

The smiling face engraved on the door was full of eerie and distorted madness.

As if laughing at him, as if he could escape from this swamp.

The sooty stuff on the floor was attached to the fence,

It multiplied and reproduced, but he couldn’t know it.

“…Mu, must run away.”

Hubert reluctantly removed his motionless legs and backed away.

At that moment—.

A huge grotesque shadow appeared on the cliff.

His heart pounded.

His entire body was frozen for a moment.

Something that was like thorns,

Or like black flames,

Exuded a feeling of ominousness that something terrible would appear any moment.

The castle built to give dreams and hopes, and to create fantasies,

Came to Hubert as nightmares, despair, and cruel reality.

Hubert swallowed hard.

Why?

Suddenly, the story of the ‘Black Calamity’ that he had heard in the past came to mind.

‘The prophecy of Elysium, which was regarded as a joke…’

Hubert turned his back on the Sanctuary and ran like crazy.

To inform the village that a disaster had occurred.
