Dunno, that Marisa looks quite healthy, unless you mean that reimu either is bigger or actually overweight. Too many hungry looking nooraki marisas lately.
Besides, it's not that rare to have batches of only 1 type of kids. Not like it may change matters if this whole batch is a bunch of deibus, the mother may had not be doing "selective birthing", or at least it isn't implied, but the result would be the same anyway, spawning more deibus.
This family won't make it through the winter, if the kids haven't left the nest by then, or been reduced in number 'somehow'. After all, It seems yukkuri families with only 4 or 5 kids, and sometimes as few as 2 or 3, will often have problems getting enough food to last the winter. So, managing to get enough food for 12 kids for the winter? That's gotta be on the verge of impossible.

Seriously maximusfive , I still wonder how these things make it through SUMMER , even without little ones to feed ...
It doesn't last though when they disturb something greater than them, but overall mercy (be it mistaken mercy or not) is what lets them live long enough.
Lots of laws bend just to screw with yukkuri. I think Marisa gets screwed first with a Deinu for partner. Time latter she realizes Dave and the kids are trash and leaves... or kills everybody.

I think Marisa looks like that because of the sweat drop in her cheek.

Can you really call it mercy if , whatever higher power is responsible for granting those manjuu's their remarkable streak of good luck , only to have them meet an umtimely and grisly demise at the hands of an anon or through their own epic failure? I'd rather take that as evidence of the responsible deities' twisted sense of humour.
