3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ZEUkIrDb
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCCA5Z7Lbg
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTcTw2mB1A
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZp9jctvHH
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4l6bkXG7S
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).
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeDnxXu7Yy
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw2mlOGuuP
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDuyr4M51r
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3lpgE8o3h
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OwDvuHSYS
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQZ4VZbuqb
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f9W6EGo10
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHX0ZVryl4
Nagini: "Yes."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaSZxQSgKn
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDSdyys7AZ
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsDKGKaGWA
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Uw2sMuRto
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZPEW8p1kd
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvA66q7U3Pt
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Pj0cxA1X
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio5MIYJXI3
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iMsBFQ16k
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhfjvTofs2
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjAdpEuqeF
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDAxnsKMSt
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWK1vyy41q5
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VZE9eSJPw
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrDtdbbOym
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe2qJInnG5
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNAho1um82
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29iXfXU9df
He joked.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGE3D67cPsC
Nagini: "Yes."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H2dX80Lwc
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrVwm8hEAf
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBzvKGYsSs
Nagini: "Yes!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VaLzPQiVP
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q6pBLy9QV
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjGGGs5epM
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOaIh2MBER
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtddLMI548O
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3SMguK5PH
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDDOMRH6U
Nagini simply nodded.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxDjZGHsyX
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFUOUEWOg0
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1th8juh7L0
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y2HM7Hmdb
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP01oMapkI6
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0N3eTN3Jl
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHbQbxg7x
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQQ49KdmYk
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcyr0t7tw4
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmnOZtCkYO
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSO5FGxWdc
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UOVWyCned
Burhan: "We'll take one."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYdxRHKHjN
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ojdZlRDF4
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy02sgyCs2S
Burhan: "No."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO81Jk9XA9
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY78i4470C
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvhIHY47DO
Burhan: "For my work partner."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3imVSlzoCN
Karmini smirked slightly.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk52AOdiBf
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6nCZ50dCX
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwtOjOfGiA
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvD0LE2vKM
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kGt20eVd2
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonwfImxD0W
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIzY8iOp8g
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eJY5xgVZM
Burhan glanced at her.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4TPxEvwJy
Burhan: "Beautiful."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0xKlhC51M
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjYOEpTY1o
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8wDl5y4Np
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuzizIio2A
Burhan nodded.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0As9vbl5Q
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM8gNOxuw8
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WD1VmV7vL
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHH3MOUjiG
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOGlwlfRQh
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUj1Y19jVW
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPThGOcy3X
Burhan: "I like you."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi9uPSQsi3
Nagini was a bit startled.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBRIAvFnze
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnbLyb5Tpr
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nTSMjkmXZ
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWnNwtMYzJ
Burhan: "You've told me."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEqjVV4K7P
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BZOSPq7Ay
Burhan: "And I don't care."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPkKW0Fxwn
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2biimcVmt
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayFKPZUU1A
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAnINj7WEg
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2ntHd6zgF
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmY6HA4Khe
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:
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71SQL3HSC4
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4so4K1svRG
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jaFd5P2Ga
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLoE7qQ2rf
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEKEJoOqKr
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmSleO55SN
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpYQSI5oGQ
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhijNxiYPh
A young waitress approached.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriLhgl5t6F
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk2J3n4IaD
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDwoPr9Gd6
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1IFZHfouu
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzIJCaxXZb
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oCz8tnWU
Suddenly—
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsRw450C7X
"Hands up!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGfQVttDD8
"Don't move!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwPdQDLhnI
"This is a robbery!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8rUaIaua5
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoCWfKeC6C
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs3CeasVnV
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHYobSOZmf
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiqk4gA8FZ
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpzr8QQXnt
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V6v44RRLc
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYj6S6dOvz
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP4zxzvuau
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4vM91nYcQ
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJykLmHoBpP
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkGkOYQ9qU
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKORCchg0KS
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsPrTueQ15
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhvxWY7XGJ
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkerBZdOK5g
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L0g52YwrJ
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAKj7rMesF
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDCtKZUYuf
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii3ZsVa2va
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9OoRGqyFY
Bang!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRpKIk7dyo
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20dn1D2Bwt
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f4aDVd60F
Whoosh!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFXBeHvfNc
The needle sliced through the air—

Clang!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGSVQvdWr6
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGUVg78cgx
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ4VfVXzoZ
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemOQmz0EJw
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S4kiYDC4e
Nagini: "I did."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO4LniF7aR
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdrKjTSayH
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8Q80RxDxf
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb1kXV86oD
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.

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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGABjvO399Z

A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoS6qdXDeD
Clang! Clang!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3iSOMEp3g
Each needle collided midair with a bullet, snuffing out its force. The bullets dropped harmlessly to the floor.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbRKK07LxA
The four robbers stared in shock, their legs shaking. Their fierce bravado melted into pure terror, like lions suddenly turned into house cats.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk9r3LoOLL
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxANlziCeqa
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38kYQ3dCFZ
One robber's voice trembled.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7eoKZnwgM

122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZtEnZL85u

Robber 1, having lost all reason, fired again at Nagini.

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

"Seroja Indah Apartment"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrolyyedxKd
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX6vLkDEkk
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxWqlwGKWk
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEKQzLIhkV
The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgQqqMyUqX
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpteImMHLB
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqRnQP1KQ6
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HadrTqSqx
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqwhiwNTcW
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBCxHRRjSY
They looked like troublemakers.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcINQI6PuR
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQGxSKgCUt
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcjR5xFVBV
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx8dMJYlnJ
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlEMnDGzpm
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p5sY9WCsZ
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjdwHbJ344
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mUlmewDGc
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzALYUCWev
Three others immediately turned to stare.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiFstQa2dC
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU0fasXMKw
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcD9vdx1lZ
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcjq98hiLr
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKbfKpUawm
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0d74TOHC0
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu1H3jV26C
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzg6CHaXkj
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS0AyH3wnx
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YEcyYb8FS
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.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRtITXh89p
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR6jScq07r
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1NFPrAnTJ
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EyH4eB1pU
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZrrksPHys
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55ByQCxVch
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVbP3L2SRm
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVyFCVtfgm
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT4VGaPFZt
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1miTeS4cn
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonVGcguiGV
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROimE66UPR
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYsSFxyh7y
Misno? Still Glegh!.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh1ZvqlT8u
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCElxK4Q1C
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE6Dw53bDR
Tep!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyeHeYHLiJ
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqmV7FovjK
Crack!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ2JbV4clQ
Misnan: "Ow!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQsfTj779e
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIHfHm26LX
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSrkcv3Ohd
Thwack!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXxSWsDwBG
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tygm3VrVN
Blugh!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIfyzJ2fUF
Martoyo: "Ow!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jG6fVJblR
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cR3n5ncNa
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8GQnEWXWc
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbizEKCxMzG
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRzJ8zrOx8
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cKXouLV9o
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlfXEg81Yz
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc9JWXmEDS
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE6NdXLaWW
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6262wB6awp
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL8fthbT3h
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
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A0s5S9LLd
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJNTifDMY
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCkj7o7Ftt
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1p0PpUXLK
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8I54Sy13a
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQd0KbbL6O
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
122Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ICSkaUwfd
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
