"You ready to roll?" The driver, the only elderly person in the bus asked.
"No, not yet," Emily said as she turned around to see who and whom were inside the bus. They were already ready and prepared to leave. The players had already placed their luggage in the bus and had taken their seats. As she looked around, she couldn't find everyone else except Kan.
"Where's Kan?" She asked herself. She was sitting in the front seat close to the door, so she walked out of the car to look for Kan. As she was walking out, she met Kan immediately by the door also walking in.
"Where were you?" She asked Kan.
"Uhmmm, just saying farewell," Kan replied.
Emily raised her head and saw Ellie standing at a fair distance from the bus. She was staring at both of them.
Emily didn't want to ask questions, so she moved back into the bus to sit while Kan followed her in. She took her seat in the front seat, and there was a free space beside her, so she urged Kan to sit beside her.
As Kan sat down, he heard his mum's voice outside the bus calling him, "Kanakan? Kanakan? Kan?"
Kan recognized his mother's voice and immediately walked out of the bus to meet her.
"Mum?" He said as he saw her standing in front of the bus.
"Kan, you're almost leaving, right?" She said.
"Yeah, we will be leaving in a minute or two," Kan replied.
"Okay... I've noticed a change in your behavior at home these days; I hope it's not about the questions you've been asking us?" She asked. As she said those words, Kan looked down and sighed heavily.
"I know you're eager to know more about it, but it's best for your safety," his mum replied.
"But..." Kan was about to say when his mum interrupted.
"It's just about your dad's past life, Kan. The past is behind," his mum said.
"But it's back hunting you, I guess!" Kan replied.
Suddenly, the driver signaled, saying, "It's go time, folks! Buckle up, everyone." Kan and his mum knew it was time for them to depart.
"I have to go, Mum," Kan said to his mum. He wanted to take a seat in the bus before the driver started the engine.
"Here, take this," his mum said as she removed a ring from her finger and gave it to Kan. Kan stretched out his hand and collected it.
The ring was black in color and had a small, long ear design on it, signifying it belonged to an elf.
"Do you like it?" His mum asked him. Kan smiled and replied, "Yeah, it's beautiful."
His mum was relieved to hear that, so she said, "This will bring good luck for you. Keep it safe."
Kan smiled and thanked his mum, saying, "Thank you, Mum."
As he said that, his mum hugged him tightly, and Kan hugged her back.
"Puh! Puh!" The driver blew the horn, signifying their time of departure.
As his mum was about to let go of him, so he could board the bus, Kan unknowingly mentioned the phrase he couldn't remember from the previous days.
"Von Shizaros!" Kan said without realizing it.
"What?" His mum asked, puzzled. Kan stood puzzled, not knowing what his mum was saying.
"What did you just say? Who told you that?" His mum asked curiously as she held him with both hands on both shoulders.
"I didn't say anything, Mum," Kan replied. It was obvious he couldn't remember saying anything.
The driver blew another horn before shouting, "He won't off himself, so why the drawn-out goodbye?" The driver said a bit annoyed.
Kan's mum, recognizing Kan's genuine reply, allowed him to leave.
"You can go now; take care of yourself," she said, nodding in response.
Kan hurriedly entered the bus, finding the seat Emily had saved for him still available, and sat down beside her.
The driver swiftly started the journey, and as they moved away, Kan's mum stood still, watching the bus until it departed.
During the journey, Kan remained somewhat silent, focusing on the ring his mum had given him. It felt unusual, as he had never seen his mother wear the ring before today.
"What a nice ring," Emily remarked after noticing Kan's focus on it.
"Oh, thanks. It was given to me today," Kan responded.
"By the lady I saw you with?" Emily inquired, referring to Ellie.
"No, it was given to me by my mum," Kan replied with a smile. Emily nodded in understanding and reciprocated with a smile.
"Can I see it?" she asked, stretching forth her hand towards Kan. Wearing an armless shirt, as she raised her hand, Kan glimpsed the white bra she was wearing inside, prompting a smile.
He handed her the ring, and she took a closer look at it.
"Have you worn it yet?" She asked.
"Nope, not yet. Mum said it's for good luck," Kan replied.
"Not everyone needs good luck; some just have to work harder," Emily remarked as she stretched her hand back to return the ring to Kan.
Kan reached out to accept it when suddenly, the bus hit a slight pothole on the road. As they jolted, Kan's hand missed its target and went straight into Emily's shirt through the armless side.
As his hands went through, it gently brushed against her bra.
She turned to look at Kan before smiling and saying, "your hands know their favorite part to hold onto, I believe."
Undeterred, Kan didn't remove his hand. He looked around to see if the other players were noticing them.
Fortunately, most of the players were occupied, either sleeping or chatting with one another.
Kan saw that as a perfect opportunity, so he moved closer to Emily and cupped her boobs within the cups of the bra.
Emily, under reflex, pushed her chest forward, creating a better surface for Kan to feel her curves. Kan grabbed her right curve and squeezed them gently. Her bra was not so stiff, so he could still feel her curves below.
Emily closed her eyes and leaned against Kan to savor the sweet sensations from what Kan was doing.
As she leaned closer to Kan, he moved his other hand behind her and grabbed her left breast through the other armless side once more.
Her lips parted a bit in sensation and pleasure, clearly enjoying the moment.
Kan continued his duties, caressing gently.
Unsatisfied, he craved the sensation of her skin beneath the bra.
Moving his hands to the edge of the bra, he raised them gently before slipping them beneath and fondled them gently.
Sensing his desire, Emily subtly moved herself from Kan's body and skillfully unhooked her bra without drawing attention.
As her bra descended, Kan seized the opportunity, gently exploring her soft naked breasts.
This continued throughout the journey, both immersed in the moment, losing track of time and distance.
After a few hours, the driver started slowing down after about 5 hours of continuous driving without hitting the brakes.
Kan and Emily realized they were almost at their destination or might have already arrived.
Kan withdrew his hand from her shirt, and she quickly adjusted her bra, struggling a bit to hook it. Kan offered a helping hand.
Looking out of the window, Kan saw numerous people moving around, some carrying luggage, and others in football jerseys.
It became evident that they had reached their destination.
Suddenly, the driver made an announcement, "We made it, team! Shoutout to the top-notch driver in town – turned an 11-hour trip into a smooth 5-hour ride."
The other players inside the bus erupted in cheers, delighted to have safely reached the competition ground.
As the bus stopped at a park, the door opened, and the players, excluding Kan and Emily, rushed out.
Notwithstanding the short journey, Kan and Emily couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
After disembarking, a small car arrived, and Coach Nami, along with some school officials, stepped out.
"Now, all of you should take some rest. You are to occupy Hostel 4Z. The beds are available there according to the number of players present.
Refreshments will be provided in the meantime. Try as much as you can to behave yourselves. I will now go to complete the rest of the clearance procedure," Coach Nami announced as she turned to the officials, and they spoke indistinctively before walking away.
"Got her message, grab your bags, and clear the way for me to hit the road back," the driver instructed, and the players rushed into the bus to retrieve their luggage.
Kan only had a big backpack, so it wasn't much of a problem for him.
Emily, on the other hand, had more luggage than anyone else in the crowd. Unable to carry them all, Kan volunteered to help her once more.
As they reached their hostel compound, there was a loud noise coming from the neighboring hostel. They had arrived much earlier than Kan's group.
As Emily was about to enter the hostel, she heard her sister's voice from behind calling, "Emily?"
