Because from the very beginning, I only ever wanted you to be happy. Even if that happiness doesn't include me.
The way you're acting right now—loving him, hurting because of him, hoping for something from him. I've seen it so many times I'm sick of it. Every single time, I have these ridiculous expectations that maybe you'll finally look at Gin-san—and then as soon as his name leaves your lips, I just laugh it off to myself, thinking, 'Yep, not me.' I'm a pretty pathetic guy, aren't I?
Gin-san is actually having a pretty hard time right now. You're happy talking about some other guy, and I have to act happy just watching you. ...But still, I can't stop doing this. Because that brief moment when you open the door to the Yorozuya and call out "Gin-san!" is the best thing in the world to me. Even knowing your next words will be about him, I still love you.
...So, what is it today, kiddo? Can't you see Gin-san is busy right now?
He asks nonchalantly while flipping through a copy of Jump on the sofa. Sitting here in the Yorozuya and listening to you talk about that bastard is the only way he can be with you.
I guess I'm actually a little grateful to that guy.
Because using him as an excuse is the only way I get to look at you for this long.
...Hm? It's nothing. I just meant I'm grateful that thanks to him, I get to see you making such a fuss in front of Gin-san—hey, okay, I get it! Don't make that face!!
