Girls Und Panzer - The Missing Heir

Kuromorimine Arc: Chapter 68 - Emotions

[Nishizumi Household]

"This is not the first time Gero's eyes glowed golden yellow..this is the second time.." Ono spoke

(A loud noise came from Shiho's direction because she accidentally dropped her teacup after hearing what Ono said)

"I-Impossible.." Shiho said

(Everyone then saw a very disturbing expression on SHiho's face field with fear and worry for her son. All of their plans to help Gero was already shot down by this sudden news from Ono)

"Then..Gero-kun is already at the second stage of possession?!" Darjeeling asked

"Based on what Nishizumi-sama has explained..then yes he is.." Ono answered

"When was the first time then!?" Katyusha asked

"The match we led Pravda up that snowy mountain during the 1st National Joint High School Senshado Tournament..that was the first time I saw Gero's eyes glow.."

"What!? Already from that time?!" Takashi reacted

"But how?! What triggered his Awakening?!" Shiho asked

"Try to remember..what happened before we went up that mountain.." Ono said

(When all of them started to remember the events of that match one thing came into their minds. As they remembered what happened they all looked towards Miho and Kal)

"That's right..when Kallan-kun pushed Miho-san's tank off a hill triggered the emotional shock..seeing his little sister attacked like that activated the sacred Possession.." Ono said

"So it's my fault.." Kal said

"Uhmm..please don't blame Kal-kun..he didn't mean to do that to me..and he already apologized to me properly..onii-chan also forgave him.. " Miho said

"It's okay Miho-san..this is the consequences of my sins..I won't run away from them..but please tell me how we can fix this..for Gero-kun's sake and for my conscience as well.." Kal said

"Don't worry..nobody is blaming you..Gero-chan's awakening would've happened in another way if you didn't trigger it..the important part now is how to deal with him in the second stage.." Darjeeling said

(Everyone then looked upon Shiho for her orders but all they saw was a hopeless expression on her face)

"Shiporin?" Chiyo asked

"Now that my son has entered the second stage of Sacred Possession..there's nothing more we could do..all we can do is hope that he can overcome this stage and make it to the third and final stage.." Shiho said

"Why?! Why can't we help onii-sama?!" Maho reacted

"I told you that in the second stage the user enters a contract with the voice of possession..once the contract is made it can never be broken or undone..entering this contract has both benefits and consequences.." Shiho said

"Benefits and consequences? Please explain to us.." Kikuyo said

"The Benefit is the ability to activate Sacred Possession once a day..but once you activate it you can't turn it off and you have to wait for the seven minute time limit.."

"You mean his heart could stop again?! He'll die if that happens again!" Kay reacted

"Don't worry..in the second stage "Activation" the toll on the body is now lifted and he will no longer have any side effects when using Sacred Possession.."

"I see..that's a relief.." Anchovy said

"But..something a lot worse will now happen to him.." Shiho said
