After searching through her bedroom wardrobe for quite a while, Angel finally chose the knee-length dress she had bought but never worn.
Most of the clothes hanging in her wardrobe were shirts and trousers for everyday wear. They were not only convenient for daily movement but also kept her attire as consistent as possible with that of her Nighthawk teammates.
But last night, Melissa Moretti had secretly knocked on her door in the middle of the night, wearing a pleading expression as she suggested that Angel "wear something different from usual."
Only after being questioned repeatedly did Melissa reveal the truth.
It turned out that she had made a bet with her brother Klein: if Angel dressed the same as usual for the celebration, she would lose 50 pence.
Though Angel had some doubts about whether the bet was real, considering that Melissa had come to visit in the middle of the night, she agreed to this small request.
Changing into a long dress and a conservatively styled blouse was already the greatest concession she was willing to make!
But as a Nighthawk and a Beyonder, there were certain things she could not compromise on for the safety of herself and those around her.
She secured Bloodthirst's holster and her dagger sheath to her left and right thighs with garters. After letting down the skirt, she stood before the mirror and examined herself from both sides. Beneath the loose dress, they were neither visible nor formed any strange bulges. As for the Magician Pocket Watch that had been wrapped around her left wrist, she could only put it into her blouse pocket.
That way, even if she encountered danger, she would still have the strength to fight. At the very least, she could protect Melissa and Benson...
