why does Rika have to be watanagashi'ed by those objects? Why not just kill her? That's one of the real mysteries I still haven't figured out, although I believe I have a very small clue.

Spoiler for rika's murder reasons, nothing foretelling:

basically, the "culprit(s)" know that the Watanagashi has a backstory as a punishment and "sacred ceremony" for Oyashiro-sama. Thus, killing in this manner will create a lot of ruckus, and will be harder to track, since the villagers will be in a disarray, not to mention it will join the 5 others incident of the watanagashi.
