I missed it completely on my first read, but you can see on page 14 that Komichi is now in year 1, class 3, so first year of high school. Which mean we did get a small time skip.
I'm pretty sure that's her same class in middle school so she's still middle school first year and we only skipped the festival cause going from middle school to high school is a huge timeskip.
EDIT: Okay I saw someone brought up chapter 56 where it said Erika does not have permission to stay in Roubai for high school. So maybe we did timeskip to high school which still baffles me
