Hisone Amakasu enlists in the Air Self-Defense Force, where an encounter with a dragon concealed inside a hangar alters her career path forever.

Promoted to technical sergeant, Hisone undergoes fighter pilot training with the F-15J unit. The Gifu Air Base prepares for its annual air show.

Fearing that romantic relationships may become a distraction, Iiboshi orders the airbase staff to assess the relationship potential of each pilot.

As Iiboshi reveals the true mission behind the dragon pilot program, a former pilot from long ago appears before the Gifu Air Base flight crew.

With the mission date nearing, the dragon pilots are sent on a test run. One of the shrine maidens questions Hisone's relationship with Okonogi.

While Hisone follows through with her career decision, the remaining dragon pilots accompany Okonogi and the shrine maidens on their joint mission.

As the mission proceeds under the watchful eye of the command center, Hinomoto reflects upon the events that transpired during the previous ritual.
