Um.... is there someone kind enough to explain what is happening right now?

This looks really bad...

Why is everyone looking at me... No, why is everyone looking at both of us with weird gazes as if they have seen something unusual?

Do I have something on my face...?

Do I look weird in some places...?

Just what made them look at us with such gazes?

There were even several that looked at us with contempt. Just what do they see us?

... I think wearing a black jacket with hood in broad daylight is a bad idea. Yup, I do look like someone suspicious.

"Hey, Ray, I just want to confirm something... You don't know why they looked at with such gazes, do you?"

"Eh...? Elizabeth, do you perhaps know it?"

Looking at the silver haired beautiful woman beside me, wearing black color clothes as well, I asked her sincerely.

Well, I indeed don't know the reason after all. Sincerely asking is the basic etiquette.

Now that Elizabeth took the initiative to speak, I just remembered that she is a daughter of a Duke.

Hmm, indeed, her identity is enough to garner attention but... the way people looking at us doesn't seem to be because of that.

... Oi, stop looking at me as if your looking at an uncivilized person!

"... Just where did Father get you? He didn't found you in the jungle, right? How come you don't even know common sense about society?"

... Well, I do reflect on that.

"*sigh*... I can't believe that I will someday teach an adult about common sense today. Listen, in this city... No, in entire South of Magus continent, color of the clothes are hierarchical. The color of the clothes signifies the status each individual after all."

"... Eh, so there is such thing... And? what's wrong with our color black clothes? Don't tell me that it's at the bottom of the hierarchy?"

Probing while laughing jokingly, I speculated that black color clothes have indeed lower status.

"That's right, Black color clothes signifies... even lower than known bottom of the hierarchical status."

... And so she says with a lot of frustration and indignation. While clenching her fists and her teethes, she looked down feeling hopeless and full of injustice.
