Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsfpfzNDwi
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRl0gCPwdsM
“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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54QGVyDsYP
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTj4I5jidI
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eaQUdXUKU
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiygCVYKVf
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NQEi2MWKN

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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCcBIef3te
Shikra suggested that they should go there.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI3VBSqEjj
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDYYKNcuUA
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgrmmr2Y69
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgJb2KLS1w
“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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnu53Q5nz5
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS33SXYML0
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡladXRd9l4o
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld5LSPmgPh
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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ58eIbbMgG
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULX3p0SOLU
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIZpkxONx5
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdcGeVC6GC
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOvuIKBSXE
Valentino looked at the treats.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIO1SxHiAZ
"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.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZl8XTTIJb
"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."372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshj5aC0cN7
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTFbHFblqf
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8uUSzhwiD
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmq8GfdhEI
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwrdE37aic
