"Wow!!"
Without a chance to loosen up, Gunpei, instantly annihilated by the laser from the huge boss, clenched the lever and scread.
And after the screen briefly turned white, the building in the center collapsed as the boss monster appeared.
The monster, almost the size of a building, resembled the Buddhist deity, Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara.
"Whoa!! What's that!?"
Do you happen to recall a ga called 'The Chronicles of the Western Ports' from the arcade back in the day? So arcades even had the English version of the ga titled 'China Gate' on rotation.
The Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara that just appeared was inspired by that ga.
Though the scale was imnse...
As soon as it appeared, it started shooting danmaku in all directions, floating through the air skillfully.
Then it happened. Alongside the boss's appearance, Bombmaster Roy, who had been hidden until then, finally revealed himself.
Unable to use his special skill 'Concealnt' against a boss-level monster, Bombmaster Roy skillfully led the play, dismantling his skill and swiftly running to the outskirts of the stage.
Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara, while chasing after Roy nearby, started setting off all the bombs he had planted, causing significant damage.
The four of us left on the stage began using our ranged bullet patterns to suppress Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara.
At that mont, the ga's nature smoothly shifted from a brawl action to a shooting ga.
Characters who were just now fiercely battling against each other now unitedly fired shots at the common enemy, echoing among the gathered crowd in the hall.
"Wow... This scale is amazing."
"I've never seen a ga like this..."
"Ah~ The demo station's empty, can't I give it a try too?"
I dodged the lasers Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara shot my way and, in dire monts, utilized the counter barrier to redirect the bullets it fired.
"Just a bit more...!!"
Gradually, the murmurs from users around began to fade, everyone focusing on the screen hanging from the ceiling.
The two Potenkings, despite their slow movent, relentlessly stuck to Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara, throwing punches. The monster's body started to crack and shards began falling off.
Kwaaang!! Roy, while fleeing from the boss monster, continued to shower it with bombs.
"Now's the ti!!"
I flicked the lever forward twice, initiating a dash towards Hwirin. With a forceful push off the building's edge, I attempted a powerful jump.
Hwirin, teetering on top of Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara's head, began firing wildly at it.
As the gentle Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara's face peeled off, its grotesque form was revealed, and I sensed the boss monster's remaining health was not much.
Swoosh~!! Finally, Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara's skull shattered, and items scattered across the stage.
"Recovery!! Where are the recovery items!?"
Drawing a green line, I swiftly moved my character towards the flying jewels.
As Thousand-Ard Avalokiteshvara crumbled, the ga switched back to a one-on-one showdown among the four players. With my health restored to 140%, I readied my sniper rifle towards Roy, attempting to hide again.
Utilizing the power of the ring on my finger to summon weapons freely, Hwirin's ability changed the weapon depending on each command.
Ka-aang!! Just as Roy attempted to cloak himself, he suffered damage from an unexpected long-range shot, falling below the railing where Yuki's Potenking was waiting.
At that mont, I shouted to the girl beside .
"Now's the ti!!"
"Yes!!"
With only 21% of Yuki's health left after surviving the boss, she cast her ultimate move towards the falling Roy.
Alongside the activation of Potenking's cut-in, raising the switch on the gauntlet loaded with bombs, Roy's fate was sealed.
"Whoa... Incredible."
With the toughest opponent gone, only the demonstration player's Potenking remained. However, they weren't an easy opponent either.
Barely surviving until the ga's end, Gunpei, who had lost his life at the start of the battle, finally regained his composure, holding the microphone with a bewildered expression.
"Oh, please give a big round of applause to Mr. Junhyuk and Ms. Ishikawa, who showcased the ultimate teamwork."
"Whoa~~"
Clap, clap, clap~ Amidst the shower of applause from the users, I rose from my seat, giving a light bow.
And then it happened.
As Yuki's Potenking approached Hwirin, with a light punch, leaving her with only 3% health, she left two handguns on the ground and vanished.
"Huh!? What's this? Potenking eliminated Hwirin?"
-WINNER IS POTENKING-
**Chapter: An Unexpected Proposal**
A sudden gesture from Yuki shifted everyone's attention to her. With an innocent expression, she looked at the users and spoke.
"Hmm? I'm also part of the demo team, didn't you know?"
"Oh, really? Now that you ntion it..."
"Whoa, totally unexpected turn of events, huh?"
Wait a mont, isn't this more of a total surprise rather than a twist of fate?
Looking at her with a bewildered expression due to the unexpected situation, Yuki stuck out her tongue halfway and said to .
"Could you do sothing other than the Psychic Force figure?"
For so reason, there was a hint of unease in Yuki's bright smile. I swallowed a dry gulp and moistened my parched lips.
"W-what?"
"Could you propose to properly here?"
"......"
My ominous premonition was on point.
"Wow~~!"
Yuki's daring request initiated cheers from the crowd gathered at the event.
"Oh, co to think of it, didn't these two et at the Dragon Emblem event? But now they're announcing their marriage at the Remake event?"
"It's destiny~"
"Wow~ It's touching in a way, isn't it?"
"Co to think of it, isn't that person also the voice actor for Hasegawa Miyuki? Why do I feel like my girlfriend got stolen..."
Then, Gunpei, who had approached , spoke.
"I always thought a day like this would co, but seeing it in front of my eyes, I'm envious, dude. I'll approve of the wedding reception."
"... do I have to propose here?"
"Yeah. I've set the stage; would you embarrass Yuki by refusing her now? To these people here, she's like a goddess. Kind-hearted, loves gas, has a solid job. On top of that, she's the voice actor for Hasegawa Miyuki."
The last persuasion point felt slightly off, but...
Seeing the users densely packed in the venue, I knew that declining Yuki's request here would be walking into a lethal trap.
"Fine. If you can't avoid it, enjoy it."
With expectant eyes, I approached her and knelt down, taking a deep breath.
"Ooh~"
"Try to be a bit quieter."
"Shh. Shh..."
The murmurs gradually faded away, the people around beca quiet.
These people... have quite the solidarity...
Female Pentagon employees clasped their hands tightly, looking at Yuki with envious eyes.
"I envy Yuki..."
Sowhere, it felt like I heard Miyazaki's voice?
Yuki, who seed a bit embarrassed in this mont, blushing on both cheeks, raised her hands.
"So abrupt this proposal was. I didn't even prepare a ring..."
"It's okay. Your words an more to than formalities. So, go ahead."
She smiled broadly, hands clasped behind her back.
I took a mont to steady my breath and gazed directly into her eyes.
"I hope you'll continue to stay by my side as you have until now. Will you marry ? I love you."
At that mont, Yuki gracefully stepped one foot back, slightly lifted the ends of her skirt with her fingertips, and bowed her waist to .
"With joy, I accept your proposal."
"Yay~!"
"Congratulations!"
"It felt really touching just now..."
"I'm jealous. Really envious... where can I find a woman like that..."
November 21st, 1991.
The connection that started through Dragon Emblem finally bore fruit with Yuki.

**-The Demon Ga Director Tornting Users, Proposes to an Angel!!-**
"Haha, Junhyuk, look at this! Gunpei got our story into Famitsu!"
"This guy..."
"Why? It's an accurate description, right? Even Junhyuk himself admitted during the Laon announcent that he enjoys tornting users."
While on our way to our date spot, Yuki bought a Famitsu magazine from a bookstore and happily unfolded it. I let out a wry smile and took a sip of the coffee on the table.
The sunlight coming through the window made the diamond on her left fourth finger sparkle radiantly. It flowed from the ring snugly fitted on her delicate finger.
"You like the ring?"
"I do, but it's still too expensive for ..."
"Still, the design was the most sophisticated."
"Even so..."
Yuki looked at the ring on her finger and the one on my hand, smiling softly.
"Are our parents coming to visit us this weekend?"
"Yeah, we should. Since the Psychic Force demo went well (?), and we've already commissioned the board production at the factory. We should be fine for the ti being."
Although the developnt team's manpower was dying out, thanks to their noble sacrifices, Psychic Force would be rembered as a great masterpiece born from their efforts.
Then, Yuki asked with curiosity.
"Oh, by the way, what about Dragon Emblem II? Wasn't it supposed to be released this winter?"
"Oh, that's... "
I showed Yuki the section on Laon-related news from the Famitsu she brought.
**-Dragon Emblem II's Release Postponed to Next Spring for Better Quality.-**
