The modern magician Yakagi Suimei heard the name of that famous imaginary being from his father, Yakagi Kazami's mouth.  \n―Dragon kin. In the modern world filled with fictional novels, it was a name widely associated with monsters that had bodies like reptiles that could breathe poison or fire and had wings on their backs.  \nIn the Orient, dragons were considered as a symbol of virtue, while in the west, they were devils―regarded as the incarnation of deceased spirits filled with malignancy, they served as an 'evil' that was exterminated by gods and angels.  \nThe origin of the image of dragons came from the origin of the reptilian body, the snake. In the Bible, the snake was evil, and was the symbol of sin which tempted Adam and Eve.  \nBack in ancient times, religions based on the Bible and the indigenous religions of Ancient Egypt which worshipped snakes came into conflict, and as a result, the thought that snakes equal devils spread throughout many western spheres. Because of this, dragons were drawn as the enemies of humankind since ancient times, and were treated as evil.  \n... The reason Suimei turned around the question like that, was because suddenly the phrase 'Do you know about dragon kin?' came flying at his ears from his father out of nowhere. Naturally, Suimei's knowledge was nowhere near as deep as his father's, so all he could do was shake his head from atop the sofa.  \n“Evidence of dragon kin has been left behind in history books and literature, but their actual existence is not recognized. And, among us  \nmagicians, they are an existence that we conceal.”“Conceal...?”  \n“Which means...”  \nAs Suimei frowned at the indirect phrasing, as if to lend him a hand, Kazami tapped the armrest on his wheelchair with his finger.  \n“In reality, they exist, right?”  \n“Though it's already a story of the past.”  \nAs expected, his father was gazing out the veranda at the cloudy sky while he spoke. As Suimei waited for the conversation to continue, suddenly, his father shot a gaze towards him.  \n“Suimei, make some coffee.”  \n“Right in the middle of this talk?”  \n“I suddenly wanted some. It can't be helped. It's a privilege of a parent to have their son make coffee for them.”  \n“What kind of privilege is that...? Is it fine if it's instant?”  \n“I don't mind. But...”  \n“Black, right? Got it.”  \n“Are you also having some?”  \n“After putting in milk and syrup.”  \n“Hurry up and get used to drinking it black.”  \n“One day.”  \nSuimei returned a small smile to his father's expression which didn't change at all. His father's expression was always like a stone bust, but it wasn't like he had no emotions. He simply lost his ability to show his  \nemotions outwardly, just like now, he would still talk frivolously in good humour. Though the only ones who knew this were the ones close to him.  \n“So, what was that about dragons? They're being hidden in the world of magicians right?”  \n“That's right. They're hidden because it's better to have fewer people who know about it after all. However, that is no longer the case.”  \nAfter taking a sip of his coffee, Kazami continued speaking.  \n“The Revelation of Light indicates that a dragon will show up in Europe from an alternate plane. It's a mystical calamity on a scale bigger than any in history so far.”  \nThe Revelation of Light was a vessel which predicted phenomenon in the world used by the Thousand Nights Association. It predicted everything from trite small phenomena to gigantic apocalyptic ones―Frankly speaking, it could be described as an object that could predict the future. It's true nature was a little different than that, but setting that aside.  \n“A scale bigger than any in history so far you say...”  \n“It's a vague way of describing it huh. But because of that, it is only a matter of time before it is known to other magicians. At this point, keeping it hidden is extremely inconsequential.
