Jajajaja... Uno pensaba lo mismo, hasta cuando se pone a leer la novela y se da cuenta que van tal cual ordenadito (revisé y van por el cap 6 del primer volumen de la novela)... XD
BTW, gracias por la traducción.
Don't worry... This episode just covers chapters 5 and 6 from the first LN (ep 6 covered part of chapter 4), assume this flowchart is a bit different from the usual ones... XD
Until two volumes ago, the LN and the manga were on par, right now the LN is a bit ahead (just taking the EN official translation, the JP LN are a bit further ahead), but that pales in comparison from the OG source (the WN that has +3000 chapters, the LN only has covered like 500 chapters since...
Sou's scenario was so strong that even the author had to backtrack... xD
In a more proper post, good for the author to communicate the redraw and being honest with their viewers.
Mostly surely, publication decisions, it they want something more lighter and comfy and the OG author give his OK, then everything is OK (author has repeatedly says so in his LN's afterwords).
Also, it doesn't help that converting Haruka's ramblings from LN to manga would be a bit of a problem...
It seems it's just the normal schedule from Comic Growl (after the first volume, they go on hiatus for 2 months and then come back to regular schedule), since that pattern was also in 2 other new series I follow on that site.
And the invasion plans continues as if it was a light friendly chat... xD next time is their second (or maybe third?) date...
BTW, checking the schedule from the OG source, next chapters (7.1 and 7.2) releases on Sept 24th and Oct 8th.
