Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy4JkxNhmS
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA0ZGi16CI
“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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dLoHTvfD1
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnWoZGxJmi
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uZp22ebFM
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CWGE6ym5R
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjonIQfupg

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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByRD4iMnDe
Shikra suggested that they should go there.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMncbyGjNa
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkKvnWbyLl
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFRbQ5MaDP
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw5HWEsBir
“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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nnjWnupUN
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnojT37L7j
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQs9bBlJef
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMuLaEo1bw
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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkDVhfvS6w
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiJaLDL3Zj
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNbw5EgFYN
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemyQksJfna
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTiQTTeyu1
Valentino looked at the treats.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx995Chiij
"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.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOaQ95cLlL
"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."401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CcU1ORB5G
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPRZAkNf8N
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBItFmDwfL
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTL3Evz5Ne
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJSDrlFt0t
