Judging by how Mio learned how to cook edible food along with the welcoming party points out that the studio skipped some stories namely the training of Lime, Hibiki and the story regarding the creation of Lacquerware. If those were skipped then I guess the studio is pretty much rushing things or deemed them not needed since it doesn't focus on Makoto 🤔. Switching the perspective to an anime only watcher, this episode is quite interesting considering the results of Tomoe's investigation and the audition for the new species for the demiplane
