“Well, there is that, but...”
“Mm?”
Lee Hyeon-Su chuckled helplessly. “Master, you may not know this because you aren't Korean. Every Korean has thought about fighting a war against Japan at least once in their life. Either they fantasized about it or cooked up strategies based on reality.”
“Mm, I see.”
“However, everyone always arrived at the same conclusion. There’s nothing to gain by fighting a war. And the odds aren’t exactly in our favor, either. Then again, that’s what war is like, isn’t it?”
“Indeed, Mister Lee. War can be nebulous like that.”
