Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BTx93nUFF
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFgcBJ5CWW
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLi956bRHQ
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwU1jycfqd
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXATxzS8UR
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr9g5IzAvk
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRrILlZGiH

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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zKJFjoKTJ
Shikra suggested that they should go there.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUXM7p82qx
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwiO04fElN
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CzrHNCanJ
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhyQ7Te8Fz
“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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyuGfKRrk7
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizKAFclDtl
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVmhaLjwLY
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7VicEt7dZ
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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11U2CYcHhv
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bL8gVBJgC
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GJWxHtzb2
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B52TuMTc5
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlUpWj9CSr
Valentino looked at the treats.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y6mCkgklU
"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.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7kogtQfic
"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."251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4DhR2zF0I
251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sisPAiX5g
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2amrjZq1K
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEzPDR4qaS
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.251Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3G6RN3XIZ
