Song of Memories– Chapter 9: The Return
The Royal Princesses promised to meet at exactly 9:15 at the town square fountain. But instead of being there at 9:15, they arrived at 9:30 due to some circumstances. Still, it is not a big loss to them because the concert will start at 10:15 so they have plenty of time. They always have 1 hour advance because Rein and Altezza were always slow when it comes in preparing for the concert. Rein takes lots of time in picking what appropriate dress or clothes she will wear. On the other hand, Altezza takes lots of time in choosing what is the best jewelry or accessories that best suits her. Fine was the first one to arrive at the fountain and was disappointed that they are not yet there.
"Mou, they were later than I thought. 3 minutes have already passed and they are still not here. I hope they would be here in no time."Fine complained.
A few seconds passed, Rein was coming towards the fountain. She waved her hand and called Fine by her codename.
"Hey! Kyoko! I'm here already! Wow, you are quite early today!"Rein greeted.
"Well, is it you who is later than me? I am late but you always come later but if it comes to dress or clothes, you always came early. Am I right Tomoyo?"Fine rolled her eyes heavenwards.
"Uhm… Yes! But you also do the same for the sake of the food!"
"And what do you mean by th-"Fine argued but was interrupted by Altezza, who was whacking their heads.
"Stop fighting! Both of you!"Altezza continued whacking them.
"You are late Riye! Ouch! That hurts!"Fine said dizzily.
"Hey Riye! Knock it off!"Rein shouted at Altezza in her ears for her to stop whacking them.
"Gomen… Did I overdid it?"
"Yeah! Look at my head! It is swelling terribly!"Rein pointed at her head.
"You made my head shake like there is an earthquake inside it… Oh, I feel dizzy…"Fine swayed in her place.
"Hontoni gomenasai. It was because both of you were fighting and it is the only way to stop both of you. As an apology, I will treat Kyoko 5 meals and buy 3 dresses for Tomoyo later."
"Well… We accept your apology. I can't wait for later!"Fine and Rein said in sync.
"Let's go now before it's too late since both of you were slow when it comes to preparing."Fine joked.
"And what do you mean by that!"A vein popped in the heads of Altezza and Rein.
"Catch me if you can! Let's race!"
Fine ran quickly for she is very athletic compared to other people including Altezza and Rein. Altezza and Rein tried their best to catch up with Fine but they can't because they are not gifted with athletic skills. Finally, the three arrived in their company building at exactly 9:35. Rein and Altezza panted really hard while Fine just drank a cold water from the refrigerator. Fine poured cold water for Rein and Altezza to reduce their tiredness.
"Kore! Drink a glass of water. It will help reduce your weariness."Fine said as she handed the glasses of water to them.
"Arigatou!"
"Dou itashimashite…"Fine smiled.
After they drank a glass of water, Fine returned the excess water to the refrigerator and noticed a note posted on it. She took the paper and read it aloud. It said:
To the Royal Princesses:
Today, the theme of the concert is about hip-hop. Please choose your best hip-hop clothes. Pick a set of hip-hop clothes in your closet in the dressing room, I have replaced them.
Manager
"So what are we waiting for? Let's get started!"Altezza exclaimed.
"Good idea Altezza!"Rein clapped.
"Hahaha! Nothing less from me!"Altezza boasted.
"Hai, hai… Let's just get started…"Fine said boringly.
Prepare, prepare, prepare… Something's waiting for you…
