'Is that so?' Taye insulted Alfi.

Alfi is staring at him in anger.

'Megumi, do me a favor, will you?' Alfi said firmly.

'With pleasure dear' Megumi answered.

'Shut up!' Taye said. 'Colok Api! (Fire Stick)' He exclaimed launching some wood sticks which have been covered by fire from his palm.

Alfi bends his big arm, his Iru absorbs all of the sticks and lets them enter it.

'If it's all about imagining things...' Alfi said. 'Then...' He said swinging his arm launching those fiery wooden sticks which have been powered by his Iru back to Taye. 'I will take it seriously!' He said firmly.

'Do you think such trick will do?!' Taye asked arrogantly swinging his satay fan to stop those empowered fiery wooden sticks.

All of them are getting slower.

But...

'Pelontar Gelombang Kejut (Shockwave Bullet)!' Alfi exclaimed firmly triggering all of the slowings empowered fiery wooden sticks (Oh, I love English!) to explode in a row and making Taye get bounced in every direction.

'I am always serious at imagining things, remember that!' Alfi exclaimed angrily.

'Alfi!' Megumi called him. 'Quick! We have to set Kartika free!' She said.

'Oh, right.' Alfi said hurrying towards Kartika who is trapped in that delicious giant processed chicken.

Alfi uses his Iru to make his head bigger to eat that giant processed chicken. Afterward, he spits Kartika and cleans the slime around her body with his hand which is modified by his Iru into an antiseptic hand.

'Disgusting!' Pinto said in disgust.

Kartika is still unconscious. Looks like she needs some AR (Artificial Respiration)

'AR eh?' Alfi asked hesitantly.

'Just do it Alfi! It's a rare chance to kiss such a beauty' Megumi said tempting him.

'Huh? Shouldn't you envy?' Alfi asked in a confused state.

'Well, yeah, but it's good to have your own romance story with a real woman, isn't it? I do love you just the way you are. And if you are happy with somebody else, it's OK. I will never stop loving you.' Megumi said in blue.

Alfi strokes Megumi's hair gently. 'I do love you too and no one can replace your position. Don't ever think I'll leave you.' He said.

Megumi smiles and wipes her dripping tears (Don't they realize how dangerous the situation they face against is?!)

'Anyway.' Megumi said. 'You have to give her some AR.' Megumi told Alfi.

'But, if I do that, the book can be labeled as 18+. And the worst case is the book can be considered offensive by FPI (a group of bigots, don't ask me about what religion, please. I don't want to have a deal with the court anymore) or such! The Author can be killed by them!' Alfi said in a panic.

"That's why I publish this book on the Internet, you moron," I said.

'What are you talking about anyway? Save her quick!' Megumi said irritated.

Alfi tries to give Kartika some AR. His face is right in front of Kartika's face. His heart beats quickly as if it will break. Alfi sees Kartika's beautiful face that his face turns red. He doesn't feel horny or such, he just feels something more than just a mere lust instead. (Wait a sec, why the hell did I make such narration?!!!)

'I've got an idea!' Alfi exclaimed taking his unworn right jacket's sleeve.

Alfi channels his Iru to the sleeve and turns it into a wind blower.

'You are joking, right?' Megumi asked in amazement.

'Wake up!' Alfi exclaimed putting the tip of the sleeve to Kartika's mouth.

His sleeve blows wind quickly that Kartika's stomach is expanding in no time. It makes Kartika's both eyes open spontaneously. Seeing that, Alfi puts it off from Kartika's mouth. Thanks to his stupid idea, Kartika is awake, and now she is trying to breathe.

'Do you have another stupid idea?!' Kartika exclaimed cynically.

'Hey, at least it worked, right?' Alfi replied calmly. 'Did you expect me to give you some AR?' Alfi asked.

Kartika remains silent with her face turning red.

'I don't think we should tell her how you set her free.' Megumi whispered to him.

'I agree.' Alfi nodded.

'In any case.' Alfi said patting Kartika's head gently. 'You're OK, aren't you?' Alfi asked smiling at her.

Kartika's face turns redder. She just nods without saying anything.

Suddenly, Taye gets up. He looks angry with his polka dot Iru which is burning like fire around him.

'You bastard!' He exclaimed. 'You'll be sorry! You moron!' He shouted angrily.

'He is on berserk!' Megumi exclaimed in fear hiding in Alfi's bracelet.

'He is a weirdo as well. Don't just judge anyone without mirroring you, idiot.' Alfi said calmly.

'That's not the problem, you idiot!' Kartika snapped hitting Alfi's head. 'What a vicious Iru! Don't tell me.....' She added in surprised.

Taye's iru covers him turning him into a meat giant which the meat is a mix of chicken and lamb (Somebody, please send me some food. I am hungry). 'You'll regret this, Your Highness Alfi!' Taye said whose voice heard like bloodthirsty being.

'Impossible!' Kartika said in despair.

Megumi and Pinto look scared seeing that monster.

'What's wrong?' Alfi asked calmly.

'Doesn't he scare you?!' Kartika, Megumi, and Pinto asked irritated.

'Nah, looking at him makes me hungry instead.' Alfi answered calmly.

'Shut the hell up!' Taye shouted. 'Pukulan Sate Kiloan (a Kilo of Satay Fist)!!!' He shouted launching his fist towards Alfi.

'Watch out!' Kartika exclaimed in panic.

Alfi expands his head and eats the whole fist in a jiffy. 'Delicious! More please!' Alfi said happily.

'He.... ate that?!!!' Kartika and Pinto exclaimed in amazement.

'If he attacks me with foods, then what I have to do is simply eat them right?' Alfi explained patting his big stomach.

"Amazing! He did master Doki-Doki in no time! Not only Iru, But He has also reached level 2: Anamo! An ability to manipulate the body's structure!" Kartika said in surprise in her mind.

'If that's so, His Highness can defeat him!' Pinto exclaimed happily.

'Don't be so cocky!' Taye exclaimed growing his hand. 'I can regenerate any of my destroyed body parts. And of course, the regenerated one is stronger than before.' He added. 'This one is 100% lamb.' He said showing off his new hand.

'Yayyyy!' Alfi exclaimed in excitement.

'It does please him!' Kartika exclaimed in amazement.

Taye opens his hand and shows his palm to Alfi. 'Take this! Semburan Bumbu Kacang! (Peanut Dressing Burst)' He exclaimed bursting peanut dressing from his palm. 'Pukulan Sate Kiloan! (A Kilo of Satay Fist)' He exclaimed launching his fist towards Alfi.

Alfi spreads his Iru to catch Taye's fist which has been covered by peanut dressing. Then, Alfi eats it up in a jiffy. 'Delicious! More please!' Alfi exclaimed in excitement. 'Hey, do you have another technique? Like Lontong (Long Riceball) Kick or Shallot Cry?' Alfi asked in excitement patting his stomach.

'He does enjoy it!' Kartika exclaimed in amazement

This weird battle is still going on. Taye keeps attacking Alfi consecutively and Alfi keeps eating them consecutively.

Suddenly, Alfi stops eating. He just punches them with his Iru arm until they are destroyed instead.

'Moron!' Taye said smirking.

'What happened?' Kartika asked seeing Alfi standing sluggish there. 'What happened to Alfi?' Kartika asked him in worry.

Alfi looks in pain. He holds his stomach tightly. 'Gah!!!! My tummy! Toilet! Where the heck is the toilet?!' Alfi shouted in panic hurrying to Gedung Sate to look for a toilet.

'That moron! Isn't it obvious?! You have had those hands more than 50X!' Kartika exclaimed irritated.

'He must be dead.' Taye said in his sly voice.

'What do you mean?' Kartika asked.

'My minions are ready to beat that moron up in there. I feel sorry for that weirdo named Alfi.' Taye explained.

There's a silver light shines on one of the windows. The light blinks quickly and vanishes in no time.

Seeing that, Kartika falls.

'No way! Alfi...' She said in despair. 'Is dead...' She added in despair.

'Don't just stay there young lady, I'll kill you otherwise.' Taye said tempting her and launching his fist towards her.

When his fist almost hits the down Kartika, Kartika closes her eyes. And suddenly, the hand is shot that it's burnt into ashes.

'No way!' Taye exclaimed in surprise.

Kartika opens her eyes slowly. She hears the voice of someone she knows asks her, 'Kartika! Are you OK?' Kartika then moves her head to where the voice came. She's surprised seeing a guy who is standing there without any scratches. But wait, he has an unusual thing with him.

'Alfi!' Kartika exclaimed. 'You're Alfi right?' She asked in amazement.

'Yup! The one and only. Sorry, I'm late.' Alfi answered smiling at her.

'Idiot! What took you so long?' Kartika asked in worry.

'There's no squat toilet.' Alfi answered irritated.

'Huh? How about the minions there?' Kartika asked confused.

'Too weak, I almost didn't notice them.' Alfi answered calmly.

'Then? What took you so long?' Kartika asked confused.

'I was busy looking for a squat toilet. I didn't find it no matter how hard I tried, but good grief I found this!' Alfi answered showing something he holds to her.

'A plunger? Are you joking?' Kartika asked in disgust.

'This plunger can turn a conventional toilet into the squat one! Just embed it to the toilet, and voila! It will get drowned and turn into a squat toilet!' Alfi explained in excitement.

'You bastard! How dare you ignore my existence!!' Taye exclaimed irritated. 'Take this! Meteor Daging! (Meat meteor)' He exclaimed launching a million of small burnt meats towards them.

Alfi aims them with the plunger and shoots a million of fireballs to destroy those meats.

'Megumi! Ultimate technique!' Alfi exclaimed.

'Yes, honey.' Megumi answered warmly.

Alfi kisses his bracelet and then Iru comes from his bracelet and shines the plunger. 'Teknik Jitu: Peluru Pertama: Kabut Panas! (Ultimate Technique: Bullet No.1: Heat Wave)' He exclaimed shooting red wave and burning that meat monster perfectly.

'No!!!!' Taye screamed burnt by the wave into ashes.

Gedung Sate then turns into normal (You must know what I mean.)

'We did it Megumi!' Alfi exclaimed in excitement putting his weapon, the plunger back to his bracelet. Yes, you didn't misread it, his bracelet does absorb it.

'Amazing!' Kartika said impressed.

Alfi walks towards Kartika and smiles at her.

'Are you OK?' Alfi asked.

'I am.' Kartika replied briefly. 'By the way, how did you get that weapon?' She asked.

Alfi touches his bracelet and 12 halation come on his bracelet. Those halations are connected like a chain. There's a number on each halation, 1 - 12 that makes his bracelet look like a watch.

Alfi touches the halation with number 1 on it and the plunger appears from the bracelet.

'This one?' Alfi asked.

'Yes.' Kartika replied briefly.

'When I was busy looking for a squat toilet, Megumi told me that there was a thing which could help me in my bracelet. I was confused at first that I ignored her hint and continued looking for it till the moment when I was ambushed by polka dot cloaked with pink base folks. I was dying that I touched my bracelet with no reason and accidentally I pulled this one out. This weapon is really strong and useful for a squat toilet user like me!' Alfi explained giggling.

"12 halation? Super strong weird weapon? 12 holy weapons! It's true! He's the one! The world will be saved." Kartika exclaimed in her mind.

'Megumi.' Alfi called her.

'Yes, dear?' Megumi answered coming out from Alfi bracelet.

'I'm really happy today.' Alfi said smiling at them.

Megumi and Kartika smile at him as well.

'Thank goodness.' Megumi said in excitement.

'Wait, What's that?' Kartika said pointing a little box lying not so far from Alfi.

Kartika takes it. It's a little box as big as a box of matches. It's brown and there's a little screen in the middle.

Kartika transfers her Iru into it. Its screen then shows a place and someone's profile

'It looks like their next target.' Kartika said.

'Alfi! We have to go to Garut immediately!' Kartika exclaimed. 'This one is really strong!' She added.

Suddenly Alfi loses his consciousness.

'Alfi!!!' Megumi exclaimed in panic.

Kartika channels her Iru to Alfi's body to examine his condition.

'Don't worry Megumi, he's just tired out.' Kartika said in relief.

'Thank goodness.' Megumi said in relief.

'Pinto, our next destination is Babancong, Garut.' Kartika commanded Pinto.

'Very well.' Pinto answered emitting light from his beak and the light catches them three.

The three are teleported to each bedroom. Alfi and Megumi are in the same bedroom since Megumi is Alfi's waifu, technically they are husband and wife, not to mention Megumi is a part of Alfi's power.

'Alright! Next stop: Babancong!' Pinto exclaimed flying through the sky at full speed.

Alfi is asleep on his bed. Megumi is sitting next to him taking care of him because she worries about his current condition.

Suddenly the door is opened; Kartika is there in her white bed dress bringing a glass of water for Alfi. She puts the glass on the drawer near his bed.

'Don't worry Megumi, he'll recover in no time.' Kartika said cheering Megumi up.

'Thank you, Kartika.' Megumi answered.

Kartika leaves Alfi's room. Kartika looks sad seeing Alfi's current condition as well. In fact, she feels sorrowful more than Megumi. When Kartika is about to close the door, she hears Alfi says, 'Has she left yet?'

'Yes.' Megumi answered briefly.

Kartika then eavesdrops their conversation through the door.

'Feeling better?' Megumi asked.

'Kinda.' Alfi answered briefly.

Kartika is surprised hearing a cry which is Alfi's cry.

'There, there, Alfi, please don't cry.' Megumi said stroking Alfi's hair gently.

"Alfi? Crying?" Kartika thought in wonder.

Alfi sobs and asks, 'Why am I still alive in this pathetic world?'

'There must be a reason.' Megumi said persuading Alfi. 'Didn't you promise Kartika to help her save the world?' Megumi asked.

'I did, but still, I haven't found that light.' Alfi sobbed.

'Don't worry Alfi, I will always be with you. Because I know that someday you will be happy.' Megumi said cheering him by stroking his hair more gently.

'Thanks, Megumi.' Alfi said getting up and kissing her forehead gently.

'Anyway Alfi.' Megumi said.

'Yes?' Alfi responded.

'What do you think about Kartika?' Megumi asked.

Kartika's face is turning red that her Iru comes out from her head as if it's steam.

'Well.' Alfi thought. 'She is beautiful, smart and kind, but too bad she is so grumpy. But, that's what makes me like her.' He explained.

'Why don't you tell her?' Megumi asked.

'Nah, I don't want to.' Alfi refused.

Kartika is surprised hearing it. She feels like she wants to rush to her room and cry it over. But, for some reason, she wants to keep listening to their conversation.

'Why?' Megumi asked.

"Yes, Why Alfi?" Kartika asked in her mind.

'Because I don't want to lose her.' Alfi answered briefly.

'What do you mean?' Megumi asked confused.

'Well, I'm afraid she doesn't fall for me. I am afraid that she will leave me if she knows that a guy like me loves a beauty like her. Many

handsome guys suit to be with her instead of me. Anyway, I don't want to make anyone love me because they feel sorry for me..' Alfi explained.

'I see. I know that you are a good guy, Alfi.' Megumi said smiling at him.

'Thanks, Megumi.' Alfi said back to sleep followed by Megumi who lies down next to him. 'Goodnight Megumi.' Alfi said gently kissing her forehead.

Alfi closes his eyes and goes back to sleep.

Kartika looks sad after listening to their conversation. She's never felt such feeling before. Her heart does beat faster than ever.

When she's about to go to her room, suddenly she hears someone says, 'You were eavesdropping, weren't you?'

Kartika turns her head and surprised.

'Me...Megumi! How can you get out of Alfi's bracelet?' Kartika asked in surprise.

'Did you forget? A Ribo like me can leave her Jowa in a radius less than 5 km. So I can stand here, isn't it?' Megumi explained. 'You haven't answered my question.' She added.

'Yes... I did. I'm sorry.' Kartika said in blue.

Megumi smiles and says, 'It's OK. Can we talk for a sec? Girl's talk.' Megumi invited Kartika winking her eye.

'O...ok.' Kartika answered awkwardly.

They both then go to the top. They stand near the rail enjoying a view of the night of Bandung City.

'What do you want to talk about?' Kartika asked standing next to Megumi who is enjoying the beautiful view.

'You love Alfi, don't you?' Megumi asked Kartika directly.

Kartika just remains silent awkwardly.

'Alfi is a really nice guy. He will sacrifice anything even his life for the ones he relies on, but too bad, they just exploited him as they wanted' Megumi explained irritated. 'Not only had his friends but also his family even dared to evict him. He was really depressed at that time, but good grief, he still believed that I was always there for him. I really wanted to hug him and convince him that his life isn't just full of sadness and despair.' Megumi added.

'What do you mean?' Kartika asked.

'If you weren't there, he would be dead for sure. He planned to commit suicide hoping he would see me in the next life.' Megumi added ignoring Kartika.

Megumi starts to cry, but then she wipes her tears.

Kartika still remains silent. It looks like she begins to understand Alfi.

'So Kartika.' Megumi said holding both of Kartika's hands. 'Please help him! Show him that the world is the best place to live! I don't want to see him sad anymore! He is too nice to be hurt.' She asked.

Kartika smiles at her and says, 'OK, I promised.'

'I beg you Kartika, You heard it, didn't you? Alfi does love you. I was sad hearing it, but I'm sure you are the one who can wipe the darkness in his life!' Megumi said happily disappearing back to Alfi's bracelet.

Kartika is enjoying the view. What Megumi has said is still stuck on her mind.

"Alfi, how much burden have you suffered? Am I good enough to be with you?' Kartika asked in her mind.

Meanwhile, Alfi awakes. He takes his jacket which was hung on the wall and put it on properly since the air is chilling. Alfi then goes to the top to get some good views.

When Alfi gets there, He found Kartika enjoying the view as well. Then he walks towards her.

'Can't sleep eh?' Alfi asked standing next to her.

Kartika nods. 'How about you?' She asked.

'Kinda, but don't worry, I've transferred my Iru to my body to recover my stamina.' Alfi answered.

'Me too.' Kartika said smiling at him.

'Kartika.' Alfi called her.

'Yes?' Kartika replied.

'I am afraid.' Alfi said shaking.

'What? What are you afraid of?' Kartika asked worrying him.

'I am afraid....' Alfi said.

Kartika is getting tense because she's worrying Alfi very much.

'I am afraid of jetlag.' Alfi said giggling.

Kartika gets irritated and hits Alfi countless times. 'Idiot! We are just going to Garut! There's no way you'll get jetlag! You're such a sucker! (Bandung to Garut is approximately 219 Km.)' Kartika exclaimed irritated hitting Alfi.

'OK, I am sorry. Time out!' Alfi asked laughing and resisting her jabs.

Suddenly Alfi pats her head gently. Kartika then stops hitting Alfi and remains silent with her red face.

'Don't worry.' Alfi said stroking her hair gently. 'I will always protect you because you are my friend.' He added.

Kartika then starts crying and hugging Alfi tightly and Alfi hugs Kartika and strokes her hair gently.

"He is a weirdo and a perv, but for some reason, I love him just the the way he is," Kartika said in her mind.
