Chapter 17: Queen Salika's Artifact Gifts for Team Kaito

After months of relentless pursuit, Kaito and his team finally managed to locate and retrieve the first of the fabled Eternal Emblems. As news of their success reached Queen Salika of Seiker, she was filled with immense pride and admiration for their unwavering determination.

In recognition of their significant achievement and the crucial role they played in safeguarding the universe, Queen Salika summoned Kaito and his team back to the royal palace. There, in a grand chamber adorned with ancient symbols and shimmering artifacts, she awaited their arrival.

With a sense of anticipation, Kaito and his team stepped into the chamber, their Mechsuits resonating with the energy of their latest triumph. Queen Salika, regal and radiant, greeted them warmly, her eyes reflecting both gratitude and excitement.

As they stood before her, Queen Salika unveiled a collection of ornate chests, each adorned with intricate engravings and ancient symbols. She explained that these chests contained a selection of powerful artifacts, gifts from her kingdom to aid them in their future endeavors.

With reverence, Queen Salika opened the first chest, revealing a brilliant crystal orb. Known as the "Luminite Sphere," it emitted a soothing glow that filled the room. She explained that this orb contained the essence of cosmic energy, capable of restoring and rejuvenating the Mechsuits' power reserves.
