Key Points
1入れ込む means to take a strong personal interest
- In this scene, Vermouth suggests that Gin has taken an unusual interest in Sherry.
- The translation uses “interested” for the attention and personal investment that Vermouth sees in Gin.
2入れ込んでる is casual 入れ込んでいる
- Vermouth uses 〜ている for Gin’s current, continuing interest. Casual speech drops the い: 入れ込んでいる becomes 入れ込んでる.
3その小娘に completes Vermouth’s line
- に marks Sherry as the target of Gin’s interest. Vermouth places the phrase after the pause and ends on the dismissive 小娘.
