Sylvio-niisan's Coloring
「Now then, shall I make the illustration and written representation of the pencils now?」
After returning to the mansion using Teleport, I shut myself inside my own room with the battle pencils.
Since Lyle and Lou already completed the base for the battle pencils, I will start making illustrations and representations on them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「First, divide them」
There’s the illustration part and the part where you write things like the damage dealt and skill.
Although it’s called battle pencils, these are a trial product that doesn’t serve as a pencil so I can use it as much as possible.
With a pencil, you have to think about sharpening so you can’t write the written representation until the bottom of the pencil.
Using the battle pencil I had in the past as a base model, I will use a pen to mark the boundaries on the pencils.
Once that’s done next is the illustrations.
But, making illustrations on these pentagonal and hexagonal pencils is quite difficult.
It will take quite a long time to draw seriously on them.
「Will it be fine to draw something simple like a slime in a hexagonal shape?」
If it’s a slime then I can draw it in a single stroke if I put my mind to it.
If anything, let’s draw this world’s monsters and animals as motifs.
I draw illustrations of slime, goblin, alkinoko, etc on each pencil.
It’s difficult to draw illustrations on the pencil’s top part but I can manage somehow with these pencils.
After I finish drawing the illustrations, next is the written representations.
『Body Blow 30 damage to ● types』
『10 damage to all types』
『Mushroom Spores 20 damage to all types』
I continue to write things like attack patterns and damage representations on each side of the pencils.
It’s a turn-based attack type of a game where it is assumed that you have 100 health points, so it should be like this www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I created 3 types of ●, ★, and ▲, and apply them to the pencils.
Since slime has a ● type, it will not receive any damage from ▲ and ★, except damage to ‘all types’. Every attack won’t always hit and the opponent attack will not always hit as well.
The aim is to make a battle pencil game even more exciting where there is an element of luck that can nullify certain things. Winning by dealing a lot of damage will make it a bit boring.
I’m not too familiar with the details of battle pencils from my previous life so there may be various things to nitpick, but I can just explore and find the game balance as I go along.
「Al, what are you doing?」
While I was absorbed in creating the battle pencils, Sylvio-niisan already entered my room unnoticed.
「Uwaa, oh, it’s Sylvio-niisan. When did you come in?」
「Just a while ago. I knocked on the door many times but there was no answer」
Sylvio-niisan wryly smiled while shrugging his shoulder.
It looks like I got so absorbed in the creation of battle pencils that I unintentionally blocked all the sounds around me.
「I wanted to re-read the book Al borrowed but, what are you doing now?」
「I’m making a toy that can be played indoors 」
「A toy? What kind of toy?」
Sylvio-niisan also seems to be hungry for some amusement, probably because of the life where we have to stay inside the mansion. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I tell him about the game called Battle Pencil since it seems like Sylvio-niisan is showing a strong interest.
「Hee, that sounds interesting! If it’s okay with you, can I color the illustrations?」
「Sylvio-niisan will? It’s fine, but it’s difficult since they are small and in hexagonal shape, you know?」
「Un, but I still want to try」
Hmm, Sylvio-niisan is showing more enthusiasm than expected.
I wonder if it’s his curiosity that makes him want to color it after seeing the cute illustration I draw?
I thought that it’d be fine even if I didn’t color it, but I would like it even more if it were colored.
It may be better to leave it to Sylvio-niisan since he seems relatively dexterous rather than leaving it to Eleonora-neesan.
「Okay. Then, please color these three. Make sure not to exceed the lines」
「Un. Okay. Thank you, Al!」
Sylvio-niisan looked happy as he left the room when I handed him the battle pencils with illustrations of slime, goblin, and alkinoko.
He’s probably returning to his room to prepare the coloring set and paint it in his room.
He originally wanted to retrieve the book in my room, but he seems to have completely forgotten about that.
Oh well, it’s not like it won’t be used anymore even if he makes a mistake let’s just wait for him to finish while not expecting too much.

「Al! I colored it!」
Around evening, Sylvio-niisan entered my room with the battle pencils.
I was surprised since I didn’t think he would finish and bring it to me in less than a day.
「Eh, you already colored it?」
「Un, it’s like this, what do you think?」
Sylvio-niisan shows me the battle pencils nervously.
There were the beautifully colored illustrations. The colors of slime, goblin, and alkinoko are faithfully reproduced to their real color. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The color doesn’t go beyond the line of the rough illustration I drew, and the shadows and highlights are clearly colored.
It’s one thing if it’s a coloring book, but to color it to such precision on the surface of the hexagonal pencils.
「Ho, how is it?」
「Sylvio-niisan, this is amazing. Honestly, I didn’t expect you to color them this beautifully」
「I also thought so, but it turned out like this unexpectedly. It seems like I’m not that bad at this kind of detailed work, am I?」
Sylvio-niisan replied with a wry smile listening to my clear compliment.
Honestly, the result exceeded my expectations. It was as if the monsters were given life by the colors.
To think that coloring the illustrations will change it this much.
「This is nice. It makes you feel attached to it when it’s colored, isn’t it」
「Un. It would be better to color the other parts aside from the illustrations as well. That way will make you want to play with it」
I’m of the same opinion as Sylvio-niisan.
I foolishly thought it was going to be a hassle and wouldn’t be needed to color it, but after seeing this I won’t be able to return to the monochrome battle pencils.
「But, it’ll be troubling if the paint peels off or the color smudges when you roll them if you apply too much paint」
「Then, why don’t we apply resin on them? To prevent the color from fading, like on those signboards 」
「Indeed, in that case even if you roll it around or get wet the paint will not peel off easily」
I actually don’t know what will happen but it should be worth a try.
Colors will add that much value to battle pencils.
If anything, it’s obvious that I want to play with a cool-looking toy anyway.
When I started talking about the colors of the whole battle pencils with Sylvio-niisan, he immediately stood up as if he couldn’t wait to do it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Okay then, I’m going to try the coating from earlier!」
「Un, I’ll leave it to you」
I actually wanted to play with the battle pencils without coloring, but Sylvio-niisan is showing this much motivation after all.
It would be best if we play it together after it has properly been painted and coated with resin.
As someone who is having someone else do it for me, I’d rather let them do it while they have the motivation. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
