I don't believe these are filler episodes at all, based on that warning and the fact everything we have seen now in the anime has been present in the manga as well, if memory servers.
I don't know what was in the manga and the novel, but just for your information: people call something "filler" even if it's canon, when it's insignificant. For me, this episode was more of the latter. Although Darth is rigtht about the demon king's introduction being of significance. (btw. wtf, THE demon king just casually showing up at school, what's with that).

And ofc Rudy being established as the cat girls' master is important!!1 (btw did he grab Linia's boobs or did she hit him before he got to it? :P)
