29 Princess Hold

She pulled her leg away as fast as she could and looked quite frightened. I said

"If they were dislocated, I was going to quickly relocate them without telling you"

"Don't talk about moving my bones around so easily! What would have happened if something had gone wrong? You're saying it like it's some kind of child's play!" Said Akatsuki-san with a scared expression on her face

"Don't worry, I've been to some first aid sessions before and I've learnt how to do it properly. It's actually pretty simple. I've even done it on my father when he twisted his leg while hiking"

But he did start crying because of the after pain. But I don't need to tell her that part

"Couldn't you have just let a doctor do it?"

"No, leaving it just like that will cause you more pain. We have no means of transport to go to the hospital right now so I wanted to finish it quickly so that it doesn't hurt anymore"

"Then you could've just told me if you were going to do it. I was super scared when you suddenly said you were going to twist my bones"

"If I had told you, you would've reacted the same way you're doing now. You would have never let me to do it, saying you're too scared"

She looked at me with doubting eyes and said

"One moment you jump in front of a moving bus and the next you casually talk about attaching joints. You're a pretty daring guy"

"I'll take that as a compliment"

I looked at a bench on the other side of the road

"I guess that place is okay"

"Huh?"

I bent down and went closer to her and said

"Please excuse me"

"Excuse you for wha-Kya!"

She let out a small shriek as I put my hand under her and lifted her up like a princess

"Hey what are you doing?! Let me go!"

She frantically moved her legs around and used her hands to push me away

"Let me down! I said let me down!"

Now she started pulling my hair aggressively

"Ow-Ow-Ow-Ow! Stop it! You're going to make me go bald!"

"Then let me go!"

"It's not what you're thinking. I'm just going to let you sit on that bench over there"

She glanced at the bench which was at the other side of the road. She then looked back and pulled me by the collar and said

"I-I can do it on my own! Being in a princess hold is embarrassing! What if someone sees us?"

So she was embarrassed rather than being scared a guy picked her up. Looks like I fully gained her trust now

"I don't care if others see us. They can assume whatever they want"

She became flustered and let go of my collar

"Wh-Wh-What are you saying-"

"Other people's opinion don't matter to me. Right now you're in need of help and that takes number one priority"

She then said in a meek voice

"But I can just walk there on my own"

"You probably can't. You got hurt near the bottom of your feet. So if your wound touched your slipper while walking it will really hurt and could cause a infection. We need to cover up the wound if you want to walk. I can't apply first aid on the road so I'm bringing you to that bench...So do you need any more explanation?"

Her eyes wandered around in a coy way and she said

"I-I guess not"

"Then stop moving around like that. I might drop you since my hands are already tired"

She suddenly glared at me with irritation and her fierce eyes were back. She pulled my collar again and shouted

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!? ARE YOU SAYING I'M FAT?!"

Crap! She asked the taboo question that must not be asked
