[Touken Ranbu] A Lady Walking Along a Tree-Lined Path

A few things to know before reading My name is Ye Qing. I took my father's surname. I don't know where my name came from or whether it has any particular meaning... My father never told me, and I never cared. Here's what happened. I was not yet twenty when I took over my father's position and became a colonel. Then I received a secret mission from the government. Its name was strange: [Touken Ranbu]. It made me think of a former colleague, a guy who graduated from the same military academy as me and also became a colonel. He disappeared two years ago, after accepting a mission called [Kantai Collection]. In other words, if I take this mission, I might disappear for several years too. So, can I refuse it?
