3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpisCk4gzly
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKPvrwZgiS
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAU4UR9JLc
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3fv9oZYHT
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSWdAhlgmA
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).
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrqbCPL6gL
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbDY8Zs1AI
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaLuIxHekv
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XoS6dYVu6
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrMFI4XxCc
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaEIHW6RMU
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASWkpTcZoe
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYeqCUagwm
Nagini: "Yes."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuu11gMc7S
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4mdYFqX3U
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EAV6Y3hFY
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnQV5QYLui
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cqHwsgbPv
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjsCRQoU4y
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkfW7fpCxY
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEuzOxtyYy
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8StfHsjyoy
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQ02e0Hys
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXO42VxRgH
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCywQZfDSDP
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuypTN0DQVW
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS76bMLVR0
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0UaZz1LVU
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJRT6AkyZi
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69LXBUbxP
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcd9AC0hnt
He joked.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbef3SMTGd
Nagini: "Yes."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc5PdfFNyt
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGURZnvjls
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZHsNS78Vj
Nagini: "Yes!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbveSurYf3
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHAiyPVhaS
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIB2a245nb
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Jgq7ERm9
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcrAEyII2P
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FxNk4SeRI
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAvDx58Fik
Nagini simply nodded.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA31oLPRVNX
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3RXXPnZry
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8hSNs2BOP
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCiyXInN7x
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7eG7rjdlq
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGgo8DLGTV
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RXkVJ4MT8
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlh3kH7BJl
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9o5YUUYm0
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3FQBCpClt
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7KIGGkHGf
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYniNcWvxoA
Burhan: "We'll take one."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhphpL8wzk
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRSgTr9CQZ
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxus3UPkNf
Burhan: "No."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzz6IZ7vFy
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhN8pJqCMQ
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rSm9JGQof
Burhan: "For my work partner."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEUTtg9X5p
Karmini smirked slightly.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtEu7AkwaM
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw7tu3GE8N
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5mTrTAOCr
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy7g03asn1
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0f4Wu0FxA
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYvNTgUDwE
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1bhFgCi0q
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DHnUl0RIo
Burhan glanced at her.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhTxvFpen
Burhan: "Beautiful."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZnH0ZTVOP
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUYeyQ6SJs
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9iTyxxcp
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDQW5Z5GgV
Burhan nodded.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdg7M04iEY
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudDNfxVCq0
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlK1o2dZz2D
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT1vzwGngi
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBeZdCwZ8H
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvYmSU9kbd
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYcv4u2HfM
Burhan: "I like you."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nk1swwm38
Nagini was a bit startled.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre2FFE3nxC
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx0ailGcFA
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR2spJGhMa
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKrp5KmfgL
Burhan: "You've told me."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgz4BMhckE
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcdF5O9d5k
Burhan: "And I don't care."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzKqRbUYAb
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9XX3GYwNk
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Am6SQglP5
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDHn0Uvzbp
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCpqxfMWb4
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmROAJeVsBm
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:
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLozxQJygZ
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFrSmNvHt
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85kBZgqVq2
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5atlhxKzr
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2tmyAOdNt
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8yh1MIPn9
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdqRaJQNAv
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcrNJjFnX6
A young waitress approached.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rmcXwn9Xl
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksJOqzKpSs
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj27hENfBk2
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkoEDhUWjy
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9ENddWKw1
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn87PYy70W
Suddenly—
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tKRuNeBFz
"Hands up!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJCq7m0mL1
"Don't move!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60RAmbENnv
"This is a robbery!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafiX0aAt0h
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpGIYKSQfm
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UmxQnlnDN
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc06Y8Oka7z
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

3-7 Poisoned Needle vs. Bullet
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iebRcQ07Z
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFSVDuiI1H
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8WPmweEcN
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdsU9M6bWy
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CGbRrrcKn
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡechfIP27OT
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzpx8ZnpkH
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFPqKc633v
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiu6gbbPh2
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AAgywTWDV
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FLj8jInX9
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyqXuoZVTw
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaMbjT5Qvt
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyrHJgs4MK
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPH9epiVig
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdCTpBYIlN
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTjlNHNDnG
Bang!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhklmwQV0o
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctFAROJJpO
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDJ1Fxi7Bm
Whoosh!

The needle sliced through the air—

129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJf4qdEqxi
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2bu524EOD
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPD3dWWMBv
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqEv5LnHzB
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lhf0NFjrK
Nagini: "I did."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc726e5SXkv
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq37bPjEoPc
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kAoOSERud
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnKSOnmcPT
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWekGvAz2m6

A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgibxHvC7lN

Each needle collided midair with a bullet, snuffing out its force. The bullets dropped harmlessly to the floor.

The four robbers stared in shock, their legs shaking. Their fierce bravado melted into pure terror, like lions suddenly turned into house cats.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65CjGTHdeJ
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE030pKP9l
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9UM90x6Us
One robber's voice trembled.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv4kZCnw3G

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.

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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn7uS7gXf5
The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZa6C7lnPa
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrat5fEWQAG
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoie5QdvOqu
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl68o9VJdde
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRVOGFA0bq
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCV89itZMY
They looked like troublemakers.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt3noiaQDl
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNf7yocor
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdHWvmNRE3
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfs95q6ead
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSIk9VRzE7
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCkF7cWQZq
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Eg6UO8Dt
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmRDBIgOMy
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSYQ6qIWRC
Three others immediately turned to stare.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO0lk6RJhd
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tz3MOL1mN
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW2Z0mLP8m
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LCtZBYl4B
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTP48j3IYMF
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlLJNQrOcI
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTMEWFyg1s
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uKzKWvye3
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11syLL11Jj
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVjSU4ZWAc
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.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosF8eY5kcv
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYWSSsBFLV
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLazvymKgyW
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBMWTJxZwX
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4wBTjhcV8
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGewghOIkeM
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsk8oIMmLgQ
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueL1vWq5vz
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcdapdKBgc
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6SmhaFnBq
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV3kpwwKMQ
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhrKRaHial
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtSJ6FLWYo
Misno? Still Glegh!.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiEJwEb7V1
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMJkeUZpKR
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrDfRXrKl7
Tep!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbwJzsm4Uj
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5jd1nIhV9
Crack!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8wGMgMSyE
Misnan: "Ow!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhzT5tcThd
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIpZHp9Yoz
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh8GEzIDgG
Thwack!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFdRxAuDHL
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZGzUjEeSL
Blugh!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3wOIrbqPQ
Martoyo: "Ow!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2d7ksZLfC
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFKtPxxgqM
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK9o0YGK6j
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5lSipqRk4
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxYXQWOfar
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPkT1zp0bV
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPmxi47bRk
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyeehbIzwa
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16oN8YJOOF
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAViHTspNR
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbWrwAt6XC
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
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvgkhTGjUJ
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVYZIj8SUy
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvE7gXqqTg
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrJWuX8CbR
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aSuH9kLmF
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifxcIOtM3a
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
129Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXwXs4hirq
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
