So after this:
He says that bit and goes 'give me your answer after the founding festival a month or so from now.' then leaves. Things happen and he eventually gets ruinated.
So you remember in this chapter they mention she has an stepbrother that has a contract with an Ifrit? Turns out Daddy dearest added him to the family to mask the fact that his own Ifrit cuts its contract with him after he burned Brigitte's hand. This is actually a gigantic disgrace for the fire family, since the head of the family is supposed to use spirit magic during the founding festival. It only happens near the end of the volume we're about to start, so it's going to take a while but he will be ruined.
