Okina smiled smugly while Keine had a strange unidentifiable look in her eyes before shrugging and turning away. “Well that’s my business over with, Byakuren, I’ll be at the temple, helping with things there.”

Sekai spoke, looking at Ibaraki harshly “You shouldn't have killed her.”

“Shut it child, I care not for your judgements.” Ibaraki flung the remains of Seiga’s hairpin at Sekai, but just far enough away from her where the child was forced to hop towards them in order to catch it.

Okina nodded, and smiled as she opened a backdoor behind her. “I suppose this is all for now, we all have every important things to get up too, and I don’t want this to drag too long.”

“Wait.” Ibaraki commanded. An ugly look in her face that caused everybody, except for Reimu and Okina to take a step back. “You all are just going to ignore what caused all of this is the first place?”

Okina rolled her eyes, these sorts of questions were always the ones she found the most annoying. The Oni wasn’t earnestly interested in anybody elses’ answers, or their view points, she just wanted to verbally berate them while propping herself up as the sole arbiter of truth and justice.
A very Oni-like trick which only children fell for.
“Fine, if none of you will speak up, then I’ll say it, the root from which this stems is the overly lax relationship between the humans and youkai.”

Byakuren scoffed. “This whole incident was yukari’s fault, and if you want to talk about roots, attitudes like yours just lead to people using and abusing humans.”

Reimu glared at the Oni. “I enforce the rules as needed, if nobody’s causing a problem, then there isn’t one. Back before the Spellcard rules were in place, something like this wouldn’t have happened, but similar abuses towards humans still did.”

“I concur, back in those days men and women alike called upon my protection more often. The Tengu have always been one to take liberties with humans afterall.” Not always bad, some of them which ‘tested’ the wannabe hermits and monks preferred seduction rather than assault, an odd way to find a mate, and forcibly taking one was far easier, but it was something that happened.

“Your indolence shows Reimu, a real shrine maiden applies herself to all aspects of her duty and retains a constant vigil. Hopefully that daughter of yours will prove to be an improvement.” Ibaraki waved her arm, gesturing to the whole of everybody around her. “And the rest of you assume I want things to go back to where they were before the spell card rules-” Okina did not make any assumptions on her part, she was just interjecting with her own wisdom. “-Your assumptions are mistaken, what I want is the humans to be more closely controlled and the Youkai more diligent in their roles, a youkai virtue is the torment of humans and a humans virtue is attaining enlightenment while suffering.”

“Hey!” Marisa and Byakuren saidin unison.

Miko chuckled, before pointing her Shaku towards Ibaraki. “While I may not entirely agree with you, on some points I do, I do agree on this. The human village needs an administrator, and with Yukari leaving her role as a sage someone will need to take her place.”

Okina turned towards the crown prince as Reimu narrowed her eyes. “So you would step up to take her place”

Miko raised her shaku to a resting position, tapping on it while she thought. “While I would be willing to become the administrator of the human village, I would not take on Yukari’s duties of finding outside world humans to placate some of the more cannibalistic Youkai.”

“Mima?” Okina asked leadingly. “Do you have anything to say, you are awfully adamant on becoming a god after all, wouldn’t a sage also be the next step.”

“Yes, if it means protecting the human village and Gensokyo, then I’ll become its administrator.” Okina almost burst out laughing, it was almost funny how far the girl had come in the past hundreds of years, that girl from 200 years ago would have never said such things.

Ibaraki huffed. “Hmp, fine then. I support the Hermit. If she’s willing to take over the village, I’ll take on Yukari’s duties of feeding the youkai.” She didn’t like the Hermit, but from where she was standing, backing Miko was the best option for her.

Byakuren clenched her fist as Shou gifted behind her. “While I won’t serve the youkai who cause humans harm, if it’s to protect the humans of the village I’ll become its administrator.” throwing her hat into the ring is all she could do, she could focus on gathering support later, ideally she could force the race into only her and Miko by gaining Mima’s support. But Ibaraki was still an issue.

If it makes you feel better, they do have a shared visual element.

>Okina's design is shit.
It ain't her fault that she's gotta wear the outfit of the sages.
