Oh my, the understandings has completely drifted away...

In short, Senka are employees/servants/courtiers that worked under a house. Kinako has explained that exorcists on island must act under houses rather than attempted to do independently. I could say the settings is somewhat linked to the feudal history of Japan, and even now Japan values lineage and blood more than most areas.

Shimon is born into the branch family, that he is a relative of the main family. Not sure if he is first/second cousin of Keiji/Sayo. Later he was adopted as the second son of Hoji at age 3. Only blood-related ones can be the guardians.

Keiji is the same level as Gunki, as said by Gunki's father Narumi and also Rena Kouji, the hostess of Hadarae Castle Games, from the student times. He also applied for the Yuto mission, but hasn't got his turn to enter the Magano. Please be patient, the manga has got only 56 chapters (Ch 54/Benio 4 would be coming in the midst of April) yet.

For the Katagihara, I can say Gunki (25) and Seishirou (26) seems much closer, from school times. But it's unknown that why Masumi (23) married into, probably because Masumi is the housewife/non-battle type? And they seemed to have true feelings. Narumi (aged 17) had explained when he was proposing, that the marriage in his house was pretty free - marry whoever you like. While Tamami's parents said that most situations famous families mates.

For Yuzuru, she is absolutely related with main family. The yellow streaks are processed by Shigen, Seigen and her, while Kogen is not so obvious, and Seigen's mother doesn't has it (2017/11/29 twitter image). Seigen (aged 21) explained to Yukari (aged 23) that Yuzuru (aged 16) was only his cousin while Yukari noticed that Yuruzu loved him. Not specified first or second, but most probably first. Only the OFFICIAL website listed her as a Senka.

Any first cousin relationship is normal in Japan and marriage is allowed. In China that's completely INCEST. (Only not allowed to marry, incests are not crime. Before this regime, only paternal first cousins are consider to be incest.) Yes Yuzuru has crushed on Seigen, not sure if still she has the feeling now (around Chapter 40).
