It sucks that they skipped all of Luciana’s hard work paying off and surprising her friends with this:

In the light novel there Luciana’s friends are stunned by the change since their last time replaying basically the same gag we’ve seen this episode 2 times already, but I think that tea party important to show the relationship those 3 girls have. The anime points out that the Rudelbergs are indebted to those two families who helped them out. But the LN goes out of its way to show that those two girls aren’t looking down on Luciana and are genuinely happy that her living circumstances has improved so much even though everyone else in noble society is looking down and shunning her. I feel that them being real friends is lost in the anime by skipping this scene.
