To be fair, unless they forcefully include the Christmas and Valentine chapters, they won't have enough to fill out the remaining episodes.
And they can't modify the time scale, so they really gotta force it in.
At least they can kind of explain the present part with Kou acting weird as foreshadowing.
edit: Whatever you may think of the direct conflict, they did add a number of subtle things that showed Naru's attitude in other ways. Like ramping up the fight between her and Momo. Making the apology a more obvious insincere formality (based on the structure of the scene transition, they clearly meant that sigh to be directly connected to the apology.)
And certain lines of hers still come off as plenty arrogant.
