Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28zrqqgPoc
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yF7Ydv2yN
“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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyczwpYPAVc
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVasvY5pZRX
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dMXw1AbEU
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYdiRRbPFR
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRRWvwnlDZ

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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DyTugw1tp
Shikra suggested that they should go there.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DvXBWeTD0
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmEWaY7Hwn
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIg2dWgHAWt
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDWrPSHDAq
“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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7UsjuIbJX
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbKuH1OAM5
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxNMQr2xup
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyNvMVO2aN
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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gf62M1jUJ
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV29rvUCIj
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05jEuRGLer
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqYJdP0KR6
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiXwvcWkEN
Valentino looked at the treats.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4uqCHR61r
"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.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlKLyOzExa
"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."259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iqH280k2L
259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrae2oXUZ9b
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXokG5BrPY
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVMlvB6xEW
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.259Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkTav5LJ46
