Akane was still very bored of this party, she even considered sleeping in the women's toilet and then change into her dress in her inventory for the second half of the party.
She really considered it, but she refrained from so, sleeping on the toilet in a sitting position is quite uncomfortable after all...
...and getting a dress out of the toilet is difficult after all, how do girls even manage to go on a toilet in these beautiful ball dresses?
After a while she wanted to explore the gardens, until she saw her two mothers making out and an unconscious guy beside them. She didn't even want to know the story behind that.
So here she was now, standing in the middle of the party, nothing on the residence to explore, nobody to really talk to, without bothering them (and letting them feel the torture of socially interacting with people below them) and no electronic devices were allowed to be used here, for once Akane was truly bored.
Well there is still the buffet, so let the gluttony rule!
She was at it for a while too, until said busy girls managed to get out of the crowds, they wanted to talk to her, but Akane stopped them. She decided to put her dress on after all.
"Talk with each other for a moment, I must pick flowers."
The two girls looked at each other, before nodding, so Akane went out to the flower garden.
"Well, I am Majeta Königskrone, nice to meet you."
Majeta stretched her hand out for a handshake, Momo grabbed it and started shaking it.
"My name in Yaoyorozo Momo, nice to meet you too."
The two continued to shake their hands for an uncomfortable amount of time, until they had a topic to speak about.
"So, how did you meet Seigi-san, Königskro-"
"Call me Majeta, we Germans normally refer to each other with their given names, so calling me by my surname is uncomfortable for me."
Momo nodded.
"Then you can call me Momo too. So, how did you meet Seigi-san, Majeta-san?"
"Are you a fan of classical music and the instruments it's played on?"
"Yes! I am! I am a great fan of classical music. I consider myself an expert in that field!"
"Then did you watch the pianist world competition from seven years ago?"
Momo shook her head, she didn't have time to watch it at that time, she had to prepare for the entrance exam for her primary school.
"No, I couldn't, I had to prepare for my primary school entrance exam at that time."
Majeta nodded, Momo was a hardworking girl too, that was good to know, at least she didn't sit still on her talent.
"That's too bad, that was the only I time I participated in the pianist tournament until now."
"WHAT! You made it to the world contest for pianist at the age of five! That's incredible!"
"No, no! First of all, I was six at that time and I rather think that I wasn't anything special, I was thrown out in the round of 16 before I could even reach the quarter finals."
"That's still impressive Majeta-san!"
Momo currently approaching Majetas personal space faster and faster.
"You wouldn't know if you knew who defeated me."
Momo tilted her head, she wondered who the girl lost to, so she considered something so special as not special anymore.
"And who did you lose against?"
"I lost against Akane, she even won the contest on that day, she even just retired from the scene a couple of months ago, it's impressive how you could even overhear about her, if you consider yourself an expert of classical music."
"Wait was the album '21 classical pieces from the 5-year old music prodigy' made by her?"
Majeta laughed, of course. A true classical music fan couldn't have possibly overheard her.
"Yep, it's her album, didn't expect to meet her today, right?"
"No, I really didn't!"
"Hey I'm back, did you just seriously talk about my music album? Uh, it's so bad, I recorded it while I was sick after getting food poisoning, I had to vomit during it like a dozen of times. The only reason why I recorded it, was because I wanted to retire from the scene and didn't want to absolutely disappoint my fans."
"Glad to see you back - Akane."
Majeta and Momo had their moves gaping open. Akane had changed into a white long summer dress that was decorated with golden flowers. The shoulder piece was just a big flower crown resting on her shoulders, while the dress was occasionally decorated with more golden flowers, she even wore a golden flower crown on her long white hair, which was simply let down this time. Even her eyes were golden to fit the theme!
She wore that dress so confidently that she became the center of attraction.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I really that cute and beautiful in this get up?"
"Beautiful? Cute? Gorgeous? Consider these words objectively not enough for your appearance! You look like a goddess that decided to descend onto this mortal realm, to bless us with your appearance!"
"Majeta is right, it's my birthday and I am supposed to be the most beautiful girl today, but you are clearly stealing the spotlight!"
Akane sighed, she waited for an opportunity to dress like this and where else that in a high-end party, but apparently even then her outfit was over the top. Akane felt irritated.
"Do you even know how difficult it was to find these flowers each the same size? Do you know how difficult it is to weave in flower into a dress? Do you know how long I waited to have the change to wear this? I am not backing down on this and just say that I am your model for a new fashion brand, Majeta. Would make a fair enough point."
"You are giving me the rights of this dress?"
"Of course, I don't think anyone in the world can wear this so gorgeously, so go nuts."
Majeta nodded, she was sure that if she could make posters with Akane looking like this, she would earn a lot of money and she even gave her all the rights for it! So, she didn't have to worry about Akane wanting some of that profit, that was just a straight win for her.
"She is dead set on winning the competition between the siblings, huh? Anyways, let's sit on a table and talk, I don't want to stand all day."
The three girls agreed and so they sat down on a table to talk with each other. They had really much fun during their talk and for once, truly felt like they had friends that they could talk to at an eye level.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Some hours passed at it was finally time for the band and Momo was informed about their arrival, or not. Turns out the main band was busy, so replacement band came.
Everyone was excited for the music, everyone but Akane, she didn't know the reason, but her gut told her that she knew the band and it turns out she really knew the band. It was the band that brought her into the world music.
"They managed to hold on for seven years?"
Was what Akane thought, but it got swapped with her speech bubble, so she said it out loud.
"What do you mean with that Akane?"
No answers were needed, because that was the moment the band chose to play and they were just as bad as in the past, but nobody wanted to talk against the band, after all the birthday child chose it and they couldn't possibly could get on her hated list, right?
"Momo?"
"Yes, Akane?"
"Why is this the replacement band?"
"I don't know, I never chose any replacements, I let one of my servants chose a replacement, obviously they abused their authority, I think of letting them get fired."
"Well, anyways, can I throw this band of the stage."
"Please kindly do so."
Getting the greenlight Akane proceeded to get up there and throw that band of the stage.
"You play like shit! Get down there, the birthday girl doesn't deserve the sound of this hellhole to play in her ears, now get down there and learn the basics of playing an instrument again!"
Finally hearing someone voice their thoughts the crowd started to scream them down, after a while they finally disappeared from the stage and their ears weren't attacked anymore by that horrific sound.
"Well, now I have the problem that I don't have music for the dance anymore."
"You know that I am a world level musician, right Momo?"
"What must I pay for you?"
"Consider this a favor for me."
After she said that she walked onto the stage and sit down at the piano, murmurs could be heard from the crowd, they didn't know who the girl was after all.
"MOMO! What should I play? Something with more energy, or something calm and relaxing?"
She thought for it for a moment, before she then chose something.
"Something we can all dance too and enjoy listening, while following the beat."
Akane gave her an 'okay' sign with her hand, before she sat down again to play.
(Underveil Album, Enemy Approaching, made by オオ���ラ, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9nGrgFt5_g)
It was a upbeat cheery melody, having a bit of tension in the air, but regardless of that, it was still a fun melody that everybody could dance too, it was especially a help that Majeta chose to jump in and take over the part of the pianist, so Akane could play on the violin. Even Momo the birthday kid herself jumped in with her new friends to play with them, she took on the part of the drums.
Everyone liked the piece of the three much better than the piece that was just played now and started to dance. The party ended with a success and everyone walked home cheery and happy. Momo was especially happy how her thirteenth birthday turned out, she made two new friends on that day and was happy.
"Wait! I wanted to ask if I could get your numbers to stay in contact with you two, I really enjoyed today and would like to meet again with you two!"
"Yeah! I still don't have your number too, Akane, how about you give it to me too while you're at it."
Akane just had a smug smile on her face, a smile that both girls wanted to punch in.
"I am sorry, but I don't give my number out, but you have my permission to acquire it."
Both girls didn't believe what they just heard now, but that was how Akane was, either you get her number somehow, or you don't, there was no option for her to give it to you.
------------------------------------------------------------------
At home again:
Akane was currently listening to her phone, until she heard some new messages, it was from a new group called 'the royal girls':
KingsCrown1: Seriously Akane? You made me ask Akita for your number? How rude can you be? :-/
YaoYao: Yeah, I felt really let down as you did that, Akane. :'-(

KingsCrown1: Did she seriously not reply until now? :-o
YaoYao: Yeah, no messages from her. -.-"
KingsCrown1: Why could that be? Any ideas? (・_・;)
YaoYao: Not really, no. -^_^-
KingsCrown1: Wait, Akane is blind, right? o_O
YaoYao: Yes, she is, why the question? :-|
KingsCrown1: How is she supposed to write on a flat screen? =:-o
YaoYao: Oh shit! You are right! °_°
KingsCrown1: ...

~Nothing important, just continue with my story.
