Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDq9V2j0Eb
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCqXF1QjNb
“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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjstOMeIJY5
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCSEmuX64b
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfxnzTaDB6
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt4JKBulWs
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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia6DFWaZDA

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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUEiNFvqSt
Shikra suggested that they should go there.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWWLBfpFgj
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCbPSZVZkI
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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehibowYVqA
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi0gD8dqtO
“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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6dyL1SSs6
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tL33LbDE0
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDzN7iW7aJ
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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7IAcItv6z
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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNQ8dtU7yn
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6LtoRWDhq
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKMbGU9IeQ
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnGcdqZMEC
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a0YRAgORN
Valentino looked at the treats.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxNvI8biO6
"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.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR0X0D9Kpt
"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."365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOe6mlnUWpw
365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZynsFOYeHT
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4h3zdhjYo
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQXvlUMVDv
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.365Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVAi5lD1b1
