Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDpkVqVcnh
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0XOKjhzCy
“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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ342yN0RoXB
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W9Glw8UZa
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg0DTbJlOs
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgtEkmQT7e
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dm7BfBEiW

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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGUBzh8I6P
Shikra suggested that they should go there.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd732uatqj
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8GBoGuxqD
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC3emhYtwV
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfgBTe2VCv
“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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeo9x9X6LH
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6PHRqzXPn
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrye5qTwNs
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRlTMBY24Y
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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPpdRFKmKV
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9ZPs4ZMGl
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj426j4bSA
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVbfFEeKud
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgSs0msnJG
Valentino looked at the treats.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXPFPVzmfD
"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.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolJJh8ZfMj
"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."344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyu7OFUisc
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rRk7E1ko3
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qGpZ9YdOe
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMCUvfXpEX
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvrDOkjo5b
