Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBRppDXtiV
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOILyhunKMC
“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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODUFNwCQTw
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y5ujsipy3
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YXpQvxste
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAIbfoJdIE
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT2M2dThNY

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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4fFe3Jgs3
Shikra suggested that they should go there.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fyKrIvX4l
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyo6aoDJsl
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wpmoQZ08f
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoMq4PVSq8
“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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMw3o3jd6k
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNYMT8eYTw
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjweWx28Jor
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlWDdsFth5
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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTuPrYGbAX
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzIqXAeu9H
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RCQAQwTVt
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVmYdHc49
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgMYQgmoIj
Valentino looked at the treats.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgAdn6LhNA
"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.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSFph8Rrac
"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."352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysjC28hyMI
352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrnEAJkOiR
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksUvHB8f5v
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL14zc94IA
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.352Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1omisRZpZ
