Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyTn9bg0X9
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnzLUwGsuA
“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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q8CxqLQuE
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfrc0zJ4F3
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxwIuNxyVk
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rxEwG8GtV
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37FrwQhfKV

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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue3J8yHcdq
Shikra suggested that they should go there.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX6E3VsrT7
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDmcWaAb2N
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFeh6bCiTM
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KNZ4Wvru2
“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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmL1dhFjyL
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvjJ8AmYCH
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABetR1vqz
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMp4Wpas25
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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTJvKGRVwn
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTyl4mFWG4
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyOaCCwVTS
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAiEfdoaGh
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm8YV8naAf
Valentino looked at the treats.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tNQjM5gDn
"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.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhRaw2StKU
"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."405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU51GI9zCK2
405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1h2Ty9fIo
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wIa9tGZbv
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGUDy8oDSH
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.405Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY7TLAqzzX
