Far from Romantic! "The Apothecary Diaries" Emergency Princess Carry Into a Waterfall Dive

Normally, a princess carry should be romantic, but in another sense, it's heart-pounding...? In episode 35 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," Maomao (CV: Aoi Yuki) and Jinshi (CV: Takeo Otsuka) evade an enemy attack with actions akin to those in an action film.

In episode 35, Jinshi goes hunting. However, he becomes unwell along the way and has to be nursed by Maomao near a waterfall. Suddenly, they are ambushed by gunshots from an unknown assailant. Jinshi swiftly carries Maomao in his arms and starts running, exclaiming, "Sorry! This might be a bit shocking!" as he leaps off a cliff. While falling to the waterfall basin far below, Maomao screams internally, "This is way more than just a bit!"

The situation, more heart-racing due to the life-threatening danger than the princess carry itself, caused online chatter to buzz with comments like "This is way more than just a bit!!!!" "He jumped while doing a princess carry," and "Princess carry dive."
