Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4F5427ptk
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBJN6zEnE6
“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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuLgKrl6go
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPcYbyGkuv
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVi5etngiL
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIIZUmHw06
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQVvUjI7Tt

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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iFoGP1lkd
Shikra suggested that they should go there.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsSaMJ0sCX
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn327WmcyzX
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyUtFXbN6o
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcqoMHh4XN
“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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9QiuDcmeH
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdWRTTqZos
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoP6c9eQL5
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1pfUMQAx5
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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbZ4oGcwmH
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3AOrq0NBU
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ05rwK9r9P
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNTunRhOXD
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwa83pR6ke
Valentino looked at the treats.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQslCmsQr60
"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.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Frasq4SG
"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."443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpTmTv948z
443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9XcEIbLAt
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUSVJbV8hk
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS3Tgs9WHX
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.443Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1dD26PjYH
