Shikra and Valentino are inside the library, spending almost two days on research about the cores in their body.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJP9XwFMI
“I think I know how we can test it!” Shikra said excitedly, “It won’t hurt, right?” she asked.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF9tImK62C
“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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4pDP2kFvG
“Okay... but if we succeed, I will owe you one. One big one,” Shikra grinned mischievously at Valentino.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioVtXU8QY0
So the two tested what is inscribed on the book they have collected.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ct49y1SXg
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYyjwjzgwk
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlAgh9DYbb

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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJXevhHtsk
Shikra suggested that they should go there.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqdBrJ9XAn
When they arrived in the town, both were surprised to see there are so many people here.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxnIfAao7o
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGOXvdhyxS
“What are we going to do first?” Shikra asked Valentino as they walked around.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdKWfkGNqZ
“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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKVbf0tEf0
"Aren't you a little excited to dance with me, Mr. Valentino Sarimiento?" she teased.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPkrxzN1pC
The conductor started tapping his baton, signaling the start of the dance.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXxXBSDZNI
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzaZbeA9U5
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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOZ7oYV7mo
"You're excellent, Mr. Valentino!" Shikra exclaimed.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lv9mY5mVO
"Thanks," he said shyly. "Are you enjoying the festival?"520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLDRmmEepQ
Shikra nodded energetically. She pointed towards a stall where people are still handing out sweets.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ7El8tqLH
“Do you want some? I bought some yesterday.” Shikra said as she took the candy from the vendor.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxiWodlAF5
Valentino looked at the treats.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcSWDLkrFV
"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.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z7MmSbGxq
"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."520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2D8OSyT5I
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfwTJL7x2S
Valentino smiles at Shikra's words. He takes a chocolate covered strawberry from the vendor's hand and puts it into his mouth.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WBWzxQ9PJ
"It's not as good as mine, but this is fine," he says quietly, and Shikra giggles.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlArRKy7ug
They walk around the town and enjoy the festival.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzz9wBbG2K
