40. Accepting a master

"Big brother, wake up!"

"Umm, what is it?"

Andy woke up from his sleep and looked at his cute wife who was making a worried face. Her hairs were wet and she already wore her clothes back.

'Dammit! I wanted to take a bath with her' thought Andy

"Big brother it looked like you were in pain, were you having a bad dream?"

Thats right ever since Andy was shot, he dreamt about it every time he fell asleep. He still remembers that intense and burning pain after getting shot.

Andy sighed and shook his head and thought 'He was probably one of those husbands whose wife I stole'

"I am fine melty, just a bad dream, let me get ready as well then we will go meet your mother and headmistress"

Andy then took a bath and got ready in Andrew form and they left the room to go to headmistress' room. Melty was tightly holding on to her big brother's hand, as if he would get away if she let go.

*knock knock*

"Come in" said headmistress and both Andy and Melty entered the room.

Headmistress was sitting on couch and Mia was lying her head in her master's lap and was sleeping. Headmistress was gently caressing her disciple's face.

"This is first time in years since I saw her sleeping so peacefully. Ever since her daughter fell sick I haven't seen her smile or joke around even once... Until you came little boy. So thank you"

"You don't have to thank me headmistress. I am the one who profited the most. I got the cutest wife in the world" said Andy and Melty immediately blushed.

At that point Mia woke up and looked at her daughter, standing on her own feet and tears started falling from her eyes. She immediately got up and hugged her daughter.

"Thank god you are alright now Melty! *sob* *sob*"

"Mother please don't cry, I am fine now" said Melty as she gently wiped the tears from her mother's face.

"Fufu~ yes no more crying anymore. So tell me sweetie, did your husband treat you well?" Mia expression immediately changed from that of crying to teasing and asked her daughter.

Melty turned her head down in shame and bashfully said "Y-Yes mother, big brother was very gentle to me~"

"Little girl, are you able to circulate your mana freely now? Is there any pain?" asked headmistress

"Yes big sister, I can circulate my mana now! There is no pain" said Melty happily

Without even thinking, Andy muttered

"Big sister? Shouldn't you be calling her grandmother or something?"

Temperature of the room immediately dropped and Andy felt the same way as he did when that truck approached him in his past life.

"Ah please forgive me big sister, you see this junior is a bit dumb!" apologised Andy immediately.

"Call me master, then I will forgive you" said headmistress with a cold voice.

"What?!" Both Andy and Mia looked at headmistress in shock. Till now headmistress only accepted 2 direct disciples Lily and Mia.

Headmistress kept looking at Andy with a cold expression. Andy gulped a mouthful of saliva, bowed his head and said

"Disciple greets master"

"Hmph! how rude, you dare greet you master with a fake appearance?! And while accepting a master you need to kowtow!"

"What?!" Once again both Andy and Mia were shocked, but Melty wasn't which headmistress noticed. Looking at that headmistress nodded 'At least he didn't deceive this little girl' she thought.

"How did you know master? Do you know my real identity" asked Andy

"Do you think this master of yours is dumb like you little boy? The moment you sent your mana in my body during handshake, I could tell your correct age. You are only a few month older than Melty but look like someone in mid 20s, so it is pretty obvious you are using some trick to change your appearance. And no I don't know about your real identity."

"Son-in-law how could you deceive my daughter like that?!" asked Mia angrily.

"Why do I always get dumb disciples? Is it my curse? He clearly didn't deceive your daughter, just look at your daughter once and you can tell. Your daughter knows his true identity."

"Eh?" Mia then looked at her daughter who wasn't shocked at all.

"It is fine if you don't want to reveal your true appearance to us, I won't force you." said headmistress.

Andy then thought for a minute and said

"Master, mother-in-law please don't reveal my true identity to anyone, I don't want to bring any troubles for my family"

Both headmistress and Mia agreed to his request.

"Alright here I go" said Andy and changed from Andrew to Andy.

Andy was about to kowtow to his master in his true form when suddenly Mia tightly hugged him, putting his face into her bosom and started crying.

"Andy! my little boy! *sob* *sob* Aunty wanted to meet you for so long *sob* *sob*"

Andy was confused what was going on but really liked the softness and smell of this woman. He then asked in a muffled sound as his head was buried in Mia's soft breasts

"Mother-in-law whats wrong, why are you crying? How do you know me?"

In that moment Mia scolded him

"What mother-in-law?! Call me aunty from now on! I am your aunt first mother-in-law later!"

After calming down a little Mia explained

"You see I am your mother's little sister, but something bad happened in the past and she distanced herself from everyone in her family including me... and she never let me meet you or Emily *sob* *sob* Master and I have been watching over your family from a distance, thats why I recognised you. Tell me how is your mother doing? How is Emily? How did you become such a great healer? Is the bitchy baroness still bullying you?..."

"You are going to strangle your cute nephew to death you know" said headmistress, although she tried acting strong, her voice was shaking and could barely hide her emotions.

"Ah!" Mia then let go her nephew's head which was buried in her bosom for too long. Finally Andy got a bit of oxygen and some colour returned to his face.

"Are you alright Andy?!" asked Mia worriedly and she stroked her nephew's face gently.

"Yes aunty, I am fine" said Andy as he thought, 'Damn! this would have been a much better way to go compared to getting shot!'
