Life In The Limelight : I Married A Gamer Girl-Chapter 6: Credit

The day of the massive gaming convention had arrived, and the atmosphere was electric. Kazuma and Masako walked hand-in-hand through the bustling halls, surrounded by the buzz of excited fans and developers from all over the world. Booths lined every corner, showcasing games big and small, while massive screens played trailers and demos to roaring applause. This was their biggest opportunity yet—a chance to present their games to a broader audience, to step into the spotlight they had always dreamed of.

Kazuma glanced at Masako, his eyes noticing the slight tension in her posture. Her eyes flicked around the crowd, her grip on his hand just a little tighter than usual. "You okay, sweetie?" he asked softly, his tone filled with concern.

Masako smiled up at him, her skin glowing under the convention lights. "I'm fine, dear," she said, though her voice wavered slightly. "Just... a lot of people, that's all."

Kazuma stopped walking and gently squeezed her hand, making her look up at him. "You don't have to push yourself, Masako. We're in this together, remember?"

Her golden eyes softened, and she nodded. "I know, dear. I'm just a little nervous, but I'll be fine once we're up there. Let's do this."

He gave her an encouraging smile, and the two continued toward the main stage where their presentation was set to take place. The large auditorium was packed with an audience of thousands, and the pressure was undeniable. Masako took a deep breath as they stepped backstage, clutching the notes she had meticulously prepared.

"Alright, you're up in five," a stagehand informed them.

Masako's heart raced as she peeked through the curtain, seeing the sea of faces waiting for their presentation. She had always been confident during their streams, but this... this was different. It was one thing to speak to a camera, but another entirely to stand in front of thousands of people, all eyes on her.

Kazuma noticed her hesitation and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Masako, you've got this. Everything you've worked so hard on—you're ready to show the world. And I'm right here if you need me."

She smiled at him, her golden eyes filled with gratitude. "Thanks, dear. I'll be okay."

Their names were called, and the two stepped onto the stage to a wave of applause. The massive screens behind them lit up with the title cards for Morin Rock and Spirit Walker, their upcoming games. Kazuma gave the crowd a confident wave, while Masako stepped up to the podium. Her hands gripped the edges tightly, and she cleared her throat, trying to steady her nerves.

"Good afternoon, everyone," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "We're so excited to be here today to share updates on our games, Morin Rock and Spirit Walker. These projects are incredibly special to us, and we can't wait to show you what we've been working on."

The crowd was attentive, but as Masako continued, her words started to falter. The sheer weight of all those eyes on her made her chest tighten, and her carefully prepared speech blurred in her mind. She paused, her golden eyes darting to Kazuma, panic flickering across her face.

Kazuma stepped forward without hesitation, his light blue eyes meeting hers with reassurance. "I've got you," he whispered, gently taking the microphone. Turning to the crowd, he smiled confidently. "As Masako was saying, we've been hard at work on Morin Rock, a fighting game inspired by the characters and world of Mori's Journey. Let me walk you through some of the new features."

He launched into the presentation seamlessly, showcasing the gameplay and mechanics they had developed together. Every time he described an idea or feature, he made sure to highlight Masako's contributions. "The character designs you're seeing? All thanks to Masako's incredible creativity. She's poured her heart into making each fighter unique and memorable," he said, gesturing toward the screen.

The crowd erupted in applause, and Masako's cheeks flushed with both embarrassment and pride. Kazuma continued to present with ease, transitioning into Spirit Walker and explaining the innovative puzzles and story elements. "Masako's narrative ideas have brought this game to life," he said. "She's created a world that's as challenging as it is beautiful."

The audience was captivated, and the chat on the live broadcast of the event lit up:

"Kazuma's such a pro!"

"He's giving Masako so much credit—I love this!"

"This couple is unbeatable."

"Masako, you're amazing too! Don't worry!"

By the time Kazuma wrapped up the presentation, the audience was on their feet, cheering and clapping. He turned to Masako, holding out his hand to her. She stepped forward, her nerves fading as she smiled at him. Taking his hand, she turned to the audience and bowed slightly. "Thank you so much for your support," she said, her voice stronger now. "We couldn't do this without all of you—and especially without each other."

The applause grew even louder, and the two exited the stage, their hearts racing. Backstage, Masako let out a shaky breath, her golden eyes shimmering with emotion. "Kazuma... thank you," she whispered. "I froze out there, but you saved me."

He smiled, pulling her into a hug. "We're a team, sweetie. I've got your back, just like you've always got mine."

As they walked out of the convention center later that evening, hand-in-hand, they were greeted by notifications on their phones. Clips of Kazuma stepping in during the presentation had already gone viral, with captions like:

"Kazuma carrying the presentation while hyping up Masako = ultimate couple goals."

"This is how you support your partner—take notes, everyone!"

"Masako and Kazuma prove once again they're the best duo in gaming."

Masako sighed, her cheeks turning pink. "We've gone viral again, haven't we?"

Kazuma chuckled, squeezing her hand. "Looks like it. But at least it's for a good reason."

She smiled, leaning against him as they walked. "As long as we keep creating together, I don't mind. Thank you for being my rock today, dear."

"And thank you for being my inspiration," he replied, his light blue eyes filled with love.

No matter how much attention their relationship garnered, one thing was certain: their bond, both as creators and as partners, would only grow stronger.
