Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyN9PSYVyxl
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW94TmHXOc
“Not at all! Why do you think I was researching about them?” Valentino replied, “We need to be careful though because we don’t want to use it too soon. Not until we have more knowledge about what this power does to the core itself,” Valentino explained.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT32ZvuenhZ
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooJNvtmQoV
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixoDU6FJqq
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXG4jrCEBs
It said that when you want to directly manipulate Magika towards your core, you need to force it out of your body. The two did it, and they are successful, with minor issue of exhaustion.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzblcxlQBG

After minutes of practicing, Shikra got reminded about a certain festival at their place called Rose Quartz. It is a festival where they dance along with the music together with their partners.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnMeXhEN6S
Shikra suggested that they should go there.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShD6Cjfz8m
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUztk4vkIn
There is a small stage near the center of the village. There are also many stalls selling food and drinks, as well as dancing partners.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMQ4R7nQ3S
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeBflHGmnK
“Well, I guess we could start with our usual tradition,” Val said, and then grabbed Shikra by the hand and pulled her into the dance.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dc0hcn2IP
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ADAhbZwP
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93UrsZsYS2
Valentino didn't respond to Shikra's teasing. He just kept smiling while watching how beautifully Shikra danced. Her moves are precise and graceful like always. They keep moving to the beat of the music. Gracefully responding to each other's movements and carefully guiding each other to the next step on the dance. They are like swans in a glistening lake.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOU3e5Fbqf
They keep dancing until they reached the end of the song. Valentino let go of Shikra’s hands and smiled proudly at his work. He turned his head to look at her, only to find her smiling widely back at him.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ948rwZThT4
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaN3uCtjeV
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFisz2NYN1
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7UuPq8pGa
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS55RMqdWUc
Valentino looked at the treats.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNSB9uKM7q
"Can we stay for a bit longer in here, Shikra. I'm... enjoying the festival," he whispers at Shikra with a hint of stagger in his voice.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I1yWW0DEh
"Of course we can! Nobody's stopping us. And besides, best friends do things together, especially when they are enjoying the company," she said as she offered the treat in front of his face. "I will always be with you, no matter what happened."571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKQRMRM8Jy
571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvbntc3zpX
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpSf9F3jOj
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYNf9LNE0b
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.571Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLM3GqmjRF
