The day of departure had arrived, they arrived at the airport at 10am for the 1pm flight. They went to check in the luggage. Arioka did not have any problems but when Yamada came by, the employee called him and said:

"Excuse me, but your suitcase is 15kg over the standard allowed per person."

"How much will it cost me?" Asked Yamada.

"20,000 yen." Declared the employee.

"Eh? What are we going to do, Daiki?" Yamada exclaimed.

Nevertheless he paid and dropped off his suitcase. He turned abruptly and hit a woman who screamed:

"Oh! You're Ryosuke Yamada! I'm a fan."

Several people began to approach, Daiki said to Yamada:

"We should leave before there are too many people." 

They ran through customs to escape the fans. But once again Yamada was challenged by the sound of the security gate ringing as he passed through. A customs officer arrived and took him to the station to search him. The customs officer started checking the pockets, Yamada backed away surprised and shouted:

"What are you doing!!???"

"This is the usual procedure when a passenger rings the bell. We have to search him, I want to make sure you're not a terrorist."

Daiki cried out:

"Him!?? A terrorist? Don't make me laugh!"

"Clothes don't make the man, you know, we have to check everyone." Replied the customs officer.

"You don't recognize me? I'm Yamada Ryosuke, number one in Hey Say Jump."

"OH! I don't like this group. Says the customs officer with a face of disgust. Take off your jacket so that I can search you."

"I am not just anyone, I have no orders to take!"

"Wait, do it or we'll miss our flight!" Daiki cried out.

Yamada did so and headed for the boarding lounge where they waited for their flight. They talked during that time.

"I felt humiliated! People could have recognized us

"There were some! No one must know that we're going to France." Says Arioka.

Suddenly, the voice of a loudspeaker announced:

"The flight to France, Roissy Charles de Gaulle airport, will soon take off. Please proceed to Boat Gates 7, Terminal 2, in a quiet and silent manner. Departure in 30 minutes. I repeat, the plane is leaving for France soon, please proceed to Boat Gates 7, terminal 2. Thank you."

The voice stopped and Arioka and Yamada stood up and went towards their plane. They passed through the Boat Gates and settled into their seats on the plane.

"Here we are, Sayonara Japan, hello France." Says Yamada.
