Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkdBOqeQux
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaIlW3ef3Q
“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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0LJ6d4DMu
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8zJEOfGJm
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbgGsbvTlr
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9PFdV8wNG
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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbTHxsTpxr

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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydHbGElppp
Shikra suggested that they should go there.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZbjNOuXcQ
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKBBou0WAj
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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaou7qwtxr
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuOC6b9B6j
“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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3SdDWDrrN
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUctwqGwvLY
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2aYw5lqx3
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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEOZSoQT8x
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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zZ4zikSYo
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBqqiSsYJ1
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABIP2mGizY
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKmkXBbw27
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJVhbaWQYG
Valentino looked at the treats.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZTSrDGt6A
"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.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbYUu8JeQg
"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."472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvArJaklX1k
472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNspW4q3FJ
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6UigI5mUO
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ6uOhErWV
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.472Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62VXDy2bjT
