Yukari quickly buttoned up her shirt and threw on a pair of track shorts, socks, and sneakers. She grabbed her jacket and tossed it over to Junpei, stopping briefly in front of the mirror to examine herself. She was a mess. Her hair was disheveled, and she had rings under her eyes. Oh well, no time for that now. She followed after Junpei. "Where are we going?" she whispered.
"We have to get back to the boys' dorm in order to meet up with the others. Mitsuru will explain when we get there. First, though, we need to grab Minako." He opened a door.
Minako stood on the other side of the door, a bag on her back, dressed and ready to go. "Hey, why did she get time to get ready?" Yukari demanded.
"Well, she didn't sleep in," Junpei grinned. "You should have heard your snoring."
"I do NOT snore!" Yukari said.
Minako grinned knowingly at Junpei. "Shall we be off?"
The three made their way to the basement. "We can't cut across the courtyard," he said quietly. "Strega will be expecting us. There's an underground service walkway through here," he said, opening a metal door. A pungent odour spread into the room. Yukari wrinkled her nose.
"That's a sewer!" Yukari exclaimed. She stepped forward and looked at the central waterway. "There's no way we're going through here. Out!" she commanded, pushing Junpei.
As she did, she slipped, falling back into the water. It was shallow, but cold. Junpei and Minako burst out laughing. "We didn't mean into the water, silly!" said Minako, giggling.
"Ugh," said Yukari. "I'm soaked. This is the worst day." As she tried to climb the ladder, her track shorts got caught on something. She gave it a tug. R-iiiip. She pulled herself up.
Minako gasped. "Yukari!" she exclaimed, her hand over her mouth.
Yukari looked down. Her thin nightshirt clung to her breasts, her nipples clearly visible. Her shorts lay in ruins around her feet, revealing a pair of nearly transparent print panties, showing the outline of her lips down below. She felt her face burn up, as tears brimmed in her eyes. She pulled herself against Junpei. "Don't look, you idiot!"
Junpei placed Yukari's jacket around her. "Well, at least that came in handy," he said. "We can head out when you've had a chance to compose yourself."
