Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8OiEj0A1E
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCvlCJO77i
“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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3MmA2QelG
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6rX1pNpJA
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThbj63g8mx
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfx71j82Cq
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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7uZCCVlra

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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBP1AH9rN5
Shikra suggested that they should go there.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXG6MAQhuB
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA71QzfiL1
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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0TBHLDB09
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2bakRljvH
“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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJYUFOTdzw
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSDjaJIqGa
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DegNChytZ
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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRljtOrsofv
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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVid8ULtx
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoanvo16zX
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlge5bGXRxm
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWWoz8RxZ9
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr45LcvYKT9
Valentino looked at the treats.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqLV5RQqUs
"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.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxaFmT7RiY
"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."224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9qdqxeVa4
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKEdNceycW
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWWuGEiHKi
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQGM71UjP
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sTQsDMFZD
