Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwliJK93Dq
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIavqXNdM6
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVARJ6blMht
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOmLsWbOI2
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP56MItPRHO
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELl6nbx4C
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTE33Z9KF6

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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLdG6cC6kR
Shikra suggested that they should go there.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCIWBW2ygm
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF5EJNYeNz
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrUGeuWR0r
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTRi7W8gyj
“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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYzbqZiskS
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgREnIWlQb
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3yjmeRgl2
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJH7liQUkS
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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJnthzW0KA
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oT9kzrYoy
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmS4DKjNFv
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVpkKUJZ4w
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4wkcp5nuH
Valentino looked at the treats.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hiU2gJueP
"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.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEJg1svUfZ
"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."516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswWduJoxDZ
516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CMnPU3mZZ
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXi79JCZydw
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RmJKhbSZF
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.516Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFOIRYGiK7
