You're not wrong, but if it happens to be the case that the ancient god only needs to act once in order to permanently settle the threat of the beasts (like for example, if he's actually capable of killing each and every single one of the beasts, all together, in one single strike) then neither she nor the god would be needed anymore, which may prompt the king to kill the mc in order to kill two birds with one stone, since the god already said her death would send him back to sleep.
But.
If they act publicly and become some sort of hero....
And if the a. God is rly so powerful, shouldn't it be easy for him to protect Mc and to be threatening the king?
Ah I know, I'm sure it has a reason why they play the pityful Mc card before acting (I'm heartless?).
And she's still shocked about everything that happens so far and needs time to think straight?
The public hero strategy is a good idea, definitely! As for the rest, I dunno, maybe? I at least wouldn't be able to trust the god so easily either... I mean, the girl has probably been stabbed in the back and mistreated all her life, so she has zero experience trusting people... Trusting the god kinda takes for her to take a leap of faith too (because with her not being a magician herself, she can't know the truth by his words alone, how is she to know he's telling the truth, and that he couldn't be lying just to gain her trust in order to get her to "make a wish" as the one condition that will magically allow to harm her?)
Anyway, sorry, I'm really just rambling and speculating at this point, haha *shrugs*
No you are right.
The 'I can eat you, after you make a wish' thing seems reasonable, could even be a good thing, if you put it in the plot, and let him give her stuff she wants/needs, without her asking, so to gain her trust so she finally trust him to make a wish?
And then he don't eats her, because of shojoromance stuff :p
The story feels a little bit out of order?
And am I the only one, how screams every panel "plse shut up, citizens are dying, can you suck up your pride/schemes/revenge whatever for a second and let the aciend God save ppl? Thank you...."
I mean every day ppl dying from the beasts?
And all Mc needs to do is say "eh go save them plse" and everyone is saved?
Or did I remember/understand it wrong?
