Why this phrase
POV: drugstore in late-August 残暑. Kofuku plays the wilted tourist. Hana plays the pharmacist. Sports drinks sit in the fridge. The heat-stroke shelf is a pharmaceutical box: 「経口補水液」, oral rehydration (OS-1 and the generic copies). Ask for that, not a random bottle from the cold case. ACCURACY GUARD: ポカリ, アクエリアス, and ゲータレード ARE sold in Japan. This is not 'they will not give you a sports drink'. It is 'when you describe heat illness, staff reach for oral rehydration, because the salt-sugar ratio is the medical one'. Catalog already has 「熱中症かもしれません」; this is the product you walk out with. TONE GUARD: Hana is looking after him, not scolding. Warm, a little funny about the white box.
