Chapter 9 : What is the landmark of the amusement park? (1)

Most theme parks have them.

That’s a large, beautiful castle that symbolizes the theme park, a spinning carousel.

And a thrilling roller coaster.

…The last one is still impossible with my drawing skills.

If I keep drawing hard, wouldn’t I be able to make a roller coaster eventually?

‘But the carousel and the castle are enough with my current skills.’

I spread my arms wide and shouted.

“That’s right! There has to be a castle! A majestic, grand, and incredibly cute castle!”

If I put the castle on the cliff,

I will be able to recognize it’s a theme park from afar.

Moreover, with just that appearance, I will be able to instill expectations and excitement in people!

As a rule, a castle in a theme park,

Is dream, hope, and fantasy itself!

“The theme park makes people excited just by looking at the roller coaster rails at a height, but more than that, the moment you see the large castle, you feel like you’ve entered a world of real dreams and fantasy!”

“…Um, that’s right.”

Ria nodded and smiled pleasantly.

I was also excited and raised my hand high.

“Moreover, moreover! We have to prepare a house where we will live, right?”

“Aah, that castle is Senior and my love nest♡”

“What are you talking about! I’m making a place to live in this world─!”

…

Doesn’t she listen to me at all?

Ria, with her cheeks flushed,

Was fully immersed in her imagination, with both hands clasped tightly.

I should build a fence while she is like that.

I sighed and took out the magic pen.

I drew a fence that would match the entrance.

The entrance was a black gothic style, so I have to make the fence with a similar feel!

A ribbon decoration in the center,

A heart on top,

And stars on each high pillar between the fences.

“Hooaa─. Ria, how is it?”

“Wow, it’s so cute♡”

“Although I want to make fences that are all different, but we still have a long way to go. Later, when we have more time, I’ll draw even more beautifully.”

“As expected of Senior, you have planned even the future perfectly♡”

I straightened my back with pride.

Now, after copying the fence,

All I have to do is place them with the newly purchased [This is not where you belong!] and the fence work is done.

I held the pen and copied it with [Copy, Stamp!]

As I used [Stamp!], the fences started to increase one by one.

“How is it? It’s cuter since there are more!”

“Wow, it is♡”

“Hehe.”

Ria clapped her hands with admiration.

I shrugged and finished copying.

Next—.

[This is not where you belong!] and place them!

“How is it?”

“Wouldn’t it be a little low?”

“Is that so?”

“It’s too high now, Senior. Ah, a little to the left.”

“Here?”

“No. The opposite direction.”

After numerous arguments, we somehow placed the fence.

I raised my arms and shouted.

“It’s done!”

“Senior, thank you for your hard work♡”

It was not entirely satisfactory,

But now, I decided to focus on things other than the fence.

Fences just have to block the intrusion,

And before the guests come, I have to check if it’s finally okay.

Ria massaged my shoulder and asked.

“Is it time to build the castle now?”

“That’s right! Now I’m really going to build the castle!”

My heart started pounding at the thought of building the castle.

If I build a large and beautiful castle.

It’s good for us living there,

People will also feel like they’ve come to a land of fantasy.

People will naturally gather, and the theme park’s popularity will go up!

“Uhu, with a little effort! Automatic promotion—!”

“Wow, that’s great, Senior♡”

“I should put a ribbon on top of the castle and make the stars sparkle, it would be perfect, right?”

As the specific planning came to mind, my tired body regained its vitality.

The designer’s soul, which was born inside me less than a day ago, made ideas flow out.

I held the pen again and drew lines in the air, starting to bring my ideas into reality.

“The castle has many pointy towers, right? I’ll build it on a cliff, but it has to be built high so it can be seen well from afar!”

“…Wow, really…. It will look amazing from afar.”

“Right!”

But did I make my ambition so high? I had a problem.

I grabbed my trembling right arm.

‘It’s harder to color than I thought.’

The castle was much larger and more complex than the fence or entrance.

It was exhausting for my arm to color the decorations on each tower and even the subtle details of the walls.

But if I paint this, the castle will be completed, so let’s do my best.

I grabbed the pen again and filled the castle with black, calming my trembling arm.

As time went by, my wrist became stiff,

My shoulders were as heavy as a stone.

But my will did not break.

I didn’t give up when I was chased by many monsters in the dungeon!

“……Gr, Graaaateeeeeeeee—!”

“Waaaa♡”

I shouted, filled with joy, looking at the completed castle painting.

“Become a castle!”

With my shout, the painting became an all-black castle.

Although it was only black, it looked decent in my eyes.

[Castle appears!]

Now all I have to do is adjust the size and place it in the middle of the cliff.

…It will really be noticeable from a distance.”

“Right!”

“But why is it all black?”

“Uung? Because the pen only comes out in black.”

Ria, who was thinking something, smiled and held out her index finger.

“Senior, would you like to shout that the color should change?”

“Uung? I wish the color would change—!”

And nothing happened.

Except for Ria blushing, covering her mouth with both hands…

I just blinked blankly.

“Ah, Senior is really innocent♡ Cute♡♡♡”

“…Are you making fun of me…?”

I narrowed my eyes and glared at Ria.

Ria poked my puffed-up cheeks with her finger and laughed.

“Hey, that’s not it♡”

“…You were making fun of me!”

“It’s a misunderstanding. There is a very slight intention♡”

Ria, who avoided my gaze, swirled her hair with her index finger and continued.

“That’s because you didn’t desperately wish for it. Now, put both hands together and wish with all your heart, and shout again♡”

‘Is it really effective?’

“Hey, I always say things that help Senior♡”

…Can I believe it?

I held my uneasy feeling and quietly put both my hands together.

I straightened my slightly hunched shoulders and made a very earnest expression.

“…I also want to use different colors besides black.”

Then.

I stared blankly at the notification window, frozen.

“It really came out?!”

“I told you, I only say things that help Senior♡”

“Riaaaaaa!”

“Senior, let me hug you—!”

“Uung! Do it!”

Ria immediately hugged me and buried her head in my shoulder.

I resisted the tickling and purchased [Colorfully Pretty!].

500 points? That’s fine!

This is the luxury of the rich!

But…

Too much hugging…

“Too long—!”

“Ah, Senior’s scent♡”

The tickling sensation came up every time Ria breathed.

My whole body was twitching…

In the end, unable to endure, I tapped Ria’s head.

“I have to build a castle!”

“That cute appearance♡”

“……Uuuu! Stop it!”

“…Yees.”

Ria, still disappointed, detached her head from my shoulder and made a sullen expression.

“This isn’t the time. Let’s go inside the castle and check! Ria, hands—!”

“Yes♡”

I held Ria’s hand tightly.

I entered the castle, humming a tune.

But…

Something was a little off.

Even though there were windows,

It felt like light was leaking into the castle in a strange way.

I glanced around, feeling uneasy.

There were holes, big and small, in various parts of the castle’s walls and ceiling.

Maybe those were places that I couldn’t paint while coloring, and it was realized like that.

‘…Am I drawing again?’

I forcibly convinced myself it wasn’t true and shook my head vigorously.

“Ah, no! It can’t be! It may be like that, but it might be blocked!”

I cast water magic because I didn’t want to admit the mistake.

Thunder roared and a flood of water came down.

-Swaaaaaaa-

Thanks to Ria using the protective magic, I didn’t get wet.

And the floor we were standing on was flooded.

“…Eh.”

“It’s good for ventilation since the wind comes in well♡”

“It’s not coming in! I don’t want to draw again—! Is there a way…”

When I was about to be frustrated by the terrible reality, the notification window popped up again.

[Would you like to strengthen Copy, Stamp!]

-Enhancement effect: The copied objects can be returned to their drawing state.

(Objects restored to the drawing state can be modified.)

If I do this, I don’t have to draw it again, right?

After immediately purchasing it, I copied the castle to test the enhanced feature.

The copied castle returned to a neat drawing state.

“Wow…. It really came out as I wished.

“That’s right♡”

“Can you make it easier to color as well? Please make coloring easy. Let me paint carefully so that the water doesn’t leak.”

Then, the notification window really appeared.

[Special Item: Would you like to purchase Fill Full!]

Wow, it appeared as if it was waiting.

But…

“If you were going to give it, you could have given it to me when I felt my arm was aching…”

“It’s because the kid is dumb, so you can’t understand unless you talk directly♡”

“Notification window?”

“No. The kid living there♡”

Ria laughed and pointed to the sky.

‘…To express something as living in the sky—.’

Ria’s smile was bright, but I was sweating.

I remembered the goddess who might be watching us from above.

“…Ria.”

“Yes, Senior♡”

“…Be careful not to get caught for blasphemy. Please, ok?”

“I will try♡”

…Okay?”

Ria readily agreed, but…

Looking at her eyes, it didn’t seem like she had any intention of improving.
