Decision at the End of the Tea Party

After the Tea Party quest, you must decide whether to pursue Otama. Although she may have questionable associations, she is not directly involved in the conflict or Naome's father's death. If you choose to assassinate her, you'll later uncover documents confirming her lack of direct involvement.

While she isn't entirely innocent, eliminating her is generally unnecessary—unless you're intentionally taking a more ruthless or morally ambiguous approach.

Confronting Wakasa

Wakasa is your primary target. There are two main outcomes depending on your dialogue choices earlier in the Tea Party. If you successfully mislead her and seem non-threatening, she will withdraw to a nearby house, enabling you to confront her directly without going through the castle.
