I think you posted this in the wrong thread buddy. Final Fantasy 14's in a different subforum.

No, he didn't. I had linked the song, Flow, as part of my comment responding to tygerbright.

It is part of @Tzaphquiel 's charm that they will sometimes randomly and philosophically quip on some arbitrary work of fiction tangentially connected to the relevant plot of the quest. I remember when it was The Golden Girls.
Personally, I rather like it as long as things don't get too out of hand.
Hm. I suppose that would rather seem to be the crux of the disagreement between the Preserver and the Destroyer. The Eternal Silence's view on the matter, well. When the Preserver discussed the matter with her, the conversation ended:
Something has changed.
Oh? Has it? Cause and effect can be so tiresome.
Acknowledged.
Love is better.
And there was silence upon the void...
Yep. Turned out to be Danburite, boss of the local chapter of the Dark Agency/Kingdom/Whatever.
It's why Minako warned Nanoha against trusting mysterious boys she met while magical girling, advice that Nanoha is taking to heart both very thoroughly and not nearly broadly enough.

I don't think the various pretty bad gals she meets ever get a chance to betray her before they stop being evil (or fukkin' die, in Precia's case), though?
Nanoha usually loses the first match, draws on the second match, and wins on the third.

Onogoro's response to the events of I/You Hate Mondays is going to be… really interesting. By which I mean the mental gymnastics required for them to somehow justify the actions of the Senshi and MCAT as not in the public interest are going to going to be quite impressive.

The Senshi fighting the Dark Kingdom is not the real dealbreaker for Onogoro. In one of the earlier omakes, Mistress Sato viewed their fights in public Japan as a "forgivable sin" if they had simply popped up for the fight, sunk into the shadows afterward, and quietly retired once the Dark Kingdom was defeated. The threat is dealt with, public Japan is kept out of the loop, the Masquerade continues. The issue was that the Senshi decided to have a public-facing company that would educate and even Awaken any mundane citizen who wanted to learn more about magic. The same concern goes for MCAT, with the additional cherry on top of being run by an "always chaotic evil" youkai.
...Now, the REAL question is how the average Onogoran citizen would react when they learn that an invading magical force was successfully driven off from Japan, and the official forces of Onogoro had almost nothing to do with it.

We're making short term compromises in order to fight an immediate threat that'll come back to bite us in the long run. Same as the Soviet Union making the Cheka or America letting South Carolina join. As Minako would say, a snake in the grass is worth two in the bush.

I mean, we've had several of those happen. The most public would be the giant tree.
Well, afawk the Ono public don't know most of what public Japan does depending on their age, it sounds like the younger generation know more but it seems like knowledge is pretty scatter shot on what they know about what's going on and Ono's hardly going to tell their public that they've afawk again, done basically nothing to stop the invaders and instead are focusing on MCAT and the Diet and Silver Millennium.
But honestly as one of their big things is to 'deal with the dangerous youkai' and 'keep people safe' having it thrown into their faces that they've done none of that recently and the big free Youkai are gonna basically shatter their stability. Their opposition in politics found out they were being manipulated and controlled in secret already and words getting around, with more and more of their younger students being excited by Pretty Cures and Sailor Moons and being told off for supporting them well... I totally see the most likely case being a civil war of sorts or a massive fracturing of their society at this rate.

Not to mention the possible revelation that Onogoro mages were mind controlled into and/or of their own will cooperating with said hostile invading force. Such as a certain Head of the Orochi among others.

They simply need to completely ignore or down play the Dark Kingdom.
"The Youma were working with 2 of the heads of Orochi and their Orogono staff.
If this is what the Sailor Senshi do to these who share similar view to to them. Imagine what they'll do to those who oppose them."
Implying that MCAT follows the might makes right that Orochi does. It makes sense to them after all Yokai(their belief of what the senshi are)are in charge of both.
Implying that the Youma were doing nothing this time and the MCAT were the instigators.
Implying that they attacked because of Orogono.

I thought that the Onogoro public were still under the impression that the Youma were actually just bizarre Youkai. Which means that Onogoro would be seen as… having deliberately gone to Youkai for help.

Isn't the current predominant theory that they are Kami? Or a secret cult/order of magic Users that has remained hidden for generations?

But Dimitri, the the seventh head of the Orochi, is a member of the True Equality Party. So it's not Orogono going to Yokai for help, it these crazy extremist who want to free the Yokai who working with Yokai

The Bald guys seem to think Mars is an unbound kami but we don't now how spread out that belief is.
I think it just "not human" thats the mainstream thought right now.

Other than the three Youma that made it out, it sounds like MCAT were successful in maintaining area security. That means that all of the Onogorans inside the facility are either in custody and/or singing like songbirds now that they've been released from whatever mind control Cendrellion had them all under. Dimitri in particular was captured by Mercury, so he isn't going to be telling Onogoro's authorities, and it's anyone's guess how long it'll take them to notice the disappearance of several ranking Orochi functionaries.
Meanwhile, MCAT and the Diet are going to be going on a PR blitz over the raid's success, and there are probably several former Orochi who are now on our/MCAT's side who might go back to their friends in the Orochi and the TEP and start telling them all what happened.
Thinking down some lines... The 8th head survived and was rescued by the Senshi, and I doubt he is going to be going along with the story of the Senshi going overboard or anything. He may even end up praising MCAT. We also have a small number of Onogoro mages, but my gut says that most of them wouldn't be "peasants" so to speak.
The guy who died was a mid-ranked agent if memory serves, the girl with the locket has to be from a noble family, and there was at least one ritual specialist in that circle with Cendrillion. Onogoro could silence them all, but enough people just high-ranked enough would be a pain in the neck to silence or shout over along with the 8th head.
If Onogoro was smart, which they can be upon occasion, they would take the angle that the Senshi made a bigger mess here than otherwise would have happened. For example, they could bring up the Night Market raid where we know Yokai were released, and tie the response to that as distracting from investigations or allowing for the disparate elements that caused this mess. The senshi are vigilantes putting out fires they caused with their own actions, as a way to discredit them and push the narrative that, if Onogoro had been able to run things as they have for centuries, without this interference, none of these events would even be occurring in the first place.

Well, Onogoro's ability to "spin" events here may be limited by how much knowledge they actually can acquire. The most malicious elements like Dimitri have been arrested by MCAT, and the Orochi mages who may have been let go may not be particularly keen to self-incriminate share their story to Onogoro authorities. We know that one of Onogoro's most prominent moles in the Total Equality Party has been arrested, so they may not be able to get the information required to "get ahead" of the story before the TEP releases a statement.

Notably, the Orochi are at least implied to be to some extent a secret(ive) society within the broader Onogoro society. They may already be in the habit of keeping secrets.

Of course, it isn't just going to be Onogoro that hears about this either. This was a major operation, arguably bigger and more important than the Night Market.
Had things swung out differently, you would have had another chance to talk to some reporters.
So the rest of the world is going to hear that Japan is continuing to be the most effective country at fighting off these weird new threats

Sigh as a certain starfleet captain would say to usagi right now and I quote
"i'm Afraid it never gets any easier "
Also a certain poem don't know the name but somewhere along the lines of "when a good man goes to war" but replaced with woman . Maybe somebody could paraphrase it on here

When A Good Man Goes to War written by Steven Moffat. From Doctor Who.
Demons run when a good man goes to war,
Night will fall and drown the sun,
When a good man goes to war.
Friendship dies and true love lies,
Night will fall and the dark will rise,
When a good man goes to war.
Demons run, but count the cost;
The battle's won, but the child is lost.
