The second pancake was given to Rachel.

This woman, who had witnessed Todd making MSG before, showed almost no hesitation in tasting the food before her.

He would pick up a piece and stuff it into his mouth, refusing to spit it out even when it was scalding hot.

Todd glanced at the two remaining clumsy birds and deliberately used the pot lid to fan the aroma of the food onto the young couple's faces.

Seeing the two griffins scratching their heads in frustration, Todd picked up a piece of bread from the pot and threw it to them.

To his surprise, the two griffins were in perfect harmony, and no fighting broke out.

The male griffin only took a bite of the pancake, and after confirming that the food was safe, it gave it to its mate.

Todd couldn't help but marvel that the monster before him was, in some ways, far superior to many humans.

Having abandoned any intention to tease him, Todd handed another pancake to the male griffin. The griffin seemed to understand his thoughts, nodded slightly, took the food, ran back to its mate, and ate it peacefully.

In the days that followed, the two people and two beasts in the cave were in a strange state of cooperation.

During the day, the griffins take turns going out to forage, and in the evening, Todd and Rachel are responsible for processing, cooking, and seasoning the food they bring back...

As the sun set and the stars began to appear, the two people and two beasts sat together like a family, enjoying the prepared food.

This went on for a week. Meredith came a few times, bringing some supplies, but never mentioned training. Meanwhile, the Griffin's attitude towards Todd had completely changed.

Whenever Todd entered the cave, the griffins left behind would lie on their backs, preening their feathers with their sharp beaks, and at most nod at him as a greeting.

Whenever Todd sees this scene, he is both amused and exasperated, and he always thinks of Sonia, the female cat he raised in his past life.

When we first adopted it, it was timid, wary, and helpless, even hiding under the bed to eat. After less than a month, it had completely adapted to its owner's presence, and now sleeps with its paws in the air.

A few days later, while Todd was preening the griffin's feathers, he first nodded to Rachel, then pointed a finger at the top of the griffin's head, using his 'Soul Link' ability to attempt his first connection with a non-human race.
