3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWREvonL3t
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfe29GUdSf
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe8HISOfeD
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZFdmikXTc
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezQLSXtRuQ
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).
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveB4txvi6a
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWxyoriHp3
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Fhp74sjf4
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cmopmFEJc
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTleKcTYfsf
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vmuBIv9yv
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WwqMNfKXT
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD0JdVPucY
Nagini: "Yes."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw1Xr2SqFe
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsGndo2OWD
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFGdNwxg2q
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHr90Uw1bp
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJMAc9eBYQ
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kMxblGMyP
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dvGKLxRi8
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7iRh8cPus
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptONacGSmd
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6xC3bBypC
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8DpNEbeTL
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVB7mVxkYc
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qg2nqqJYY
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSVX58AOHM
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtURvajGORs
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WdqQht7xy
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJqMJUAgEv
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxmTerKSDt
He joked.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78AqNjoK4p
Nagini: "Yes."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoGWs1yyd1
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWQQzVim8A
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtqt4fethJ
Nagini: "Yes!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sa3Dv6SgD
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHIryrXAzy
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDIJuY64qf
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV65eCZEhDh
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmDJnQDaLf
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknPdMAzWYq
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymChtkzZtJ
Nagini simply nodded.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQryaaK1dOi
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnvL2sfNNh
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrPbOLjcGz
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOp8A0uuA0
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmKRICRwjW
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vsXANxQgY
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfDgv4fKO6
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFVOW8bQj5
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JD2vd040n
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNHs9GWTqw
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4goVxfXfI4
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZchh1dmZa
Burhan: "We'll take one."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4L9TWdOzj
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSkXIdYsSc
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg5KAHWnSw
Burhan: "No."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn14Iphe3R
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrojsbR535P
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnazkJbssZ
Burhan: "For my work partner."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAddthgCj8
Karmini smirked slightly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU4QoT6H5X
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeYnV2Mf1y
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjBBbVIude
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR96pPbYgW
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4spnJHMhq
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyrkUma8rx
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtmksTlpoA
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaE7pixFjT
Burhan glanced at her.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5K1hU8qU5
Burhan: "Beautiful."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKX7xGE4WF
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbl7a72Sij
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP7FI00v1Z
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKoskptkSL
Burhan nodded.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouFrfjmv2o
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv00eHk1XhO
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN6rFeimml
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv63CeFNzn
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn7lTT2Nr3
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZYcGZ6QYA
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGafwoHBG54
Burhan: "I like you."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDwDFVQMcz
Nagini was a bit startled.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetR1ytCiK3
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qFWRYHUAt
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQMsXrJE90
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03iLAtOmRH
Burhan: "You've told me."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JA9JKuJuc
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0TlsSkLo2
Burhan: "And I don't care."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55wpeoJjIB
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9hQM1UCPv
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDunTYrNUNi
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8iNYhb2Qn
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukfne3o15o
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ezMW5k7Ba
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:
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bNkfl7344
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD9D07rbnf
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKqvqvdPNq
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtzhr8PcXT
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnqkb5WZB4
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajvLMuLkZ7
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJH9ZByeqMc
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbYK39ETH8
A young waitress approached.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlJGK8HVeT
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfmE68NEe4
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSe93tNvEn
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79I1rmTdTQ
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HU6zXb86h
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ1dfgU9BG
Suddenly—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7mNgSEq8F
"Hands up!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUCpHQeLbV
"Don't move!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMDfCxAXnB
"This is a robbery!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVttAjT9tby
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRXnNZC5xV
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG1J8Z0Yve
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qfuYVARBx
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEAZTz16tZ
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rtjtDeLms
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ngruvTKMD
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu73y2AZITN
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRYGnXfs2D
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipnqxEtsRz
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yUvtYCNL4
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0QlkyH3QY
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLHYsP9aTx
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZojw8X4wtp
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZe5C0lRQzE
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryqzscrEqn
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2WtehBxEh
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDGZQ4Dxpr
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocbmq7XhbG
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxXZRp1zsJ
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk22pupcuhL
Bang!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPaNVvCE1y
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJraZ9iwEZ
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjLDrVHoJu
Whoosh!

The needle sliced through the air—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK4pWwVXCf
Clang!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxayXglZM4g
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGI9hQpjRS
As if swallowed by a mystical wind, the bullet lost all its force and dropped harmlessly just centimeters from the old lady's head.

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg9tceL847
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuXNbEaHyd
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE9B72ERxK
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFL2k8yrhOv
Nagini: "I did."

Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFAPTAVKU
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa72PDpix6O
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ERE8NOCXf
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Screams erupted as chaos took over.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq4EkzHJZH
But Nagini was already in motion. Her hands moved with lightning speed, releasing ten poisoned needles with full force.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN9MdkyGTE

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2eHpMS06y
A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgcie8fwGB

36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhYI4mxuY7
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvznxVRK1Y9
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzSIhBg7kA
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6bN4CGmVM
One robber's voice trembled.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENBJ7D32Ek

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:
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOp532icae
"Seroja Indah Apartment"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOfct1zcS8
On the fourth floor, one modest but cozy room stood out.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn8opO3mXx
A neatly made bed, a wardrobe in the corner, and a small study desk by the window.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNk2xNgS7MP
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4o5U8Qjpm
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLatkQeEom
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.

The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.

The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ZM6pxpEx
They looked like troublemakers.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiAC6cCGPX
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPA3JvYxFT
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ5xU1wn7z
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc60wueMNqf
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sqi7fsjCp
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLunqxAwdEz
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3kaUYnGfR
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjYKpIJTff
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6Ake3urgs
Three others immediately turned to stare.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y9Y8KW8wv
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymK48ERaRC
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagncAz1IDA
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTE3RRq0NXI
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYgYsrXCMh
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgtaEw6rSw
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmWnCldR5I
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Rbu40RH4j
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MiHkA73Wx
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjtSNXZef3
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.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yo8mFdobR
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhPAhHNBJY
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00QAV74g9E
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVufLUj9yB
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZX7qtBnBc
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrM0quJyCt
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1Q6zRBj2
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPp1KzmYB7
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg0DoCIJF2
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm4jkSKMNj
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t1Gkj2UjC
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapCE7VTrXI
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEMjFAoB8K
Misno? Still Glegh!.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfph9gT5CcY
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbplxCMO2Ag
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2qLfRy2kg
Tep!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbMqfasj06
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W7lz18epm
Crack!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp71cZWwVG
Misnan: "Ow!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp19ddXiw6
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8QDqoyYEL
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHlBQA9o6N
Thwack!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJFe5QfcNn
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQaPaBLOoA
Blugh!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerevYkcECz
Martoyo: "Ow!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhp34dbf2d
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY4GUaCfKV
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSHCB8gTtT
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FCwXOAe0u
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A8Tr5ZN2d
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54niX2tkXI
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oqB4gJj2Y
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuLDlENEb6
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlq7uFem3LB
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDVrOQ9eTD
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNVlrz6xv7
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
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lZYwOpsbq
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnq7Ms0WeY0
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtU4yQwWJO
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzsr4zQ5j2
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZnpw2eKV8
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5oE9Hl7qr
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTMV3neqtX
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
