3-1 Nagini Meets Inspector Burhan
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ktfAY6yWN
Police sirens wailed in the distance, heading straight for the Red Gang's hideout.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdrHK7pltW
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFd22Kb31R
The young men were now guarding several gang members Nagini had beaten earlier at Jono's rented house.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YhnbuCKvB
They groaned in pain, unable to move.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCzFY5VHRT
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).
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5kWGltAjE
Several other officers also emerged from the vehicle, all in full uniform.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEkT0YBvwe
Inspector Burhan walked into the crowd, scanning the battered thugs lying on the ground.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuyoQxILqV
Burhan: "Can someone tell me what happened here?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08C13aUEuu
A young man named Budi stepped forward.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2p650wXpX
Budi: "Sir, these are the Red Gang! They tried to attack Mr. Jono, but Sister Nagini beat them all up!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF8e169lJB
Burhan glanced at the woman in red standing with clenched fists.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNWga41S6r
Burhan: "So you're the one who did this?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc60noxHSwB
Nagini: "Yes."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsgXRvgzk9
Budi: "They've been terrorizing the neighborhood for ages, Sir!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mJ0sYSK9O
Another young man, Saridin, chimed in.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IVBS7xYXt
Saridin: "They've caused nothing but trouble for everyone."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRrZ2rvTnZ
Budi: "If it weren't for Sister Nagini, we'd never have dared fight back."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2wmg0Qn0g
Burhan: "So your name is Nagini?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0fDDRY0s0
Nagini: "Yes. My name is Nagini."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynBtR0E95Y
Burhan looked back at the two young men.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohLI5XRPZa
Burhan: "I've wanted to throw these guys in jail for a long time, but they're slippery."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhir3noESTg
Budi: "Everyone would be happy if they got locked up."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx35fektt2o
Saridin: "No more extortion disguised as 'security fees.'"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ebvBOICrA
Burhan: "Yes, they'll be in prison for quite a while."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnARupmkzq
Then Burhan studied Nagini carefully, as if sizing her up for questioning.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hy4PPqa48
Burhan: "You're not from around here. Where are you from?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL6stC02CV
Nagini frowned slightly, answering hesitantly.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaeHAhtw7N
Nagini: "I'm not from this era."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjQ81GorqN
Burhan held back a smile. As a police officer, it sounded absurd and amusing to hear someone say they weren't from this time.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c1eesLGWi
Burhan: "From the era of kingdoms?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BmogkppZo
He joked.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMFAq8tbew
Nagini: "Yes."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3aA6nAbxR
Burhan couldn't contain his laughter, convinced she was just joking.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAW5JjUabn
Burhan: "You sure you're from the royal age?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2GEr1blfK
Nagini: "Yes!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mKmwoVSTV
She insisted, though looking a little awkward, still trying to hide her confusion in this modern world.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XtaasXyj0
Burhan chuckled until his eyes watered.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37yDbss9r9
Burhan: "You're funny. And strange."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo21djDYrKu
Nagini: "You don't believe me?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE0IEJbBdI
Burhan just laughed again, then changed the subject.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO3jfZyZ3J
Burhan: "Alright, miss, I've got plenty more questions for you."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8UC1KkkC4
Nagini simply nodded.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEze9yVHVEf
From that night on, their relationship slowly grew closer.

3-2 Pondok Gede Indah Apartment
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdp1FNZo73
Burhan: "Nagini, you'll stay here for now."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiajZ55ELwz
Nagini stared at the tall building he pointed to.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhewbPYdPz1
At the very top, a large sign read: Pondok Gede Indah Apartment.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yCZtPCAKK
Nagini clicked her tongue in amazement at the strangeness of this modern world—tall buildings, cars, bustling crowds, and people cursing in the streets.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFxWKPvAXk
Burhan parked in the basement and they both got out, heading for the elevator.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgQSPQmd0W
Burhan: "Come on, Nagini. Let's get you registered at the reception."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAWLplWb2s
They went up to the first floor and approached the front desk. A young woman greeted them. Burhan read her nametag: Karmini.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUnJr9KR1U
Karmini: "How can I help you, Sir?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EI30taZAV
Burhan: "Do you have a vacant room?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEslHRtBkmZ
Karmini: "Yes, Sir."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBQKO8dRZc
Burhan: "We'll take one."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CsXKHLRnr
Karmini looked between Nagini and Burhan.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ9FkQt7vu
Karmini: "Husband and wife?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq32B6egHm
Burhan: "No."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTUUj9tjBT
Nagini looked puzzled at their exchange.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPML1S0RYR
Karmini: "What do you mean, Sir?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tYMHgsKsc
Burhan: "For my work partner."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYRKp4SVqZ
Karmini smirked slightly.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6BhyD4qgh
Karmini: "Oh… so you're work partners, not husband and wife?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgUUjUei5K
Burhan and Nagini exchanged glances. Nagini blushed, Burhan looked sheepish.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjiaBtlyT0
After completing the paperwork, Nagini received the key to unit 21-2B.

3-3 Nagini, the Red Jacket
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r2GTFNPio
After setting up the apartment for her, Burhan took Nagini for a tour around Jakarta.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBjnagCnhO
He was behind the wheel of his white Avanza, with Nagini in the passenger seat.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxEggvkMPV
Earlier, he had bought her new clothes—still red, of course.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPLbH5shtV
A red leather jacket, black stretch pants, and white Eagle sneakers. She looked both stylish and modern.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rv6CTMJtY
Burhan glanced at her.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMmWHzttU8
Burhan: "Beautiful."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnPClEY3ok
Though a police officer, Burhan was actually the son of a wealthy businessman.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wZ7sLsPfx
Burhan: "Do you like your new clothes, Nagini?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn82jG6TR1F
Nagini: "You mean this red leather jacket?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgevDqFB9GQ
Burhan nodded.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwo29iUk9T
Nagini: "Of course I like it, Burhan."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEWx76IoYo
Burhan smiled, his mood lifting as they drove toward a café.

3-4 Burhan, Nagini's Grandson
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7jVYzjN0x
Burhan: "I'm taking you to a quiet, romantic café."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4cxcjzRyJ
Nagini glanced at him, then nodded.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO9amYFbGJ
They parked in front of the café and walked side by side.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk0Jhk9KCw
Burhan suddenly stopped, holding her hand tightly, and looked deep into her eyes. His voice trembled slightly.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sq4Ze2eN2
Burhan: "I like you."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofSkaxLMPd
Nagini was a bit startled.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmeq8EfhTP
Nagini: "Are you sure?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfhfpN6HlO
Burhan: "Why do you ask?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDcp0UP4d1
Nagini: "I'm from the 16th century, the royal era."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUKqCoTPOG
Burhan: "You've told me."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUztTc5j1S
As a logical police officer, Burhan didn't really believe it. Time travel was the stuff of fiction, not police reports.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRipXbcX1M
Burhan: "And I don't care."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8IIl4A4LH
Nagini smiled faintly, knowing he probably didn't believe her and was just teasing.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqakQ4uDpS
Nagini: "In this time, I should already be your grandmother."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyf4Fq80kO
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8ZjDK4fYM
Burhan: "But you've never been married. How could you have grandchildren?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcbeUBf6Fh
Nagini playfully swatted his back.

3-5 Kemang Raya Cafeteria
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEpYKTtv8O
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:
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt0ryTfSLt
"Kemang Raya Cafeteria."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHXDqQlFXn
Kemang Raya Cafeteria was an elite café, a gathering place for the rich and well-established.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjkYobKNAf
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiBeqkewN9
The luxurious and elegant atmosphere could be felt in every corner of the café.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mEcphnXF8
After enjoying the view from outside, Burhan and Nagini entered Kemang Raya Cafeteria.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtObh6zF4Q
Burhan had already reserved a table, so they went straight to their seats.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQIqlPfkM9
Burhan: "Waiter, come here."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcjmlK9Vfa
A young waitress approached.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa4O3dSjTf
Waitress: "What would you like to order, sir?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXG3WNLc70
Burhan pointed at the menu and opened it.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY5zANaek4
Burhan: "This drink. Two of them."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbuF8U0byb
The waitress went into the kitchen. Moments later, she returned carrying two large glasses of fresh orange juice.

3-6 Armed Robbery
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iRNZ1CAgq
Burhan and Nagini were chatting about Jakarta. Nagini asked many questions, and Burhan was happy to explain.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkr419gRb5
Suddenly—
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ur8DKmRIq
"Hands up!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2HEPcViuK
"Don't move!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t7mAa2HcE
"This is a robbery!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfktmiz0qh
The loud voices made every customer in the café jump in shock. A wave of fear filled the air.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMV2PUoY1I
At the entrance stood four people wearing black masks. Only their eyes were visible through small holes in the fabric.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdlEhKmz3M
Three of them were tall and broad-shouldered, each holding heavy automatic firearms—likely AK-47s.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD9UgVb7H7
The fourth was smaller, with a noticeably fuller chest compared to the others—undoubtedly a woman.

3-7 Poisoned Needle vs. Bullet
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlNkEQvYcV
Burhan: "Nagini, keep your head down! They have firearms!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyKuSZTvbM
Nagini: "What is a firearm?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRQDXL3Cxg
Burhan: "It shoots bullets and can kill from a distance!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuDGoAVCD3
Nagini: "Like an arrow?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHcCCNfnRj
Burhan: "Exactly! Now keep your head down!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrrAPhDh7z
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspwZQxPrYS
Both her hands slipped into her jacket pockets, gripping her poisoned needles tightly.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SPri1Z8Si
Up front, the largest robber pointed his gun at the customers.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVoW0y8bUR
Robber 1: "Hand over your jewelry and phones! Put them in this bag!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpo3hUmymV
Robber 2: "Don't resist! Or we'll shoot!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL1sqlK7Rd
Terrified customers quickly dropped their valuables into the bag carried by the smaller, female robber.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUU0974jTM
But one wealthy old lady refused, clutching her handbag tightly.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNPJtNXprp
Old Lady: "Don't take my bag!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1bSNA6wY8
Robber 1: "Shoot her! We're running out of time!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKazW8ebLKr
Robber 2: "Densus 88 will be here any second!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNYechsJV0
Robber 3, who was holding a pistol, immediately raised his weapon and pulled the trigger.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uKbgj3I2w
Bang!
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL6dfjDL7T
The bullet shot straight toward the old lady.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiufAvCpEYI
Nagini, already prepared, threw one of her poisoned needles.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2MnRAwVRP

The needle sliced through the air—

119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVPccVbqA0
It struck the bullet mid-flight.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8yWlfbSKj
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU63jjako4
Robber 1: "Who did this?! Who dares pull such a stupid stunt?!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnKMV7WmLr
Nagini stepped forward, standing tall before everyone.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi5N9p9BJz
Nagini: "I did."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZLORb9AQ9
Gasps filled the café. Some people held their breath, afraid Nagini would be riddled with bullets any second.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q4SjObafS
Robber 1 raised his weapon, panic and rage mixing with fear.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M7lEqjebI
Robber 1: "You've doomed everyone here!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJiNSEAlJl
Without hesitation, he unleashed ten bullets toward the crowd.

Screams erupted as chaos took over.

But Nagini was already in motion. Her hands moved with lightning speed, releasing ten poisoned needles with full force.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f4VHqT4ys

A faint, cold wind followed the deadly needles.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOJ9DJhZJ7

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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0Mnkvv9p1
Cold sweat ran down their spines.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOITjS3VkZF
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDX9CKkIER
One robber's voice trembled.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVqP8wdNZc

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.

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.

Though it wasn't yet eight o'clock, the sidewalks to campus were nearly deserted. Cars passed only occasionally.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8hoQoZ6wG
The tall buildings along the way were dimly lit, their lights fading into the night.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVAYGtPoSu
The usually bustling street vendors were nowhere to be seen. Only a few people strolled in the distance.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4oFh3x66d
On one stretch of sidewalk, a group of young men loitered—smoking, drinking beer, and chatting. Some idly chewed on peanuts.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRYpwnasGl
Below the sidewalk, four others sat singing along to the strum of a guitar.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euBxV2bM8
Rani and Rina approached, chatting and laughing. But as they drew closer, they slowed.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WHqVGnEQI
The sight ahead wasn't encouraging—empty beer bottles, cigarette packs, and peanut shells littered the ground.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAY5RMymVI
They looked like troublemakers.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡColUxK7nMg
Rani: "Rina, do we have to go through them?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAeWM1ObmA
Rina: "Of course. There's no other way to campus."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZZzUZxKli
Rani: "Aren't you afraid they'll bother us?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufyMdN8cSh
Rina smirked, and Rani laughed out loud.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8PZTw3TzH
Without hesitation, they kept walking—heads high—as they passed the group.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3wyGbuQhQ
Up close, four young men lounged on the sidewalk while six others played guitar and sang below.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJxkKlCGTp
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaYtWxmOvj
Martoyo: "Hey, guys! Look! Two angels have just descended from heaven!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYEkeSPt40
Three others immediately turned to stare.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3xmqNZgLh
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV5NMwY27C
He stepped toward Rani and Rina.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQpP4LcwvY
Misnan: "Hey, girls… why don't you have some fun with us?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rvoAev1Zp
Rani and Rina ignored them.

3-12 Rani and Rina vs. the Street Thugs
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd3jUMJMx4
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOh2BDho5Q
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkWtJfIZTI
Gendon: "Hey, pretty girl! Wanna be my girlfriend?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiGs8k9qGZ
Intelligence might not be his strong suit, but every time he saw a pretty woman, his mouth would automatically start running.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfJDfitaSF
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zeFb7UOPX
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.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl9lGldkYe
The four men surrounded Rani and Rina.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRRGVOdUum
Misnan: "Hey, ladies, how about staying over at my place tonight? You can have whatever you want…"
Misnan chuckled sleazily.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDeXYfii8
Martoyo: "I could be your boyfriend instead…"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TJE3Pxd7r
Gendon: "So, girlfriend, yes?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcw74CPXlu
Misno still didn't move, just stared and Glegh! again.

3-13 Beating Up the Thugs
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTWwg9JzMn
The moment the words turned sleazy, Rani and Rina's smiles vanished. Both spun around to face the thugs.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gBGHkcij9
Rani: "You're getting out of line."
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJva5QUqan7
Rina: "Speak politely to women!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEHioeY3nU
Misnan: "Why should I care?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SJe9RQUy5
Martoyo: "Yeah, why should I care?"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSIO01loWo
Gendon: "Still waiting for that girlfriend answer…"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid8Qyvt5hF
The three of them snickered like hyenas. Gendon kept patting his nightstick on his shoulder.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs5djksY8K
Misno? Still Glegh!.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WnWYItRjq
The four of them reeked of alcohol. Their speech was slurred.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoHOejb8Dw
Misnan reached out to grab Rani's shoulder—
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl0H7lBoCH
Tep!
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ESWWACSe1
Her hand shot up first, locking onto his wrist.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtLmm4XOqM
Crack!
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXZTbQUz7U
Misnan: "Ow!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNsd6tok6p
Misnan dropped to his knees in pain, his fingers already swelling.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyYzRWmUrI
At the same time, Martoyo tried to grab Rina's arm—
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GwXcwXuGf
Thwack!
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkpSxYs3XL
Her hand caught his, twisting sharply—
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZMZGNnzeo
Blugh!
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcmaWeFOq1
Martoyo: "Ow!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMBiDvYrc3
He landed on the pavement with a swollen arm, looking like he'd need a traditional massage… or maybe an exorcism.

3-14 Gendon
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqYKpAVaaV
Gendon didn't react, still caressing his nightstick like it was his pet cat.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn2EC9arGK
Misno stayed frozen, Glegh! again.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnwjDur4Ic
Misnan: "Gendon! Why are you just standing there? Hit them!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6plukH6Ft
Martoyo: "I'll buy you martabak if you do!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0RANqDYKb
Now, martabak is a sweet, stuffed Indonesian pancake—a delicacy Gendon would gladly fight for.
At the magic word, he raised his nightstick.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9umeDNn1ab
Misno kept watching nervously, Glegh! again.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEorrXAIaYA
Rani and Rina exchanged a sly smile. The nightstick strikes were easy to dodge, and within seconds…
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVGyjkEwY7
Wham! Bam! Snack! Thud!
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN53GwRXun
Gendon: "Ow! Mercy!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuHRV793GU
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
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvNstTKUnM
Misno was still rooted to the spot, but this time his Glegh! wasn't from admiration—it was pure fear.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6AkUE7Ool
He glanced toward a group of six guys singing on the street below, but they weren't part of his gang.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdJNkRfJpa
When Rani and Rina's eyes locked on him, his knees wobbled. Without caring about pride or dignity, Misno turned and bolted.
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgaUEpJGTn
Misnan: "Get back here, Misno! Coward!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XjdDvvgDu
Martoyo: "Traitor!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO7Squi0M0
Gendon: "If you come back, bring me martabak!"
119Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu65KUHoA0V
Rani and Rina just kept walking toward campus, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.
