Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz8ZxPV2ID
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y2Wa0x2Rg
“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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubwc5Xiron
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBq8Hd7ILFZ
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7uuz7o7o
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndeDrWbTMI
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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICbnQwpgkO

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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yfrahtQNX
Shikra suggested that they should go there.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8AMeDfOOy
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOchAILfyz
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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX6TmvvRGg
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeESrXoMxl
“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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnrRvcjXwq
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFrs3XYyQw
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3idJKYkdq
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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaPQ3xuU2M
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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A7gkUzCqL
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuClYbVjKid
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7kBfohShl
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQxK0HGmOu
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7WwbwQGGo
Valentino looked at the treats.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz2m3pRgCe
"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.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKhvSRnMNA
"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."367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhcfLlvEGQ
367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNUace11im
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44ep9dwppO
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8Lv47nHGJ
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.367Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ECxPB1FVo
