3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zQjFJNzBT
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxW9S0XF7X
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ7BwgBVcB
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1Bb1rV1p5
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAUi4dbPBZ
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).
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzeerCCuzZ
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalooZMroxk
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuUxGIpBFk
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIRA10uOyt
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvRhd33j3f
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbehSjCfSX
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK7qV39bd0
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1U0ZGMAQEN
Nagini: "Yes."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKxc8bHqmE
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uee4qKucS
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LJK08THFX
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONENB3zHoL
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4igm4Oa5ef
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjLdS4uWsX
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy65wMRCsc4
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3l61aLE5f
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1YqlxGmyP
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfkzAZsFII
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwY9zor05e
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33kw3LNCrv
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9epu5W5scD
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY8pfW04WK
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp4DCU64jx
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsc9yYcl7Fj
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP70OFyKno
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWpnGyg3RA
He joked.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ6GpcLFHz
Nagini: "Yes."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIIElbEB9O
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7lLovglOs
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LMK3Azf2j
Nagini: "Yes!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bCVN1LsGz
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnCeE2XcTq
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PTEjU8pG2
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lbXnC5IbB
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgCFrVbCwK
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFGXnItesZ
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPANTqflgq
Nagini simply nodded.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpus7bLDqce
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoOCeyiVh8
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUnaGzWlBT
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNStdDNFlhY
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImAflGR0s0
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7isLkwWuX
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEdYaHNgO5
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSxhvNtUsR
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdi89c4BKf
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K5LIkV4S5
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKoRBXADa
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9heLYzcXSx
Burhan: "We'll take one."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaljIpRIWcg
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsZbCPYeL
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T5R1j9yQr
Burhan: "No."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs1itbFjLy
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpGhEBEQBe
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh5Q8Ominy
Burhan: "For my work partner."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTL4lsIAQT
Karmini smirked slightly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH3gT8Xw2f
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9Z7E8NDo9
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l59lEJGG4
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08sSISdmrW
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UTYr7VgUC
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbYoyotqlj
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsCQl5ZL34
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52kHbNkGrH
Burhan glanced at her.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6maNrLvwI
Burhan: "Beautiful."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rkxS2UR1K
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWIlwvebly
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu4CJXlkIe
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnx3M13WOw
Burhan nodded.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCW5CQ62hi
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kfKsduiaX
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86TUxGpY05
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4MJ9FQkyl
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlN8pofiC7
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAvTfztab9
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAglwuctWw
Burhan: "I like you."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2Rjd7CIU6
Nagini was a bit startled.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodZ5W9Am4f
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOmffAzzJ8
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD2TfeGrBb
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI14xn3xoz3
Burhan: "You've told me."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEg8C3SW5M
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxyTDP7vlD
Burhan: "And I don't care."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZLGR4yZVR
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9O8ysn1gr
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS43FXpcQX7
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWjle32lGD
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9laaDW0sz
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNxnyj0GrX
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:
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yDp3MUWY5
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT4ik8LxHL
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFdcEaVoOn
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXgl1K5Nfq
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7z8cZTqZH
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Qh3IDmOA
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKARKRJKYe6
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ugRIGV6Zj
A young waitress approached.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8WL2fnGLx
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvZFNJuki2
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fxmNWKjkL
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLbQgEgLiE
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qHz1JgUov
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN56KNyvmSh
Suddenly—
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCikhuRRog5
"Hands up!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim7Wt3Zpis
"Don't move!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hsEgUKNhB
"This is a robbery!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9tcyDxyWS
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cMhWDpVoY
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbSw0ZP1zA
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNtETSWLOM
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSSblkAmdv
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90M5XgQlyw
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHKqo3vV5p
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHCZULQNC0
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hl9gmVWe8
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAImv160NH7
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOtVwuDWxv
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3QoOTTAxr
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ454RMIYWYQ
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tOtTUnl2f
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hK8q9gsfB
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV14t0l8PW
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmy956xnIY
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHuI8zXu01
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdUQWIaVvc
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4BxWqIRB1
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ASVQWls6M
Bang!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE8L4eaQUE
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2heoaHbJC
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPiv3yrTIH
Whoosh!

The needle sliced through the air—
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21OmHGSh3A
Clang!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqZgzicZfu
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVOTCaxU7q
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD7RoaF9bu
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwJ4EdZCtP
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOoS921sUo
Nagini: "I did."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCqHGVWNOZ
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH1cZhviLF
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrgJ9kgejR
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1X687bb9X
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNCbL9t4i7
Bang! Bang! Bang!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY7R04dxEd
Screams erupted as chaos took over.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WSlRTZOd6
But Nagini was already in motion. Her hands moved with lightning speed, releasing ten poisoned needles with full force.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7muhPcUME
Whoosh!

A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDqFWtZI94
Clang! Clang!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgX4L0rKmL
Each needle collided midair with a bullet, snuffing out its force. The bullets dropped harmlessly to the floor.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUKEHwke87
The four robbers stared in shock, their legs shaking. Their fierce bravado melted into pure terror, like lions suddenly turned into house cats.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsai9LIuyO
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xc10XPqRI
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDxahDBdFk
One robber's voice trembled.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8LRcKN24Z

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:
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBeHE4DdQn
"Seroja Indah Apartment"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLgTu7IdQs
On the fourth floor, one modest but cozy room stood out.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7MtMybaxE
A neatly made bed, a wardrobe in the corner, and a small study desk by the window.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7AYhkX5zN
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVPQAgNqGj
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiD4jWYRO3
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.

The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMeHOLkKjV
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.

On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.

The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUQTTsdbAK
They looked like troublemakers.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrZdTHBOSn
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX7S2jUid6
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVipjVRcqY
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmR1vmtWBY
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxBPtIZE7m
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIq8LtvjHl
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFD83wtWW0
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cAG8ivIPO
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AnQfz31yn
Three others immediately turned to stare.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDba6mMXitM
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMSVc9CmNo
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBru7UvY2yu
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalgBLe8h0p
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5hPr1Saos
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWPlxnD3dI
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK7UOS8Lsy
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY7w1KRwQS
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gOlZATuRL
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj8G4GxtIH
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.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzssCcVGOWU
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0muZn8wnnd
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKedR8gNsGO
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu501uonHOe
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOQZD6VURJ
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2VhSclGO5
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RQRn3xzXW
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcfWZ86zrv
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hYoe1A11a
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCIPSFpRov
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveDouUPdPC
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnQSCU849k
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0neU1o59w
Misno? Still Glegh!.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEanG24UENf
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPluSTbK6o
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpaX2JxqVp
Tep!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5vvf4KcW0
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7E7xH42nr
Crack!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C1km4frFQ
Misnan: "Ow!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9msGZUGyM
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7UbnwK5qX
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RPrETyROW
Thwack!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGsrokNLhv
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4gSJEHGGD
Blugh!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ux8ltAoTa
Martoyo: "Ow!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtex7MHXFmF
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwpWEW31YA
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPUWzIrxZn
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TNBQICvBr
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yNmnbizEM
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODsljgqO0a
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpCZSCG7Lm
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI1U2VJ4tj
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98dXnDQIRX
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cbbYd9a5B
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96VIzPfjs9
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
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcaE5q58mb
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzfiaNxN6
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKdANiGLdU
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wUOOIxlDv
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTF7MX6hnr
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBaGu9SFm6
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
97Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAlWtqhMrN
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
