Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSvt9LeZ3u
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWO8Y69Zzf
“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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6gfMitiI
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGLCRYCFea
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuSwRWl0bX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER0qgc68sw
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNQUpl9uQ8

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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uUD496IXp
Shikra suggested that they should go there.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHh3sjoYa3
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpUBHPPQxW
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoEzcSjT8N
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofGtcVPPsm
“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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdrsMBBz8t
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdza3EQfFC
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR940fE8h2A
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg5ODAbzsA
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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGxufIVHCW
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3rYfUIuTQ
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXeJ52neXI
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf2oscPHhJ
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSngzxCQjve
Valentino looked at the treats.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrevwNe4jp
"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.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bjThuLxvd
"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."351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYje9TkZmqm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEQVfmemni
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBJDJ9S6qa
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLshjruC7V3
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6sfRMnup2
