Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJK6PO0DH9
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyx2ftiXhf
“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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Kn5s57Tv
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUv2ful4rv
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjNCUDwlDA
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzF6kimuz5
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlmsOjm6N9

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVKQuF4R0j
Shikra suggested that they should go there.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNwpnzX5Cl
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sRVe1Bxb2
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjmnkbAqXJ
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe1SsisBg8
“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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEp5cJgz9B
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t2DQhTrri
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcVgNFjox7
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhc4Qt7VC
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxsvU2d6ts
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGwm60x4WT
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tDi1Hc8FD
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7V70i4rIC
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB765agNnd
Valentino looked at the treats.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4yjLQrvOg
"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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dDlRTfVoV
"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."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5jRMRNd4a
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWfmMvyoLX
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR5KKzCIcY
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy9FyeLPRt
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTBItQW9Np
