3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrDMapH7Vo
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1krp3DVhn
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGImtU8p66P
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nwJEOdagB
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DhV2EJ91h
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).
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF0qaHkLNu
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGz0fQp4Dm
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kNSGzOD96
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQy76PuSxR
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ce6KGS4wz
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdBqmpWq5C
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsF2yVKVs
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGDUma0g0X
Nagini: "Yes."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf0fKWaDSB
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUL6gcRdHd
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrecscJP5i
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPxqjSOo9q
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn2eyl6kC1
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqfrJmQGVx
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwum1jNSCj
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOwvjeuHFv
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYS2qIW6O2
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvZBBAufxv
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzSw8IWXf2
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR3L5SRtEk
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSJuanb5u9
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH62AupncdQ
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXXRdoOWr9
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzBLLDUBu7
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jCPFDyIm5
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpYNc1FIPi
He joked.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfVWkPn0Rl
Nagini: "Yes."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzi7oYP44HO
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWqaJhDjSl
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG3RPSCHZP
Nagini: "Yes!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbXYJLzaFt
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj5lf4AHj1
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pUtBIfLQK
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstxR2TUs4l
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2gf4sBgqG
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B94YoPwa3
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudbszrwCb1
Nagini simply nodded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueYSQDAgsk
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z5AzXEvG2
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMJy34Jun2
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2SNJl6naf
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLkJRhLK20
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmUy0HEA6o
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYZ0EvoDZR
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4DBK2wYQZ
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2nEwjMyTV
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpAT4VEBUH
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV5f2DvWzD
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrQwnCduch
Burhan: "We'll take one."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj09yR7Rouu
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAYEI2hliC
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCdjKGGBBJ
Burhan: "No."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyxMzYhykz
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHyFeAZSOm
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwXkeZd0sC
Burhan: "For my work partner."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMNUvT36FW
Karmini smirked slightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZbje10PAm
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKIK3P0JOC
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIpcuinXik
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cRsO88uVU
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv5YoKb3Dv
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdYPfE4PDR
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOox6mztkWA
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPiqKr4s7k
Burhan glanced at her.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfpB8al4j8
Burhan: "Beautiful."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFwEFz3wlJ
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDsM995U3w
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6dsNE8W2C
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9XELbrhX7
Burhan nodded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfrHYsbJJo
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bVRyAgiLP
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWPtmRMaVf
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9IJgaxhpk
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWzhGUnhnl
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTD7Cf8c1t
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqXqcWI4uw
Burhan: "I like you."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxRlfQ3JrC
Nagini was a bit startled.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYunsCGctQ
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR98Wr50j9S
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakp5Kjjqbx
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQrLn4RjS
Burhan: "You've told me."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6VcTJNF33
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKsIUVnJ6d
Burhan: "And I don't care."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdDd79kxKC
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m09DnFtMS
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4nqfiBeLe
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ573tun9wd
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR6nrpjaP9
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NkJ1H8DfV
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:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhUFAJNjX3
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJgXmsOPln
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaa5RcMU23
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzgqsy9swi
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqqN8pEFwI
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3CLEFxjz0
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd34BGkKmaB
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOTUVUyYB5
A young waitress approached.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jMCtJoYQk
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQe3k8oh1ny
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYabqVqJoey
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI9TUKbOt6
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKDOEFb9bc
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjUi87exSZ
Suddenly—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUcqYpWsTg
"Hands up!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifL4xuRhpu
"Don't move!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnujdm5txk0
"This is a robbery!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAgD9vKq5r
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHWvvlXCra
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmOE0pJm7q
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK0bNI54RW
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

3-7 Poisoned Needle vs. Bullet
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJYW42lfpu
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzBn1tICGP
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KptgeF2fV
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqav9WUOn0
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubFlb8pCC4
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdqDIwodbk
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEbmkFqxQf
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjmBBxdkZ5
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQlktmrbVl
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUYHZHcCPm
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVbbJ4yLLe
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtIc9nyCaV
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0XgFFIURN
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR4bJzoqQ1
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXY9lqBcqsQ
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28LBCLz2pz
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8HUcbLVve
Bang!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqXQGtIwix
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiJEKyaTuX
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO1zPUmSmY
Whoosh!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEMjxXO74H
The needle sliced through the air—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRuWReFzHT
Clang!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqMvA6792H
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiTYSpY2Ud
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFleAaL6xR
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7hg7iI2wi
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVaps02Amy
Nagini: "I did."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wQSvQqiMw
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPvMWZXXmO
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJXYdFq8O0
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0kZiSrsSz
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CGyiF4gCO

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsXuYmvEu6
Screams erupted as chaos took over.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fifLtPtPM
But Nagini was already in motion. Her hands moved with lightning speed, releasing ten poisoned needles with full force.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ0i7nfbMK
Whoosh!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxSMag4NM8
A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhIc8wpb7F
Clang! Clang!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSAvHTmje9
Each needle collided midair with a bullet, snuffing out its force. The bullets dropped harmlessly to the floor.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Jt7bIEEg
The four robbers stared in shock, their legs shaking. Their fierce bravado melted into pure terror, like lions suddenly turned into house cats.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdQhU0qVIG
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuwgSrnqsA
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZheg4Sroo0
One robber's voice trembled.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6jOvxymXv
Robber 1: "Who… what are you? You can catch bullets?!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDtF0YxFr0

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7Ad2jP8Lc

Robber 1, having lost all reason, fired again at Nagini.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbovLmACwA

Not far from the University of Indonesia campus stood a towering forty-story apartment building. At its top, glowing letters read:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh3aTmdc2q

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8leq1Zw30
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNO9gwyuoO
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D0fLcpgKl
The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJioZzZCi2j
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S097ro3ca
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl84q7s2rfi
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oVZwQByb9
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHmi8RfGMz
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfMsfU4kQx
They looked like troublemakers.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr0iXu3LbX
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFppGieL4O
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFaOhuonl5
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUguJi2knO
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmb0JvJt3V9
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4sEuFvtKc
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF5AxBwnyP
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyysIGbzdw
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuPxbQ9Scl
Three others immediately turned to stare.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9utJpXWYr
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c7NQFtyGv
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkXXrJb8H3
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdiFJcTfnT
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhUpmNNpdQ
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTcw0TgDYh
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe21WBje7V
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVtyvBLPck
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKee5Z6geD
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsB2YtcG3S
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.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUGaoeUusm
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiFzBcSWGL
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2N7eyjafl
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHHkHnIFdv
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rxtDKm3f0
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDHubZ6Dvv
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE7TA4DtXO
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIvVYRXGVL
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJh2UjvowD
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzNBZQXVLm
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGioonQ15yN
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFZ60oOEwD
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgo546XmUG0
Misno? Still Glegh!.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAP4spEKaf
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWxLXXUVjw
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfsThXy3UI
Tep!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVCIZp587k
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniCqGVNwo1
Crack!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7J87ToPJL
Misnan: "Ow!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lk5cYrw42
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwVIIoB1hs
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii9xaFU2oL
Thwack!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQVhKkEwuh
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88ZDsAs7pU
Blugh!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScFEHIVrmK
Martoyo: "Ow!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2wsTi1YgM
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZhCirQp4M
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWv2NnQ1Ql
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NtwQIBnnq
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EP4lstfuD
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqBvSGJ8b2
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoLwshhzcb
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdmmpIsVkd
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDuBd9SZC0
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B6NLo04yq
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibH1tk9IRz
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
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvLyr4b4Hl
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzy5gVpNr6
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihDXVqeKOS
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33WnKTZ4yH
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbglIDQEfN
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGe5rsh9qC
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVDCJyaoQd
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
