Miss Pilot (ミス・パイロット)

"Request for Resignation"

2013 April 5

I'm back.

- This kind of brings back memories. - It's been one and a half years after all.

- It feels so small now, doesn't it? - Just the smell of this place is...

I'm starting to tear up. It feels like we've come home again, doesn't it?

It feels like all your fatigue is going away, right?

- There are some faces that I don't know. - Could they be the new guys?

Let's have a good working relationship.

Ask me anything if there's something you don't understand.

- You're not the one to say that. - Ouch...

Your stuff from America has arrived.

- It's in your rooms. - All right.

Thank you very much.

Kanoko-san. Chisato hasn't returned here yet, has she?

Hey.

Shino-san, aren't you on less flights lately?

Well... yeah.

That makes me a bit sad.

There's nothing to do about that. There are more and more younger ones being raised up.

Isn't it the same as a dispatcher?

Oh, no. I can't say that the younger ones are better than me yet.

You're right.

Is your daughter all right?

Please don't feel so bad about yourself.

It's been a while.

Did Chisato get in contact with you?

No, not at all.

I'm sorry. This is all my fault.

Why are you apologizing? She's an adult already.

She's the one that is causing trouble to the company.

But if something might happen to her...

There's no need to worry. I haven't raised her as a fragile daughter.

You guys are no different. Chisato and you are so similar.

She's similar to you.

Don't you think that she changed quite a bit?

She used to be much more aggetated.

Both me and her were really cautious of how we approached each other.

- Don't you remember anymore? - No, I do remember.

This is why I was against her becoming a pilot.

Being a pilot now is different. I have also changed.

If only you would have changed sooner.

We could have stayed as a family.

You could be right about that.

She must have been so disappointed in herself.

You're right.

Please let her be by herself for a little bit longer.

All right.

Tezuka Haru,

The view that I saw with you was the best view

that I have ever seen in my whole life.

Your buddy.

Chisato?

Chisato?

Kyokan! What are you doing here? Guys are not allowed to be here.

Why are you trying to act like a girl? You're not that kind of person.

Not that kind of person...

Leaving for America! Narita, departing 11:20

Where did she go to?

I sometimes think of Chisato flying an airplane.

I actually don't want her to give up trying to become a pilot.

It has been determined that she's unfit to become a pilot.

She's the one who understands that more than anyone else.

Leave Oda alone for now.

All we can do is wait.

Training is going to continue after this time-off period.

You should get rest for now.

- But... - Just leave it for now.

Try to rest for today. All right?

All right...

Hello, otosan?

Haru, you're back in the country, right?

Yes, I just came back.

Could you come over here to visit us?

Right now? Is it all right if I come tomorrow?

Well.. just come over here. We'll be waiting for you.

Did Oda-san come back already?

Huh? No, not yet.

- Are you worried? - She's a member of our team after all.

Is that really all?

Of course that's all.

But now that you're back

you'll be going to the training center everyday, right?

We won't be able to see each other again for a while.

Sorry for that.

- But I'll forgive you for that. - Huh?

I knew about this already and you have to do this to become a pilot, right?

I'll support you as your wife.

Thank... My wife?

What should we do now? Go see a movie? Go eat something?

- Get married? - Get married?

- Get married. - Oh... Well... Marriage...

- I think that I'll go home for today. - Are you trying to run away?

I'm sorry.

It's just that I came back from America just now

and I still feel a bit restless.

Is that so. Then once you settle down we can get married finally.

Just kidding.

I'm sorry.

It's all right.

- I'm back. - There she is.

Welcome back~ Did you loose some weight over there?

- But you look healthy. - Thank you.

Today is not a regular day where you're closed, is it?

- Otosan took a day off today. - Just for me?

Why did you do that? Were you longing to see your daughter so much?

Can't I be?

Here you go, some oinarisan.

What was that place called again where you went?

A place called North Dakota in America.

Were you all right over there? Didn't you have any problems getting used to the food over there?

- Of course she wouldn't. - That's right.

You're right.

But I'm so happy that you came back safely.

Of course I came back safely.

I was able to pass the flight qualification test

- so you should praise me for that. - Being a parent means that

you're the happiest if your child is safe and well.

This is delicious. Nothing tastes better than the food you make.

Did everyone pass the test?

Is that so.

Do you have pictures? Show me some pictures.

One moment...

Hey, come on. Hurry up and show me.

- You already saw them, right? - All right, all right.

It looks like you had a good time.

- Do you want to take a look? - I'll take a look at them later.

Can you print out a few for us?

- I'll leave those behind. - What? Really?

Yes. I don't feel like looking at them at the moment.

I think I'm going back now.

What? Already? I even put out the blankets for you.

- That's right, spend the night here. - That's right.

I'm still a bit tired.

All right. Come again when things settle down.

Sorry for asking you to come all of a sudden.

Oh, then please bring this to the other guys.

All right? I'll pack this up.

- Let me know if you find something out. - All right.

- Oh. - Wow, you scared me.

- Rinko-san. - Thanks for your work.

- You seem busy Konosuke. - What are you talking about?

Please excuse me.

Why are you trying to act under the radar? As a kyokan,

don't you also have to be well rested?

Well, yeah.

You're trying to find Oda Chisato, aren't you?

So it's not just Tezuka Haru that you're interested in.

Both of them are my students.

Do they still need your help once they aren't trainees anymore?

- Hey. - But...

I believe that it's the kyokan's fault if someone fails.

It's my fault. So of course I can't just let go of this.

- Hey... hey! - I'm sorry!

- Hey, Rinko-san! - Hey, Yamane...

It's Yamada. Good that you're here.

- Do you have some time? - Huh?

- What's this? - Souvenirs.

- It's so much. To whom are you giving them out to? - It's all for you.

Listen...

A women appreciates it more if you bring her one really nice thing.

That's also what I thought at first

but I found this right after I arrived in America

then I found this the following week.

And before I knew it I bought all of this in one and a half years.

Rinko-san, all of this is bought with a lot of consideration.

Please accept it!

Did you buy anything for yourself?

The thing is... I totally forgot about it.

In that case, this is something that I really don't want.

I'll give it to you.

Really?

My very first present from Rinko-san!

Let me go home by being emerged in my sentiment by myself.

You're so annoying.

Isn't it cute?

Oda.

I'm sorry for the worries that I caused.

Please accept this.

You're really annoying.

I'm sorry.

What are you going to do after you quit?

I haven't decided yet.

That's not like you.

It already took me until now to make the decision to quit...

Is it always all or nothing for you?

Being a pilot isn't the only job to work for the aviation business.

For me being a pilot is the only thing.

But won't you be happier if you can stay close to airplanes?

For me it will be tougher.

That's how it is to give up to become a pilot.

Do you understand that?

Please accept this.

I'm not part of human resources. You should be handing that to a different person.

I understand.

Thank you for everything until now. Goodbye.

That sounds like we'll never see each other again.

I don't think that we'll even see each other again.

- Huh? Didn't you go to your parents place? - I didn't feel at ease over there.

We also thought of going to our parents but...
