Ok, back to this episode. It was very frustrating, like this whole arc is. I do not understand why the anime production team has decided to dedicate this whole arc to the whole cour, but it better not damage bluray sales, which in turn will reduce the chances of future seasons.

To answer why the anime is paced like this

Spoiler for Comparison of Episode numbers to LN Vols.:

Just by numbers, Ep 1 to 12 covered Vol. 1 and 2 of the LN which ended with the Chrome Disaster arc. Noumi's arc is covered in Vol. 3 and 4, the cliffhanger of eps. 18 happens at the end of Vol. 3. They're animating 6 episodes per vol of the LN.

One quibble. The one conversation Haru decides to record is the one with the guidance counselor? Probably should have had that running when Nomi explained in detail how he had set you up, or that random guy was kicking your ass.

It seems that in AW to record video or audio with your NeuroLinker you need permission/consent from the other party. As seen when Haru told the teacher "I'm recording this". Which is the reason KYH surprises Haru when she took a pic of him secretly without consent early in the series.
