A few minutes later, the school nurse returned.
I immediately explained the situation to the nurse, and she examined Sasaki-san’s foot. It was diagnosed as a mild sprain, and the nurse applied tape to her foot.
However, she recommended that Sasaki-san get a proper examination at the hospital just to be safe, so her parents are coming to pick her up by car and take her to the hospital.
So, before Sasaki-san’s parents arrived, I went back to the classroom to get her belongings and returned to the infirmary. The nurse brought over her change of clothes from the girls’ volleyball club room.
And now, under the pretext of killing time until Sasaki-san’s parents arrived, I was spending time with Sasaki-san as her conversation partner, chatting about trivial matters as we usually do.
And then after some time of this casual conversation…
「…Ah, my mother says she’s waiting in the car in front of the school gate.」
Sasaki-san said to me while looking at her smartphone. It seems her parents have arrived at the school gate.
「I see, I see. Then make sure to get properly checked at the hospital.」
「Yeah, I know.」
Sasaki-san nodded quietly at my words and put her smartphone back in her pocket. But then immediately…
「…H-Hey, Yamada.」
「Unn? What’s up?」
But then immediately, Sasaki-san called out to me with a bit of nervousness. Why is she nervous towards me now?
「Y-You see… um, a little while ago, Yamada, um… you said that I could rely on you anytime, right?」
「Eh? Ahh, yeah, I did say that… ah! Do you have something you want me to do?」
「Y-Yeah. U-Um, well… there’s something I want to ask you to do…」
「Sure! Of course, I’ll do anything I can! So what is it??」
I said to Sasaki-san with a big smile. I didn’t know what the request was, but I was willing to accept any request from her.
As I continued to smile broadly, Sasaki-san, who had been looking nervous, seemed to steel herself and made this request.
「U-Um… t-then, could you… carry me to the school gate…?」
「…Eh?」
That was Sasaki-san’s request.
「U-Umm… is that all you wanted to ask?」
I couldn’t help but ask back.
Because she seemed so nervous, I thought it would be a more serious request… so I felt a bit anticlimactic.
「W-What’s with that reaction? I-Is it not okay?」
「Eh, no, it’s totally fine… but why were you so nervous? It’s not really a request to be that nervous about, right?」
「Eh… ehh!? Umm… t-that’s because…」
「Unn? Because?」
「B-Because… umm… I-I want you to carry me… like before, in a p-princess carry…」
Sasaki-san said this with her face bright red. It seems she wants to be carried in a princess carry, not a piggyback.
「Haha, what, it’s just that.」
「J-Just that, you say…! I-It’s a very big deal for me!」
「I-Is it? T-Then, umm… sorry for laughing.」
「Eh? Ah, n-no, I’m sorry… I’m not angry at Yamada or anything! I-I mean, um… ah! I-I thought a piggyback might be a bit scary… s-so I feel safer and more secure being carried in a princess carry like before… t-that’s it!」

When I apologized, Sasaki-san shook her head vigorously and explained quickly. Well, she’s saying a lot, but basically, she wants to be princess carried.
「Alright, got it. Then I’ll make sure to carry you properly so you don’t feel anxious.」
「Nnn…」
I said that and slowly crouched down in front of Sasaki-san, spreading my arms to support her back and the back of her knees.
「U-Umm… what should I do next…?」
「Ahh, Sasaki-san, put your hands on my shoulders… yeah, just like that. You can hold on tighter if you want.」
「Eh!? H-Hold on tighter…? U-Umm, like this…?」
「Yeah, that’s perfect! Then I’m going to stand up now… here we go!」
「Wa, wawah!」
As I stood up, Sasaki-san let out a surprised voice. The grip of her hands on my shoulders tightened a bit.
「Ahh… are you okay? Was it scary?」
「Eh!? Ah, no… I’m totally fine! B-But, you… um… are you okay? I think I might be heavier than other girls…」
Sasaki-san said this with a worried expression.
「Unn, I’ve never lifted another girl before, so I can’t compare… but you’re not as heavy as you think, you know? I can lift you easily, so don’t worry about it.」
「T-That’s a lie! B-Because… when I compared with my friends during the physical check-up, I was definitely heavier than everyone else…」
「Eh, is that so? Unn, but that’s simply because Sasaki-san’s breas…」
「Eh? Breas?」
「Eh… ahh!? N-No, it’s nothing! Forget it!」
I almost said that it’s simply because Sasaki-san’s breasts are bigger than other girls’, so that’s reflected in her weight.
But if I said that to her face, it would be 120% sexual harassment, so I stopped myself just in time. That was close, I almost got labeled a pervert by Sasaki-san…
「Umm, well, you might have your own thoughts about this… but I think Sasaki-san is really light! So don’t worry about me!」
「O-Okay. If Yamada says so… yeah, I’ll believe you.」
「Great. Alright, let’s head to the school gate like this!」
「Yeah, please do.」
「Okay, then… here we go.」
And so, I left the infirmary while princess carrying Sasaki-san, and slowly walked down the hallway towards the school gate.
Then Sasaki-san looked around with curiosity.
「This is amazing… fufu, I really feel like a princess.」
「Ahaha, I’m glad you like it. But if this is all it takes, I can do it anytime, you know?」
「Eh? R-Really?」
「Yeah, of course. I’m always grateful to Sasaki-san, after all. So if you ever want to be princess carried again, just let me know.」
I said this with a smile. Then Sasaki-san returned a happy smile to me.
「I see. Yeah, then… I’ll ask again, okay? You can’t take it back now that you’ve promised, okay?」
「Yeah. Of course. So… from now on, rely on me more, okay? If you’re in trouble, don’t hesitate to tell me anytime, okay?」
「…Yeah, got it. Thank you so much for today. So from now on… no, I’ll keep relying on you, Yamada…」
Sasaki-san said this to me with her face bright red and smiling very happily.
