3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmn3Gm0k6d
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMm4T5gFlE
The place was eerily quiet—most of the gang members had already fled, either from Nagini's furious attack or from the wooden clubs of local youths who had had enough of the gang's extortion and intimidation.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbOlmLGQT1
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx4xmH1Mxg
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEFU7u0gHA
A clean-shaven man in a crisp police uniform stepped out of the patrol car, eyes sharp as a hawk.
His name was Burhanudin, rank: Inspector (Iptu).
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3I30v3rnlb
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs1FR405ll
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhnRKqeHVK
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbHIrbnpun
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvmHRftDO5
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkSV6XuvKb
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscYcTDznan
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35avZwk1Hz
Nagini: "Yes."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr1JB6JGX3
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJUwPAsICZ
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtUauOGaQE
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KfTk6D1ZH
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM13b5d8SG
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRSxfI3h9D
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mvAvpsscJ
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAtVDCN9Kf
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r8zCnbWcZ
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQlJgOn2xq
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL7uv3iLdG
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgScsvyGNx
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtL40lyTXZ
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mjChCeaXl
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWeejBc7iJ
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OfTFFJBQR
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVr4UdYFOXm
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI953pRcbet
He joked.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg9LsabcTs
Nagini: "Yes."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SW2O4AJRT
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iQ6veaWan
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJMJbdjkqT
Nagini: "Yes!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmwLSgzwI9
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe7xrPNGQW
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAethdxvjju
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwjYCqqXN0
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lpiTc8J0N
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnXsXppSvK
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsujRBa2z9H
Nagini simply nodded.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Fb7LN08VZ
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrA9h83wEN
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mbiTA3J0C
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQw1PRfDmI
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsARePEZ1n
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vcgeF8UIV
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL5K5MlxpW
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA9evSfQFL
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYxOQD5oEG
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZICMdkwHc
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t538PWC2t
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xXEiKu7Ok
Burhan: "We'll take one."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3odUZSevUr
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hPmyA9a7R
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaMkOoXmVL
Burhan: "No."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApdb6OF3jk
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgzI72D5zL
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTLT2ajP0p
Burhan: "For my work partner."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TId2nZsLe
Karmini smirked slightly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktU3ikwDGg
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O0d495gvs
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpc100CsL1
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvlL7GJCOd
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoPw8a6Ei7
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabOjkpiRxR
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzwhJ0lOxG
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftIuTyETIv
Burhan glanced at her.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkjPHbuETB
Burhan: "Beautiful."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc57gAVoQGg
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTeFmOP9mN
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdLsnFpcgM
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzNnVvT1NN
Burhan nodded.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg5V15xOJ0
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDSYLiC7NC
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxNrBkaaHw
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GTv7rBZ20
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh1mcHeBay
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViwqJJXimN
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fc9UIql0q
Burhan: "I like you."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB5fiPQBPF
Nagini was a bit startled.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOz9C1kctgX
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMocMTi1IhF
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgurYGUdoHQ
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJb1UuO1a4
Burhan: "You've told me."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYYVeTnz4w
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzMVFchh8Y
Burhan: "And I don't care."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rkrxuBj0L
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl19K8NxZI
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrohJJ1PYWM
Burhan chuckled. The "grandma–grandson" joke might actually hold some truth—Nagini had jumped nearly five centuries forward, so Burhan could indeed be a descendant.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDsvFQRTXa
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7tnJhJuBI
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXi78B0Ro
The two of them then walked back toward the large building of a café.
Before entering, Nagini read the sign above the door that said:
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpDvNDd0fk
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mmxLNY1GR
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurBDv43V1L
Wealthy businessmen, council members, government officials, police officers, and university students often mingled here.
Some came to talk business, politics, or art,
but most just came to show off their wealth: luxury cars, sparkling jewelry, and branded goods.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxAD0svSZu
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAeW9T1z6T
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSu8aqZ1t
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7zGI5f0GY
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBIoqgpg6W
A young waitress approached.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqRMfEM5YH
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR96XBvxYY8
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAaK8INZkZ
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jL9WWsf9S
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP1gkR903w
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8EmueDZ0p
Suddenly—
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKLYrahcuZ
"Hands up!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QDlmctD4N
"Don't move!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsvCoW6NRS
"This is a robbery!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLsR5pLcf9
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW5vOyEr3o
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WmEoiGaxu
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL5NZFKx86
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

3-7 Poisoned Needle vs. Bullet
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIv0GGahgT
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb0IirWHNN
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Z6eUrhbej
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WhqAReMMH
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQit2sl8zg8
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMcWtCpOLY
Seeing Burhan's worried expression, Nagini began to understand the danger.
Her mystical and supernatural instincts kicked in, making her hyper-aware of the threat.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fIf9Wg3dZ
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ElNrz3Cov
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe7eqqF8s4
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0pLhEL0sy
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMMi4J7ezu
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcZyx40ium
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY1L91m3c7
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfiMFquKi0
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j7KVLhlxc
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRssPKACvg
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrig90RhaF
Bang!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0D6xjmbSG
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXVHPvs2CI
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ZR2rS8Le
Whoosh!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4sm3ZCXIj
The needle sliced through the air—

Clang!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxl6aaDb8u
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsClesgXsXb
As if swallowed by a mystical wind, the bullet lost all its force and dropped harmlessly just centimeters from the old lady's head.

The robbers froze. Fear began to creep into their eyes behind the black masks. With a trembling voice, one of them tried to hide his growing dread.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5VsHHcLMp
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcXKdpIRGP
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqMUAnSEdH
Nagini: "I did."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTMDXb4OUS
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8LUgHFmYp
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YrgvzkNkA
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItM2l4Jokl
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1wZz3Zc5l
Screams erupted as chaos took over.

But Nagini was already in motion. Her hands moved with lightning speed, releasing ten poisoned needles with full force.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANxYCX7Kyo

A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMa6Melf17

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM5VYbn6TS
Each needle collided midair with a bullet, snuffing out its force. The bullets dropped harmlessly to the floor.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc4i0hrkvX
The four robbers stared in shock, their legs shaking. Their fierce bravado melted into pure terror, like lions suddenly turned into house cats.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79cZv9SdW3
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2ixQVHwa1
The small one holding the bag of stolen goods fared the worst—her hands shook, and a dark patch spread down her pants. She had wet herself.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBbrWLC2M
One robber's voice trembled.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm30Sby3pwQ

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLnoLVBgSm

Not far from the University of Indonesia campus stood a towering forty-story apartment building. At its top, glowing letters read:

On the fourth floor, one modest but cozy room stood out.

A neatly made bed, a wardrobe in the corner, and a small study desk by the window.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5klPfAyZ5
Through that window, the city stretched wide, its twinkling lights scattered among high-rise buildings. In the distance, the Monas monument stood proudly, its crown plated with thirty-five kilograms of gold.

Inside, two young women sat side by side. They were identical twins—round faces, flowing curly hair, slender builds. Both wore pink leather jackets paired with tight black pants.

The slightly taller one was Rani. The shorter one, Rina. For strangers, telling them apart was nearly impossible.

Though it wasn't yet eight o'clock, the sidewalks to campus were nearly deserted. Cars passed only occasionally.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aCmFtScYO
The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CJC1meWZa
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhVYo9HZIM
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqlnJ2ydKL
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6QmQmV4gE
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaFPdw2ylA
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe66iI2Nazo
They looked like troublemakers.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoWhtXHWLp
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxRfaH3L4N
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsHIdiOQhp
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUwj6nNwwH
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF3CwM8f4N
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXEU25gJ0C
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn4EEc4BVw
One short, stocky man with chubby cheeks, narrow eyes, a protruding belly, and skin the color of roasted coffee—Martoyo—pointed at the twins and called out.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sM2rv7wWk
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvelOtkr83E
Three others immediately turned to stare.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqIkn9nAWu
One was small and skinny, with wild eyes, long hair, and tattooed arms. His name was Misnan, and he was the most aggressive of them all.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyicb4OyIpV
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyM2TBYdOe
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nJoEMGOsK
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrytLa69Fcr
A tall, broad-shouldered young man with long wavy hair stepped forward. His name was Gendon.
His thick lips looked like they belonged to a tilapia fish, made even more ridiculous by the thick mustache almost covering them.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeMzegQL0U
He held a hansip nightstick (Civil security officer's baton) on his shoulder and yawned lazily.
Despite his intimidating appearance, Gendon was… well… not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcX0smkjkF
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1fQVmh41q
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti20KcPYT4
Only Misno didn't join the teasing—though his eyes stayed glued to the twins' faces, and his throat made a loud, audible Glegh! as he swallowed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4m6zRIgru
Misno was a lanky guy with messy curly hair, thick lips, wide eyes, and a thin mustache. His clothes were neat… but he smelled strongly of dried salted fish. Pretty women were his weakness, and whenever he saw one, his gulp reflex kicked in.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZLmRxtJ0w
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfkI9QOnCe
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo38G0Wz6n
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo9HtKfVKU
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKUfIAHJm1
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgvBJccpS7
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1Qsm6ULl
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Za9CQNiA
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX41r9Qpi5
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjw9kVr0a0
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyviIwGrP5l
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD2YT6C8oZ
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjNiIWXoNv
Misno? Still Glegh!.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1O2x4CTxj3
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jWZZ7rkdc
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDJyyxtDAm
Tep!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86QdpGZlse
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGd1chJyK4
Crack!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvfMzqqIky
Misnan: "Ow!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyTfMTUuZH
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtdTwZn4qp
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73bGrGyAAI
Thwack!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ73aBUlQr
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZD2NR7R5M
Blugh!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMhlt57xOC
Martoyo: "Ow!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo92Unvxv7q
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2WlKzf4Lx
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tMAON62ey
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7auZMkXbfd
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdEFjqplOR
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4a0bEbD0T
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXynzGNb14
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk9MfJJvrR
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7J6Kh89mt
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoZuuip5Sr
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP87hVZI5Su
The big man crumpled to the ground—cheeks swollen, head sprouting three new lumps, stomach aching, and lips puffier than ever, as if he'd been run over by a train.

3-15 Misno Runs Away
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRUauDBHOy
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c0mu6sMCu
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJreJoOQwi
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPxfj6EIY1
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Cx2pqN0H
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKm8vUuwwM
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6sDZ9ieZO
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
