General Affairs Office

All right, thank you for taking care of it.

One more thing, Katase-san.

Here's a little something...

It's for everyone in Product Development.

Thank you so much!

Cookies, cookies...

Sweet and yummy...

I am exhausted.

So much to do and learn when you're new...

Shinozaki-san.

S-Senpai?!

Taking a break?

Y-Yes.

Should I have told her first?

S-Sorry, I'll get right back to work—

Um...

Senpai?

Shinozaki-san.

Y-Yes?

Which do you prefer: bears or bunnies?

Which is it? Bears or bunnies?

Bears or bunnies...?

Right. Which is it?

I-If I had to choose, bears, I think...

Understood.

Here!

What is this?

A little pick-me-up.

People tend to get peckish and run-down around this time.

Someone from general affairs gave these to me,

and I'm going to share them with everyone else later on...

But you get yours early, Shinozaki-san!

Just don't tell anyone, okay?

There's a senpai where I work... who is tiny and cute.

My Tiny Senpai

#02 Despite Appearances, I'm More the Big Sister Type.

Good morning.

I guess I'm first in, today.

Aw...

Good morning.

Senpai never leaves her stuff on her desk like that.

G-Good morning...

S-S-Senpai?!

Yes.

What are you doing?!

I... just...

dropped this pen...

Let me get out of your way!

I'd appreciate that.

Senpa...

Senpai's breasts!

Sorry! I'm so sorry! Let me move right now!

You don't have to panic! It's okay!

What a lovely morning you two are having.

I-It's not what you think! It's just a coincidence!

You, too, Hayakawa?!

I think that dirty thoughts are bad.

Seriously, it's just a coincidence!

Senpai, were the documents I submitted okay?

Give me a second and I can check.

What the—?!

Did I mess up?

These documents...

You did a really good job!

Good boy!

U-Um, Senpai...?

Very, very good.

Senpai...

My subordinates at work get along very well.

You worked hard, huh?

Honestly...

It's not that big a deal...

Would an ordinary pair of coworkers get along like that?

I never want to miss a chance to offer praise!

It feels a little more significant than that.

More than coworkers, it's like they're...

Scouting a location for a drinking party?

Right. I was supposed to go, but something came up kind of abruptly.

Sure, I can do that.

What a relief. Please do.

And since the more opinions, the better, why don't you join him, Katase-san?

Yay, I'd love to!

I wonder what kind of place it is.

I hope the food is tasty!

It's supposed to be the top floor of this building.

This should be fun!

Since our manager chose it, I bet it's pretty fancy.

I know what you mean, the night view is bound to be pretty.

Good, smooth sailing so far...

Now they just need to keep it up, after going into the restaurant.

I think I might be a little drunk...

S-Senpai...

I'm not letting you go home tonight.

I wouldn't want to.

Shinozaki-san, I...

Senpai... I...

That was a close one. I almost let my own fantasy fry my brain.

Manager?

Hayakawa-san?!

I thought you said you had sudden business to attend to?

Oh, I get it.

You're curious, too, aren't you, Hayakawa-san?

He's your childhood friend, and coworker...

Wait, no!

How could I be so cruel?!

If you need anything, you know who to ask.

Why am I even included?! I don't need that kind of support!

What, really?

Seriously, Shinozaki and I just go way back!

Seriously?

Seriously.

I see...

Why do you seem disappointed?

Well, be that as it may,

since you're here anyway, you should join me. Let's go!

Wha...

You have reservations, correct? We're pleased to have you.

Right this way.

Sneak, sneak, sneak...

How did I get roped into this?

Please, have a seat.

These are our special tables that let you enjoy the night view.

I'll be back for your order in a bit.

How's that? Getting dropped into those couples seats must be pretty exciting, right?

This should bring the two of them closer together, and...

Not a lot of restaurants with side-by-side seating.

He didn't catch on!

This menu is huge, I don't know where to start.

She's focused on food!

I've never eaten somewhere like this before.

Neither have I.

It's what I'd expect from our manager, though. He's really got style.

They're not getting what I was going for, but they seem happy, so I guess it's okay?!

You're really enjoying this, Manager.

You bet I am!

You see...

The thing is...

Nothing makes me happier than cheering on someone else's love life.

I think our boss might be a weirdo.

This is rough, though...

I thought the couples seating would get their pulses pounding.

Oh, check it out, Senpai. Over there!

What is it?

That's our office right there, isn't it?

Where?! I want to see!

I knew it! It's easier to see from up here!

S-Senpai... s-so close...

a-and her....

b-b-boobs are...!

Is everything okay?

Yes, it's a nice view...

Smooth move, Katase-san!

Are you okay, Shinozaki-san? Your face is red.

Yes, that's the spirit!

Uh, yes, it's just, kinda hot in here, y'know?

Now, Shinozaki-kun just needs to do something to thrill Katase-san...

That's it... just a little more...

That was a big meal.

Yeah! And it all was great.

Well, we've got work tomorrow. Maybe we should wrap it up for tonight.

Oh, man, it's that late already?

I was hoping we could stay a bit longer. That's a shame.

You wanted to stay together... longer?

Does that mean...?

Let me walk you to the station.

Oh, right! Thank you.

Everything okay?

I-It's fine!

What was I thinking...?

Um, Senpai?

Uh, well.. it's... um...

I knew you had it in you, Shinozaki-kun!

Whoa, Manager! Please don't turn to sugar grains on me!

Thank you for walking me to the station!

See you tomorrow, Senpai!

My Tiny Senpai.

Morning, Shinozaki.

Hey, good morning.

An umbrella?

The weather didn't mention rain, did it?

Oh, this...

Your lucky item today is an umbrella!

Carry one, and unexpected fortune may find you.

So it said.

I see.

Thank goodness I brought an umbrella...

Senpai... Did she not bring an umbrella?

Excuse me!

Would you like to share mine?

Yes!

Sharing an umbrella with Senpai...

Man, this really is lucky!

B-But... I'm so nervous, I've barely said anything...

Your shoulder is getting wet, Shinozaki-san.

Oh, I'm sorry if I worried you!

W-Well...

h-how did you end up as my senpai, anyway?

By working at our company first.

That makes sense!

What kind of animals do you like, Senpai?!

Cats!

I knew that!

This is awful! I suck at talking!

Shinozaki-san! You don't have to force yourself to talk.

I'm enjoying walking home together as it is.

R-Right...

Come to think of it, you always speak up when a meeting gets quiet, don't you?

Yeah. I start to panic when no one is talking...

It's even more nerve-wracking with the section chief in attendance.

He looks so scary... I know he's actually nice, though.

I know exactly what you mean!

I wish I knew how to get over being so nervous.

I'd hate for it to cause trouble.

You don't need to be so tense about it.

Everybody learns how these things work as time goes on.

Besides, the chief has mentioned how the way you ask a lot of questions

makes it easier for everyone else to speak up.

Th-That's great to hear.

Oh, sorry, I wanted to stop by the book store before heading home, so I'll be going now.

In that case, if you want, you can take my umbrella.

I had a great time talking!

Let's give it our all at work again, tomorrow, Shinozaki-san.

See you then!

She had one all along?!

Huh?

Is Shinozaki-san taking the day off?

He's sick, apparently. Called in this morning.

Oh, I see...

Your shoulder is getting wet, Shinozaki-kun.

Oh, I'm sorry!

Want to check up on him?

Wh-Why would I do that?!

Well, he is your only kohai, after all!

He's mentioned that living on his own is proving to be a handful.

Still not going down...

Well, it's my own fault for going into shock in the middle of the rain.

Coming...

How are you feeling, Shinozaki-san?

Senpai?! You went out of your way to visit me?!

Oh, come now.

I was just in the neighborhood.

And you've been out for three days, so I was worried,

and I heard living on your own was rough for you,

so I brought some supplies.

Thank you so much. That is really thoughtful...

How about I make something for you?

What is even happening...?

I feel crazy-happy.

There you go.

Thank you for the food.

It's good!

I'm glad you like it!

I'll tidy up and do some laundry, too.

Thanks again.

Oh, wait, my underwear!

I really appreciate you doing all this.

Oh, it's all right.

Despite appearances, I'm more the big sister type.

I am so, incredibly, crazily happy right now,

I don't even want to get better anymore.

Well, sorry to intrude. Make sure to stay warm, and get some more rest, okay?

You're a real life-saver, Senpai.

Come to think of it, what were in you in the neighborhood for?

To see a movie with a friend.

Huh? But the theater is in the opposite direction of my house from the train station...

W-Well, uh,

I'm running short on time, so...

I messed up...

Maybe I got too excited, because he's my only kohai.

I guess I'll buy something microwaveable...

Simple, Delicious Recipe Book! What to make when someone's sick

Maybe something to cook, too.

Mission accomplished!

A present for Senpai?

Well, it's less a present and more...

A token of my thanks?

Thanks for what?

She came over and looked after me when I was sick.

She even cooked for me.

Maybe I should get something unobtrusive, like candy.

Are you stupid?!

Why would you give someone who went to your house and cooked for you when you were sick

the same gift you'd pass onto a business partner for the Bon holiday?!

A business Bon gift?!

Well? Was the food good?

Yeah, very much so.

I-It was downright delicious....

And I think she likes to cook.

Then get her an apron, and say "Please come and cook for me again!"

Where did that come from?!

Isn't it considered rude to give non-consumables since they take up space?

I say you need to give her something that will stick around and remind her of you.

Remind her of what, exactly?!

What should I do?

I ended up actually buying one on impulse, but I think...

This might be a lot harder to casually hand to her!

Maybe I should go with candy after all.

Good morning.

G-G-Good morning, Senpai!

What's wrong? You seem anxious.

Well, it's nothing, really...

Th-The gift! I need to give it to her!

But what if she thinks it's too much?

Then again, I don't think Senpai would feel that way...

Excuse me!

Thank you very much for the other day.

I got this for you...

Um... I'm sorry if you don't like it...

An apron?

It's too much, isn't it?!

Thank you so much!

Thank goodness, she seems to like it...

W-Well...

I'm sure you'll look nice in it,

so I hope you'll use it at home.

You wouldn't mind me coming by your house again?

I-I meant at your own house, not mine...

Oh, right! That makes sense. Sorry about that.

That was such a silly assumption to make...

Though, if you wouldn't mind, Senpai...

I'd be really glad to have you over again.

Well... Someday might be nice.

Right, well... whenever is good for you.

You two want the afternoon off?

Manager, give it a rest!
