>She may have just said that to Nayuta to make what she was doing seem seem less hostile.
Would she really need to appear less hostile to Nayuta? especially since her hostility was aimed towards Asa, whom Nayuta cared nothing for. And again, Nayuta rejected her offer to work together while Asa lied there unconscious, no reason to just leave her be, especially since these two strategies aren't mutually exclusive, it's not like Asa couldn't feel indebted or in love if she was turned into a pawn.
Her approach towards Fami and Fake Chainsaw Man was close to that, even though they were willing to work with her, she saw better value in controling them directly as pawns instead (justifiable for Fake Chainsaw Man, less so for Fami).
