"Captain Ars, I'll ask you overlapping. I'd like to know why anyone sentenced to 10 years in prison six years ago is here in the Valentine's Republic!

Shester stared jizzily at the judge's seat and asked again against Ars, who wouldn't move.

Then Ars turned around in a slow motion and looked at Shester and said.

"I'm on parole. So here I am."

Then Shester smiled at this answer.

"Well... are you on parole... with only six years in prison for ten years"

"Yeah, it's true."

"That means... you've had your sentence commuted, right?

"Yes."

"Why? Why is 10 years in prison on parole in just six years?

"Come on... I don't know"

Then attorney general Kokhol interrupted from the side.

"I was nothing more than an exemplary prisoner. Your Honor, Mr. Ars did once receive a 10-year prison sentence, but his exemplary attitude reduced his sentence and he was finally released on parole last month."

"I see... I just wanted to ask you something. But in my Republic of Valentin, you should not be released on parole until at least two-thirds of your prison sentence has elapsed. I mean, if it's ten years in prison, only a few, but after six years, it should still be too early for parole. I want to ask you there. Are sentence commutations treated differently in the Pope of Lowenglin?

Shester's query was answered somewhat painfully by attorney general Kokhol.

"... uh... well, even in Lowenglin, a two-thirds course of imprisonment seems inherently necessary, but this is just not absolute. If you ask me, it's like custom, not legally explicit. And it's the same in Valentine."

"... I see. But even if it's not explicitly cultured, that means that, in practice, two-thirds of the process is required, right? Your Honor, is the perception around there the same for your Honor?

The judge was questioned by Shester and thought about it a little.

"... Yep. I have the same perception."

"Then I ask you overlapping, how many cases are paroled even though two-thirds have not passed?

Then the judge twisted his neck to this inquiry.

"... you've hardly heard of it. Practice weighs in, and it's not that easy to break down."

Then Shester raised her mouth again and laughed.

"Is that still true? So you're saying a sentence is so commuted that it's almost unprecedented?

Then Kokhol raised his voice to put in the cross spear.

"Wait a minute! Not that there's no precedent at all!

Shester turned to the presiding judge when he gave a cold glance at Cohol, who he claimed aloud.

And he said it with a quiet, calm voice.

"Your Honor, like Mr. Lukak earlier, this witness is not likely to be credible enough?
