Okay, I absolutely call bullshit.
If a bunch of starving people under the thumb of oppression, surrounded (as established) by a noble class who extorts them and keeps them from rising up in the world in any way, one day found that they had a magical fairy of a girl who could provide them with food...
...they would be defending her with their life.
This feels like some lazy-ass "the poor are all lazy and ungrateful" straw-man nonsense, and I'm so sick of this shit that it's bothering me even though it's a nonsense comedy series?
(Okay: Granted the point may be in a second that they're all possessed or something given the kids' commentary at the end. If that's the case I forgive the author.)
