Life In The Limelight : I Married A Gamer Girl-Chapter 13: I’ll Learn For You

Masako sat at the kitchen counter, tapping a pencil against her notepad, her golden eyes narrowed with determination. For the past week, she had been on a mission to teach herself how to cook. It wasn't that Kazuma ever complained about doing all the cooking—on the contrary, he always said he didn't mind. But Masako couldn't shake the feeling that she wanted to do something to lighten his load.

He was always there for her, supporting her every step of the way, and she wanted to show him how much she appreciated him. But her first few attempts had been... disastrous, to say the least. Her chocolate brown skin was speckled with tiny flour smudges from the mess she had made earlier, and her dark brown hair was tied up to keep it out of the way.

As she flipped through a recipe book Kazuma had left on the counter, she sighed. "Okay, Masako," she muttered to herself, "you can do this. It's just food. People do this every day."

The next few days were a whirlwind of trial and error. Masako spent hours experimenting in the kitchen, and while the results weren't always pretty—or edible—she refused to give up. By the end of the week, she managed to make a simple dish that was not only edible but surprisingly decent.

When she finally served it to Kazuma, her heart pounded in her chest as she watched him take the first bite. His light blue eyes widened in surprise, and he smiled. "Masako, this is really good," he said, his tone genuinely impressed.

Her golden eyes lit up, and a wave of relief washed over her. "Really? You're not just saying that, are you, dear?"

Kazuma shook his head, taking another bite. "I mean it. You've done great, sweetie."

Masako grinned, feeling a surge of pride. "Well, don't get used to it just yet. I've still got a lot to learn."

Over the next month, Masako kept honing her cooking skills, but she wanted to do something extra special—something that would surprise Kazuma and show him just how much she appreciated everything he did. That's when the idea struck her: she would prepare a themed dinner inspired by the world of Morin Rock.

She threw herself into the project with her usual enthusiasm, designing a menu based on foods and drinks from the game's world. She even decorated their dining room with props and designs inspired by the game's levels, including a table centerpiece modeled after one of the game's iconic stages. To top it all off, she put together costumes for both of them to wear, making the dinner feel like a true adventure.

When the day finally arrived, Masako greeted Kazuma at the door wearing her costume—a sleek outfit inspired by one of Morin Rock's characters. Her golden eyes sparkled with excitement as she took his hand. "Welcome to the world of Morin Rock, dear!" she announced, her voice filled with playful enthusiasm.

Kazuma blinked, momentarily stunned. His light blue eyes took in the transformation of their dining room. The decorations were intricate and immersive, and the table was set with dishes that looked like they had been plucked straight out of the game. The attention to detail was incredible, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Masako... you did all this?" he asked, his voice soft with amazement.

She nodded, a faint blush coloring her cheeks. "I wanted to do something special for you, dear. You're always working so hard, and you're always taking care of me... so I thought it was time I did something for you."

Kazuma's heart swelled as he took in the effort she had put into the dinner. She guided him to the table and helped him put on the costume she had prepared for him—a set of armor modeled after the game's protagonist. Once they were seated, Masako served the first dish, a colorful salad inspired by the game's forest levels.

As Kazuma took his first bite, he looked up at her with a smile. "This is amazing, Masako. You've outdone yourself."

Her golden eyes gleamed with pride. "I wanted to make tonight special for you, dear. You deserve it."

As the night went on, the two laughed and talked, reminiscing about their favorite moments from developing Morin Rock. The themed dinner turned into a celebration of their shared passion, and by the end of the night, Kazuma couldn't stop smiling.

When they finished their meal, Masako leaned across the table, resting her chin in her hands. "So... was it worth all the effort?" she asked, her tone playful but a little nervous.

Kazuma reached across the table, taking her hand in his. "Masako, this was one of the most thoughtful, incredible things anyone's ever done for me. You've made tonight unforgettable."

Her blush deepened, but she smiled brightly. "I'm glad, dear. I just wanted to show you how much I appreciate you."

Kazuma stood and walked around the table, pulling her into a warm hug. "You do that every day, sweetie. But this... this was something else. Thank you."

They ended the night cuddled up on the couch, still in their costumes, talking about everything they wanted to create in the future. The themed dinner wasn't just a celebration of their game—it was a testament to their love and partnership, the foundation of everything they built together.
