Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh70qXEZv9
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2NFrwNlAs
“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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1slF1eclm
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rnbHXlJ3d
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIKLwTrGPQ
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp34Rm7DIxF
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlRdepaRLY

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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dwnkyN4sB
Shikra suggested that they should go there.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXxAPkpZJu
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3749jdozpK
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURItd87WWb
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBsmiaFEHY
“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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQfLByXUgl
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfnbpCmMPY
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQAQaCeq66
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpcOpqUbY4
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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBJExctg03
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y51WE2G2c
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzAm6PcjJu
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPtAKtz2S
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNCMmrMCfx
Valentino looked at the treats.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr3DI7KWxc
"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.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR0zwqr7Sp
"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."503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhLDowM0uD
503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNnopOjy0c
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyh2CRBmyQ
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAmsB8QhEh
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.503Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiAYwslv9x
