After dealing with Maya, Ares exited the mansion accompanied by Irethiel and Meira. Soon after, Elaine emerged from the castle and joined them.

As they stepped outside, Ares couldn't help but ask, "How are we going to reach the capital?"

Elaine, with a hint of admiration in her voice, suggested, "Why don't you just fly there with those magnificent wings of yours? You looked like a devil— I mean, an angel. It truly impressed me. I wish I had wings like that."

'So she saw me using Pazuzu's wings?'

Ares gave her a blank stare for a moment before responding, "...I don't know how to fly well yet."

!!

Elaine muttered in disbelief, "...You can't be serious, right?"

"I'm not joking. In all honesty, I never had the opportunity to learn how to fly properly, so please leave me alone," Ares replied, his tone slightly defensive.

"Tsk, what a waste of such cool wings," Elaine said, shaking her head in disappointment.
