“Studying during break time?”

I leave the office and head to the break room to take a slightly late break.

I walk around a bit unsteadily, carrying the materials for the software I’ve been studying lately.

I think, “Studying during break time...?” but right now I want to use even the smallest pockets of time to increase what I can do.

...The smell of coffee? With that thought, I open the break room door and find Kosame-san there.

He seems to be reading a book intently; on the desk sits the coffee rumored to be his favorite, filling the air with a nice aroma.

“...Oh? Studying even though it’s break time?”

Kosame-san notices me and calls out, his usual gentle smile dazzling.

“Take it easy, okay? You look busy, and if you wear yourself out, it’ll be rough later.”

And yet I can’t help laughing to myself, since the senpai saying that is studying too...
