Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn96QkxruUi
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Nu6d2Qua
“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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFfUXMoqps
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NV2EGQIN5
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR6zEtXtXn
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9NSjns1iR
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHW8jNN88q

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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67X9zHNiKl
Shikra suggested that they should go there.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZz5k2rVjr
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFMDjsoPuG
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4t6v763Qo
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5VeeaHRU2
“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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qygo0Tzpa
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0FEhZu4r0
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHZFtLxAWt
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMzEE1oSJp
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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFABPNIcERT
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s8qC4PDPQ
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv42Tu7t0a
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeku6fD3Ye0
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHxQHiY3eP
Valentino looked at the treats.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Etwtp5MY
"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.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CCwEHFUwS
"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."342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFIahot614
342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVL9UZ6iRC
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn4aNmmbNn
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhb6kSixLL
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.342Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU0z4gU0Kf
