Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibp9Mbtd3c
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcvKX0NLId
“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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ogK22SOj
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xrqHwX5ne
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCww3V4LPz
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWFsfKSNQK
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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaG6oQGlDL

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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSk3XgW4IA
Shikra suggested that they should go there.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYTXiB8vw2
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSud1oufTJ1
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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSR6Sqbfrl
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHsrKojPvq
“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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NGei9xToD
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfKJ8xc0BD
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE8owcUPXH
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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UTe7jbHsQ
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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5BaMDFaR1
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYUuVFiSAc
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTy3M5RobS
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvlYUcjPFn
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbVzctuwdf
Valentino looked at the treats.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJzcm9xrQw
"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.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowm6K4N0wh
"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."402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi1AczVnEP
402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO28PUU7ad
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQH87TIuWL
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyPp6Wsyht
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6MHneBPmP
