Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzajggFPV3R
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy6GYUZHV4
“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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNQb3eOQte
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG8i8FRVZf
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W1IFqfGj9
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp08LZkpzY
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5OlcsOIom

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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztVVVcy6ah
Shikra suggested that they should go there.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zyg12VEbQ
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0uU6ARuCE
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11dNj8hcgF
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSZ7cX5oBf
“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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDDbYOUfAT
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWAxdOY7eA
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eoGyGUpK5
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5IL6XwNWR
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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmhxf80TWz
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGrNrZUQUj
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcpNjOY3b4
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe4ttYdx8h
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQzUq8NWrC
Valentino looked at the treats.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQahR06p04
"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.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Crtm5OV4Y
"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."343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF12hK8r6F9
343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOA3DPHowp
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaRE7UtxZ9
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknf5CBERmJ
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.343Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx7u5ZGC5K
