3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wsKGablX7
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wEnafb8AA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dFq0Ozixx
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxxYnQuxRv
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q2Borkkjr
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRChUm5ad9C
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAvp5V2v3X
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww2TMpdYkb
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9NrmKV5uo
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY6xze9jks
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEphSQ4tFln
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOUB3hFcYm
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBWrZOvBRM
Nagini: "Yes."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR3J5PARJA
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9baBUoSg2E
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl2V75dTDq
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iXXClwue6
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlI314EHjy
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJelgx7hXi
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMpcgxfHuR
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcpgzBDd98
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFWrEnw8Bb
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyCwjwnGbt
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIWy2Cvva1
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdFqQiBvYk
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXdgypjbqk
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ZiVlemMY
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzMP6IRQut
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZOm5JWNJW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CA2RcbSYU
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2oavtDlPm
He joked.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtX2WV2Wom
Nagini: "Yes."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1aVpewPqU
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTqRFhBMUe
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fXWotZVOv
Nagini: "Yes!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysnNv7V2ry
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ccS8vf6x
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NBGJ3UkLe
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f1tKmqmFU
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kIKr1aVzX
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI10swbZNzl
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4rWoZUVJZ
Nagini simply nodded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwV4FqZNrcQ
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBCqsHSAy4
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDRM8qPTj8
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWbZwe5Xmz
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvKdiEHmHW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyFYDcxTaz
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDkCSFXiXE
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgE9b0Z6Ms
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81hwdzyDxf
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL2skgsv50
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCWMv0hCer
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPxqoSwFRD
Burhan: "We'll take one."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBRMPzYWqs
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyAvGbvjuZ
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC3KY1Uva7
Burhan: "No."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHaT0AQqdR
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKoymvy7B3
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTVAcd5uHW
Burhan: "For my work partner."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11uAGdd8cE
Karmini smirked slightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI2rvcwYbe
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat41zwC954
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUszdnSl4t
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLbUdGNAZ4
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC9SV2lK9g
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPEr9ZKJDU
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oMQEXPpBG
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Tx4opBYa
Burhan glanced at her.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5o4jlLNs3
Burhan: "Beautiful."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx99tAhVTvA
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkuJl02gFJ
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8lBxhJu8k
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIc1AowDGB
Burhan nodded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbup6GkGxL
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwxN0E3Y7R
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0leOLxsZ6n
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM22FlW59q
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kLe3gvBQU
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwb89YLaKM
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1QO0ekAzm
Burhan: "I like you."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NJWh90swr
Nagini was a bit startled.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48ePYLvJ5p
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeocLj5Vwj
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGegtuLgyD
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa3ZLagCWe
Burhan: "You've told me."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF0hRBuQMR
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAJrHGS2rr
Burhan: "And I don't care."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVIHTh8h7f
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8SudMfUsR
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSW9w8A4Gg
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0z5Zszcqub
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7b8tEJH0y
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPnJKlRvuU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSXkqfA1K7
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXvtX7xlym
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2gKgJlCNG
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1eV9G4IiF
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtQLLABLTg
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY87Q83HDFG
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXh1c8XKmZ
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXOwRljW3d
A young waitress approached.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFfaPrJkVj
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0brqSQViEF
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4sNw7fWfs
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchl9oCGa0r
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tLr4RPjZu
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVRw0Ik1TR
Suddenly—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd8JNHlL7f
"Hands up!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bB6rJ0mPm
"Don't move!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF6fBX0sXf
"This is a robbery!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzc6zsHURc
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQpySOZdg8
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHZ1id0lk9
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9wfsnEvLY
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq16Avpx1BL
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycApkmquvr
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZRxHh47Wy
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhLhvxxRbA
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlIO7hZB4G
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiozuT5uSb
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwv6OK7xet
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOA1B0x0Jp
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vhGpRUudF
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdI4pdUGAY
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITB15czYKT
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3k4428HzM
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNR7k9nsUS
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ilYPydo0n
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK7Vo9BGrO
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RUBadkXpG
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h2hnjbgzu
Bang!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwUGRUSZ5t
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5X53NRIkwa
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx01ZDnFMY
Whoosh!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt8d6AXxK2
The needle sliced through the air—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mrOSDUR9D
Clang!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxlZVoYEmk
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W3oyXS9XV
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIHL7Lv2H9
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0ym7sdqdj
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy0FBWo2jp
Nagini: "I did."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd0FqD5h3J
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM6mMTZj3I
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPF691UYFT
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPAHTVcGUP
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO579kLj9YC
Screams erupted as chaos took over.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNwi5dWPLH
But Nagini was already in motion. Her hands moved with lightning speed, releasing ten poisoned needles with full force.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElotAfsqDv
Whoosh!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYKYaFdJRr
A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA9K0lVPWb
Clang! Clang!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb5bKrQ8Fh
Each needle collided midair with a bullet, snuffing out its force. The bullets dropped harmlessly to the floor.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrReWyZbOjt
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQd1GifslR
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXzIrGzOIu
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ftA7Ebex1
One robber's voice trembled.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UWNQ86Fqk
Robber 1: "Who… what are you? You can catch bullets?!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtOSnEfkDN
Nagini: "I'm human. Just like you."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCMVzCbTEc

Robber 1, having lost all reason, fired again at Nagini.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B6vx2Qu6G

Not far from the University of Indonesia campus stood a towering forty-story apartment building. At its top, glowing letters read:
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3tjfqraDw

121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Jt224BrA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT6A0qDEae
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsD0B1qUAd
The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRJdeTBg1T
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3sNZx1ZUX
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclP6HCpBsD
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7qhode50R
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdPwArXSoF
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkbAH57uyC
They looked like troublemakers.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe8TM114sH
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvba6Btrp9Y
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPn9woENuN6
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Zx3stVMF
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVqz68eUgx
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3AVWnkHEx
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWyyjKD4sS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtysCz6Xesw
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWb77esd36
Three others immediately turned to stare.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A6wb6HbxM
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTxgTfiGDm
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekInPvCOoE
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxVBlyFcOz
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww5FDgROFL
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS9b9C7SPN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK5v1dy3ZO
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwLHe6LqZB
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJPlXEMk6U
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNI6BG1W7E
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWf0q669PW
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQvLkoASjM
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeHVVyZBdU
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gOyzTDPQ
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaUNZLNjAq
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKw1LPtTtu
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoU9gn5nBn
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY79Hxfwk7
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sXtKYk1yZ
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4H5M78ibo
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuXSe6q1wj
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGFU8yxN67
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlQnIO2lLC
Misno? Still Glegh!.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmIRUsCLkU
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPhP35FLe2
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrowJEHswAF
Tep!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpoXA3TgPB
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx4CJp21wb
Crack!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH5qXoQmho
Misnan: "Ow!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgTySsj4ZT
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXexEO00dbH
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EC4GYRopU
Thwack!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVI6IJTQACV
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uSrfGZRgR
Blugh!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnYGGD4mrS
Martoyo: "Ow!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVlMTBuBIP
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWrDVSyo8R
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyanAn2hsxY
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPUY9QZ9Ru
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKxx7II8tR
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZbXH7k0MW
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94JYBeciao
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBWRkxwCjk
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TQi8Kmw0z
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVZ9ZElIiO
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FQZP71AFA
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXgkKkoWTB
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC08U0oUN48
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulcKCAolVS
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4sziEFXY
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FITn9foo7
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwQZoLItj2
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
121Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h5Fdvavgn
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
