First, I'd try to stop Ledah before he entered Yggdrasil and definitely before he destroyed all the Aquariums. Forget the 'only 3 characters per battle' rule. This is a race against time; get a move on it, girls! I wouldn't kill Ledah even if he refused to listen to me; instead I would merely render him unconscious, then transport him back to Asgard. Ditto with Malice.
While I'm there, I would attempt to gain an audience with the Magi; if refused, I would find some Archangel or other authority who would listen and present my case to the Magi, informing them of Hector's madness, so he could be stopped before he tried anything else stupid.
I'd do my best to treat Rose better. The poor familiar really has a rough life, or so it seems to me.
I would make it painfully clear that my relationships with the girls in the party are on a 'friendship only' basis. This is because I wouldn't be able to bring myself to choose between Fia and Lina, and I would not want to split my head open in the attempt. This would ideally also serve as some precaution against breaking anyone's heart when I took Ledah and Malice back to Asgard.
With the Aquariums intact, Ursula could remain the guardian of Riviera, so I wouldn't have to worry about declining her promotion to the position.
If I managed to finish business in Asgard, or if the Magi banished me from my post as a Grim Angel because I opposed what Hector claimed was 'the will of the gods', I would return to Riviera and live in Elendia. I'd become the apprentice of Chappi, Claude, or whoever else would be willing to train me in their craft. I would use my wages to support Rose's work as a historian.
If my employer(s) gave me a vacation, I would travel to Lacrima Castle, preferably with Lina and Fia as traveling companions, and scour the place for a second moondrop. If I got lucky enough to find one, I would feed it to Rose to restore her voice.

I play Riviera for two reasons:  IIRC, credits go to Feral Phoenix for Fiaa's icon and ChefMKT for the Lyuri scan.
