Questions about the family relations (spoilers maybe???)

So initially we are introduced that natsume is staying in shigeru's home, and both him and touka are distant relatives.
However in ep 10 we learn that shigeru had a childhood friendship with Reiko, but doesn't really remember her???
So is this a translation error? Do we learn more about natsumes family connection???
Like what's the story here?
I feel like shigeru would have described Reiko as a distant family member and not "some odd girl" if they were family in a traditional sense
Mainly wondering as it helps paint the actual nature of natsumes living situation and home life a bit better
Thanks friends!!

Touka is a distant relative of Natsume's father, and Reiko lived in the same village as Shigure. So in a sense, their relation to Natsume comes from Touka's side. And Shigure met Reiko when he was a kid so he didn't know who she was at that time, and since they met only for a very short time he forgot both her name and face.

I hope this helps
