A year ago, Noah's Ark took the DNA Tracking System and sought out Hiroki Sawada's biological father—Nakaaki Kashimura. It wanted this human to reveal the truth to the public.
However, Nakaaki Kashimura was a rigorous, old-fashioned man who valued evidence and logic in everything he did.

Then the fifty selected important children would be unable to enter its domain.
