Ibuki is the murderfamily member Edea feels the most open affection for; she's ridiculous and silly but it's really impossible not to love her energy and her enthusiasm and her ability to be humanized fun. Edea hadn't had much opportunity to be very silly and spontaneous before, so in the beginning, she was kind of uncertain. But she decided really quickly that you know what, there's no reason they shouldn't have fun, so she rolled with it and really came to genuinely appreciate Ibuki for what she brought to their meetings! Edea also never had anyone like a younger sister in her life, so she very quickly came to see Ibuki that way even though they were pretty close in age. Learning about the other game she already came from also made her feel a bit protective; for Ibuki's sake, they really had to win!
Then she died! ...And everything was terrible because the brainwashing wore off and she saw that Ibuki and Ciel had actually ended up hurting Kazoo for real and she was really afraid that Ibuki would end up in the graveyard and completely freak out about legitimately hurting the people she cared about most. In a sense, she was glad that Ibuki came shortly after she did; Ibuki and Tamaki were really the ones she worried about most (Mabel notwithstanding since she was pretty sure they wouldn't ever let her do any other murders).
Ibuki's debrief was awful and it only intensified her feelings about younger sister hood; she felt super protective of her after that! Protective against whoever had brought them there and also protective against the other guests. They were fine to yell at her as much as she liked, but she would definitely have gone off on anyone if she had seen them harass Ibuki for her role as a VIP. From then on, I like to think she sort of followed Ibuki around glaring at people until the next few VIPs came.
At the end, she really really hopes Ibuki will come out of her game OK even though she didn't get the prize she was promised. She will sincerely miss having an Ibuki in her life and she would offer to have Ibuki come home with her if she likes except she thinks Ibuki would probably rather be with her friends regardless of what they're returning to. She likes to think that, just like this game, they'll all survive against the odds and she'll be fervently praying for her success.
