1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores an executable program for causing a computer communicatively connected to an endoscope apparatus including a master endoscope and a slave endoscope to execute processing comprising:
acquiring a master endoscope image of a subject from the master endoscope;
acquiring a slave endoscope image of the subject from the slave endoscope; and
correcting a color tone of at least either one endoscope image of the master endoscope image and the slave endoscope image so as to reduce a difference in color tone between the master endoscope image and the slave endoscope image that have been acquired, wherein:
the slave endoscope is configured to protrude from a distal tip portion of the master endoscope, and
a color tone of at least either one endoscope image of the master endoscope image and the slave endoscope image is corrected based on the master endoscope image and the slave endoscope image that are acquired when a detection result indicating that the slave endoscope protrudes from the distal tip portion of the master endoscope is output from a detector provided at the distal tip portion of the master endoscope.
