It's going to be hard unless season III has more than 13 episodes.

I'd say that volumes 10 and 11 need a whole season, same with 12 and 13. They are simply more talky than descriptive, and that means you can't do as many "pictures worth a thousand words" scenes where pages of scene setting and action take seconds of screen time. One of the reasons Vol 8 ended up taking more episodes than were available for volumes 7 and 9 was because all the action happens around Carne Village, so there isn't a lot of addtional scene setting required. And the amount of action was relatively small as well.

Vol 10 is that on steroids. And the scene setting in 11 is pretty limited despite mostly being in all new territory.

Also, the volumes are simply getting longer, they aren't to the point of two volumes being longer than three, but combined with the greater amount of already established scene settings, the pace in the anime is already starting to feel a bit rushed.

Plus, narratively speaking, Vol 10 and 11 are closely connected (chronologically and thematically), and Vol 12 and 13 are both part of the same story arc which covers two volumes. The time jump for the final scene of Vol 11 is so large it skips Vol 12 entirely.
