Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwPOWqOud5
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTed2MEqW8
“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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpEMH1AANh
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWnrkTpceZ
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIB7N9CZDl
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFUrRlFPsd
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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6lRKR1GUk

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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzUDuDjg4n
Shikra suggested that they should go there.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY8jZ0UiGV
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJUFVPSq91
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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNGh69huaj
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunInn5MdRh
“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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YfBfypE7Z
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtY3AfBznD
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE15pEKc7Ph
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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErNnLUwhjh
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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgUu3VOwUc
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM2FptYZQ2
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k1qNzskSt
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHntauJgpWq
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBbBJlg3GI
Valentino looked at the treats.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeDUVLD9Cg
"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.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs4Ft0kE3j
"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."432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiaByI8i8s
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XX6dxP1My
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVAOKo4YEH
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghjuPOkS4T
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprh5ruZCmA
