I'm guessing Senpai ended up double-booking his schedule? but It seems alcohol solves everything, as I remember Homer Simpson once quoted

It looks more like his planned meetings couldn't stand up to the thirsty eyes of Kouhai-chan

There's a man who has his priorities straight.

Am I the only one wondering the following?

1. What were they doing that took them out of the office far enough that they'd pass near a bar?

2. How come, even five days afterwards, there are far less comments on this post than is usual for this series?

3. When are the artist commentaries for this post as well as the preceding one going to have their translations finished?

Thanks, @Moonspeaker!

It's Japan, they may well have an office a few floors above the bar, itself. Considering the stereotype for Japanese businessman drinking, I'd fully expect bars to be wherever the offices are.

Beyond that, I can only speak for myself, but I haven't been spending much time on Danbooru this week.

I can't believe it took me until now to realize that there's one bit of text still untranslated, at the very top-middle of the first panel.

Huh. Good point.

If they are doing sales, which is most likely, they are going to have to be outside a lot. And I mean a lot.
So, if those little trips come to be extended after working time, they can choose to either going back to company or just go "straight" home.
I don't know if non-Japan-related companies are like that, but how I see it, it's pretty normal of a thing.

Can anyone make out what the kanji are in the top middle of the first panel?

It's 報告書, meaning they needed to go back to the company to finish a report. But Kouhai-chan ruined the plan.
