The "Living Weapons" or "Bio Gear" is a different ability from the orbs, mind you. The difference is minor, but it's pretty much that, if the orbs don't release a weapon or armor, they grant some kind of ability. For Blosato, it's the blood control. Spesei, the orb/s assist her with her magic. Asue's orb gives her some lightning magic that allows her to detect stuff underground.

Asue's Earth Crust Thunder Maul was a weapon Rou picked up from defeating a Cyclops boss. The one he was eating alive when some adventures peeked in and got freaked out. Asue does not release a weapon from her orb. The Earth Goddess War Pick and and Shovel were from Velvet's treasury.

Blosato's swords are magic swords she picked up. The first one was from Velvet's treasury and the second was something she bought during the time everyone separated after their victory against the Dragon Empress.

Kukime's umbrella is a Living Weapon, yes. Her clothing is as well (Rou's clothing counts as Living Armor also).

Kanami's sword is from the Aqua Rime (?) Dungeon. The one with the Thunder Shark Wyrm boss at the end. This is loot, not a Living Weapon or an orb weapon.

Rou's arm and the bracelet which merged with his arm are also magic items. It "evolved", but that's due to being supplied with divine energy. It's a different case from what happens to Kichi's gear.

The weapons from the Living Weapon and orb abilities DO strengthen with the user, but the author has specified that Kichi's axe and tower shield are unique from that. In the text themselves, his axe and tower shield are something like his soul's embodiment. They evolve with him because they're a part of his soul. They're closer to the Living Weapons than to the orb weapons, but different as well. Only Kichi's gear "rank up" with him.
