Yukari attempts to scale the fence.

(Chapter originally by Phantom Pen at writing.com)

It seemed as if trying to find an alternate way off the roof was no use. The fence surrounded the roof completely and had no apparent gaps or weak points to squeeze through. Yukari noted with an inward sigh that this made sense. After all, the Kirijo Group wasn't one to cut corners, especially if cutting a corner could pose a safety risk to students. Unfortunately for Yukari, the Kirijo safety standards meant she was stuck in a nasty situation. Or was she?

Out of the corner of her eye, Yukari saw what just might be her ticket to freedom. Past the fence, one the roof of another wing of the school, was what looked like a trap door. That must be a maintenance hatch, Yukari figured. Since access to such a thing would be obscured from the student body, the odds were good that wherever it led to was in a secluded spot of the school. Yukari could at the very least use that as a hiding place until she could get her bearings and form a proper escape plan. Of course, this meant climbing the fence, which meant using her hands, which meant leaving her chest exposed...

Still, the roof was empty and Yukari doubted that anybody in a taller building would decide to look out the window, down on Gekkoukan, see her on the roof, and see her clearly enough to tell that she was topless. Now, if that person was using a telescope or something, that would be a different story. But what kind of weirdo spies on the city with a telescope? No, this was the only option available, and Yukari wasn't about to let her mind jump to awful conclusions and scare her into staying put. With a deep breath, Yukari firmly grasped the fence and began to hoist herself up.

Yukari was sure she was quite a sight. A fit young woman climbing a fence, her breasts swinging free in the midday sun, and her short skirt not doing much to help her lower half as she scaled the fence. All the better that she was the only person around. If anybody she knew saw her like this, she'd just die of embarrassment, she knew it. Sadly for Yukari, her appearance was going to get worse before it had a chance of getting better.

After reaching the top of the fence, Yukari swiftly flung her legs around and steadied herself. Taking a moment to prepare her thoughts and legs, Yukari carefully loosened her grip on the fence and hopped off towards the maintenance hatch.

rrrrriiiiip!

Yukari knew something was wrong before she hit the ground. The moment she had let go of the fence, she felt the fabric resisting. One of the fence posts must have caught when she was pulling her legs over the side, and now Yukari had paid the price for failing to notice. It was certainly impossible not to notice now as Yukari became acutely aware of the draftier feeling around her hips. With a sense of dread, Yukari looked up toward where she had just jumped off and saw her nightmare. Dangling from the fence was a now ruined-
