She is 12.

This has nothing to do with shipping at all.

This "shipping" is all made up by the fans' fantasy, and i don't think there is anything wrong with that as long as people are happy and respect each other.

However, the anime has been building up on showing Mumei's true age for the past few episodes. It's been shown how her thought processes are and how much of a child she still is no matter how precocious she seems on our first encounter of her since ep 1. With that said, in light of ep 7, ikoma was reminded of his sister when he saw mumei smiling. And this is where i believe that the anime is building the dynamics between mumei and ikoma as a strictly brother/sister relationship.
