3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OT7Tn91Rb
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9L8O4s0Oy
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvICm0z8HJ
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyyaPIduhu
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlstzfs6KY
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).
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rRrApa9RK
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjv4YGACWQ
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdh6992DZvl
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXceqZoYGE
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS7BqvWR50
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4iRqUzK3c
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEuJqKoVzK
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJtoPlJ19k
Nagini: "Yes."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU8wEKPNF6
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC3IYBSz64
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJAy6Jrt1D
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbAAmSNvmv
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSKqXK3ZTA
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8TgJ3YFP1
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpRuQTwhVs
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouSXk81Xnc
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlykVYJKfN
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy69fuKpWyj
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsLOjomnWC
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSjq8brTWh
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNrkc5P6UZ
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ146ULfq57P
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF7Ht8ekq9
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1aYPefIXU
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKFQYa3JWM
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQWt25bHEA
He joked.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrm4MFH4tG
Nagini: "Yes."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4biKmt7CCt
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskkYayMqpS
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS4sMEkp2e
Nagini: "Yes!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ09ZvSaJdO
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtZeGpCmpO
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM8NkVOlBl
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vvErJhVzz
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR6A27OZwn
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQvMoBaQZW
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc6PSD9N50
Nagini simply nodded.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHE626BdNF3
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NszI8eo3n
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGUjy4Dbm0
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR7D93lHFc
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EOHvHEFH7
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIGoK4i0ng
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2F1O8numH
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpso6snT6Dk
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q0gLXmGCI
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZKqnL1R0N
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz36Ubczve
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwfzLNi9mC
Burhan: "We'll take one."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4sfgsBb5V
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONBRyeosTF
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfUrcsZ0DQ
Burhan: "No."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzZtolzQ7m
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWmroTakCu
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpv2zS6xEl
Burhan: "For my work partner."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEK5R1sUacl
Karmini smirked slightly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTw0TCUonO
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWGqHeeo2
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o5DEo2N7H
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6VN6GP6Ry
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQdTnJKeY9
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvK1HXWMlE
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2vstZy6bX
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjyOnT7VUl
Burhan glanced at her.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaykCAeBEvC
Burhan: "Beautiful."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGk9M1Q14m
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahRaWBd9od
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7Zwi2mLKp
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15jRLQ3Xzg
Burhan nodded.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNNdYV0Y6r
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEmKvzwAoS
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyate8qAsbJ
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyVThjX2Hx
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mdNWAq60U
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLepbOFwoc
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHns5wNrgD
Burhan: "I like you."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIbUzfGH0O
Nagini was a bit startled.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD8BLl6NBU
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx7C2VKU2w
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpcZw0TlYe
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABb0K1fAw
Burhan: "You've told me."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIuIFc4bo5
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk0iMlnw2b
Burhan: "And I don't care."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCTbCSKTZn
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4WM6qu4re
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy5NhPu13O
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGmCCTBoMa
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQUmVhDItQ
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpl5uxbzbu
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:
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjX6ttVsjn
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uMqMVg2CH
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXLTElYwLM
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw5MOCpVVd
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JwJF4YB8G
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesKGvP3k1M
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwik7sYZD0
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtEMMpudO5
A young waitress approached.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE7L6xMQTA
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVfvj2ojHN
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUbfImPdJe
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ztpPDJpvf
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDBqF9uOID
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lfvPxJehB
Suddenly—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4dGMuDEpX
"Hands up!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy4DR3L3Jo
"Don't move!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u0RT8Xl3e
"This is a robbery!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8BgNg66Ze
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlANa2bLVM
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VJZlEuWJV
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG8kxGn3DW
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ1BCbr2n7
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSccnluJhv
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzx6aniJwI3
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKnDthf1ir
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajoNYMhNSO
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdqWacalUg
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHrufT0KbO
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgsFeZrL0b
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbXSkuDOPe
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGysiY3JIuk
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxL1aQi6Zl
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rCVr0s2R2
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCo3xLYg9H
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgwiA2i1mN
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHQC3cXtOI
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxAZXvGZCg
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYslB7CXRD8
Bang!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNK1sXx4nc
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5CJmLFEUP
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPBMtRb1Nj
Whoosh!

The needle sliced through the air—

157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQDMKEDIk
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirmr7SUbK3
As if swallowed by a mystical wind, the bullet lost all its force and dropped harmlessly just centimeters from the old lady's head.

157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstUnwVsGmY
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHcgsjFYwy

157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPz2DCx5eWy

157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtdxbeGGyd
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92N8isUKhA
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBO4tEgOXyZ

157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BYjiBh4ip

A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.

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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh82Uq4Mkzf
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfhESGpoBU
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNotWyESPCV
One robber's voice trembled.

The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyGj4U7h23
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FvOEcURKC
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlbEhl3fYo
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfDEdg91t0
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyAftPLYRd
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKltSMKbFH
They looked like troublemakers.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8l3iXCOyu
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjr4y9RsBk
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vk0S0bXHh
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTy7jp3OUk
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBCj88oQG0
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hLdUw82v0
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYUEgFON7p
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5rvm9MZPG
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5yUNFKc6a
Three others immediately turned to stare.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysALcR784s
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed3BE29wnx
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L58bkrN6Q
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokJjwVyyB1
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFwoqgfzVg
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78QKtiXT7A
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoll4KC0duF
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HbdJoJEOM
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHlG9PyHLR
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEu9jCft8F
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.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgsffGGdzb
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkds11L8Rp
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkBr0htHPw
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8rLQUV7tw
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwgHhoOCaz
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LsccKQ55z
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQveaaWZwUU
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJkvOGzLZM
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycGgVeJy7o
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoT5vmlGkmU
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtidh1urfa
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMBM4gwQVI
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUZEipQ885
Misno? Still Glegh!.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIV3Qqq9Rf
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGBfh3iysM
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMoMOjFEQV
Tep!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5aJgd374a
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBwExnFaaB
Crack!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7Nx3x4cqA
Misnan: "Ow!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorltXz1RDA
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8yx00As4R
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs5EPpJl23
Thwack!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX36VS2wIYJ
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMb1D3Y5a0
Blugh!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb8Wg2ZTPg
Martoyo: "Ow!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRS5gq0AhS
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEhLLdK8SI
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtqchFXd4A
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQyDFN9MxH
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0OXUhIy0C
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQLwk2joaK
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3cze1pr5E
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVodfUfvnOu
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8neDzJy7Dl
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpHZXoPPHp
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2icXpcMm7
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
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0rcnXFLlS
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ841nr5rsbY
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4f9P6gPcw
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe7l2yx3Mh
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5oDs48sgZ
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf32wNgkxiP
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
157Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtesjhddEOv
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
