Looks like the story is about the cannibal pair, and the Marisa just visits different nests (Reimu+Marisa then, Reimu+Alice now) to abduct their children.

Funny if it so happens that it's the same Reimu in every family.
Kinda confusing but I think I got it all. Its basically a cannibalism story while simultaneously explains how cannibal yukkuris manage to protect their own young. Heres a breakdown of what happened:
Theres 3 families :
ReimuA and MarisaA ReimuB and MarisaB ReimuC and Alice
Page 1: ReimuA and MarisaA are the pair we see in the very first page with MarisaB hiding outside/in the bushes.
Page 2 + 3 : MarisaB catches the kos in her hat and brings them home where ReimuB and MarisaB proceed to cannibalize them. BUT leave one ko alive...
Page 4 : The last surviving ko is killed BUT NOT SWALLOWED, by ReimuB.
Page 5 : ReimuB goes through a tunnel leading to a back room where ReimuB and MarisaB's own kos are kept. ReimuB spits out remains of the ko from page 4 which is promptly eaten. Before leaving, ReimuB warns the kos never to leave the back room for safety reasons (obviously to protect them from similar cannibal families)
Page 6 : Everyone is fat and happy, goes to sleep and the story begins again with ReimuC and Alice's kos about to be caught.
