Ndlov was a hardworking farmer who had been struggling to keep his farm afloat. Just when things seemed to be at their bleakest, he found a way to turn his fortunes around. News of his success quickly spread, and he soon became something of a local celebrity.

One day, Ndlov received an invitation to appear on a popular speech show, and he knew he couldn't pass up such an opportunity. He decided to bring his good friend Nivle along with him.

As Ndlov and Nivle made their way to the studio, they had an unexpected encounter with Bedal, the local superhero. Bedal was delivering food to the show by chance, but he couldn't help but be intrigued by the farmer and his angelic friend.

"Who are you, masked man?" Ndlov asked.

"I'm Bedal. Did you order the ramen?"

"Uhhhh....No?"

"I'm kidding. I know you and your fella are the main guys of this show. You must be very nervous, right?"

"Not really. It's all the human things." Nivle said.

"Ohh...such a brave fella you have, mr. Ndlov." Bedal said.

"They are calling us, Nivle. We gotta go, masked man!" Ndlov said and left.

"Call me Bedal next time!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ndlov and Nivle!"

"Waaaaa!!!"

As Ndlov and Nivle entered the showroom, everyone applaused.

"I guess the masked man was right. I'm kinda excited, a little bit." Nivle whispered to Ndlov.

"Please sit here. The local hero! Can you introduce yourself first?"

"Uh... I am Ndlov, a farmer, who likes to go fishing... And.... Likes strawberries?"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.

"Hahaha! Thank you, mr.Ndlov. Let me start with this question..."

The show continues like 30 minutes.

Ndlov and Nivle was getting used to the talk, and Bedal was watching them, standing behind the audience.

"Hahahaha! That was unexpected, Ndlov!"

"I still don't know why I did that." Ndlov said, and drank a glass of water in front of him.

"So then I..." Ndlov stopped saying.

"What's wrong, Ndlov?"

"I...I..." Ndlov fainted.

"Call 911!" "What is going on!?"

The show became a mess.

"Someone poisoned the water. Ndlov, Ndlov! Say something!" Nivle holds Ndlov's hand and shouted.

Ndlov's heart was stopped.

It seemed like all was lost.

"What the hell..." Bedal spotted at a man quickly leaving the show.

"Why is that man looking so suspicious?"

"By the god, I shall share my half of life to Ndlov! This is not where he should die." Holding Ndlov's hand, Nivle shouted.

Then, a mysterious shining light covered Ndlov and Nivle.

"Where is the light coming from?"

"Nivle is a wizard!" "No, I think he's an angel!"

"Cough!" Ndlov's heart started to beat again.

"Ndlov! Are you okay?"

"I thought I was dying."

"We gotta find who did this."

A security team quickly entered the showroom.

"We found a suspicious man who touched the water before the show. According to the camera, he just left the building."

"Wait, who is this guy chasing him in the camera?"

"It's Bedal! He's in danger!"

Bedal was chasing the assassin with his roller skate.

The assassin was running, but he stopped at the dead end.

"You are the assassin, right?" Bedal said.

Without saying anything, assassin took two knifes.

"Uh, oh. Dude, I'm a delivery man, not a fighter!" Bedal said.

Riding a motorbike, Ndlov and Nivle was following Bedal.

"Nivle, I think Bedal is buying us some time to catch the assassin."

"Only if he is safe, Ndlov! Drive faster!"

The assassin tried to stab Bedal quickly.

"Oh, no! Mr.assassin! I said I can't fight, but not dodging!"

Stepping on the wall, Bedal dodged the knife and landed behind the assassin.

"I can do this all day."

The assassin turned back and tackled Bedal.

"Hey-" Bedal fell down.

The assassin stabbed Bedal.

I mean, the assassin was about to stab.

Ndlov rushed to the assassin and captured him.

"You okay, Bedal?" Nivle ran towards to Bedal.

"I think I need to go to toilet."

After the incident, Ndlov, Nivle, and Bedal became famous not just in their local community, but around the world.

"Ndlov! Nivle! Bedal!"

"Ndlov, how did you catch the assassin?

"Nivle! Are you really an angel?

"Who are you, Bedal?"

They were hailed as heroes, and the media couldn't get enough of their inspiring story.

As they spent more time together, Ndlov, Nivle, and Bedal formed a deep and lasting friendship, one that would carry them through many more adventures in the years to come.

"So... you guys have to go back to the farm?" Bedal asked to Ndlov and Nivle.

"Yes. I think city doesn't suit well for us." Ndlov said.

"But we will call you if we visit the city, Bedal." Nivle said.

Bedal touched their shoulders.

"Okay, guys... It was nice to meet you."

"Me too. Bedal. Thank you." Ndlov and Nivle said.

"Whenever you are ready, just call me."

Meanwhile, there was a yellow-masked man taking a call.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Saja."

"You must be sorry. Do you know how important it was?"

"Hey, you are not my boss. Careful your words."

The man took off the call.

"These idiots..."

But he was still smiling.
