Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCYSz6BwJx
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnShwN9SBN
“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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH2zgyBN2I
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡch4EHB7GrS
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25XDcNi3yP
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJlmus325M
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcm6e500bo

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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZsXF45i8k
Shikra suggested that they should go there.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88r4aQCIFw
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivEFa89yh5
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCDeqPjchl
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8d7X6j77V5
“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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCssd8vPyH
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3htzH5YJK2
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy4Rw8hg2W
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGNjkmAcNt
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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Ie2nLBOC
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKJ5bdbbo1
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl0exeRWMz
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAl2URYpUL
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq2fD0nHAF
Valentino looked at the treats.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2T5hiRYrf
"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.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysTp8CSY57
"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."510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUiIgmgjWq
510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydRQ2JI1ST
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yLMNlxfKS
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxZbeulKvJ
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.510Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcEIEgvYeq
