Third Person POV

Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap! Boboiboy swiftly jumped, launching himself and the boy into the air, earning quite a loud yell of fear from the latter. Boboiboy chuckled to himself while the boy yelled once more as they were descending to the ground, the small cottages, buildings, and houses below them growing larger and larger.

"We're falling down, Mister Hero!" Totoitoy yelled at the top of his lungs, his grip on Boboiboy growing tighter. "Aren't you going to do something?! We're going to end up splat!"

Boboiboy smiles brightly at the boy, "No need to be scared, Totoitoy! I promise that all will be fine!"

"Are you sure?! Cause we really are getting closer to the ground!" Totoitoy exclaimed, panic and obvious fear laced all over his tone.

"Have a little faith! I am the mysterious hero!"

"I know that but- Aaaaah! Watch out! There's a kite!"

Without even breaking a sweat, he swiftly dodged the kite. Boboiboy then glanced at the boy in his arms, who currently, was drained of all colors and was as pale as a sheet. At the sight of this, he began to laugh, earning him a look from the boy. However, the look only made Boboiboy laugh even harder and as moments passed by, Totoitoy glared at him.

"Stop laughing! It wasn't funny!"

He hummed, "For you, maybe." A grin formed on his lips. "But to me, it's hilarious. We should try it again when we have the opportunity."

Totoitoy stared at him blankly, "You've ruined my image of the mysterious hero."

Boboiboy only smiled in response, his gaze moved from the boy to the ground below them. Although they were falling slower than average, the town was getting increasingly larger in size at a rapid pace. Totoitoy who now remembered they were falling, had a look of horror.

"Mister Hero! We're nearing the ground!"

"I know."

"Won't we end up like meat splatter if you don't do something?!"

Boboiboy looked at him curtly, a grin formed on his lips. "We won't."

As they were meters away from the streets, Boboiboy took a deep breath and began to chant strange words. Striking dark blue streaks appeared on his arms and glowing brightly under his clothing. The wind around them gathered, growing thicker and thicker. Totoitoy looked at this wonder with wide eyes and an open mouth, his disbelief clearly present on his face. Boboiboy, on the other hand, didn't take notice of this and continued to chant. The thick air enveloped them, their pace towards the streets grew increasingly slower.

Boboiboy quickly held out his hand towards one of the buildings, the dark blue streaks on his arms flew towards the building's roof, sticking unto the unruly stone. A symbol in shape of a cyclone formed, steady winds seeping out of it. When the symbol glowed brightly, the course of their fall, instead of the streets, immediately headed to the building, as if the thick wind around them was magnified.

"Hold on!"

And Boom! The two of them crashed into the roof, clouds of dust surrounded them.

"Are you alright?" Boboiboy asked, coughing a few times before scanning the boy for any injuries.

Totoitoy nodded quickly, "I'm alright! Your wind magic made cushioned me perfectly!"

"That's good to know." He gazed at the crowded streets below and then said "It looks like there are a lot of people around. Should I just bring you home directly?"

Totoitoy thought for a moment, his brows furrowing with the serious look on his face, Boboiboy found it very cute for a kid to have such a face. After a few minutes, Totoitoy finally spoke. "My sister said it dangerous to show strangers where I live... but I guess it should be fine since it's Mister Hero."

Boboiboy smiled, he opened his mouth but was cut off by the little boy. "B-but! Don't get interested with my sister, okay? Even if it's Mister Hero, I won't accept any boys flirting with her!"

"I promise I won't flirt with your sister." Boboiboy laughed inwardly, the boy's love for his sister sure was big.

Totoitoy eyed him, distrust twinkling in his eyes. "...Pink swear! If you break your promise, you'll have to chop off your finger!"

Boboiboy grinned and easily accepted the promise, "Alright."

Without much thought, the two intertwined their pinkies. Totoitoy let out a sigh of relief while Boboiboy looked at him amused. His condition wasn't really difficult, rather than that, it was as easy as pie. As a prince, Boboiboy has met countless of beautiful women, most of them being his queen candidates. You could say that he was practically immune to beauty. Another beautiful woman wouldn't catch his attention.

"So which part of town do you live?"

Totoitoy smiled at him happily, obviously satisfied with the hero's pinky promise. "I live near the big statue!"

"Statue? Ah! The plaza. You live closer than I thought, that's a few minutes away." Boboiboy said as he lifted Totoitoy in his arms.

"Oh really? A few minutes? How come it took me half an hour to arrive at this streets? ...Am I really that small?" Totoitoy wondered aloud as Boboiboy grinned at him.

"It's only a few minutes away cause we're using magic. For someone your age who can't use magic yet, it will naturally take that long to travel." Boboiboy couldn't help but answer the boy's thoughts.

Totoitoy's eyes sparkled, "Wooooooah! Magic is really convenient!"

"Yup." Boboiboy's eyes grew distant. "It is..." Before Totoitoy could even notice, it disappeared in a flash and cheerful expression appeared on his face.

"Let's get going, shall we? After all we don't want that pretty sister of yours worrying." Wind gathered on his feet, slowly they began to rise from the stone roof.

"This is so awesome- Hey! Wait a minute! What did you say about my sister-"

Before he could even finish his sentence, they were soaring in the skies. The speed of their launch was too fast that he could only blink in silence. What was that just now? That... wasn't that too quick?! He didn't even notice! Totoitoy glanced at Boboiboy, who seemed to be absorb in his thoughts.

Did he underestimate his ability? Aiyah, this guy is too amazing. Totoitoy began to regret his decision. "This guy will definitely win over sister's heart..." He thought, his spirit becoming gloomy.

Oblivious to the thoughts that ran in the other party was Boboiboy, who stared at the streets below filled with life. His eyes filled with envy when he saw the happy faces of the villagers, laughing so carelessly without a worry as they spoke to the different people around them. He couldn't help the bitter feeling inside his chest. "If only I wasn't born royalty..." Boboiboy then shook the thought away. He shouldn't feel that way, he was lucky to be privileged at birth, there are many who envy his spot.

However, as his gaze stayed longer on the town, the bitter feeling only grew. The envious thoughts echoed in his head, he smiled thinly.

Truly, what an ungrateful man he was...
