To be honest shizuku wanted to cut her ties with kouki due to the  bullying she recieved for being the closest girl to hom despite not being enough girl like in the eyes of others aka other girls, but couldn’t due to the policy of her family to treat all students of the yaegashi style as family and support and help them no matter how far beyond help thet are.

Also after becomg friends wih  kaori who she had been jealous of because she was everything she wanted to be she started looking at kouki from a less personal view point and realized that while he had many, MANY flaws, far more than normal for their age, he was at heart a good person (while it might be true he is far too immature) and started viewing as a troublesome younger brother  (even so she herself has stated that she's not that fond of him) that she needed to protect.

Kaori is the same, she knows that kouki is seriously flawed, both from what shizuku has told her and what she has seen herself but she also knows that he always tries (even though he fails most of the times due to his stupidity) to help people and to give them, in his mind, good and helpful advices.

Also in ryutarou's case he's simply too much of an idiot and a failure as a person to actually be a good influence on kouki as I think  his words would more effective than shizuku's.
