Want you to let me explain with 〜させてほしい

俺物語!! » Volume 7 » Page 73

Takeo tries helping the girl who likes his friend Sunakawa. When Takeo receives a call from his own girlfriend, he realizes he’s alone with another girl.

たけお:
「すまん大和(やまと)事情(じじょう)説明(せつめい)させてほしい
"Sorry, I'd like you to let me explain the situation to Yamato."
「ゆきかちゃんが砂川(すな)()きだってこと大和(やまと)(はな)していいか?」
"Is it all right if I tell Yamato you like Suna?"

Note: Takeo calls Sunakawa “Suna”, which is why the furigana on 砂川 is すな.
