Girls Und Panzer - The Missing Heir

Chapter 19 - Your Brother and My Son

[Ooarai Field Hospital - 9PM]

(Gero is still unconscious and have been in that state for about 9 Hours already without any signs of waking up. Miho and the rest were in his hospital room ever since the event ended. Miho and Maho were sitting at both sides of the bed and were holding Gero's hands)

"Has Gero-dono been like this all afternoon?" Yukari asked

"Yeah..Matsu-kun hasn't woken at all" Ken said

"Miporin..I brought you and Maho-san some food..both of you haven't eaten anything right?" Saori said

"Thank you Saori-san..we couldn't leave Gero alone here.."

"What is Gero-san's condition right now?" Hana asked

"The doctor said that..."

[3 Hours Ago]

(Maho and Miho headed for the hospital right away after the event to check on Gero's condition)

"Excuse me, we are looking for a patient named Gero Matsumoto" Maho said

"He is staying at room 107, down the hall then last room to your right" the nurse said

"Thank you!"

(A doctor suddenly left Gero's room and told them his current state)

"Doctor! What is Gero-kun's condition? How is he?"

"Are you his tankery comrades?" asked the Doctor

"Yes we are, please tell us he is going to be alright!" Miho said

"Do not worry, your friend is out of critical condition, rest assured."

"T-That's good to hear.." Maho said

"But..he is still unconscious and we don't know when he will wake up.."

(Miho and Maho was shocked to hear that their brother is in a coma)

"He lost a lot of blood due to his wound, and suffered a severe concussion. His fever is gone now but according to our checkups he is also sleep deprived. He must have had sleepless nights before the competition and then his body couldn't handle the burden anymore along with the fatigue"

"For..how long do you think he wasn't able to get any sleep doctor?" Maho asked

"Based on his condition when he was brought here about 2 weeks.."

"2 weeks..that long..is there anything that we can do to help him? Anything at all?" Miho said

"We have done the best we could, all we can do now is to wait until he wakes up.."

"Thank you very much for saving his life doctor!" Maho said and bowed

"You are very welcome, he is the commander of that White Tiger right?"

"Yes he is..how did you know?"

"I was watching the event..he has grown quite well!" said the doctor with a smile

(Both were confused at what the doctor said but ignored it. The doctor left them and both entered the room to see their brother lying in bed asleep with a bandage over his wound and they never left him alone)

"So..that's his current condition..no changes since we got here.." Miho said

"2 weeks of no sleep..must have been hell.." Mako said

"Back in Tokyo Gero always overslept and I had to come by his house to pick him up every morning before we go to school..it was weird for him to get no sleep" Ono said
