Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC5z2A0g7b
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinBcQHSJM0
“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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP5QYh72r9
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff2BkzQzbL
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ljRAOdtKV
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uGsZSInIl
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPq7F620YI

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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LaOt8mfuH
Shikra suggested that they should go there.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0KspK00B7
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvkrhChfiC
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9oguB6bSN
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2paCAed9KZ
“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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT9c0wRR8Z
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5esfC9huf
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa49X5ReQXo
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsIzgTOptb
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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DqV057ZMD
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIdmEnb9rm
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTmDDNKd9m
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcUFUKRcfb
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2lapauMHl
Valentino looked at the treats.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgArdovPnsE
"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.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevNDYHzaq0
"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."478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgqujbzvx6
478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtLpgHUmd
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuV3nc9MZa
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP2K59tNR1
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.478Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbZBj1awpp
