The loading/animation part is particularly frustrating to me.
In case you didn't know (because I didn't before checking the controls yesterday), the Alt key skips animations, while Ctrl skips dialogue. So you can skip most things by pressing both Ctrl and Alt (and not just Ctrl like I usually do in literally all other games).
Another head-scratching decision-making there.
Nowadays I only play with the Maneki Neko to not get items stuck (items now come to you instead of being dropped at inaccessible locations) and the Fallen Mage's Gloves (all projectiles including arrows track enemies).
I also have all of these questions, but at least know the answer for the last one: you need to have the Hardwood sword equipped (the one you start with) when talking to the woman.
Although from what I can see you now start the game with the skill she's supposed to give you (Senpo Tachi), so there's not much point fighting her anymore. Unless this was the RNG/decision at the start of the game giving it to me.
Some misc bugfixes, but the game is still janky as can be.
I just go straight to save editing with this game these days. Especially now that they've added weapon durability. Less frustration overall.
But to answer you: You get drinks from the vending machine next to the cat-eared maid (not the gachapon), and those drinks are basically potions. You can give them to your imouto, too, but you don't have to.
