I´ve always wondered about this. There must be more Hakurei people than just the shrine maiden, like in the village or something. If she dies before having descendants they can just get another girl from a branch family to do the job or manage something.
Sanae on the other hand...Maybe some tengu or kappa can take her place?
But no worries because main character death is taboo. At the very least, Reimu is safe.
Other family members in the village huh? Well, I'm kinda under the assumption she's the last Hakurei member left, unless the mother is still alive somewhere or something.

Apparently, "chosen" doesn't enter into it. Any ersatz sperm donor will do.

Maybe he was chosen by Yukari since it has something to do with the border, but meh, I don't think that he will be important in the story so, I'll stop thinking about that
GMO said: From what Marisa said, does it mean the mother is unable to use the powers of a shrine maiden or that Reimu is now more duty-bound to the family?
Second, what's jacked-up to me was maybe this arrangement should've waited a few more years.
...from the context clues I'm getting out of this, I'm thinking that... maybe it couldn't wait. Maybe she's preparing to marry and have a child now, only to have to leave it up to that child as her mother had to do with her?
...of course, you know the conclusion to all this. I'm just now coming across it.
Reimu...!Just how in the hell are you gonna exterminate youkai now...?
