What's really going on
On the surface the girls are just scheming about a concert, but the plan is really an answer to Mei's complaint that goodness gets her nowhere. She has been "her perfect little Mei Mei," dutiful at the temple, in class, at violin and tap, and still hears only suspicion: "If they don't trust us anyway, then what's the point?" The friends do not argue her out of it; they give her a reason to act — "This isn't just our first concert" — and dress the rebellion in grown-up language, calling it their "first step into womanhood." The lie about a sleepover is the first thing the group does as a unit rather than four separate daughters, which is why "The perfect crime" lands as a triumph rather than a betrayal.

このシーンについての質問
Why do the girls pretend to have a sleepover?
To hide the concert from their parents. A sleepover is an ordinary excuse that buys them a night out, so the whole scheme depends on it.
Why does Mei feel her mother never trusts her?
She says she has always been the perfect daughter — temple duties, grades, violin and tap — and still gets treated with suspicion, so she asks what the point of being good even is.
How do they plan to pay for the concert?
They do not have the money yet. After deciding to go, they set out to raise the cost of the tickets, which becomes their next problem.
What does "the perfect crime" mean here?
It is Mei's half-joking name for the lie. The scheme is not a crime at all, but calling it one makes sneaking out feel clever and thrilling rather than dishonest.
