Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgypiFDUXUn
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlXDN9GNqP
“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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t6Svml1Wo
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0N9cdc6xM
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lDIhy7KQ
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5cgYAN5kG
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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJP24yChV

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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8R3hKbJsP
Shikra suggested that they should go there.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy02iG1DQx
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSvhajTjcT
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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn9sY9uZgx
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHQw7KVMKc
“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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssszIugHV1
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWeZawjgYB
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD9VOWIlfL
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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCeRoyrFIb
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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsuzCZK8zc
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rJ5evSpHT
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUdJTukNZu
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZTer2Qq4H
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHRmywnAhy
Valentino looked at the treats.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXhbc6MpZ7
"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.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3bpOcuFml
"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."282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEskpfTfpRe
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVKPGwA5Lr
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkabUzHFHpX
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MQKz8NXsZ
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6llwZSGOK
