Okay okay... Versus is probably gonna get mad at me for this... but are you serious? HOW does it not make sense? Have you not been following the series or have you been too busy complaining cause its not niche or obscure? The hints have been given for this and now everything is coming together. i'll stop myself there, everything makes sense if you're actually paying attention and the fact that you say it doesn't means you haven't been payign attention at all.

It does not make sense if you think about the previous eps. If they always meant to lure MC into a trap with that curse, why would they let it kill him in the first try? The placement of the children was obviously for exactly the purpose to lure him into the woods. But why? Just to get him killed? They couldn't have known that the curse wouldn't kill him so why would they even have that trap in the first place? And if that curse wasn't given to him on purpose, who was that trap for? Nobody could have gone into it. If it wasn't a trap the placement of the kids would just be stupid.

The whole premise of this episode is absolutely contrived. I wonder which route they're gonna go but no matter which they choose it will be stupid and contrived.

Its not about luring the MC into the trap with the curse. When it gets hungry it feeds off of mana, it does this through curses and it cursed all the children. I'd go further in but that's spoiler/conjecture category. Mainly cause LN readers keep giving huge clues (blue braid girl). Simply put it was hungry and if it lured the villagers there it would have more food which is mana. The goal isn't to kill anybody its to feed itself which is pretty much killing people. The villagers would search for the children and then it would have more food. Its actually simple when you really think about it. You're thinking too much in terms of MC. He is an anomly, nothing is done with him as the centre. He is the interloper that changes the course (which usually leads to his death/restart).

The shaman only cares about feeding itself (from what I could see here) it bit the children, and by doing so it had food. If the villagers came to get the children then it would have more food in the villagers.
