Chapter 3: Someone!? (Extra Chapter for Tips) (Continued)

My stamina was draining fast, so it was easy to find some sports drinks, like those that replenished electrolytes, as well as bottled water and mineral water.

There were even more snacks: bread, instant noodles, candy, chocolate, and the like.
