After the intense encounters with the Shadow Fiend, Hiroshi Nakamura, Aimi's guardian and an accountant in the monster hunter association, was deeply moved by Max's heroic actions. Recognizing the dog's bravery, Hiroshi decided to adopt Max as a cherished member of their family.
"Okay, Aimi, what name do you want to give your new pet?" Nakamura asked, a smile playing on his lips.
Aimi's eyes sparkled mischievously as she contemplated the perfect name. Max couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and worry, silently pleading that she wouldn't choose something embarrassing.
"Please don't be Snoop Dog or Snoopy or Pee Wee," Max silently begged in a comedic manner, hoping to avoid any unconventional monikers.
Aimi giggled, fully aware of Max's plea. "I know just the name," she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "Your name will be... Hiroshi Junior!"
Max's eyes widened in surprise, and he let out a comical gasp. "Hiroshi Junior?" he repeated, his voice tinged with disbelief. "But that's your guardian's name!"
Aimi nodded enthusiastically. "Exactly! You're part of our family now, so it's only fitting that you carry the family name too."
Max couldn't help but smile, touched by the heartfelt gesture. "Well, if that's what you want, Aimi, then I am honored to be Hiroshi Junior," he said, wagging his tail happily.
And so, Max officially became Hiroshi Junior, a beloved member of the Nakamura family. Their bond grew stronger with each passing day, as they embarked on new adventures together, their hearts filled with love, laughter, and a touch of whimsy.
The monster hunter association conducted a thorough investigation into the incident, and their findings confirmed that Max was the one responsible for putting an end to the dangerous B-class monster threat. This revelation added weight to Max's status as a heroic figure within the association.
Given Hiroshi's affiliation with the monster hunter association, not as a monster hunter but as an accountant it opened an opportunity for the monster association to possibly use max. The awareness of Max's unique abilities known to the captain of the B Squad created an air of uncertainty and anticipation.
The squads of the Monster Hunter Association (MHA) were organized into different divisions, each ranked according to their strength and capabilities. The divisions spanned from the D class, consisting of less experienced individuals, to the highly revered S class, which housed only three squads. These S-class squads were comprised of five exceptionally gifted individuals, akin to the esteemed status of nobles in Max's previous world.
The dynamics within the monster hunter association were intricate and intense, with each division and squad playing a vital role in defending against the various threats that loomed. Max's presence and newfound recognition within the association added an element of intrigue, as his unique abilities could potentially impact the existing power dynamics and alliances.
Within the monster association, various danger classes exist, ranging from D-class level threats that would prove challenging for an average, untrained civilian to handle alone, to S-class level dangers capable of posing national-level threats, almost on par with a nuclear bomb. These entities are regarded as world-class weapons of destruction, an unparalleled force of carnage to be feared.
After three days of settling into the Hiroshi family, Max reflected on his new surroundings. "We're living in a café restaurant right in the heart of Tokyo," he thought. The vibrant cityscape buzzed with the energy of countless people, especially with students streaming out of school for their summer holidays.

Meanwhile, Max, the beloved mascot of Café Royal Maidens, basks in his newfound fame. Adored by visitors from far and wide, he revels in the attention, wagging his tail and showering everyone with his trademark doggy charm. It seems that wherever Max goes, smiles and laughter follow.
One particularly eventful day, as Max happily roams the café, three enthusiastic maid girls can't resist the urge to scoop him up and cuddle him close to their bosoms. Max's eyes light up with glee as he finds himself surrounded by affectionate embraces. "I could get used to this," he grins blissfully, his tail wagging in contentment.
However, his blissful moment is abruptly interrupted by a piercing glare from Aimi, who notices Max's mischievous thoughts. Her eyes shoot daggers at Max, and she gives him a fierce pout, scolding him for entertaining such inappropriate ideas. Max, caught red-handed, immediately averts his gaze and puts on his best innocent face, as if he hadn't conjured up those mischievous thoughts in the first place. But Aimi isn't fooled one bit. She crosses her arms, taps her foot in a cute but determined manner, and huffs, letting him know that his shenanigans won't go unnoticed. It's an adorable display of anger that melts even Max's mischievous heart, making him promise to behave from now on or face the wrath of her adorable but stern glares. The momentary comic tension dissolves into laughter as the café's patrons witness Max's mischievous escapade. The Royal Maidens playfully tease him, reminding him of his duties as the café's mascot and reminding him to behave appropriately.
From that day forward, Max learns to enjoy the adoration and cuddles from the café's visitors without getting carried away by his own fantasies. The amusing incident becomes a fond memory, often recounted by the staff and customers, adding to the light-hearted and joyful spirit that defines Café Royal Maidens.
As the day draws to a close and the last customers leave, the café doors are locked, and an air of tranquility settles in. Max takes a moment to reflect, his thoughts filled with gratitude for the wonderful days he has experienced recently. "These past few days have been some of the best days I've lived for a long time," he thinks to himself, a sense of contentment washing over him. "I'd like days like this to stay like this for as long as possible," he whispers softly, savoring the peaceful atmosphere.
However, as Max walks across the dining room, he overhears a conversation drifting into his highly sensitive ears. The remnants of the dialogue catch his attention, stirring a mix of curiosity and concern within him. An anonymous voice speaks, its tone laced with a hint of urgency, "Nakamura, as you know, there has been a rise in the appearance of monster anomalies, correct?"
Max's ears perk up, and his instincts go on high alert. He wonders how this conversation is connected to Hiroshi Nakamura, his beloved guardian. His mind races, trying to make sense of the situation. He listens intently as Hiroshi responds, his voice filled with a blend of surprise and confusion, "Yes, I have noticed, but what does this have to do with me? Wouldn't it make sense to contact Haruki Sato or the A+ class hunters for this topic?"
The anonymous voice continues, explaining the motive behind the conversation. "Yes, but we at the MHA have been considering different ways to empower those who are less naturally talented. We want to assign a supervisor who will directly monitor your activities as you contribute towards combating these monsters, with the assistance of your dog, of course."
Max's heart pounds in his chest as he realizes the gravity of the situation. The mention of a supervisor and the need for Hiroshi to take part in combating the rising monster anomalies suggests that their peaceful days may be coming to an end. He senses a shift in the air, a newfound responsibility looming over them.
Hiroshi's voice, tinged with a mix of uncertainty and determination, breaks the silence. "That's a lot to take in. Give me some time to decide," he says, his words revealing the weight of the decision he must make.
The anonymous caller responds, their tone slightly impatient, "Alright, but don't take too long..."
As the conversation ends, Max is left standing there, a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions swirling within him. The world that seemed so peaceful and idyllic just moments ago now holds a foreboding sense of uncertainty. The fate of Hiroshi and Max's future hangs in the balance, and the choices they make will determine their path.
As night falls, Max and Hiroshi find solace at home, surrounded by tranquility. The day's events slowly fade away, replaced by a comforting sense of peace. Max settles down, curling up at next to Aimi cuddled close to Hiroshi, ready to drift into a restful slumber.
However, as the world around them grows quiet, a faint glimmer catches Max's attention. His eyes flicker open, searching the room for the source of this mysterious light. At first, he dismisses it as a mere trick of the moonlight filtering through the window.
Yet, an uneasy feeling tugs at Max's instincts. There is something more to this glow, something that resonates deep within him. With caution, he rises from his cozy spot, his senses heightened and alert. Moving silently, he approaches the window, casting an inquisitive gaze outside.
And there, on the distant horizon, he witnesses it—a faint flicker, a tiny flame dancing amidst the vast darkness of the night. Though barely noticeable. A solemn expression settles on Max's face as he turns away from the window. Memories of fire and conflict from his past, from a war fought in his old world, flash through his mind. As he settles back into his sleeping spot, Max's dreams are filled with visions of battles yet to be fought.
