That's how I felt at first, but this chapter did the exact opposite for me.
Eua seems to be legitimately surprised that Satoko wants Rika to be in the loops with her, despite it being detrimental to her goals of living happily in June of 1983 forever.
There's not all that much Eua could do with a non-looper Rika who would reset every time; even with her hundred years still existing, a single death wouldn't make much of a difference.
If Rika was her target, what would she do to mess with her? Secretly turn her into a looper unbeknownst to Satoko and hope that it wouldn't disrupt Satoko's plotting too much? Rely on memory leaks this time? Hope that Satoko does something so incredibly omoshiroi that it completely breaks Rika in one go?
It all seems like a bit of a stretch to me.

Satoko being so focused on Rika does seem to be favourable to her, but for all we know, someone obsessing over a single person may just be really beneficial conditions for creating witches in general, making Eua's goals with Satoko easier to achieve, and since both of Eua's other major appearances (Gou/Sotsu, Mei) have her focus on Satoko almost exclusively, it would be weird for Meguri to diverge so much, unless it really wants to mirror Umineko more closely with regards between the dynamics between Featherine and the voyager witches as depicted there.
